The Obama Card: Priceless

Obama AWOL for National Day of Prayer

Friday is the National Day of Prayer, and the President once again shows that he is the President of the whole United States and not just the liberal wing of the Democrat party.

Yeah, right.

So it's no surprise that Barack Obama will not publicly observe the National Day of Prayer. Oh, he'll sign a proclamation but he won't have anything else to do with it. Instead he'll pray "privately," which is just the kind of example the President of the Unites States should set: Lead in private. (If that's how he chooses to lead, what's with the surprise appearance at the daily press briefing that brought the media to its feet?)

Why should Obama endure a National Day of Prayer when he doesn't even consider the United States to be "a Christian nation"? Isn't he the Liberal Messiah, the agent of Change? Why should we bother praying to God when Obama and the Government will take care of us? That's why he was elected, wasn't it?

When Obama does address a prayer breakfast (as he did on Feb. 9 below), he prefers to speak of faith in negative terms as being something "welded as a tool to divide us from one another."




Today is not the first time Obama has distanced himself from topics of faith and religion; it certainly won't be the last.

Oh, There's No Bias in the Media at All

The mainstream media treats all Presidents just the same: Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama. Honest, unbiased journalism, not tainted by their own personal views or influenced by the media outlets they work for. Not a single bit.




Oops...scratch that.

Madame Speaker Exaggerates

According to the esteemed Madame Speaker, 500 million Americans are losing their jobs every month. Incredibly, no reporter present even questions her about it!

Just one more example that Democrats can and will say anything to perpetuate the gloom and doom factor they have championed.

President Reagan's First Inaugural Address

Twenty-eight years ago today, President Ronald Reagan delivered his first Inaugural Address. His was a true message of hope and change, ideals that he believed resided within the American people and not simply one man.

Surely There Will Be No Missing "O"'s

Remember eight years ago today when the outgoing Clinton administration left $15,000 worth of "damage, theft, vandalism, and pranks" to government property on their way out the White House door? Oh, those rascally Democrats.

At the time, Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer played down the Clintonian shenanigans:

"Whether things were done that were perhaps less gracious than should have been, it is not going to be what President Bush focuses on, nor will it be what his staff focuses on. Whatever may have been done, we are going to just put our heads down and look ahead,'' he said.

The bad thing is, many of these jokers will be returning.

But I'm sure President Obama will find all the "O"'s on his keyboards.

Not Without a Hitch

Not exactly off on the right foot, huh?



UPDATE: In fairness, Chief Justice John Roberts messed up first. The oath should read: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States..." Roberts said "execute faithfully" instead, which may have caused Obama to stumble on his words.

I wonder if this is the first time the Oath of Office has been flubbed by an incoming President?
