Attention Pol Pundits!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Tuesday, November 03, 2009 11:42:11 AM
For the benefit of the punditry who have been speculating about whether the Virginia gubernatorial election is a referendum on the Obama presidency, I would like to explain my vote for Bob McDonnell today.
 
When I went to the polls today it was on my mind, in fact, it was the ONLY thing on my mind! I hope that clears things up for you.
 
YES IT WAS!

Obamathon!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Monday, September 21, 2009 8:00:08 AM
The president says the easiest way to get on the news is to be rude. What would an interview sound like that held to Mr. Obama’s vision of “disagreeing without being disagreeable”? It might go something like this:

Chris Matthews (hear after CM): Good evening! Tonight we speak with Ann Coulter on the subject of health care.

CM: Welcome, Ann!

AC: A pleasure to be here Chris!

CM: Let’s get right to it. You have said that you very respectfully disagree with the president’s plan for national health care. Can you elaborate?

AC: Certainly, Chris. I know that the president is very intelligent and has given this proposal much thought but I think it may have some small problems such as being too expensive.

CM: The president has said that it won’t be too expensive, and as you say; he is very smart. Do you have any other reservations?

AC: Yes, Chris. Although I have full confidence that the president has the best interests of the people in mind, I fear that some few of them may find they don’t really have a choice in insurance after it is enacted.

CM: Ann, the president has said that if you like your current insurance you can keep it. If for some reason, not through any fault of your own of course, you find yourself without a choice; isn’t that all the more reason to have a reliable government insurance program to fall back on?

AC: Well Chris, I know your very smart too but isn’t that kind of what I was saying?

CM: I think we will have to respectfully disagree at this point.

AC: I, of course, respect your disagreement and further hope that the president will not take offense if my remarks were too strident.

CM: It’s always a pleasure to have you on the show, Ann!

AC: Thank you very much of inviting me, Chris!

Sorry, but I think I prefer a more spirited debate. If the president is right about only having to be rude to get on television; what does that say about him doing 5 shows in a single day?

Except Fox because they’re rude!

At the 7 month mark the president has done 114 TV interviews, or roughly 36 more than his two predecessors combined. Frankly, I’d rather see a Billy Mays Marathon. Now, no doubt seeking a place in the Guinness Book, it is being reported that he will do 5 Sunday shows, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Univision (whatever that is) but it appears he couldn’t find time to do Fox.

Good call! No sense having someone ask pesky questions about Obamacare such as; what will all this cost? Or: What’s in the bill? We can trust to George Step-on-all-of-us to ask the tough questions for us!

I know all politicians are in love with the sound of their own voices, just look at Biden, but this is ridiculous!

OBAMACARE – IT MIGHT BE BETTER THAN DYING!

President Obama Frozen in Terror

Posted by Sgt Relic on Saturday, April 11, 2009 5:33:09 PM
After nearly 90 days of broadcasting weakness and incompetence to the world the President seems to be gripped by fear as every tin pot dictator on the planet, including four guys bobbing around in a drifting lifeboat, do an imitation of High School jocks delivering a mega wedgie and stuffing the pencil neck geek into a school locker.
 
Why are these pirates still breathing? Mr. Obama, are you a man or a teleprompter?

White People Did It!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Friday, March 27, 2009 7:42:12 AM
We live in confusing times. According to a statement by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, given during a joint news conference with the deservedly maligned U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown, blamed the current financial crisis on "white people with blue eyes". There's a real statesman for you.....whitey did it!
 
This revelation very likely took Mr. Brown, a blue-eyed white person, and the proud possessor of 25 brand new DVDs he can't play in Britain, totally by surprise but it is thought that he gets a pass because he only has one real eye and is affectionately referred to by members of Parliament as the "One-Eyed Scottish Idiot". It's also good news for whitey here in the U.S. where only about 1 in 6 Americans have blue eyes. Soooo, the good news is that most of us are off the hook for this disaster since we are not genetically predisposed to be responsible for financial difficulties. Brazilian genetic science must be very advanced to have made this connection but I guess it could just be racism.
 
