* Congratulations to Obama! He’s now increased the debt more in three years than George W. Bush did his entire eight year presidency. But all that spending was worth it because just look at the great results!
So what exactly is the argument that Obama isn’t a hugely incompetent failure? So far it’s “Look! Over there! A war on women!”
* In a recent poll, two-thirds want the individual mandate in Obamacare to be scrapped. Freedom is pretty popular in this country; who knew? It’s certainly must have taken Obama by surprise. “People don’t want the government to force people to do stuff? Then why’d they even elect me?”
* Biden said something, which is always entertaining. Speaking of Obama deciding to go after Osama bin Laden, Biden said, “You can go back 500 years. You cannot find a more audacious plan.” Yeah, they thought bin Laden was there, so they went in and got him. Pretty audacious. Perhaps most audacious thing ever. And all because of Obama. When he was told they thought they knew where Osama was, they asked Obama, “So should we go get him?” Obama could have answered “No” or “Maybe”, but instead, he went with, “Yes.”
Audacious.
Of course, this is common boasting. At the same fundraiser, Biden said, “During my vice presidency, I swear I’ve eaten more Cheetos than ANYONE EVER HAS IN 500 YEARS!”
* Video has surfaced of Eric Holder saying that they need to “brainwash” people to be anti-gun. Have liberals ever succeeded in brainwashing anyone other than themselves, though? They repeat something enough times, they convince themselves it’s a great idea and everyone supports it, but they seem to have a lot of trouble with the rest of the country such as with Obamacare.
And with Occupy Wall Street, regular washing would be much more effective.
* As gas prices continue to rise, I think I’ve figured out Obama’s energy plan:
PHASE 1: Keep Americans from drilling for more oil.
PHASE 2: Wish really hard.
PHASE 3: Green energy!
BTW, the wishing really hard costs billions of dollars and sometimes sets houses on fire.
* While at the University of Chicago, Romney said, “I don’t see how a young American can vote for a Democrat.” His point was how the Democrats just keep leaving young people more and more debt to pay. It’s a pretty good point; if Obama gets a second term, how many more trillions will be left for the nation’s youth to deal with? Of course, young people vote overwhelming for the Democrats. Why? Because they’re stupid. Ah, stupid people, the backbone of the Democratic Party. The only advantage Republicans have is that stupid people are also often lazy and thus don’t get out to vote.
* Here’s Crowder with a great video on Mixed Martial Arts, unions, New York State, and freedom:
Maybe to solve this, we just need to punch more hippies. Now, does the MMA know anyone good at punching…
* Wisdom of the Day from Fred Thompson:
Carney to reporters: hope you watch new movie about Obama 1st term “many times.” They might. Look at “Titanic” box office numbers.
* The average teen is said to send and receive sixty text messages a day. When did communication devolve into this? We used to be able to talk with actual voice to people at a distance, but now all teens want to do is send short messages. I’m going to try and bring back the telegraph and market it to teens; it seems like the next logical step.
lmao at the telegraph… That’s so crazy it just might work!
“While at the University of Chicago, Romney said, “I don’t see how a young American can vote for a Democrat.” His point was how the Democrats just keep leaving young people more and more debt to pay. It’s a pretty good point…”
It would have been a good point, if Romney hadn’t acted like a democrat while he was governor:

“I’m going to try and bring back the telegraph and market it to teens; it seems like the next logical step.”
That will only lead to telegraphexting.
Of course killing Bin Laden was an audacious plan. Obama was the first black president to KILL Bin Laden.

Here is one:

A few highlights.
-He’s gotten more done in three years than any president in decades.
-Health care reform. The takeover and turnaround of the auto industry. The biggest economic stimulus in history. Sweeping new regulations of Wall Street. A tough new set of consumer protections on the credit card industry. A vast expansion of national service. Net neutrality. The greatest increase in wilderness protection in fifteen years. A revolutionary reform to student aid. Signing the New START treaty with Russia. The ending of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
-On the foreign policy front he ended the war in Iraq, began the drawdown in Afghanistan, helped to oust Gaddafi in Libya and usher out Mubarak in Egypt, orchestrated new military and commercial alliances as a hedge against China, and tightened sanctions against Iran over its nukes.
-Oh, and he shifted counterterrorism strategies to target Osama bin Laden and then ordered the risky raid that killed him.
More at the link. Hope you enjoy it!

