This sentence in the article says it all:

“Seriously, though, think about it: if you have to advertise that something is working, it’s probably not.”

All the emblems, straw issues and phoney-baloney media hype can’t put Obama back together once he falls off the wall — sooner or later it will happen — I just pray it will be sooner!

Is there is a day coming that will signal the public sea change of the abandonment of group-adulation? That will be the day when he does one of his rambling unveilings and there is absolutely no response from the audience.

It will mimic the “uncomfortable pause” that occurred the other day while the latest HHS nominee waited for the teleprompters to drop back in to hiding, only it will be open ended.

It will indicate that the synchophants in the media have finally realized how obvious and frequent are the evidences of his incompetence.

He truly is an actor who has not learned his lines.

Hugo Chavez Obama claimed that saving 25 police jobs in Ohio is proof that the stimulus is working. I couldn’t stop laughing. Well only 3,499,975 jobs to go. By the way BO how many jobs did we lose last month? I wonder how many of those losses are due to the panic selling in the stock market and the fear that it caused. This guy has no shame. He will say or do anything to convince people he is right. If you want to see our future just look at Venezuela. However, more and more people are leaving his morally bankrupt program. Even Mayor Bloomerg of NY has now come out against the BO tax hikes and people are calling the decline in the stock market, the Obama Bear market. Anyone want to bet how long it takes the American people to catch on? Until they do just keep on laughing this guy and his team of bunglers or should I say burglars are a riot.

It is no surprise that the messiah of the Americanized media acts this way. After all he and his regime consist of preppies and Ivy Leaguers who are convinced of their perfection. They never had to work a day in their lives. We now have a government of the preppies, for the preppies, and by the preppies.

Victor Davis Hanson was quite foresightful in his article last month stating that President Obama is laying the foundations for the biggest conservative revival since Reagan.

I have a great idea! How about armbands with the symbol on it, and stickpins, tie tacks, and lapel buttons? We could even put the symbol on knife handles and carve it over the doors of our government buildings. Maybe we can make flags with the symbol and mount them on poles that people can carry around in marching parades? We should burn all the other symbols in a big pile marching around while holding these new pole-mounted flags and singing” Yes we did!”, and use the fist bump as our salute! We can imprison anyone who refuses to swear allegiance to the symbol, and abort the mentally or physically deficient, and allow old people to “die with dignity” so they do not drain our precious healthcare dollars needed for the Fatherland and our Furher, I mean Messiah. We will need a little healthcare symbol, too. Maybe a skull over crossed syringes, though I think something similiar has been done before. We will become Supermen!
Whoops, got carried away there for a minute. Ali that healthcare stuff comes next week.

I enjoyed your article!
My only comment is that people think Rush is polarizing because they are told he is.
Obama is truly a polarizing figure. Not only that, everyone around him or that has been around him is or tries to be,

I think everything that is written about Obama should start with “President Obama who is a polarizing figure”….. etc.
You know, like “Bill Clinton, the polarizing impeached ex president”.
Just write it and say it over and over and over….. things will start sticking to them.

The stickers are a gimmick (and that’s the only word for it) borrowed from the NRA back in the depression. I’ll bet Rahmbo is so proud of himself for coming up with the idea.

As for Rush, for the President of the United States to pick on a talk show host, even one as successful as the Fat Man, makes Bambi and the rest of the Little Men look small, not the other way around.

How great that Rahm is helping Rush find his audience, perhaps next the former ballet star will challenge Rush on dancing with the stars.

Perhaps the labels we need are “MSM created and approved”, “Tales from HopeandChange”, “PBA” for potential bipartisan appeal, “TR” for thinking required, and “Rush Delivery” for the big guy himself.

The White House’s focus on Rush will continue for about another week and then it’s time to play the race card again, right?

“The Medium is the Message”

Have you noticed how Darkest Pajamastán is rigged in advance for the “bait and switch” gimmick? It happens to this keyboard frequently — and I daresay this keyboard deserves it, being a cultivated despiser of — but anyway, there it is: one can see either half of each scribble separately with the wisdom of the peanut gallery at the bottom, or the printable (_sic_) version in tiny type with no peanuts, but never the whole _megillah_ all at once.

Q. Can the neocomrades have designed it on purpose?
A. No, it must be Darwinism. They are not that clever.

The piece at hand is exceptionally suitable since the neocomradess scribblin’ has nothin’ substantial to say on either page, only K. Rove and M. MacLuhan class agitprop and iconography. (( Pardon me while I give the former his better-than-equal time:

“WE are an Empire now! And when WE act, WE create our own Reality!!”

