Welcome back! Glad to have you here. Please let me know how I might serve you today.

What’s new, indeed! As one poster over at Lucianne.com put it, “Tiger Woods and Barack Obama – let me count the ways… ” I can’t think of any better way to put it. Just read the article:
American Thinker-

As a rule, the revelation that a married athlete (or actor, or rock star, or politician) has conducted extramarital affairs with bevy of “party girls” may titillate, but rarely has the power to shock. In those realms, these things happen. Entitled men. Willing women. Deceived wives. What’s new?

Obama Gives Shout Out to ‘Congressional Medal of Honor Winner’ Who Isn’t

This well written article over at American Thinker sums up where we are in terms of the country’s Commander in Chief. From my perch, I think “clueless” is much too endearing a term. I have other, more realistic thoughts.

As a poster said over at Lucianne.com: “In case you missed it live here it is. Do not hurl things at your computer screen in disgust; you’ll only regret it later. The First Narcissist and Community Organizer-in-Chief demonstrates before the entire nation how he is in no way presidential and is totally clueless.”

Here’s the intro to the article and the link to the whole thing:

American Thinker Blog: Our clueless C in C

Our clueless C in C
Clarice Feldman
Twelve soldiers were murdered in cold blood at Fort Hood, Texas. Thirty others were wounded. Our Commander in Chief calls a press conference and begins it with a long thanks to the Department of the Interior and Native Americans who just concluded a conference and then gives a good natured “shout out” to an attendee , all with a studied nonchalance, before he even mentions the outrage on our military base.

Fort Hood

Well, folks, here ya go.

American Thinker: How to take down a great power

How to take down a great power
By J.R. Dunn
Unlike Augustus or Caligula, Lucius Aurelius Commodus was not an emperor who made a strong impression on modern consciousness. Until the release of the film Gladiator, a heavily fictionalized version of his reign, most Americans had never heard of him. In the film he comes across as quite a compelling figure thanks to a first-rate portrayal by Joaquin Phoenix

Read this and then tell me what you think and what you think our “friends” across the pond think.

American Thinker: Half a president

Half a president
By Steve McCann
President Obama apparently wants to do only half of his job — the part that is the most fun. And he’s got his eyes on a higher position.

Barack Obama has been the number one topic of conversation among many of my friends and associates in London. His incompetence, narcissism and danger to the interests of the United States and its allies in Europe are startling people. I was asked “How does Obama view himself as President?” We happened to be sitting in a hotel which overlooked Buckingham Palace and suddenly the answer to the question came to me.

The whole article is here.

I, for one, never, ever believed that he was a brilliant scholar.

brilliant scholar?? Based on what? Or, maybe it’s just me; but I don’t remember reading or, for that matter, seeing his scholarly works – ANYWHERE!!

Give me a break.

Unmasking Obama
By Thomas Lifson
It is now abundantly clear that the image of Barack Obama sold to the American electorate was tightly edited, air-brushed, and exaggerated. He has worn a series of masks — eloquent orator, brilliant scholar, centrist, and literary sensation. All of these masks are coming off as he copes with a job for which image will not suffice. For instance, hiding behind the eloquent orator mask is a guy who says “uhh” a lot when he is winging it, and who makes lots of factual and grammatical mistakes.

Now, thanks to Jack Cashill, the literary mask has been removed. Obama is a literary pretender. Case closed. The evidence is overwhelming that Bill Ayers ghost-wrote Dreams from my Father, the book which established Obama’s pose as a brilliant writer (and therefore a fine mind, in the estimation of many). The stylistic resemblance between the Dreams and Ayers’ work is stunning. Now we know, thanks to Chris Andersen’s new book,that Obama hit a brick wall trying to fulfill his contract to produce a book, and shipped off his notes and tapes to Ayers. That is the classic description of a ghost writer’s assignment. And it completely fits the theories Cashill had inferentially reasoned from the data of his literary studies.
