Obama: The Appeaser

In the last election we basically had a no-win situation. John McCain was just flat out pathetic, a man who saw integrity as a liability (which is a logical POV in the GOP) and who named a veritable pet as a running mate. Shrillary was so busy getting measured for her queen's robes, she forgot to actually run a campaign and she kept "finding her voice" like eight different times. Obama in comparison was the cool, sleek cat of the crowd with an A1 organization and speaking words recognizing the long held outrage among those who actually care about this country. Problem was - and I used this word at the time - he was a Poser, an empty suit for the times.

The Liar

The Bitch*

And the Empty Wardrobe

At a meeting of top Democrats at the White House Wednesday night, President Obama told Congressional leaders that he did not want a special inquiry [to investigate the harsh interrogation methods that the [anti-Christ 43rd President]'s administration approved for terrorism suspects].
...Obama said that he "always thought [anti-Christ 43rd President] was a good guy. I mean, I think personally he is a good man who loves his family and loves his country," he explained in an exclusive interview with CNN's John King.

"You have performed brilliantly in every mission that has been given to you. Under enormous strain and under enormous sacrifice, through controversy and difficulty and politics, you've kept your eyes focused on just doing your job. And because of that, every mission that's been assigned -- from getting rid of Saddam, to reducing violence, to stabilizing the country, to facilitating elections -- you have given Iraq the opportunity to stand on its own as a democratic country. That is an extraordinary achievement."

Three piles of pure vomit uttered by a man who wants to appear visionary - but not be visionary; by a man who wants to represent change - but not effect it; by a man who wants to say the right thing - but not do the right thing. So law enforcement is called "retribution" now? I'll be sure to point that out next time I get a speeding ticket. And a soul who lies his country into a war causing wholesale destruction and mass murder is a "good guy". Josh, golly Mr. Prez, I'd sure hate to see what a bad guy does. And it also turns out we weren't there to steal Iraq's oil after all, instead we came out of the kindness of our hearts to lay flowers at their feet and stabilize the region one dead body at a time:

I'll say it for him:
God damn America

The O-man also says he wants to rule like Lincoln: Well, here's a quote from the real deal:

"The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act, as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty; and precisely the same difference prevails today among human creatures."

I don't want a President who's bipartisan with the wolf. I don't want a President who feels sorry for the wolf. I don't want a President who makes nice with the wolf. I want a President who cuts the wolf's balls off and tells him to fuck off and die! Being nice to the wolf doesn't make you a nice person - it makes you an appeaser. You are the wolf's enabler, allowing him to continue his predatory ways. Yes, Mr. Obama, you talk the talk but you don't walk the walk.

When in doubt, do right:

"There were no generously peaceful impulses in Atlanta, Georgia, that same week, when, on October 19 [1960], police arrested Martin Luther King for refusing to leave the all-white restaurant of a department store. Taken immediately to court, King was sentenced to four months hard labor.
"The morning after King's imprisonment, resting in his motel room, beginning to prepare for his fourth and last debate with [Tricky Dick] Nixon, Kennedy was interrupted by a telephoned suggestion from his brother in Washington, that he "might want to intervene" directly on behalf of King. Kennedy turned to the handful of staff members who had already assembled to begin the day's work. "What do you think?" he asked. The political advisers, led by Kenny O'Donnell, expressed opposition. "You have no legitimate right to interfere with the judicial system of Alabama";"It's a local concern";"Our position on the South is already precarious, and this can only antagonize the white political leaders whose organizations are essential to electoral success.""
So what did Kennedy do? He acted as a leader and made the call to free King. And what happened to Kennedy, a man who followed his convictions in a nip and tuck race?
"As the King story spread through northern ghettos, black support for Kennedy - hitherto ambivalent or disinterested - began to solidify, acquired the added enthusiasm necessary to persuade black Americans that their choice at the polls might make a difference, that Whitey was still Whitey, but some more so than others. In an election decided by a handful of votes in a few key states, that political reward was of enormous consequence. Joseph P Kennedy's most insightful political aphorism had again proved its wisdom: "When in doubt," the old man said, "do right.""

*For all the reverse-sexists out there, sexism in the media doesn't make Hillary any more than what she is: a bitch. Don't tell me about the Hillary you know. My sister worked on the '92 campaign, she was on the buses with Clinton, she has a letter of recommendation from him - and she despises Hillary. Public appearances don't define you, if you really want to know a person see what it's like when you're under their thumb. That's when you see their true colors. That being said, my sister's opinion only confirmed my own.
