Barack Obama Shakes The Hand Of Dead Hero Jared Monti (Video)

MUCH hoo-hah in the media about Sarah Palin’s version of history in the matter of Paul Revere’s ride to US emancipation. Less, however, has been said about Barack Obama’s address to troops at Fort Drum – in which he recalled meeting a dead man:

Throughout my service, first as a senator and then as a presidential candidate and then as a President, I’ve always run into you guys. And for some reason it’s always in some rough spots.

First time I saw 10th Mountain Division, you guys were in southern Iraq. When I went back to visit Afghanistan, you guys were the first ones there. I had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously.”

Obama Will Do His Own Tweets – Party Warns Him Not To Twitpic His Erections

NOW that he needs the votes, Barack Obama is promising to tweet more – himself. After a long period where even the underlings hired to tweet for his official account seemed to get bored by their own copied-and-pasted press releases, Obama is back on the social media warpath and is going to tell us some stuff, on Twitter.

While his speeches were widely admired, the Obama tweets – and Facebook updates – have been much less than inspiring. In fact, they’ve been really dull. Will Obama himself really manage to liven them up?

Barack Obama Is Dead: Fox Salutes Barack Fauxbama – Because They Look And Think The Same

BARACK Obama is dead. All hail Barack Fauxama. A grinning fool called Gary Johnson was on the telly debating important things with a man who looks like Barack Obama. Well, the rent-a-Obama is black and tame – and they all look and think the same, don’t they.

Anyhow, we’re calling this  as racist. We demand that Obama – the post-race President – be played by a white man and Johnson by a small yapping dog in a dress. And have the moustache in the middle break into a old dFreddie Mercury number – it helps with the gravitas of political debate…

Sarah Palin Is Less Stupid Than The Liberal Press Over Paul Revere: Vote Obama for Gaffes

SARAH Palin is no academic heaveyweight. But, then, neither is Barack Obama. Neither was George Bush – both of them. Americans like their leaders to be above average in looks and charisma, have telegenic hair and a nice goofy grin. They like their leaders to be within reach, or, as you might put it, within shooting distance.

You might expect, then, that gaffes would be plentiful. They are. You might also expect that anyone hopeful of being President should come over as being too smart. Which brings us to Sarah Palin. Is she dumber than Obama No. Is she brighter? No. Is she better at winning over the media? No. Is she worse? Yes.

Sarah Palin Saves Barack Obama’s See-Saw Car With Paul Revere’s Horse Power

IT’S game on in the Barack Obama v Sarah Palin Stoopid Off. The contest is simple: each hopeful to win the next Presidential election tries to do or say something so stoopid that the rest of the world forgets about America’s bombs, hypocrisy and greed and just laughs it up.

Following Obama’s toast of toast, turning his car into a see-saw and dating a book in London “2008“, Sarah Palin steps up. Palin thinks it’s a good time to tell one and all about Paul Revere. You know, the one who invented the kiss curl…

Barack Obama’s London Legacy: The ‘2008’ State Visit In Photos

AND just like that, Barack Obama was gone. How will his trip be remembered?

Is it for the gaffes, of which there were three good ones: the huge American car got stuck on a bump in Ireland (was that Shergar giving one last kick from the grave?); Obama dated his signature “2008”; and he carried on talking having toasted “the Queen” and triggered the band to strike up the anthem at the banquet?

Obama’s State Visit To UK Photos And Gaffes: 2008 And A Musical Hiccup

IT’S Day 2 of Barack Obama’s trip to the UK. Anyone watching on the BBC will know that the special relationship is now an essential relationship, The One thinks it is 2008 – he dated his signature in a guestbook at Westminster Abbey “2008” – and has his own background music – he toasted “The Queen“, thus triggering the Scots Guards to play the national anthem, and then began quoting Shakespeare.

This, says the BBC, is not a sign that Obama is as stooopid as, say, George Bush, but the victim of a “hiccup“.

Special Barack Obama Plays Muslim Ping-Pong In London: Photos

BARACK Obama and Michelle are in the UK. The relationship is no longer “special” between the UK and the USA. It is “essential“. We get fatty food and an Air Force. They get Jamie Oliver. It’s a decent trade. The UK should not complain. London is now officially the world’s No.1 target for both home-grown and holidaying terrorists. Outside Buckingham Palace, the usual men and women in black, their faces obscured by beard and mask, taught us with militant Islam you are never alone.

