Your open thread today whilst poor Barack Obama gets some rest.

Posted on March 8, 2009 by Uppity Woman

Ok……. well the UK is a bit miffed that the Obamas treated Gordon Brown like a street vendor who was just passing by.

Mr. Brown arrived bearing gifts such as a pen holder made from the wood of a warship that helped stamp out the slave trade. According the the UK’s Telegraph, this ship was the a sister ship of the same vessel from which timbers were taken to build Mr Obama’s Oval Office desk. Overall, it’s fairly easy to assume a lot of thought went into that gift.

Well, it seems that the Obamas left gift selection for the Browns to one of those crass, fresh-out-of -college childlike White House employees who are so attracted and dedicated to him.  So  I envision that the little twit ran down to the White House gift shop and picked out something really cool that he would want himself. This means that the Obamas gave the Prime Minister of England a boxed set of 25 Hollywood movie DVDs, which I am told included ET, The Godfather and Starwars. They tossed in two model Marine 1 helicopters for good measure. Gratefully, no whoopie cushion was included.

Apparently the complaints from the UK were rampant. Gee, I wonder why? One editorial I read from the UK referred to President Obama as a child.

The White House probably figured out by now that classless gifts like DVD boxed sets are not very smart choices for visiting dignitaries, although such a gift would probably work really well for Barack’s  classy speechwriter if you throw in a 12-pack, a trophy for showing up and a blowup doll.

Gosh, I hope I haven’t given them any gift ideas for the next visiting dignitary…..

In any event, the UK press on this issue has been horrific. UK’s Telegraph was more than happy to yak about all of this so that everyone in the UK could become even more inflamed.

Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been “overwhelmed” by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.

British officials, meanwhile, admit that the White House and US State Department staff were utterly bemused by complaints that the Prime Minister should have been granted full-blown press conference and a formal dinner, as has been customary. They concede that Obama aides seemed unfamiliar with the expectations that surround a major visit by a British prime minister.

But Washington figures with access to Mr Obama’s inner circle explained the slight by saying that those high up in the administration have had little time to deal with international matters, let alone the diplomatic niceties of the special relationship.

And that was actually one of the nicer quotes from the article. You can see the rest here: .”Barack Obama too “tired” to give proper welcome to Gordon Brown“. Brown really needs to get over himself. I mean, it’s not like he’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or anything.

So let’s face it:  He hasn’t been in office for two months and he looks like he did during the primaries when Hillary ran him so ragged he had to go on vacation.

So today,  Freedom Fairy honors Barack Obama’s tiredness while he takes a rest.

Whew! This Presidential stuff is  hard work!42-17069469

    Too tired, my ass. They’re just a pair of no-class fucks.
    1. If he’s too tired to do his job, maybe he should give up partying every night.
    2. Mr. and Mrs. 0 have disgraced the United States of America before the entire world. And this is just the beginning. But of course will be a different story when the Arabs come to town.
    3. The 0 White House, or, as it’s racist occupants prefer to call it since they can’t stand the word “white,” the people’s house, is Birth of a Nation made real.
    4. Boxed DVD’s and plastic toys– if the Brits won’t spit on the 0′s, I will.

    Do you think that Michelle and Obambi stopped by Walgreens before they hopped on Air Force One to head over to the UK to pick up those lovely gifts for the Prime Minister Brown?? Why didn’t he pick up a “Sham-Wow” and a “Slap Chop” too.

    How pathetic is Obambi!!

    Heres another mindblowing quote from the Telegraph article Uppity links to:

    “A well-connected Washington figure, who is close to members of Mr Obama’s inner circle, expressed concern that Mr Obama had failed so far to “even fake an interest in foreign policy”.”

    Its a good thing HIllary’s interested in it. By the way, Sarainitaly also had a great post about the Brown brouhaha earlier over at NQ.

    Funny post Uppity–love the funny visual by FF.

    Well, that might be a relief. The Radio News this morning was reporting that he is VERY interested in “working with” the “less radical” arms of the Taliban.

