Byron York posted this smug piece about how birthers should read nationality law concerning Obama’s citizenship.  He makes the point that even if Obama were born in Kenya and not Hawaii, it still wouldn’t matter, because he’d be a US citizen through his parentage according to nationality law anyway. First, there are people born inside [...]

Obama In History

Posted: May 16, 2012 by ShortTimer in Barack Obama, History, Humor

Seth Mandel at Commentary Magazine has a rather thorough piece on how Obama has been inserted into the historical biographies of other presidents: Many of President Obama’s fervent devotees are young enough not to have much memory of the political world before the arrival of The One. Coincidentally, Obama himself feels the same way—and the [...]

Obama the Secular Messiah

Newsweek also offers alternate gay Obama covers.  Some are the usual, with homages to murderer Che Guevara: But another is somewhat more sinister: The supreme all-powerful leader has now deigned what shall now be acceptable.  He shall dictate society to you.  He is all powerful, and he will cradle those he chooses and protect them… [...]

Hilarious parody of Obama’s looking-down-his-nose arrogant hubris, emperor’s new clothes and how he doesn’t see how ridiculous he and is image are, how he’s the black gay Jesus-for-leftists from Chicago, etc., all wrapped into one, from The People’s Cube to-… No, wait, it’s real. I first saw it at The Jawa Report.  Then HotAir.  Then [...]

Via the Weekly Standard: Mr. Obama actually did bare his soul unintentionally today (perhaps the Biden disease is catching) with his astonishing characterization of American fighting men and women, whom he referred to as “those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf.” Really? Most Americans thought they [...]

What interesting timing…   Early May has such significance. Just so interesting.  HT Jawa Report and Adam Baldwin. Obama is the Heartland.  Obama is the nation.  He’s the everyman and the man who is everything.  He is the alpha and the omega, Obama is the One.  He will stop the rise of the oceans, save [...]

Mark Steyn has this great piece over at NRO: There followed an Internet storm of “I Ate a Dog (and I Liked It)” gags. Axelrod, an early tweeter of Romney doggie digs, has now figured out that the subject is no longer profitable for his boss. The dogs he let slip aren’t quite that savvy. [...]

Via HotAir: Last Sunday the New York Times Public Editor, Arthur Brisbane, publicly chastised his paper for not providing adequate scrutiny of President Obama’s record, admitting that they had perhaps “basked a bit in the warm glow” of Obama’s election. An understatement to be sure, but any acknowledgement of bias from the Times is a [...]

Over at the Daily Beast, David Frum has this piece: Read This Book, Obama! by David Frum Apr 15, 2012 4:00 PM EDT Emerging from JFK’s shadow, Lyndon Johnson wielded power ruthlessly—and delivered big results for liberals. In this week’s Newsweek, David Frum on what Obama could learn from Robert Caro’s new biography. A great [...]

David Goldman has this fascinating piece at PJ Media: What a careful reader will take away from Barack Obama’s memoir Dreams from My Father is not only that the president used to eat dog meat, but more importantly, that he identifies with dog-eaters. He wants us to understand that he is one of them. Obama’s [...]
