Obama: Taupe without Portfolio

Brown's election was a surprise, yes, but not out of phase with events preceding it: Cap & Trade dying in the Senate, START 3 dying in a Russian gulag, Gitmo not closing, Middle-East peace efforts being a joke, Copenhagen Treaty dying from a heavy dose of reality, and NJ & VA governors' races swamping dems. And, of course, health care was co-terminous with Brown's victory. Coming shortly is NYC's local political body voting to formally reject KSM's trial. Oh, and we don't like to be laughed at: Nice move on the Olympics, amateur.

What America is left with is the First Taupe President roaming the country like a professional ambassador presently without portfolio.

He'll continue pressing forward on new topics: The teleprompter told us about new financial regs; and Obama's about to tell us about "human slavery" in the United States as a basis for immigration reform (I am not kidding). This slavery gimmick is the ruse he thinks will allow him to get immigration reform passed quickly.

The challenge Obama faces is that no one is listening anymore. We are, above all else, a serious people: We recognize problems, we allow politicians an opportunity to solve them, and when they don't we move onto the next problem solver. We close doors on those that fail, and they remain closed as surely as if the door no longer exists.

The pristine nature of Obama's isolation is that we have also stopped listening to those around him:

AG Holder has had his four strikes: He told us we are "afraid" to talk about race, as if he holds the right to talk to us in such terms; he dismissed the New Black Panthers' case, in which we all saw blatant voter intimidation rooted in the ugliest form of racism ("A black man's gonna be elected today" - just switch "black" to "white," libs); he informed NYC they would host the KSM trial without any consultation; and he decided to Mirandize the Underware Bomber without consulting with any intelligence agency.

WH Spokesman Gibbs told us today that Brown's election was a vote in favor of President Obama's agenda. That's worth three strikes all on its own (Holder got four strikes because, well, you figure it out).

The self-hating Jews Axelrod and Rahm are the stewards of Obama's agenda - we all know this - and the agenda has failed miserably (op cit., lede).

Vice President Biden touted the million jobs "saved or created" while all we saw were several-fold jobs "killed or cratered." He almost earned another at bat when he made that "nothing like a lynching to get your attention" crack in front of Obama. Almost.

DHS Secretary J'nap allowed a coatless Nigerian traveling to a winter city with no luggage who paid thousands in cash for a ticket to board a plane filled with Americans, and then told us a series of self-serving CYAs which were systematically disproved during the subsequent 72 hours. Strikes 1, 2, 3, and out. By the time we learned that they planned to talk to the young terrorist "after the plane landed in Detroit," we were beyond incredulity and anger, and responded with a dismissive smirk.

Obama stands alone.

We will listen to his State of the Union address this week, the most significant lead-up controversy being which television show he would preempt. There's only one thing he could say in this address to help himself: 'I'm sorry. Each and every cabinet secretary, czar, and senior adviser have been fired. Do over." We might actually feel sorry for the guy, and give him a second chance.

But he won't. He'll lament the challenge he inherited, will promise to re-double his efforts, and will say it all in campaign style. The First Taupe President is now going to feign fire. The problem is that we have seen it all before, lots bought into it, and then watched in horror as the mask fell. Just because he puts the mask back on does not lead to an increase in the polls or efficacy. All the words about unemployment, Afghanistan, Haiti - lengthen the list as you please - will be forgotten by lunch the following day by us ... and him.

Obama stands today without a portfolio. After the SOTU address, he will remain so.

As a serious people, there is one thing we cannot stand: An unrepentant loser.

Slavery in America???? Really???? Slavery was exported to many third world countries in 1993 and re-enforced again in 2004 the first time by Bill Clinton the second time by George Bush? Both Congress and the Senate were complicit in both signings of the exportation of Slavery to so many third world countries and their impoverished peoples just to make even more dirty $$$$$$$$$$$ for them and their very rich friends?

