I dunno. Obama's still giving pee shivers to the media. (Sorry. Too vivid for you?)

Gotta go. There's an Obama Commemorative Coin I saw on TV I want to order. I need to hurry while supplies last.

"Of course, he's "deferred" to President Bush regarding the recent Israeli/Hamas conflict"

Which is exactly what he should be doing. No need to tip his hand on what he may or may not do once he is sworn in. After all he has no official govt position until the 20th of Jan at noon. Who knows what may happen between now and then with which he can be beat over the head with if he makes a stance today.

Remember what happened to Vito in the Godfather when Sonny spoke up. "Never disagree with the family".

There is only one President at this time and that is Bush. Obama knows he will have his chance. Best to just shut up for now and keep on getting his briefs.

Love and hate are so entangled. Some of us non-believers might be the ones to defend the Obamessiah when his minions turn on him as they surely will as soon as their special agendas are ignored.

"Can't wait for his first big stumble"

I like your honesty.

...Hawaii (That's the 56th state, right?).

No, it's the 60th state. The Messiah (PBUH) said He'd been to 57 states with one to go plus Alaska and Hawaii. Therefore, He claimed there are 60 states, not 57 as the joke usually goes.

God god do you whine or what Mallow? You sound like a 13yo girl in the school hall bitching to her friends.

You say he's a "nitwit." Upon what do you base that conclusion? He's got more brains in his pinkie finger than you do in your head I'd guess.

You "can't wait till his first big stumble." What would that be? Would you like him to fu** up the economic recovery? Would you like him to make a bad mistake with terrorism? Just what would you like that "big stumble" to be?

Come to think of it a 13yo girl has a more mature attitude than you do.

Well, McCain's already "predicted" a war between Pakistan and India, so maybe he's gearing himself up for that. Oh, wait. First Obama has to rest up for his over-priced Inauguration. (Which we probably paid for.)

JFO,
You have no idea how much "more brains" PEBO has than even Blago. He hasn't released any of his transcripts. Or, who sponsored his college entry or, who wrote his books for him(Bill Ayers is the likely candidate).
With his social agenda I want him to fail at ruining the economy or Global Farce Warming or anything except what he is supposed to do. Defend the Homeland as Bush did.

Good points, JFO.

I don't know? Maybe attending a church run by a racist, American-hating pastor? Or hanging around with a domestic terrorist? Or toasting the former spokesman of the PLO?

Oh.. Wait a minute..

9:
You forgot about the time Barack Obama carved a B into a young woman's face because he didn't like the fact that she had a McCain bumper sticker

and

that Barack Obama faked his Birth Certificate to fulfill the eligibility requirements of the office of the president.

If you want an example of what the word "irony" means, look no further than Shawn Freaking Mallow calling Obama a "nitwit".
"Can't wait till his first big stumble." You're a true patriot, Mallow.
What would you like the new President to do first? Get us involved in an unnecessary and unbelievably costly war, or royally fuck up the economy?
Oh, I forgot, those Missions have already been Accomplished.

You lefties have to understand that you taught us how to support a president. It matters not what he does but what we say he did. That is the new truth. Thanks for teaching us that. All you snide, unpatriotic, cruel, incredible slams you gave GW are now coming home to roost. ww

"You have no idea how much "more brains" PEBO has than even Blago. He hasn't released any of his transcripts. Or, who sponsored his college entry or, who wrote his books for him(Bill Ayers is the likely candidate).

Come on, guys, give us a challenge. Instead you push what sound like bong-fueled conspiracy theories.

It's amazing the fantasies you'll propound regarding someone's real world experience.

John Kerry wasn't really a combat veteran and war hero. The NVA and VC knew he was going to protest the war when he got back. So they passed the word down the line along with his photo and the designation of his river boat and the orders - Protect this fellow traveler.
And his military superiors and subordinates were in on it to, or else bought off and intimidated. That's how he got those medals.

Barrack Obama's skids were greased from the gitgo. Despite his intellectual mediocrity, he got into Columbia and Harvard Law School. Then the word was passed down from the higher echelons of the Law School to all his professors, and his fellow students, "This is the liberal elite's choice for the first black President. Professors, grade his inadequate finals higher than they deserve. Fellow students, elect him president of the law review and then do all his work for him, because the poor dumb black guy can't do it for himself." And they all went along with this plot. Even if the professors were in on the plot, do you have any idea how ferociously competitive law school is, particularly Harvard? And of course there were no conservatives in the law school who might have protested. Nope, all bought off or suppressed.

And then after he graduates from HLS, he teaches constitutional law for twelve years at the University of Chicago Law School, a relatively conservative law school. None of the conservative professors speaks out and says "Where did they get this guy? He can't cut the mustard." Nope, all bought off or intimidated by the liberal elites who have groomed Barrack Obama to turn America red.

