Olympic postmortem of an Olympic-sized failure

DENMARK—Aftermath: First and foremost we must consider the arrogant, self-serving, narcissistic speeches given by Barry and ‘Chelle Obama in Copenhagen, just your average millionaire political affirmative action couple living off their credit cards until a convicted influence peddler, Tony Rezko, pulled a fast one that allowed them to “buy” a Chicago mansion.

It begins there… these people are worst example of human nature; arrogant without any justification whatsoever.

Let’s listen in.

Michelle with reporters in the White House State Dining Room.:  "It's a battle -- we're going to win -- take no prisoners," the first lady said with a smile before leaving.

"Some of my best memories are sitting on my dad's lap, cheering on Olga and Nadia, Carl Lewis and others for their brilliance and perfection,” Mrs. Obama said. “My dad would have been so proud to witness these games in Chicago.”

Ahem.

Carl Lewis's first Olympics: 1984; Olga Korbut’s first: 1972; Nadia Comăneci’s first: 1976.

Michelle Obama’s birthday is Jan. 17, 1964, so it’s possible that Nadia and Olga, her Dad’s lap, and Michelle all intersected at some point, but gawd forbid she was sitting on the poor man when she was 20 and Carl Lewis was running and jumping.

Since the poor guy had MS; his doctors would rather not have had a very large, 20-year-old woman sitting on their dying patient.

As I wrote yesterday, virtually all democrats do this… they’re so out of touch with the everyday American that they feel that have to make up stories that we “’little people” will be moved or impressed by.

And the guy didn’t deserve to be used in such a manner. Fraser Robinson III, born 1935, was by all accounts a dedicated family man and a very hard worker despite his illness; he died in 1991 at 56.

Barry’s (The Prince of the Personal Pronoun) Denmark speech strategy: first, apologize again for American, and then beg for Chicago:

“America has acted unilaterally, without regard for the interests of others. No longer do we have the luxury of indulging our differences to the exclusion of the work that we must do together.

“… the USA is open to the world…. I want people to come away with the impression that America is an open and diverse society.

“Over the past few years the fundamental truth of the United States has been lost. The Olympic Games could restore it.”

And when it was over: "One of the things that I think is most valuable about sports is that you can play a great game and still not win," a disappointed Obama said, back at the White House after a quick five-hour stay in Copenhagen.

“Great game”?…. dead last?

Yeah, “My kid is a really, really good participant in Oak Village Little League”.

Makes sense though… he throws like a girl.

Reaction:

It is already being charged, of course, that “this is Bush’s fault.”

The left-wing should copyright the phrase.

So sayeth Blagojevich crony Sen. Rowland Burris, (D-Incompetent):

“…the image of the U. S. has been so tarnished in the last 8 years that, even Barack Obama making an unprecedented pitch for the games could not overcome the hatred the world has for us as a result of George Bush.”

Uh-huh.

And the totally irrelevant fake preacher and “civil rights” race hustler, Jesse Jackson:

"I'm shocked and saddened. We were emotionally prepared for it," he said, noting that the United States had sent its "A team" of President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle to push for the Chicago bid.

Arrogance Dooms Olympic Dream

Ron Flatter—RealClearSports.com

“Instead of dedicating three days and nights working the IOC members, as we hear Tony Blair did for London in its successful bid for 2012, President Obama figured all he had to do was show up for a few minutes….”

This is what happens to those who enlist in a cult of personality and drink the Koo-Aid…. even if they are atheists, it’s near impossible for them to accept that Obama is not God.

Took me awhile, but here are the money quotes from the “morgue” as we old school reporters used to call research:

About 10 days ago:

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama gave his strongest indication yet that he will not join the city's delegation to Copenhagen next month for the decision.

"I would make the case in Copenhagen personally, if I weren't so firmly committed to making real the promise of quality, affordable health care for every American," he said.

This would seem to indicate how reluctant Barry was to go to Denmark carrying water for his masters, and in the end how obvious that Chicago controls POTUS, and FLOTUS:

"Barack and I would feel such tremendous pride to see the Olympic torch burning brightly in the city that we love so much," Mrs. Obama said.

