The clear brilliance of Barack Hussein Obama:

Just as persons pointed out the “doltishness” of George W. Bush, so I get to do the reverse for the foremost Constitutional scholar on the planet, Barack Hussein Obama — and his spelling fecundity.

From CBSLocalDC.com:

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP)O-O-P-S. President Barack Obama had a spelling blunder Thursday while praising Aretha Franklin.

Obama misspelled “respect” while lauding the “Queen of Soul” before a White House concert featuring several musical legends.

“When Aretha first told us what R-S-P-E-C-T meant to her,” Obama said, before the audience in the East Room erupted into laughter. He then continued, “”She had no idea it would become a rallying cry for African-Americans, and women, and then everyone who felt marginalized because of what they looked like or who they loved. They wanted some respect. Later, when somebody asked her why it had such an impact, she said, ‘I guess everybody just wants a little respect.’ Today, they still do.”

This is the selfsame zygote who believes there are 58 total states.

Obama Socialist?  Spreading the wealth around?

Vote “different” from Hillary.  Vote Obama:

“When I meet with world leaders, what’s striking — whether it’s in Europe or here in Asia…” -mistakenly referring to Hawaii as Asia while holding a press conference outside Honolulu, Nov. 16, 2011

You can’t write this material.  Was it a line from Dennis Miller?  Uh, no.

“We’re the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad.” —Cincinnati, OH, Sept. 22, 2011

(No, you ignoramus; it was a transcontinental railroad.  An intercontinental railroad would have the challenge of oceans.)

“We’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy.” —on Wall Street reform, Quincy, Ill., April 29, 2010

After you’ve made enough money, just stop.  Say when.  But when is “when”?  And what is “enough”?

“One such translator was an American of Haitian descent, representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world — Navy Corpse-Man Christian Brossard.” –mispronouncing “Corpsman” (the “ps” is silent) during a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, D.C., Feb. 5, 2010 (The Corpsman’s name is also Christopher, not Christian)

Indicting Mr Obama’s massive ignorance of the military and his massive dismissiveness of the military.  Perhaps the Haitian was cadaverous in nature?

“The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.” –Tampa, Fla., Jan. 28, 2010

Or at least since 1948.

“UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.” –attempting to make the case for government-run healthcare, while simultaneously undercutting his own argument, Portsmouth, N.H., Aug. 11, 2009

No comment required here.  Facts in evidence.

“The Cambridge police acted stupidly.” —commenting on a white police officer’s arrest of black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. at his home in Cambridge, Mass., at a news conference, July 22, 2009

And there you go; an immediately-ignorant and racist comment against a highly-decorated officer which resulted in a staged “beer summit.”  Because America has the memory of a Tsetse fly.  And by the way, Gates is an avowed Socialist and Communist advocate, believes in black reparations, is a Reverend Jeremiah Wright lover.

I could go on, but it would be tedious.

Obama an “empty suit” — even Progressives agree now

Obama & a Little FascismFrom CommonDreams.org, a “Progressive” organ for the Left, “Building Progressive Community”:

What the Hell is Barack Obama’s Presidency For?

His ascent to power had meaning, but now his interventions are too rare and too piecemeal to constitute a narrative

Barack Obama has now been in power for longer than Johnson was, and the question remains: “What the hell’s his presidency for?” His second term has been characterised by a profound sense of drift in principle and policy. While posing as the ally of the immigrant he is deporting people at a faster clip than any of his predecessors; while claiming to be a supporter of labour he’s championing trade deals that will undercut American jobs and wages. In December, even as he pursued one whistleblower, Edward Snowden and kept another, Chelsea Manning, incarcerated, he told the crowd at Nelson Mandela’s funeral: “There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba’s struggle for freedom, but do not tolerate dissent from their own people.

If there was a plot, he’s lost it. If there was a point, few can remember it. If he had a big idea, he shrank it. If there’s a moral compass powerful enough to guide such contradictions to more consistent waters, it is in urgent need of being reset.

Call me wacky, but I suspect the only plot possessed by Obama was to “fundamentally transform America.”  He’s been doing an admirable job of same.

And yet, as I have out-pointed numerous times, Mr Obama is insufficiently left for the Left.

Still and all, I tend to find this rather amusing.

A tax attorney: Obama lies.

And this from a person — Cleta Mitchell — who knows from whence she speaks.

A great pull quote:

“I want to make three primary points here. First, the IRS scandal is real. It’s not pretend, it’s real. Number two, the IRS scandal is not just a bunch of bone-headed bureaucrats in some remote office contrary to what the President of the United States told the American People on Sunday. And, number 3, the IRS scandal is not over. It is continuing to this day. And, the Department of Justice Investigation is a sham. It is a nonexistent investigation.”

But imagine this: Attorney Cleta Mitchell speaks logically and cogently from the heart and, simultaneously, whilst doing this, requires not a TelePrompter nor anyone with cue cards.  She instantly acquires more veracity and believability than Barack Hussein Obama could ever hope to possess.

Obama lies once again.  And lies about lying, particularly when he LIED to the face of Bill O’Reilly.  Obama insisted: there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” regarding the IRS and the targeting of Conservative groups:

O’REILLY: You’re saying no corruption (about the IRS)?

OBAMA: No.

O’REILLY: None? No?

OBAMA: There were some — there were some bone-headed decisions…

O’REILLY: Bone-headed decisions…

OBAMA: …out of… out of a local office…

O’REILLY: But no mass corruption?

