After two years in the White House, Obama is likely to find some old friends less friendly. [AP]
Eventually… have to stick a politician at the top. Anyway, I could not pass up this pic, which I snagged from People Mag. . .
What a precious peach, huh? Smile sweetie, show us the canines.
Slither and dither:
“The success of our economy will depend on your skills, but the success of our community will depend on your ability to follow the Golden Rule — to treat others as you would like to be treated,” he said.
“We’ve seen how important this is even in the past few weeks, as communities in Memphis and all across the South have banded together to deal with flood waters and to help each other in the aftermath of terrible tornadoes.”

And I moved this forward from the end of the last thread:
[O]bama’s presidency is the next logical step in eliminating whatever challenges to centralized power remain. If “progressives” didn’t balk at Clinton’s cruder corporate model, they sure as fuck aren’t abandoning Obama’s sleeker version. At this pace, we’ll eventually have a mass murdering lesbian president in a wheelchair. Liberals will rejoice (FDR and Eleanor in one!) while reactionaries curse political correctness. The country will be broke, but only nihilists will care. Politics is all about compromise, even if you have no power to negotiate. Freedom ain’t free
Forward, into the breach! We have nowhere else to go!!

That pic Dennis chose, in his post of the oBombster, was near perfect, almost as malevolent looking as a pic I saw beneath one of the oBombster’s: we will succeed on Mars photos, that near gave me nightmares …..well okay, it did.
So much to choose from there, people like Dennis, and many others (here, for one), make me feel like things aren’t all rotten:
Yeah, Obama (and, a seeming majority, at the upper echelons of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the US Government) is far worse than Trump, …and that’s saying something that many refuse to admit, … for the nightmares it might bring to them.
Somebody doesn’t like Obby as more and more pics like this and the others, turn up.
Yup, and how bout that excellent one that Black Agenda Report posted a while back ….with the huge goblet of White Wine, and the huge, cast in gold, razor taloned, predatory bird casting nailed to that podium.
Let alone that solar roofed, white lilyed, meeting with the Sly Con Valley Vizards shot ….
(barack uppercrust
… Obama At Tech Titan Dinner)
(referenced piccy: ….obama angry hands ….:0))
And perhaps I should qualify: the pics wouldn’t seem near so malevolent if oBombster didn’t usually appear absolutely absent of sympathy, in fact, bearing an enormous smile, as the citizens of the country he presides over, increasingly fall through the cracks, never to know another restful day, in their entire lives, …until, apparently, .they die.
…increasingly fall through the cracks
the country is one big crack.
Business groups to Obama: Drop order on contractor disclosure
They should be as transparent as Mr Opaque.
Even steven.
Oh Jeebus – Maddow with new details of the OBL killing. And now the WH is saying ‘Geronimo’ wasn’t about the mission at all! No! They were just at the letter ‘G’ – which, coincidentally, stands for Geronimo.
Can they just STFU already?
There are some nites I can’t stand her nattering. This is one of them.

What ever became of those people, the U.S. of A ‘mrkns?
The Americans? The Empire noted for its literature and cinema reflecting a mythically attainable life that none of their plebes could possibly afford? Oh, The plebes eventually deep fried them all in Scalamandré, with a nice fringe I might add. Sort of a Venetian filo thing.
I’m sure my friends that work at Conde Nast will just lurve that…

Well. 😳 I guess!

