Thanks, Obama!

NBC’s Chuck Todd on Sunday’s Meet the Press, discussing Obama’s closing remarks at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner:

It did seem, I thought his pot shots joke wise and then the serious stuff about the internet, the rise of the internet media and social media and all that stuff – he hates it. Okay? He hates this part of the media. He really thinks that the sort of the buzzification – this isn’t just about Buzzfeed or Politico and all this stuff – he thinks that sort of coverage of political media has hurt political discourse. He hates it. And I think he was trying to make that clear last night.

Noel Sheppard on Newsbusters, discussing Chuck Todd’s remarks:

Todd was likely quite correct, but chose not to disclose why Obama hates new media. It’s because most of it isn’t in the tank for this President and can’t be controlled by him.

That’s obviously not true of folks such as Todd and his colleagues in the old media who echo the current White House resident’s talking points, mercilessly attack his opponents, and cover for his missteps.

It’s therefore no wonder the President hates “the rise of the internet media and social media,” and although Todd is very active on Twitter, one thinks he also hates this rise because it’s making him and his colleagues less relevant.

Stoaty Weasel, on this blog, right now:

Thank you, Obama. If ever I falter, if ever I waiver, if ever I wonder what I’m doing down here in the ass-end of the internet drawing stuff on people’s faces and cracking dick jokes, I will remember this. I do it because you don’t like it. Because you can’t control it and it isn’t kind to you. Mine is a small, silly, anonymous ‘fuck you’ to you and the whole the ruling class, but it’s mine and it’s persistent and it’s right out in public.

Obama looks like somebody ate his puppy and so he is going to have to go to bed hungry.

Heh.

I’ll post a link to my original working file, which is bigger and in color in case anyone wants it for anything. It’s a terrific pick-me-up.

I have a dream that one day Barack Hussein Obama will be jailed & raped to death by a cock that was once sucked by Frank Marshall Davis.

heh. we ‘muricans have a long history of, and a fondness for insulting royalty. Especially the self anointed ones.

Check out the online history site for English Monarchs, lots of brothers and sisters fighting, lots of half brother pretenders. Ya, Obama fits right in half this, half that, and all tyrant (if only he could be).

But somehow Obama managed to withstand the all the burdens and ills of social media while it was getting him elected. I have every confidence that social media will bring him down. A sort of live by the digital sword, et cetera.

Stoaty—you are magnificent!

And God bless you for it, Dame Stoaty. You perform a valuable public service and I, for one, do thank you.

That’s part of why I didn’t shut down my blog entirely when I wanted to. Because its one of the last sad gasps of freedom left on earth to speak your mind on the internet. I’m not going to change anyone’s mind, I’m not going to reverse this ship, I’m not going to make a difference. I just have a voice and I’m going to use it.

Stoaty,

Yes, in the grand scheme of things, your little “fuck you” to the Obamateur is not earth-shaking. But he and his kind exist, and prosper, almost solely in a made-up world and world view. And it continues to exist, like the Emperor’s new clothes, solely because his followers and the Obama-fellating media continue to support the pretense.

So, for what it’s worth, I think EVERY time someone like you shouts, even in a small way, that the clothes aren’t real, it makes it that much harder for them to maintain their little faux world. Good on you, Madame Weasel!

Isn’t it remarkable how they delude themselves into thinking this is a post-2008 phenomenon, as though conservatives didn’t have to learn how to be course and vulgar after watching 8 years of Bush chimp pics and homicide fantasies?

Coarseness and vulgarity are the very bedrock of politics. Anybody who tells ya different is selling something.

Chris Rock once joked that OJ got off because he was famous. If he hadn’t been, nobody would have heard about “Orenthal the bus-driving murderer.”

Obama gets away with what he does because he is a celebrity. If he hadn’t been given a hand up all his life because he was “exotic,” he’d be just another pot-smoking, underachieving putz. “Hey Soetoro, hurry up with those fries!”

-sounds like a dick joke 🙂

The image reminds me of old Iron Eyes Cody, except that Cody kinda made me give a shit.

@surly. Yeah, Italian Iron Eyes Cody was a fraud, too. He was about as Native American as Dunham/Soetoro/Obama is American. Tell the lie often enough and it becomes the consensus truth, especially if it’s all emotion.

Cody was Sicilian, if memory serves (though he denied it to his dying day). And I actually looked up a screen grab of Cody to draw the tear.

A google images search for “crying indian” turns it up first hit.
