Barack Obama Is A Crushing Failure: He Cares Not For Europe Nor Libya

SO. Now we know. While Libyan revels fight Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, Barack Obama sits on his hands. Obama is all smiles and no substance. In doing nothing the West tells the world that suppression wins.

Hosni Mubarak might lament that fact that he went without turning his Army on the people. Had he done so, Obama would have done nothing, just as he does with Gaddafi’s Libya. Obama set himself up as the antidote to George Bush. But would Bush have acted now? Would Bush have seen the rigged election that kept the bellicose Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power as a just cause? A war that prevents something wrong from happening is just cause.

In 1993, the US Catholic Conference said just cause for war was defined as:

Just Cause: force may be used only to correct a grave, public evil, i.e., aggression or massive violation of the basic rights of whole populations.

Obama Plans To Import 100m Middle East Muslims To United States, Source Says

BARACK Obama’s plan is to save the Middle East by relocating the region to Washington, Montana and and any empty office space in New York. Richard Bartholomew writes on the latest Obama conspiracy theory:

DAVID Corn has some fun with conspiracy theorist Avi Lipkin:

…here’s the mother of all right-wing conspiracy theories: Obama is scheming to bring tens of millions of Muslims—perhaps up to 100 million—from the Middle East into the United States in order to turn this country into an Islamic nation by the end of his second term.

Fortunately, this diabolical plan has been exposed by an American-born Israeli named Avi Lipkin, who says he once was a translator for the Israeli government, and an outfit called Special Guests, which books conservative commentators and advocates on popular television and radio talk shows. Lipkin’s website claims that since 1990 he has lectured on various topics—including the threat of Islam and Israel—in over 1000 churches and synagogues in the United Sates, Canada, England, Greece, Israel, and other countries. His bio notes that he heads the Judeo-Christian Bible Bloc party in Israel.

Barack Obama Is Freedom For Lunch: Open Sesame, Egypt

BARACK Obama is free for lunch:

TUESDAY
Hummus, falafel, tabouli, yogurt ayran

On Tuesday we say “open sesame” to the delicious healthy cuisine of our peace-loving friends in the Middle East. That exciting region has been in the news a lot recently, especially Egypt. This week we learned that ancient land is much more than just pyramids and mummies – it’s also a place where people get disappointed when they lose their internet connection. While you are enjoying lunch, talk with your friends about Egyptian current events. Who are the ‘good guys’? Who are the ‘bad guys’? What should I do? When you have an answer, write an essay and send it to me. You might win an all- expense-paid diplomacy trip with my State Department team!

Barack Obama’s Tuscon Applause Cue Surprises White House

WHEN grey-haired sage Barack Obama put down his gun and spoke about Gabrielle Giffords (Gabby to you), he became the BBC’s first “post-partisan” President. And the crowd clapped.

White House Press Secretary Roert Gibbs was amazed by the clapping:

“I will say that I read the speech several times and thought that there wouldn’t be a lot of applause if any. I think many of us thought that. But I think there was a celebration, again, of the lives of those who had been impacted. Not just at that grocery store but throughout the country. And I think that, if that is part of the healing process, then that’s a good thing.”

Obama Opens His Eyes With Gabrielle Giffords

JOE Klein looks at Obama’s speech on the Gabrielle Giffords shooting:

He spoke as a son–I couldn’t help but think of his personal regret over not being by his mother’s side when she passed as he said, “Did we spend enough time with an aging parent, we wonder.” You could see the devastation insinuate itself onto, and then be quietly willed away from, his face. He spoke as a brother to his fellow public servants, killed and wounded in the events–an eager brother bringing the glad tidings the Gabrielle Giffords had opened her eyes. He repeated it, joyously, three times. But most of all, he spoke as a father–rising to a glorious peak describing the departed 9-year-old, Christine Taylor Green, a girl near the age of his daughters, whose own deaths, perhaps in the line of fire, he had so clearly been thinking about. And he spoke, more broadly, as the head of our national family, comforting, uplifting, scolding a little, nudging us toward our better angels.

