Here’s one I hope he keeps:

In private pitches to Democrats, President Barack Obama says he will persuade Congress to pass his health care overhaul even if it kills him and even if he has to ask deeply distrustful lawmakers to trust him on a promise the White House doesn’t have the power to keep.

Finally, a promise with an Expiration Date* we can live with.

Well, almost all of us.

In a strained defense of wasteful “make work” projects to temporarily sustain government employees and their favorite no-bid contractors, the Bolshevik revolution continues with aplomb as the SouthCommunists at the reconstituted Nashville City Paper (NCP) serve up a little cover story complete with quasi-Soviet/NorK iconography:

You Forgot To Add The Sickle

ed. note – Six Meat Buffet uses Commie iconography as parody – not praise.

Among some of the brilliant observations from the Kremlinesque note-takers at the NCCCP:

More than $1 billion in stimulus funds have flowed into Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District, represented by U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat who voted for the recovery act. That money has created nearly 7,000 jobs in the geographic area that includes Davidson and parts of Wilson and Cheatham counties, according to federal figures that cover Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2009.

At $1,000,000,000.00, that’s roughly $143,000 per job.  Excuse me, “nearly” 7,000 jobs.  Round it up a little.  Now would those be full-time jobs in the private sector that will be contributing taxes next year or a gubmint project filling potholes for 3 months because that’s a top 1-percenter income being funneled through the models of efficiency that are the federal and state government.  At least on Charity Navigator we can see how much went to Administrative costs.

The government’s stimulus-tracking website, recovery.gov, is designed to offer transparency about how the federal funds are being spent, and indeed, the wealth of information is almost overwhelming. The slightest bit of navigation will reveal initiatives throughout Nashville. Some, mostly construction projects, were unveiled with staged photo-ops and now don the familiar red-blue-and-green stimulus logo at their sites. Others have gone largely unnoticed. The list is much too lengthy to cover in its entirety without risking utter boredom.

You read that right.  Indeed,  they would hate to bore all you 10+% unemployed Tennesseans out there with all this free funemployment time on your hands. The information is so overwhelming we simply don’t have the ink to describe how completely awesome it is.

I thought this level of lickspittle A2M Soviet cockslobbery was reserved strictly for The Nashville Scene.

Indeed, I certainly don’t want to bore you with any more of the slavish teabaggery that Joey Garrison begged for at the wrinkled sack of the Obama Administration but this was just too much:

More heat on the street: Perhaps the most celebrated stimulus project allocated to Metro — hailed by Dean and others — is the $9 million grant awarded to the police department to bring on 50 new officers. According to spokesman Don Aaron, most of the money pays for salaries and other benefits.

That’s $180,000 per police officer added for those Metro school graduates averse to math.  Ask those cops how much they get paid a year and then ask where the other $135,000 went.

It seems Pravda On The Cumberland finally got a little competition.

Best not to examine all those Phantom Congressional Districts that got $54 Million in cream right off the top.  You say “Cream!” too loud around these inky apparatchiks and all they do is close their eyes and open their mouths.

$54 Million??? Why, that’s almost 300 new Robocops we could have bought or at least fended off lawsuits over rightfully arresting illegal aliens.  Or at least put a down payment on a light rail so we can have the illegals polishing the brass on our Shining Sanctuary City On The Hill.

Robocop: Only cost $73k in 1987 dollars (though most of his parts were made in Mexico)

Whatever you do Joey and the rest of your Comrades at the NCCCP, don’t look into that ghost money.  We’d all much rather read your incessant lacrimosas over Juana Villegas’ spilled breast milk.

NASA Ordered To Let Mohammed Atta Fly The Space Shuttle.

Yea.  Here’s another great idea from Teh Smartest President Ever:

NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to “find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries” as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.

“In addition to the nations that most of you usually hear about when you think about the International Space Station, we now have expanded our efforts to reach out to non-traditional partners,” said Bolden, speaking to a lecture hall of young engineering students.