    Would those be, well….the ones who only beat and shoot women, as opposed to the ones who behead foreigners?
    Apparently he also was harping on “our friends” in “Pok-ee-sthan”

    I betcha HRC quits before his first (and I hope only) term.

    We went from one president who didn’t give a shit about domestic policies, like his daddy before him—to another president who doesn’t give a shit about foreign policy. Apparently we can only fix one thing at t time in the white house, while we break the other.

  6. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 8:01 AM said:

    I don’t think presidents pick out gifts. I say they delegated the creativity to a staffer. That’s their job. Of course, when you have 22 year olds who are out of touch with adults by virtue of the fact that the only thing they know about adults is that their parents are cash cows, you get a box of CDs picked out hastily. I’ve seen it plenty of times. They expect big things but they do’t think they need to put any time iinto it themselves.

  7. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 8:03 AM said:

    They probably didn’t even know what was in the box. LOL. Nice shock.

    So, I know people in this forum don’t like President Bush, but I have to say something. He was gracious and prepared for all his world leaders and he didn’t get “overwhealmed” after 9/11 which was the real biggest crisis in this century.

    This ass is just a ridiculous joke.

  9. Palin4Prez, on March 8, 2009 at 8:05 AM said:

    Was it really DVDs? Because what’s even sadder is that Britain is region 2 and the US is region 1. US DVDs won’t even play on a UK DVD player.

  10. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 8:12 AM said:

    Oh I absolutely agree P4. He treated guests with more than proper protocol. Unfortunately he completely ignored domestic policy.

    The yahoos in the white house are young inexperienced and impatient children, too lazy to bother with protocol. His staff is playing to children. Unfortunately, children are embarrassing. The Obamas need to put some adults in charge of protocol. You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. We saw during his campagin how ignorant and arrogant some of his representatives were. Remember that sweating swine Burton? That twit was a glib little fool with a snear to boot. Glad he didn’t have a place at the white house. A true child. And Gibbs wasn’t much better. Now that Gibbs has to answer some real questions and watch out for his lies, he’s perpetually saying ahhhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhh. Obama surrounded himself with armpit farters. I’m sorry but it’s true.

  11. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 8:24 AM said:

    And I’d love to know who the yahoo at the state department is who translated “RESET” to Russian and came up with “OVERCHARGED”. If that person isn’t fired, then these people are ALL brain dead. We are being embarrassed left and right by children with no wisdom or life experiences.

    So today, Freedom Fairy honors Barack Obama’s tiredness while he takes a rest.”

    My initial complaint when taking a closer look at Obama during the primaries was that he lacked substance. I was not getting a sense of what he stood for or advocated. No substance. Flash in pan. All about him.

    Maybe I need to look elsewhere for a while. He is the “same ol’ ” every time.

  14. Grail Guardian, on March 8, 2009 at 9:02 AM said:

    Alas, I read that the DVD set was prepared specifically at the request of the White House by the American Film Institute. That removes the possibility that it was a last minute mad dash (“Oh, shit! He brought Barack a present! What the hell do we have that we can wrap fast?”) that we could at least explain away as inexperience. (Where have I heard that word before?)

    What these brainless clods don’t seem to grasp is that any gift to PM Brown is a gift to the British people. The Brits honored the US with a meaningful gift commemorating the “progress” we have made against the slavery of the past. Ironically, it is believed that The Manchurian Candidate was one if the 25 films included in the box set.

  15. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 9:04 AM said:

    …and on every day, he rested.

    ROFL!

    That’s just it. Historically, Barack runs for office and then starts running for his next office after he’s elected. He’s not accustomed to carrying out the job till the end. He was in the Senate a year and running for president the rest of the time. He’s accustomed to looking for his next job once he secures his last job. Now there’s nowhere to go. He’s got to do four years of this and I don’t imagine being president allows for a lot of down moments, really. It’s a hundred things at once and fifty of them are serious. remember he said he’s not very organized? Well that’s the key. No organization, and you are pooped. He’s also not accustomed to making major decisions that impact the world. And there’s no “next job” to work on. Unless he plans on being Pope. Being elected president is one thing. I don’t think being president is something very many people can do well. And you had best have a LOT of energy and be able to think on your feet.