Little trickles of hope (and there are a few at Angry Arab, not just this one):
He also said that Al-Ahram, a Cairo weekly, has a long interview with an anti-Israeli Nasserite, and is now selling over a million copies, apparently way up from its previous numbers, under Mubarak.
Seems like today is ‘throw Cornel West under the bus’ day on the Dem blogs… I’ve never really been a fan of the man myself, but when Dem partisans cannot even tolerate his tepid criticisms of the administration you know they are just forever lost.
Did you read the Hedges piece on Cornel (and his disenchantment with obby)? With extensive quotes from him.
Yeah I never was a fan, but gosh golly gee.
What a self serving, self deluded idiot.
It’s a Truth Dig and should not be far down, think it was new this Monday.
For all of the reverential religious wackiness, they deserve each other…
Don’t they?
I have a much cruder take on why Brother Cornel was so drawn to Obby, than West’s own.
I’ve never understood how anyone, with any sense, could possibly think that a black man (or a woman, of any color), who amazingly managed to get elected while the Cheney/Bush Admin was having their way, instead of being locked up in jail – where the Legislative and Judicial branches of US Government should have placed them, if those branches were working as they were supposed to – could possibly think that that person was representative of an oppressed minority, or representative of anything else which bode well for average citizens.
soooo, instead of a representer of increasingly oppressed, ‘little’ people civilians, we got this, every bit as rotten as his precedents.
‘n’ …. Shack Bully, would be quite the understatement there, …to my mind, …. in fact, him and the wifie, … would be the ones, …at the very least, …. directing the <Shack Bullies …
(jus’ an opinion … plenty of them out there ….)
(That comment: ‘n’ …. Shack Bully,… was an additional thought on this comment: soooo, instead of a representer …, we got this…)
Well if you are speaking of L’Obster… he never represented any oppressed minority. Nor was he some great vaunted Community Organiser, he did [mostly] office work, for one, gathering stories at the various housing projects he was assigned to and crafting narratives from the stories.. etc…. you have to troll thru the online archives at big and small Chicago press, black and white, but the story is there.
he takes credit for getting asbestos removed from one of the projects, but thw work was done by long time on site community workers, 3 older black women in particular.
Etc.
that would be the target of my comments, more widely known as, Barack Obama, pretty much … a despot.
Even his “rage” was qualified. If Obby threw him half a bone (or just faked the throw), he’d be back in a nanosecond.
SMBIVA has a great piece up on Cornel and another of the cringing, lecturing grovellers. Melissa Harris Lacewell…
I am so damned tired of dealing with one major stressfest after another….
Just cehcking to let you all know that I’m still alive.
oh brinn… pour a glass of wine (beer, wine spritzer, whatever) and take 30 minutes OFF.
Not possible atm, well, the latter anyway, the former has been done! heh.
I think I may have gotten an apartment for the school zone issue…put in the app. today, now if my current landlord doesn’t screw me over and/or if they decide that they don’t want to rent to me for credit or income reasons, we should be set on that front…
Of course, just as I got home from that, I got an email from kid the younger’s school saying that they want to hold him back in 2nd grade….
And I still have and entire 4 BR house plus garage worth of stuff to sort/toss/pack and a course to prepare for (starts 6/13) that they have changed the textbook and completely revamped since the last time I taught it…oh, and other stuff…I can’t even remember anymore…
lighting candles… convening for novenas.

