In the past 4 nights or so, I’ve been plagued by dozens of nightmares. While I have always endured nightmares - 2 or 3 a week since infancy - This is a bit extreme. The only possible explanation is the presence of Barack Obama in such close proximity. I’ll be glad when the G20 is over.

According to the Politico’s Ben Smith, who is relaying information from Public Policy Polling, it would appear, as per their study, that 44 percent of Americans would prefer having George W. Bush as president for a third term than to have Barack Obama in office.

This is definitely an interesting conversation piece, assuming that the poll is indeed accurate. Ben Smith does not cite any source data for the poll, That will certainly raise the eyebrows of skeptics, but at the same time, President Obama’s approval rating is in fact hovering around 46 percent, so for the sake of argument, let’s examine this based on face value.

In the short time President Obama has been in office, in a matter of speaking, he himself has labeled his term in office as the “Not My Fault” presidency. He has continually discusses situations he has “inherited”, and seems to have no problems pointing fingers, particularly when it comes to matters of spending.

Obama often cites President Bush’s extravagant spending, in turn blaming it for the county’s financial straits; however, he seems to lack the basic math skills to realize that he himself has taken the Bush deficit and more than doubled down on it within his first year in office. Engaged Americans are smarter than this, and they see right through it.

Whether you like him or not, George W. Bush took ownership of his presidency. While he was often quieter than a lot of his supporters had wished, he had no problem stepping up when the chips were down. Remember when Bush took flak for his grammatically incorrect “I’m the decider” comment when he offered his support to then-secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld? The media had a heyday with that, as it always did, continuing to its never-ending quest to prove that W. was an idiot.

However, poor grammar notwithstanding, people seemed to miss the point. George W. Bush, while he is a man with many faults, had the spine to stand up and say “This is mine. This is all on me.” The only times Obama seems to use the word “ I” is when he is he is so quick to remind us that “I won” or “I inherited this”, in an effort to quickly assert that whatever has befallen the country on a given day certainly wasn’t his fault. President Obama operates in a never-ending “CYA” mode, which makes him more akin to TV’s “Steve Urkel”, who often said, “Did I do that?”

So when you look at it, this poll may have something to it. In all honesty, George W. Bush was far from a conservative president. But at the same time, he took responsibility for his office and the path of his nation, even when his decisions were unpopular. While some of his policies were indeed deeply flawed, Bush carried himself as a leader, and with dignity.

Could it be that President Obama’s ego is finally beginning to wear on the American public? One wonders how long America will tolerate a man who demands to be adored, yet can’t deliver, and then refuses to take responsibility for his ineffectiveness.

Two uninvited guests inexplicably “crashed” President Barack Obama’s first state dinner on Wednesday night, and the incident has left many scratching their heads as to how this could have happened.

The couple, Michaela and Tareq Salahi, who are reportedly auditioning for a Washington D.C. based reality show were able to gain access to the party when protocol was not maintained at the Secret service checkpoint.

-

At this point, it is easy to imagine the sheer volume of comedy this will produce for late night television hosts, and conservative pundits such as this one. The “we were a second away from Joe Biden being the leader of the free world” jokes are too numerous to even fathom. And yes, the First family’s penchant for partying is well documented. We can go on and on about the stream of protocol blunders ranging from DVD’s and iPods, to bowing indiscriminately and buzzing New York City in Air Force One. While those incidents are certainly perceived as bad by a good portion of the public, in most cases the most damage that is done is that the president and his country gets a bit of a red face, and somebody gets fired because of said incident’s possible impact on future electoral maps.

This, however, is much more serious than any of that.

No matter which side of the political ideological spectrum we fall on, the President of the United States is in fact the most powerful man in the world. Whomever holds that office, whether you had a stake in electing the person or not, and political policies notwithstanding, the president should be protected at all costs.

It goes without saying that the Salahi’s should be brought up on federal charges, and the Secret Service agents responsible for this “mishap” should be immediately investigated and fired.

These are serious times we live in. We are engaged in two wars which we must win, while we are also trying to somehow prevent a madman from wiping a tiny nation known as Israel from the face of the earth. These things are no laughing matter. Western civilization itself could hang in the balance.

Every day, there is at least one story in the news that will make any engaged American question their safety, yet our government and its supposedly unlimited resources fell flat on its face when it came to ensuring the safety of the one man who I many ways holds the keys to ours.

