I’ll admit, one of Obama’s first statements today when addressing the House GOP during their retreat sent me to Dictionary.com.
“If you were to listen to the debate and, frankly, how some of you went after this bill, you’d think that this thing was some Bolshevik plot.”
Excuse my lack of intellectualism. But at least we know Obama is always educational. After learning about Bolshevism, now I wonder if that was some kind of Freudian slip.
Oh, we’re just crazy with the ideologue terms today.
And speaking of ideologue, that’s exactly what Obama demands we stop thinking about him. Demands? Yes. It’s all there in his tone. So that leads us to another thought…we’re getting downright cerebral…isn’t his tone rather indicative of a ideologue?
“I am not an ideologue.”
The rounded curve of his full-bodied chin drops, punctuating the incontrovertible statement. Eyebrows raise as he shrugs his shoulders to slough away the plausibility.
“I’m not.”
Cue swelling music. Cue young children smiling. Cue ocean waters receding.
How substantive. How powerful. Huffington Post, their fingers tingling, entitled their story, “Obama Goes To The Lions Den – And Mauls The Lions.”
The One has returned. Oh, but now he’s also Daniel. Tomorrow he’ll be Moses. There’s no end to the man’s rebukes reaching Biblical proportions. Forget health care. He’ll just touch the lame and they will walk, heading straight to the polls to vote Democrat in the mid-terms.
For roughly an hour and a half, Obama lectured GOP leaders and, in a protracted, nationally-televised question-and-answer session, deflected their policy critiques, corrected their misstatements and scolded them for playing petty politics.
I’ll give Huffington Post credit. They did get a few items right here. He did lecture. He definitely scolded. And pettiness ran amuck, all stemming from exalted lips of The Great One.
Even GOP aides, taking their cues from someone other than me, are saying it was a mistake to allow cameras in the meeting.
All is lost. We knew all it would take for the public to once again genuflect at a bobblehead doll of The One would be another speech. If he could only scold anyone who disagrees with him and demand they cease their dissent, the American public would turn that frown upside down.
These people need to get out more.
What Obama and his minions are proving today, yet again, is their complete disconnect with the tone and frustration of the American public. And sadly, any GOP who thought another O speech could affect voters isn’t getting it either.
Talking does not produce jobs. It doesn’t reduce taxes. It will not ease the burden of the massive unemployed. It doesn’t make for cheaper fuel, real affordable health care, spur entrepreneurship, create substantive hope, or even butter your bread.
What Obama said today is nothing new, it’s exactly what the American public have come to expect from Daddy-in-Chief: a reprimand. He’ll smack our hands and spank our little bottoms and tell us to go to our room until we can see the world as he sees it.
So forget the Bolshevik plot. I think it’s more like a Dictator complex.

Obama is the most ARROGANT, disgraceful and ineffective little basta*d to ever hold the office of president. He is a national and global laughing stock and it is a joy watching it.
He is so toxic to the democratic party (not to mention the country) that I wouldn’t be surprised if they march into the oval office and demand his resignation. Of course we would then have a president Biden but little Joey will do just as he is told. I can see Hillary being appointed Vice President and at that time it’s quite possible that Joey will meet with an accident.
Couldn’t happen you say……stand by.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Wow, Tara Lynn, great article and so timely. People’s heads are spinning in disbelief at the utter arrogance of this man.
Yes, I know, we all KNOW he’s arrogant. That’s a given. Its the MAGNITUDE of his arrogance that just staggers us when its so obviously displayed in front of us.
It doesn’t surprise me that he references the Bolsheviks. He’s fascination with all things Russian and Soviet Union. I believe he’s the only President to appoint ‘Czars’. We laughed when that was first mentioned, but he actually did it and kept doing it.