My homies, Don and Mike, and I just got back from Chi-Town… take it from me, the last thing the Chicago Police want is a torch burning brightly in Chicago. 

Not just “NO”, but “HELL, NO!!”

REE—jected!

Out in the first round of the competition to host the 2016 Olympics.

Like being 15-1 and and getting blasted in the NFL play-offs.

Not just Air Farce One and Her Highness’ 757 containing the corpulent bride’s maid, Oprah, (think of the lift required to get those three-wide bodies airborne), but the back-up 757 and the presidential backup 747, the staff, and the Secret Service, and the executive chef, and the arugula, and Oprah’s staff, and the major with the nuke football…. and the president’s limos, and the support Air Force C-130 heavy lifters containing two Marine One choppers.

My WAG?? $10 million, minimum.

And that’s nothing compared to the millions in bribes paid to the IOC by Mayor Daly and the battalion of Chicago developers and lobbyists (including Valerie Jarrett). 

Think of what Obama and the missus must have owed the Daly machine (see my post yesterday) to force him to make this glaringly in-yo-face trip when losing would be catastrophic for his well-crafted image.

But when The Man says you go…. you go.

Under the this rubric: “better the king-maker than the king”, we find the truth: POTUS is not the most powerful man in the world, the man who runs POTUS is.

There will be ramifications to this, especially because the cost:benefit ratio was in the everything to lose and nothing to gain category. First, the president shouldn't be pimping some curb and gutter project like a small town mayor… so what if he “won”…. other than half of the Windy City, nobody gives a damn.

And before this gets lost in the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the state-run news media (this was due to racism)—here’s The Predator dragging her father’s corpse on stage in the worst kind of macabre pandering.

“His wife tugged at IOC members’ heart strings by discussing her late father, who had multiple sclerosis. She recounted sitting on his lap, watching Olympians such as Carl Lewis and Nadia Comaneci compete, and how her father “taught me how to throw a ball and a mean right hook.”

“’My dad would have been so proud to witness these games in Chicago’, she said.”

And anyone who believes this bull (other than about the MS) is an idiot…. just another one of those imaginary events that democrats write the night before they speak, thinking it will lend a note of authenticity and pathos.

This was not the Obama massive ego, although I believe he would certainly have taken all the credit had Chicago been selected; after all, showing up in 2016 to wave at the crowd, perhaps cut the ribbon opening the synchronized swimming venue, held little interest for him.

No, this was Barack Hussein Obama paying IOUs; there were hundreds of billions riding on this and Obama tanked, and you know what happens when you get behind in your payments in Chicago.

This is also sobering for the man who promised he’d see that the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal. Securing the spectacle of people running around in circles and jumping over barriers, pales in comparison to saving the planet.

Fashionista

As you can tell, not only am I a political pundit… I am also a sworn officer in the International Fashion Police and for this post I have included photographic proof of the charges I’ll be filing.

So… what to make of the above little frock The First Lady of Fashion chose to wear last night in Copenhagen? 

“My mom made this for me and I’m not entirely happy with it.” That can be the only excuse.

Today I sent several citations to the  First Lady for the same fashion sins that most large, black women commit…. they cannot see any problem with mixing bold patterns, favor too tight clothes—especially across you-know-where, garishly loud clothes, and clothes that simple defy description, such the ensemble below, to which I’ll devote an emtire chapter in my graduate fashion school workshop: “The Axe-handle Faux Pas: How to Avoid Accentuating the Wrong Parts of the Body.”

But wait, there’s more:

 

 

 

Above all, you want to maintain that teepee shape when out and about with the President of the United States.

 

 

 

 

…. and so, it’s a fond adieu to Denmark from Big Bird:

(Note to Predator: lose the yellow; all of the yellow).

Tune in next week for my indictment of Mrs. Obama’s footwear selections which also serve as canoes for the First and Second Daughters, Malia and Sasha.

He who calls the tune pays the piper

I’m not sure how much longer Glenn Beck can continue to do what he’s doing.

