I copped the first video below from John W Smart.
Barack was an Epic Fail on his trip. Mostly his pursuit of Adoration was an Epic Fail.
They don’t respect him anywhere. A President is supposed to be respected. This is not a Frat House.
When you stick your ass in the air and bow, you do not garner respect. When you insult your own country day and night, you do not garner respect nor do you indicate that you have any strength as a human being. He looks like a bumbler instead.
When you have to escape your own country because you are addicted to Self-Worship and are looking for Adoration, and then you don’t get it, it’s time to come home and face reality.
Back Atcha, Barack.
This isn’t about stupid people not Getting How Wonderful You Are. It’s not about Communication either. Or “persuasion”. He can’t “persuade” us because we don’t like him, we don’t believe him, we keep a running list of his failed promises, which we knew were bullshit when he made them. “Just words”. America doesn’t like his policies and they don’t like his Big Cheese attitude. This is Real Life and he hasn’t got a clue because his personality is detached from reality. Ditto for the adolescents he has surrounded himself with.
The people who dragged Barack Obama’s butt over the line to the nomination blew it for America and they know it. They even had to pull delegates out of their asses to do it. That should have been their own tip-off. So Barack needs to go party and waste some more of our money. Play golf. Redecorate. Start an Arugula Club. Whatever. But for God’s sakes, it’s time to allow some competent adultsto run this country. He would do us and himself a huge favor by setting his sites on his next job like he’s always done, because the only job he’s ever actually done well was campaign for his next step up. His history proves this even if his formerly worshipping press covered for him. I think Barack should try for Pope this time. Whatever. But somebody needs to force him to stop destroying America’s economy, morale and image.
The morale of this country is Jimmy Carter redux, and that is sickening. And it’s Barack Obama who is making it happen every time he opens his mouth. It’s time to start focusing on America not Barack’s ego. We are sick of hearing “I” and “Me” and we are even more sick of the focus being on Him.
Like John said,
You communicated, Barry. Loud and clear. Not a day went by without a message from your highness. Communication is not the problem. You are.
(Cadence-impaired Wolf Blitzer appearance. Also, Cafferty Gas Pocket Warning) below. As If any of this is a great revelation and plenty of us didn’t Get It in 2008. Guys like Cafferty bear much of the blame for this inept President:
Never has this 2008 ad been more relevant. It was funny back then. Now it’s downright dangerous and scary.

"This is not culture. This is not custom. This is criminal."
Hillary was very, very diplomatic. Obama could never pull a Clinton. IMHO He’s not smart enough and he doesn’t care enough. Clinton was and is razor sharp brilliant (I could never understand the fascination with the Lewinski situation) and he was respected in the world. As your post indicates, Obama was and is a prima donna, a diva.
That Team Hillary video is excellent. Many of those people are certainly guilty of cheer-leading for the inept bastard from hell.
I still get email from an old friend who still supports him. The latest said he thinks poor obama lost some of his glitter star power because the left started to unduly criticize their best evah leader. I answered that the left took way too long to hold his feet to the fire and that now they should be on the white house lawn screaming that they were all duped by this fraud.
He blames the left for not waving their pom-poms anymore. Unreal. He is not an ignorant person. He just must have had a double dose of kookaid.
But the comment of the week has to go to a woman I work with. We were near a TV set and there was a still pic of Hillary on. It wasn’t flattering but it wasn’t a bad pic – to me she just looked over worked and tired, which to me meant she was still doing her job to her utmost ability, as always.
This woman turned to her friend standing next to her and said she was so glad Hillary didn’t win the primary since we’d have to look at that old hags face everyday and the other woman agreed and then they both cackled nasty remarks about how Hillary looks. There are hundreds of people where I work but I am pretty sure they knew I gave Hillary my full support so the comments were partly made because I was there and they wanted me to know they still have nothing but hatred for Hill. I wanted to say something but instead I totally ignored them as we continued to watch the TV images karma paid off – there was a radiant Hillary picture on the big screen TV and they both were standing there looking at it and then they both pretended they didn’t notice and looked away. I just smirked. Women like that are their own worst enemies.
