Barry Obamaprompta

All of a sudden everybody, including the sycophant NYTimes, is talking about what a doofus the new prez is. Retard jokes, laughing at depression, pretending to be outraged at corporate bonuses he signed into law, and claiming he’s going to set salaries at corporations. Every prez thinks he’s been anointed king. But this one really seems to believe it. Not to worry. He’ll provide a few laughs for the next four years, then be gone.

Cuba Si, Castros No

I tend to agree with Pajamas Media founder Roger L. Simon that Barry’s apparent imminent resumption of trade and ties with Cuba is probably a good thing, certainly for the Cuban people. They have suffered long enough under the heels of the Castro regime. So long as we don’t have to see the fatigue-wearing dictators strutting through the White House and bussing Lady Michelle.

Stem cell snakeoil

The Dumbocrats are genuis at encouraging phony issues. Thus Barry’s latest "triumph" for science, unleashing embryonic stem cells from aborted children, has been overshadowed by stem cells derived from skin:

"These are the true miracles of medicine, which Bush helped promote by blocking funding for the still futile efforts to derive therapies from butchered young humans at the sunrise of their life."

Not that Barry & Co. are especially interested in results. Just another tool for their political sleight-of-hand. Meanwhile stock markets continue to plunge. Even Snoozeweek has finally noticed.

UPDATE:  Well, Nancy Reagan liked the ESC move, anyhow.

Cheapening the presidency

When was the last time we had a president who decided to cheapen his office by fighting in public with a pundit? Some say Richard Nixon’s assault on the Dan Rather of old. A few might remember Harry Truman’s battle with critics panning his daughter’s singing. In any case, it’s only serving to enhance the pundit, Rush Limbaugh:

"Demand for his air time hs suddenly become so intense, Limbaugh told The Examiner’s Byron York earlier today, that his network sold 80 percent as much advertising in January 2009 as it did in all of 2008, and expects to sell-out the year by the end of March. That was before Obama and White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel launched an explicit counter-attack against Limbaugh that seems only to be making him bigger."

Utterly predictable. People who’ve never heard Limbaugh will flock to hear what the fuss is about. I learned to like Rush after 9/11, but he rambles too much for me to make him a steady diet. But now that Barry boy seems to have decided to let the stock market collapse and impoverish us all, I might actually become a fan.

UPDATE:  RedState has a good analysis of what’s going on here. A little Dumbocrat game of hide the pea.

Bozo the VP

While the outrage is focused on Barry boy for singlehandedly "destroying the life savings of millions of Americans," as his so-called policies push the stock market to new lows, we mustn’t forget the first solid indication we had that ole Barry had, in fact, just fallen off the turnip truck.

Why, yes, that would be his selection of Joey Hairplugs to be his veep. Of course this could have been a case of picking someone so dumb that Barry would look brilliant by comparison. Sort of like Daddy Bush’s selection of Dan Quayle.

But Bozo the VP really is in a class by himself. Dan was young. His screwups could be forgiven as the fecklessness of youth. Biden has no excuse other than being stupidier than a box of rocks. His own brother and son, for instance, are neck-deep in that $8 billion Houston fraud. So Barry must have been kidding when he said: "Nobody messes with Joe." Uh, huh. Kidding, right? We can only hope. But given his track record to date, probably not.
