Updated: It Gets Worse/ Obama's Not Ready For Prime-Time Presidency

My God, what a contemptible fool is Obama. h/t Instapundit.

A CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR WINNER who isn’t.

Tragically, the latest gaffe from our Not Ready For Prime-Time CIC is more like the recent SNL, than the old. He simply is not funny. Worse than that, he is a disgrace. That he might be able to change, or even simply influence the direction of this nation to any extent is a pathetic joke of history, one of possibly historic proportions we must defiantly fight against every single day of his term.

But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a "shout-out" to "Dr. Joe Medicine Crow -- that Congressional Medal of Honor winner."  Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?

Anyone at home aware of the major news story of the previous hours had to have been stunned. An incident like this requires a scrapping of the early light banter. The president should apologize for the tone of his remarks, explain what has happened, express sympathy for those slain and appeal for calm and patience until all the facts are in. That's the least that should occur.

I sense that Obama didn't like the scent of old Indian when he gave the medal to Joe Medicine Crow:

he's just trying to conceal his secret fetish for ancient indians.

seriously, this guy shouldn't speak unless he has a script. kinda makes one wonder who is writing the script.
please libs, remind me how smart and wonderful the guy is...

the banking committee gaffe, along with "profit/earnings ratios" is leaving me less than inspired.

this guy could catch bush on iq if you spotted him 30 points.

"Whuddup, yo? Yo! Check it... props to my homie ovah der.. Congressional Trophy Winner, Old Crow Medicine Show. Dayum! You old, yo! Eenywayzzzz... so, yo! we had some serious sh!t go down, SERIOUS SH!T!"

"What I want to say about this is... like, you know, that sh!t is CRAZY! That is some CRAZY-@SS sh!t!"

"And tears for the mothers and the brothers and sisters and the lovers."

"And like, whoever, or like whatever occasioned this crazy-@ss outburst of violence is going get an angry text from ME! I'm serious! F^%k that, I'll take 'em off my facebook."

"To the media and all the hater players, I say this: we don't need to be hating on a brother for the church or synagogue or temple or some other religious building he hung out in for 20 years, aight? Let's be cool, y'all. We love us some Muslims."

"If y'all gots more questions for The O-man, my boy Gibby will filter them for me. And thanks for not asking us sh!t that makes me look bad, yo?"

[Philip McDaniel]

LOL!

[Dan Riehl]

Funny, yes. Over the line, candidly, I was pondering that but opted to let it stay, especially as I did a quick riff myself the other day. Can't be a hypocrite, after all. But I do post under my real name and have to live with everything here. So, let's not cross the line we all like to edge up to often times. w3bgrrl's comment is hereby ruled in bounds - but just. ; )

"Dayer Lawd!! Dees white folk shurly gon lynch mah black azz now dat nother one a dem be gon. I am outta heya, fo sur! Feats don fail me now!!"

Obama is a vile sack of sh@t that needs to be kicked out of office as soons as possible.

[cindi]

OMG we3grrl........way to funny. Thanks for allowing it Dan, Kind of like a SNL take on her part. Fair is fair. hah

i have nothing against him personally, and i can't blame a guy for policies that he is incapable of understanding...
just wish tried his hand at governance, BEFORE he came to the wh.

he just strikes me as a mannequin.

[ET]

Barry is the embodiment of style over substance. All foam and no beer. Did we ever get his transcripts from Oxy? He's a C+ affirmative action dipshit. He's no mannequin, he's a puppet. Axelrod has his hand so far up his ass he can't blink.

President Barak(sp?) Obama = Mistake

[mark l.]

in alternate reality bush would have gotten the award right, but probably would have gotten in trouble for calling the guy, "injun joe".

[Dave B]

Are you kidding me? What kind of advisors does our President have? A shout out? Are these high school buddies? How much longer do we put up with this before we demand more? I must be a racist.

Obama is not ready for anything, he is a Harvard Law school graduate; top of his class!

A Harvard Law school graduate who, by the way, thinks there are 57 states in the union.

Silly kidz, Professors are indoctrinating fools.

End tenure and Professors will be unable to destroy Liberty.

[w3bgrrl]

Dan, point taken on the real v. internet name. I appreciate you letting it stay. I'll be more careful in the future.