You're going to have to do better than that. He's the President Elect. Deal with it like adults. Democracy's a bitch, sometimes your guy loses. Be a patriotic American. Support the President when he's right and criticize him when he's wrong. But early onset of ODS, supported by whackjob conspiracy theories doesn't help anyone and makes you look like desperately sore losers.

Bruce,
Right on cue. The Democrats and Obamalala had as much to do with those"Missions" as Bush did.

Dave,
You're taking a page from Obamalala's book on "How to answer a question by answering a Question that wasn't asked".

We all know Obama will boink the mutt sooner or later...probably sooner. All the same, I sincerely hope that Obama does an outstanding job. Until he stumbles he has my complete support. Period.

275 words, and not one useful insight. I have to say that the posting quality on this site has taken a nose dive.

Well, ya know, MPR, I never cared much for Bush. Didn't vote for him, or his Dad. But I'm pretty sure I wasn't waiting with breathless anticipation for his first screw-up, even before he was inaugurated. Matter of fact, I'd have said the same thing to anybody who made comments like Shawn's on Jan. 2, 2001.
See, unlike the conservative geniuses who post here, using unbelievably witty and clever terms like "Obamalala", I would like my President not to "stumble."

Didn't vote for Obama and wouldn't reconsider in a nanosecond. Unfortunately though, Mr. Mallow's post, in my mind, follows a pattern set by Lee Ward over at the Blue when he attacks Republicans/Conservatives.

To cite:
I accept the nitwit won, but, sheesh, he's been more pervasive than those hideous "Snuggie" blanket commercials.

Can't wait for his first big stumble, or the first time he may annoy the press corp (if that's possible), so we can stop hearing the obligatory "oohs and ahhs" from the complicit media.

You be the judge.

There is nary an iota of substance in your post, Shawn. There is more to be learned from drunks on bar stools or wild-eyed street preachers than from your posts. The comments that follow tend to be pretty funny, though, so keep on doin' your thing.

Well Shaun uhhhh uhhh welll uhhhh ya know JFO uhhhh hold it uhhhhh yah change uhhh just a minute uhhhhhh pinkie uhhhh brilliant uhhhhh yours uhhhhhh hope uhhhh ya know uhhhhh

Brilliance, pure intellectual horespower. LOLOL

Liberalogist's don't get it. Conservatives love America and we put up with all of your Bush hatred for 8 years, now it's payback time. We didn't put you in camps or take away your rights though you fantasize about that happening but I surely expect you to over react to the first crisis just like FDR did.
Calling your Obamessiah names like "Obamalala" is nothing compared to what you are capable of which is a complete meltdown of our country.

Bruce Henry -

"Get us involved in an unnecessary and unbelievably costly war, or royally fuck up the economy?
Oh, I forgot, those Missions have already been Accomplished."

Bush promoted vital economic recovery that saved the US from complete meltdown due to 9/11. That growth continued until the Socialists fucked up the banking system with easy money for people that should NEVER have received it.

As for expensive war, don't forget the 25% pork bonus charged to us by the numbnuts in Congress. As for the 'Mission Accomplished' crap, grow up already - that was the carrier group's mission, not the war as a whole.

Ahhh libs, turn about is fair play...don't like Conservatives mocking your man, tough.

We learned well from the masters of mockery and will apply it . . . LIBERALLY.

"I accept the nitwit won"

Yeah, His chronies were better at scamming the system with fake votes then even Al Franken or Al Gores are.

Excellent post.

Hey, mock all you want. Knock yourselves out. It's a free country.
Mockery is kinda what I was going for here, especially this dude who thinks it's the height of comedy to say "Obamalala" in EVERY SINGLE COMMENT he makes. Hilarious, I know, but he's running just a slight risk of over-exposing it, don't you think? As for the Mallow/irony thing, c'mon, that was a little bit funny, right? Little bit?
What I was pointing out is that saying, "Can't wait for his first stumble" is kind of...what's the word I'm looking for here?....oh, yeah, unpatriotic.
See, AFTER his first stumble is the time to pile on. Because when a President stumbles, the country is harmed. Wishing the country harm is unpatriotic. Criticism after the fact is not.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I find it pretty telling that all the lib sympathizers here (Broose, Dyperbolist, Noble) all figured my "big stumble" phrase to mean something like a terrorist attack or a crappy economy. Your responses say a hell of alot about you.

What's even more hypocritical is all you leftists now using the "patriotism" card. With Bush, "dissent" was patriotic. With Obama, anything but hope and flowers is unpatriotic.

Predictably pathetic.

-Shawn

Apparently political name-calling started with Bush. I did not know that. How could the Democrats be so mean after the Republicans were so nice to Clinton? It just boggles the mind.

Palin/Huckabee '12!

So far, Obama's dreamy caramel moobs have been the only substance of the MSM.