Who knows, there might be something to this. According to a President's Day piece by Medved, the TH guy not to be confused with the evil Russian President, I know it's easy to get them mixed up, only five presidents have had brown eyes and they are not usually mentioned among the great leaders in history. What can we infer from this information? Obama definitely doesn't have blue eyes putting him in a category with the not so great LBJ, long hailed for his financial acumen and the Great Society, and Tricky Dick who gave us the price and wage freeze, took us off the gold standard, and it is rumored set this whole chain of events in motion by borrowing 50 bucks from Zhou Enlai. 
 
Using the Brazilian's presidents reasoning Obama should be a financial wunderkind!
 
Anybody seen any evidence of that yet?
 
I think El Presidente may be eating mangoes that have been out in the sun too long!

Buffett says, "Everything will be alright."

Posted by Sgt Relic on Tuesday, March 10, 2009 8:05:08 AM
The Avis of American billionaires, Warren Buffett, speaking in an interview on CNBC said the economy has "fallen off a cliff". The Omaha NE mogul who endorsed Mr. Obama in the last election, apparently believing that nationalizing everything in sight and spending incredible amounts of tax dollars, the cost to be borne by future generations, is the answer to our economic woes.  He also called upon our nations leaders, particularly those in the legislative branch, to stop the partisan bickering over what solutions are best for America.
 
This writer was confused by this last statement having labored all these years under the impression that it was the function of the congress to debate and arrive at the best decision for the country. Is that just something they do for C-Span? Should our national government be more like the great double play combination of Tinkers to Evers to Chance, with Red Nanny writing the bill, whipping it over to "Land Deal" Harry for his approval who then sends it with the speed of a Gossage fastball to the Oval Office for rubber stamping?

The reality is that congressional republicans can talk to their hearts content but in the end they are outvoted so republican counter-proposals carry the same weight as your opinion did concerning what refrigerator your parents were going to buy. Maybe it wasn't a frig but you remember the conversation, it goes like this; "What do you think of this one son?", you respond, "I like the little one that would fit in my room!", and the answer is, "Well this is one we're getting!" We are close enough to single solution politics as it is.
 
Did Warren miss the fact that nobody in congress EVEN READ the 787 billion dollar stimulus bill? Perhaps that was his point. It would seem logical to view floor debate over a bill THAT NOBODY ACTUALLY READ to appear to be partisan side taking!!!! I mean, republicans voted AGAINST it without knowing what was in it, but then didn't democrats vote FOR IT without knowing what they were in favor of.
 
Mr. Buffett, a prominent member of Team Obama as part of the President's economic brain trust continued, "What is required is a commander in chief that's looked at like a commander in chief in a time of war." I couldn't say if Mr. Obama is looked upon as a war time commander in chief but I will agree that sometimes he looks "like one". Mixing metaphors, lets play the old NFL "you make the call" game with the following pictures.

Now if he can just get the trains to run on time we're golden!

Is Joe Biden the Man for this Job?

Posted by Sgt Relic on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 5:37:37 PM
According to an article at CNSNews , the Gaffe Master, Veep Joe Biden is threatening any state that fails to use their chunk of the pork from the Stimulus Bill properly, with...wait for it......media ridicule. Oh, No! That never happens in the press, well, it never happens to democrats.
 
President Obama, in his address to the nation, made what could well be the most presidential "stating of the obvious" since "Silent Cal" uttered those immortal words, "When more and more people are thrown out of work, unemployment results." Mr. Obama admitted that good intentions often turn into broken promises in Washington and gave reassurance to the nation that this would not be the case since he is appointing "The Gaffester" as the enforcer, adding, “That is why I have asked Vice President Biden to lead a tough, unprecedented oversight effort – because nobody messes with Joe.”
 
NOBODY MESSES WITH JOE!!!
 
Everybody messes with Joe! The President messes with Joe, "that's just Joe being Joe". Joe messes with Joe, unintentionally of course, but what is the president smoking, and will it be free under his new Marxist healthcare plan?
 
What will the Veep do? Mock us from the castle parapet? F*rt in our general direction? For all the good this massive transfer of wealth will do, this reporter would be just fine if the Governor decided to pass on the programs and just have pizza delivered Friday night.

