Barack H. Obama, putting down the Bush administration for allegedly being unprepared for the avian flu:
Via Patterico.
UPDATE: Powerline points out Obama’s political desperation. He recently said this:
I actually believe that capitalism is the greatest force for prosperity and opportunity the world has ever known. And I believe in private enterprise — not government, but innovators and risk-takers and makers and doers — driving job creation.
It’s not that Obama is lying – there’s nothing new, in Obama lying about his own beliefs. It’s that he’s now lying to pretend some sort of admiration for capitalism. How are the mighty fallen! Remember him saying in better times how we’ve got to “spread the wealth around”? And wanting to tell business owners, “You didn’t build that!”
But Democrats are perfect and Republicans are evil, right?
Exactly right, davinci. That’s the narrative!
He’s the sorriest and most dangerously incompetent son of a bitch ever to be President.
My thanks, once again, to all of you sorry bastards who ever cast a vote for him.
Can’t remember what I was doing when I heard him promote capitalism, but do remember smirking. I think a lot of people heard it; but, at this point his desperate grabs only elicit reporting without commentary, by Liberals.
He’s like an awkward bird, at a local fun park, playing whack a mole, with arms akimbo.
The man will say anything to get what he wants.
Obama and his wife are the most self-centered couple to occupy the WH ever. They far outdistance Slick Willy and the Crow for self engrandizement.
If you actually believe that Barack, then why is the government taking over the healthcare industry, you lying, greedy, socialist son of a bitch?
Pres. Obama is set to appoint an investment-bank lawyer, Ron Klain, as Ebola Czar. What, no trained Physician or Epidemiologist was available?
Many peop le assume that everybody is on the same wave length.mean to you. this might sound like Bill Clinton’s “depends on what your definition of is, is.” Has anybody asked Obama what is yo ofur definition capitalism? We might be surprised, it might be more like fascism, or even socialism. Here in El Salvador, there is a deputy, Norma Guevara, in the National Assembly (congress) who was a guerillera, and is a loyal communist. She refers to the twenty years the National Republicans were in the majority, as the dictatoship. I would love to ask her to define a dictatorship. In her mind, Cuba and Venezuela are model democracies. I would point out to her that the constitution grants her freedom of expression. Unfortunately as a resident, I don’t have that privilege. If the previous twenty years were a dictatorship she would have been in jail. The peace accords of 1993 granted amnesty to the rebels when they should have arrested and tried for sedition and rebellion.
When I was on the high school debating team, the first thing we did in a match was to define the terms. That is something that I see missing in debates and public discourse. Words are thrown around assuming we all agree on the definitions. Such is not so. For that reason, I trust almost nothing that comes out of the mouth of Barak Obama.
