'Black Man Loses Job:' The Onion mocks Obama on his way out

The Onion has had a pretty good run over the past eight years, mocking Barack Obama and his liberal hypocrisy. As Obama left office on Friday, however, the satire website couldn't help one last shot.

Obama's dog just can't stop attacking white girls

Sunny, the Portuguese Water Dog owned by the Obamas, attacked a young white girl who was visiting the White House this week. It isn't the first time Sunny has lashed out at white girls. In fact, Sunny has a habit of ONLY attacking white girls.

Seriously, we're not making this up.

Gitmo prisoners can't have a Bible, but are given Obama's books

Miami Herald reporter Carol Rosenberg is one of the few media members that extensively covers Guantanamo Bay and the prisoners stationed there. She recently tweeted out the photo featured here, taken in the Gitmo library for detainees, which shows off the fact that their selection of books includes President Barack Obama's books. Rosenberg reports six copies of his books are available.

However, the United States government has a say in what books are stocked in the library, and while detainees can read President Obama's books or get a copy of the Koran, there is one book they will not allow on the library shelves: the Bible.

In 2005, one of the Gitmo detainees, Saifullah Paracha, requested a copy of the Bible to read, along with the works of Shakespeare. Paracha's request was denied, even after his lawyer mailed a brand new copy to the Gitmo chaplain requesting that it be given to him. A government lawyer told him the Bible "violated prison policy."

Paracha filed suit against the government to get a copy of the Bible and other books. In response to the lawsuit, the government claimed they could ban any books that would "incite" prisoners. The government finally did allow the Shakespeare plays into the library, but the Bible remains banned.

Tales of a Teleprompter President

With all the focus on new books from President George W. Bush and Sarah Palin recently, I'm sure President Obama is feeling lonely. I thought it would be a great time to remind everyone what we've been missing. Remember this little shout-out to our military? Maybe Obama should stop looking for stories and spend more time learning about the military he commands. The mainstream media tends to overlook such gaffes from Obama, but if this had been W, they would have been all over it.

Obama's audacity on display again

Sure, America may be struggling economically, but President Obama still wants you to pay up to ensure his friends, who made this mess, keep getting elected. He even sent out an email to supporters this past week asking just that.

To read about the email and why Obama thinks his pals deserve your money, read my column at Examiner.com right here. 

Is Michelle Obama a birther?

The "birther" movement, made up of people who believe President Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen, may have had a much longer run in the public eye than it deserved, but it made plenty of noise while it had America's attention. By comparison, those who argued that John McCain was not qualified to serve as President because he was born in the Panama Canal zone never saw their cause gain real traction.

Of course, there are still those who believe that the President was not born in Hawaii as he claims, mainly because he has never produced his original birth certificate. What he did provide, a certificate of live birth, doesn't quite have the legal same standing as an original birth certificate and did not solve the eligibility issue. There are other issues involved as well, which have been largely disproven. Of course, what did end the debate for many was the birth announcement of Barack Obama in two different Hawaii newspapers in 1961. While it doesn't prove Obama was born in Hawaii, it makes it nearly impossible to believe he was born in Kenya as some contend. It would have taken almost supernatural foresight to have planned a cover-up just days after the President's birth.

The question now is, who is to blame for allowing the issue to fester? The President holds some responsibility by not releasing his original birth certificate, but consider how much blame his wife Michelle holds. We submit for your consideration the following video, recorded in 2008 when Mrs. Obama was speaking to a gay rights organization. She states the exact same phrase many "birthers" have been criticized for saying themselves, that the President's home country was Kenya. Was it a purely symbolic statement, or was it a Freudian slip of historic proportions? At least liberals can't blame the right for starting the controversy.

Obama vs. the Gay Mafia

Someone should have typed "KEEP COOL" on President Obama's teleprompter.

In a rare flash of anger usually reserved for Republicans, President Barack Obama lashed out at a group of gay activists who began heckling him at a California fundraiser for Sen. Barbara Boxer on Monday (April 19). The activists were upset with the President for not yet repealing the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which effectively bans gays from serving openly.

The video below (from CBS News) shows how the incident transpired. During the event, a number of activists began yelling at the President about the policy. At first, Obama tried to ignore them, speaking louder and becoming more animated in an attempt to drown them out. Suddenly, the President snapped, angrily addressing the crowd by yelling "Hey! Hold on a second!" The activists then began chanting "Yes we can," mocking the President's campaign slogan. Obama was visibly upset and took several moments to compose himself before smiling and responding "We are going to do that."

Obama was in California trying to bolster the reelection efforts of Barbara Boxer, whose disapproval rate is higher than her approval rate, and may attract several prominent opponents, including Carly Fiorina. Attendees to the event paid as much as $32,000 to attend the event.

