Obama: "Mutts Like Me"

[MJZiggy]

I think this is priceless. I looked at the local news site just now and their top story (big headline) at the moment is that Barack Obama honored veterans for Veterans day. Then below it, there's a small link to a story about our current president doing the same thing. Shouldn't the dude still in power still get SOME press? Maybe it has to do with his popularity ranking, but dude shouldn't be completely marginalized just yet.

It's gonna be quite the honeymoon.

swede likes his goldendoodles.

They are beautiful mutts, like the chosen one himself.

How big do those get...lb wise?

The one I met was 3 years old and 40 lbs, tops.

Let's just make sure we don't make the mistake of calling Obama "dude." I think "His Royal Highness" is more in order....

Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope. Barack Obama never talks about how people see him: I'm not the one making history, he said every chance he got. You are. Yet as he looked out Tuesday night through the bulletproof glass, in a park named for a Civil War general, he had to see the truth on people's faces. We are the ones we've been waiting for, he liked to say, but people were waiting for him, waiting for someone to finish what a King began.

I don't know, Howard, from all I've seen, he seems to be refusing the coronation and settling for the presidency.

He just laid out an ethics standard for everyone on the transition team that they have to agree to before starting work on the team, posted the names of the team on the transition website, and is starting a list of the people who will start going through the government agency by agency on Monday. And their names and bios will be on the website as well before they ever go into an office. If you like nothing else about the man, at least he's organized and determined to have transparency.

I actually have nothing against the man. I especially was pleased to hear him open up near the end of the campaign about his true beliefs. I do have something against the media. They just ain't that bright.

Hence they lead with the president-elect rather than the president...

Let's be sure it is transparency and not a holographic screen that we are seeing.

Al-Qaida welcomes Obama with racial slurs

Al-Qaeda vows to hurt Obama's US

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7737710.stm

"Zawahiri also criticised Mr Obama - whose father is Muslim - for betraying the Islamic world.

"You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America," he said.

Mr Obama was not an "honourable black American" like Malcolm X, he said, but an "abeed al-beit" - a word that translates as house slave but was rendered "house negro" in the message's English subtitles.

The audio was accompanied by footage of a speech by Malcolm X in which he distinguished between "field negroes" who hated their white masters and "house negroes" who, he said, were loyal to them."

It's a racial slur, lib; the greatest sin in your tolerant and non-judgmental universe.

Why that might be enough to change your mind about "an unjust and illegal" war.

hoosier, which is worse, the Mormon church or al-Qaida?

Tolerant? You must have me confused with someone else. But the interesting point--which you of course completely overlook in the midst of your permanent evangelical delirium--is that Al Qaeda is shitting bricks now at the prospect that, under an Obama Administration, the US will no longer be regarded by much of the world as a rogue state. If that happens, there goes Al Qaeda's biggest recruiting pitch.

Muhammed: So Ahmad, are you ready to sign up for a three year hitch fighting jihad in Iraq against the Great Satan. Sign today and we throw in this sweet MP3 player.

Ahmad: By the beard of Allah, NO! Have you not heard that Barack Hussein Obama now rules in Washington? The infidels have chosen well. I will not bear arms against this great man, this One for whom we have been waiting.

Muhammed: Well then, cursed dog on the infidel's chain, you are back on the social events committee! It's Hasaan's birthday on Monday. Make sure there's cake.

Ahmad: This isn't the change I was hoping for!

Besides you, Ward Churchill, Bill Ayers, Code Pink and Michelle Obama, who sees the US "as a rogue state?"

Liberals hate America and they project their beliefs on everyone else. What "much of the world" thinks is what really matters to them. No substance, just fluff.

Don't worry, the US is on its way towards second-class status. Obama and the Democrats will do for the military and national security what they are doing to the economy.

We'll get Gitmo closed and put the detainees into the domestic court system. We'll confer on foreigners captured in a battle zone the same rights as American citizens. Maybe we'll get a few US soldiers convicted and sent to prison for violating their rights. That'll humble the military and make Europe respect us more.

What lofty goals you have "under an Obama administration."

Yes, Kiwon, the liberal boogeymen are out to screw your country. I hope you sleep with a night light.