Obama’s Cadillac 1 Is No Match For Irish Builders And Shergar

Barack Obama In Ireland: Photos

BARACK Obama has been to Ireland. It’s a big day for free Ireland. After years of poverty and life ruled by the English pound, the Irish are now free to pay off their own massiove debts – albeit with loans from the, er, English…

Was Hillary Clinton Airbrushed Into Situation Room Photo?

NEW York’s Yiddish newspaper Di Tzeitung airbrushed Hillary Clinton – her with the cough – from the that Situation Room photo of Barack Obama and cohorts watching Osama bin Laden being killed (or not).

They did this because the readers “believe that women should be appreciated for who they are and what they do, not for what they look like, and the Jewish laws of modesty are an expression of respect for women, not the opposite”.

Barack Obama’s Spin And Lies Over Osama Bin Laden’s Death Photo

SHOULD the US show us the photo of Osama bin Laden dead with a hole in his face? Do we need the photo to prove the kill of the mass murderer? Are we now so reliant on visual images that we are unable to get the facts without photographic evidence? And if bin Laden is not dead, where is he? And will he now appear to sqaush Obama, who is basking in improved poll ratings?

Bush Haters Say Obama Won The War On Terror: Hillary Clinton Disagrees

OBAMA killed Osama. That’s the gist of the chant outside the White House. “Yes we can,” comes the chant.

It’s all a bit odd, isn’t it? The war Osama bin Laden started. The war George Bush went into without batting an eyelid. The war that caused Al Qaeda killers to be captured and sent to Guantanamo Bay – that’s the place Obama said he’d close just as soon as he was elected. The war in Afghanistan that was about the US getting Bin Laden and crushing Al Qeda. Well, Obama, who came to power after it had began, has won it.

Obama’s Long Birth Certificate Endorsed By Official Cervical Mucus Plug Seal

BARACK Obama has decided to show you his birth certificate. To further squash claims that he was born somewhere other then in the US, the President will be using his cervical mucus plug on official seals. Obama will then revisit his birth by actually attempting to crawling inside his dead mother and be reborn, literally, in a TV address.

This is not a stunt, just the decent thing to do and befitting a man of his office.

New York Times Scooped By The Onion Over Obama’s Singing

FIRST the New York Times was scooped by news that Barack Obama sings in the shower. Then the paper of record’s fact-checkers got to work and got more upset:

A series of pictures last Sunday of covers of the magazine Tiger Beat, with an article about how the original teen-girl tabloid has remained virtually unchanged since its inception in 1965, erroneously included a parody cover, produced by the satiric newspaper The Onion, that featured a picture of President Obama.

Gaddafi’s Black Rapists Give Trump Oil To Grind Obama Over Libya

DONALD Trump may yet be President of the USA as he attacks Obams on Libya, a place overrun by Gaddafi’s rapists.

BILLIONAIRE businessman Donald Trump, who is flirting with a White House run, … said that by failing to move more decisively in its foreign policy, ”this country is a laughing stock throughout the world”…

“Look at Libya. Look at this mess,” an exasperated Trump said.

“We go in, we don’t go in, he shouldn’t be removed, we don’t want to remove him, we don’t want to touch him, but he should be removed. Nobody knows what they’re doing on Gaddafi.

“I’d do one thing. Either I’d go in and take the oil or I don’t go in at all,” he said.

Kevin Drum Still In The Cult Of Obama

BARACK Obama is vying to win again in 2010. He think he needs one billion dollars. But Mother Jones blogger Kevin Drum says all The One need to is stand in a room with each of us  while.

So what should I think about this? If it had been my call, I wouldn’t have gone into Libya. But the reason I voted for Obama in 2008 is because I trust his judgment. And not in any merely abstract way, either: I mean that if he and I were in a room and disagreed about some issue on which I had any doubt at all, I’d literally trust his judgment over my own.

Barack Obama Wins Transparency Award In Private

How Good Barack Obama Is Nothing Like Bad George Bush

FIRST the good news: Barack Obama is not the first American leader heading to the Middle East to overthrow a local nutter. The last one was called George Bush – and Obama is most definitely not him. No way. This ain’t no Iraq. This is Libya.

Says Barack Obama:

“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

Don Surber corrects him:

Actually, he does. It’s called the War Powers Act. It has been around since 1973.