    P4P,

    Let’s face it, when Bush was in office and Tony Blair visited, the PM would have been thrilled with anything his master handed him. But I do agree that President Bush was never crass when it came to gifts (although I do seem to remember the occasional protocol breech and “Bushism” being bandied about).

  17. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 9:06 AM said:

    Somebody needs to let that guy smoke. No kidding. You know smokers. Without that cig they get very confused, edgy and preoccupied. It’s not good for the health of America to be badgering him about his habit.

    Uppity,

    Barack’s next job? Head of the North American Union. Next, he’ll run for head of the Global Union. After that, he’s stuck with running for President of the Solar System.

  19. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 9:11 AM said:

    GG, I stopped worrying about that because, while they might have dreams, this country will never go down quietly. The miitary is sworn to uphold the constitution and therefore they will stand down. I’m not kidding here. These people are about freedom. They are willing to die for it. And this country is armed to the teeth. They might want to pass laws to remove all guns but they aren’t going to do it easily. WHen America’s freedom is REALLY under threat, you will see exactly the stuff this country is made of. There will be a civil war if necessary. As there was once before for good reason. Once people understand freedom they do not give it up easily.

    Even FDR, who was a very competant man, was unable to turn America into a socialist being, much as he tried. And Obama is no FDR. FDR did manage to sneak some helpful things in there though. Like social security. I am hoping that, while turning American in the United Socialist States of America will ultimately fail, some good things will come of it. Such as health care reform–hopefully the right way.

  20. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 9:17 AM said:

    Oh and one more thing. As for the humongous debt Obama is building up, all his worshippers will be paying for it for the rest of their socialism-dreaming lives. They just became their own worst enemies. I think that they will wake up in ten years and scream WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!!!? I find that Karma rather fun, to be honest.

  21. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 9:20 AM said:

    Re: Bush’s poodle, Tony Blair. Blair has himself a huge job on wall street, you know.

    Bush knew he could get UK to go over to Iraq and die. That was worth a bit more than a model helicopter. When you shun your friends, nobody circles your wagons when you need them to. This was a horrible mistake that will resonate through Europe for a long time to come.

  22. Grail Guardian, on March 8, 2009 at 9:24 AM said:

    Uppity,

    I agree that we won’t go quietly, but what few people understand is that the last civil war was not about uniting a splitting nation, but about Lincoln invading a sovereign country. The Confederate States had formally seceded from the Union, and Lincoln literally invaded another nation. Sure, it worked out well for us, but in reality it was not so much about freeing the slaves as forcing a group of people to accept the views of another group. Really not that different than what’s going on now, although I doubt the outcome of the next civil war will be the same.

    As far as health care reform, I do not believe that Obama or anyone in his administration is on the right page with that one. Any changes he signs on the dotted line for will be strictly to benefit Big Pharma, Big Insurance, and the medical industry. Don’t forget he managed to slide the clause about his oversight committee into the “Stimulus” bill so that your doctor will soon not be able to give you treatment that Big Brother hasn’t approved. How much do you want to bet that Tom Daschle gets appointed to head that committee?

    Sorry to be a downer, but I haven’t seen any bright side from the Obama camp yet. I am, however, encouraged by the strength of resolve that the PUMA movement has developed, along with many other Centrists, and the sovereignty laws being passed by many individual states. My greatest hope is that enough Americans are waking up to stop the travesty calling itself our government before it is too late.

    So very true. So very sad.

  24. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 9:50 AM said:

    GG, it won’t come to something as heady as civil war. We are already seeing Democratic congress people pushing back because their districts are infuriated. In the end, they all care about reelection. Many of the elected people in congress represent moderate districts taht will not stand for seeing them go along with removing democracy from America. It just won’t happen. They aren’t that stupid. As you know, they did NOT have the votes in the house to pass the budget and had to put a stopgap thing in place. This is the beginning. Very late, but the begging nonetheless. Being a Democrat is one thing. Being a left cliffer is quite another. This is why you are seeing them not have enough votes amongst their own right now. The districts are going wild over this. Remember, most of these congress people cannot win in centrist districts without independents and moderate democrats. They are not innoculated just because Obama won the election. In the meantime, they know that the Republicans are circling them in the water so they are pushing back with some practicality–proving that sometimes the people DO have some power.