P.S. Still working on Volume 2 of the “The Chronicles of Dubya”?
Perhaps you could review in it all the things Bush accomplished over his eight year term.
What were those things again? Can you please remind us?
The more I hear about Obama’s non-gutsy non-call to kill Osama, the more it makes me think that he wishes God was like George Lucas. You can ruin a whole planet and destroy civilization and democracy, but still be completely redeemed in Jedi heaven for killing one dirtbag.
@MFL
“The biggest economic stimulus in history.”
And that’s a good thing?
For jobs that were “not shovel-ready” ?

Hummmm…I would have thought D-Day might have been considered the most audacious thing in the last five hundred years or maybe the first moon landing. When they asked Ike, “So should we invade Europe?” Ike could have answered “No” or “Maybe”, but instead, he went with, “Yes.” One could also say the same about the first moon landing…When they asked Neil Armstrong, “So should we land on the Moon?” Neil could have answered “No” or “Maybe”, but instead, he went with, “Yes.” I think even Osama had Biden pegged. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/03/16/bin_laden_put_biden_in_charge_hes_totally_unprepared
MFL – Bush’s accomplishments? Tax cuts & dead terrorists.
That’s all I want from a president. No more. No less.
Damn MFL…I am impressed. Obama’s accomplishments are so super-awesome that HE should wear a super-awesome pimp hat to signify his super-awesomeness to the rest of us. I am particularly impressed with the way he has raised our debt to super-awesome proportions in super-awesome record time. I am also impressed with your super-awesome ability to put lipstick on a pig. Maybe you should wear a super-awesome pimp hat too.
Harvey walks into a restaurant and sits down:
Waiter: “What can I get you today?”
Harvey: “Tax cuts & dead terrorists.”
Waiter: “That’s it, then? Anything else?”
Harvey: “That’s all I want. No more. No less.”
Waiter: “Coming right up, then!”
Waiter yells to cook: “Low-cal Sh!t On A Shingle, and make it snappy!”
Just thought I’d chime in and let you all know that Baby arrived yesterday just after noon! Her Auntie will be updating the baby pool soon, and then we’ll know who won. 🙂
Really? My birth announcement is awaiting moderation?
I’m casting my vote for “Low-cal Sh!t On A Shingle 2012”
Oh, and congrats, Carolyn. Got you a dedicated post so folks can oo! & ah! over the new bundle o’ joy:
http://www.imao.us/index.php/2012/03/congratulations/
CONGRATULATIONS, CAROLYNTHEMOMMYOF2!!!1!!!
And she’s blogging one day after giving birth! Powerful Celt, that one.
And for those couples who’ve yet to have a baby, I can tell you from personal experience they’re the best thing on this planet.
FranK:
Dot dash dot dot, dash dash dash, dot dash dot dot!
Congrats Carolyn. My wife is mommy of three. We love the little buggers. Hope you enjoy yours as much!
Congrats, Carolyn!
Many Blessings to you!!
So I guess I missed this at the recent Evil Republican White Guy meeting, but when did we declare a War On Women and what do we get when we win it?
Despite the War On Women, Carolyn still managed to have the baby! Whoo!
Congratulations, Carolyn! My wife and I thought your now-defunct posting name was hysterical, but babies are way better.
On a completely different note, re Monkey Faced Liberal’s posts: Who has time to play Tokyo Rose / Lord Haw Haw like that?
MFL incorrectly equates an “accomplishment” (though each listed could debated) with “proof of competence”…
Harvey didn’t poo his pants today! Yeah!!! Make him VP!!!
Dumb MFL…
Shane – Is that part of the qualifications now?
Dang.
Maybe tomorrow…
Congrats to Carolyn the Mommy of 2!
How is little Wolf the Quarrelsome?
#2 – Son of Bob,
Good article!
“Indeed, this writer has documented that Romney has changed his position on over thirty key issues as he completed his metamorphous into a conservative. We expect politicians to change their mind on one or two issues over the course of a career, but when one changes their mind on EVERY foundational issue shortly before a run for the presidency, we must be skeptical. Indeed, it is difficult to accept Romney’s conversion on so many issues as authentic. This is why conservatives do not trust him.”
(Is there enough lipstick in the world to get that job done?)
