Take Me, Obama

From the Associated Press' John Rogers (who is a man);

He was tall and stunningly good looking, a guy who could appear pensive and serious one moment and then, with smoke from an unfiltered cigarette swirling around his face, morph into the hippest looking dude this side of James Dean.

Another victory for the Gramscian whores.

Through our fine education system and Hollywood media, it isn't only acceptable to be a homosexual now, it's absolutely cool.

This is called personality cult. Been there done that. It's only a new thing for North American 99% of population (who has perfect hearing but listening disability, by the way).

I'm sure black guy / white guy is probably a category you can search on porn sites. You could probably narrow the choices further by adding smoker to the search.

You can tell its propaganda when the guy who's party is selling Chrysler dealerships to their owners for "campaign donations" is "...the hippest looking dude this side of James Dean."

The day of reckoning will come, eventually. I can wait.

I guess it sent a quiver up his leg.

After earning a doctorate from the University of Southern California, she became a psychology professor at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, where she lives with her family.

"What would have happened, the day they came out, everybody would have went ballistic over that one shot," she said.

I guess English grammar was not her strong point.

But did he inhale?Or does he know the definition of sex?

Posted by: Justthinkin at May 29, 2009 10:01 AM

pen·sive (pnsv)
adj.
1. Deeply, often wistfully or dreamily thoughtful.
2. Suggestive or expressive of melancholy thoughtfulness.

With Obama everything is a pose, that would be why he appears pensive rather than is pensive.

The quote does leave me wondering which side of James Dean he is referring to?
The side that wontonly wrecks things like the economy or the plain juvenile side that does it without a cause.

He looks stoned. I wonder how far their denial about 0's inadequacies as a leader will go? 30 years from now with America still struggling to pay off debt accumulated under this poser, will these same people still be cooing about what a great man he was. Much like their northern morons still coo about our own tax and spender PET?

I am beginning to hear stories about American companies looking to bring their money into Canada to invest more and more recently. Is this going to be the trend as these companies begin to flee the states to escape any Chavez manoeuvers the Chairman may make?

Interesting times ahead.

Well at least the media is finally acknowledging that he smokes.
Of course that's just more evicdence of how cool he is.

Posted by: Stan at May 29, 2009 10:25 AM

The "Obama Flu" is still in the media. Hopefully there is a cure soon. I would hope the tingling media will eventualy start reporting news rather than filtering.

Posted by: capt_bob at May 29, 2009 10:31 AM

Dream on, Capt. Bob. The AP's and the entire major media's only hope for continued solvency is a major bail-out from Barry. They are all going broke like GM.

They are going to lie for this guy even after the jail door closes on him. They will lie with their last drop of ink and last second of air time.

We are the cure.

Posted by: The Phantom at May 29, 2009 10:38 AM

Quick, somebody hand me a bucket! Ready to blow chunks here! Uhhhmmm...uhhhhhmmmm---UHHHHMMMM....

Posted by: Canadian Sentinel at May 29, 2009 10:59 AM

Man smoking is sooo cool especially when Barry does it. Makes me wonder if Stephen Harper with his steely blue eyes, and cool aloof demeanor, was a smoker whether the media would be so adoring? (sarc)

I recalled a few stories that ran a while back regarding Harpers belly and how the media spun negative that Harpers ample girth was sending a bad message to Canadians.

So the media message seems to be smoking is tres cool for certain heads of state, but carrying a few extra pounds is not. Unless Barry gains a few pounds while in office - then we'll see headlines like "Obamas ample girth reflects newfound prosperity!"

(Tried to find the links to the Harper articles but all google gave back was the headlines buried in some other articles)

Ottawa Citizen: "Harper Lampooned for Bulging Belly" and "Harper Gets Flak over Bulging 'Spare' Tire,"

also

Montreal Gazette's: "Harper's Bulging Belly Steals Spotlight: Prime Minister's Fondness for Soft Drinks Sets Bad Example for Canadians".

Yuk. Wipe your chin leftard and find a career more suited to your talents (if any.) Journalism isn't your forte.

Posted by: Jason at May 29, 2009 11:21 AM

...stunningly good looking...

What? I'll admit he was less homely when his afro doo hid his dumbo ears, ...but stunning?

Does anyone else feel the same gut-level revulsion when the word "charisma" is so freely associated with a candidate or leader?

Posted by: glasnost at May 29, 2009 11:32 AM

Read somewhere that Barry smokes Kools, the extra long and thin menthol cigarette that is a pure stereotype on African Americans...Like Popeye Chicken and Colt 45 Malt liquor.

No wonder the MSM keeps Barry choice of cigs under raps...Cannot open doors for making fun of the negro King.
But even if Lenno, Colbert, Stewart, Letterman or the entire crew of SNL knew this they would not touch it anyway.

NO ONE IS TO MAKE FUN OF CHAIRMAN HUSSEIN, OR ELSE FACE THE RISK OF NO FUTURE BAILOUT ON THEIR RESPECTIVE DYING TV NETWORKS.

