The Occupier of the Office of The President-Elect Barry Oprah reveals his National Suckurity Team, which of course includes Mrs. Bill Clinton, a fervent rival who roundly criticized The President-Defect during the primaries, but now: BFF!
Mr. Obama essentially said Americans should not take too seriously some of the things said during “the heat of a campaign.”
Really, Mr. Oprah, sir? It will be quite interesting to see just exactly how far you get with that ticket once you step into the Oval Office and find out how utterly unprepared you are for the job (and that it’s a smoke-free workplace), and start doing the math on all the promises you made to win the White House for the people who’d been waiting for you to be the people for whom they were waiting.
Some examples I think you’ll have an unfunny challenge with:
- Give a tax break to 95% of Americans (better hurry up, you don’t want to piss off 95% of Americans – especially those clinging to their guns)
- “If you make under $250,000, you will not see your taxes increase by a single dime. Not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes. Nothing.” (“Read My Lips?” I wonder how he will be paying for the expanded child and dependent care tax credit, the expanded earned income tax credit, the universal mortgage credit, the $1,000 emergency energy rebate to families, weatherizing 1 million homes annually, and lowering health care costs for the typical family by $2,500 a year?)
- Dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes (a lot of people that voted for Obama think tax returns are actually grant applications; why bother with filing? Let’s just give them all government debit cards)
- Match 50% of retirement savings up to $1,000 for families earning less than $75,000 (because saving for your retirement shouldn’t be so hard, or even your own responsibility – behold, the C.R.A. of the retirement industry)
- Give American businesses a $3,000 tax credit for every job they create in the U.S. (unless they make more than
$250,000$150,000$100,000$75,000) - Make employers offer seven paid sick days per year (Mr. Carter sir, can we just combine #5 and #6? Why don’t you just give the $3000 directly to the sickly so we don’t have to hire him; and why stop at seven? Seems so arbitrary. Besides, work is hard. People should have the right to work, or not work)
- Sign into law an employee free choice act — aka card check — to make it easier for unions to organize (that way once the Unions are done destroying the airline and automotive industries they can move on to retail, hospitality, and health care)
- Cut spending on unproven missile defense systems (Let’s wait until a missile destroys New York City)
- Demand higher standards and more accountability from our teachers (best wait until your second term for that one – let ’em all vote for you one more time first)
- Go through the budget, line by line, ending programs we don’t need (like the military?) and making the ones we do need (like the pork in Illinois, only bigger and better, Senator?) work better and cost less
Just put the budget up on a teleprompter. He won’t Change anything, but at least some of us will feel better about it.
And more whining cause JRoosh is oppressing you, angryclown. Do we need a whaaambulance here?
And isn’t that $3000 tax credit per created job the most pathetic incentive ever devised?
Ah yes, Clownie doing his “One legged man in a butt-kicking contest” routine. Most amusing.
I must object to Peevish Boy characterizing SItD as “It is (outside perhaps Pair O’ Deadsite) the most hate-filled, uncharitable, judgemental site going, especially among its sychophantic commenters.”
I think A.S. far surpasses Berg and Roosh in this prized category. We will never achieve the level attained by Democratic Underground, DKos or HuffPo, but there is much to be said for having something to shoot for.
And our “sychophantic commenters” kick ass.
Peev just wishes he had more than one sycophantic commenter at his site. It’s a little weird reading the two of them gazing wistfully in to Peeve’s navel.
As far as the most hate-filled, uncharitable, judgemental commenters… If Peeve & AC left here, that problem would be taken care of!
No attacks on Mr. Shirt, folks? He makes the same argument as I would make.
Sticking with the “Alabama” line, Roosh? Or maybe Terry’s diminutive nickname argument will work better (although why Obama is the only one whose last name is changed, I don’t know).
Hey, in the end you can use whatever you like. If you didn’t mean any offense, you’d stick with “Obammy.” You’re just pissed you got called on it.
Obammy, how I love ya, how I love ya, my dear ole Obammy! I’d give the world to see, you up in charge in, good old Washington of DC.
My heart’s waitin for you, prayin for you, my dear Obammy! The folks in Chi-Town will see me no more, when I step on Obammy’s shore….
Hey, in the end you can use whatever you like.
Gee, thanks Buttocks of Blisteria. I’m all Hopey-Changey now.
If you didn’t mean any offense, you’d stick with “Obammy.” You’re just pissed you got called on it.
No, actually I think you’re pissed that you write something on your “blog” and get nuttin’ honey.
I post pure drivel on SITD and get 55 comments, a good many from Libs projecting their own racism because I dared to put a “Y” on the end of a public figure’s name, inadvertently effecting a rhyme with the name of a character from years before I was born and I really, truly care not if you or anyone else believes that. It’s actually pretty funny watching you guys trip over each other vying for the “high ground” defending your messiah’s honor.
Again, I “dropped” Obammy because it didn’t win the poll; “Oprah” and “Jimmy Carter” are the new Obammy. I reserve the right to use it again in the future, and I’m certain I’ll not be in need of your approval.
…besides, I think Kermit outflanked me and copyrighted it.
It’s actually pretty funny watching you guys trip over each other vying for the “high ground” defending your messiah’s honor.
