Palin Likes Obama Hitler Comparison
Sarah Palin wants her Palindrones to read an editorial comparing President Obama to Hitler. (For a black man whose people were repressed for centuries he sure turned the tables on that white majority pretty quickly to assume a position of power akin to that of Adolph Hitler. Why, just the other day I was commenting on the number of white people that were being rounded up and sent to “camps” for census “counting.” I wondered if my family and I should hide in the basement of our Asian neighbors so the Census officers couldn’t arrest us when they came to our house!)
Why is Obama Hitler this time? Well, this time he had the audacity to demand that BP finance a $20 Billion Dollar fund for victims of the oil spill. (By the way, if BP had any courage they could’ve said no to financing the fund, instead they agreed.) The editorial states:
During the worldwide Great Depression, the German Reichstag passed a law “for the relief of the German people.”
That law gave Hitler dictatorial powers that were used for things going far beyond the relief of the German people — indeed, powers that ultimately brought a rain of destruction down on the German people and on others.
If the agreement with BP was an isolated event, perhaps we might hope that it would not be a precedent. But there is nothing isolated about it.
I am so tired of this Hitler shit. I mean really. First of all, the power of the Presidency is obscene and it’s been obscene since way before Obama got into office. So far, none of those abuses of executive power have led us down the path to Nazi Germany, but they’re going to keep throwing the Hitler/Anti-Christ card out there. Whose “they?” The same people who yelled that President Bush and Dick Cheney did more to damage the Republic than any other President and Vice President before them.
Enough with the hyperbole. These Presidents have policies you don’t like. Period. End of story. Yes, there is abuse of power. Yes, at times, the Congress and the President (throughout the years) have done things that were unconstitutional. Hell, the Supreme Court of the United States subjected an entire race of people to unconstitutional racial segregation for nearly 70 years before finally overturning the “separate but equal” doctrine. There have been countless excesses and mistakes and unconstitutional actions and yet the Republic still stands. We may look like the original Star Spangled Banner, full of holes blasted into our constitution by different groups at different times, but the next morning, we’re still here. And so is your freedom. So get over it.

Jon Stewart slams Obama for not getting rid of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” piling on to the growing chorus of liberal voices unhappy with Obama’s inability to affect the social change for which he was elected. I have never seen a bigger mandate wasted than the one Obama is sitting on. He’s in real danger of the “Do Nothing” label sticking to him for good.

Daily Show: Barack Obama says he has too much on his plate to revoke the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, so it’s time for him to chow down.
Stewart to Obama: I know that you have a lot on your desk plate. But as a thin man who smokes, you may not understand the concept. All that stuff you’ve been putting on your plate? It’s f-ing show time, brother! That’s how you get things off of your plate! Now, I know you’re a man of letters. You’ve probably never been on a cruise, but you should see the amount of shit people can put on what are very average size plates. Now, after going back four or five times they might say to themselves, “I feel terrible now.” But you know what? You’re the one who went on that cruise! You’re the one that asked for seconds, thirds, fourths, finish your own fucking plate! I gotta tell you, in the cornucopia of sliced meats, shrimp, block cheese and Waldorf salad, “don’t ask don’t tell” is maybe a little bit of rice pudding right over there on the side. You can finish that before you even get back to your table. Remeber, you’re the President of America. When you’re plate gets too full, you get up and get a bigger plate, mister!

Manufactured Controversy: Obama’s Laughter
From the Huffington Post:
President Barack Obama appeared on 60 Minutes for an interview with Steve Kroft, and while the session, to the untrained eye, might have looked like a ranging and substantive interview, media figures with more discernment and savvy saw it for what it was: Obama laughing at the hardships of America, forever and ever.
And so, as the keepers of the public trust, they grimly went to work, warning America about Obama’s reckless demonstration of “emotion” and “brief levity” and “humor,” because HOW DARE HE. What sort of rat bastard President would force the cast of MSNBC’s commedia dell’arte show Morning Joe suspend their pleasing lazzi, about sex toys — the important issues of the day — to discuss his loathesome laughter! In this new video by Media Matters, you can see just how this important topic was relentlessly pursued, like the icy grip of death.
When you think about it, Obama walked right in to the media’s trap, because a man laughing, somewhere, in the world? THEIR JOURNALISM SCHOOLING COVERED THAT TOPIC, so burn.
Peabodies, for all of these people, please.
You can watch Obama’s explanation of why he was laughing in this video which shows the full 60 minutes answer, giggles and all.