I say this for two reasons: one, there is a limit to what the human body can do, and two, he is making more and more power enemies.

He spends a considerable amount on protection for himself, his family and his staff for obvious reasons. He has a concealed carry permit and his is strapped.

Paranoid? Crazy? Not a damned bit. And as a last line of defense there is Victor, the Beck family’s 100-pound expertly trained German Shepherd; I’d rather face Beck and his .45.

And in writing about this, faithful readers know that I’m not an alarmist… watch: don’t worry about the e’ffing swine flu.

How’s that?

But the reporting that Beck is doing with a smaller budget that that of the NYT publisher’s executive chef is beginning to point fingers closer and closer to those who have created Barack Hussein Obama.

The reason that the President of the United States, faced with a failing economy, the nuclear threat in Iran, a grinding war in Afghanistan which desperately needs 30,000 more troops yesterday, is traveling to Denmark to pimp for Chicago's Olympics bid is simple.

He who calls the tune pays the piper.

If you are paying for someone's services, you can dictate exactly what you want that person to do.

Today Barack Obama begins to pay back, directly, the Chicago cabal that groomed him for years and finally put him office.

The first 20 minutes of Beck’s program yesterday were devoted to deconstructing the power behind the throne.

Here’s the link to those 20 minutes… you owe it to yourself to watch; he connects the dots Woodward and Bernstein refuse to.

It’s a simple as this: Valerie Jarrett, whom I’ve only covered briefly in the past, is the Karl Rove of this administration; she is not only the Obamas’ closest advisor, she is their best friend and has been for years.

Jarrett:

• is Iranian.  
• is White House Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Liaison; she also chaired the Obama transition team.
• coached both Obamas at once — they first met when Michelle Obama applied for a job with Jarrett in the Chicago mayor’s office — and she has guided them ever since.
• founded Habitat Company in 1995, which develops and manages residential properties, from public housing to luxury condominiums. She is Habitat’s CEO. This company owns and or controls hundreds of thousands of apartments and condos.
• is a slum landlord, who has refused to answer a single question regarding Habitat and it’s holdings. You see, she’s capo dei capi—czar of all czars--  and therefore outside even the charade of Senate “advise and consent.”
• was given an “ethics waiver” so she could join the Obama team after the election despite having serves as a lobbyist and as Vice Chair of the non-profit entity "Chicago 2016" which seeks the Olympics.

Only in Washington could you obtain an “ethics waiver”… and with a straight face. 

Jarrett is the worst slum lord in the nation’s third-largest city… and that includes a lot of slum lords.  Jarrett and other developers have benefited from and have been enriched by Obama’s effort in the Senate to obtain government-funded subsidies.

Yes, you built them, Jarrett and others got rich; it now looks like Beirut and of course government funds are needed to rebuild them… get it?

Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which managed Grove Parc Plaza from 2001 until this winter and co-managed an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems.

Here’s one of Jarrett’s properties—Grove Parc—it has deteriorated to the point that it is uninhabitable and must be demolished. Barack Obama worked in this very area as "community organizer" and made it such a wonderful  success.

Surprisingly, the Boston Globe reported: “About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.”

It’s this simple: Habitat and other companies who prey of inner city blacks, allow public housing to deteriorate to the that the only answer is to demolish and just at the very time that the host city of the next Olympics with need property to build venues for the Games.      

“It will be a huge economic engine for Chicago, but it will have a ripple effect throughout the country,” adding that U.S. corporations have voiced support for Chicago’s bid.

Chicago my ass. A huge payoff is coming for those who groomed Obama and got him elected and if you still live in Grove Parc, you better find some place to go.  

Washington D.C. is no longer the capital of the United States,  it’s now Chicago on steroids, mega-steroids.

Meanwhile 43 young troops have died since Obama ignored Afghanistan theater commander, Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s urgent request for reinforcements… exactly one month ago.

If only their Commander-in-Chief cared for them as much as he does Valerie Jarrett.

A word about degenerates….

Does defending a degenerate—in this case, left wing Hollywood defending child rapist Roman Polanski—make one a degenerate?