    I think health care reform will result in private insurers lowering their premiums to compete. Once everyone can cross state lines to get insurance, their hold on some states will be over and they will have to get with it. Right now, it’s a stockholder game for them and any reform that offers an affordable option endangers their greedy little butts. I already see Excellus, blue cross offering options for people who have no insurance and are making low middle class wages, and they aren’t including people’s homes and savings as a blocker. So I think some good will come and yes, insurers will remain intact, but their prices will go down. And that’s a good thing. Right now the states are held hostage by this lobby.

    Yesterday I went to a birthday party for my sister’s 11 year old (in Maryland) we some how got talking about the economy/BHO. Everyone voted for BHO except one person I am certain did not and myself. Okay the kids were running all over the yard like wild animals, it was 68 here yesterday, amazing. The BHO voters know that he is “going to fix it” and that is why the voted for him. when asked about the Trillions and Billions… they are clueless, they just know that it is “going to take a long time for BO to ‘fix it’” No heavy debating going on but I was ready to pull all of my hair out

    During the primaries when Hillary aired the famous, “3am call” commercial, I assumed she was referring to his lack of experience handling a crisis. Maybe she literally meant he couldn’t handle late night work! (Obama needs to go ni-ni and get his westipoo) What a wimp! It’s really too bad someone didn’t steer Obama into an acting career instead of politics. Then he could have “played” a president, king or even the first AA Pope without actually having to do the job.

She has a good sense of humor… I must admit that when she said “We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?”, I laughed out loud. I mean, seriously, her staff really let her down on this one. I can only assume it’s someone BO vetted for her….

    Q. Did you happen to see this one, too? (found over at the Confluence last night also from – U. K.’s Daily Telegraph quoted):

    “…The real views of many in Obama administration were laid bare by a State Department official involved in planning the Brown visit, who reacted with fury when questioned by The Sunday Telegraph about why the event was so low-key.

    The official dismissed any notion of the special relationship, saying:

    “There’s nothing special about Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment.”

    The apparent lack of attention to detail by the Obama administration is indicative of what many believe to be Mr Obama’s determination to do too much too quickly….”

    Q. Quote from a State Dept. official just appointed by Obama?

  38. Uppity Woman, on March 8, 2009 at 11:46 AM said:

    Yes that’s in the article, Liberty. But I didn’t touch it because the Telegraph is not exactly the best source for information. They are more of a rag sheet and when they don’t give me sources, I kind of treat it with a grain. Not that I wouldn’t put it past some of these people. I mean when I saw that the RESET word was mistranslated, I knew then and there we have sine completely inept people on staff. Some child looked up the word and took the first source as gospel. Why work too hard when you think you are entitled to a trophy just for showing up.

    Saw on Fox this am, Obama to start talks with more moderate arms of the Taliban.

    So these more moderate arms, they close the girls’ schools, but let them live (not heard or seen)? They cover them, but don’t throw acid? They “correct” but not disfigure? They only kill you if you deserve it? OMG.

    UW, if you keep going back to what Bush and Blair did, I’m going to have to start defending them. And I don’t even want to do that now.

    I was thinking of another Bush Admin punching bag. Remeber how the media went crazy over Rumsfeld’s “Old Europe” comment and how ‘offensive’ it was? How offensive is it that someone in the White House speaking on behalf of the president says that Britain is like the other 190 countries in the UN?

    A real gift would have been giving Brown the birth certificate from Kenya that proves Obama is a citizen of the British Empire followed by his resignation. Talk about strengthening relations

  41. Star, on March 8, 2009 at 11:54 AM said:

    First of all–there is supposed to be a Protocol person, usually an older woman in pearls, who researches all these gifts and the way things are handled. There should have been a press conference. The One should not have made it WIDELY known he didn’t even watch Brown’s address to our Congress (another slap). Bush didn’t give many state dinners and this probably didn’t warrant one, but the rest was disgraceful. Remember how were were supposed to be so proud of our president again?