OK, time to move on. Where was I? ))

Ah, yes, baited and switched (swutch?) was I. The goods advertised in the shop window were MacLuhanesque “a toilet with a wad of cash inside”, but step inside and what one finds is not at all the West Pajamatown branch of the Andy Warhol Museum of Cultsure, only yet another incensodoriferous shrine to the Witch Doctor of Democracy™, “Rush Limbaugh isn’t perfect, but he’s closer to the minds of most Americans than” &c. &c.

Lacking the advantages (if there be any) of a post-1968 wombschoolin’ as I do, Page Two seems automatically superior to Page One simply because it neither contains nor discusses icons / images / cartoons / heraldry. Nevertheless, the fact remains that there is no discernible reason why Page Two should follow Page One.

The neocomradess might at least have included [A] a snapshot of Himself side by side with [B] the Mark of the Beast for her PJ kiddies to kompare ’n’ kontrast! I appreciate that it would be a violation of Big Management Party Axiom CCCXVIII (”History is bunk”) for Neocomradess P. Meister to include [C] the salient _Urbild_ from the dark ages of Franklin Delano Depression. Not being so constrained myself, I had only to struggle with that “SRC IMG= ALIGN=” fandango, with such success or failure as [D] anybody may go see for herself.

Speakin’ of Himself, [E] the marketin’ arm seems not yet to have thought of makin’ available a Mount Rushbo bumper- or windshield-sticker for the devotees to paste on all their principal belongin’s as a sign that they–both dittoheads and wordly goods–are 100% unpolluted by any [expletive deleted] public-sector content. And damned proud of it!

Happy days.

Emblems to distinguish recovery projects. How middle school will they get? When the first campaign emblem showed up, my 94 y/o mother said, this guy is full of himself. She is NOT politically active or astute, but she saw it!
The plane, the podium emblem, all of these emblem’s just came across as so pretentiously silly.
What no one has mentioned here is what really fascinates me. Think about it folks…. think,
“The seeds were planted in October after Democracy Corps, the Democratic polling company run by Carville and Greenberg, included Limbaugh’s name in a survey and found that many Americans just don’t like him.”
A polling organization tied to the Democrat party, announced by the alphabet media (now officially referred to as the PR department of the Obama administration & Democrat party), did a poll that said Americans don’t like Rush.
Yeah, right! Come on now folks, how pathetic is this? A Democrat polling company, conducted a poll, and the results are, people hate a (& perhaps all) conservatives.
I’d say the Democrats responded to a “push poll” designed to evoke a specific response by a specific demographic who would response negatively to anything & everything related to, Republicans, conservatives, Christians, Bush, Cheney, elephants, etc., etc.
The problem for Democrats is, as I see it, they bought into one of their own polls, & then they foolishly tried to sell it to the public as a real, authoritative, poll response. Then, Democrats tried to sell this through the PR department for the Obama administration & the Democrat party (that would be the alphabet TV networks like NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CBS, NPR, the New York Times, CNN, & the plethora of others),
to the American public.
How accurate can they think such a poll is? How stupid is it that they actually tried to push this as something all should accept as fact?
I have this coastal beach-front property located in northeastern New Mexico that I want to sell to the Democrat’s & any others who but into the legitimacy of this “poll.”

“The top Republican in the House is seizing on the latest spike in unemployment to call for a *FREEZE* on government spending … Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the jump in unemployment to 8.1 percent and the loss of 651,000 jobs in February is a sign of a worsening recession that demands better solutions . . . .”

Did you not notice Pam, Obama’s whle Presidential campaign was one big diversionary tactic, he diverted the attention of American voters from issues such as his place of Birth, the fact that he had never held a proper job, his inexperience, his relationships with some decidedly dodgy characters and his fantasised family history.

In Shakespeare’s Henry IV part 2 the King asks his son?

Therefore, my Harry,
Be it thy course to busy giddy minds
With foreign quarrels; that action, hence borne out,
May waste the memory of the former days

So the diversionary tactics are not even new. Someone should ask:

….Therefore my Barry,
be it thy course to busy giddy minds
with spending and stimulus bills, that actions
thus borne out may waste the memory of prosperity?

Seriously; Obama is not helping black people by his incompetence and hubris. And is this how Harvard educates blacks? Pretty bad. Obama’s not much of a role model for anything constructive. Might be good at politics, but not at this level. And he shows his lack of class when he meets and greets foreign dignitaries. How totally pathetic!

As a lifelong citizen of Illinois, from which President Obama learned his political career, I believe he will always try to make it someone elses fault, divert attention away from himself whenever possible, and whatever decisions he makes will be based upon what is best for himself (not necessarily those he represents). I’d start looking for pay backs to those who contributed to his election, people now paying kickbacks to him (the route will be indirect), or increased control over the constituencies.
As for his campaign promises and and policies, they are only to apply to others, not himself. I fear that it will require the American people to stand up, literally march on Washington, in order to stop him.

