• President Obama; Speak Softly and Go on Vacation Friday, March 7, 2014
  I’ve butchered President Teddy Roosevelt’s famous phrase, “Speak softly and carry a big stick” to appropriately describe the worst U.S President in history, Barack Obama. The Ukraine is boiling over, Syria continues to kill its own people. The Iran nuclear deal is falling apart and Secretary John Kerry keeps bumbling from one diplomatic meeting to […] […]

• Mandela Memorial Phony Sign Interpreter Metaphor for Obama Presidency Friday, December 13, 2013
  The media is all abuzz over Thamsanqa Jantjie, the fake sign language interpreter who stood a few feet from President Obama during the event at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Much has been made that Jantjie was not really signing at all, but gesticulating wildly and making all the speeches that day, meaningless. In retrospect, this […]

• If Nelson Mandela Had an Illegitimate Son He’d Look Like Barack Obama Saturday, December 7, 2013
  Nelson Mandela was a heroic political figure, who overcame poverty, imprisonment, deprivation and abject persecution. Despite all that, he went on to become South Africa’s first democratically elected Black President. Barack Obama has experienced none of this. Instead, Barack grew up in a life of privilege, private schools and Ivy League Universities. He has […]

• Barack Obama = Neville Chamberlain and John Kerry = Madeleine Albright Monday, November 25, 2013
  Two left wing hacks, President Obama and Secretary of State, John Kerry have given Iran the green light to continue to produce nuclear fissionable material and a nuclear weapon. The so-called negotiated agreement and Obama’s optimistic spin, is eerily similar to that of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain after the Munich Agreement with Adolph Hitler in 1938. […]

• President Obama and the White House Gone Fishin’ Saturday, July 6, 2013
  You can always tell that it is summertime in Washington D.C. It’s not the hot and humid weather, or the thunderstorms, it’s the “Gone Fishin” sign hung on the White House door. During the first summer of Barack Obama’s presidency, June of 2009, he said nothing in support of the thousands of Iranians marching in […]

• President Obama is Feckless and a Coward Tuesday, April 16, 2013
  CAUTION GRAPHIC IMAGES The dual bombings in Boston at the Marathon finishing line was an act of TERROR, you idiot! Yet, there was President Obama, making a statement to the nation only a few hours after the horrific attack, saying anything but the truth. Everyone who has seen the images on television knows that this […]

• President Obama’s “Mission Accomplished” Moment Tuesday, January 1, 2013
  The very last day of 2012 and it’s been high drama up on Capitol Hill. Pundits, Reporters, Congressman, and Senators have all had their moment facing television cameras and talking about whether or not there will be a deal on the pending “Fiscal Cliff” negotiations. The anticipation is as palpable as waiting for midnight on […]

• 2012 in review Sunday, December 30, 2012
  The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 9,400 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 16 years to get […]

• President Obama Returns to Ice Cream Cone Mid-East Policy Monday, December 3, 2012
  After June 12 of 2009, Iranian citizens took to the streets to peacefully protest the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and were met with a brutal show of force by the secret police.  On June 20th one of the protesters, Neda Soltan was murdered in cold blood and Neda became the symbol of Iran’s Green […]

• A Nation Still Divided Wednesday, November 7, 2012
  Tonight’s election result does nothing to bring this divided nation together. The popular vote is almost dead even, (at the time of writing), it is Obama 52,307,548 to Romney’s 51,850,797. Despite the Electoral College numbers, 303 Obama to 203 Romney; with Florida literally calling it a night to complete their count later on Wednesday. We […]
