Heaving bosoms at the Associated Press;
Washington pulsed with anticipation of Obama’s swearing in as the nation’s first black president. The city was aflutter with preparations for four days of parties and pomp, shadowed at every turn by layer upon layer of security.

Yeah, and I just read your link, and heaved, too… 😉
It is remarkable how heavily Obama is focused on the media, on his image within the media, on his control of the media, on his presentation of Himself to the public within this media.
As I said, he reminds me, in a larger scale, of our own narcissistic Jean Chretien, who has a similar self-absorbed focus, a similar singular agenda of obtaining and retaining personal power.
Remember Chretien’s response to Mad Cow disease? He had a photo of Himself taken eating beef. His response to SARS? Had the entire cabinet flown, at great expense, to Toronto, for a photo of them all, alive and smiling, in Toronto.
Even Ronald Reagan, with a long career in the films, wasn’t as focused on the portrayal, the Act, the Role in the Public Eye, as is Obama. Indeed, I wonder if Obama is even aware of reality, or does he walk always within a fictional narrative of his own creation?
Is the public, who are watching this film, directed by and staring Obama Himself, are they aware that they are living in a fictional world?
“Heaving bosoms at the Associated Press”
Bernard Golberg astutely refers to American MSM as “slobbering” in regards to their Obama love-in.
That would be BERNARD GOLDBERG.
The Left is up to it’s usual fantasy that Obama will be the savior of all things. We will soon all be happy, peaceful, prosperous.
Four years from now he will be as unpopular as G W Bush. He has inherited a shit sandwich that only time will cure. Four years ain’t enough time for this mess. And all the government ‘help’ is making it worse by the minute.
Our enemies don’t care about the Obama. They still hate us and see Obama’s tenure as an opportunity to make gains.
When President George W. Bush was inaugurated, the cost was $40million. The msm went balistic over the cost of the event.
Obama’s inauguration will cost $120million. Not a word about the cost from the msm.
Thanks for that figure Paul M. That was my question on reading Kate’s headline: How much is this going to COST?
My next comment was going to be, how come the MSM aren’t going ballistic about it, when the economy’s in a … ahem … downturn?
BARAK BLING = BIG BUCKS, ALRIGHT. BUT WHO’S COUNTING?
My blood pressure’s going to be soaring for the next four years … or at least until reality bites and the MSM reports it.
Mother,Mary,and Joseph. You would think it was the second coming.Thank God for the Space/A&E/National Geo channels!!
Kate….is there any way to train dogs to sniff out commies/socialists/leftards as opposed to conservatives? We are going to need a shit load of them on our southern border in about a year as 10% of the Yanks try to get into Canada. We want the conservatives,not the others.
Oh my goodness, I’m not the only one to notice.
I am at a hotel, the Airport Hilton, in Toronto, and the TV in the bar has CNN; fortunately no sound.
But you can see everyone drooling. Here comes the Messiah’s train. Look, what a compassionate and man-of-the-people he is, wanting to shake everyone’s hand (Hey, reality check: He’s a politician; they shake every hand in sight).
Here is the magnificent sweep of the One’s Progress to Assension.
The CNN people want to sevice his private parts.
The Ubermessiah’s team is very good at planning symbolic situational events. We will wait to see how it works out.
I still can’t get over the fact that this man, although his skin is brown, is not of an African-American heritage; no slaves in his familly, unl;ess they were slaves to Arab slave owners.
It’s all about skin colour.
Hopefully, this crap will be over after Tuesday; heaven forbid it last 8 years.
Sheilagh Rogers was talkign about BHO on CBC Radio this afternoon and sounded like she was on her knees with her mouth open.
Spike Lee doesn’t call it Washington anymore. It is now Chocolate Town.
The crash of reality is going to be very, very harsh on all these dreamers and panderers, when their “HOPE” becomes “NOPE” and The One becomes the “DOPE”.
Shouldn’t take too long . . . he has surrounded himself with an unusually inept group of socialists, wannbe internationalists, naive global diplomats and acolytes of the Church if Climate Scientology. He believes that the Government can “create jobs and wealth” and that health care can be delivered and paid for by Executive Orders.
The USA will survive but this administration is going to inflict a huge amount of economic and moral pain before it is flushed down the historical toilet.
I can’t wait for him to give a speech about why he should be able to vote “Present” and having the ass-kissing MSM and White House Press Corp support him.
Did anyone else happen to see the other “O”…Opray on Friday coo-cooing and counting the seconds until her bud Barrack is Prez. He brings such hope to America they said. Barf.
10 million people expected in Washington they claimed on that show with 5000 portapotties ordered…and they know it won’t be enough.
A thirty-some page list of events being held. Unbelievable.
No mention of fairy farts, unicorns or rainbows however.