Your President is your new Travel Agent Terrorist.

“Non-traditional partners” meaning partners who contribute absolutely nothing to a mission and who do not want to come back alive.  Viewing our technological advances as potential weapons to use against us is also a plus.

When your “partner” starts yelling Allahu Akbar and storms the cockpit just know that we did everything we could to strip-search our own astronauts so that our intrepid Islamofascists would never tell the space aliens that we racially profiled them.

Is this post really hyperbole?  Nah.  Not when your Prez just named a terrorist sympathizing scumbag as your new ambassador to the Muslim world.  Once again highlighting that he’s more in tune with his Hussein than his Barack or his Obama.

By way of Newsbusters, it appears that Teh Won’s new Twitter-In-Chief is a MoveOn.orger/Emily’s Lister abortionist named Cambronero (from The Sweetness):

Note that the NOI was put together by the extremely loathsome Zach Exley. For those of you who might not recognize the name, you can check out his lengthy entry at Discover The Networks.

But suffice to say that Mr. Exley is an activist with the domestic terrorists known as the Ruckus Society. He has also worked as an undercover labor union organizer.

However, his great online achievement was his creation of a ‘phishing’ site, which pretended to be the official website for George Bush.

Be a terrorist. Get paid. Get taxpayer sponsorship.

Mr. Exley, we have the undercarriage of a bus with your name on it and all of your commie acolytes. Obamao’s ties are really starting to add up.

Funny that you want to take credit for General Betrayus now.

And The Ringo of Commies shall lead them back to the famine.

So ends the Orange Revolution:

Initial exit polls put Viktor Yanukovych, a Soviet-style politician, three to five percentage points ahead of Yulia Tymoshenko, his bitter rival and the current prime minister. A fuller picture is expected to emerge on Monday, at which point 80 per cent of the votes are likely to have been counted.

If confirmed, Mr Yanukovych’s victory sounds a death knell for the country’s 2004 Orange Revolution that set it firmly on a pro-Western course but failed to deliver meaningful changes.

Those would be meaningful changes after Putin’s attempt to assassinate their leader.  Of course, what pro-Western country was left for them to turn?  Even in the U.S. we unfortunately have a President who dreams of a Post-American world.

Ahead of the vote, he appeared relaxed and confident. “I am sure that the Ukrainian nation deserves a better life,” he said, casting his vote.

“That is why I have voted for good changes and for stability.” His advisers concede he is a poor public speaker but insist he is hard- working and committed to delivering better living standards, something Ukraine desperately needs. They insist he is not the Kremlin stooge he is often made out to be, though admit his policies are likely to be more palatable to the Kremlin than those of outgoing president Viktor Yushchenko.

In other words, “Things have developed that’ll ensure security. I’ve just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever.”

How’s that “reset” button working out for us?

Next stop, Romania.  Hours after stealing the Ukrainian election, the Kremlin fires a shot across the bow.

More on the AWOL, objectively pro-Communist President.

For cereal.  If eyes are the windows to the soul, those glasses are the gayest of curtains.

And apparently they aren’t going to get #1 ranking either:

The Obama administration is considering several steps that would review the legality of the controversial Bowl Championship Series, the Justice Department said in a letter Friday to a senator who had asked for an antitrust review.

…

“The administration shares your belief that the current lack of a college football national championship playoff with respect to the highest division of college football … raises important questions affecting millions of fans, colleges and universities, players and other interested parties,” Weich wrote.

Take your Ritalin, guys.  In a battle between the BCS and the ADHD, I’m betting on the BCS.

Nobody’s solved healthcare.  Nobody’s solved crap.  You don’t want to prosecute the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia but you’re ready to roro-rooter the BCS Series?

“Interested parties” means congressmen and senators who would like free tickets to ogle college poon and prick while they “investigate”.