One couldn’t even classify this as unacceptable. This is downright frightening. It’s one thing to have to endure lapses in judgment that occasionally make the Obama administration look like its perpetually getting “pantsed” on the playground, but what if a future lapse in judgment, (by whichever department commits it) ends in something much more tragic and leaves a lasting scar on the American psyche?

Apparently, nobody’s thinking about that. Somebody should.

President Obama recently bowed to Emperor Akihito in Japan. At this point, one might wonder exactly who is advising Barack Obama, if any one at all. If you will recall, this is the latest in what seems to be a string of inappropriate greetings in international settings by our Commander-in-Chief.

So far to date, Barack Obama has bowed to Saudi King Abdullah, given an exaggerated nod to Queen Elizabeth II, and there has been speculation as to whether or not he has offered a similar gesture to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

This is troublesome, and embarrassing. Common sense would indicate that it would more than likely be difficult for international leaders to take our president seriously if he is constantly subordinating himself to them. Perception goes a long way on the international stage, and at this juncture, an honest observer of the situation would be hard pressed to find an incident where Obama has projected himself as leader of the free world when he travels abroad, let alone an equal.

For those who would argue that President Obama is trying to “make amends” for some of America’s supposed arrogance of the past, it should be made known that bowing to other leaders is not a traditional form of greeting, particularly in the case of Emperor Akihito. The Emperor is most commonly greeted with a simple handshake.

So, with that in mind, it could be fair to say that what is going on here goes far beyond supposed protocol. This appears to be another whistle-stop in the “Obama Apologizes for America tour”. It doesn’t seem that he has given up on his concept of being a “citizen of the world”, and it looks like he intends to remain in a never ending campaign to be personally adored until the end of his term in office.

Americans thought they had elected a leader. It doesn’t look like that happened. Instead, they got a teenage girl who just transferred to a new school and is desperate to do anything to fit in with the cool kids. However, unlike high school, when President Obama ends up getting stuffed in a locker, America will be the one who feels the pain and humiliation.

That title isn’t an effort on my part to be racially divisive regarding the Obama administration. No, such a thing actually exists. Their logo is blood spattered, to mimic a gunshot wound, which is wholly appropriate.

Anyone who hasn’t gone to great effort to purge the memory from their mind may remember hip hop “star” Ludacris (so spelled in order to keep urban populations as illiterate as possible) bringing out a “song” during the Obama campaign telling America to paint the White House black. Ludacris and other rappers are part of this so-called Hip Hop Caucus, founded in 2004, whose mission statement claims:

The mission of the Hip Hop Caucus is to work towards ending urban poverty for the next generation. We organize young people in urban communities to be active in elections, policymaking, and service projects. Our priority issues are Urban Poverty, Urban Planning, Climate Change, Healthcare, Public Education, and Criminal Justice.

They also state: Our work re-shapes how young people of color are viewed by the media, elected officials, and the public.

On that point I would say all of hip hop have been very successful in taking an already marginalized community and turning them into an organized band of thugs. Excellent work!

They are not a caucus that is officially affiliated with government, but they are a lobby group with not inconsiderable influence. For example:

The US rap star T.I., who has worked with a political lobbying group with growing influence in Washington, is to serve less than a year in jail after being convicted of illegal possession of machine guns.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone. The courts know which way the wind blows in an Obamanation. Take one criminally affiliated black man, install him in the highest office in the land via the illegal methods of ACORN and a willing liberal media. Surround him with tax cheats who have never faced a day in court for their crimes. Praise him for his integrity. And watch the country sink deeper and deeper into the mire.

Word.

Barack Obama may soon have the power to control the Internet. And if he deems something vague is a cyber-security threat, he will shut that baby down.

Senators John Rockefeller (D-W. Va.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) think so. On Wednesday they introduced a bill to establish the Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor—an arm of the executive branch that would have vast power to monitor and control Internet traffic to protect against threats to critical cyber infrastructure. That broad power is rattling some civil libertarians.

The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 gives the president the ability to “declare a cybersecurity emergency” and shut down or limit Internet traffic in any “critical” information network “in the interest of national security.” The bill does not define a critical information network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to the president.

