Report: North Korea to fire test missile in our general direction

June 18, 2009

According to this report, North Korea is planning on firing a test missile in the direction of Hawaii in early July. Even at an optimum range, the missile will fall about 500 miles short of Pearl Harbor, but can we at least all agree that it’s the thought that counts?

I’m sure St. Barry will be “deeply troubled” or perhaps even “concerned” by this. He might even give a speech recognizing North Korea’s right to have nukes and their understandable anger at America for keeping North and South separate and unequal these past 56 years. This acknowledgment of our flaws will then be followed by, “But nuking Hawaii won’t make that right again. We need to move forward together.”

If this report is true, and if North Korea does launch a long-range ballistic missile in the direction of Hawaii, Obama must order the missile blown out of the sky by whatever means possible (which may be harder now what with the gutting of missile defense in lieu of money for ACORN and other favored groups). Anything short of a direct, swift response to this challenge would be to admit that we will bend over for any bully who challenges us. It would be an act of cowardice by an American president the likes of which have not been seen since Jimmy Carter trembled in fear at the approach of a killer rabbit.

It would also be perfectly in keeping with Obama’s modus operandi.

The Obama Time Capsule

June 18, 2009

Oh. My. God.

Now let’s see, what would I put in a time capsule to acknowledge the Obama presidency so that future generations can learn?

  • Mainstream media-approved knee pads
  • A shredded copy of the Constitution
  • A teleprompter
  • A copy of Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism
  • A GM Hummer and a Chrysler Minivan
  • Keith Olbermann
  • A “One Big Ass Mistake, America” bumper sticker
  • Gitmo detainees we can’t bribe other countries to take off our hands
  • Chris Matthews’s rended trousers from when the tingle shot up his leg
  • Every issue of Newsweek that features Obama on the cover (i.e., every issue of Newsweek)
  • CD single of Living Colour’s “Cult Of Personality”
  • A collection of DVDs autographed by England’s Prime Minister, Gordon Brown
  • Ear plugs, eye shades, and a cork to represent the Obamadroids out there
  • Every man, woman, and child in this evil, horrifying video

The Crybaby-In Chief

June 17, 2009

Have we ever had a President with thinner skin than Barack Obama? Like him or hate him, George W. Bush had skin like leather. But here’s Barack Obama on CNBC whining about how Fox News is devoted to attacking him all day long:

Fortunately for the Crybaby-in-Chief, he has CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today and countless other media outlets willing to strap on their knee pads and fellate him at the drop of hat. And as for Fox, their liberal commentators like Kirsten Powers, Juan Williams, and Bob Beckel do a much better job of defending Obama than the fawning sycophants like Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews. Obama should be grateful to Fox News…it’s the one place where you can hear reasonable defenses of the Administration without all the drool.

No President has ever had so many palm fronds laid at his feet by the media. For him to complain about any criticism just shows what a thin-skinned amateur he really is.

Obama Seeks Power To Seize Financial Companies

June 16, 2009

From the L.A. Times comes this story of a new proposal from the Administration. President Obama is seeking to give the government the ability to seize companies that the government feels are failing, and whose failure might hurt the economy. In other words, if you are a financial company that the government feels is going to fail, and the government decides that your failure might adversely affect the economy, then the government can come in and take over your company.

Does anyone besides me find this a little scary? Or a lot scary?

Obama Speaks Softly, Carries Small Styrofoam Stick

June 15, 2009

Well, it only took a few days and a lot of pressure for President Obama to speak out about the situation in Iran. I don’t have the transcript yet, but I just finished watching him on the news.

He should be commended for saying something, I suppose, but what he actually said was, as usual, weak and full of equivocation.

Obama said that he was “deeply troubled” which is all well and good, but then he went on to stress that he still has plans to meet Ahmadinejad, and he strongly implied that the Ayatollah’s promise to investigate the election results won’t be a complete sham.

When I get the full transcript (his statement was typical of Obama sans teleprompter…long and rambling), I will post it here.

UPDATE: I couldn’t find the transcript but Hot Air posted the video:

As I said in my earlier post, now is not the time for an “Evil Empire” speech, though the mullahocracy in Iran surely merits one, but a strongly-worded acknowledgement that the United States understands that the election (and the promised “investigation” into the election) was a farce and the response to the protestors was brutal and should not be tolerated is not too much to ask from the leader of the free world. Even the French managed to use the word “brutality” in their condemnation.

But Obama is “deeply troubled.” There’s that frowny face again.
