Obama orders 100 troops to Uganda

By Justin Sink - 10/14/11 02:25 PM ET

President Obama said Friday that he is sending 100 U.S. troops to Uganda to aid in the fight against the Lord's Resistance Army, a band of rebels in central Africa accused of murder, rape, and kidnap during their 20-year fight against Ugandan security forces.

Resignation Interlude -- Art by Bosch Fawstin -- Text By Smitty

Bosch Fawstin

Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, over at The Other McCain, Smitty, writing from Afghanistan, [Update: Mr. Smitty is home today.] foresees the end times of Hope and Change.

Prediction:

BHO Does Not Even Complete Term, Much Less Run For Reelection

by Smitty (h/t Instapundit)

This prediction is served without malice. I feel nothing about the Commander-in-Chief, one way or the other.

1.The economy appears to be dead in the water, but are only that good if you squint and believe government figures which, unexpectedly, are later adjusted down.
2.Government actions, like those of the EPA, are inimical to economic recovery.
3.As the third year after winning the election closes, BHO’s Daily Presidential Tracking Poll remains mired in the negative teens.


Steadman

 Against those, and other equally negative inputs (Pigford), BHO will have to arrive at a means to avoid losing the election. I predict Eric Holder will be the vehicle, or, rather, dude going under the vehicle, to achieve this. The means to avoid losing in an election BHO cannot win will be to resign, Nixon style, because the integrity of the administration has been unexpectedly (did I already use that word in this post?) tarnished.
This occurs at the point where the maximal amount of cash has been squeezed from the donors. Of course. “BFD” Biden generates a bit of work for the portrait guy, and finishes out the term. It’s not as classical as OediPUTUS Wrecks, but there you have it.

[Internal links not in the original.]
Me? I say hope is for chumps. However, in my experience, Smitty is not often wrong, leaving room for some hopeychangery around Boom3. Thank you Smitty for the hope and the change and for your service.

If You've Lost The Dog Whisperer

If You've Lost The Dog Whisperer, you've lost Middle America

From Politico:

Given his experience as the "Dog Whisperer," Cesar Milan certainly knows how to keep four-legged friends in line. His major rule of dog training: Do not let the dog lead you. (See: Bo's family vacation)
"Americans who allow their dogs to walk them is one of his biggest peeves," CBS's Lesley Stahl said during her "Sunday Morning" profile of Milan. "If your dog doesn't learn how to follow, you'll never have a disciplined pet."

Well, guess who could stand to learn that lesson?

Yeah, we've noticed this before:

Kenyan Mensa Meet-Up

Noah Pollak at Contentions
reports that the White House Whiz Kidz:

. . . near the President say that, for one thing,
Obama doesn’t think that Netanyahu is very bright,
and there is no chemistry at all between the two men . . .

Kindergarten through Life; Affirmative Arrogance at work, Punahou division.
_____________________________________________________________________________

Updatery: Okay, the not bright Jewish (what's wrong with that assumption?) Netanyahu, went to high school in Pennsylvania, then, in 1967 after he graduated high school, he returned to Israel to enlist the IDF -- like any youth on the way to real manhood would. Netanyahu served as a combat soldier (where did Obama serve? Oh, yeah, as a wussy "community organizer" in wussythugsville) and Netanyahu served as a commander in the elite special forces unit of the IDF Sayert Matkal (look it up). During his community organizing military service Netanyahu participated in different operations including the hostage rescue mission from the hijacked Sabena Flight 572 in May 1972. Netanyahu was wounded during the operation. In 1972 Netanyahu left the Israeli army while at the rank of captain. 

After his community organizing military service Netanyahu returned to the United States and earned a degree from MIT. Got that? MIT -- known for lax, non-bright entrance standards -- in 1975, and an M.S. from MIT Sloan School of Management, got that? MIT in '77, and studied political science at Harvard and MIT.

Meanwhile, fatherless, motherless, really, non-Jewish, parentally-abandoned Kenyan/Kansan Barry Hussein Obama, left with his "typical white person" grandmother, was affirmative actioned through his entire sheltered, Punahou, preppy, bright, pretty-boy boy-life.


I know who I'd choose to have my back in an alley fight, or as Commander in Chief.

Palin's Book Tour Is Racist -- Says ESPN/CNN Granderson

Over at CNN/ESPN LZ Granderson thinks he received “strange looks” when he scooted over to the Mrs. Todd Palin book signing in Grand Rapids the other day. Perhaps he did get strange looks. Who can say?

We’ve all received looks here and there, I’d guess. I’ve received my own strange looks from time to time, you betcha.

Though the church ladies in the parking lot smiled plenty there were follow-up strange looks when I entered Bishop Blake’s West Angeles Cathedral over on Crenshaw Avenue in Los Angeles a few years ago. Hey, it’s a church. All are welcome to worship. And I had my reasons for being there. And I’d seen those same kinda strange looks at the Church of God in Christ on Adelphi Street in Brooklyn a few decades ago. So what? I had reason to be there too. It’s a small world anyway. Also received a strange look when I lined up to see Tom Sawyer’s cave in Hannibal, Missouri one summer. I had no children with me and a literary interest seemed insufficient to the ticket seller. I love Huck. And Jim. And Tom. And Becky. And Twain. “Yes, I’m alone, thank you. How much to tour the cave? One ticket please.” I was in Hannibal to loose the ashes of a beloved friend into the Mississippi. Rest in peace, LB. Was the dearly departed black? Why does that matter to you? Black or not he surely helped teach me to be a grateful-American. That was his only hyphenation.

Granderson has a problem with Palin’s “curious” itinerary. She’s visiting ‘overwhelmingly white” cities. Of course this 2009 Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation award for online journalism winner cannot appear to be defamatory, so he couches his own bigotry in a perfunctory declaimer:

“This is not to say I believe Sarah Palin is a racist.”