So what defines a cyber-security risk? The North Koreans hacking us? The Chinese spying? The Mad Mullahs using the internet to steal banking information? Or, judging by the way the Obama camp has handled criticism in the past, it may just mean there are too many disgruntled bloggers talking smack about him that need to be shut up, for the good of the people.

You will remember that these are the same people who thought President Bush was listening in on their phone calls just for kicks. And that the wire-tapping of the NSA was unconstitutional.

But wait, there’s more! Race* has been invoked, people. Race!

“We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs—from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records—the list goes on,” Rockefeller said in a statement. Snowe echoed her colleague, saying, “if we fail to take swift action, we, regrettably, risk a cyber-Katrina.“

A cyber-Katrina, where welfare queens begin looting the Internet, and their baby-daddies start shooting at the NSA? I think I’d actually pony up the $50 to watch that on pay-per-view. Who’s with me?

*Because anything, anywhere, anytime, when uttered by a Democrat in relation to Katrina is about race. Always.

Sales of rifles, pistols and ammo are surging in parts of the United States, as many gun owners fear President-elect Barack Obama’s administration may seek to tighten ownership of certain weapons.

“The day after the election, I had many more calls than usual from people looking for semi-automatic rifles,” said David Greenberg, the owner of the Second Amendment Family Gun Shop, in Bisbee, Arizona, who sold out of AR-15 rifles in recent days.

“There seems to be a fear they will be banned, and it’s fairly likely,” he added. “Obama and Biden are driven to eliminate firearms from the face of the country.”

Welcome to the new reality, Comrades. All the really good dictators know that an armed society cannot be an acquiescent society. First there will be a Canadian-style gun registry, so the government can get the names and addresses of all gun owners. Then comes the raids. Good luck, and Godspeed.

There is so much that America can look forward to under its new socialist overlords. High taxes that will pay for those weird 4-inch airbrushed acrylic nails that unemployed black women are so fond of, high heating and energy costs to save the environment because only liberals have the ability to influence the weather, and Canadian-style “free” “health” “care” (three lies for the price of one).

Welcome, Americans, to my world.

A third health region in Saskatchewan said Tuesday it has been reusing syringes, but also suggested that patients aren’t at great risk of infection.

The Sun Country Health Region, in the southeastern corner of Saskatchewan, said syringes were reused occasionally in the operating room at Weyburn General Hospital to inject medication into an intravenous bag.

As an aside, our socialist government provides clean syringes for addicts in many cities across Canada. Hospitals? Not so much.

Have fun, America!

I am a staunch conservative, with no patience for liberals and Democrats.

BUT

Whatever my feelings, and whatever yours, we have just borne witness to a piece of American history. Americans have elected their first black president to lead them.

Historic eras in America are all important, but the big ones are few in number: Independence from England, the slavery era, the end of the slavery era, women’s suffrage, the black vote, and the various wars. Those are the biggies. And now, a black president.

What would Abe Lincoln say today? Paging Frederick Douglass for a quote.

This time tomorrow, half the electorate will have voted (I hope).

I admit to being worried - not in the short term, because we are fairly safe here at Castle Argghhh, but for the longer term, regardless of how the election goes. Honestly, I would love to see America finally put its sordid past behind it and elect a black president - just not this one. I worry for the liberty of Americans of all classes.

Chicago is in lockdown in case Obama loses - they expect riots. Ditto Detroit. What does that say about the country?

Yet at the same time, I really hope he does lose. Communism has no place in America - America has always staunchly defended itself from that tyranny, even when it previously infiltrated the highest levels of government. But do enough Americans today have the knowledge to continue to fight it? After all, the education system has been rife with commie sympathizers since the “Me First” generation took hold of the country in the 60’s and 70’s. Which means the past two generations of Americans have not been taught enough about the failures of socialism and communism around the world. They have only been taught the ideologies that the poor will be taken care of and everyone will live in harmony (cue John Lennon). Sorry, but if you are getting your education from the Beatles, there’s something wrong with the system.

I grew up at the beginning of the Reagan era. I remember the vitriol being spewed from the left. I also remember the vitriol spewed from the right during the looooong Clinton era. But I do not remember seeing the kind of violence and sheer hatred we are seeing today. What has happened?