Three weeks from now all the responsibility will be his. Will he continue the centrist tendencies and keep us in Iraq, bomb Afghanistan, and keep the tax cuts in place? That should drive the far lefty morons insane, unless they're unhinged enough to accept it all only because 'their' guy 'won.'

Will Obama yank us out of Iraq? That should cause death and mayhem on the same scale as the Dems last death-filled debacle - Cambodia. Maybe a joyous return to stagflation for the rest of us, as well.

The man was elected to lead us - he has three weeks, and all the hard decisions will fall his way - I wish him well. As for the mocking - that will be reserved for the mindless supporters and media syncophants the DIDN'T ask any questions as to his capabilities.

Say what you want, Mallow, but I'm pretty sure none of the "lib sympathizers" here were salivating at the prospect of Bush failing BEFORE he was inaugurated. I know I wasn't.
See, I wasn't particularly enthralled by either candidate in 2000. Both seemed like mediocrities to me. Of course, Clinton, and Bush1 before him, had made Presidentin' look kinda easy, so I didn't much care who won.
It was Bush's actions AFTER taking office that showed me how wrong I had been. I've been paying a lot closer attention since.
Speaking for myself, not any other commenters here, I would never have wished for Presidential stumbles had McCain won, either. See, I love my country, and unlike some, I wish her well.
Oh, and that mis-spelling on purpose thing never gets old.

Mallow

Every time you respond to a comment you reinforce that a 13yo girl is more mature than you.

I'll bet that community college education of yours makes you think you're a lot smatter than the "nitwit" who will soon be your president.

I asked you what you meant by "stumble" in my first comment which was #6 above.It's a fair question since you made the point. You haven't answered yet until the weak response you wrote in 27. It's an easy question for a guy who must think he's smarter than our "nitwit" president elect.

The bottom line is you have no original ideas about anything, you prattle rightwing talking points and you're a mediocre writer at best.

For god's sake Kevin rehire Tea Jay. At least he could write and be original on occasion.

I find it ironic that the libs here are so upset about Shawn's post when you could take out the word OBama and put in Bush and go to just about any liberal website and find far worse.

That being said, I dont look forward to MY PRESIDENT screwing up no matter who that President is. When Presidents screw up it generally means that people die and usually some of those people are military.

I also am left wondering if Shawn didnt write this piece suspecting he would get the exact reaction he did from the lefty posters on this site.

Compare the use Obamalama to Bushitler.

Oh and to poster 10
"You forgot about the time Barack Obama carved a B into a young woman's face because he didn't like the fact that she had a McCain bumper sticker

and

that Barack Obama faked his Birth Certificate to fulfill the eligibility requirements of the office of the president.
"

Please please put down the crack pipe and go get some fresh air outside.

The second paragraph in comment # 32 is exactly what a true conservative patriot would say. Very well put, sir.
I'm sure you and I will argue in the future, but you are spot on here.

JFO,

My apologies for leaving you off the resident lib sympathizer list. That must have hurt.

The fact that I have all the lib trolls here rabidly belching up their opinions on two words in one little post gives me all the more reason to think I'm doing something right.

By all means, keep on posting your predictable comments. Very telling, indeed.

BTW, jfo, his name was Jay Tea, not "Tea Jay"..

Off-direct-topic for Obama, but on-topic for his future:

What's up with placing Carol browner, Socialist Pig, in charge of Energy? Just wondering...

http://www.socialistinternational.org/viewArticle.cfm?ArticleID=1845&&ModuleID=34

I did not vote for Obama and I don't necessarily like him, but for the sake of the country and the people I will wish him well.

In any election I always hope for the best for the winner. But one thing is sure, everyone who goes into that office comes out looking so much older so it must be a terribly stressful job. Makes you wonder about anyone who would even would want it.

I do hope for EVERYONE this year is good one for all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with retired military on this one. I'm hoping somehow, in contravention of everything he's said so far, Obama doesn't trip on his pee-pee. We've got enough problems to deal with, another raging socialist in Washington won't make much of a difference. Mallow, I think you can do better than this. The idea is to rise above the enemy, not use their own dirty tactics. We know they lied, cried, whined, and practically shat themselves for the last 8 years, why sound like the same pieces of excrement for the next 8?

I'm hoping it will only be 4, but with the media and academia in the tank, it's gonna be hard to get rid of the socialists.

You may be "doing something right," Shawn, but just what it is escapes poor dumb me.
What is the point of your post? That Obama's vacation is over? That he is a narcissist? That he hasn't said much about Gaza, instead deferring to the current C-in-C? That the press appears to like him, and that that gets on your nerves? That you'll be tickled as hell to see him screw up? Or do you just want to demonstrate that you can't spell "whose", "bachelor's", or "Alpha Centauri"?
Clear that up for me, and I'll accept your opinion that you are a deep political thinker and an insightful commentator par excellence.