OBAMA: Not even mass corruption, not even a smidgeon of corruption, I would say.

In this day and age, it is so incredibly easy to prove anyone, any politician, a liar.  Proof exists again and again that Obama is a bald-faced liar.

Yet no one seems to care.

But I care about Benghazi.  I care about where Obama was on September 11th of 2012.  I care about where Hillary Clinton was on September 11th of 2012.

And I care when Obama lies, though too few seem to mirror this concern.

Obama’s State of the Union speech, 2014:

A comment from a journalist who happens to be black:

Obama Imperial TreeGreat Caesar’s Ghost
On the nauseating spectacle that is the State of the Union address

The annual State of the Union pageant is a hideous, dispiriting, ugly, monotonous, un-American, un-republican, anti-democratic, dreary, backward, monarchical, retch-inducing, depressing, shameful, crypto-imperial display of official self-aggrandizement and piteous toadying, a black Mass during which every unholy order of teacup totalitarian and cringing courtier gathers under the towering dome of a faux-Roman temple to listen to a speech with no content given by a man with no content, to rise and to be seated as is called for by the order of worship — it is a wonder they have not started genuflecting — with one wretched representative of their number squirreled away in some well-upholstered Washington hidey-hole in order to preserve the illusion that those gathered constitute a special class of humanity without whom we could not live.

It’s the most nauseating display in American public life — and I write that as someone who has just returned from a pornographers’ convention.

It’s worse than the Oscars.

Many times worse, I’d posit.  Because it’s not about a number of so-called “artistes,” but about ONE MAN.

Please read the entire article here.

Welcome to 2014: the REAL pain of ObamaKare starts to be felt

OBAMACARE IS FOR THE COMMON GOODJust as I’ve written many times, some of the best insight on American news can be found not in the US via what I call the American Media Maggots, but in UK news.  To wit, from the UKDailyMail:   AMM - American Media Maggots 2‘They had no idea if my insurance was active or not!’: Obamacare confusion reigns as frustrated patients walk out of hospitals without treatment

Wow.  That was certainly unforeseen, wasn’t it?

  • MailOnline spoke with patients who were told they would have to pay their bills in full if they couldn’t prove they had insurance
  • One was faced with a $3,000 hospital room charge and opted to leave the hospital after experiencing chest pains
  • ‘Should I be in the hospital? Probably,’ she said
  • Another, coughing in the cold, walked out without receiving a needed chest x-ray
  • Consumers face sticker-shock from medical costs under the new Obamacare system, made worse if they can’t prove they’re insured
  • As many as one-third of new enrollees’ applications have seen problems when the government transmits them to insurance companies

By David Martosko, U.S. Political Editor

Oh, but ladies and gentlemen, the pain and clusterfuckery has just started!  This is Obama’s SCOAMF Gefuckishness in its infancy!  It’s just a little lizard — soon to grow into a real fire-breathing dragon.

Hospital staff in Northern Virginia are turning away sick people on a frigid Thursday morning because they can’t determine whether their Obamacare insurance plans are in effect.

Patients in a close-in DC suburb who think they’ve signed up for new insurance plans are struggling to show their December enrollments are in force, and health care administrators aren’t taking their word for it.

In place of quick service and painless billing, these Virginians are now facing the threat of sticker-shock that comes with bills they can’t afford.

‘They had no idea if my insurance was active or not!’ a coughing Maria Galvez told MailOnline outside the Inova Healthplex facility in the town of Springfield.

She was leaving the building without getting a needed chest x-ray.

‘The people in there told me that since I didn’t have an insurance card, I would be billed for the whole cost of the x-ray,’ Galvez said, her young daughter in tow. ‘It’s not fair – you know, I signed up last week like I was supposed to.’

The x-ray’s cost, she was told, would likely be more than $500.

This is nothing more than what was already prognosticated in November, wherein it was noted that the ACA ObamaCare website builders knew in March that it wasn’t going to work and that, even in September, there was 60% to 70% of the website yet left to build AND, further, the back end of the site wasn’t communicating to the insurance carriers themselves.

Meaning: what is experienced now was already foretold, but no one in government was apparently listening or cared.  People signed up on the site only to not have the site migrate the information over to the carriers themselves.  An individual could believe they had signed up for ObamaKare — and been told them had done so — only, now, to discover their insurance carrier has no record whatsoever of said signing.

“What we’re discovering is that buying insurance is a
little more complicated than we thought.”
– Barack Hussein Obama

This is the same man who demanded that insurance carriers conform to Obamacare, and now demands the insurance carriers not conform to Obamacare.  The same man who can, by dint of a verbal decree, change the ACA as he wishes, at the drop of an illegal hat.

This was an overtly naked takeover of 1/6th of the entire national US economy at the behest of all the Demorats and none of the Republicans, in the dark of night, on the weekend.

Obamacare came by Dictatorial Fiat, then and now.  Mr Obama has NO Constitutional authority to make ANY of these changes.

Yet today: imagine your chagrin.

Imagine you had input a massive amount of your personal information into the healthcare.gov site, and you were stonewalled for minutes or hours or perhaps days.  No telling.

Then imagine your chagrin when you discover you are not covered because the “back end” of the ACA site didn’t manage to communicate with the insurance provider you chose.

Welcome to your new 2014 ObamaCare ACA reality, people.