HT – yep. Scarborough, among others, called Hillary “scary smart” and it was so clear during the debates who the truly brilliant person was up there. 7 men and one woman and she stood out more for her competence and intelligence than she did for her gender difference. In a black pantsuit or a golden gown she towered above them all. And she still does.
Wow – what a compilation of “Duh!” on that video.
Asshats.
We knew better. In 2007.
Great piece Uppity. Great Piece.
karen, I was actually referring to Bill in my comment. Funny thing, he’s a Rhodes Scholar, his past is a matter of record. Hillary in my opinion is much smarter than her husband, so your comment is so true – she is scary smart! And Hillary is respected in the world – it must drive BO crazy to know that both of the people that he appears to consider he has to beat, leave him grappling in their jet stream.
And just to add, karen I don’t know how you put up with that kind of crapola from other women. Golda Meir, Indira Ghandi, Angela Merkel, Margaret Thatcher (geez I hated to mention her but at one time she was a huge power broker), Sonia Ghandi, Benazir Bhutto, Eva Peron, Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton – and I could go on and on – all powerful women, all older and yet each of them beautiful in their own way, and powerful despite the petty reluctance of other women to recognize their power and beauty.
Kin I haz a Thanksgivink header?
Love, Bill.
Uppity, just finished reading and watching the videos.
Forgive me, but watching all of those commentators is like returning to the vomit they were when they were espousing him – until the last few months.
They were all either too stupid, sold out or mentally ill to listen to them back then – so listening to them now is like rewarding them for doing more damage to this country than Obama could have ever done, had it not been for them.
Karen, this is why they had to destroy her.
“Kin I haz a Thanksgivink header?”
Yes Bill. Sometime in the next 36 hours.
What I found amazing in the vid was the comment: Obama has lost his ability to lead.
What ability? Where was the evidence that an unstellar Senator with no record of accomplishment on the national or state-level stage had leadership potential???
Nada.
And now the so-called “press” is astonished, surprised and/or wondering where all the love went? It makes me want to gag reading and listening to some of these people, the very same who swooned in the Obamalight in 2008. They were so convinced of their rightness. They knew better than the electorate.
As for Hillary’s comments? She is one smart cookie.
FF, Bill just walked away and swished his tail and mumbed, “I knew that”.
They’ve all rendered themselves irrelevant now, Her. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.
Your expose is far better than anything any of them had to offer – but the videos were the perfect accompaniment, I must say.
God, I hated Hillary being put on the spot – being set up for damned if she doesn’t and hang her with it if she does ultimately decide that the only conscious, moral choice is to run.
I haven’t seen her stumble and stutter like that since she was repeatedly being asked if she would accept being his running mate, if offered, in June 2008.
HT, I wrote too soon and read your comment too fast.
They both should make their detractors mute with all that they’ve done to better this world but as Up said, they had to destroy her for it. They couldn’t let that woman win since she would have made them all tow the line.
Bill and Hill are so well suited for each other. And yeah Bill and Chelsea agreed that Hillary would have been even better than her spouse. We wuz robbed.
Oh noes, it’s Thanksgiving time down there. Do we get the cornucopia and Turkey, or do we get Bill in turkey feathers? Looking forward to either one.
Karen you’re right – worse than that, having a woman as president would not only have been normalized, but it’s a good possibility that advances in women’s roles in government leadership and women’s rights would have been substantial and – advantage women – for a long, long time to come.
That’s a significant piece to the obstruction/destruction of Hill Clinton, imo. The bone they threw her as SOS, she can retire with dignity and an “acceptable” and “containable” legacy for both herself and those that would identify with her potential.
Hillary was diplomatic. Carville was clear.
Blitzer is an idiot.
