printThe following is an excerpt from “Lard (And Love) Is In The Air,” my new WorldNetDaily.com column:
“Try as they do to stick to substance (and I mean that in the narrowest sense), any typical exchange between the Obama press pimp and the presstitutes in attendance quickly degenerates as follows:
‘Has he had a cigarette since the coronation? Where did He watch the Super Bowl? Who was invited to His White House Super Bowl bash? How late does He work? What’s He reading? Has the First Dog been named yet? Does He cry? Is there a twinkle in His eye?’
The idolatry continues on cable well after the news conferences have ended:
Huffed Arianna Huffington: ‘Omigod, the Godly One just admitted to screwing up. How different is He from Bush, who stayed the course and took the country over the cliff with him.’ Yada, yada…
Yes, lard is in the air everywhere. But so is love. As all the fawning seems to suggest, when Obama screws you over, it just feels right. After all, he has that certain je ne sais quoi.”
More on the “the president’s $900 billion oink omnibus bill,” and the misconceptions Democrats and Republicans have about it, in “Lard (And Love) Is In The Air.”
All fine and well to admit to a fairly “minor” judgement error. Will he however be so honest when (not if) the bailouts fails (which will unfortunately probably only be clear long after he has left the office).
On another point Ilana, not sure whether you have heard, but dock workers from Cosatu (a major local union) has refused to unload an “apartheid-Israel” ship at Durban harbour. Seems like Jews are fast becoming more hated than Afrikaners in SA. (My apologies in advance for this not being related to the topic)
[Good tip; thanks.]
Media critic/former CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg just finished a new book called: “A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media”. See:

– Here is an excerpt: “But I’ll tell you something else — and this is the single most embarrassing sentence I have ever seen in The Washington Post. This is a story on Christmas morning, Page 1, Washington Post, about Barack Obama’s exercise regimen. I’m going to read you the line and I don’t blame you if you think I am making it up. I swear to God I’m not: “The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weight-lifting sessions each week and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games.”
Let me tell you something. If there has been a more embarrassing sentence ever published in The Washington Post, please, somebody tell me what it is. You’d read something like this in a romance novel with Fabio on the cover. This is the kind of slobbering I’m talking about. This is not the same old, same old. They jumped the shark this time.”
Great article, and instead of, as the MSM seems to regard the intellectually and ethically empty Obama, “Lord Obama,” he should now and forever after be referred to as “Lard Obama.”
I have not heard anyone implicate Bill Clinton in the economic tail spin we are going through right now. Some folks think that he had a hand in bringing this about. Martin Berrow
[To quote from “IOUSA“: “blame for the depression, however, belongs not with Obama the newcomer, but with Bush. With his foreign, fiscal and monetary policy, Bush broke the budget, balanced by Bill Clinton, and doubled the federal debt—it was $5.6 trillion when “W” took office; it is now $10.7 trillion. Although the trillions in bailouts were Bush’s, Republicans want only to prate about Obama’s planned “stimulus” spending.” Clinton did not have deficits.–IM]
