The First Obama Term

I find it surprising that anybody believes campaign promises.

He even stopped playing golf in 2003 because he didn't feel it was the correct image for a President to be playing golf while Americans were at war.

And it was a little unexpected to me that this vacation discussion is happening because I said he doesn't have the stomach for all the criticism.

9/11 was actually in 2001, not 2002. We're currently at the point of 8/25/2002 in the Bush years. If he did all of that vacationing pre-9/11, then he was never even in the white house until 19 days after 9/11.

Thank you for clarifying that. I take it all back, Obama is amazing.

Is there anything good we can point at in his Presidency, or is it just going to be "he doesn't suck THAT" much" for the next couple years?

There are cynical things I can say about it, but any tax cuts are good tax cuts.

I can't decide between:
1) Let's work together to end her long, personal hell.
or
2) It's hell for us too, bitch.

In a new authorized biography, French First Lady Carla Bruni claims U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama told her that life in the White House is “hell.”

“Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!” Bruni says Michelle Obama told her after being asked about life as the wife of the president during a Sarkozy family visit to the White House in March.

The account, first reported by London’s Daily Mail, appears in a new book “Carla And The Ambitious,” written by French journalists Michael Darmon and Yves Derai in cooperation with Ms. Bruni.

For the first time in her life she is proud of her country... and now she is in 'hell.'

What a tough life she has had.

I'll bet it is hell and having security in every room. Wonder if there are tapes of every president banging his wife. Oh Ronnie oh Ronie, Oh God Ronnieeeeee. Scary. Must be hell.

Ain't no one put a gun to her head and told her, "Alright, you're going to be first lady, right? No problem with that, right?"

Must be a rough fucking life to have your every potential need thought of, being treated as close to royalty as this country allows.

Coming from the White House, so I'll put it in the Obama thread:

<s>Global Warming</s>

<s>Climate Change</s>

GLOBAL CLIMATE DISRUPTION.

I bet this trip was especially hard for her.

Andrea Tantaros has penned a scorching editorial for the New York Daily News deeming First Lady Michelle Obama a "modern-day Marie Antoinette" for her vacation in Spain with her daughter.

"The First Lady is spending the next few days in a five-star hotel on the chic Costa del Sol in southern Spain with 40 of her 'closest friends,'" Tantaros writes, pointing to a CNN report that Michelle Obama and her group are expected to occupy 60 to 70 rooms. "Not exactly what one would call cutting back in troubled times."

"Every time we're digging our cars out -- what global warming?" he said. "(Global climate disruption is) more of a sort of generic blanket term, I guess, that can apply in all weather conditions."

No. You don't get to do that. All of this crap is based on greenhouse gases and the theory that the earth will bake because of them. You don't get to then turn around and talk about how maybe that'll make an ice age instead.

If you want to talk about completely different problems with different causes, fine, but you can't roll it all up together into one thing like that, not when the causes and problems are polar opposites.

This move shows that the issues here are 100% political and 0% scientific.

Obama is still whining like a child about Fox News:

http://www.mediaite.com/online....country

Look, as president, I swore to uphold the Constitution, and part of that Constitution is a free press. We’ve got a tradition in this country of a press that oftentimes is opinionated. The golden age of an objective press was a pretty narrow span of time in our history. Before that, you had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition — it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It’s a point of view that I disagree with. It’s a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world. But as an economic enterprise, it’s been wildly successful. And I suspect that if you ask Mr. Murdoch what his number-one concern is, it’s that Fox is very successful.

I bet it was hard for the interviewer to ask questions, what with Obama's cock in his mouth the whole time.

a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world.

That statement right there proves he's either a fucking moron or a lying prick.

In related news, I was going to follow that statement up with an article released today titled: "Census finds record gap between rich and poor". (Proving Obama is full of shit.)

However, upon reloading that article I have found the title changed to: Census data: Weddings in 2009 at record low level.

That's quite an interesting title change. And FYI: that original topic can be found 7 paragraphs into this newly titled article.