The GOP Fights Back!

Posted by Sgt Relic on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 9:57:27 AM
Update!! Yesterday's unified vote by all House Republicans, joined by 11 brave Democrats, failed to stop the newest $825 billion dollar boondoggle but showed that there may be hope left for the GOP, even under the current leadership. The vote gives Obama and Pelosi full ownership for the bill's success or failure, and since this pork laden package has little chance of doing any more than paying off democrat support groups, the outcome is not much in doubt. The economy will continue to struggle but ACORN will get a big pay raise!
 
Now, the GOP must hit the airwaves, internet, and print media with the contents of this package and explain what their alternatives were and how those alternatives had a chance of actually working. Voters were outraged at the Bush $700 billion dollar welfare check for Wall Street and the Banking sector, not to mention the auto industry, and now, here comes $800+ billion to follow that money down the drain while unemployment, foreclosures and falling home values continue unabated. Well, Obama said he was bringing change, who knew it meant he'd spend more than Bush!
 
This bill is shovel-ready, it should be buried! Next up, the senate gets it's turn. Will GOP senators deserve to have their titles and their august body capitalized as shown above for House Republicans?
 
This title has been in my pending folder since inauguration day. I intended to champion the cause of the GOP as they tried to put into action their newly re-discovered conservatives roots. So far I've got nothing!

First Failure of 2009

Posted by Sgt Relic on Sunday, January 04, 2009 6:18:23 PM
I'm an embarrassment to Barack!
I only scored 14 on the Obama Test
2009 is already starting to show signs of being a bad year. My lack of preparation for the coming administration has already lead to the dismal score I received on the Obama Test. Clearly, I am not ready to be RULED (didn't we get rid of rulers a few years back?) by "The One".
 
This writer resolves to "change" and "hopes" to be able to achieve a "0" before Inauguration Day! (Honestly, I can't explain what I got right) Click on the link to take the test.

Obama Brings the Love

Posted by Sgt Relic on Saturday, April 12, 2008 10:11:26 PM
 (pictured left: It is thought that due to a lack of minorities in certain of the candidate's speaking venues, supporters are being encourage to bring pictures of minorities to fill out the background. This is a common practice in democratic campaigns.)

Senator Barack Obama, speaking to a group of supporters in San Francisco, made the following remarks:

"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them,"

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,"

Apparently it is the view of the democratic candidate from Illinois, that when people lose their jobs, wait around 25 years for them to reappear and are then frustrated when these jobs don’t materialize, they become bitter and angry. This anger drives them to seek solace in such outdated and antiquated notions as faith in God, exercising their 2nd amendment rights, and the wildly radical idea that the United States is a sovereign country.

The last bitterness is not too difficult to understand in the light of Pennsylvania being fourth in the country in Trade Union membership. The same Trade Unions who failed to keep those jobs from disappearing are also against free trade. Mr. Obama, however, hangs this “anti-trade sentiment” on the end of his list of prerogatives just as if he himself wasn’t opposed to NAFTA and CAFTA in complete accord with the labor unions.

The remarks were explained(?) by the candidate as follows:

“At a town hall meeting on Friday, Obama said he made the comment because some supporters heard he was having trouble attracting working-class voters. He was trying to say he empathized with them.”

So in the view of the Senator, calling people bitter Christo-phobic racist gun-nut isolationists is the best way to show empathy for small town America. The message is also best delivered, not in a small town, but rather in San Francisco, a city that The Black Agenda Report says is engaged in ethnic cleansing having already successfully displaced 60% of working class blacks through urban redevelopment programs.

This is the same city that announced a full-scale media blitz to attract the illegal aliens needed to fill these jobs, at lower wages of course, and complete with taxpayer funded benefits. This is the city by the bay represented by Nancy Pelosi, who is currently engaged in killing the fence project, bottling up enforcement legislation, and moving yet another AMNESTY bill in the congress. It would appear that the congress in general and the democrats in particular will not be satisfied until every American job is either off-shore or in the hands of someone not legally allowed to work. Except their own job of course!
 
Perhaps Mr. Obama should have stuck to what works and simply said that they were just “typical” small town Americans.