No… it makes you worse. 

As soon as the bracelets clicked in Switzerland on the dwarf director’s tiny wrists (see below), more than a hundred left-wing artists and members of the intelligentsia (sic) mobilized to protect one of their disgusting own and demand his release.

The list includes the lucky to have his head Salman Rushdie, directors David Lynch, Jonathan Demme, John Landis, Mike Nichols, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Terry Gilliam (Monty Python) and—wait for it—Woody Allen! 

Debra Winger who had a career for about as long as it takes me to drink a Starbuck’s grande, even “issued” a statement:

Winger (shown left with close friend)... on Monday demanded Polanski's release and criticized Swiss authorities for their "philistine collusion" in arresting Polanski as he entered the country for a film festival.

"This fledgling festival has been unfairly exploited, and whenever this happens the whole art world suffers," Winger said.

Among her other amazing talents (sic) Whoopi Goldberg is like her idol, Barry Obama,…. she’s omniscient:

"I know it wasn't ‘rape-rape’. It was something else but I don't believe it was ‘rape-rape’. He went to jail and and when they let him out he was like "You know what this guy's going to give me a hundred years in jail I'm not staying, so that's why he left."

That’s right dumbass, it’s called fugitive flight it’s what guilty criminals do because they have the money to make bail. It’s what Nazi war criminals did, it’s what O.J. Simpson did.

You see, Whoopi and Winger and all those directors and millions of other Americans, probably 68 million, are enlightened, leftist feminists. They are for other enlightened, leftist feminists, but claim the right to (and no doubt have in fact) murder(ed) babies in womb and believe that it’s perfectly understandable to drug (with Quaaludes) and then rape and sodomize a 13-year-old child.

In fact, this child.

I’ve read the 30-page, pre-sentencing probation report in this case.

The crime.

At every turn the rape of this child was either aided and assisted, facilitated or not prevented by no less than 8-10 adults who had a chance to intervene or who bent over backwards to see that Polanski did not have to pay for his crime.

• The girl’s mother (a a twice-divorced, failed actress, there’s a surprise) freely allowed the girl to go unaccompanied with 44 year-old Polanski twice to be photographed for a “foreign fashion magazine.“
• Polanski said that he took the girl to a Santa Monica area home of a friend to take some pictures but a number of people also arrived so, he took the girl next door to the time of Jack Nicholson who was away at the time.
• A neighbor, Helena Kalliniaotes, who watched Nicholson’s house allowed Polanski and the girl in the house and them opened a bottle of champagne from which all three drank. She would later say she thought the girl was 18 “… trying to get in movies. I assumed they were lovers.”
• Angelica Houston, Nicholson's girlfriend at the time testified that she came by the house, learned Polanski was there and knocked on the bedroom door. She said, “Roman, are you in there?” Polanski who had already drugged and raped the girl twice went to the door and talked briefly with Houston and returned to the bed and attempted a third assault.
• Later the child and Polanski came downstairs and talked with Houston who said, “She didn’t seem to be distressed. She was breathing high in her throat when she came out… she seemed sullen which I thought was a little rude.” (Well, imagine that, being rude after emerging from the bedroom with a middle-aged man.)
• Houston said that she “though she was one of those little chicks who could be any age up to 25.”

Miss Houston is nothing if not a person of wide margins.

The arrest.

Polanski’s takes the girl home; the girl says nothing to her about the assault. But when the girl’s 17-year-old boyfriend comes over she hears him and her daughter discussing the drugging and sexual assault.

Polanski, apparently an idiot in addiction to being a pedophile, gave the girl some proof of the nude shots he had taken of her. These were then discovered found by her mother who immediately called….. wait…. her accountant.

The accountant, the only human being in this whole disgusting affair, told her to call police immediately.

Polanski was later arrested in the lobby of a hotel.

The plea bargain and justice denied.

In the end Polanski admitted the assault which contained in part the following:

• The defendant said that during the first photo session he took topless shots of the girl outdoors but “… didn’t realize that topless photos objectionable here (the U.S.)… they’re acceptable in Europe.”

