I wrote this post originally just a little over a year ago (4/11/11), and re-post it here today (with a few slight changes from the original). Sadly, not a whole lot has changed in the world of Obama campaigning. If anything, this time around, he is even more antagonistic. That’s some change there, Mr. Obama. Anyway, Feel free to add on to the ways in which Obama has taken his campaigning to a whole new level this time around.
Of Obama campaigning. Yes, he has already started for his re-election. Blech. Oh, he just happened to show up at the Lincoln Memorial after the 11th hour agreement on the budget vote, running around, glad handing, acting like he was the one who wrote the damn thing:
Never mind that he was kicking and screaming throughout the whole process, threatening to veto an extension bill that would fund the Pentagon, thus the military, should there be a government shutdown. And never mind that the REASON we were on the verge of a government shutdown was the Democrats refusal to pass a damn budget last year when they controlled all three houses. Gee – can’t imagine why they decided not to do that, and that decision was made pretty early in the year.
And now Obama is prancing around like he did this single-handed? Please.
It is only going to get worse from here on out. This is only the beginning of his re-election bid, which he curiously decided to launch in the midst of a boatload of serious issues facing the nation and the world (Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iran, the budget, gas prices that have doubled – DOUBLED -under Obama, and on and on).
Just as a reminder, these are some of the “highlights” toward which I imagine we can look forward, and the mature responses of his followers:
Or this:
Or how about this memorable comment:
Here’s some campaign advice for Mr. Obama, free of charge: when you are in the middle of a campaign, and you choose to go out to be among the people, including eating in a diner, when someone dares ask you a question, answer it. That’s why you are there, right? If you want an uninterrupted waffle-eating breakfast (and was that waffle ever an indicator of things to come from Obama), stay in your hotel room. I’m just saying – you might not want to get all snappy with the people you want to vote for you when you deign to mingle among them.
That is just the beginning. That doesn’t even begin to touch the ways in which Obama takes credit for actions that were not his (the list is way too long, but think back to the last election when he claimed to be on committees he wasn’t on, or bills on which he didn’t work, etc., etc.). How much worse is it going to get now that he actually got into the White House? Geez, I shudder to think.
I wonder if, maybe the second time around, the media might actually do more of its job, and ask him some real questions, like about Rezko, for instance. Or his connections to Big Oil. Yeah, I didn’t think so…
I don’t know that I can take another 1 1/2 years of Obama campaigning. The last time was one time too many, if you ask me.
One one last thing. My aunt mentioned to me that Obama had been complaining about his loss of privacy. Was he ever. I knew he had complained about this before, but wow, want a little whine with that cheese, Mr. Obama? Good grief. I guess he didn’t believe Bush when he said being president was “hard work.” Hmm – I wonder if people will give Obama as hard of a time for saying this:
“I just miss – I miss being anonymous,” he said. “I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can’t take a walk.”His dream, he said, was to “go through Central Park and watch folks passing by … spend the day watching people – I miss that”.
Faced with simmering criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simply the best way of getting away from it all.
“It’s the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours at a stretch,” he told Hearst magazines. [snip] (Click here to read the rest.)
Oh, freakin’ spare me. After he pulled every dirty trick in the book to get INTO the White House, from caucus fraud to vote-stealing, he’s complaining (again)? That just takes the cake…
(Update: And it really takes the cake considering Obama is now around the 100 golf game mark. Along those lines, how many women has he asked to join him? To my knowledge, ONE, Melody Barnes, whom he asked after being criticized for not golfing with women. Just one. But yes, he is SUCH a champion of women. Cough, cough. I don’t think I can stomach four more years of this kind of thing from him. How about you?)
I find photo ops like this very offensive and makes a mockery of brave souls like Rosa Parks….the only thing obama has ever fought hard for is an obamanation of a healthcare bill with his name on it, that is meant to help bring down America….just sayin’

“Say What You Will…It Feels So Good”

Oh, my – yes, I agree, psstt. Unbelievable. Good grief…
Such self-serving crap. He must be of the opinion that we’re all boobs.
Any thing this good need to be reposted from time to time lest we forget.
thanks Amy
Thanks so much, foxy – how very kind of you to say so!
And yes, we cannot forget what happened in 2008. The way Obama is talking abt Romney, I think we are already seeing that same pejorative, condescending, mocking attitude from Obama this time around, too.
So in essence we know that Obama is Obama, that he will always be Obama and that there is no change in Obama. That he is not, nor will he ever be anything that as glorious as the MSN wants him to be is no secret. In fact he is the embodiment of every criticism they hurl at those who would dare disagree with him.
In a word, yes!
To those of us who have been paying attention, that is. Many of the folks here have been since this all started back in 2007. It has definitely gotten worse, though, since Obama has dropped the whole “Hope-y, Change-y, Unicorn-y” talk, and is ripping into his detractors, or even those trying to hold him accountable.
I’ve been reading Anita’s excellent book, “Dirty Words on Clean Skin” (MamaCas, I can send you a copy if you’d like to read it), and remembering all of the things we tried to tell people back in 2008, like how in the world could they support a man who claimed he had NO records from his entire 8 yrs in the IL Senate, not even a date book? How was he not laughed off the stage from the get-go with his 143 days served in the US Senate? How could this essential unknown not been vetted by the MSM? Never mind the rampant caucus shenanigans that occurred in a number of states, with over 2,000 complaints filed in Texas that were completely disregarded. And I could go on and on and on. Yet his minions continue to support him. Go figure.
Obama may be talking about Romney…………but, and I say this with a lil joy in my heart, the GOP hasn’t begun yet to talk about Obama’s failures. They will be many.
And I hope they don’t shy away from it this time like McCain did. I hope they hammer on every thing Obama has done to the detriment of this nation…
How hilarious…a narcissist who craves attention and having the spotlight on him all the time whining about losing his privacy. Well, Barry, if it’s just so taxing for you, do us all a favor and resign.
Amen to that, SSDD! Isn’t that just so ironic? After all the lying, cheating, and stealing he did to get the position, then he complains abt it? Freakin’ spare me.
And speaking of reprisals, since I mentioned the caucus crap, it seems a good time to reprise the “We Will Not Be Silenced” documentary. Here is Part 1 of 4 parts (they are listed at Youtube):
Attention-seeking behavior from the Narcissist in Chief. I can’t believe people don’t see through him.
Me, either, Ferd. Those rose colored glasses are might strong, aren’t they?

