Looking Fabulous While Rome Burns
By Mitch Berg
The wheels are coming off the credit system. Times are uncertain. The nation may be on the brink of electing an unqualified Democrat dillettante and demigogue who will likely be, on Inauguration Day, the worst president of my adult lifetime. Things are just plain crazy out there.
And in situations like this, nothing takes the mind of ones’ troubles like seeing what happens when money and end-stage spyrochaetal paresis mix.

As opposed to electing (in Bush) a profoundly dishonest, Mesianic, unqualified, demigogic dillettante who absolutely WAS the worst President of our adult lifetimes, and you voted for him TWICE.
But you, in your never to be disuaded way, fail to see the culprit, is you – and your faith-based adherence to messages like supply-sideism and offshoring euphoria.

But please do remember, when you refer to him to refer to him as PRESIDENT OBAMA, you know, the President of the United States, your President – as you have reminded me from time to time.

Context is like kryptonite to you, isn’t it peev?

Trying to shirk some Democratic Party responsibility, penigma? George W. Bushs two term presidency was made possible by two things:
1) Al Gore
2) John Kerry
The list of culprits, it seems, includes you.

4) The Tics’ innate inability to look at the elephant in their own room.

Assuming he wins? Of course; you respect the office, if not the man – something you’ve failed miserably at, consistently.
If Obama wins – I’d say there’s a fair chance he will – he will likely be the worst president of my adult lifetime the moment he’s sworn in. And yet I will NEVER indulge in the kind of sneering, petulant, ignorant hatred that Bush’s enemies – yourself
includedemphasized – have sunk into.There’s a rather large post coming up on that very topic, pretty quick here.

Obama probably excels at big-city politics. His style is to assemble a team and get them to work together on a single, achievable and documentable goal. Usually this goal is to milk money from some group and spend it on something that’s important to Obama and his team — like enhancing their careers or building some piece of civic infrastructure that is popular only with the people who get paid to build it, and the pol’s who can get their pictures taken standing in front of it at a dedication ceremony. Makes for a nice image on the cover of a newsletter.
How this would work in the White House I have no idea. For the first time Obama would have to actually balance diverse interests. My guess is that he would stick to this consensus team building no matter what since it’s served him so well in the past.

Notice in the pictures that Mr. Cardin isn’t wearing any of the, um, junk he invented. Yes, Peev, decadence is a sign that our culture is in some trouble. Read your western civ, man.

Gee, angryclown, why don’t you just call me a racist with nothing to back it up. Oh yeah, that’s right: you routinely do.

As opposed to electing (in Bush) …
Peev needs to go on America’s Got Talent and and showcase his remarkable ability to ram his head up his ass SO far that a good sneeze would make him look 6 months pregnant.
I’ve said it before, for all the Dumbya’s, Shrubbies and Chimpy McBusHitler/McCheneyHaliburtons that the leftards (and I mean that endearment in the STRONGEST possible terms) have throw about in the last 8 years, they have (infinity) fingers pointing back at them when they scream bloody murder about stuff like Peev is spewing forth here.
Words don’t exist to describe the mind-numbing abiltiy of the peevish one to be the deaf, dumb and blind hypocrite accusing everyone else of being hypocrites who hypocritically hypocritize (October 7th, National Invent-a-Word Day) everything possible into hypocritical hypocrisy.

Peev screams bloody murder if you just give Obama’s full name.
Hey Peev! His name is Barack Hussein Obama! Barack Hussein Obama! He’s your guy, tell him to change his @#$% name if you don’t like it!
