Obama's Epic Fail

"I'm not going to back down on the basic principle that if Americans can't find affordable coverage we're going to provide you a choice." -- Barack Obama, September 13, 2009


During his Oprah Winfrey interview, President Obama awarded himself a B+ for his first year in office. He quickly noted that if he got a "win" on health care, his grade would rise to an A.

Well, I agree. But in my grade book, the "B" stands for BANK BAIL-OUTS and the "A" stands for AFGHANISTAN SURGE.

Additionally, Obama's cautious compromising with conservatives earns him a C for CAPITULATING on every major issue. I would also give this presidential pretender a D for his DISGRACEFUL DUPLICITY on health care reform. Ted Kennedy is rolling in his grave.

Added together with the grades of "I" for INSINCERITY and "W" for WASTED OPPORTUNITY AFTER GEORGE W. -- I give Obama's first year an F for FUCKED UP FAILURE.

Yes, I still believe in a place called Hope. The significance of Obama's historic burst through America's racial social barrier will never be diminished. It cannot be, not even by Obama himself.

But class is over. With his flip-flop on the "basic principle" of a heath care public option, I've learned all I needed to learn. Barack Obama doesn't make the grade. He will not be asked back for another term.

"My commitment is to make sure that we’ve got universal health care for all Americans by the end of my first term as President. I would hope that we set up a system that allows those who can go to their employer to access a federal system or a state pool of some sort."
-- Obama, March 24, 2007

"An additional step we can take to keep insurance companies honest is by making a not-for-profit public option available."
-- Obama, September 9, 2009

"I think one of the options should be a public insurance option. Let me clear. It would only be an option, nobody would be forced to choose it. No one with insurance affected by it. But what it would do is provide more choice and more competition. It would keep pressure on private insurers to keep the policies affordable, to treat their customers better . . . Minnesota I have said I'm open to different ideas on how to set this up -- but I'm not going to back down on the basic principle that if Americans can't find affordable coverage we're going to provide you a choice."
-- Obama, September 13, 2009, Minneapolis


"Whatever the bill you least like would set up an exchange so that people right now who are having to try to bargain for health insurance on their own are suddenly part of a pool of millions that forces insurance companies to compete for their business and give them better deals and lower rates."
-- Obama, October 20, 2009

Change

Well, it's 9/12 and that makes it official . . .

Dignified, diplomatic President Obama has now kept America safe longer than George W. Bush and the chest-thumping chicken hawks from the previous administration.


Despite dire predictions from Dick Cheney and his daughter, Dickless Cheney, terrorists have not "tested" our new President. On the contrary, there's now proof that we're winning the war on terror -- which was always acknowleged as a battle for hearts and minds. The world's opinion of America has substantially improved.

The organization, World Public Opinion, has released some astounding statistics. Their polling data regularly showed that Bush was one of the least trusted leaders in the world. In a total reversal, WorldPublicOpinion.org polls now reveal that President Obama inspires far more confidence than any other political leader on the planet.

And in another global vote of confidence in America, Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

That's real change.

Coleman Concedes

Ending the longest election in Minnesota history, Norm Coleman concedes he has lost. In a related headline, scientists have declared the Earth is not flat.

Wall Street Welfare Queens

Government didn't get us to where we are today. It was the PRIVATE SECTOR! Unbridled greed and corruption from 20 years of deregulation is to blame. We have lost confidence in the PRIVATE SECTOR! Unfortunately government has to step in to fix it. Can you imagine if we would have gone ahead and privatized SS? Until the PRIVATE SECTOR cleans up their act we have no choice. The PRIVATE SECTOR has dismantled any and all rules to play fair. It's a giant ponzi scheme.

I don't want government interference in my life nor do I want certain segments of your party excluding tax paying gay people from getting their fair share(but I digress). Maybe I've been lucky because I've never felt government breathing down my neck. Until Wall Street cleans up their act....BOO.....HOO! "

Dog - Whistle Politics

Apparently, Alabama Senator, Richard Shelby, isn't sure if Barack Obama is qualified to be President.

It's not that Shelby doubts a Black American is fit to run the White House. . . Mr. Shelby simply doubts that Obama is an American at all.

In a recent meeting with Alabama voters, the Senator declared that he opposed the economic stimulus bill Obama signed into law.

During the meeting, Shelby gave new life to an old lie by questioning President Obama's citizenship. When asked whether there was any truth to the ridiculous campaign rumor that Obama was not legally qualified to serve, Shelby carefully remarked:

"Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven't seen any birth certificate. You have to be born in America to be president."

These latest shallow comments from the deep South Senator have raised questions about his own qualifications to hold office.

Shelby has since denied the obvious implications of his statement -- saying his words were distorted and inaccurately reported in the press.

However, the Cullman Times newspaper stands by their story saying, "We reported Shelby's comments on Obama's birth certificate accurately and completely." Several people who attended Shelby's meeting have now confirmed that the Senator made his statements without hesitation and without a trace of humor.

So not only is Mr. Shelby a vicious little gossip -- he's also a big, fat liar.

Maybe the good ol boy hasn't "seen any birth certificate" but if he truly believes Barack Obama isn't constitutionally fit to serve -- then the Senator has a duty to look at the birth certificate. And it isn't hard to find.

According to the Associated Press, state officials in Hawaii checked health department records during the campaign and determined there was no doubt Obama was born in Hawaii.

Richard Shelby surely doesn't doubt that Hawaii is part of America.

And it's no surprise Senator Shelby opposes the President's economic stimulus program. Checking the records . . . Alabama's poverty rate is the 6th worst in country.

May I have the envelope, please?

It's that time again folks! Time to announce the names of those who've carved out a spot as nominee for Bill Garr's Biggest Turkey of the Year Award®.

Many in 2008 have served up their failures and flawed intelligence, but only one person has flopped big enough to be flipped the Eternal Bird. This year's finalists and their unique recipes for disaster are . . .

• Ted Stevens . . . Baked Alaska
• Senator Joe Lieberman . . . Eggs Benedict

And now with great relish, I present the winner of Bill Garr's Biggest Turkey of the Year Award® 2008. Nominated for his Country Fried, Overcooked Goose dipped in red sauce, the Eternal Bird goes to . . . Senator John "bomb bomb bomb" McCain!

McCain's Propaganda Bombs

The newest RNC mailer with the Ayres connection is ridiculous:

"His group was finally stopped when a bomb to be detonated at a US Army dance prematurely exploded, putting Ayres on the run and his current wife on the FBI's Most Wanted list. Then Wlliam Ayres became a friend, colleague and supporter of Barack Obama . . ."

 Obama was 8 years old at the time! After their crime spree they immediately befriended an 8 year old Black child?!

Smoke, Mirrors, Lies and Distraction. Nothing about the issues. Put a fork in it John, it's over!

The REAL John McCain

It is reported that John McCain is a traitor to the American people. He made 32 propaganda films for the Vietnamese government. He also immediately began spilling his guts about locations of American troops and the flight paths of our aircraft because he was afraid of being tortured.

The Vietnamese named him Song Bird. There is no determination of how many Americans were killed as a result of his cowardice and treason. These documents need to be shown to the American people. It's their right to know. People just don't come dirtier than this. The man is a complete fraud.