We are all screwed.
karen, it’s always amazed me about the reaction to women in politics. Both men and women attack – why? Because their moms’ made them eat vegetables and insisted on manners? What is it? Women are the backbone of the world. Men run around attacking other nations, amassing power and obscene amounts of money that they hoard to themselves. Most Women stay, work to support the family (and that includes their own and the family of humanity) and raise the cannon fodder, all the while balancing the budget, organizing events, taking care of bills, taking care of the seniors etc. etc. Who better to run a country – a hoarder who doesn’t give a flying fig about others, or someone who has gone through the trenches, has helped others their entire lifetime, and who will make you eat your vegetables, even if you don’t want to. (Sorry Mom, still won’t eat Okra – it’s a slime thing)
It’s because humans are the only species where the female actually gives birth to her own oppressors and then trains them in the art of oppression.
OT – DISHONOR TO CONGRESS?!?!?!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Rangel Violated Numerous House Ethics Rules, Panel Finds
A House ethics panel has found that Representative Charles B.
Rangel committed multiple ethical violations. He had been
accused of bringing dishonor to Congress by accepting
rent-stabilized apartments from a Manhattan developer,
failing to pay taxes on a rental income from his Dominican
villa and raising charitable donations from companies and
corporate executives who had business before the committee he
led.
NYT
Her, the problem with the SOS ‘bone” is she shows up Obama every single day and exacerbates the visual of what a fool he is.
HT: “Okra… it’s the slim thing”
I hear you, but I couldn’t live without my okra, tomatoes, onion – with a whole lot of other fresh vegetables “stew” – with sweet cornbread. I just couldn’t. For most, it’s the whole Okra – so cutting it up is my remedy – so a stew is the perfect solution for that okra flavor, which I dearly love.
Uppity, ooooooh! Now that’s one hell of a profound statement!
Now, THAT’S RICH!
Okra is definitely never on my shopping list. So you can have mine.
her, I’ll have to try that. I’ve had this visceral dislike for okra since the first, second and third time. After that, I gave up, however, if you can put up a recipe in the Poverty tab, I will subsume my gag reaction and try it. I hated ratitouillle the first time, but grew to love it, so there’s always hope – ah sheite, there’s that word again, sorry it slipped out.
The only time I ever ate Okra that I liked was deep fried. But then you can deep fry a shoelace and it will taste good. Especially if you dip it in cocktail sauce.
Hillary is magnificent in the SOS job, overqualified for his administration, but magnificent in how manages to compensate for him. She’s simply brilliant at staying the course and leaving her dictators in the dust.
You’re right again, Uppity.
lmao on the cocktail sauce! How elite of you! That would be dipped in “Ketchup” in the South, ya know!
“dictrators” or dictators – same difference.
Uppity, in my pre-BP days, when I used to eat boiled shrimp and raw oysters, the most fun part was to see how much horseradish I could take in my sauce! Seriously!
My friends loved the game, too, when we were out for seafood – which one likened to the old days of doing shots of tequila, while standing on her head! lol!
Oh my – I have to get to a project. I’ll check back in when I get home – late this evening.
Have a great day!
(Uppity, do you check your “junkmail email addy” ?)
The phasing of Bill’s plea for a Thanksgiving header for some reason made me think of Looney Tunes once again. Then I recalled their version of Jack and Beanstalk where Daffy ends up being serving as a watch for the giant .
It would seem that world leaders see Ferdinand as a small little toy used as the hands on the watch worn by his puppeteer.
Hillary, like Bugs, outsmarts them all.
Don’t make fun of seafood sauce – it’s a permanent resident in my fridge. I remember vividly when I travelled to New Orleans (several times) in my youth. Loved it and understand why Fredster wants to get back. I can still in my thoughts remember the seafood, sitting in the French Quarter and scarfing down shrimp and oysters. I don’t suppose that’s happening today – honestly who would want to eat seafood out of the gulf? However, I always had seafood sauce at my elbow then, and I do today.
Bring the horseradish on. My father and I often had hot pepper eating contests to see which one of us would break a sweat first.
But for the pantameter, this could be a reality haiku.
Hey HT, we might even throw in a canadian goose in the header.