Henry Bruce- I can answer a few of those questions for you. Yes, the vacation is over for that Narcissist-in-chief Obamalala.
The press doesn't "appear" to just like him, they are down on their knees with their mouths open waiting for Barry's pants to drop.
And your obsession with grammar and spelling is sad, this isn't the New York Times.

Shawn

You are doing something right from your perspective. You're looking like a goofy, immature wingnut. Go back to selling whatever goods you sell in the store cause you have nothing to offer this blog.

Looks like Shawn's struck a few nerves.

If only the other Hsu would drop...

Bruce

"It was Bush's actions AFTER taking office that showed me how wrong I had been. I've been paying a lot closer attention since.
"

Bravo for at least giving him a chance. But think back IN GENERAL to the following:

Selected not elected
I am leaving the country if Bush is elected.

Shall I go on?

This was something that millions of liberals repeated before Bush ever took office and endlessly afterwards.

I know you speak for yourself but do you think other democrats did the same as you? Could Bush have done anything (other than maybe die) to win at least half of those over to support him?

You lefties sure like to dish out the cruel, disgusting names but you cannot take it. That is proven.

GW went to Yale for his MBA but was mocked for being favored by his father.

Obama received acceptance into Harvard because he is black. See, that is how it works. You taught us well. Live with it. ww

I believe that Obama is President-Elect because he is black, call it an Affirmative Action program. I "believe" that surely if he was white, he would never have been able to beat out Hillary, Slow Joe, Richardson, or John "silky pony" Edwards (before the baby scandal).
Barry might be a smooth talker but a freshman junior Senator with 2 books about himself would have been laughed out of the race, if he wasn't black. Or half black.

Dave
"You're going to have to do better than that. He's the President Elect. Deal with it like adults. Democracy's a bitch, sometimes your guy loses. Be a patriotic American."

If you would be so good as to tell the wingnuts in your party this every time they bring up Florida 2000 it would be greatly appreciated.

I was given hell when I voted for McCain but I was also told by some of my friends they received the same trash when they voted for Obama. There's just some tasteless ignorant crude people and it of course has nothing to do with party or nonparty affliation.

Thanks Shawn. Enjoyed your post. It's actually funny 'cause it looks like you got the reactions you expected.

"Or hanging around with a domestic terrorist."

Are we talking about Obama and Ayers or McCain and Liddy?

"I believed that Obama is President-Elect because he is black, call it an Affirmative program."

Even buying into your premise that Obama only got elected because of his skin color, I never knew that the American voting process when it comes to presidential elections is a "program." Learn something new every day (rolls eyes).

"The fact that I have all the lib trolls here rabidly belching up their opinions on two words in one little post gives me all the more reason to think I'm doing something right."

No, not really, Shawn, but if it makes you feel good, who am I to deny you a cheap thrill.

If you were serious in your post, it was rightly criticized for being trivial. And your attempts to hide behind irony are disingenous.

If you were being ironic, you're in a bit better, but not much better, position. Being provocative without substance is an empty exercise. Anybody can do it. I call your Mom a crack whore and wait for you to get all worked up and then laugh at you. But the joke's on me.

What would be more worthwhile would be to write a post with substance. Whether it is also sarcastic or provocative is just fine.

And regarding liberal trolls. Ironically, some of your most dedicated posters are liberal (I am not referring to myself here). I'm not sure how that makes them trolls. Without the trolls you would be reduced to an endlessly echoing conservative lovefest. I would think you would find that boring. That's why I don't blog on a liberal blog.
I prefer to engage in a debate with someone who doesn't agree with me. If there is a little sarcasm and humor, that's great. But you know what? Calling someone an idiot,moron, kool-aid drinker or troll is a shoddy substitute for either substantive argument or clever sarcasm.

Dave

"Calling someone an idiot,moron, kool-aid drinker or troll is a shoddy substitute for either substantive argument or clever sarcasm.
"

I agree, unless of course they are an idiot, moron, koolaid drinker or troll. Then it is fair game to call a spade a spade.

Your post is another wonderful illstration of the fact that freedom of expression does not assure expression of intelligence.

Here's why no Blair House --

MESSAGE TO EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS:

When counting the electoral votes, either Congress finds by 1/8/09 that Obama, not being an Article II "natural born citizen", fails to qualify as President whereupon Biden becomes the full fledged President under 3 USC 19 (free to pick his own VP such as Hillary) or thereafter defers to the Supreme Court to enjoin Obama's inauguration with Biden becoming only Acting President under the 20th Amendment until a new President is duly determined.

The preferable choice, at least for the Democrats, should seem obvious.

You know I will be so glad when Obama is sworn in as it may shut people like Ted up. I mean it is almost (not quite but getting there ) as bad as Bush was behind 911, FEMA blew up the levies, Florida 2000, etc.