I wonder if his dream is turning the USA into the USSR.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
@Tara Lynn,
Found this little tidbit and wanted to share it. From some non-descript AP story:
“We’ve got to be careful about what we say about each other sometimes, because it boxes us in in ways that makes it difficult for us to work together because our constituents start believing us,” Obama said. “So just a tone of civility instead of slash-and-burn would be helpful.”
Note: …”because our constituents start believing us…” In other words, all this talk about me being a Socialist, Marxist, Fascist, progressive, evil person is really starting to cramp my being one.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
“I,m not an ideologue” ? ? ?
The guy is about as ideologically bigoted s they come and he says hesnot an ideologue ?
First, he had the arrogance today to go lecture a pair of house Republicans who are doctors about health care.
Yeah, he took questions. Yeah, he gave answers.
But dont think he was listening.
He persisted that his health care bill was a centrist bill, simply because he says so.
When he was asked about his reversals on promises like transparency, C-Span, lobbyists, he fckn lied and said that he kept his promises.
He keeps sayin he wants to work together, but keeps bashing Bush and anyone in the previous administration
Why the fck should we work with him when he keeps disrespecting his predecessors and us by filling us with crap and bold faced lies? Why should he be treated better than the way he treats his country?
No one blocked his agenda. He had 60 Democrats, a filibuster proof majority. It was his own party that failed, no one else.
A good example would be that Bush had a 50-50 Senate and he got his agenda passed.
Obama has tried to blame Republicans, Wall Street, and even the voters. The guy (“Man” is too good for this wuss)is a frickin disgrace. He keeps talking about change, but refuses to change himself.
This press conference this morning was not about reaching out or coming together. It was about him lecturing his opponents on why they need to come to the table, shut up, and do what he says.
January 29th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
Wow, there are few things funnier than reading the whines coming from the bankrupt Republican base. You put forth Palin, a willfully ignorant bimbo, we give the world an intellectual. You give us Mike Pence, the world sees the intellectual make Pence look almost as vacuous and stupid as Palin. Every silly, childish talking point that you have trotted out since Caribou Barbie and the angry old man got their heads handed to them was brought into the open, refuted and placed right back in your laps.
What a great day to be an American.
More Palin, please, seriously, and Bachmann too.
January 29th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
If Obama is the definition of an “intellectual” I’ll just continue to be a dumba$$ thank you very much.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
“Wow, there are few things funnier than reading the whines coming from the bankrupt Republican base.”
Whats even funnier is listening to you guys try to bullsht your way out of the most abject failure of an administration ever in history in record time.
BASE ?
The only base you’ve got left are truthers and some Michael Moore fans
January 29th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
You only really need to say one thing to all these commies….Massa-Chew-setts.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
but hondo … tell us how you really feel.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
besides … obama is definitely not a bolshevik …
he is a menshevik
January 29th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Meshuguna
January 29th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
the mensheviks were killed off by the bolsheviks
January 29th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Obama needs to be picked up and hauled off to the psycho ward.
The arrogant, delusional cabrone, pendejo, baboso culero.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:58 pm
I submit that for the remainder of his one term and based on the following video that President Obama should be referred to as “President Leon”.

about 3 things i am absolutely positive.
first, obama is an arrogant jackass.
second, there is a part of him, and i don’t know how dominant that part might be, that wants to take all of my money and spend it on medical marijuana for unemployed illegal aliens.
and third, chris matthews is unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
January 30th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Okay, so maybe what he means is he is not blindly following his belief system? Then what good is a belief system. You see, I at least recognize that I am an ideologue enough to guard against it. To question my motives and when I hear a conflicting point of view challenge my belief. But in the end I still act in accordance to my political and social beliefs. If that means clinging to “My Guns and my bible” then so be it.
That statement right there at least shows that Obama has a preconceived notion of who a conservative is. A backward ignorant person ( which is what the cling to bible means in progressive talk ) that is prone to violence ( the cling to gun part )
I believe that Democrats and liberals mean well but cannot see the forest for the trees often times. This does not mean that meaningful legislation has not come from Democrats, nor does it mean that Republicans or conservatives are right all the time… But honestly… I am not an ideologue? Give me a break.
