The National Conversation (Raw)

The New Model

CEO and President of the United States Barack Obama announced a merger between Italy's Fiat and US auto giant Chrysler (who is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after debt-restructuring talks collapsed).

So, I guess the government bailouts didn't work? Or did they? Obama is now a captain of industry!

Yea.

The Only Thing to Fear...

What does the Obama administration have against New York?  First, they scare the hell out of Gotham City with "Obama One" fly-bys. Now Joe Biden is telling the good people of the city to avoid subways and planes . . .which begs the question:

Are you more afraid today than you were one hundred days ago?

Sometimes people are just... wonderful!

Is this leadership you can believe in?

When asked about the Swine Flu by Matt Lauer of the Today Show this morning, Joe Biden said that he would not personally get on a plane or a subway right now. But when asked if the U.S. should close the border or suspend travel to Mexico, Biden asked if we should close all the borders. What about Canada?  And, Mexico is a huge border...

Mixed messages? Naaaaah, according to BO, that horse has already left the barn.

Politico has the story.

What's Next?

Copycat!

From the Guardian:

"Obama's signature campaign slogan, Yes We Can, has been replicated by the Iranian president in a promotional video issued for Iran's presidential poll on 12 June, when Ahmadinejad is seeking reelection."

[I guess imitation is the best form of flattery. Is this Ahmadinejad unclenching his fist?]

"The video features a cover picture of Ahmadinejad wearing his trademark white jacket and pointing to the Farsi phrase Ma Mitavanim (We Can) on a blackboard. The film is aimed at students and capitalises on his former status as a university lecturer."

Hey, if it worked for a neophyte, imagine the power of "Yes We Can" in the hands of an avowed anti-Semite who sees himself as the Islamic John the Baptist, who is ushering in the age of the 12th Iman (Muslim Messiah) who will kill all the Jews and convert the world to Islam!

Nice.

I wish BO would use his outstretched arm to go upside this nut job's head!

Come On!

Do you really expect me to believe that someone took "Obama One" for a joy ride and he didn't know about it?

Come on!

Are you telling me that heads wouldn't roll if the President were truly surprised by this?

Come on!!

If I took my dad's $300,000 Bentley on a simulated drive-by for kicks and giggles... what do you think? Would Dad say, "I'm outraged and it will never happen again..."

Come on!!!

I think the American people are a bunch of rubes! This arrogant, arrogant man scared the pee out of New Yorkers out of pure vanity, for a photo op.  And, what? No one knows how this happened and we need an investigation.

Come ON!!!!!

p.s. BO may have dropped "war on terror" from his lexicon but terror is alive and well in the hearts and memories of many New Yorkers. What a jackass!