And it is these towering, promethean mores and values that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wants the Supreme Court to use in interpreting our Constitution.

In the usual get-outta-jail-free-card, Hollywood plea bargain, Polanski agree to plead guilty to a single charge of unlawful intercourse with a female less than 14 years of age.

In his pre-sentencing probation report, PO Irwin Gold was nothing if not rhapsodic over his probationer’s great character, profession and his high-octane friends.

He spent to or three pages filled with quotes from his friends about the scumbag’s great contribution to the universe and his kind and gentle and in no way criminal behavior. 

Mia Farrow’s letter was not the most gushing, calling him “… a brave and brilliant man important to all people.” Others mention how helpful he’d been to Polish Jews, giving them generous donations.

In the end the mother didn’t want this paragon of virtue behind bars, but she was adamant about Polanski showing remorse.

She and the PO were equally concerned that a trial might “…cause serious damage to the victim.”

Naturally, there was an undisclosed amount of money that exchanged hands… I hope the kid got some of it, but I doubt it.

The PO ended his evaluation recommending no incarceration, no therapy or psychiatric care because he was “unlikely to reoffend” , and lobbied to have the travel restrictions lifted for such an important personage as Mr. Polanski who had to travel to work, don’t you know.

Proving that “polak jokes” will never die, Polanski reviewed this situation and decided his only chance was to flee the country… which he did; and in so doing he’ll face a 2009 judge instead of a 1977 judge. The world has turned over several times since those days… even in Hollywierd.

YLSIL: GA, why so much time on this case? It was a long time ago and there are more important things to solve like global warming.

GA: Yeah, I heard that for 20 years ago about Bill Clinton the draft dodger…that the Vietnam war was “a long time ago” and that we should all practice situational ethics and that the passage of time is plenty enough reason to forgive… any left-wing jack ass.

No, this is a perfect case for the Brave New World that godless leftists want to force on the rest of us, a cesspool of gay marriage, child rape, abortion, everything/anything is alright all the time, school children should be brainwashed to pray and pledge their allegiance to be the servants of whomever the left’s political leader is.

They seek the final destruction of the America that rose from obscurity to lead and protect the world from the kind of people you’ve just read about.

If Roman Polanski can get a slapped wrist out of all this, which is entirely likely, it’s easy to understand why Obama is president.

They all come from the same cess pool…. if you need proof, just tune in the dimocrat national convention or the inauguration of any dimocrat president.

And what about the sexually abused little girl? Well, Samantha Geimer, now 46, is a product of that cess pool and that has damaging life-long effects.

January 12, 2009--Samantha Geimer, 45, who was raped by fugitive film director Roman Polanski three decades ago, has filed a legal declaration asking that the charge against Polanski be dismissed in the interest of saving her from further trauma as the case is publicized anew.

Oh, that’s Miss Geimer over there, shown at the premiere of the HBO documentary “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,” on May 6, 2008…. being victimized once again by coverage of those lurid details.

When the going gets tough, the tough go to Copenhagen

This must have been the way Custer felt…. “which e’ffing way do I shoot?”

Do I sight in on the fifth or is it the 17th video of our children being brainwashed into “pledging allegiance” to the new Leader of the World?

“Mmmm…mmmmm… mmmm….  Ba-rock… Hu sane….. Obama.”

Or do I hit the Faux President for being AWOL 80% of the time?

On Thursday Obama will be in Copenhagen drinking lattes and schlepping along behind The Predator as her clean-up hitter with the International Olympic Community sales pitch as the First Couple pimps the O-lympics… get it,  “O”?

Americans are right to be outraged with Obama’s refusal to earn his paycheck by carrying out the duties expected of a president considering we need a troop surge in Afghanistan, decisions on Iran’s latest new secret nuke site, sky-high unemployment and an economy imperiled.

Another 700 words on such dereliction duty while America circles the drain?

I could, but the people who see the outrage, feel it, don’t need convincing that Ba-rock… Hu sane….. Obama is the “Manchurian Candidate”. (“Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.”) The useful idiots like your liberal sister-in-law will never understand, and that’s why Lenin called dubbed them; their idiocy is their usefulness.

