Everyone is shocked — shocked! — to discover that WikiLeaks has continued to release secret and confidential documents despite the urging of the Obama administration.

It’s almost like Obama can’t make people act nice by asking them. Didn’t the whole world listen to the 2008 campaign? Obama can stop the oceans from rising; he should be able to stop Iran from developing nukes and Julian Assange from releasing documents that are harmful to the U.S. interestes.

Unless, of course, Obama isn’t really interested in American interests. But that’s silly. I mean, it’s not like he grew up in another country. It’s not like Obama is interested in a post-America world. It’s not like he’s bowing to foreign leaders.

No, there’s no evidence whatsoever that Obama is secretly cool with the WikiLeaks releases. And, despite Obama being the most awesome thing since man descended from the trees and discovered TiVo, Assange went ahead and released the documents.

Now that the impossible has happened, what can Obama do about it?

• Blame George Bush
• Go golfing
• Play basketball
• Send Joe Biden to talk to Julian Assange
• Increase pat-downs at airports
• Go on vacation
• Extend the healthcare law
• Send SEIU personnel to “talk” to Julian Assange
• Go golfing
• Let tax cuts expire
• Email Assange a Microsoft Windows virus
• Release the GTMO detainees
• Go golfing
• Give an speech, using a woman who will lose her job in six months as a prop

Perhaps there are other things Obama can do to temper the damage of these leaks and prevent future leaks. Ideas? Anyone?

President Obama said that, when it comes to small business, Republicans have “got to deliver.”

Kind of ironic since what Obama’s been doing to small business is more like “Deliverance“.

Obama said a Republican victory this year would mean “hand-to-hand combat” in Congress.

Well, that’d be four more fingers than Democrats usually engage with.

There’s a new poll out. And it shows that the president’s approval rating isn’t all that great.

Except among Blacks.

According to the latest Gallup Poll (tip: Los Angeles Times Top of the Ticket), 91% of Blacks approve of the job Obama is doing, compared to 36% for Whites.

What?

91%?

Really, Black Folks?

Sometimes, I just don’t understand.

I grew up in southeast Georgia, where Blacks made up 40% of the population. We went to school together, played together, went to church together… But do I really understand Blacks?

Hell, I don’t understand my sisters, so understanding Blacks? That may be too much to ask.

Still, I did learn early on that Blacks and Whites do some things differently.

Like playing the card game Tonk. Or playing checkers with Flying Kings. And, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you don’t know Black Folks. Or Black Folks in the south, anyway.

Little things like that made me aware that different people … are different.

Now, it’s not just different races that do things different. Wife’s family, mostly from Alabama, for instance, has some really strange ways of playing Dominoes.

And that fits with what I learned early on: different people, whether of different races, different sexes, different locations, do and think things different from one another.

So, I suppose I’m not all that surprised that Blacks have a different opinion of Barack Obama’s job performance.

But, a difference of 91% to 36% in Obama’s approval rating? That’s more than “playing checkers with Flying Kings” different.

I suspect there’s a little bit of the whole “Black man done good” thing going on.

Only, here’s the thing: he ain’t doing all that good. And he ain’t all that Black.

It’s been a couple of years now. Time to get over that “proud of what that Black man done” thing when it comes to Obama.

Because, Obama is doing nothing positive for Blacks.

Think about this: If a politician from Georgia ran for president, what’s the first thing people would think? I’ll tell you: Jimmy Carter.

It’d be hard for someone from Georgia to get elected president. And this is nearly 30 years after Carter left office. Carter spoiled it for Sam Nunn, Zell Miller, and others who might have made decent presidents. And who knows how long it will be before any politician from Georgia could run for president and people not wonder if he’d be another Jimmy Carter?

What does that mean for Blacks? Barack Obama is the Black Jimmy Carter. Obama is screwing it up for other Blacks. He’s doing a sucky job at president. Not because he’s Black, but because he’s an incompetent fool. Just like Jimmy Carter.

So, to my Black friends — and to Blacks that aren’t my friends — that still think Obama is doing a good job: open your eyes.

And raise your standards.

From Judicial Watch (emphasis mine):

On the heels of a scathing report exposing incessant waste in President Obama’s scandal-plagued economic stimulus, a news agency reveals that nearly $1 million in recovery funds have gone to a genitalia-washing program for uncircumcised African men.

If this seems like an inconceivable prank, just take a look at the public university study that received $823,200 in stimulus cash to encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV testing and counseling. Specifically, the taxpayer dollars will be used to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex.

Which, of course, begs the question: Did Barack’s Kenya-dad wash up after nailing the Obama-mom?

It also promotes the pondering: Don’t you wish Kenya-dad had washed up INSTEAD of nailing the Obama-mom on that fateful night in December of 1960?