Another rotten thing about Denmark

The country whose greatest achievement is the creation of Legos now gives us the dumbest opinion piece we've read in some time. And we read The Huffington Post.

A Danish newspaper declared Obama greater than Jesus in a Christmas column. Their reasons why would be funny if they weren't so offensively stupid. To read more about what they said, click right here to read the column on Examiner.com. 

He's no Rocky: Obama tells GOP "Go for it"

In a speech given in Iowa City yesterday (March 25), President Obama continued to play the politics of division while openly challenging Republicans to repeal the health care reform bill he recently signed into law.

"There's been a lot of misinformation spread about health care reform," Obama said. "There has been plenty of fear-mongering and overheated rhetoric. And if you turn on the news, you'll see that those same folks are still shouting about how the world will end because we passed this bill. This is not an exaggeration." Once again, Obama himself creates a chasm in the health care debate discourse. In his mind, you cannot merely oppose his ideas because of political and economic ramifications. There is no "agree to disagree." In the President's mind, anyone who refuses to drink his kool-aid is a radical nutjob.   

The President then went on for several minutes to once again quote all of the supposed wonderful things this reform plan will do. Now that the bill is passed, it's completely unnecessary for him to do so, but Obama's still trying to win the PR battle with the American public. He's desperate to turn the tide of popular opinion, which is still largely against him.

Finally, the President challenged Republicans to try and repeal the bill. "Go for it," the President said. "If they want to have that fight, I'll welcome that fight." Now who's being violent?

Truth be told, America will "go for it," in droves. They will march on Election Day and place their ballot against those who supported this bill. The fight has only just begun.

The EgoBama Strikes Back!

Good politicians are surgical with their criticism; the best ones insult with a smile and deadly precision. For being such a celebrated orator, President Obama is certainly not one of them: his statements during the health care debate have been condescending and rudely blunt, something almost unheard of from the Commander in Chief. His critiques are more Chicago mobster than Ivy League debater. He cannot let a single speech go by without singling out someone and giving them a verbal dressing down like they were a freshman late to one of his college lectures.

It's clear that on a personal level, Barack Obama hates being criticized or contradicted. As President, however, he needs to learn to roll with the punches. His ego continues to bubble to the surface at the worst times, as he openly complains for every petty argument made against him and declaring war on news organizations that don't follow him in lockstep. Nixon's "Enemies List" pales in comparison to Obama's verbal lashings against critics.

Presidents Reagan and Clinton were experts at the political jab without sounding petty or angry. They still made some attempt at civil bipartisanship. Obama gripes like you peed in his cornflakes. During his speech today to the Democratic Caucus, Obama once again burned bridges with opponents of health care, saying they didn't "walk the walk" in cutting the deficit or putting the needs of people first, a bold statement considering his reform plan does neither. His venom isn't limited to the health care debate: remember when he chewed out the Supreme Court in front of the nation during his State of the Union? If someone in the West Wing doesn't sit the President down soon and straighten him out, he'll go down in history as the most vindictive man to ever sit in the Oval Office.

Maybe he can pick a winner this time

Last year, President Obama was criticized for wasting time making picks on a bracket for the NCAA March Madness tournament. Unfortunately, like his push for health care reform, if he wants to do something, nobody can stop him. After all, this is the same guy who likes to pull rank and remind us "I am the President" whenever his actions are questioned, and so we have his picks once again this year.

I would be harder on the guy, but between quitting smoking (again), Michelle not letting him eat junk food, having to feed Rahm Emanuel live children, and "Crazy Uncle Joe" Biden putting his foot in his mouth all the time, the guy needs a break. Maybe if he spends more time watching basketball this month and less time wrecking the country, we will all be better off. Click here to see the President's picks.

Why is this man still talking?

On March 3, President Obama declared the debate on health care over. "Every argument has been made. Everything there is to say about health care has been said and just about everyone has said it."

That hasn't stopped the President from still talking up his Doomsday health care plan. He did so on his radio address over the weekend and in a speech in Philadelphia today (March 8). He plans at least one more appearance and speech this week on the subject.

Obama's dictatorial approach to controlling the debate seems like a last ditch effort to force feed America something it doesn't want instead of a leader showing the way. With each passing day, the desperation at the White House grows, so expect more heavy-handed tactics.

Don't Mess with the Obama

Why is this man so angry? Perhaps it's because rather than being the uniting force he promised to be, he's using the same Chicago-style bully tactics that he's used all of his life. Today, he's squashing anyone who dares to exercise their right to freely speak out and disagree with him. When Obama found out a the keynote speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast opposed gays in the military, he kicked him out of the event. Well, at least we know Obama can make a quick decision when it comes to the military. To read the whole article, click right here.