Translation: She was eating again and wasn’t paying attention.
Nooooo, not a Canadian goose!, They are beautiful to look at, but they are menaces. They reproduce like bunnies, sheite everywhere are are destructive (I still love them, but less of them would be good) Are they even edible? I wouldn’t know, they’re protected up here.
That should be “and are destructive” but I’m exhausted from insomnia so about midday I get really stupid. Mea Culpa.
Here is another one. As you know the many paper problems of the banks led to foreclosure defenses. So the wonderful Dem’s and Obama have manufactured a report stating that if something is not done the poor banks will lose too much money. So they are going to pass a bill legitimizing all those errors and eliminating the foreclosure defenses. And these are the people on our side.

Well Green, they are, after all, his sponsors.
HT, they also enjoy flying into airplane engines.
and this is from Echidne of the Snakes, another blog I love:
Third, New York City is considering legislation which would require “truth in advertising” from the so-called crisis pregnancy centers:
The legislation being considered in New York City is really quite simple: if passed, it would merely require CPCs to disclose what they do, so women are aware of what they’re getting into when they visit one of the centers. Women will know that the center they’re visiting does not provide abortion services or referrals and that they will, in fact, be advised against getting an abortion. So-called “truth-in-advertising” measures aimed at CPCs have already been passed in Baltimore and are under consideration in Austin and Washington state.
Obama’s top contributors.

I also see mention of Emily’s List as a big bundler. Gee, it’s great to know they are still in the business of promoting female candidates…
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought Hillary stumbled a little on that question on whether Obama could lead. LOL! I believe she said “just like he does now”, which he doesn’t. She is just so great, sometimes I am more amazed than usual.
Well so far today, while watching Fox, I’ve seen a full speech by GWB and now Obama….what are they trying to do kill me today??
confloyd, if you’re close to collecting on SS, yes, they’re trying to kill you and surprise, you get a twofer – two, two, two minds in one, or was that mints?
LOL Confloyd you really need to stay away from the Tee Vee during Bush Book week.
I think Hillary was controlling her laughter in that video.
Fried okra w/ranch dressing – um umm UMMMMMMM!
…..which proves my theory that you can deep fry anything and put some sauce or dip on it and it will taste good.
I guess i don’t like things that only taste good if I have to fry them or bury them in things. If I can’t eat it raw, I probably don’t want it cooked. Beets might be an exception.
Uppity, I bet I could make you an okra dish (Indian style) that you’d like.
okra {shudder} nope- not me- one of the few vegetables I absolutely detest. My husband- having grown up down south- thinks it is great- he is welcome to my share.
Ahhh, PMM, you don’t know what you’re missing.
Say, you wouldn’t happen to have Aunt Upps’ bread recipe handy, would ya? (I tried to get it off of the recipe tab, but there’re over 250 comments under that tab.)
LOL NES- as a matter of fact- I DO know what I am missing- yuck. Okra is not my friend. More for you folks who like it!
As for UW’s bread recipe- I had the same problem – it took me forever to find it when I went looking- let me see if I saved it brb
NES- hope this helps- scroll down in the comments in the poverty recipe tab to Jan 7 2010 at 1:35 am
I love scrolling through that tab! So many good recipes!
PMMom, you and Uppity have really helped me to believe I’m not crazy. Okra is not, and will never be in my kitchen.
Hillary was always the smartest person running for the presidency. – and I mean that most sincerely.
Anyone know of the smartest person working on a cure for insomnia? I’m being facetious here, but I really would like a good night’s sleep – and BTW, I’m allergic to most drugs – they either don’t work, or they attempt to kill me. the sleeping drugs don’t work. I drink a quart of milk at night – and that does help I get two hours out of that but then I’m back awake. I watch so many bad movies, I should be a critic. Sorry for complaining.
Socal, if you’re around, how is your Dad? Haven’t heard from you for the past couple of days. Is there anything any of us could do to help?.
insomnia- hmm- I would cut the quart of milk down to a glass- too much natural sugar in the milk can keep you up.
