What President Obama should do with his Nobel prize money

Posted by Deuce Geary on October 9th, 2009

The Nobel Committee has awarded President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize. Apparently, Obama’s drop in approval ratings led the committee to decide that Obama needed a shot of self-esteem and a boost in the size of his personality cult.
But forget the man’s ego (and the world’s inverted moral compass) for a minute, and think about [...]

Getting back up to speed

Posted by Deuce Geary on October 3rd, 2009

I’ve been too burnt out on politics to blog much lately, my last post being about Navy’s narrow loss to Ohio State four weeks ago. Lots of interesting stuff happening since then, but my mind goes numb trying to decipher the irrationality of lefties, and while writing about what everyone else is writing about is [...]

Conservatives can rhyme, too

Posted by Deuce Geary on August 12th, 2009

The Left has grown furious lately with the knowledge that they don’t have an exclusive right to organize. They’ll go off the deep end (wait, they did that a long time ago, didn’t they?) when they realize they don’t have the exclusive right to rhyme in protest, either. Click the image to read the second [...]

When iconic images collide . . .

Posted by Deuce Geary on August 6th, 2009

Well, in this case, the end result seems rather obvious.

Think they’ll stop complaining now that the white face is gone? Nah, me either.
UPDATE: I changed the original Joker image to include the “Socialism” caption. I’m still catching up on my reading about this, and didn’t realize the caption was part of the original artwork. Speaking [...]

Zelaya for SCOTUS?

At Grandpa John’s, Steve Burri exposes Obama’s motive behind his latest Honduran madness.
Hold on a second, somebody’s telling me something . . .
Huh? It’s satire? Really?

Something, anything, Mr. President

Posted by Deuce Geary on June 16th, 2009

Jonah Goldberg calls out President Obama and the Left today in the L.A. Times:
During the Bush years, what was best about liberalism had bled away. One of the worst things about the Republican Party has always been its Kissingerian realpolitik, the “it’s just business” approach to world affairs that amounted to a willful blindness to [...]

Create-or-save-a-palooza

Posted by Deuce Geary on June 10th, 2009

As I noted in an update to a previous post, Pundette is rounding up the best “create-or-save” examples around the blogosphere. (Background here and here.) If you run across any good ones, email Pundette the links at pundette at gmail dot com.
As for me, I’m up late working. But I figure I’ll be OK tomorrow, [...]

Winner of the Obama Salvation Award

Posted by Deuce Geary on June 10th, 2009

There have been a few bloggers calling bullshit on President Obama’s grandiose — but inherently unproveable — claims to have “created or saved” hundreds of thousands of jobs.
But the best commentary by far is Andrew McCarthy’s announcement at The Corner that he is “Getting Healthier by the Day!” It reads:
I just did or saved 100 [...]

Common sense on the Obamas’ Broadway outing

Posted by Deuce Geary on May 31st, 2009

I don’t like the word “moderate,” but there’s such a thing as fair, and today’s post by Jazz Shaw at The Moderate Voice is about as fair as they come on the subject of the Obamas’ night out on Broadway:
To be fair here, our first observation should go out to our Republican and conservative friends [...]

The perfect term for Obama’s nuclear policy . . .

Posted by Deuce Geary on April 6th, 2009

Is coined by Karl at Patterico’s Pontifications. It rhymes with “Leninist.” But isn’t.

It’s as if Barack Obama and Sarah Palin were a zero-sum game

Posted by Deuce Geary on March 18th, 2009

At least, according to Ace:
Barack Obama isn’t merely destroying his own unearned reputation for smarts; he’s adding to Sarah Palin’s day by day. The public is beginning to wonder if Obama really was as prepared and brilliant as he press swore; and if they’re wondering about that, they must also be wondering about other claims [...]

Anticipating the charge: “Rich Lowry — Racist!”

Posted by Deuce Geary on March 13th, 2009

It’s a bogus charge that’s been made before (which I guess can be said for most high-profile conservatives), but look for cries of “Rich Lowry is a racist” to resume because of his apt summary of a large part of President Obama’s young presidency in his piece, “The Obama Three-Step”:
Barack Obama has perfected a three-step maneuver that [...]

David Brooks wakes up and smells the Kool-Aid while “Republicans for Obama” remain as clueless as ever

Posted by Deuce Geary on March 3rd, 2009

There is a lot posted on righty blogs already (like at Ace, Michelle, and HotAir) about NYT columnist David Brooks’s all-too-predictable lament that he was hoodwinked by Obama the moderate during the campaign only to find the country run by Obama the extremist:
Those of us who consider ourselves moderates — moderate-conservative, in my case — [...]

Kudos to Obama on his Congressional “press conference”

Posted by Deuce Geary on February 24th, 2009

I think President Obama deserves an “attaboy” for his Q & A with legislators yesterday as he closed out the “fiscal summit” held at the White House. What little blog coverage I’ve seen comes from lefties characterizing McCain’s challenge to new presidential helicopter costs as a sour grapes-style “cheap shot” or ridiculing Eric Cantor’s obsequiousness/civility [...]

Looks like that Obama graphic is still relevant after the election . . .

Posted by Deuce Geary on January 29th, 2009

Which one? This one:

Once Obama was elected, I thought it made no more sense to keep the banner up. But I think it’s time for a comeback:
The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without [...]

I already knew bipartisanship was a sham, so why be surprised at this?

Posted by Deuce Geary on January 23rd, 2009

Allah at HotAir is chiding President Obama for abandoning bipartisanship, based on this report from Politico:
During a morning meeting with congressional leaders from both parties, President Obama acknowledged the philosophical differences between his stimulus package and the Republican plan – but, sources familiar with the conversation said, Obama then noted: “I won.”…
Allah introduced that excerpt [...]

Inaugural crowd “guesstimates”

Posted by Deuce Geary on January 22nd, 2009

What’s a million or so people between friends? Quite a bit, actually.
The estimates of the number of people who witnessed President Barack Obama’s inauguration on Tuesday range from a high of 1.8 million to a low of 800,000.
Arizona State University Journalism professor Stephen Doig is responsible for the lower figure.
“My job as a journalist is [...]

It would have been called “waiver.gov” if they were being honest.

Posted by Deuce Geary on December 22nd, 2008

Michelle has the details on how the Obama transition team got around the usual requirements for obtaining a “.gov” domain for “change.gov.” The .gov domain is reserved for official government sites. Her post details how the domain doesn’t even meet the requirements for an actual government site, let alone a non-government site, and how the [...]

Barack Obama should have only been a runner-up for Time’s 2008 Person of the Year

Posted by Deuce Geary on December 17th, 2008

By now, you all know that Time Magazine has shocked the world by naming Barack Obama its 2008 Person of the Year. Yawn.
The real news here is who the magazine overlooked. (And I’m not talking about Tina Fey, who horrifyingly ranked fourth in a reader poll.) I’m talking about someone who didn’t even make the [...]

New Splash Page on Obama Website Reflects Policy Reversals

Posted by Deuce Geary on December 4th, 2008

I know, I know . . . I’m no Slublog. But it’s supposed to look like a quick revision!

But let’s not get too self-satisfied about Obama’s reversals on national security issues and even the windfall profits tax on oil companies. There’s still plenty of room for mischief.