    Junior also said he wasn’t losing sleep over the economy (he leaves that to us, I guess). So why is he so tired? Indigestion from the super beef and lobster?

    Uppity, Thanks for letting me know about the Telegraph and its sources. Henceforth, will treat unattributed quotes from them with a grain of salt (same could be said about many MSM sources these days).

    On the other hand, if a veritable child at the State Dept. is allowed to come up with, and take credit for the “reset” button (sans a Russian syllable), then isn’t possible they also have a dufus dumb enough to say that about the U.S. – Britain relationship? Could it be the same young/dumb Obama appointee?

    I hope, for her sake (and ours) that Hillary would have not appointed them at State.

    Dang P4, if you keep bring up these people, you can’t expect me to let it go by. You know I don’t like either party so I have no problem not cutting any jerks some slack. You won’t see me defending Rumsfeld. His aspartame trick and his presence on the board of the swiss company that sold two nuclear reactors to N. Korea is enough to tell me what he is. No, he was not a good deal for America. That doesn’t go away just because we have replaced one example o f idiocy with another. In short, we had a horrendous president when it came to domestic policy. Now we have a horrendous president when it comes to foreign policy. It would be nice to have a president who could walk and chew gum at the same time and focus on both, like he or she is SUPPOSED to do.

Young folks who are hanging out at home don’t feel squat, which is why 56percent still at least “somewhat” approve of him. That will change when mom and dad stop paying for the car lease and insurance, the cell phones etc. and start asking for monthly rent.

    The UN says its okay to sell nuclear reactors to N. Korea, so the whole system is broken. When I think about the kind of man Rumsfeld is, I think about him going back into the Pentagon on 9/11 to help rescue people from the building.

    After I left my very angry comments, above, in the wee hours, about how Mr. and Mrs. 0 have disgraced us before the whole world, I gave the matter of the snub to the Browns a lot more thought. My conclusion, also posted a deadenders, reads as follows:

    I thought about the Gordon Brown episode overnight. I conclude it was not accidental nor due to inexperience.

    In addition to the shameful “gifts,” meant to belittle the recipient, there was no state dinner to honor Brown, and the British PM was not asked to address Congress–or anyone else that I know of, for that matter.

    Th snub was intentional and will be repeated with our other European allies in order to further the Muslim agenda of destroying Western civilization. Mr. and Mrs. 0 intend to isolate America in the world from its traditional allies.

    As for Mrs. 0 returning the bust of Churchill, I think that was done on behalf of Farrakhan and her other Muslim brethren because Churchill was a Zionist.

    I think kids in the US do have much too high self esteem for their ability. William Bennet (the kid’s collegue) used to talk about this survey where American kids were below 10th place in international testing but were #1 in terms of their opnion of their intelligence.

    Uppity,

    Normally I’d agree with your answer to Mary about the significance of silly dates, but when it come to the end of the Mayan calendar there’s a bit more to it (these were some seriously excellent astronomers). If you’re familiar with the concept of precession of the equinox, then you should know that the Earth tilts up to 23.5 degrees on its axis (the reason we have seasons), and the angle is currently at… you guessed it! 23.5 degrees. There is a possibility that the Mayan calendar was based on the reversal of the Earth’s tilt, but we aren’t quite as advanced as they were – our scientists don’t have any idea when the planet will start to wobble in the opposite direction. Educated guess by those willing to venture one? Around 2012 -2015.

    2. What GG said.
    3. GG, FF, vbonnaire,
    In a stellar article on plate tectonics maybe 20 years ago, National Geographic noted the Earth’s polarity has shifted many times throughout history, so further shifts are very likely to occur. But what, if anything, this–or any other doomsday prophecy–has to do with the part of the galaxy in which the sun rises I have no idea. The scientists in the Mayan Doomsday (12/21/12) documentary on the History Channel did not seem to have any specific idea, either. I’m just going to wait with GG, FF and see what happens.