Chamomile? A lavender pillow? A warm bath with soothing aromatherapy? I too have allergies to many things- I had a bout with insomnia a few years back that was horrible- I was still working then and could not sleep- it went on for almost a month. My boss finally gave me two days in a row off- and a bottle of wine.
HT — Take a hot bath and then get into bed and read until your lids close. TV is no good.
PMM, thank you for your response. I never drank milk until I encountered this problem. A glass does nothing for me. I think I’m a freak of nature. Camomile tea I could drink by the gallon – nothing. I guess I will just be one of those people who are crazy while knowing they are crazy.
NOES, Thank you for your response, but I don’t have cable – I’m an aerial girl, and quite honestly after 9PM, the tv goes off as does the internet until I can’t sleep, whcih is most nights. I do the hot baths, the aromatic teas but none of it works. Perhaps I was never intended to sleep more than two hours at a stretch. Who knows. I would like just one night where I slept more than 5 uninteruppted hours in a row. That would be my wish for a Xmas present. P.S. the bad movies are all DVDs that I turn to at night, to try to lull me into sleep.
Bingo PMM! Got the bread recipe, exactly where your coordinates pointed. You are, indeed, the bestest ferreter of them all.
Agree on reading vs. Tee Vee before bed. seriously.
And, better than reading is ‘eating ribs.” HT, ya listening?
Yes I am not only listening, I am experienced.
HT it has to be tea with valerian root in it. They didn’t name Valium after it for nothing.
….and dump some brandy in it. lol.
Noes, ribs only work if ya has company, and I haven’t for the last 20 years, and frankly, Uppity is fortunate that she has Mr Upps – a companion who is truly a person who is in tune with their partner. La has the same with her Penny. I wish I had the same, but alas, I was not gifted with either the companion gene or the sleeping gene.
Uppity, I read a book every day, and while I sleep for an hour or two afterward, it’s intermittent sleep. As a matter of fact, I’m getting to the point that I can’t afford my reading habit anymore. Fortunately, my friend and neighbor’s son has a second hand book store. I watched him in his diapers, and am even more in love with him 36 years later (even though he has conservative leanings). No one is perfect right.
Upps, YOU ARE the rib-eater of all time.
Not true, HT.
Aunt Upps and I also swear by ‘eating ribs’ alone. (The evidence as to Aunt Upps’ predilection in this respect is buried in the thread archives.)
Re Okra and Indian food. Alas, I have to confess, I am not a fan of Indian food. I am NOT fond of curry. I suppose it’s a flaw in my personality.
Say it ain’t so, Upps. Oh well, I guess you’ll have to be demoted from mega-to-the-power-of-100 fabulous to mega-to-the-power-of-99.99 fabulous. (I’m going to take a pill now.)
What a hoot, I’m watching Steven Segal movies, which are usually guaranteed to give me an hour or tow sleepytime, and I never noticed before Randy Travis, the King of country. What a hoot! Kris Kristopherson is the big baddie. Hilarious But it doesn’t put me to sleep. I think I’ll watch Spiderwicke next. Goblins oh my.
Okay, I’m gonna try to catch some zzz’s. I leave you with this song, which I have always looked on as a feminist song – forget the male female connection – female to female, this works!
NES, I just knew I would go down at least a tenth of a point in your esteem but no sense of hiding it.
Ribs are good ANY time. You don’t need company to enjoy good ribs.
NFW on “go[ing] down…in [my] esteem”, UW. That would never happen.
I was just kidding. Food is like
Sexribs — primally particular to each individual. Happy to share the rest of the culinary universe with you.Shazbut, I forgot about all our male Uppityites. This is for you too.
HT, no wonder you can’t sleep. Hanging out at UW’s is too stimulating for those seeking immediate zzzzzzzs.
Sorry for the duplication. Uppity, get Bill to delete one of them. I’m really going to try to sleep, although I’m watching this really horrid Segal movie right now.
[...] SORRY: Nice advice, but we don’t think Barack is capable of it …. [...]