‘scuse my ignorance (I have been feeling mightily brain-damaged — hell, soul/spirit-damaged too!– lately, but “convening for novenas”?
If it goes with candles, I may be able to pull it off!
😉
Well I am teasing… Catholic Novenas… prayer groups of a sort. Special requests.
Not likely I’d be doing Catholic prayers, but I will hold a good thought!!
Hey, I’ll take whatever help I can get at this point!! 😉
Thanks, M.!!
ughhh, and hugs to you!
I’m feeling the same fucking way, so many assholes, so lucky I don’t own afucking gun, cause I might be tempted!
It seems to be a plan, certainly not a “bug,” that way too many of the few people getting/holding jobs, are basically hired/kept on because they have no integrity, and the worse they treat a customer, the more they’re rewarded.
oh yeah……….. if I owned a gun and the moment arrived, the right combnation, I’d use it.
I’m afraid I might too, if I owned one, at the rate at which so many companies have predatory employees on board that you’re forced to deal with because you need to have a given service to keep a fucking roof over your head.
Yesterday some mofo blatantly lied to me about a purchase I made, and way overcharged me. While management admitted that he did, and refunded me, they didn’t even reprimand him, which told me that he was following their desired policy. I did get the pleasure of loudly calling him a predator and a liar in front of a bunch of customers.
I recommend loud music and cold beer! LOTS of both!
sooprise! have those barf bags at the ready!
Obama plans to nominate Gallagher to be SEC commissioner
Looks like a thoroughly greased, 24/7 revolving door at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, or, as Matt Taibbi notes, SEC West:
(bolding mine)
shit, I’m sorry, can you put an end blockquote after …said in a recent interview. hon? thanks.
I read somewhere today that the WH has already suggested a West Winger for the IMF chair. A former Morgan Stanley guy.
It’s endless.
I really don’t understand how they can live with themselves and the misery they create. Seems that pretty soon the average age of death is really going to tank in this country, as there’s not only a disappearing safety net, but a criminal culture nurtured by their policies, and lack thereof.
Had to pop in for the latest ‘Obama Saves The Middle East!’ speechifying.
Handy that he finally slapped sanctions on Syria’s slaughtering regime, just in time for the speech.
This is his little OBL=dead end zone dance.
started 25 mins late……… they obvioiusly walked him thru this speech several times. But he is, frm time to time, slurring words.
Dear Foundling.
Can you just go on and on and on and on saying shit we’ve heard 20 gazillion times, Mr Obama, please? Thanks.
I have it on, but as soon as he says it it turns to drivel in my brain.
You ,and catnip, are far braver than I, I get too strong of a nasty, visceral reaction watching and listening to oBombster prattle on in code, for our Master’s of the Universe, to tune in.
…seems like decades since I regularly listened in, and “watched,” the nooz.
oh actually this speech was pretty interesting, in twisted ways…. am not sure how it will play… with the various groups.. I think the ME countries see thru him, the people i mean… and the others, leaders, just use us, collude with us and Israel. Send checks!!
It MAY have been a speech in response to the growing power of China, abroad in the world.. We’ll see….
But then I dragged myself thru W’s too. He always told me something. One spectacular speech was when he claimed we, by invading had delivered potable water at the tap for Iraques. When we actually took it away.
The last one I watched was the March 2003 “Press Conference,” days prior to bombing the fuck out of Iraq, with that faux black woman reporter, April, …the only reporter, to my recollect, he responded to:
and of course, the sociopathic spittleing,I, ME, Mine, followed:
or some such similar.
oh April asked if he had prayed on what was to come.
:0):0):0):0)
:0):0):0)
:0):0)
:0)
do you have the transcript hon?, I might, but a search might prove difficult.
I spent quite a while searching for a Reporter named April, quite a while back, ….oopsie, ….she must be around somewhere? …. right?
I don’t save anything anymore… and a 2003 link is two computers ago. Maybe you can search for WH briefings Bush 2003… see what comes up.
IF she is sthe one I m thinking of, she is a softball questioner…black reporter, reports for radio, somehwere inland. Like Ohio or Illinois. Might have been black radio, in fact.
she is the one you’re thinking of, I remember that ugly “religiousity,” very, very clearly.
and yeah, unlike the other Reporters who were highly vetted as to their “Major Media” pedigrees, she amazingly slipped through that door.
will see what I can find as to transcript, but it may take a bit.
oh I thought she was there for a reason, that was my take. She always lobbed soft balls. Always.
Found this, seemingly edited, version of the the March 6, 2003 transcript. For one, the This is scripted comment to CNN reporter John King, is not included:
I also found this Eric Boehlart summary of that farce:
(It’s really too bad, from what I’ve seen, briefly poking around at Media Matters, Eric Boehlert dosen’t appear to have any journalistic integrity when it comes to the scathing criticism Obama so richly deserves as much as Bush, instead, he appears quite satisfied with going after the fruit already rotted on the ground, like Beck. Perhaps he’ll comment on that convenient ‘blind spot’, three years after the fact.)
oh I think MM is a jackass organisation. Never could stand the weak little turn coat who heads it (cannot think of his name). I read a GREAT take down of him at Redstate, years ago….., that made perfect sense to me.
He exists simply to insert himself, promise a lot and get as much mooney (well that was a typo but it works!) as he can from whatever political party he is currently calling home.
The Media Matters site, from a quick glance, appeared to be the, typical democRat, hat pin to the vital organ from the back, as one is being gut punched from the reThuglicans from the front – hopey, changey dribble….As those two creepy twins walk off with “the currency” we’re all forced to muster up in order to have shelter and sustenance…….let alone the pursuit of happiness …have I spelled happiness wrong? ….no fuckin small wonder if I didn’t, …as I can barely remember what it means.
Went to see if Matt Taibbi updated re the Gallagher: from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, again, … back to the SEC, again, appointment …..(he did) ….when I saw this fresh post:
Wall Street’s Next Big Short: China?
too true, …. and more.
China’s been an artificial bubble for a long time. Cheap labor, no environmental standards, etc have allowed them to pull enough money into the country to build empty cities and keep GDP growing. That’s how Ponzi schemes work: as long as you can pull more money in. But there’s always more destitute countries that can do it cheaper and pretty soon the inflow won’t be enough to keep the game going. I’m sure Goldman has plenty of people on the inside (or close enough) to know how bad things are really getting. It pays to notice where these rats are running away from.
NY Grand Jury indicts ham sandwich…… (DSK)
not at all to see he wasn’t every bit the predator as painted, …but ..yeah, there is a huge whiff of you’re dispensable there.

Awwwww,……..and I thought you wewe my fwends?

Stuff like this really pisses me off, but at the same time at this point my life is an open book for anyone who cared to research it given that I never used a handle at the bbb’s in the ’90’s and have always linked my handle to things that could identify me… Not to mention I’m under constant surveillance by cameras in new York….
I gave up on the whole idea of privacy a long, long time ago.
Well, the battle is on if ya ask me.
Between the Robo-Cops and the ‘mrkn peepuhl longing for Life, Liberty, and, of course, a Robo-Cop converted to electro-mechanical sex toy in the privacy of their own home.
(It certainly should be framed as such.)
Time to Win This Future up in heya.
Actually, “sex toy” should read “mongo-fucker”.
I caught a few mins of Jimmy Kimmel…and laughed pretty hard at the Arnold jokes – speaking of electro mechanical ssex toys…. LOL
I think one joke called him the Childinator.