January 30th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
@ridethatteabag,
You do understand, of course, that being a tea bagger is not the same as being a “tea baggee”.
We don’t mind being called tea baggers, for it is you liberals and Obamaphites that are the ones getting tea bagged.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Always glad to tea bag when needed! And next time, try not to talk to us with your mouth full, will ya?
January 30th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Oh @Lisab, you don’t know how long I’ve waited for you.
The point no weak-kneed pundit really wants to make is this – Obama lies. Period. It doesn’t matter what he says. He’ll just change it when it suits him, anyway. Other than mocking him for own personal enjoyment, it’s useless to listen to him or even dissect the meaning of his words. They mean nothing. They are ephemeral, here one minute, gone the next.
Basically, the country elected a vapor.
January 30th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
@RideThatTeaBag
“we give the world an intellectual.”
Please, please, just give me one example how this anti-American ideologue fits the description of an intellectual.
I’ll give you ten years.
GO!!!
January 30th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
In ten years it’ll take a wheel barrel full of money to buy a tea bag…
thats just the bag.
January 30th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
I am convinced that Obama, and the people he surrounds himself with ie: Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder etc,are self loathing intellectuals, they are neither black nor white, they are biracial. They were not accepted by whites because their black heritage shows, they can not pass for white and are not truly black, therefore rejected as less than either group. Just read about Valerie Jarrett, her father was half black and asked in earlier years to enter the hospital thru the back door where he was to work, she tells this story herself on video, do you know what kind of rage that can foster, leading them to want to destroy this country, I know because I am myself biracial but could pass for white and thereby escape the pain inflicted by both races.
January 30th, 2010 at 4:22 pm
“Wow, there are few things funnier than reading the whines coming from the bankrupt Republican base.”
Well, in all fairness, you do have intellectually bankrupt statements coming from the lefts supposed upper echilon…
“the system worked”
“You put forth Palin, a willfully ignorant bimbo, we give the world an intellectual.”
Yet instead of putting her up against the man she was campaigning against (Biden) you instead decided to compete her against the supposed “Intellectual” of all 57 states. Now, that means that either Bidens incredibly dumb and would look so next to Palin or she actually did give Obama a run for his intellectual buck.
“Every silly, childish talking point that you have trotted out since Caribou Barbie and the angry old man got their heads handed to them was brought into the open, refuted and placed right back in your laps.”
You mean like ” I’m gonna close Gitmo in a year”?
“I’ll put it all on C span (X8)
OR, “Ours will be the most transparent administration in history”
Or, “The three trillion will create or save jobs, even if they dont exist in places that dont exist”
Or, ” Unlike the past administration there will be no catering to lobbyists or special interests groups”
OR, “As soon as I quit smoking so will the rest of the country”
Or, ” You dont want to be punished with a baby, do you”?
Or, You could end up clinging to a bible and a gun if that happens.
I dont know about sht ending up in our laps but from the way it looks Michelles got room for plenty more.
“What a great day to be an American.”
Enjoy it, yours are numbered.
“More Palin, please, seriously, and Bachmann too.”
Yes, I would much rather end up in either lap
January 30th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
So Nita.
What you’re saying is that everyone whos not pure white or black is enraged and out to destroy America for that reason ?
Just asking
January 30th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
It’s a generational thing micky, which nita failed to point out. Obama, Holder, Valerie Jarrett… grew up in the civil rights era and were caught in the middle. They had black features and were discriminated against even though they had white blood.
Unlike today where a light skinned black man with no negro dialect (Unless he wants one) is looked upon favorably, they were shunned by the black community also. They had to prove their blackness which is what you see in Obama and Holder.
I think growing up in an era when nobody accepted you probably made them very bitter and yes, anti-American.
