President Obama certainly has it ruff these days. With his approval ratings plummeting and both the House and the Senate trending Republican, he must feel like he’s been put in the doghouse. Even members of his own party are attacking him; Chris Matthews, his designated chew toy, has even come out against the beloved teleprompter. In short, nobody seems willing to throw Obama a bone.
Which is why this week, President Obama, while pumping his rehashed and tiresome economic agenda — an agenda that apparently consists of yelling “stimulus!” repeatedly, then throwing cash in the air and smiling — he intoned, “Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they’re not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That’s not in my prepared remarks, but it’s true.”
Actually, it’s not true. The only person who has ever likened President Obama to a dog is President Obama, who once declared that he was a “mutt” and a member of a “mongrel people.
Obama’s language brings to mind uncomfortable comparisons with Old Yeller, who was “an ugly, lop-eared mongrel, fancy free without a family tree.” The comparison is uncomfortable because Obama is not, in fact, the best doggone dog in the West. He is the worst doggone dog in the East, accepting the mantle from the late Marley.
In reality, there’s a reason nobody has compared Obama to a dog: dogs are likeable. They are friendly and loyal. They are man’s best friend, as opposed to King Abdullah’s best friend. Read more: http://townhall.com/columnists/BenShapiro/2010/09/08/why_we_treat_obama_like_a_dog
This man has been reaping everything he has sowed. I have had enough of his arrogance, his deceptions and his continued furthering of enemy action during the most important global war for our survival. Then he deliberatekly diverts trillions to health care while we are fighting, fires a sterling General Officer through the despicable act of a Leftist, unethical cut out operative journalist that makes Watergate look like child’s play.
Then he has the audacity to school me on values and tries to tell me “…there was no al Qaeda before george Bush took us into Iraq…” and that is a direct quote from his campaign trail. His Attorney General is an absolute joke, and his Secretary of State has no resukme for the job-and the saber rattling of every bloody tryannical regime is gaining strength that a Republican Presdient will inherit because this administration will, like Clinton do absolutely nothing-and then the bloodletting again and a comission and the lack of consequence.
When I would pee my pants as a young’un I would git that same tingling feeling going down my leg but never going up.
Bravo Mr Bill. Your carefully chosen words paint an accurate picture, that of the song sung by Patti Page, ” How much is the doggie in the window”. I see him panting and drooling but with his tail between his legs because he knows he is doing wrong. In my home country he would make a most tempting meal.
At the height of Barry’s ascension Chris Mathews commented on his program once that Obama would give him tingly feelings up and down his leg every time he spoke. Now apparently he wishes he could lift his leg on the Commander and Chief.
Hmmmmm….I wonder what Mathews is not telling us about his true feelings for Obama – ooops, did I say too much?