Whoa!!! Don’t get me mixed in with that crowd! I just think we should understand the impression that using “Obammy” conjures.
OK Mr. Shammy.
Ohhhhhhh, jeeeeeeeeeeez.
Dopey me. I did it again. Is that racist? Have I offended? Let me check my notes from Grand Wizard Duke and see if he wrote me a note with “Shammy” on it. I’ll get back to you.
That was AC’s wisdom… I’m the one who said I doubt that anyone here had racist motives in mind when using “Obammy”.
And that would be Mr Shimmy or Mr. Shirry… for consistancy.
As someone who is descended from generations of Missouri dirt farmers, am I allowed to say that I despise Obama because he is descended from despicable jayhawk free-soilers? Or is that racist?
“It’s actually pretty funny watching you guys trip over each other vying for the `high ground’ defending your messiah’s honor.”
Nope, just calling you on a lie. I’m confident you understood the racial overtones of “Obammy.” And I know you lied when you backpedaled away after even wingnuts were calling you on it.
As I explained in detail in that post you threw down the “memory hole.”
after even wingnuts were calling you on it.
Still “shunning” me I see…
Mr. Shirt, he shunned you just before he left . . .
FOREVER!
Shirt, you now see what happens when you disagree with your own. They’ll throw you to the wolves if you dare question their brilliance. Kind of like Obama supporters. It happens to me on the left all the time.
If I cared about traffic, I’d shoot myself. Four visitors who aren’t looking for a picture of a baby monkey is surely not enough to sustain life.
And “Buttocks of Blisteria,” Roosh? That’s swiftee-like genius. You’ll be making fun of gays and claiming that anyone who doesn’t agree with you should be rounded up in no time at all. Don’t worry when your spelling ability decreases, it’s a normal part of the process. In the end, when your posts consist of nothing but typed laughing, at least you’ll know what happened.
You picked a real winner here, Mitch.
Yeah, Stooj, Angryclown was thinking maybe JDoosh would turn out to be the reasonable one. Looks like they have a bad cop, bad stupid cop thing going on.
DiscordianStooj,
I spent the first 22 years of my life on the far left. I know what it’s about, & I reassure you, if you ever decide that maybe anthropogenic global warming could be an overblown claim, or that the ozone hole might be a natural occurrence, since no body ever has observed the layer without a hole, or if you decide that perhaps an unborn child may be an individual upon himself & therefore worthy of rights equal to that of the woman who carries him, then you’d have far more than wolves to deal with.
The people here are upset because AC & Peev decided to claim (again) that they were racist & using the term “Obammy” was proof. This tactic is very lame & tiring and will always set up barriers of us vs. them & gets nothing accomplished.
I’m positive most of the people who have used “Obammy” don’t realize the connotation of the word. I only tried to show them why it’s best to abandon the term because it has obvious deep-rooted racist overtones. The problem is AC & Peev had already whacked the hornet’s nest.
JRoosh, when is the Five Minutes of Hate scheduled for Mr. Shirt? Last time it happened during choir practice and that just don’t seem right to me.
DiscordianStooj, I believe it was Mitch who endorsed Castro’s technique of rounding up aids infected gays and putting them in camps. AC, Nietzsche was driven mad by the sight of a man flogging a dead horse in the streets of Vienna. Now I know how he felt.
“Screw you, wingnuts. You want Obama to keep ever single campaign promise in the middle of a huge Republican recession? While your guy will leave office without taking down bin Laden,”
Oh, where to start. Actually, I’m good with him breaking as many campaign promises as possible. It’s just kind of funny your side elected him and now is surprised promises are being broken. Also, who was in charge of the checkbook these last couple of years of this “republican” recession? bin Laden has been stuck, crushed in a cave somewhere the past few years, that not good enough for you?
I wonder if it is okay with clown, et al, if we accidentally kill a few terrorists who are not Osama Bin Laden while we hunt him down in Macacastan or wherever.
Mr. Shirt, he shunned you just before he left . . .
FOREVER!
At least until the next time…
Terry wondered: “I wonder if it is okay with clown, et al, if we accidentally kill a few terrorists who are not Osama Bin Laden while we hunt him down in Macacastan or wherever.”
Sure, but you only have 47 days, so maybe get working on that, ‘kay? We’ll also accept Mullah Omar and Ayman al Zawahiri.
Oh, and how about that Middle East peace you guys were gonna put together this year?
Change. Hope. Seltzer.
When I wrote ‘we’ clown, I meant “America” not the GOP. I know it’s hard to believe when you are a librul, but there are still people who think of themselves as Americans first, party affiliation second.
I imagine Bush’s Mideast Peace Plan (not mine, nor any conservative other than Bush that I can think of) is in the same limbo as Bill Clinton’s.
We’ll see where we are in 4 years. Jimmy Carter’s second term is about to start, boy was his first ever a boon to world peace! Ready for “enlightened” pacifist foreign policy maneuvers like tying yellow ribbons around trees to show the Iranians that we really want our hostages back, & we mean it? Gas lines were fun too! And who can forget the “misery index”?
Good thing everyone was stoned & listening to disco music, otherwise they might have realized how crappy leftism can be.
