I couldn’t have said it better myself than does Hank Williams Jr. via Townhall magazine:
This is absolutely the worst administration in our lifetime. They’re in a tailspin. I don’t know how this guy is going to finish his term. I really don’t know.
Worst. President. Ever. may very well no longer be sufficient to describe the Narcissist-in-Chief.
I think I found the Narcissist-in-Chief’s theme song: Mac Davis and Oh Lord It’s Hard To Humble:
Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
when you’re perfect in every way.
I can’t wait to look in the mirror
cause I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
but I’m doing the best that I can.I used to have a girlfriend
but she just couldn’t compete
with all of these love starved women
who keep clamoring at my feet.
Well I prob’ly could find me another
but I guess they’re all in awe of me.
Who cares, I never get lonesome
cause I treasure my own company.Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
when you’re perfect in every way,
I can’t wait to look in the mirror
cause I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
but I’m doing the best that I can.I guess you could say I’m a loner,
a cowboy outlaw tough and proud.
I could have lots of friends if I want to
but then I wouldn’t stand out from the crowd.
Some folks say that I’m egotistical.
Hell, I don’t even know what that means.
I guess it has something to do
with the way that I
fill out my skin tight blue jeans.Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
when you’re perfect in every way,
I can’t wait to look in the mirror
cause I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
but I’m doing the best that I can.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Iran is on the verge of having its nuclear weapon, being in the testing stage of the trigger, according to top secret intelligence obtained by a London newspaper.
Confidential intelligence documents obtained by The Times of London show that Iran is working on testing a key final component of a nuclear bomb.
The notes, from Iran’s most sensitive military nuclear project, describe a four-year plan to test a neutron initiator, the component of a nuclear bomb that triggers an explosion. Foreign intelligence agencies date them to early 2007, four years after Iran was thought to have suspended its weapons program.
An Asian intelligence source last week confirmed to The Times that his country also believed that weapons work was being carried out as recently as 2007 — specifically, work on a neutron initiator.
The technical document describes the use of a neutron source, uranium deuteride, which independent experts confirm has no possible civilian or military use other than in a nuclear weapon. Uranium deuteride is the material used in Pakistan’s bomb, from where Iran obtained its blueprint.
“Although Iran might claim that this work is for civil purposes, there is no civil application,” said David Albright, a physicist and president of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington, which has analysed hundreds of pages of documents related to the Iranian programme. “This is a very strong indicator of weapons work.”
This is very bad news for both Israel and the United States. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (pronounced “I’m A Nutjob”) has vowed to eliminate Israel and take on the United States. Gee, thanks, all he needs now is a nuclear bomb, which will come in very handy in his stated desire to usher in the 12th imam.
What is the Narcissist in Chief doing about it? Overexposing Himself all over TV again. Giving His umpteenth sit-down interview with the increasingly irrelevant 60 Minutes. Chatting with Oprah on yet another hour-long special focusing attention on Him. Giving Himself a B-plus for His first year in office.
It’s going to be up to Israel to take out the Iranian nuclear reactors before this becomes a reality. And, don’t forget: Our Lord and Savior has indicated He will use the U.S. military in Iraq to shoot down any Israeli jets flying over Iraqi airspace en route to Iran.
Just whose side is He on?
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse than yesterday, it can.
In fact, Yes It Can!
The latest Rasmussen Daily President Tracking poll has Our Lord and Savior Barack Hussein Obama at minus-19, 23 percent strongly approve while 42 percent strongly disapprove.
That’s an increase (decrease?) of three points from yesterday.
More from the general poll analysis:
Today is the second straight day that Obama’s Approval Index rating has fallen to a new low. Prior to the past two days, the Approval Index had never fallen below -15 during Obama’s time in office …
The 23% who Strongly Approve matches the lowest level of enthusiasm yet recorded. Just 41% of Democrats Strongly Approve while 69% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 21% Strongly Approve and 49% Strongly Disapprove.
This little nugget is buried inside the poll:
Among those who consider fiscal policy issues the most important, just 1% Strongly Approve and 81% Strongly Disapprove.
And the White House is proposing spending even more money on Porkulus 2.0. It’s the spending, stupid. And the deficits. And the debt. And the planned government takeover of everything.
This isn’t good news for The Anointed One either:
From an income perspective, the President’s ratings are weakest among those who earn $40,000 to $100,000 annually.