I’d love to agree with you Fred but I think the loons won’t give up on their man as quickly as we might hope. Think back to the rabid feminists and Billy as Bobbed by Lewinsky. Nary a peep about the ‘sexual harassment’ that was so evident and so evil should any other mere mortal man be so serviced. What mattered wasn’t the action it was the fact that he was on the leftist/feminist side.

“The crash of reality is going to be very, very harsh on all these dreamers and panderers, when their “HOPE” becomes “NOPE” and The One becomes the “DOPE”.”
You aren’t suggesting that “Hope and Change” might be come “Mope and Mange”.
Bunch of Obamite cheerleaders. Just like all those brainless Britney-worshippers. And they get to report the “news”? Uh-oh…
I see…
And I just had to do one of those posts I do sometimes to sound off… really, really sound off… about something as bizarre as that. Somebody has to say strong, aggressive stuff about the Hard Left and its leadership to counter what they say about us normal folks, our moderate, non-Lefist leaders and the Free World as we know it. I guess sometimes I just wanna say, “Screw moderation… they want us to be timid and tame… like hell I will, as they sure aren’t!”
http://thecanadiansentinel.blogspot.com/2009/01/scary-obama-says-new-declaration-of.html
When I learn of Leftists planning to do stuff like that, I just have to say something…
I see he also invokes MLK… I wonder what he thinks of MLK’s standing with Israel? Will BHO stand with Israel, too, come Jan. 20th, or sit down and chat with Hamass over a spot o’ tea? What, will BHO pick and choose from the positions of MLK?
Also disturbing to me is the “act with a fierce urgency” declaration of B. Hussein Obama… sounds scary. You know, if a Republican or a Conservative said that… imagine what the Left would be saying about them!
The Crash of reality will not hit these people unless and until the man leaves office. We had Trudeaumania in 1968 and even after 16 years in office and untold damage to this country there are those , admit it, who still drool over his name, his time as PM and his children , surviving that is, who may take up the Trudeau mantle and sally forth in the name of Liberals everywhere in Canada.
Obama will be no different only on a larger and more sophisticated scale. Which will make the urge to lurch even more overwhelming.
Get set. This is only the beginning and it could be a very long time before anything close to reason returns to America in politics.
They are already preparing legislation to remove the 22 Amendment to allow Obama to serve more than two terms. Hopefully endless terms in their view.
Yep.
America is being taken.
She is going to get “drydocked” against her will.
Lady America has no one to turn to to file a “rape” complaint.
God am I glad to be Canadian right now!
Heh. No human could possibly deliver on the promises of hope & change that the Obamaessiah has promulgated, or at least, encouraged. There are going to be a whole lot of disappointed, and then angry, former “O” acolytes out there.
And as for the MSM, who have been humping Obama’s leg for the past year or so…I give it six months max before they turn on him with a vengeance…
May the games begin…
How about the full-page ad by HBO on the back page of the National Post? Doesn’t anybody remember that a few people voted for McCain?
I am waiting to hear if my son will have to watch some of this in his history class – I will be really pissed off.
there’s a good thread at Ace on the potential for barry-bots within communities
Well we’re moving on up…to the big time! Too bad our grandchildren will still be paying for it! Welcome back, Mr. Carter!
Angry White Dude
At least one Canadian media guy is noticing the nonsense. I don’t usually agree with den Tandt, but he’s looking for Gravol too.
http://www.torontosun.com/comment/columnists/michael_dentandt/2009/01/16/8041606-sun.html
The fawning coverage just doesn’t stop:
“It is not difficult to understand why so many Americans see Barack Obama as the second coming — of Abraham Lincoln, if not more.”
“The myriad comparisons between the two skinny, big-eared Illinoisans — Obama’s own fond description — are already entering the realm of modern legend.”
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/16/holzer.lincoln.obama/index.html
No cable – by choice. No newspapers – by choice. No web sites connected with the MSM. No problem with Obamasaturation.
Well, except for drowning out the car radio today with bellowed expletives at some giddy, gushing school-girl male reporter so enchanted with his front-row seat on the cusp of history that he proved it is possible to talk and fellate at the same time.
Sounds like Obama’s got his fingers stuck in his coat, between the buttons, y’know, a la Napoleon, and going, “I am Lincoln!”
Now we know why the Left got rid of the loony barns. They didn’t want their Messiah to be diverted for treatment! Or themselves, either! This is why there’s so much insanity all over America today, y’all see… the inmates are a-takin’ over…
Hmm… maybe Obama’s a Manchurian Candidate, not nuts… maybe he’s being controlled by Darth Soros and his mad doctors who completed his programming as a Leftist ‘droid? Of course, Darth Soros and the mad doctors would be the nutcases, and poor Barryo the victim, then… Still, is this guy fit to be President, rather than a poor puppet of scary baddies?
