You So Obama!

August 4, 2009

Professor Pamela Munro and her UCLA students put together a “slang” dictionary every four years. They compile all the latest and greatest example of pimply hyperbole that those kooky kids of today are saying. Latest entries include the usual IM and email abbreviations, like “IDK” for “I Don’t Know.”

Also included in the dictionary is the word “Obama.” Apparently it means “cool,” as in “You so obama!” I guess grammar isn’t something that’s making the rounds in UCLA.

I can’t help but wonder what the definition of “obama” will be when the next volume comes out in four years.


Why So Serious?

Well, we knew he was a smoker and a midnight toker, so we probably shouldn’t be surprised at this. Making the rounds in Los Angeles:

UPDATE: I’m starting to see some criticism of this coming from the Left. The accusation is that it’s racist to paint a black man up in white face. I will say that the race angle on this is something that I flat out do not see. Maybe it’s because I don’t view these things through the prism of race, or maybe I’m just obtuse, but I don’t see a racial component here. I’m not really sure what I do see. My initial take on it was that it was calling out Obama as a socialist joker (which he is). Unless someone can prove to me that this was some backhanded racist insult, that’s the meaning I’m sticking with.

Putting a white man in black face was done to give whites a routine with which to pantomime and mock blacks. Putting someone in white face is designed to do what, exactly? If it’s racist, is it racist against whites? Is the criticism implied here that Obama is “acting white” (which is usually a criticism coming from the Left directed at black conservatives)? Perhaps the criticism is that Obama is a Socialist mime? Putting black face on a picture of George Bush or Bill Clinton can be construed as racist. The intent behind making up a black man to look like a villain from the number 4 highest-grossing movie of all time is much less clear.

UPDATE II: Allahpundit takes the L.A. Weekly to task for their criticism and Michelle Malkin reminds us of when it was cool to demonize the President.


More Videos On Health Care Reform

August 3, 2009

Congress is home for the August break and they are hearing about it from all you good Power Fighters. Michelle Malkin has a post today that contains several videos, including a real beauty of Senator Arlen Specter and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius getting manhandled.

Panzramic has many more videos from the same townhall.

UPDATE: Iowahawk posts the Democratic response from Arlen Specter and Kathleen Sebelius. It’s satire, of course, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t how these nattering nabobs of knuckleheadism really think.


Who Will You Believe On Health Care Reform? Barack Obama Or Your Own Lying Eyes?

August 3, 2009

Breitbart has posted the following video showing Obama and others advocating for a Canadian/European-style single payer health care system…the very type of system he now claims he doesn’t want.

This is exactly what conservatives and most Republicans have been warning you about: the “health care reform” Barack Obama wants to put into effect is specifically designed to eliminate the health care coverage you currently have and put every American (and every illegal alien) into a government-run system.

Fight the power, people. Call or write your representative and your Senators. Let them know that we will not tolerate this.


Michelle Malkin is on it, too.

UPDATE: Uncut video:


Beerapalooza 2009

July 31, 2009

In honor of yesterday’s Beer Summit between Barack Obama, Joe Biden, esteemed Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, and a member of the fascistic, red-necked, blue-collared, jack-booted community, I bring you the latest from Iowahawk.

Speaking for myself, I have learned much from this teachable moment.

I have learned that I would never send my children to be taught anything at Harvard.