Thos are lower middle class voters who have had a target painted squarely on their backs by Obama and His merry band of Marxists and Democrats in Congress.
These are the people who showed up at town hall meetings and listening sessions over the summer and made their voices heard. These are also the people demonized by the White House and Congressional Democrats. Labeled an angry mob. Called Nazis and brownshirts. Accused of being paid “astroturfed” protesters being funded and orchestrated by Republicans and the insurance industry.
These people are angry. They have a right to be. They will be voting in 2010, and it’s no wonder why Democrats and enabling RINOs are nervous.
Ed Morrissey notes at Hot Air:
The flight of independents continues, in other words. They’re more disillusioned than the electorate as a whole, with a -28 on the index and more than a 2-1 showing for strongly disapproving to strongly approving. Among seniors, it’s -29, and even the under-30 crowd has him at a -2. According to Rasmussen, Obama has also lost the middle class, noting that his weakest income demographics come from earners between $40K – $100K per year.
“Worst. President. Ever.” may no longer be sufficient to describe this trainwreck.
After 11 months of Obama, I am nostalgic for the era of Bill Clinton. Heck, I even miss Jimmy Carter.
Too bad Google has gotten rid of Google bombs. The perfect Google bomb would be “Obama” and “epic FAIL.”
This has to be causing some sleepless night at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
If not, why are the Obamabots and their friends in the GOP Elite so intent on destroying Sarah Palin?
While Barack Hussein Obama crashes and burns in one opinion poll after another, the former Alaska governor has steadily built a stream of support since resigning her position.
As Jack Kelly writes at RealClearPolitics:
I’m sure a 6-year-old with a crayon could do something not unlike that,” snarked White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Tuesday.
The object of Mr. Gibbs’ scorn was Gallup’s tracking poll for the day before, which showed only 47 percent of respondents approve of the job President Barack Obama is doing, with 46 percent disapproving.
Perhaps Mr. Gibbs’ skin was thin because this was the lowest ranking for a president at this point in his presidency since Gallup began conducting presidential approval polls in 1938.
Meanwhile, a CNN/Opinion Research Poll also released Monday indicated 46 percent of respondents have a favorable impression of Sarah Palin, while 46 percent have an unfavorable one.
The polls were not quite the same. Gallup asked people what they thought of the job Mr. Obama was doing, not whether or not they liked him.
Even with that caveat, though, the convergence between Mr. Obama and Ms. Palin is remarkable. There is no statistical difference between the one and the other.
This represents a substantial gain in public esteem for Ms. Palin since she resigned as governor of Alaska in July, and a substantial decline for Mr. Obama over the same period.
Kelly goes on to talk about Palin’s appearance at the Gridiron Dinner, in which she wowed even her critics, to the point that Beltway journalists and spouses were asking for autographs.
“The very fact she was willing to take the chance of appearing in a room full of her most disdainful critics is testimony to her courage,” wrote Dan Thomasson of Scripps Howard. “She came away with at least a consensus of grudging admiration.”
“Her appearance produced the extraordinary scene of inside-the-Beltway cynics and their significant others asking for autographs,” Mr. Thomasson noted.
“Palin won the evening,” conceded columnist Clarence Page.
“As much as her politics are not mine, after chatting with her and her husband, good-natured ‘First Dude’ Todd Palin, I came away with a new fondness and respect for both of them,” Mr. Page wrote.
Stanley Fish of al-New York Times may have the insight into why Palin connects with so many people outside the Beltway elites:
Perseverance, the ability to absorb defeat without falling into defeatism, is the key to Palin’s character. Her political opponents, especially those who dismissed Ronald Reagan before he was elected, should take note.
Will Sarah Palin run in 2012? No one knows, probably not even she does. Right now, 2010 is the focus and she will be a heavyweight on the GOP side. Republicans running in winnable races are absolutely foolish not to have her come in.
Prediction: if she runs in 2012, she wins it all.
This is funny. Reminiscent of of the old Hoovervilles from the Depression Era. Appropriate, too, since we are in the worst economy since the Great Depression, brought to you by Our Lord and Savior and Congressional Democrats.
At a homeless camp in Colorado, someone has put up a professional sign which reads “Welcome to Obamaville.”
Seems the answer to the relevant question of “How’s that Hope and Change thing workin’ out for ya?” is painfully obvious.