“I’d urge Obama not to be “bitter” and thereby “cling” to the office of the Presidency.”

I do not count this a grand scheme of Obama’s; he is merely a mal-equipped product of affirmative action and Chicago machine politics.
Sadly, Mr B, he is just stupid and vain enough to do cling to his office — even if our country and way of life goes into the toilet.

One of two things will happen: he will preside over a confederation of dunces who will do their imitation of Slim Pickens, riding the bomb all the way from the bowels of the B-52 to the air burst or he and they will manage to throttle back a bit and the mighty engine of the American economy — despite them — will regain some of what it lost and people will be dumb enough and reluctant enough to vote for the status quo in 2010 and 2012.

If that latter alternative occurs, I just hope enough of us remember the pain we’re feeling now.

..also, a note to Jack, #30 above: you ought to look at a few more posts around here on PJM. There is plenty of substance. If it does not appeal to you, then pack it in and go to some pointy-headed site where you can dwell comfortably in your ivory tower.

As the smelly masses lose their savings and retirements he is too busy campaigning to pay attention to the “gyrations” of the stock market. “Gyrations ” would indicate a up as well as a down. Not the total in the toilet tank that is the result of his decisons. I am convinced he is doing this all on purpose as to prolong the fear and the misery. Why waste a good crisis while at the same time prolonging it to your own advantage. In my mind he is the ultimate domestic terrorist. How much longer til he crashes and burns. I think having the ability to see through this charlatan is genetic. I pray that hordes of people tune into Rush to see what all the fuss is about and get converted. He is the worst disaster to ever contaminate the White House. I loathe and despise him. I knew he was going to be bad but I had no clue he would be this bad.

1. The executive branch

3. CEO’s who see their company’s value decline even after cutting spending, so they bail. (and watch many people lose their jobs)
4. small business owners, who are being taxed to the hilt, bail (and watch many people employed by small business lose their jobs)

both 3 & 4 – businesses can’t make money if no one is BUYING. They have no choice but to cut expenses.

5. foreign investors who decide to collect on the American governments debt to them. The government pays off that debt by PRINTING money. Printing money leads to double digit (or greater) inflation. Get a wheelbarrow.

The Gordon Brown gifts incident was just hide-under-a-rock embarrassing to anyone who has any sense of decorum.

I was about to type that Obama is a People magazine president, but he’s more like an Us Weekly president. He and his wife are gossip magazine fodder. Is Barack dying his hair? What is Michelle wearing now? When all the glossy-paged tabloids can’t go a week without at least one article or picture of him, you know he’s not deep. As the days and weeks pass, it’s more and more obvious how unequipped for this job he is. During the campaign I said that any chiarasmatic black actor could do everything Obama was doing, and it looks like that’s who we’ve got. A chiarasmatic actor who can read the lines, sell the dream, play up to his fans, and contains very little substance.

We’re gonna need all of your ugliness and hatred to help us win the next election.

From your effort, one gets the notion that you, like Your-Man-With-The-Tan in Washington, spent too many nights in the limousine – You’ve scratched your brain.

A suggestion that I heard on a talk radio show out of Denver. While we are still citizens and before we become subjects, what if we could have our own symbol that shows our disgust and resistance to O’s policies. I suggest we all carry a plastic picnic fork in plain view, (so we can recognize like minded thinkers), in our shirt pocket. This non-threatening item would symbolize the angry crowds that if pushed too far will rise up and in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence take our country back.

No, Jack, Obama is not “great”. And criticism is not attack, though the hypocritical Demon-cratic would prefer you see it that way. Our President is a sham; a snake-oil salesman and P.T Barnum rolled into one.

He has no legitimate management experience. He’s “overwhelmed” and “exhausted” and “surprised” at the amount of work he is expected to do. He is, at best, naive.

He won’t leave home without a teleprompter.

He chooses to pick fights with a radio talk show host instead of doing his job. And he encourages his staff to participate in such playground squabbles.

The solution is right in front of us, but the snow job was thick and therefore the fight will be long and arduous. We must return to a government that does the job it was intended to do: be there to defend its citizens and assure them their “inalienable right” to live, live freely, and PURSUE happiness. Get our government out of the business of guaranteeing happiness and let Americans be responsible for their own lives.

Obama will never meet with Rush in a debate, Obama can not have his teleprompter.
We don’t know who Obama is. With a teleprompter he is brillant, without a teleprompter he is a blithering idiot. We need to know who is in the teleprompter, the Wizard of ooze, maybe.

JackT…Either you’re off your meds or you don’t have any wealth to worry about President Teleprompter taking. Either way you’re a sad mess.

and for gosh sakes, whatever else you do in making it, don’t forget the ever increasingly less subtle allusion to a halo!