Jobs are our #1 priority.  Sure.  But they’ll never get above #6 until they schedule a few more Big-12 and SEC games during election season.

It’s good to see that the Obamessiah has the same destructive quality that President Junior had in 2006 and 2008. Wherever he goes, failure follows.

That’s why they call him Failure Face.

Our buddy Dan is on the scene in Boston along with Ace, Pamela and others.

We should have sent Cranky.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery:

CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuela will switch off lights for hours at a time in Caracas and other cities such as oil town Maracaibo in planned blackouts to tackle power shortages that threaten President Hugo Chavez’s support.

…

Critics blame the government for not investing enough in the national grid since Chavez took office 11 years ago.

The president say previous government made critical errors by building most of the nations energy infrastructure on one river that is affected by rainfall.

He “inherited” a power shortage from the previous administration though he’s been in office for 11 years.

The “Obama Defense” only works on the American media, comrade.

Not that he has to worry about the Venezuelan media that he took over bailed out years ago.

Artist’s Rendering: Ass not really that dark.

Projection ain’t just for movie theaters, folks. As Cranky pointed out the selective outrage that always seems to effect national Democrats, the revelations that Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s book “Game Change” is threatening to unleash is bound to give us a sequel to America’s Historic Conversation On Race that we all need to have so much:

–In lobbying the late Sen. Edward Kennedy to endorse his wife, former President Clinton angered the liberal icon by belittling Obama. Telling a friend about the conversation, Kennedy recalled Clinton had said “a few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee,” the authors paraphrase.

At least he didn’t say anything about Obama being the half and half for his coffee. These arbiters of racial sensitivity. And at least he didn’t say anything about shining his shoes or then Chuckles McPonytail would be obligated to defend him.

It’s this type of black-on-black violence, the First Black President and the Second One, engaged in these rhetorical drive-bys by the Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X of our times that makes me worry about the future of our Idiocracy. A real tempest in a demitasse.

–Reid said Obama could fare well nationally as an African-American candidate because he was “light-skinned” and didn’t speak with a “Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.” Saturday, the majority leader said he had used “poor choice of words” and called Obama to apologize; the White House issued a statement indicating that the president had forgiven Reid.

Now everybody’s making ado about the “light-skinned” and “Negro dialect” mentions but I don’t see anyone talking about the last part of it – the “unless he wanted to have one” comment. That’s the part that needs fleshing out. Why would such an erudite, by all appearances “clean” and well-scrubbed politician want to speak in some ghettofied dialect? Presumably, Reid is not referring to an African dialect but the one that Al Gore and Hillary Clinton usually devolve into – the Stepin Fetchit-ism from the pulpits of black churches.

That’s the explanation I want. When does Reid think that it is beneficial for Obama to get ghetto? Maybe when he’s going to shame someone on the other side for an innocuous remark?

Not to worry, folks. Not to worry. Once he knew the story was going to break (read: yesterday), Dingy Harry immediately called to apologize and kiss Obama’s light-skinned ass. All that’s left is for him to kiss it and for the media to ignore this story by tomorrow morning.

Nothing fosters racial conciliation more than a bigot and a race huckster coming together in the name of stealing all your money.

Thank God For Taxation Without Representation Update:  Attention, all you Washington, D.C. vacationers.  If you think you can seize on Harry Reid’s comments and find a friend in the black community then you better recognize:

D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton is warning Republicans against trying to make hay out of Harry Reid’s comments about Barack Obama’s skin color and lack of a “Negro dialect.”  The nonvoting member of Congress said Reid’s opponents “will not find a welcome mat in the black community” if they try to seize on his remarks.

Norton, a black woman who represents one of the most heavily African-American cities in the country, said Reid will enjoy support from the black community because he has “earned it with long support of civil rights and many other issues that matter most to African-Americans.”

So don’t wonder where the mat is if you end up in the D.C. area.  You won’t be able to find it. Some crazy woman stole it and is running around with it to protect a man who can appreciate the finer points of her negro dialect that she’s taking out on you.

He earned that right.

A guy who is willing to crackdown on anyone who catches him smoking a cigarette (and consequently anyone who shares his habit) will go to Stalinist lengths over anything important.

It’s hardly the image of transparency the Obama administration wants to project: A workshop on government openness is closed to the public.

These guys make Cheney look like Chatty Cathy.  Cheney didn’t invoke the “separation of powers” clause over gate-crashers.

Then again, who needs openness and government transparency when you’ve got hope and an empty glass of Kool-Aid?  It’s the kind of blind faith only those godbothering Christophiles engage in.  Or maybe those Hot Earthers.

This is just disgusting but is hardly a shock considering that your President was raised by a sexual deviant.

Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings was the founder, and for many years, Executive Director of an organization called the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). GLSEN started essentially as Jennings’ personal project and grew to become the culmination of his life’s work. And he was chosen by President Obama to be the nation’s Safe Schools Czar primarily because he had founded and led GLSEN (scroll for bio).

I’m not going to re-post the excerpts from the stories that Ped-O-bama’s  “Safe Schools” Czar has suggested for your kids to read in that public school they force them into that this gay radical is now in charge of.  Check it out for yourself.  It’s like the Yellow Pages for Pedos.  Reacharound and touch someone.

The books his group recommends for 5 year old’s to 10 year old’s aren’t nearly as veiled as you might think. The Boy Who Cried Fabulous, Marvin Redpost:  Is He A Girl? , and who could forget that timeless fable Uncle What-Is-It Is Coming To Visit!

There are dozens more.  Of course, you can see Obama reading Uncle What-Is-It Is Coming To Visit when the plane hits the tower not that there’s anything wrong with that.  Unless you happen to be the parent of a kid in that classroom who doesn’t think it’s the job of your 22 year old graduate teaching assistant to lecture your son or daughter on the virtues of rock hard tranny cock.

A far cry from the people who want to ban Huck Finn or Lord of the Flies.

So this is the Gay Agenda I’ve always heard about in your K-6 classroom.

This is way worse than Van Jones.  “Safe Schools” Czar, indeed.  Safe for NAMBLA.

And once again begs the question, “Does this dumbo-earred mofo know anybody who isn’t a frickin’ whackjob?”

It’s a subject open for debate as to what role schools should play in educating young adults about aspects of sexuality but if people actually knew what Obama’s appointee would like for your kids to be exposed to then there would be a full-scale riot.

Truth be told, I’m pretty open on the subject of gay adoption and couldn’t really care less about gay marriage but this is so far out of bounds that it demands immediate Congressional hearings.  There is no way this guy got appointed without them knowing where he came from or what he was about.

Change that you can deceive in.  Hope you aren’t paying attention.

I’m sorry. I thought this Address To The Nation was to all of the American people. Not just “The Nation” editorial staff.

This entire speech is nothing more than an attempt to calm his leftwing base. He needs to rehash why we are in Afghanistan as if anyone has forgotten.

One second he’s claiming Iraq was a distraction and that he’s not going to go into it and the next second he immediately goes into it and to my total surprise admits that he was always against it and does not support it which should really be a morale booster for the troops in that theater.

And it sounds like he’s going to try to Kosovo Afghanistan with a NATO-led gambit as if we can’t see Wesley Clark’s grubby fingerprints all over it.

If you are left uninspired listening to his hopey hokum – don’t worry. This speech was not for you. This speech was for Queen Nancy and in an attempt to please everyone he’s going to disappoint them all.

First, the Obamessiah trots off to Europe for his apology tour. Then he bows to the Saudi king. Then he grovels at the feet of Japan’s head hibachi chef.

But this? This is way over the line.

Bowing and apologizing to a bird and all its forefeathers for all the white man’s crimes is no way to show strength to the creatures inhabiting the lower rungs of the food chain. They now know we’re paper eaters.

Just be thankful on this Thanksgiving that no matter who you are, you’ll never be as big a douche as our President.

Obama’s Thanksgiving reading list? A GQ with himself on the cover. Uberdouche.

Amid unimaginable and unprecedented deficit spending in The Worst Economy Since The Great Depression ™, one Barack Hussein Obama lets the US taxpayers feed and pamper several hundred multimillionaire Hollyweird bigshots while his loyalist minions contemplate yet another tax on the middle class to pay for the war we were already paying for in the first place. Headed by a Ways and Means Committee Chairman who should be indicted for tax evasion no less.

“We’re not trying to insult anybody. We’re just trying to keep in the forefront what the financial costs are,” House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey (D-Wis.) told POLITICO.

He says with a straight face after voting to quadruple the current deficit with one bill and claiming that it won’t cost you a thin dime.

Is there anything this government does that we don’t already pay for? They want to tax you harder for a war they have no intention of winning.

Sacrifice your Trillion dollar pet projects and bunk science boondoggles to pay for your War of Necessity? Hells no.

Praise the Hague and pass the Arugula.

********************************************************************
Meanwhile, in another part of the world, The Men who caught the mutilator behind the Fallujah Massacre are being court-martialed because the terrorist had an owie on his widdle wip.

The three, all members of the Navy’s elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral’s mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named “Objective Amber,” told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

The inmates are truly running the asylum. We need another tax to fund the criminal prosecution of our own soldiers and to baby the madmen who mutilate their corpses (and hang them from bridges) while their Commander-in-Chief slobs knobs with the Hollywood directors who portray our troops as borderline lunatics waiting to snap.

Were that it true…

The Obamessiah doesn’t like any of the options that his advisors have presented him with regard to Afghanistan. His biggest gripe about these options is that they each require him to make a decision. Making a decision is not something the Obamessiah is comfortable doing.

How about doing something for our troops that are in harms way over there? Oh that’s right, you’re on the other team, aren’t you?

Thank goodness Hitlery threw her $0.02 in for good measure.

Funny how our government is only concerned about these things when applied to foreign countries. “Corruption, lack of transparency, poor governance and absence of the rule of law,” is exactly what we have in Washington DC. I hope Afghanistan doesn’t decide to pull its troops out of the US as a consequence.

Germany celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall last night.  Children today may remember that event as the joyful mutual end of years smart diplomacy whereby US hegemony was imposed at the barrel of a gun on native East German peoples who prospered during the Soviet Golden Age.

In actuality, it stemmed from peace through strength and not compromising basic American principles coupled with a President willing to call Evil by it’s name to it’s face.  In honor of the collapse of the Soviets who cordoned off half of Europe and consigned millions to death, prison and poverty, Barack Obama stood them up so he could work in a few rounds of golf:

Angela Merkel, Germany’s first chancellor from the former communist East, recalled the euphoria in an address last week to the U.S. Congress.

“Where there was once only a dark wall, a door suddenly opened and we all walked through it: onto the streets, into the churches, across the borders,” Merkel said. “Everyone was given the chance to build something new, to make a difference, to venture a new beginning.”

That’s what you call real “hope and change”.

When reached for comment, President Icarus responded:

“We are now moving towards the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down and Germany being reunified after so many painful years,” Obama said. “And this is a special moment for Chancellor Merkel, as somebody who grew up in East Germany, who understands what it’s like to be under the shadow of a dictatorial regime, and to see how freedom has bloomed in Germany, how it has become the centerpiece for a extraordinarily strong European Union.”

So many “painful years”.  Like living with arthritis.  The only good thing about German reunification is it began to pave the path for One World Government.  That was what that wall falling was all about.

Trading one dictatorial regime of paranoid murderers to surrender your hard fought sovereignty to a bunch of foreign bureaucrats.

That wall represented The Cold War.  Hundreds of billions spent on a strong military so that tens of millions wouldn’t have to die in a Hot War.  Decades of working and fighting through proxies so that an expansive Soviet regime couldn’t get a foothold in Southeast Asia as well as Central America.

It’s understandable that Barack Hussein Obama would not want to take part in the celebration of the defeat and rejection of his Communist ideals and heroes while his job of building the next wall is in progress.

We covered this a while back and then again to underscore but we see who was paying heed and taking notes of Van Jones’ bigoted calls for reparations under the aegis of “green jobs”. Not so coincidentally, the same people who need to get out the vote if they want The Great Redistributor to break open other people’s piggybanks:

Obama called on the audience to vote, and to make sure others do (ed. – Dead or alive).

“You’re going to need to get cousin Pookie off the couch, and say, ‘Pookie, it’s time to go vote,’ ” POTUS said. “You’ve all got a cousin Pookie, you know who I’m talking about.”

Yea.  I know who you’re talking about, Willis. The “P” in POTUS stands for Pookie.

Just watch it. It’s only about 30 seconds long.

Happy Halloween. It was a wet one, but still a good one. Hope this didn’t happen while you were trick-or-treating.

These remarks from Sting just reinforce my belief that artists are fed a load of crap about what the opposition believes, and they’re fine with not delving too deeply into reality.  I mean, artists are paid for their ability to live in a fantasyland.

The British singer, who released the seasonal album “On A Winter’s Night” this week, said he’s fascinated by American politics, Obama, and also by Obama’s opponents on the right.

“It’s aggressive and violent and full of fear,” he said of the backlash against Obama. “They don’t want change, they want things to feel the same because they feel safe there.”

“My hope is that we can start talking about real issues and not caring about whether God cares about your hemline or your color,” he said. “We are here to evolve as one family, and we can’t be separate anymore.”

I agree.  So why does the left keep making an issue out of color, or religion, or any of the categories into which they like to separate people? It makes me angry to put up with this kind of educated ignorance.

There is a group, called the right, that has studied unadulterated and uneditorialized history, that judges people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin, or any of the other identity politics classifications, and have found that character wanting in this particular administration.  What’s frightening about this administration is that the books we’re having to study to understand what’s going on right now don’t deal with Franklin and Jefferson, they deal with the Bolsheviks and the bourgeouisie.

I’d like to add, that from today on, I reject the race (class, gender) card and the power it wields.  As soon as it’s hurled at me, you are scratched out of my book of reasonable people forever.  I no longer consider you a rational member of the human race and will not engage you in conversation. Playing the race (class, gender) card means you fold.  Game over. Why? Because that card is played when you have lost the ability to engage in a conversation of the basic values and principles that keep us free as individuals.  It’s easier for you to live in a fantasy land where the bad guy is some hater that you have created out of some white sheets, than to realize that you as a person, have fallen, like so many in history, for totalitarian ideology wrapped in the guise of loving kindness. And if you keep pointing an accusatory finger in my direction, no one will point an accusatory finger at you.

Excuses Wearing Thin for Obama, Media Pals

The White House trying to dictate who’s a news organization. Democrats out to gut a business group. Obama media allies damning Americans as racist, unpatriotic and treasonous. Is this the America Obama promised when he campaigned to end the cynical and divisive politics of the past?

RTWT

You know that whole troops thing?  Not gonna happen.

At least not until we topple the Karzai government so that we can have a “credible” Afghan partner.  Nothing says “stability” like overthrowing your last “partner”.

Echoing Kerry:

Success in Afghanistan will not be defined by military objectives, Kerry said. “There is no military success ultimately to Afghanistan.”

Emanuel told CNN the U.S. effort requires getting answers to a “set of questions that have to have answers, that have never been asked.”

Obama “will not be rushed to making a decision without asking firm questions and challenging the assumptions,” he said.

Take your time, Miss.  We understand a delicate lady like President Obama reserves the right to change her mind. It’s not like you had two years of running for President to think of how to handle this question or 9 months in the Office, give or take a week or two lobbying for the Olympics, date nights or many vacations to hash out these “distractions” from the full-scale offensive in favor of socialized medicine.

9 months in and Bush was already dealing with 9/11.  By all means, take your time.

Does this war make my ass look fat?  Will Firedoglake and hullabaloo write nasty blog posts about my Change deficit?

Quick, hire Newsweek to take a poll asking how many average New Yorkers think my ass makes tasty chocolate soft-serve.

It’s not like there are people already in Afghanistan who can see that you’ve abandoned them .

And by “me”, I mean this particularly thick-cut of Sully Burger (extra ham):

There is a strange quality to Barack Obama’s pragmatism. It can look like dilly-dallying, weakness, indecisiveness. But although he may seem weak at times, one of the words most applicable to him is something else entirely: ruthless. Beneath the crisp suit and easy smile there is a core of strategic steel.

Correction:  You bring the meat, he’ll bring the buns.

That’s right.  Beneath the veneer of weakness, as one might describe Obama’s prostrate behavior to dictators the world over, is a rigid and pulsing resolve that penetrates even the darkest cavities of Teh Excitable One’s skepticism with jackhammer practicality.

Bizarr-0! Reality:

You live in one.

Most certainly, appearances can be deceiving though the majority of the time they are astonishingly accurate.

When Obama moves, he moves with chilling swiftness. The stimulus package went through Congress like a speeding bullet.

Agreed.  It is chilling.  Like when a chill wind blows through the First Amendment.  Like when his union thugs assault townhall protesters or his Diversity Czar’s comment on Hugo Chavez’s glorious revolution in shutting down an adversarial media.  Also, bullet-like in it’s “chilling swiftness”, oh recent converts to the unitary executive.

On Healthcare:

He (The Obamessiah) has fudged without cornering himself with a commitment he will be unable to fulfil, while leaving open the best practical option in the near future.

I think this line is a bit of projection regarding who is fudging themselves here.

Here’s what is perhaps the most perplexing bit of Sully’s Stockholm Syndrome:

My sense is that on the really divisive issues — accountability for torture, and gay rights, for example — he intends to wait for a second term. If that enrages his base — as it has — they have few other places to go. And he looks bipartisan by resisting them. At the same time, he has not explicitly ruled out bringing justice to the torturers or rights for the gays. He’s able to balance a commitment to the right thing with an almost chilling ability to restrain himself from doing it.

What bravery.  He knows the right thing to do but he’s able to refrain himself from doing it out of pragmatism. Like the bank robber who knows that it’s wrong enough to hide his face but still needs to pay the rent or the sociopath who is so morally flexible that they are void of principle so long as it gets them what they want at the moment.

If only his steely, stubble-faced commitment to do the right thing in Afghanistan could be executed were it not for his chilling ability to loosen himself from his own words and alleged deeply held convictions.

The shorter Sully: As Massah Obama does not feel obligated to placate for the gays until his inevitable 2nd term,  Sullivan’s more than happy to be his House Queer singing madrigals from deep inside some hidden closet in The White House.  You can almost hear this gay Gutenberg of Obama printing indulgences for His new Bible now:

John 14:2 – In my Father’s house are many closets; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a shoe rack for you to sit.

Sullivan’s ability to roll over and slap a cheek for his messianic mancrush is almost too much to bareback.  His main issues (gay marriage / gays in the military) that are central to his only relevance as a commentator are malleable enough that this self-styled and media appointed “conservative” is willing to abandon them out of some imagined leftwing success for his political boytoy.

I’d say he was in the tank were I not so sure that he’s already swirled the bowl and making mudpies in the sewer.

I don’t know what Day By Day’s copyright standards are or I would have reposted it here but this pretty well sums it up.

Frank J. lays it out.
