Hey Canada, You Voted For HIm

You don't even have to go back to 2008 and the election, the Red Star had some poll of Canadians blowing him just 2 weeks or so ago, too.

I miss 'W', I missed him before he left office.

Hey Kate, ALL Canadian MSM slobbered over him!

They still do!

I recall Canadian MSM preening Taliban Jack as Obama's socialist Canadian advisor.

Just goes to show how far the socialist dogma has inculcated itself into the Canadian psyche. Woe is us!!!

Too many citizens of this country are simply an embarrassment to those of us who do think.

Obama (Worst President Ever) will have utterly destroyed the U.S. after his 4 years are up. I predict a very ugly future for Western civilization.

Hey TorStar, can we make him Prime Minister too?

He missed out on a Golden Globe, Grammy and Oscar, although he should get a special Bammy award for "acting", "the spoken word" and "present". Alternative award for teleprompter reading.

Obama's a one-term-wonder.

Lame.

grok: "Obama (Worst President Ever) will have utterly destroyed the U.S. after his 4 years are up. I predict a very ugly future for Western civilization."
=========================
I don't think so. The upcoming Illinois vote plus the mid-term elections this fall will put some balance back into the seat of government. The most likely outcome will be three years of a limping duck. The American system is a beaut when it comes to built in safeguards against tyranny. Too bad some of that hasn't trickled northward.

In fact, it might be a good thing for Western civilization to start pulling their own weight a bit more, rather than leaving so much of our security up to the 'Mericans.

Gotcha. So it's likely that BO will institute left-wing protectionist policy to appease the right-wing; or, is it that BO will institute right-wing protectionist policy to appease the left?

"Is there anything that Obama can't do?"

Next we'll be told that Scott Brown's election is vindication of Obama’s agenda, and that a government monopoly on health insurance will benefit existing private insurance companies.

"Democracy is the theory that the public knows what it wants and deserves to get it - good and hard."

hehe... I notIced the bIg I.

Let me stress that I never thought Obama was good for the US, let alone the world. That is the problem when you ask idiots. They assume you are stupid, as well.
I remember having a discussion with a relative about Obama. He never understood why there were some Canadians who thought he was so grand. Why? He would destroy Canadian business. He said as much. How is that good for Canada?
To recap, idiots make assumptions, ect.

The story is US protectionism. This is VERY dangerous. During the thirties such isolationism prolonged the depression by years. We have to fight to prevent a repeat.

Louise is sooo correct.

OBOZO and the BRG has been whinning about the Constitution from the get-go.

The Brown election leaves the wrecking crew in control of the WH and both Houses......but powerless.
Using the EPA to do do an end run around Congress will just result in the SCOTUS and the Constitution interdicting/enjoining the process.

Despite OBOZO appointing the LATINA genius to the SCOTUS....he is faced with the founders design.
SCOTUS appointees are appointed for life and can only be removed by their peers.(good luck) Because of this, regardless their partisan record, they invariably side with their new constituency---the SCOTUS.
This leaves a president frustrated with losing control over his intended puppet(s). Sorta like King Henry appointing his buddy Thomas Becket Archbishop...
MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL......

Only 3 years to go!

I'm not sure if anyone watches "Power Play" on CTV these days... I know it's naeseating... Recently when it was shown that Obamy's poll numbers where way down, Tom Clark, the host of the show declared his astonishment at this fact and then further declared that Canadians still overwhelmingly support, and indeed love the great Obamy. We do ? I'm not sure which crystal ball Tom Clark is looking into in order to make these assertions, but I wonder perhaps if it's the same crystal ball that the Toronto Red Star uses when they also feel the need to tell Canadians what they think, and which empty suited socialist we would vote for.

three years of a limping duck.

Was "duck" a typo, Louise?
8^)

'Hey Kate, ALL Canadian MSM slobbered over him!'

Yeah, but ALL Canadian MSM are, collectively speaking, a douche-bag.

Sean M: "I'm not sure which crystal ball Tom Clark is looking into in order to make these assertions ..."

Well, I think I do. It's the entitled, chattering class crystal ball that assumes that journalists speak for "all Canadians." They're the guys that are responsible for Kate's starting this blog.

Tom Clark is a privileged, UCC-educated, Rosedale boy, whose great-grandfather, Joseph T. Clark, was managing editor of the Toronto Star and Saturday Night. His grandfather was a reporter for the Toronto Star, and his father was the founder of Canada NewsWire.

It doesn't look like Tom Clark got his job totally on merit, does it? Neither does it look like Tom Clark is plugged into what, in fact, the wo/man on the street is thinking.

He just thinks he does. His crystal ball, mounted on melted-down silver spoons, is distorted.

The only thing next fall's elections are going to do is doom the American public with a bunch of hurry up "while we can" crappy legislation before the elections and then two years of an even lamer pouting POTUS. Remember, it is all about him (and the puppet master that has his fist up ...

I had heard that there were about 80,000 American expats in Canada, who had the right to vote in the presidential election.
I remember seeing on either CTV or CBC glowing and starry eyed Americans being interviewed at various locations. Obama and more Obama.
I was aware of the razor thin margin for George W Bush in Florida, which gave the electoral college vote by tradition to Bush. 23 votes and I believe the Democrat nominee had theoretically 13 more votes using the electoral college before Florida.
It so happened Barack Obama did win clearly.
I remember certain MSM cheerfully recounting how Canadians joined in the fun. Helping organizers in the American's own country.
Probably illegal, if not that - unethical.

If he could count on Canadians to continue to support him, Obama would annex Canada in a minute. Maybe twenty million extra votes in his pocket - plus the Tar Sands.

D'ya suppose he and his handlers might be checking this out?

Thanks batb... I knew this guy Tom Clark was a scumbag, why else would he be working for CTV, but it's enlightening, although not surprising to know that Mr.Clark comes from a family of scumbags, and that he inhereted his crystal ball.

kakola...you give him too much credit.

Did you read the comments ,and the agree disagree
percentages.
That is wat is down right scary.
Only in Canada

I have no time for Bambam, but the real tragedy last week was the reconfirmation of Fed chief "Helicopter" Ben Bernanke. His continuing monetization of US debt only ensures that the decline of the US dollar will continue. We've all seen the loonie rise by 50% against the US dollar, but the real champion has been the Euro. From a low of around 75 cents, when some wags nicknamed it the "zeuro", it is now over $1.40; that's nearly double. Of course, the ultimate money, gold, has done even better.

And the problem is the economic pressure that puts on all countries. If Canada sees the loonie continue to rise, our exports to the US will naturally fall. China, whose currency rightly should be rising, still maintains a peg to the US dollar, so the renminbi will fall with the buck. When the two largest economies in the world are both depreciating their currencies, everyone else in the world gets priced out of their markets, so everyone has to let their currencies fall as well. Economists call this "competitive devaluation"; others call it "a race to the bottom". This puts us, in particular, in a no win situation. If the loonie rises, we lose our export markets and jobs. If the loonie falls, the price of our imports goes up, and we're all poorer. With one of the most trade dependent economies in the world, I don't see how we can avoid this dilemma.

"Did you read the comments ,and the agree disagree percentages."

I wouldn't take the comments at the CBC as a reliable indicator of Canadian opinion. If it were Harper would be hanging from a lamp post on Young Street, Iranian style.

Those swooning over Obama - whether here in Canada or cheering him on in Berlin during the US election - seem to have completely forgotten that he was running for President of the United States, not President of the World.

It's the morning after and the stunned buggers have awoken to realize that President Obama is concerned with US national interests above all else.

And so he should be.

JJM...you give him too much credit.