The Audacity of Egobama

When he doesn't have a teleprompter on, the real Barack Obama tends to show, and it isn't the inspiring leader folks thought they were electing. Consider how he acted in his meeting with congressional leaders over health care reform.  What was supposed to be a bipartisan discussion of the issues disintegrated into an ego fest with Obama acting like a professor lecturing freshmen.

Everyone - Republicans included - played to the cameras, but only Obama was petty enough to pull rank just to win the argument. He talked down to anyone who opposed him and wagged a haughty finger. At one point, he cut off a Republican in mid-sentence, insisting that things were running long. When it was pointed out to him that Democrats had used twice the amount of time to speak as Republicans, Obama said "There was an imbalance, but that was because, well, I'm the President." Thataway to lead, Egobama! 

Obama's Bizarro Speech

I'll leave the more detailed critiques to the pros, but I don't think I've ever seen a more contradictory speech ever. EVER. President Obama's bizarro State of the Union speech defied logic and mocked the obvious truth. He tried to rewrite the history of the past year with jaw-dropping boldness. He actually claimed to run a transparent administration. He said he kept lobbyists and special interests out of positions in his government. Even Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito was seen mouthing the words "NOT TRUE" when Obama criticized the High Court for daring to rule against his wishes, saying the decision would hurt the election process. This is why he has worn so thin with voters on both sides of the political spectrum. They see the harsh realities of his actions  - or inaction - every day of their lives. In Obama's bizarro world, everything is wonderful, and he will do whatever he can to convince us of that.  

Diane Sawyer: Obama Cheerleader and Drunken Party Girl

Diane Sawyer just can't help singing the praises of President Obama, even when he has a terrible political week. She tries a little too hard to put a positive spin on things instead of facing the hard realities. We examine her choice of Michelle Obama as her "Person of the Week," where she praised the First Lady like she had actually accomplished something.

Harry Reid's Teachable Moment

Despite predictions that the election of Barack Obama would end racism as we know it, it seems our President is having to deal with it more than ever. He wasn't expecting, however, to hear racial stereotypes from members of his own party.

Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) is under fire for comments he made before Obama was elected President and are now being published in a book. In an attempt to assess Obama's candidacy, Reid said the then-senator could be successful because he was a "light-skinned" black man and had "no Negro dialect whatsoever, unless he wanted to have one."

 There's no need to discuss how stupid the quote was; it was obviously a poor choice of words. What is interesting is the response being given to Reid's quote. It exposes a double standard that's hard to deny. Consider in today's over-sensitive PC culture, such quotes are treated as major scandals. In 2002, a similar stupid statement by Trent Lott about Strom Thurmond cost him his majority leader post. Lott said America could have avoided a lot of problems had Thurmond's 1948 presidential run been successful. Thurmond was a noted segregationist at the time.

In a CNN interview at the time, Al Gore called Lott's comments racist. Jesse Jackson said Lott should resign, which he did. That was for remarks that only alluded to race. Now, many of the same politicians who dogpiled on Lott's comments in 2002 are either quiet or actually defending Reid, saying his apologies are enough and it is time to move on. Would the same be said if Reid were a Republican?

I'm sure there will be those who say that when a liberal says something stupid, it's OK because they don't mean it. When a Republican says something stupid, they will argue, it's racist because at heart, all Republicans are racist. Such arguments hold no water because they obviously show a double-standard. Even as this scandal breaks, news reports surface that many are upset that the 2010 Census form, when asking a citizen to list their race, uses the word "negro." And yet, Reid's statement, which used the same word, is not considered offensive. Consider that Reid also said that Obama can use a "negro dialect" if he wants to. Why is no one asking Reid to clarify what he means by that? Isn't that statement just as offensive? 

Earlier this year, Obama chose to dive head-first into the race issue when a white Massachusetts cop confronted a black man whom he thought was breaking into a house. After Obama called the officer's actions "stupidly," the President called both parties to the White House so they could sit in front of cameras, have a beer, and have a "teachable moment."

The question is, where is Obama and his "teachable moment" now? Where is the White House pow-wow with all the old white Democrats to make sure they understand that you can't say those things? Why are liberals so ready to move on? Where is the sit-down to discuss race in America and an attempt to learn something from all this? Where is the public reprimand or Senate censure for Reid? Where is Al Sharpton?

Perhaps there is a "teachable moment" in all of this. If there is no political hay to be made, President Obama and other Democrats will look the other way on racially insensitive comments. They won't be offended until a Republican says something stupid. It's a sad lesson to learn about liberals.

We were warned

As this year comes to a close, we look back and take stock of the last 12 months under Obama's liberal utopia. After seeing this video, and after all the other warnings about his arrogance and inexperience, perhaps we should be glad things aren't worse by now. Here, Keyboard Cat plays off 2009 with some of Obama's funnier mistakes, courtesy of Third Base Politics.