And our out and out enemies—socialists and communists, the far left, most liberals, fifth-columnists and dimocrats—must be stopped in their tracks… now; they have a 40-year head start on the million+ people you saw at the March on DC two weeks ago. 

I’ve written frequently about the machine which brought the unknown Barry Obama to the forefront of national politics seemingly overnight, except it wasn’t overnight, but a decades-long program which needed to be entrenched and working before just the right Raymond Shaw could be found.

None of what you’ve witnessed in this coup is by chance or coincidence; Obama is the test tube baby of the radical left’s affirmative action program.

Every step of the way since childhood he has received a helping hand, a helping left hand, over every obstacle faced by anyone.

The only thing he lacked, being the half-Nigerian child of two PhDs, raised by a doting, white grandmother who was a bank vice president in middle class Hawaii, was even the slightest connection to African-American authenticity; in short, anything associated with being black in America.

He added to his thin resume in college by intentionally seeking out friends from whom he could steal “street cred”.  This is confirmed in his autobiography, “Dreams of My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance”: 

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully.The more politically active black students.The foreign students.The Chicanos.The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

“We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets.At night,in the dorms,we discussed neocolonialism,Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy.When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling constraints.We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure.

“We were alienated.”

You can curse Barry all you want, but he told us up front he was a communist… but actually he’s a fascist out to gather power for himself and nothing more. His only concern is that the trains run on time.

“Mmmm…mmmmm… mmmm….  Ba-rock… Hu sane….. Obama.”

The Obama ascendency is as likely as a Single-A pitcher with no curveball playing in the World Series at the end of his first year as a pro. Such a phenom gets there by himself? Hardly. And this guy plays for the Black Sox.   

There are so many places to dig I haven’t even bothered with Michelle Obama’s patient-dumping scheme back in Chi-town. Nor have I written yet about Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings… and homo activist who encourages the victims of pedophilia to relax and enjoy the ride.

Fox News reports:

“President Obama's "safe schools czar" is a former schoolteacher who has advocated promoting homosexuality in schools, written about his past drug abuse, expressed his contempt for religion and detailed an incident in which he did not report an underage student who told him he was having sex with older men.”

At left is Kevin Jennings, Obama's director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, who is being opposed but those who believe he is “too radical” for the job.

Too radical ??? He’s an e’ffing degenerate! In a nation of 300 million, Barry comes up with this perv?

Whoa, caught myself… back to images, to get that last image ‘outcher mind.

Symbols have meaning, that’s why we call them symbols.

I say “Golden Arches” and you say,….? “Monday Night……”?

The symbolism and imagery employed by those who have run the Obama machine from well before he entered local politics in Chicago takes its cue from Leni Riefenstahl, right, chief propagandist of the Third Reich.

As a candidate he succeeded in portraying himself as the incumbent, even though his real political experience as a “community organizer” was far less than that of  Gov. Sarah Plain who in a normal election year would not have been within a 81mm mortar from the second spot on a national ticket.

The Obama onslaught in 2008 will stand as the greatest sleight of hand in the history of US electoral politics; the candidate with the barest resume in US history won by running as the incumbent.

“Mmmm…mmmmm… mmmm….  Ba-rock… Hu sane….. Obama.”

The Obama campaign was masterful; his motorcade was almost always comprised of big, black, heavily-window tinted Suburbans and limos; his “O” symbol was not-so-subtly switched with the usual red white and blue livery.

His campaign planes looked presidential.. the media even contributed, calling his 737 “O-Force One.”  

Of course the duplicity of the U.S. news media was virtually 100% in the Obama campaign which reinforced the imagery and symbolism thousands of times a day.

And the Presidential Seal morphed into this: 

He tried to emulate every president he could think of  from Lincoln to JFK  to FDR.

He campaigned in Germany, the first time a candidate has sought votes for president in a foreign country, let alone in the nation that gave us two world wars and Nazism.

This is not leadership, this is embarrassment, and he is leading us to Armageddon.