Last week, while Fred was on vacation, S.E. Cupp was one of the guest hosts. While behind the mike, she tore off a beautiful rant, which I figured you guys might like:

It’s 2 years into Obama’s first term, and it took me almost 2 years to realize something. A huge revelation. I realized it while I was listening to his Iraq speech the other night, during which Obama was sure to dig into President Bush (just a little).

What I realized was that I have dated this guy before. Obama is like the new boyfriend who is absolutely obsessed with your ex-boyfriend. And he spends most of his time trashing your old boyfriend for no real reason, other than he’s insecure and pre-pubescent and doesn’t really know how to behave in an adult relationship. So he complains about your ex-boyfriend incessantly, and tells you that your life is a mess now because of him, that he was a loser, and what were you doing with him all those years?

And he hates all the gifts he ever gave you, he doesn’t like it when you wear those earrings your ex-boyfriend gave you 5 years ago. And that TV you and your ex-boyfriend bought is a piece of crap, and he’s going to get you a new one – a better one – even though you really like the old TV and it works just fine.

And he’s going to make your life infinitely better – as soon as he stops whining about your ex-boyfriend. And he’s the best thing that ever happened to you – even though you’re not sure why. And if you don’t appreciate all that he does for you, then maybe you should just go back to your dumb ex-boyfriend, because you’re kind of dumb, too.

I gotta tell ya, this boyfriend – the Obama boyfriend – is the most annoying boyfriend ever. And a very short time into dating him, you realize this. It’s an “aha!” moment that makes you think, “what the hell was I thinking?”

You think, “well, he was good-looking, he talks a good game, smart, charming – but he’s a man-child, and he’s changing my life irreparably just because he hates my ex-boyfriend. And I don’t really WANT to change my life irreparably. I’m thinking my life’s pretty good, and I just want to share it with someone supportive. I don’t need to be taken care of, I just want someone who GETS me.”

The problem, I just realized during this Iraq speech, is Obama doesn’t get me. And he doesn’t get you either. But in the process of insisting that he is the best thing ever to happen to you, he’s going to make us all pretty darn miserable.

And suddenly that ex-boyfriend isn’t looking like such a bad guy after all.

My local Little League baseball team was knocked out of the Little League World Series yesterday. The West team, from Waipahu, Hawaii, beat the Southeast team, from Columbus, Georgia.

Ever since Barack Obama was thrust onto the national scene, the Hawaii has been tainted by association. However, Barack Obama doesn’t have any connection with Hawaii Little League. None whatsoever.

I mean, you’ve seen him try to throw a baseball, right?

Plus, Little League requires a birth certificate.

we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way — in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evel, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

There was a president with a crossbow, and a president who liked to bow.

Vladimir Putin, prime minister and former president of Russia, shot a whale with a crossbow today.

Compare that to the president of the United States, who bows to other leaders.

Remember when the United States used to have a president who … was a man?

I miss those days.

Anybody with one eye and half sense can tell that Barack Obama is a screw-up.

Some of us knew he was before he was elected. Now, everyone else is finding out what we knew all along: Barack Obama is a screw-up.

The only question remains is: how big of a screw-up is Obama?

Well, I saw today’s Gallup and Rasmussen polls. And Gallup, which poll a sample of voting-age Americans, has Obama’s approval rate at 44%:

Rasmussen, which polls a sample of likely voters, has Obama’s approval rating at 45%:

Now, think about that for a minute.

Gallup doesn’t limit to likely voters. It includes more than likely voters. Which means those not likely to vote. Those that don’t care enough to vote.

Obama is such a screw-up, that even people that don’t care are pissed at him.

I can see November from my house.

Today is Barack Obama’s birthday. At least that’s what people are saying. Without a birth certificate, it’s hard to know for sure. I blame the poor state of health care in Kenya in 1961.

Anyway, since he’s up and walking around, we’ll assume he does have a birthday, okay? I don’t think he’s a robot. Or a space alien. Although either of those would explain a lot.

No, I think he’s a human. Or close enough, anyway. And, sure, I’ll go along with today being his birthday.

Which means … PARTY! Because everyone from Georgia is all about the party, right?

So, how do we celebrate Barack Obama’s birthday?

I have some ideas:

• Find an Arab king and bow to him.
• Go on vacation. But not to the Gulf.
• Blame Bush for any gray hairs I find.
• Spend a trillion dollars. After all, it’s also Wednesday!
• Order the most expensive item on the menu, then, if they bring me a bill, tell the waitress she’s racist.
• If she’s White, tell her she’s racist anyway.
• Call Larry Sinclair, just for old time’s sake.
• Tax the rich.
• Tax the poor.
• Blame Bush for taxes going up.
• Tell everyone on teh Twitters how awesome I am.