So Mr. O? And cohorts? Don?t bother with the song and dance on slavery here in America? It is still but a dream and scheme in your sad sick minds to bring back those horrible days to America? It won?t work because there are too many eyes on you now and we know the disgrace you have brought to a proud Nation and it?s people?

Excellent breakdown, Clyde.

It's the Mandate Stupid! Or should I say the stupid mandate? The Democrat arrogance of threatening to jail people for not buying health insurance told the elecotrate everything they needed to no about these petty little tyrants. Come Novemeber I suspect the voters will have a mandate of their own.

  • Schlafly: Health Care Vote Set to Expose the My...

    Direct hit: "It is naive for any elected official, especially one who describes himself as 'pro-life,' to expect that a promise to issue an Executive Order that reasserts the intentions of the Hyde Amendment will be fulfilled by the most pro-abortion president to ever sit in the White House. Perhaps Mr. Stupak and his fellow pro-life Democrats forget that President Obama's first Executive Order was the repeal of the Mexico City Policy to allow for international funding of abortion." "Not only would an Executive Order be rendered meaningless in the face of Congress passing legislation which actively provides for the massive expansion and funding of abortion services, but anyone who doubts the abortion tsunami which awaits this bill becoming law lives in a fantasy world."

  • One last trick up Boehner's sleeve?

    Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) said House leaders are specifically concerned about a Republican motion to recommit that would contain only language on abortion that Stupak originally had wanted to include in the Senate bill. The concern is based on the fear of GOP attack ads painting Democrats who vote against a motion to recommit that includes Stupak?s favored language on abortion as ?flip-floppers? on the issue?

    Members of the pro-choice caucus are livid after the White House released the Executive Order on abortion to the media without showing it to them. According to members who spoke on the condition of anonymity, at the end of the Stupak press conference today they were still waiting to see the language of the Executive Order. The first they saw of it was after the White House released it with a statement to the media.

    Great Analysis. Begins here: Would a straightforward, unbiased analysis of the presidential actions of Barack Obama through March 2010, lead to a demand for his immediate impeachment and removal from office? Yes, for a most transparent reason: Obama is purposely undermining the US Constitution. In doing so, his actions make unstable every institution and office below the presidency, since the Constitution is the foundation of every government power and official decision. In fomenting institutional unrest across the US, he threatens the safety of every American man, woman and child, and all our citizens abroad.

  • Conference of Bishops: It is the unanimous view...

    Do we really need to state the obvious? Laws are made and changed in the Legislative Branch, not the Executive. Only in dictatorships are laws made by the Executive Branch.
    According to these rulings, such health legislation creates a statutory requirement for abortion funding, unless Congress clearly forbids such funding. That is why the Hyde amendment was needed in 1976, to stop Medicaid from funding 300,000 abortions a year. The statutory mandate construed by the courts would override any executive order or regulation. This is the unanimous view of our legal advisors and of the experts we have consulted on abortion jurisprudence. Only a change in the law enacted by Congress, not an executive order, can begin to address this very serious problem in the legislation."

  • Breaking: Hoyer - We don't have the votes yet

    House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) predicted Sunday that Democrats will have the votes to pass the massive health care bill later in the day, but he suggested a number of crucial Members were still undecided. ?There are still Members looking at it and trying to make up their minds, but we think there are going to be 216-plus votes when we call the roll,? Hoyer said on NBC?s "Meet the Press.? He added, "We?re going to pass this bill.? Hoyer said the remaining votes the Democrats need are ?in the low single digits, certainly.?

    So the Dems now want to decide who lives and who dies so badly, they have rigged the rules to require 67 votes to kill the death panels. Keep in mind this is the same number of votes needed to pass a Constitutional Amendment.
    [Democrats] have inserted . . . a provision that it would take a supermajority of 67 votes in the Senate for future legislative bodies to even consider amendments to its provisions for "death panels." . . . The bill states, "It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection." That subsection addresses rules and regulations that doctors would be ordered to follow by the "Independent Medicare Advisory Boards a/k/a the Death Panels," RedState reported.
