Posted by: puddin n pie at January 26, 2010 10:19 AMI like it when the opposition is stupid. Carry on, gentlemen.
Posted by: The Phantom at January 26, 2010 10:21 AMI'd say that Obama is more dangerous than Carter. The metaphor of their similarity refers only to their incompetence but ignores that Obama's incompetence is linked to an agenda of statism that is held, not by him, but by his Handlers.
I maintain that Obama is a malignant narcissist with no thought in his brain beyond himself and his need to control people around him. However, he's the upfront Salesman of a committed fundamentalist set of socialists who are using him to put through their statist agenda and change the very infrastructure of the US.
Their agenda is non-negotiable; the US is either statist or not. Obama got them into power with his manipulative charm and vacuous rhetoric. The problem is, a narcissist can only interact directly; he needs to control people by direct manipulation.
Obama can't relate to people outside of this direct contact - hence his well-known aloofness, coolness - an incorrect description of a psychological inability to connect to others. Since his focus is only on himself, he cannot analyze and think about issues - which is why he must read from a teleprompter, cannot deal with press ad hoc questions, and makes constant contradictions in his assertions when questioned.
Obama is failing to get their statist policies through not merely because he cannot explain or sell them but because the American people don't want them. However, the backroom gang in control aren't interested in the American people; their agenda is that statist infrastructure.
Therefore, they will now reprogram Obama to further hide their agenda. They won't program him to go 'centrist' because they will not switch their agenda. I'll predict they'll have Obama move into an attack mode against Americans who reject 'his' policies, use the usual 'it's a crisis' tactic, try to set up a class war (wealthy vs poor)..just as he's used racial divisions as a strategy.
Will it work? I doubt it. That means that this gang will drop Obama, they'll find him a 'higher calling' ..at the UN or on the moon in a year or two. But - I still wonder about their agenda and what they will do to try to get that statist structure in place.

Posted by: Aaron at January 26, 2010 10:46 AMET - It goes without saying however that vacuous rhetoric can only be accepted by a vacuous electorate and there appears to be a lot of vacuousity (vacuousness?) in both the upper, middle and lower classes of the American people . (The same could, and should be said about the Canadian electorate) And this isn't just the ghost of Jimmy Carter; he's still out there feeding his socialist pablum to anyone who will listen, and there are many.

"seriously guys"?... Must be referring to the package in Condi's panties.
Obama, in just one year has risen far ahead of Carter as the worst President of the US. However, the difference is that Carter was just an inompetent boob. Obama has an agenda to destroy the US at the behest of his controllers, mainly Boss Soros.
"Barack Obama has yet to make a significant contribution to the Indonesian nation. We could say Obama only ate and s (expletive) in Menteng. He spent his subsequent days living as an American,"
There's no evidence the Messiah defecates.

Posted by: Texas Canuck at January 26, 2010 3:44 PMFrom Wikipedia:
"Narcissus or Narkissos (Greek: Νάρκισσος), possibly derived from ναρκη (narke) meaning "sleep, numbness," in Greek mythology was a hero from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia who was renowned for his beauty.
In the various stories he is exceptionally cruel, in that he disdains those who love him. As divine punishment he falls in love with a reflection in a pool, not realizing it was his own, and perishes there, not being able to leave the beauty of his own reflection."
Yup, definitely sounds like Obama and the series of mirrors at the linked page and Obama is so apt. I particularly like the one in which Obama is looking into the mirror and there's nothing there "No there, there", as someone else put it.

"Indonesia mulls tearing down Obama statue
JAKARTA — Indonesian authorities said Monday they are considering a petition to tear down a statue of US President Barack Obama as a boy, only a month after the bronze was unveiled in Jakarta.
The statue of "Little Barry" -- as Obama was known when he lived in the capital in the late 1960s -- stands in central Jakarta's Menteng Park, a short walk from the US president's former elementary school.
Critics say the site should have been used to honour an Indonesian and 55,000 people have joined a page on social networking website Facebook calling for the statue to be removed.
"We've been discussing for the past two weeks what to do with the statue... whether to take it down, move it elsewhere or retain it. We're finding the best solution," Jakarta parks agency official Dwi Bintarto said.
Obama, who was born in Hawaii, lived for four years as a child in Jakarta from 1967

Loved the mirrors.......
Indonesians, by my observation, are generally right-wing (after the troubles with the communists) pragmatic, astute politicians.
There is not a very leftist bent amongst Indonesians-----they killed all the communists in some very singular, colourful ways.
Actually, it is amazing the statue was ever allowed to be erected----a year past perhaps but now?

Posted by: OMMAG at January 26, 2010 6:54 PMThe Indonesians had this problem (see above) re "The statue of "Little Barry".
The Problem:
"We've been discussing for the past two weeks what to do with the statue... whether to take it down, move it elsewhere or retain it. We're finding the best solution," Jakarta parks agency official Dwi Bintarto said."
Here* is the solution: "a new museum for disgraced statues."
Say Amen, comrades.
Amen comrades.

"*'Hello Lenin'
Berlin to Resurrect its Disgraced Monuments
In a sign of how time is healing Berlin's wounds, the city plans to dig up the giant Lenin monument it famously buried in 1991 and place it in a new museum for disgraced statues. The works will span the communist and Nazi eras and date far back into Prussian times.
Berlin tore down its biggest statue of Lenin, a 19-meter (62-foot) high monster, in 1991, just two years after the fall of the Wall. The removal symbolized Berlin's desperate rush to rid itself of all reminders of its communist past, and was featured in the hit movie "Goodbye Lenin.""

Posted by: curious_george at January 26, 2010 8:42 PMOver at hillbuzz.org, the same photo has different captions - look at the bald spot in the back - which is why he is never photographed from the back - also links to an amusing set of photos of him talking to his reflection in the mirror.
Enjoy

Your point?
Posted by: set you free at January 26, 2010 10:26 PMah free, if I gotta explain it ya ain't never gonna understand.
so here's the quick version: he nailed ACORN on a ruse.
he tried it again, this time committing a felony (or as they say in Canuckistan, a criminal offense). translation? he got cocky and overconfident and pined for additional hero worship from the right wing and in so doing CROSSED THE LINE.
so now faces no doubt a big fat legal bill. unless perhaps Kate can be enjoined to add a 'donate' button to this web site for said right wing hero's defense fund?
