The con job continues…

So far, just two weeks into Obamalot, there have been many reverses of campaign promises, a dozen lobbyists appointed, and tax cheats galore. The Affirmative Action presidency rolls on. Whatever comes next surely can’t top this. Change it is. Hope? Zero.

UPDATE:  Another pledge broken. Hopenchange was just a slogan. Surprise, surprise. VDH, meanwhile, is more fearful than before about what four years of this could mean.

Drunken sailors spend their own money

Not Barry, Nancy, Harry & Charlie–and Barry’s appointed tax cheats Tom and Tim. They spend your money, sucker. Meanwhile, their FEMA ignores Kentucky and Big Media ignores it all (note that the AP story at the link buries the lede in the tenth graph). Not enough poor black people, like in New Orleans, I guess.

Those Wacky Dhimicrats

Barry is crafting a conciliatory letter to Mad Mahmoud (L). Hope Howard Howie (R) gets to come along on the visit.

UPDATE:  VDH is usually agast at what B. Hussein Obama plans or does, as here, in "Dancing Among Landmines," but we’ll see who’s right: whether a prez can really harm anything taking the appeasement route. 

Here come the real fascists

Barry strode into office proclaiming that the economy was going to hell and the little guy was gonna die. Dems always do that, especially when it isn’t true. Like now. As we in Texas, where the economy remains quite good overall, know only too well. That’s one reason we didn’t vote for the charlatan. Dem hysterics spent eight years accusing Bush of promoting fear, when Bush had a good reason in the Jihadi terrorists, and now the Dems are gutting his solution, the war on terror. Did you like 9/11? Are you ready for another one?

Meanwhile, Barry is promoting needless fear. He said in his inaugural speech that we’re in an economic crisis. Crises like the housing bubble Dem hacks like Barney Frank helped puncture while he blamed Bush. Crises are necessary for Dems to grow government with more high-tax, feel-good, do-little programs that guarantee political corruption and nonsense. Ah, but also temporary jobs for their cronies. The funny thing is how dumb so many of their supporters are, especially the Hollyweird elite. They’ve spent eight years accusing Bush of promoting facism, proving they don’t know the meaning of the word. Barry and his personality cult are the real fascists. Wait until they try to kill conservative talk radio to suppress opinions they don’t like. Maybe then even a dumb actor will be able to figure it out.

Our first Affirmative Action president

That’s Mr. President, Barry, Barack, B. Hussein Obama, The One, whatever you prefer. I mean just because it’s seldom heard doesn’t mean that it isn’t self-evident. Geraldine Ferraro was the first to say it out loud: that no white man with Barry’s political and social baggage and lack of experience could possibly have won either major party’s nomination.

Not with a racist pastor of twenty years, a convicted gangster who helped him buy his home and an unrepentent American terrorist who not only baby-sat his daughters but is the suspected hidden co-author of his one literary achievement. But because Barry is half black, you can turn Dr. King’s famous quote around, and give BHO a pass based on the color of his skin as opposed to the content of his (questionable) character. Hence, he is our first Affirmative Action President. He won’t be the last.

Keeping a clean desk

No new economic ideas apparent yet. Hey, maybe they can all work for the Post Office.

UPDATE: Maggie Thatcher’s old line: "The trouble with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money." So work for the Post Office. But don’t count on being there long.

Lose the salute, Barry

He may be CINC now but he shouldn’t let it go to his head. He still looks silly using a military salute as he did at the inaugural parade. Mainly because he’s never been in the military. Maybe Bad Bill did it, too. I don’t remember, but I wouldn’t be surprised. They are the only presidents since World War II who didn’t serve. Both Dems, of course. So take my unsolicited advice, BHO and stick with the hand over the heart. Achieves the same thing and, for an always civilian like you, it looks a lot less like you’re playing plastic soldier.

MEANWHILE: Now they’re asking. After swooning for Barry’s campaign, Big Media wonders who he is. For instance, he obviously can’t be everywhere, and he did lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. But he also rather obviously blew one military affair that not even Bad Bill forgot. Still, he made the one for himself (i.e. CINC), even if it was a bit edgy.

UPDATE:  On the matter of the salute, apparently there’s precedent and law custom for his doing it. Still, I think he looks ridiculous. In fact I think anyone in civilian clothes doing it looks pompous.
