Thoughts On Obama From Bama

Week 163: Tacky Yankee Lawyer Strikes Again

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Old men I tank tops Cruising the gift shops Checking out chakeetas down by the shore (hey baby want to ride in my new car)
They dream about weight loss Wish they were their own boss Those three day vacations become such a bore

Wastin away again in Margaretville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame And I know it's my own damn fault Margaretville, Jimmy Buffett

Bless his little Marxist/Socialist heart our 44th president just can’t help succumbing to his tacky Yankee lawyer hankerings. On the GOP’s biggest day of their 2012 primary to date, Super Tuesday, the president who doesn’t take a shine to not being the center of attention called his first press conference of 2012.

When asked, White House Propaganda Officer Jay Carney, said the scheduling issue was purely a coincidence. Coincidence my skinny white happy ass. No way, no how, no sir.

Fact is, our Pathological Narcissist-in-Chief is more scared than a long tailed cat walking through a room full of rocking chairs about becoming irrelevant. Not that any US president is ever really irrelevant. Incompetent; ineffective; not respected; arrogant; clueless; weak; a joke; but never irrelevant.

So, in a desperate attempt to avoid his paranoid delusions of irrelevance Mr. Obama inserted his self smack dab into the middle of Super Tuesday GOP politics coming across as small, petty, and nothing more than a heavy handed political hack. All characteristics that define the essence of our 44th president backwards and forwards.

As usual the president’s remarks and responses were chalk full of more lies, balderdash, and just plain BS than white on rice. The truth and Mr. Obama are just few and far between when it comes to anytime the man is flapping those gums in public.

Our public watch dog group, Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire (LLPOF), rated the president’s remarks for truth and accuracy on their 1- Right as Rain to 10- Lying Like a Cheap Rug scale. Following is a summary of their findings:

• Good afternoon, everybody. Now I understand there are some political contests going on tonight. But I’d thought I’d start the day off by taking a few questions which I’m sure will not be political in nature
• Absolutely can’t stand not being the center of attention. Tacky, tacky, sure enough tacky
• Businesses have created about 3.7 million new jobs over the last two years. Manufacturers are hiring for the first time since the 1990s. The auto-industry is back and hiring more than 200-thousand people over the last few years. Confidence is up and the economy is getting stronger
• LLPOF – 322, eight plus percent unemployment, 5 trillion in new debt, and runaway spending is downright criminal.
• This Congress could hold a vote on the Buffett rule, so that we don’t have billionaires paying a lower tax rate than their secretaries. That’s just common sense. The vast majority of Americans believe it’s common sense, and if we’re serious about paying down our deficit, it’s as good a place to start as any
• LLPOF – 257, Buffett’s secretary makes a half million a year and increasing his tax rate won’t make a frog’s hair worth of difference reducing the deficit.
• REPORTER QUESTION: “On the Middle East Gaddafi said he’s going to send his forces to Benghazi, route opponents from their bedrooms and he was going to shoot them. You frequently cited that speech as a justification for NATO, the no fly zone military action. In Syria al-Assad is killing people. There’s a massacre underway. Your critics here in the USA most notably John McCain said you could start airstrikes now. On Iran on Sunday Romney went so far as to say if you were re-elected Iran will get a bomb and the world will change. How do you respond?”
• Obama: When I came into office Iran was unified, on the move had made substantial progress on its nuclear program and the world was divided on how to deal with it. What we’ve been able to do over the last few is years is mobilize unprecedented crippling sanctions on Iran. Iran is feeling the bite of these sanctions in a substantial way. The world is unified Iran is politically isolated. What we have said is we won’t countenance Iran getting a nuclear weapon. My policy is not containment; my policy is not letting them get a nuclear weapon. That’s my track record. Now what’s said on the campaign trail, those folks don’t have a lot of responsibilities, they’re not commander in chief. When I see the casualness when I see these folks talk about war, I’m reminded of the costs involved in war.
• LLPOF- 177, Obama’s policy of walking softly and carrying a small twig emboldens our enemies and compromises US security. His accusation of the GOP candidates taking war with Iran casually is ludicrous especially when you consider Mr. Obama views our military as nothing more than a photo opp
• Jake Tapper, REPORTER QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President. What kind of assurances did you give Prime Minister Netanyahu about the role that the U.S. would play if the diplomacy and economic sanctions fail to work to convince Iran’s leaders to change their behavior and Israel goes ahead and prepares to strike their nuclear facilities?
• President Obama: “I think there’s no doubt that those who are suggesting or proposing or beating the drums of war should explain clearly to the American people what they think the costs and benefits would be. I’m not one of those people. Because what I’ve said is, is that we have a window through which we can resolve this issue peacefully. We have put forward an international framework that is applying unprecedented pressure. The Iranians just stated that they are willing to return to the negotiating table. And we’ve got the opportunity, even as we maintain that pressure, to see how it plays out.
• LLPOF – 243, Anyone who believes Iran is ever gonna negotiate in good faith is crazier than an outhouse rat
• QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President. Do you think Rush Limbaugh’s apology to the Georgetown Law student was sufficient and heartfelt? Do you agree with the decision of the growing number of sponsors that have decided to drop his show and stop supporting his show? And has there been a double standard on this issue? Liberal commentators have made similarly provocative or distasteful statements and there hasn’t been such an outrage.
• OBAMA: You know I’m not going to comment on what sponsors decide to do. I’m not going to comment on either the economics or the politics of it. I don’t know what’s in Rush Limbaugh’s heart, so I’m not going to comment on the sincerity of his apology. What I can comment on is the fact that all decent folks can agree that the remarks that were made don’t have any place in the public discourse. And the reason I called Ms. Flute is because I thought about Malia and Sasha and one of the things I want them to do as they get older is to engage in issues they care about. Even ones I may not agree with them on. I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens. And I wanted Sandra to know that I thought her parents should be proud of her.
• LLPOF – 197, what a sanctimonious wind bag. Liberals call GOP woman bitches, whores and worse including the likes of Bill Marh who just donated 1 million to the Obama campaign. No presidential apologies forthcoming, a tad hypocritical to say the least
• OBAMA – Thanks y’all. Allah the Great, Allah the Merciful, um, I mean, um, Allah, God bless America

Mr. Obama’s insistence of imposing himself on the GOP’s big day is the epitome of tacky Yankee lawyer behavior. Reckon we should expect nothing less from a man who considers a white tank top T shirt, Bermuda shorts, black dress socks and sandals as appropriate casual attire.

I am American by birth and Southern by the grace of God.