Barack Obama And Prince Charles: Two Green Peas In A Thin-Skinned Pod

SO, which US leader is the most stupid? This is big question in the media since Sarah Palin called North Korea a friend of The US. She responded to her error (and, yes, she know she had made one) with a witty address based on Barack Obama’s litany of verbal rickets.

The media is so biased that in today’s Independent readers get the “great American gaffe-off”, pitting Sarah Palin against George Bush. What, no Bill Clinton, a man who didn’t even know what “sexually relations” meant? No Joe Biden, the current VP, the man who told wheelchair bound Missouri Senator Chuck Graham to stand up to be recognized at a rally. “Chuck, stand up, let the people see you,” said Joe.

What, no Back Obama, the man who called her a “pig” and once attempted to enter the White House through a window?

Barack Obama Was Defeated By Blood Of Jesus: Photo

BARACK Obama was not beaten in the mid-term by disappointed voters, the Tea Party movement or a recession that continues to bite – he was defeated by Jesus.

“THE BLOOD OF JESUS AGAINST OBAMA HISTORY MADE 4 NOVEMBER A TALIBAN MUSLIM ILLEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT USA HUSSEIN”

And what with Obama being a Christian and all, that is really bad news for him.

Had only Democrats believed the voices and got the Muslim they voted for. Obama let them down.

Obama is The Humourless West Wing President: An Award-Winning Work Of Fiction

I NEVER watched the West Wing. Maureen Dowd says Obama is the WEst Wing President:

At first it was exciting that Obama was the sort of brainy, cultivated Democrat who would be at home in a “West Wing” episode.

But now he acts like he really thinks he’s on “West Wing,” gliding through an imaginary, amber-lit set where his righteous self-regard is bound to be rewarded by the end of the hour.

They liked Obama because he made them like themselves more. Then the Americans began to see what he actually did and stood for…

Kathleen Parker looks at Obama on Jon Stewart last week. Obama has no humour:

Stewart had just asked Obama how he could square his campaign mantra of “change” with hiring economic advisers such as Larry Summers, who looks the same as those who had served in previous administrations.

In response, Obama said that Summers had done a “heck of a job.” Whereupon, Stewart said, “You don’t want to use that phrase, dude.”

Everyone got the joke. George W. Bush used the same words to commend Michael “Brownie” Brown after his disastrous performance as head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency following Hurricane Katrina. Translation: You’re fired.

Everyone got the joke, except for Obama. He got it eventually, after seeing the “oops” expression on Stewart’s face, but he couldn’t take the joke. There’s a world of difference. Instead of laughing at himself, he turned to the audience – a beat too late – and said, “Pun intended”.

No, it wasn’t. Anyone watching could see that. He slipped. Obama is a nice guy and he was trying to say something nice about Summers, and “heck of a job” tumbled out. No big deal. We get it. Stuff happens. But Obama couldn’t roll with the gut punch.

In that, among other moments, Obama revealed his fatal flaw. He has no sense of humour. He might be able to laugh at a joke. He can even tell one.

But what Obama revealed was that he has no sense of humour about himself. This is huge.

Obama Blames Italy For Mariner Energy Fire In Gulf?

IN the Gulf of Mexico, Mariner Energy’s 13 workers fled the rig they were working on caught fire.

This rig is to the west of the earlier BP explosion that had killed 11 workers.

There are no reports of oil being spilt – yet. But we do live in an endangered world, and we call on David Cameron to phone Barack Obama and ask for Mariner’s head honcho to be hauled before the UN to explain himself.

Obama should then go on the TV and pronounce Mariner as Mareen-ar-ei, to emphasise the word’s Italian heritage.

11% of Americans Think Obama Looks Black Because Their TV Is Faulty

BARACK Obama only looks black to some…

Barack Obama is a Muslim. At least that is what 18 percent of Americans think. Of those 18 percent, 16 per cent think he does not exist at all; 13% think he’s a robot sponsored by a Speak ‘n’ Spell machine; 11 percent don’t think at all; and 7 percent wanted the question repeated at least twice.