Dunno for sure. The guy’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma, dipped in a riddle and packaged in a joke that says “Probably not made in the USA”… it’s mind-boggling that Americans, of all the world’s peoples, elected this guy!
While the MSM Press is entrapped within the Obama narrative, there are some who are focused on the achievements on George W. Bush – and those achievements were remarkable.
Salim Mansur writes on this in the Toronto Sun, and refers to Bush’s enabling of democratic freedom to emerge in the Middle East.
Salim Mansur on Bush
He writes: “To believe in freedom, in any sense worthy of consideration, is to believe in setting other people free. This is to some extent within our power, and it is the greatest service we can render; even if it must be, at times, by the sacrifice of our own.”
Bush will be remembered long past the quarrels of his time in office, as is Truman, Reagan and the three “great” presidents in American history, for serving with courage and conviction the cause of freedom. ”
I fully agree; Bush is one of the great presdients in American History
Mansur writes: “But long after the critics of Bush have bitten dust and been forgotten, people will be talking about him, as they do about Truman, reflecting upon the consequences of his decision that brought freedom for 50 million people in the Arab-Muslim world. How these people build positively upon their freedom, or squander it, will be a commentary upon them and not Bush”.
Bringing freedom – that’s the legacy of Bush, and I think we will miss his decency and his focus, not on himself (in comparison to Obama’s narcissism) but on the well-being of others.
The Obama slobbering is all over CFRB radio in Toronto too – Bill Carrol is going to the inaugeration to bring eye witness account of this earth shattering moment. Cbc radio is panting and drooling all the time and busy collecting “49 songs from north of the 49th” to present to Obama – gag
Looks like more than just the city was aflutter. Hail our new Pharaoh
How these people build positively upon their freedom, or squander it, will be a commentary upon them and not Bush”. -ET
Agreed! Those who turn a great gift into self-destruction will only regress into the state they suffered pre-great-gift. And it’ll be their fault only.
Only 1463 days, 15 hours until he’s gone.

Speaking of a “new Declaration of Independence”, I’ve discovered something concrete about the Obama Left’s agenda:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=86324
President for life? Like Putin, Chavez et al.? They, too, are seeking to change their country’s constitutions so they can rule indefinitely.
More and more I look, the more and more it does seem that Obama is an extremist who seeks to rule like a dictator by changing the constitution to suit his agenda, whatever it is.
I just love reading all you nancy boys twisting your undies in to knots over Obama. Bahahahahahaha,…
Seriously, Bush screwed everything he touch, so Kate and all you URQ retards, STFU, you have absolutely no right to question or comment on anything any more. You guys have been so complete wrong for the last eight years, about everything, just STFU and let us adults fix the mess you made.
The thing is, anon-STFU, most of us here, unlike you, strongly believe in Freedom.
That’s political freedom, which means that we support democracy – because democracy means that government rests within the control of the people. And we support freedom of speech – because that means that we all have the right to question, examine, think and analyze and comment on anything we choose.
So, you may imperiously order us to ‘shut up’ but, sigh, we believe and operate in freedom. So, unlike you, we’ll continue to Think. That means that we’ll continue to question, examine and debate issues. Cheers.
Bush stood by his convictions
barry has non
Barry has chosen a lot of clinton retreads, more to the centre then his champagne rhetoric
this is probably to lull everyone so that he can subtly progress with his agenda, but will the back room boys allow him to proceed with his agenda
Sure ET, just like when we questioned Bush and his policies, you were there right along with questioning him and his asmiseriblstration right?
Don’t make me laugh, you support freedom of speach and rule of law right? Except when you were willing to sell your freedoms for the fake security daddy bush claimed to give you.
You have no moral or ethical right to question Obama, none. You and the rest of rightwing retreads here gave up those rights years ago when you never bother to question Bush or Republicans.
Bush screwed things up so bad it may be impossible for anyone to fix the clusterf*** he created.
You nancy boys are the worst joke on the face of planet now, maybe you should just do yourselves the favour and just STFU, or not,… It will be great watching you guys become American Haters for the next eight years, cause after all to question and hate the American President is to hate all things American, sorry your rules and we are holding you to them
Now STFU
Will you be watching the innauguration?
CTV wants to know!
http://www.ctv.ca/canada
You can vote too,Anon.
anon-STFU. No, we won’t shut up. Just because you, as Imperial Ruler, order us to do so, we won’t. Why not?
Because we, unlike you, are Free. And we, unlike you, THINK.
Oh, and we don’t talk to other people with such rudeness, such arrogance, such ‘wash your mouth out with soap’ language. I suggest you mature a bit in your interactions with others.
