“the Republicans aren’t letting him,” — Johnny won’t let me play with the toy car…

“noting, for example, that he discussed the economy with New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I) for 15 minutes before golfing” — It’s recess time so let’s do this quick so we can go play.

As for the rest, I really think they don’t comprehend even the barest of concepts of economics. I’m nowhere near cognizant on the subject but everything they’re doing is only going to give rise to a black market economy.

. . .from a Leftist perspective pointing out that Obama is not actually an African American by the accepted use of the term, but is actually an Arab American. (Which may be at best theory, I know.)

I’ve assumed for months that the onset of his endgame will be when the Left desperately and pathetically tries to resurrect the “First Black President” meme for later use. And it may well be underway. We’ve got to remember that for all the histrionics, Obama is a tool of the Democratic Party and their money machine, not the other way around. And they will abandon him when he is of no further use, with a degree of prejudice commensurate to his perceived liability.

I mean, I talked to my wife about the economy for 15 minutes last night before watching a movie, so I guess I’m qualified to lead the nation.

Laser Light focus on Jobs is what Obama said at the State of the Union address. And he hasn’t lifted a finger. He is so busy planning and taking his vacations there no time for work. How hard a life he must have.

I just hope that he didn’t miss his tee time.

What a GUY!

Then I followed the link. Unbelievable.

it’s just not the attribution I think he is looking for.

Even publications like the WSJ are trying to will things in the right direction by highlighting the positives. Exempli gratia today’s unemployment news was headlined with “Private Sector adds 67,000 Jobs”. At least they get it. This economic situation is bad for everyone and we all need to do our part- even if it’s cheerleading.

The problem with Obama is his fundamental economic policies, invoked as a reflexive reaction to personal ideology, don’t give him anywhere to go. The country is broke and in a few months they are going to unleash a tax tsunami to try and close the gap. So we get comments such as the one you mentioned with Mayor Turd-crumb.

Obama is just biding time until the November elections come. Then watch what happens before a new Congress is seated or has time to act.

Democrats won’t be happy until the people surround DC like Frankenstein’s Castle- with pitchfork and torches in hand.

22 minutes with Buffett on the deficit? The man is completely devoid of the responsibilities that came with the job. He’s treating his term as if he were president of a company not a nation. But even presiden’s of companies know the more problems there are the LESS time you take away from office until some of those problems can be worked out And he claims to want to know whose ass to kick. Just look in the mirror, Mr. President.

I swear the next person who tells me they don’t even know how to play golf has my vote for president I don’t care who they are. And please refresh me on why he got a Nobel?

…Try David Corn.

DOOM.

That’s all Obama’s got . . . as I am sure Michelle can confirm. Frustrating for her . . . a disaster for the country.

I have been telling people since the election thatBO is not emotionally stable enough to govern. All his life he has had nothing but affirmation and easy success. But almost from the beginning of his presidency, his approval rating has been going down and folks have been critical of him. Yes he has had legislative success (albeit less than one would expect with so overwhelmingly friendly a Congress). But these successes have only made him more unpopular. Could his constant vacations and golf outings be a sign of a coming nervious breakdown? And what then? Will we be governed by Michelle, Rahm and David?

… but whatever it is, the Republicans won’t let us!

When you can’t tell their reporting from sarcasm, are they still reporting?

Srsly, does anyone think this is a valid statement in any way unless you’re making fun of someone:

His advisers described his attentiveness – noting, for example, that he discussed the economy with New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I) for 15 minutes before golfing – but got little traction.

If they’re *not* being sarcastic, they are way past the point of basic water carrying and well into insanity.

Proper grammar saves lives.

Let’s eat, Grandma.

the reference to Ms. Romer in the same paragraph with “bovine incomprehension”. The rest of the diary is just a blur.

Seriously, my F-I-L herds cattle that exhibit a better understanding of Keynesian economics.

Mooo.

That is so awesome. I give them no pony for lucid, accurate, or honest. But I do award them a lollipop for effort.

I swear, I see no daylight between the propaganda of WaPo and that of TPM and CAP.

POTUS spent 15 minutes discussing the economy with Mayor Bloomberg. (He probably told the Mayor everything economic he knows in the first 30 seconds!). It could have been worse. Mayor Bloomberg could have spent the next four hours on the golf cart listening to POTUS expound on every thing he knows. (That would have taken at least one hole).

This is the rallying cry of the GOP.

Oh, how far the mighty as fallen. From a man who boasted to turn the ocean tides blaming a “dead party” of no ideas standing between him and greatness.

Rush Limbaugh has a great parody radio commercial on education. A teacher is talking to a student and even though the student is giving out wrong answers such as two plus two equals five the teacher is giving out gold stars and praise.

Obama has been praising himself believing that he has saved the economy and that we don’t know what we’re doing since we drove the car into the ditch.

Too bad he won’t listen to conservative teachers that have tried to tell him he’s wrong. He only listens to those teachers that give out the gold stars to wrong answers.

On September 21, President Barack Obama will award Chief Master Sergeant Richard L. Etchberger, U.S. Air Force, the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry.

Chief Etchberger will receive the Medal of Honor posthumously for his heroic actions in combat on March 11, 1968 in the country of Laos.

He displayed immeasurable courage and uncommon valor – deliberately exposing himself to enemy fire in order to place his three surviving wounded comrades in the rescue slings permitting them to be airlifted to safety. As he was finally being rescued, he was fatally wounded by enemy ground fire. Chief Etchberger’s sons, Cory Etchberger, Richard Etchberger and Steve Wilson will join the President at the White House to commemorate their father’s example of selfless service and sacrifice.

Richard (Dick) L. Etchberger served in the United States Air Force from 1951 – 1968. Born in Hamburg, Pennsylvania on March 5, 1933, he was inspired to join the military due to his brother Bob enlisting in the Navy in early 1946. Upon joining the USAF on August 31, 1951, he proved to have a high aptitude in electronics and began long list of training and assignments that he would undergo to become a master in his career field. On April 1, 1967, he was promoted to Chief Master Sergeant. He held assignments in Mississippi, Utah, Morocco, North Dakota, Philippines, Illinois and the Republic of Vietnam.

I refuse to get political on this.

A long-overdue honor is being rendered.

Thank you, Mr. President.