Posted by: Right Honorable Terry Tory at May 29, 2009 11:39 AM

glasnost,
charisma is just "animal magnetism". It's sexy but you shouldn't pick someone for their first ever real job because of it, especially if that first job is President of the United States of America.

Posted by: Oz at May 29, 2009 11:39 AM

"unfiltered cigarette" ???

hahaha

Posted by: ScottInRMH at May 29, 2009 12:10 PM

"who is a man"

I'd say the jury's still out on that one.

Posted by: Sean at May 29, 2009 12:12 PM

Hmmm, let's take inventory:

He markets hope as a political commodity

He has the personality cult

He has the demagogue posture

He has the fawning media sycophancy

He has a zombie army of cyber thugs attacking any hint of dissent

He has quietly integrated sympathetic radicals into beltline power cliques

He paints his nation as corrupt and any social upheaval as just

He has the financial oligarchy backing him

He has successfully blurred the division of state and private corporation

Nawwww no neo-fascism there

Posted by: voltaire's bastard at May 29, 2009 12:21 PM

glasnost @11:32 - Also a pet peeve of mine. The great University of Chicago intellectual Alan Bloom in "The Closing of the American Mind" has this to say: "...the gaudy religious word 'charisma' ... has had such fateful political consequences while becoming one of the most tiresome buzzwords in America. In Chicago there is a Charisma Cleaners, and every street gang leader is called 'charismatic'."

Is O's smoking transformational?

Posted by: Aaron at May 29, 2009 1:03 PM

It's a shame Americans didn't learn from history the pitfalls of handing power over to a narcissist. The Germans, Russians, Cubans and North Koreans know too well. As do we Canadians (see Trudeau).

Boy they (and by extension, we) are in for it big time.

Posted by: Soccermom at May 29, 2009 1:16 PM

personally I thing the big Owe walks like Joe Clark. you know the hand going forward the same time as the leg. I guess the MSM likes swagger rather than balance anyway.

Posted by: cal2 at May 29, 2009 1:29 PM

Kool cigarettes? Sorry, too good to be true. Back in "the day" in San Francisco, those who smoked Kools were advertising their pothead proclivity. It was definitely not cool.

It is said often, but one can imagine the reception a Kool-smoking "W" would have received from the media.

Posted by: Mazzuchelli at May 29, 2009 2:03 PM

He's bad. He's black. And he's back for revenge. HE'S SHAFT.

And he has an eye for the ladies.
"Hey, baby, why don't you slide by my crib. I got an advance copy of "Big".

Shaft has a word for his critics.

"ImgonnasmokeyalikeaMFingpackofKools"

He'll rip you, he'll stomp you. Baby, he's gonna blow you up.

Look out, America, cuz Shaft is back for revenge.

Posted by: Greg in Dallas at May 29, 2009 3:26 PM

I agree Phantasmo, the MSM went "all in" some time ago, it's too late to fold.

"He's bad. He's black. And he's back for revenge. HE'S SHAFT."

The fact that AP would even consider putting that article on the wires is as much proof as you will ever need that the MSM are .... well if you don't know the rest of that line by now there's no helping you.

Posted by: OMMAG at May 29, 2009 11:48 PM

Like Capt_Bob I wish there was a cure coming along soon, but the media still thinks Alger Hiss was railroaded and that the Rosenbergs were innocent and that Whittaker Chambers was a liar; that's some 60 years on.

Posted by: Larry Bennett at May 30, 2009 12:17 AM

He has successfully blurred the division of state and private corporation

VB, to me that is the most scary thing.

I hate it when a theme song gets stuck in your head...can you dig it.

Quote from Shaft TV series watcher...

"Shaft's mission was to "protect the values of ghetto life"? What in the world does that mean? Crooked cops? Don't remember a single one in the flick. As I recall, the only "crooked" characters were the mafiosi, of course, and Bumpy, who Shaft (or maybe Ben) openly derided for selling junk to his own people. In other words, he was no better than whites. Bumpy's lame defense was (to paraphrase), "everyone's sellin' somethin' - you sell blue sky and revolutionary dreams, I sell what I sell. It's all the same."

June 3 -- Obama visited the holiest shrine of Islam today, and reported an out of body experience as he circled the Black Rock and became one with the Prophet Mohammed. Then he blew a few smoke rings and sold what was left of America to a Saudi prince.

June 4 -- Obama called for unity of mankind and reconciliation of Muslims, Jews and Christians -- and Ba'hais too, if they wanted a piece of his action -- then he puffed on a cigarette while his silhouette fell on the Pyramids, the Red Sea parted and He went up on Sinai to issue His Ten Commandments. Number six, thou shalt not be white.

June 5 -- Obama visited the Dome on the Rock and proclaimed Himself as God, and said, "Umm, look, umm, this is not what you were expecting to see on a dollar bill, but we don't have those any more."

June 6 -- The new earthly God visited Normandy to explain World War II to a grateful and expectant world. Finally, it all made sense.

June 7 -- This is where it gets just a bit nasty ...