What silly remarks you make – of course Bush was questioned; haven’t you heard the debates in Congress? Haven’t you heard the debates on the MSM? In the newspapers? In the blogs? Where’ve you been?
Yes, we have the moral and ethical right to question Obama. Do you know why? Because we are free; and because we think.
Are you seriously trying to remove him from questions? Why? Don’t you have the right to question, to examine, to think about, to comment, on his policies? You don’t? You’ve removed Obama from questions? Why?
You say that ‘to question and hate the American president is to hate all things American’. Hmm. Doesn’t make sense. You are chastizing us for questioning Obama; it sounds like you are saying that IF we question Obama, then this means that we ‘hate all things American’. Heh. You’ve moved Obama out of the realm of accountability, out of the realm of questions. Why is that? That’s done only for dictators. Hmmm. Why are you setting him up as a dictator?
Again, Bush was one of the greatest American presidents – and his opening up the ME to democracy, will remain his gift to them. And to us.
Now, anon-STFU- you can wallow in your intense hatred of freedom and your rejection of thinking.
djb.
I see mention of the delectable Sheilagh Rogers apparently enamoured of Barack. Perhaps she can do a nude calender of herself for him. She was on a calender of “tastefully” nude mature ladies for some cause, or other previously.
Mansbridge pouring it on and others. Then there is Craig Oliver also. We learn that one of the reasons for the adulation of Barack Obama is because they (Americans) are so glad to be rid of George Bush.
We also hear the cliche that “Canadians” are absolutely enthralled with the new man in Washington.
To borrow a phrase, “they don’t speak for me”. All this does not bother me, I have been well prepared for crowd frenzy.
I seen Pierre.
Brava, ET!
don’t worry ET, you twits will be able masterbate all over Palin in 2012 and watch as Obama kcks her sorry neo-clown ass back to her moose f’in forest n Alasska.
Boy is this going to be fun eight years watching you morons sink lower and lower into your steaming mounds of sht
I’m a new poster here but I’ve been reading for awhile. I would like to suggest if you think Obama is the first black President of the US you should go to google and search “Black Presidents of the US”. Just see if you still think Obama should go down in history as the first Black President.
Let us look on the bright side of things. My good liberal spouse is of course watching much television. I try to tune it out. It goes on and on. Coming to an almost massive explosion of news and emotion. I am fine with this, having seen it all before.
I chuckled to watch Wolf Blitzer (CNN) lately. Always wondered what was in the man’s inner mind. I struggled to understand his dour expression and almost sphinx like visage. At one time I thought he might be an ill man. Struggling to conceal some nasty, but manageable malady.
Then I saw him yesterday, with two pundits. The man’s face seemed to be a lighter colour. He was actually smiling. The male pundit opposite him was virtually incoherent in a professional way. Blitzer looked like a kid who got off stealing a box of toffees.
The subject was Barack Obama.
We are going to have to witness the national love-it and group hug for the next 4 years.
wow – I think anon finally ruptured that bulging vein in his forehead..
While GWB was not an eloquent speaker like BO, at least his heart was in the right place. And ‘anon’, he didn’t ‘screw things up so bad that we may never recover’. That was the Clinton administration circa 1999 when it was determined that all people, regardless of race (and apparently income) were owed the ‘right’ to own a home as opposed to rent a home. Deals were done with lobbyists, banks freed up mortgage credit to ridiculous extremes and viola! Seven years later the bottom begins to drop out. It only takes one major crisis to spook market investors and that was the one that did it.
Search, read and learn anon. You will be a better person for it!
P.S. – see, I did all that without a cuss!
Does everyone forget the slow moving train passing the many mourners, slowly so slowly ever so sad passing the slobbering CBC sychophants so slowly with Peter Mansbridge describing in his morbid golf announcer voice the slow moving train carrying Peeairs corpse to its final resting place, on and on. Same thing different communist, what is wrong with MSM losers that they always want to lick the balls of commies?
“What is required is a new declaration of independence, not just in our nation, but in our own lives — from ideology and small thinking, prejudice and bigotry — an appeal not to our easy instincts but to our better angels.” and “He was travelling with his wife Michelle, celebrating her 45th birthday Saturday, and their daughters, in a deep blue 1930s-era Pullman car which was a far cry from the jets in which he spent the two years of his campaign.” both the quotes are from other articles with the same headline. I am wondering why he is driving a 1930 pullman. The 30’s generally remind people of the depression and the hitler era. Who are our better angels? Now we are supposed to give up or instinct too?
Lordy, it’s enough to make you SQUIRT!!!
et, the fiction that is obama will grab them by the ass soon enough. paul, we canadians already have what the bi o is going to push in the u.s. and when he does we will suffer. anon, you are a piece of work.
