... think about it:
INEFFECTUAL, invisible, unable to honour pledges and now blamed for letting Gaddafi off the hook. Why Obama’s gone from ‘Yes we can’ to ‘Er, maybe we shouldn’t’...[...]
Obama’s campaign slogan was mesmerisingly simple and brimming with self-belief: “Yes we can.” His presidency, however, is turning out to be more about “no we won’t.” Even more worryingly, it seems to be very much about: “Maybe we can… do what, exactly?“
Look at the bright side ... seldom before have so many satirists been given so much to work with.

I do hope he gets back from Rio in time to pardon the Thanksgiving turkey.

Posted by: Osumashi Kinyobe at March 18, 2011 4:32 PMMy greatest fear is that at some point a despot will underestimate Comrade Barry and cause the 3rd world war. Easily done now that the US has a leader that habitually keeps his hands in his pocket and looks the other way.

Gaddafi promised to put his panzers in Benghazi and show 'no mercy'...
Didn't we see this movie 70 odd years ago?
Presumably, he is singing the Afrika Korps lied...
Heiß über Afrikas Boden die Sonne glüht,
Unsere Panzermotoren singen ihr Lied,
Es rasselten die Ketten
Es dröhnt der Motor,
Panzer rollen in Afrika vor.
Now the UN has chimed in so are the Marines perhaps humming their tune as well?
The First Barbary War (1801–1805), also known as the Barbary Coast War or the Tripolitan War, was the first of two wars fought between the United States and the North African Muslim states known collectively as the Barbary States. These were the independent Sultanate of Morocco and Tripoli, which were quasi-independent entities nominally belonging to the Ottoman Empire.
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea
Thus everything old is 'new' again...

I think all that "yes we can" really signified was "yes, we can move into the White House."
So they did, and that was apparently the only goal of the exercise.
An eviction notice needs to be issued, perhaps entitled "no you can't (stay)."
Posted by: Peter O'Donnell at March 18, 2011 11:27 PMAre you guys kidding me? Barry has very nearly gotten every d@amn thing he wanted in just two years. "Yes We Can!" turned into "Yes We DID!" Its a DemocRat wet dream, what they've done in his regime.
Why do y'all think he's off to party in Rio instead of paying attention to a Middle East which is hanging by a thread? He doesn't care what happens, its all good for his plans.
Anything that knocks America back a notch is just fine with Barry, because to him and his crowd America is the -source- of all evil in this world, not the answer to it.
And watching the new Republican congress tut tut and follow all the rules and get -nothing- repealed? That's just comedy GOLD for these guys.
Posted by: The Phantom at March 19, 2011 1:07 AMWhat's interesting is that it is a left-wing rag that is critical of Obama - is the worm finally turning?
Posted by: Aviator at March 19, 2011 1:26 AMI love the big lie "We must save Civilian Lives". Missiles & Bombs don't discriminate between friend or foe, nor do they win wars..Huff & Puff this bull shit to the lefty morons. Wack the crazy Kaddaffy bugger, or go back to Chicago.
Obama has already broken every US Law...Whats all the fuss about not targeting the leader of a sovereign nation.