Those are my ideas. You have any suggestions?

The only good thing about Obama is that someday they will make his birthday a national holiday, at which point Americans will finally, FINALLY have that day off in August they’ve been dreaming of for so long.

A Scout is:

• Trustworthy,
• Loyal,
• Helpful,
• Friendly,
• Courteous,
• Kind,
• Obedient,
• Cheerful,
• Thrifty,
• Brave,
• Clean,
• Reverent

Oh, and not as important as a daytime TV show.

Anyone with any sense can see that Barack Obama is an incompetent idiot.

Of course, anyone with any sense would have known this before the election.

So, how did Obama get elected to begin with? And why do so many people, despite all the facts, still cling to him?

College football.

No, really. Think about it. Some people are fans of college football. Some go nuts about it. About their favorite team. And it’s scarily similar to the way some people are about Barack Obama.

Here in the south, college football is king. Georgia fans love UGA and hate Georgia Tech. Tech fans love the Ramblin’ Wreck and hate the Bulldogs. It’s like that in every state. Alabama vs Auburn. Florida vs FSU. Mississippi vs Mississippi State. Southern California vs UCLA. It’s like that all over, and at all levels of college football.

Then, you have interstate rivalries. Georgia and Florida fans hate each other. Ohio State and Michigan are that way, too. Texas vs Oklahoma.

Now, imagine for a minute if suddenly, say, my team, the University of Georgia, was shown to have committed every NCAA violation there is. And, the school lost accreditation. And the football team went 0-11.

Would I suddenly become a Georgia Tech fan? Or a Florida fan? Or an Auburn fan?

No, I’d still have that UGA tag on my car (or would have, if someone hadn’t broken it when they backed into my car).

Now, take the same scenario, but make the schools on the other side of the country: Washington vs Washington State. What would a Washington fan do if his school committed every NCAA violation there is, lost accreditation, and the football team went 0-11? He’d be unhappy, but he’d be a Husky fan still.

Ohio State vs Michigan. Same thing. No matter what happened, no matter what the facts show, the Buckeye fan would still be a Buckeye fan. The Wolverine fan would still be a Wolverine fan.

And that’s how Obama followers are.

Only, here’s the thing: as a football fan, I’ll joke about how college football isn’t a matter of life and death; it’s so much more important than that. I’ll joke about how the top religious groups in Georgia are, in reverse order, Methodist, Baptist, and Bulldog.

The thing is, I know it’s just a game. I know the Bulldog Nation means nothing next to the Family of God.

Obama followers? They’re a lot like college football fans. Only, the presidency is a matter of life and death. Ask any soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine.

The presidency and the direction of this country isn’t a game. Football is a game. Politics is serious business.

Obama followers have the loyalty down pat. But, it’s misplaced. They’re following a man, not a principle.

When it comes to college football, I’ll get on some other UGA fans’ nerves when I cheer for Georgia Tech against an ACC opponent. They’ll pull their hair out when I cheer for Florida in a bowl game. But, as much as I am a fan of UGA, I’ll cheer for the other teams in the state. And for the other teams in the conference.

I’m a football fan. I express it through UGA.

Politically, I’m a conservative. I express it through, well, blogging. And voting. And by political donations.

I didn’t agree with everything Ronald Reagan did (primarily, pulling out of Lebanon was a bad idea). I didn’t agree with everything George Bush did (primarily, the first bailout). But I’m not tied to an individual. I’m tied to a conservative philosophy of self-reliance and personal responsibility, backed with Christian beliefs.

Obama followers, and most on the left, blindly follow their leader, parroting what they’re told, and ignoring the facts that contradict their version of reality, as explained to them.

They’re like rabid college football fans. But it’s not a game. And they don’t understand that.

As long as we understand that about them, we’ll be able to get by.

I just hope like hell that, come November, they think it’s spring break and go on vacation overseas. And stay there.

Speaking at the American University School of International Service, the president said that being an American “is not a matter of blood or birth.” (tip: Jo’s Cafe)

Translation: Someone found his birth certificate.

So… Larry Kudlow was on the Fred Thompson show today, and – just for fun – I grabbed a few phrases out of context and put ‘em together, and I’m thinking this would make a great ringtone for Obama’s Blackberry:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Now, I don’t think Obama would install this of his own free will, so I need one of you to distract him while I get this done.

No, I don’t know how. You’re smart. Think of something!

Maybe like pointing & shouting, “Look! A blind, crippled, atheist Native American lesbian with no judicial experience!”, and when he turns around to appoint her to the Supreme Court, I’ll take care of business.

Of course, if you’ve got a better idea, I’m willing to listen.