he really does rub noses into shit doesn’t he.
He really does not think he needs votes and is paid by the American people
Oh, yeah – because no one is going to have a problem with THAT…Right.
today’s aftermath

look at the bundlers for backtrack

my my my isn’t that second name corzine
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/mitt-romney-raised-126-million-in-march/2012/04/20/gIQAmNU5VT_blog.html
Are you kidding me with this?? Corzine is still bundling for him? Well, that sure says a lot. They don’t care that this guy is at least unethical, and likely a criminal. I guess that’s just the Chicago Way…
this woman is batshit crazy
http://weaselzippers.us/2012/04/20/pelosi-i-wish-people-would-earn-more-so-they-can-pay-more-in-taxes/
She certainly let her *real* position known. Heaven forbid that people should make more money so they could improve the quality of their own life. People should make more so they can pay more.
Why is that woman still in office?
Isn’t that just incredible that she comes out with this stuff? And she will continue to be re-elected for as long as she runs, which is even scarier…
That leads me to ask “What the Hell is in the water over there in San Fran?”
Do they not care at all about the Constitution or the loss of Habeus Corpus? I wonder how many realize they have been legally lumped in with terrorists if the state “says so”?
I agree with your sentiment Ferd. If he gets back in then SHTF.
Good to see you, beyondwords. Welcome to the Porch, where you’ll find a lot of familiar faces.
Yeah, Barky is just as bad as a neocon with the loss of civil liberties. I don’t like a Nanny State; I also can’t abide a Pappy state.
Everything about That One is fake. His emotions, his history, his family, his books, his scholarship, his knowledge of law and the Constitution, his ethical standards, his work ethic, and his concerns–all pretend, nonexistent, illusory, and figments of his infertile imagination.
He’s a damn hologram.
Perfect imagery, Ferd! Yes, a “hologram.” That explains how this Jr. Senator was able to get so much backing from so many of the heavy hitters so early on, and rake in so much dough. He is nothing more than a mirage put up by the Powers-That-Be.
Tupac was a hologram, Obama is just a mix of light and dark. Fade to gray
If he gets reelected, we’re in for a gray new world, starting with the gruel we’ll be made to eat.
Talk about far-reaching….dissing Palin!! I think Gerber products are the only thing they need to stock in the WH kitchen, effen crybabies…just sayin’

Sarah has taken up residence in That One’s otherwise empty cranial cavity.
ROTFL abt the Gerber products. No kidding. What a bunch of tantrum throwing toddlers…
This is not the Presidency of transparency, this is the Presidency that is so thin skinned you can see right through them.
Yes, indeed – and power at all costs is what I’m seeing…
At least there is something of substance in there….

RRRA…..I will be here all week…lol
Teehee! GOOD!
Nice to be able to laugh abt some of the insanity that marks the times in which we live!
lest we forget

I’m going to watch this in the morning. I’m too tired to try and make it through tonight. Thanks for this, Helen (I think!).
he got the job, shame he does not work hard for the money
http://usamericanfreedom.com/2012/04/20/obamas-historical-records-122-fund-raisers-94-rounds-of-golf-and-17-vacations/
Uh, yeah – that abt sums it up. Actually governing is not his strong suit, is it?
But we knew that. Because we bothered to try and find his record, his missing 8 yrs of IL State papers, his transcripts, his legal writings, but to no avail. Yet somehow, people just didn’t care that he had no qualifications to lead the nation.
Oh, wait – that’s right. He doesn’t lead.
Good Article RRRA…You always know how to put it……
There was so much that shoould have been looked over a lot more with Obama…Especially the way he ridiculed Hillary…Still dont now why she decided to be his SOS
There is trouble coming. Obama is not capable of dealing with it. The events of the next 5 months will show just how bankrupt this indifferent twit is.
The karmic tide has gone waaaaaayyyyy out. Like the Cook Inlet. Beware and stock up.
One has to hope there is trouble coming for Obama lest he somehow get back in the WH. At the very least, maybe the media can stop propping him up…
I was referring to this people in this nation. Obama will be the least of our problems even though he is responsible for what is coming and will not accept any responsibility for it. It is my sincere hope that he will do as Romney told him to do. “Start packing”. Three years into his squatting at motel 1600 has brought nothing but division, yet he still thinks one of his primary jobs is scouting out vacation spot for his wife, above the nations needs.
I am unable mystically clear about it, as it is still shapelessss darkness in the in future, but something dark cometh this way. What worries me is the pure size of it. …. ( I apologize but I sail in Nagual waters)
obama Sees Steep Dropoff In Cash From Major Donors….
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/21/us/politics/obama-campaign-faces-dropoff-in-big-donations.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20120421
If he has to rely on the smaller donations, he may be in huge trouble since he couldn’t be bothered to try to create jobs for him…..no jobs, cain’t give no money!
I think I can already hear barry crying….someone call a waaaaaaaaahmbulance!!

Make that “create jobs for them”….gotta go to bed…lol