Some crazy talk radio host on the left has called for the death of Joe the plumber. The death of an average American citizen who doesn’t want to give up his earned money to Obama. Apparently that’s all it takes to get you lynched in this New World Order. If you speak out against Obama, you must die. Holy shit!

The hatred of Sarah Palin and her family continues unabated with the Wonkette crowd screeching about how Trig Palin, the Down Syndrome infant, wishes he’d been aborted.

Little baby Trig must be so glad he wasn’t aborted for this, his first Halloween, because his parents dressed him up like a political party symbol to be carried around at snarling political events. Aww. Isn’t life just grand?

Trig Palin and his posse just happened to show up the the door of Brass Balls Radio co-producer Mike Williams on Halloween evening, and was a typical burbling gurgling happy baby being carried from house to house by his mom and his sister. For shame? I think not.

From the Wonkette comments:

Ugh. I hate that look people get on their face when they are happy to be holding a baby. It is all domestic and other disturbing things.

Initially they were going to have trig dress up as an aborted fetus

Wait, is Trig the baby with Down syndrome? … yuck.

Judging from the costume, the parents are the real retards.

I thought an unaborted mongoloid baby was the symbol of the Republican Party.

These are the people who will have control of America come January if the rest of you allow it to happen tomorrow. As much as I dislike invoking Godwin’s Law, I must. Hitler’s euthanasia program was developed to remove imperfection from the race. Cripples and the retarded were tossed out with the Jews and the gypsies like last week’s Brussels sprouts. Is this what America wants to become?

And as if the above weren’t enough, I need to remind you of this:

We are judged by the company we keep. And right now The Man Who Would Be King keeps company with the people quoted above at Wonkette, as well as domestic terrorists and anarchists. Stop and think before you pull the lever tomorrow America. You may be pulling the lever on your own destruction.

Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, nude. With pictures. Is there nothing this woman didn’t get up to?

Ladies and gentleman of Girl on the Right:

I am speechless.

But i do approve this message.

Right here in my neck of the American woods, Kansas City:

Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month — a $2300 donation to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The Larman’s say they don’t want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say they’re not about to give the Obama campaign any help from their pocketbook.

They said they notified Chase, their credit card bank, to report the fraud.

“(They) said that they had seen-they were familiar with this,” said Steve Larman. “It was fraud, they believe through telemarketing but they were going to be doing some more investigations.”

Kansas City is one of the areas that ACORN is having trouble keeping their illegal activities a secret. It is predominately black (cue the moonbats calling me all sorts of names - sticks and stones, mutherfuckers), not wealthy, and therefore primo hunting ground for the Obamanuats. It is also where this frightening video was produced.

The redistribution of wealth has commenced.

If Barack Obama is the new Jesus, does that make Oprah the new John the Baptist?

Update: Whoops, according to Rush Limbaugh, Joe Biden is John the Baptist. INP, I guess that means you’re right in the comments.

Every girl-blogger out there is playing “Barracuda” in honor of Sarah Palin. So I thought it would be fair to play a little something for Obama. You know, a little something to sum up his great accomplishments. So Barry, this one’s for you!

Obama is setting a precedent in the US, which is amazing and something to be proud of. Until you look closer and see that the man who would be king doesn’t actually like the country he hopes to lead.

I am a better American than Barak Hussein Obama.

3) Obama refuses to wear a flag pin because, he claims, true patriotism consists of opposing the Iraq War. The colliery to this, of course, is that Obama must therefore believe that people who support the war are not “true patriots” a position which is, to say the least, odd.

4) One of Obama’s friends is William Ayers, a man who unsuccessfully attempted to blow up an Army dance and, when asked about this terrorist activities after September 11th, said, “I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough.”

5) His wife infamously recently claimed that the fact that her husband was doing well in the Presidential election made her feel proud of America for the first time in her adult life.

6) He belongs to a radical Church whose Pastor - a man who he is close to and who provided the title of his second book - says that we should sing “God Damn America” instead of “God Bless America” and says that American got what it deserved on September 11th.

I say we all (those of us who are not actual Americans) write essays to the New york Times as to why WE would be a better president to the nation than its own son.

Viva la Revolucion.

Sure, it’s the low road to compare Obama to Osama, even though Obama was educated in a madrassa.

So let’s instead compare him to the underworld hero whose flag he has tacked to his campaign office in Houston: Che Guevara.