Obama duly goes on the TV – where 32 percent think he lives (11 percent believe his darkened appearance is due to bad colour contrast on their Japanese sets).

In the interview with Brian Williams he says:

“I can’t spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead.”

Well, no. When you go swimming it will fall off. Better to get a tattoo…

Barack Obama’s Top Priority Is A New Speechwriter

BARACK Obama’s Top Priority is…often and changing. He says “Top Priority” a lot. What else could he use instead?

ECONOMIC RECOVERY: “Our top priority is to recover and rebuild from a recession that has touched the lives of nearly every American.” (6-15-10) Address to the Nation

JOB CREATION: “Creating jobs in the United States and ensuring a return to sustainable economic growth is the top priority for my Administration.” (3-11-10)

FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS: “…that’s something that’s going to be a top priority.” (4/27/10)

ENERGY SECURITY: “And that’s why my energy security plan has been one of the top priorities of my Administration since the day I took office.” (4/28/10)

Barack Obama Needs A Good War To Save Himself

BARACK Obama is less popular with Americans than he was. This was bound to happen, you think. Well, no.  This poll from Gallup (click to make bigger) explains what can go right and wrong for the US President. It might be that to save himself or be saved, Obama needs a war. Having forgotten his British allies and talked up the BP disaster, Obama now foolishly gets involved in the debate over the building of a mosque near Ground Zero, New York.  He’s at an Iftar dinner in celebration of Ramadan.

Says Obama:

“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country.

“That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”

Agreed. These are strong words. Obama champions the ideals that help make the US a great country. Obama has made a decisive statement.

George Bush Greets The Troops As Obama Lets Us Forget

ANYONE missing George W. Bush yet? One things Obama might have gotten wrong is to fail to remind everyone enough what went before.

Andrew Sullivan says:

Now, the Tories have only just gotten into office, while Obama has had a year and a half to be accountable. But they are doing what Obama should, in my view, have done from the start: relentlessly remind people of what the GOP did to this country.

Another thing Obama might have gotten wrong is forgetting who his allies are and looking like he’s in it for the money and fame as his wife swans about Marbella while the recession continues to bite.

When Obama Met Cameron: Pictures

PRIME Minister David Cameron held a news conference with US President Barack Obama, at the Whitehouse in Washington. The talk, on the record, was of BP, Lockerbie and special relationship. Off the record, the pair chatted about Barack’s chances of getting a walk-on part in James ‘Dave’ Cameron’s next film; how Louisiana can be sold back to France; and how the USA beat England 1-1- in the World Cup…

All the following pictures can be captioned with “SINCERITY” or “SAUSAGES”…

Barack Obama’s Tuxedo Killer Wants New Prison JLS Tattoos

WE first encountered Daniel Cowart, 20, in October 2008, when along with Paul Schlesselman, 18, he planned to murder Barack Obama and tens of black people.

The plan to kill Obama was foolproof:

In separate interviews with investigators, the men said that they planned to speed their vehicle toward Obama while “shooting at him from the windows”.

Having driven to meet Obama in a car bearing a swastika and “numerous racially motivated words and symbols” (written in chalk), they would blend in seamlessly with the black scene by dressing in all white tuxedos and top hats”.

Amazingly, the Fred Astaire White Supremacists were spotted. In court, he pleaded guilty. He faces 12-18 years inside.

Now Cowart is back in the news. His lawyer “has filed a motion asking that he be transported to the Madison County Jail for tattoo alteration before he is sent to federal prison”.

NASA Meets Muslims In Space – Obama Reaches Boldly Out

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden tells al-Jazeera that Obams detailed him to reach out ot Muslims – and not only those in space.

Jules Crittenden prepares the speech: “People of the Muslim World … We come in peace!”

“When I became the NASA administrator — or before I became the NASA administrator — he charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering …”

Patronising. Moi? Look – we bring beads…to count on. And get a load of those rockets aimed at Iran…
