No and it wasn't the cat or the dog, either. Just a foul air of self importance.
At this rate, Republicans won't have to take him down politically - other Democrats will.
You didn’t think he was going to disband the cult just because he’s president now, did you? Behold the launch of Hopenchange 2.0: Turning his grassroots organization from an operation to get him elected into an operation to pressure members of Congress to adopt his agenda.

What u expect? Is part of acting presidential which he has been doing for 3 years now. From the fake columns to the trip to Berlin. The problem starts tuesday when the acting stops. It's been like one of those mtv rapper videos with the RR cars etc. All while we are in the worst economic downturn in decades. Not too bright.

Didn't anyone tell this Bozzo the elections over...He won!
Look the "Soul Train" ride into town was pimp enough but I really like the $150 Million party while we are at war and the economy is struggling. But after spending almost 600 million so freely on "the One" so far what's another 150?
Somebody needs to snap this boy out of own self-indulgant fantasy land and tell him to get his butt to work! If he allows San Fran Nan and Prince Harry to push through their "own" plans for destroying the country with their socialist agenda he will certainly get the blame for the shit hitting the fan. If he alienates the Blue Dog Dems and conservatives he risks the public seeing through his act and he'll be a 4 year bust that could go down as another Jimmy!
No voting "present" anymore Barry!

Gee, only one bandera Americana in the background; he often used two. Probably doing his bit to save government funds. Set the example. Of course there is the really big potlatch planned for 1/20.
"potlatch" from Answers.com:
"Literally, ‘giving’. An extravagant festival held by the Indian tribes of the northern Pacific coast, especially the Haida, the Nootka, and the Kwakiutl. The ceremonial destruction or giving away of possessions by chiefs and leading warriors establishes superiority in social or political status, or permits the assumption of inherited rights. One chief might ‘shame’ another by destroying valuable pots, killing slaves, and burning down houses. If the other chief failed either to give away or to destroy more things, then he would lose public esteem. According to legend, the first patlatch[sic] was concerned with the exchange of feathers, long regarded as sacred objects by the North American Indians."

And speaking of American flags, we have a new design. Something very Roman (in the decadence period) about it:

Get used to that face, Lala, you'll be seeing a lot of it. At least Barney Frank isn't the new Pres. Imagine seeing that on TIME thirteen times in one year.

Fred,
I have four newspapers in front of me right now, all four have pages and pages devoted to him. It's been going on since Nov. We've barely watched the news in the last few days because it's all about him. Last night we watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (250 channels and nothing on) because we ran out of Tivo-ed NCIS shows.

"A new CBS/New York Times poll has 79% of Americans saying they are optimistic about the next four years with Obama as president, compared to only 16% who are pessimistic; the new CNN poll gives him an 84% approval rating; and the new ABC/Washington Post poll gives him an 80%-15% approval ratings."

I guess I can now start referring to everyone here as the 16% ers.

Still laughing about your and Anon's incredibly stupid remarks.
Norman Podhoretz is an ex liberal? Too funny.

Wow. In checking the wingnut websites it certainly appears the 16% ers are losing it. They are becoming completely unhinged.
And I'm am having the time of my life. Taking a few days off and spending it with my kids enjoying the celebration. Mrs. jharp is attending the historic inauguration and I couldn't be happier for her.
What a great time for America. The cancer that has infected our country has been stopped. The healing begins Tuesday.

Harpo,
If you had read the link YOU put up you would have seen Norman Podhoretz was a liberal. You are the ignorant one here.
Posted by: Lala | Sunday, January 18, 2009 at 05:09 PM
"If you had read the link YOU put up you would have seen Norman Podhoretz was a liberal."
I did read the link "I" put up. Did you? You are delusional. Norman Podhoretz was a liberal? Yeah right. And the earth is flat.
Just spoke with my wife in D.C. Electric atmosphere. We've been to some big events but she says there is nothing like it. The whole world is celebrating.
Except, of course, the 16% ers.

Here's mine
"He ignored them. To Podhoretz's dismay, his old chum Norman Mailer trashed it in Partisan Review. Podhoretz was extruded from Manhattan literary society. But, in some respects, announcing that he was an arriviste helped him to arrive. Podhoretz had become notorious—and then became more so by moving to the right within the ranks of the Democratic Party. He reveled somewhat in his apostasy, having always been envious of the 1930s generation of intellectuals that had undergone the searing experience of breaking with Marxism. Now he would replicate the heroic conversion experience by opposing the New Left he had once championed.
Podhoretz decried the rise of George McGovern and tried to return the Democratic Party to traditional anticommunist liberalism of the very sort he had previously denounced as complacent and retrograde. When Jimmy Carter took swipes at an "inordinate fear of communism" and affirmative action became a staple of the Democratic Party platform, however, Podhoretz had had enough. Eventually, he, along with other neocons, came to see liberals and radicals as one and the same. In the 1980s, Podhoretz embraced Ronald Reagan and moved firmly over to the right. He never looked back."

Hey Harpo maybe you can be in the the BO rap video. Sitting on a RR with some chick in a bikini with her ass in ur face and a gold 79 hanging from ur tongue. Keep dreaming about a cbs NYT poll. That's like having the wolf count the hens he wants to eat. One is famous for reporting created news and the other one is junk. The only crazed one here is u who after having ur slut elected u keep coming back for more punishment. Get lost looser. To the HP. Better yet keep coming back so we can slap u a couple of times more like they used to do you in recess.
Posted by: nina | Sunday, January 18, 2009 at 06:45 PM
Lala,
Yeah right Lala. That proves it. Podhoretz was a liberal.
And the earth is flat according to some passages in the Bible.
You are an idiot. Thankfully you and your ilk are only 16% of the country.

Wait a minute here. My guy won. That would make YOU the loser.
And my lovely wife is in D.C. celebrating in person what the whole world is celebrating.
And the 16 %er losers like you are whining on a message board. Too funny.

Nah, things are great at home. My wife has some business in D.C. and I figured it'd be best for me to stay and handle our two teenagers. I travel enough.

Harpo she is celebrating she is away from U. We can add a nice grill with a couple of diamonds spelling ASS . You 'll look like a winner. No matter if your guy wins you are still a loose. Time for mirror talk. You'll see what a looser really looks like.

You are delusional.
Obamas inauguration expense is equal to 10 hours of George Bush's Iraq goodwill mission.
And we actually get something out of it. Imagine that. Spending money here in our own country that actually benefits Americans. And as a bonus no one gets killed.

It seems our half-wit friend's like Harpo, Lame-O and Sparky have the typical moonbat sense of humor which is to say... none!
They are quick to lash out and full of hate these troll losers.
Just imagine how their children will turn out surrounded by all of that hate!
What are the odds they contribute to a charity or provide any community support?

Victor Davis Hanson on Obama's profligate partying ways (Pajamas Media):
"The more he willingly takes on the Lincolnesque or Caesarian mantle, the more the media worries that we have put too many expectations on Obama. Well, surely one way to lower our expectations would be to take a night-flight on a 737 to DC from Chicago, rather than reenact train-bound Young Mr. Lincoln. (Remember, unlike Lincoln, Obama flew back to Chicago from DC to take the train back to DC again). It sort of reminds one of the lectures about the Obama family off limits / Obama family center stage for photo-ops and interviews."

A rap video because they are so carefully made as to present an illusion of grandeur which doesn't exist. Just like BO. I am half black so take your scream of racism somewhere else. Yes two oo because u r a double loooser.