Which is, of course, exactly what he believes. Of Palin. And of those who gather to wish her well. Claiming he is is “profoundly disappointed” in her for allowing “some of the nation’s most painful wounds to be re-opened to advance her career,” Granderson uses the raaaaacism meme to advance his own career.

Which wounds, exactly, would those be?

Gotta say Granderson's right about Noblesville, Indiana. That’s one pretty whitish city. As is the whole Hamilton county. So what? But his own city?

Grand Rapids? 67.3% white.
Fort Bragg and the Army? 73% white.
In an America that is too, then, overwhelmingly whitish. 74% not non-white.

Granderson’s just gotta wait that one out. Still overwhelmingly Christian too, is America. Mrs. Palin is both.

Wonder if Granderson has any problem with Obama visiting overwhelmingly black neighborhoods? Probably not. Typical black columnist.

Granderson also invoked the Southern Poverty Law Center’s bogus stats on the recent bogus alarming bogus increase in bogus white supremacist groups. I’m not saying LZ is lazy or stoopid, or undeserving of his multiple gay awards, or merely the regularly published result of affirmative action, or stuck in an ideological superloop, no, I'm not saying any of that, but SPLC is about as indicative of reality as is the “propaganda masquerading as science” Kinsey Report.

The Other McCain included comment about SPLC in October:

'Evil is too weak a word'

"The fabulously wealthy SPLC exaggerates the scope of racism to frighten donors into opening their wallets. SPLC is nominally a public interest law firm, but it spends little on actual litigation. Instead, it uses politically skewed definitions of racism to indoctrinate children while smearing conservatives who question racial preference programs. Evil is too weak a word to describe the Southern Poverty Law Center."

-- Matthew Vadum, Capital Research Center, and author of The Southern Poverty Law Center: A Twisted Definition of "Hate" (PDF)

Too bad about all those “frustrated white people” Granderson spots gathering to pay their cheerful respects to the heroic Mrs. Todd Palin. They seem to bring out the frustration in liberal whiners.

It's a deep disorder, that frustration. Can’t blame the melanin or the dreadlocks for that.

Iran -- Obambi -- Speaking Truth To Stupid

You, yes even you, are too intelligent to ignore the occasional truth.

Profiles in Courage
J. E. DYER - 10.12.2009 - 5:30 PM
The editors of the Wall Street Journal and [surprisingly, even that Obama-protecting rag] the Washington Post suggest that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize should have gone to Iran’s imprisoned and battered reform protesters (specifically, said the Post [that Obama-apologist rag], to Neda Agha-Soltan) instead of to Barack Obama.
Both op-eds focus on the encouragement such an award would have been for the cause of political reform in Iran; the Journal also speculates that a Nobel might have made a difference to the fate of the three Iranian dissidents sentenced to death over the weekend for their participation in the post-election protests.

Only brought up that Nobel joke again because of the kool-ade drinkers over at Post and their odd, late, uncharacteristic, welcome mention of Neda Agha-Soltan.

Rest In Peace,
Neda Agha-Soltan.

Seems like you were
a Community Organizer
who actually acted.
Rather than one who
merely talked talked talked
talked talked talked --
and oh, yeah, talked
and chose to love the demonic
Jeremiah Wright, making him
your surrogate daddy.

Too bad you were in Iran,
Neda Agha-Soltan,
rather than the south side of Chicago.
That geographical anomaly
renders you dead rather than
roaming the halls of the mighty.

A Nobel Peace Prize means never having to explain your lack of interest in human rights.

Obamamometer, Oh My

David's playing What If over in the Corner:

What if a guy nobody's ever heard of, from Hawaii no less, with a Muslim African father and a Muslim Indonesian stepfather and a mom from Kansas named Stanley inexplicably glides from Punahou to a short sheep-dip at Occidental to the Frankfurt School's favorite Ivy League haunt, Columbia, to Harvard Law? What if he's such an arrogant, aloof suckup of no particular ability or accomplishment that his fellow students openly ridicule him with the invention of the "Obamamometer," which measures epic brown-nosing on a scale from one to ten? What if he's blissfully unaware of his own deficiencies, and instead comes to believe that he's earned everything that's come his way — or ever will?

"Art" Interlude -- Ed Ruscha

Yes, according to the NYTimes, no, this is not a joke, LaObamas have this hanging in the White House.



[T]he collection is also not without humor. Another contemporary work chosen by the Obamas is a word painting by the California artist Ed Ruscha. Called “I Think I’ll ... ” it deals with the subject of indecision. The work depicts a brilliant red sunset against which Mr. Ruscha has painted phrases like “Maybe ... Yes ... ” and “Maybe ... No ... ” and “On Second Thought.”

As if we needed art to buttress the dithering already going on over there.
Got rid of that Churchill bust muy pronto though.

Their Fascinating Selves -- Two Obamas

Courtesy of the Red White and Blue.
Yeah,(I) know this is yesterday's news, but (I) keep rereading Will from yesterday's news. Here's Will:

In the 41 sentences of her remarks, Michelle Obama used some form of the personal pronouns "I" or "me" 44 times. Her husband was, comparatively, a shrinking violet, using those pronouns only 26 times in 48 sentences. Still, 70 times in 89 sentences conveyed the message that somehow their fascinating selves were what made, or should have made, Chicago's case compelling.

Once in the long ago time (I) received a letter from college pal Chris Packard and he ended it with "If I cross my eyes and look at what I just wrote all I see on the page are I ME ME I."

Heh. That observation taught (me) plenty.
Now, lacking in all gaseous rhetoric,
here's a real man:
