Rachel McUglyShoes Is Mad Because Obama Actually Had Something NICE To Say About Bush (THE HORROR)

Published by Daisy on September 2, 2010 in General Political Mockery and Really?. 14 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , .

When I was a kid, I LOVED watching old reruns of the Three Stooges. Now? Not so much. Mainly because it reminds me of the folks in this video.

What irritated me most about it was when Olbermann actually restated a POSITIVE comment Obama had made about Bush – about how he was ALWAYS supportive of the troops and a huge supporter of the military and their families.

Rachel McUglyShoes, of course, does that sarcastic eye-roll guffaw thing she does, and looks as if she’s about to hold her breath and jump up and down because something positive – GOD FORBID – was said about Bush. Because, as we ALL know, in the end, EVERYTHING is Bush’s fault. Still. Yep. STILL.

Holy wackness.

Liberals Are Awesome At Attempting To Rewrite History

Published by Daisy on August 31, 2010 in General Political Mockery and Really?. 11 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

You know how Obama and his crew spin just about every craptastic thing they’ve done in the past (almost) two years? Tonight, spinning the Iraq war as some sort of victory for HIM is inevitable. Because, as we all know, everything is all ABOUT HIM, right?

It’s that sort of attempt at spin – the rewriting of history, if you will, that fascinates me about the left. It’s as if someone pulled them aside in undergrad school and taught them some secret class on it. Just look at articles like this one and this one to give you the other side of the spin – that whole truth thing.

Hypocrisy is lovely, isn’t it?

Speaking of attempting to rewrite history, this article did a good job in irritating the crap out of me tonight. It’s about a new Ted Kennedy biography. Here’s a lovely quote about said biography:

Now, a year after Kennedy died, his lifelong biographer Burton Hersh, armed with fresh interviews with Kennedy’s mistress at the time, tells Whispers that the whole July 1969 episode should have been handled as a simple crash, leaving the senator’s legacy untainted. “It was a car accident,” he says. “Ted was a terrible driver. He never paid much attention to where he was going.”

Yep. He displayed a lot of confusion when he left Mary Jo in the car, passed several houses where he could’ve called to get help for her as she was fighting for her life upside down at the bottom of a waterway, but instead walkedback to the party and didn’t even think to report the freakin’ accident until the next day. You know, when other people sort of told him to and stuff.

In fact, a diver named John Farrarthat made this statement about Kopechne’s death in 1970:

It looked as if she were holding herself up to get a last breath of air. It was a consciously assumed position. … She didn’t drown. She died of suffocation in her own air void. It took her at least three or four hours to die. I could have had her out of that car twenty-five minutes after I got the call. But he [Ted Kennedy] didn’t call.

But yeah. That Ted was a stand-up guy, all right. It was just an accident. And you know, Mary Jo was just a girl. One that wasn’t a Kennedy, of course.

GAWD.

In the end, it all comes down to the spin, folks. Always a good thing to remember these days. Just sayin.

Cat Fight!

Well, not really cats, so much, as just total imbeciles.  But still entertaining.

According to this, Charlie Rangel didn’t take too kindly to Obama suggesting that he “end his career with dignity.” At a Harlem political forum a couple days ago, Charlie said, about Obama,  “Frankly, he has not been around long enough to determine what my dignity is. For the next two years, I will be more likely to protect his dignity.”  I WOULD say, ” Oooo- SNAP!” except that “determining what my dignity is” doesn’t even make sense.

Still.  Meow.

Your Sunday Morning Question: So, Who Will Obama And His Buddies Blame Next?

Published by Daisy on August 22, 2010 in General Political Mockery. 24 Comments Tags: , , , .

According to this article, Obama has at least temporarily moved from blaming Bush to blaming Congress for his failures.

Yesterday, he and the rest of the left was blaming Bush, but I guess that started getting old as people with Actual Brains know that he’s trying to cover up for the fact that he has NO IDEA WHAT IN THE SAM HELL HE’S DOING. I guess the next group to point a finger at is Congress. Which is hilarious, given that Congress has a DEMOCRAT MAJORITY.

GAWD.

Anywho, the article – surprisingly from a California newspaper – discusses how Obama has “been adamant with Congress for months now about a new jobs bill to help small businesses. Obama says this really good bill is stalled in the Senate, where so much administration legislation has been crammed through so effectively by Majority Leader Harry Reid.”

And, you know, because it hasn’t been crammed through yet, THAT is precisely the reason that America is still in the crapper when it comes to jobs, after “19 months of promises and $787 billion in alleged stimulation spending” and a steady unemployment rate hovering around 10%.

In light of all this finger-pointing, I thought we’d have a little fun this morning. Much like our call out to all clever and competent readers about what is actually Bush’s fault these days (anything and everything, of course), I’d like to know who you guys think he’s going to blame next. I mean, who will he blame when Republicans make a comeback this November (yep, liberals, this is a strong possibility, in case you were unaware). Who will he blame when he himself is booted out of office in 2012? I’m just curious.

I personally think he’ll turn on McBotox next. Or Bo the Dog. It’s a toss-up, really.

LAAAAAAME.

Obama’s Got A Ton Of Priorities. And This Weekend’s Priority Is To Take Yet Another Vacation.

Published by Daisy on August 21, 2010 in General Political Mockery and News. 31 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

I mean, he’s been working HARD, you guys. Handling all those number one priorities he’s been spewing about over the past year and a half.

According to this article, it’s the family’s fourth – or sixth – vacation. It all depends on who you read, really, but if you’re reading me here at Chicks on the Right, I’ll just say that the dude takes a LOT of damn vacations. Too many, in my humble opinion, as I believe there’s a LOT of work to do, in case everyone didn’t notice.

“Like a lot of the American people, the President is taking a little time with his family to recharge his batteries,” White House spokesman Bill Burton told reporters Thursday. He said he expects the first family will go hiking, spend time at the beach and “enjoy the people and the good food” on the island.

And by “a lot of the American people,” this journalist-person obviously meant “celebrity and rich people elite.” I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t take four or six or sometimes even ONE vacation a year. Especially in this economy.

Today, he strolled a book store and bought some classics for his kids. And then he went to play golf all day. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and consult the gazillion articles and news snippets that will account his entire trip, I’m sure. I’ll wait over here. You know….in between working on and off all weekend.

Ten glorious days of fun in the sun with a bunch of other rich people that are completely out of touch with reality. And better than you. I imagine that this is lovely, although I kind of don’t think I’ll ever know, seeing as how I currently owe $44,000 to the National Debt and stuff.

Have a cocktail on us, Mr. President. Oh wait – I’m sure you already have.

Taking A Stand

Published by Mockarena on August 17, 2010 in You Know What I Hate?. 21 Comments Tags: , , .

So the other day, Obama spoke about the proposed Ground Zero mosque (or spoke AROUND it, more specifically). He said this:

To steal his favorite line – Let me be clear. I don’t disagree with anything he said in that video. The Ground Zero mosquetrosity, while a complete F-U to our country, is legally allowed to be built, and assuming permits and zoning is all up to snuff, there is no law which suggests otherwise. They’ve got the right to build it. We agree on this.

Now watch Obama a day later:

Here’s my issue with this president. He won’t freaking TAKE A STAND on this. He says clearly, “I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making a decision to put a mosque there…” Well, why the hell NOT? What would be wrong with the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES saying precisely what he said in the top video, and then also saying, “Now, having said that, I wish that this group of builders would have some sensitivity to majority of the people in this country who think this is a horribly insensitive idea, and move the mosque somewhere else.” WHY WOULDN’T he say that?

You know what? George W Bush, for all of his faults, would have NEVER stayed “neutral” on this issue. He would have respectfully pointed out the rights afforded to all US citizens by the First Amendment, and then he would have said that this mosque is the worst idea ever. Perhaps the builders would ignore him, but you know what? Perhaps not.

Obama is a total coward. If he thinks the mosque is a good idea, he ought to say so and own it.

HATE.

Every Single Boy Scout Is A Raaaaaacist! Who Knew?

Published by Daisy on August 9, 2010 in General Political Mockery and RAAAAACISTS!!!!. 16 Comments Tags: , , .

Check this video out of the Boy Scouts booing the crap out of President Obama’s “message” at the Boy Scout Jamboree. You know, for being the only President who didn’t show up to the Boy Scout Jamboree because he had to go on The View instead.

I guess the Boy Scouts thought that was an uber-classy move, too.

What a bunch of little racists, huh?

I especially love the kid at the end that screams, “I hope you’re watching this!”

Ah yes, out of the mouths of babes…

And Now, A Lighter Look At Obama’s Lies

BEHOLD: Obama on The View today saying he doesn’t know who Snooki is.

And now, check out this link, in which Obama jokes about Snooki and the rest of the Jersey Shore cast in his White House Correspondents’ dinner speech.

A-HA, Obama!!!!! You might be able to get away with lying about saving and creating jobs, but you will NOT get away with lying about knowing who Snooki is.

We’re on to you.

Best. Picture. EVER.

Of all of the leaders Obama has bowed to in the past year and a half, this is the only one that’s justified. ;)

Hey Mongrels!!

Published by Mockarena on July 29, 2010 in Really?. 11 Comments Tags: , , .

No worries, that’s not an insult, now that Obama has referred to black people that way during his appearance on The View. We’re ALL mongrels, in fact, because by definition that means “of mixed breed, nature, or origin.” So, WHAT UP MONGRELS!!! MONGRELS IN DA HOUSE!

I DVR’d the show today, in case I got up the intestinal fortitude to watch it this evening, but I kind of have my doubts that will happen.

According to the source link, Elisabeth Hasselbeck questioned Obama about the 2.5 million “saved” jobs. He agreed with her that not enough jobs have been created, but then said saving jobs is just as important, remarking that, “Well, it makes a difference, though, if your job was one that was saved,” Plus, you know, there’s that whole inability to PROVE any jobs have been saved that he’s got going for him.

Apparently, Obama’s twin appeared on the show for some of the time, because at one point he said, “We shouldn’t be campaigning all the time. There’s a time to campaign, and a time to govern.” I’m assuming it was his twin brother, you see, because BEING ON THE VIEW IS WHAT WOULD WIDELY BE CONSIDERED AS CAMPAIGNING. GAWD.

Obama Today Versus Obama November 2009

Published by Mockarena on July 23, 2010 in Really?. 5 Comments Tags: , , , .

According to this, Obama used to care about the deficit.

Who are we kidding.  He’s never cared about the deficit.  That should read, “Obama cares even less about the deficit now than he did in November of 2009.”

Obama’s been going around campaigning over the last several weeks, and slamming Republicans at every possible opportunity for (GASP!) wanting to Actually Have Money to pay for unemployment extension benefits.  Those pesky Republicans are concerned about the ever growing deficit, you see, and so they’re asking Obama to hold to his promise that he’s not going to keep buying stuff that he can’t pay for without robbing the next several generations.

The most recent extension of benefits Obama just signed off on adds another $34 billion to the deficit and National Debt.  I get that that’s chump change in Obama’s world, but to taxpayers and their kids and grandkids, that’s some serious cash.   And Republicans?  They voted against the bill because they wanted the money to come from unspent government funds (stimulus) or with budget cuts.  Obama doesn’t ever mention that part, because it’s lots more fun for him to just act like Republicans are thoughtless jerks who hate the unemployed.

In November of last year though, here’s what Obama said about the unemployment benefit extension he signed THEN:  “Now, it’s important to note that the bill I signed will not add to our deficit. It is fully paid for, and so it is fiscally responsible.”

A reporter asked Robert Gibbs to explain this contradiction.  Because apparently eight months ago, Obama was all about being fiscally responsible when authorizing unemployment benefits, but now that he’s all used to spending like money just falls out of the sky, it no longer matters.  Bobby said he’d have to “examine what Mr. Obama said last November” and then get back to the reporter.  I’ll let you guess whether or not that happened.*

This will all happen again near Thanksgiving – when the benefits will run out again.  You can count on BOTH sides of the aisle using it as a talking point during the elections.  Republicans will say it needs to be paid for.  Democrats will say Republicans are mean and stingy.  Hopefully the voting public will realize which side actually wants to do something about the country’s disastrous economy, and vote for the only party who can begin to undo some of Obama’s damage.**

* The answer is no.
** Republicans.

According to this, Obama is going to subject schoolkids to a back-to-school speech again this year.

You guys have GOT to watch this video from the Cato Institute, which describes perfectly why this is so totally inappropriate:

I don’t know why, but I find myself still being surprised a bit when Obama displays this kind of narcissism.

The Dude’s Got A Point

Fareed Zakaria has a good take on the media’s obsession with Obama’s performance during the BP oil spill. They demanded emotion, and in response, Obama set out to kick some BP ass.

And a whole lot of good that did, right?

I maintain my position that I don’t expect Obama to know a way to “plug the damn hole.” I simply expect him to stay out of the way of efforts to do that, and out of the way of efforts to clean the shorelines and prevent oil from reaching them.

And I expect him not to exploit the disaster for his own political gain.

At those things – he’s pretty much been a miserable failure.

Awww. Poor Ed Schultz.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

I love Ed’s complete bewilderment that Obama’s approval ratings keep slipping. He’s genuinely and sincerely baffled by this phenomenon, even commenting, “I’m curious what President Obama has done to make people not like him.”

REALLY? You’re curious, Ed? Well, then I invite you to visit us here at COTR, and just do a search on Obama. It’s pretty simple, really. Obama is transforming the country into something that people are afraid they won’t be able to recognize for much longer.

That, coupled with this report that conservatives increasingly outnumber liberals in this country by kind of a lot, oughta help you start to paint a picture.

Flies Are Swarming Around The Carcass That Is The Obama Administration

Published by Mockarena on June 22, 2010 in Bobby McSmug (Robert Gibbs) and General Political Mockery. 12 Comments Tags: , , , , .

This is like the ultimate house of cards, you guys.  I mean, where to begin?

You’ve probably all heard about the McChrystal shake-up.  I’m seeing breaking news stories that he is resigning, after saying some less than flattering things about the administration in a Rolling Stone interview.  He was summoned to the White House to have his hand slapped, and it was a big to-do, and now apparently he’s resigning.  Never mind the fact that the bigger issue here is that Obama’s war plan is kind of a huge disaster.

In other news, Budget Director Peter Orszag is quitting next month. I suspect he won’t be the last member of the administration to bail prematurely.

And in a big, fat, Obama face-slap, a New Orleans judge lifted the ban on oil drilling today, saying that basically, there is no science to suggest that a ban is necessary.  Naturally, Robert Gibbs is having a total hissy fit over that, telling reporters that “continuing to drill at these depths without knowing what happened does not make any sense.”

Anyway, it’s been kind of a tough day for Barry, what with flies landing on his face and people quitting and judges halting his moratoriums and whatnot.

Color me unsympathetic.
