The Man on the Moon

One fat foot in the mouth for Newt……One giant step toward the nomination for Mitt……

The race for the Republican presidential nomination is about to blast off into outer space: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich announced that, if elected, he’d establish a colony on the moon by 2020.

In a speech to supporters on the Florida space coast, Gingrich called for a “grandiose” effort to colonize space. “It’s the second great launch of the adventure John F. Kennedy started,” said Gingrich.

Uhh….okaaay…..Newt….colony on the moon eh….you go first…

Come on Callisa....I think I see a Tiffany's!!

The Gingriches are the perfect couple in space doncha think??  Callisa even has her own Judy Jetson helmet head hairstyle!

But space may have to wait…….

As I watched the GOP’s 731st debate last Thursday night, I thought Mitt actually handled himself pretty well against the Newtsternaut.  Between the “lunacy”of the moon talk and the fannie/freddie back and forth, I think Newt may have taken his rocket ride from South Carolina as far as it can go now and he’s heading for a “splash down” at Cocoa Beach..aka the Florida Primary!

See ya’ Newt, time to go back under the rock you crawled out from under.

**UPDATE**  Poor Newt.  A couple of “grandiose” teenagers from Canada beat him to it and put a Lego man into space.  Imagine the colony a Lego man could build!!

If you think these are funny, there are plenty more in full size here.  Some of the comments are even funnier than the pictures.

The leader of the free world says he makes 24 mistakes a day. That’s Comforting, isn’t it?

Yeah. Whatever.

“I second-guess constantly… I make a mistake, you know, every hour, every day,” he told ABC News’ Diane Sawyer, laughing.

Apparently, in addition to guessing at decisions and making mistakes every hour,  the leader of the free world also thinks it’s funny. Are you laughing? Look for a Republican TV commercial on this one.

“There’re always things that you’re learning in the job.

Well isn’t it wonderful that we have a manchild who is still on a learning curve as a Management Trainee for the office of the President Of The United States – at the end of his first term? In the real world, this guy would be reassigned to a place where he can’t do anymore harm.

 And I have no doubt that I’m a better president now than the day I took office just because you get more experience.

More experience at making mistakes, right?

Bring tissues. Lots of them.

Thanks to everyone who had the strong stomach to listen to  Obama’s speech  Obama’s last  STFU  SOTU.  From what I’ve read, it sounds like it was more of the usual lofty dreams with no (Hillary style) specifics of how to pay for them; basically more LIES.  You know, I think I’ve figured out why Obama has the big ears.  It’s not his pinocchio nose that gets bigger when he lies…. 

I only started paying REAL attention to politics in 2007 – so I don’t know what is standard for the SOTU address.  But I had always imagined this was a time that a president would speak to ALL her/his constituents, regardless of party, and give the most objective speech that s/he can manage.  It sounds like Obama, not unexpectedly, just gave one more in a long line of BITTER, partisan speeches – basically a campaign speech.  As I said, I don’t remember how other presidents handled it, but I suspect the insecurity and pettiness in Obama’s personality style would lead him more natually to the “us vs. them” style for which we’ve all come to know him.  He reflexively reverts to what’s best for him – not what’s best for the country (newsflash there, right? lol)

When I look at many Obama friendly websites, many commenters are really fed up with him.  Will they fall prey to the “where else you gonna go, the other side is worse!” fear, or will they have the strength and intelligence of PUMAs?

Maybe instead of singing Al Green’s “I’m so in love with you” (which is what he wants to plant in the audience’s mind, that THEY are in love with HIM), he should be singing Earth Wind and Fire’s “After the love is gone”.  Obots, are you going to stick with the guy who promises you lies, who takes you for granted, and who actually never comes through for you?  Or are you going to break up with him, and get involved in a superficial short-term rebound relationship to get him out of your system, so that after your rebound relationship, you can find a healthier relationship with a better person, one with better “associates”? 

Of course, the republicans aren’t helping this metaphor, with their poor slate of candidates….  :(

UW Note: Lorac, I hope you don’t mind that I added this video. It needs to bee seen and I didn’t want to add a post on lorac Wednesday. This is what Barack Obama always was and still is; A repetitious bullshitter who repeats the same bullshit every chance he gets.

Seeking volunteers with strong stomachs to view the SOTU

In a word, No.

What will Barack’s snappy logo look like when his work IS done?
