Is Anyone Actually Running the Obama Campaign?

How Obamacare Rations Delivery of Health Care
Obamacare? Not impressed! Whether you live in a free-market economy or a top-down command and control communist economy, all goods and services are rationed. In the abstract, in a free-market economy, goods and services are rationed by the actions of … Continue reading →

Denial Becomes Admission
The Czar finds this shootback ad extremely effective for a lot of primal psychological reasons. It’s on YouTube, which means the more people click on it, the higher it ranks in popularity. Which means that more people will see it. … Continue reading →
There’s a word for that!
He looks pretty worked up about something, doesn’t he? He’s got a good logo, all he needs is a nifty hat and some medals. In a speech in Pueblo, Colorado 81009 (a ZIP Dr. J. knows from those ads on … Continue reading →
Bad, Bad, Ben Bernake

Obama Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks*
The Obama campaign is regrouping after the bungled speech by Obama last week where he belittled business owners and entrepreneurs and is attacking the Romney campaign for twisting the President’s words and omitting key sentences. Let’s revisit the entire quote … Continue reading →
Da Email!
GorT is clearing out a few emails that he’s received as of late. First off, Operative BG writes in regarding “the Obama Quote“: Yeah, I’m seeing lots of Obama’s defenders claiming the quote was taken out of context, that he … Continue reading →
No, But You Sure Said That
People on all points of the political spectrum seem to find something off-putting about President Obama’s “you didn’t build that” gaffe—of all the smug, stupid, petty things he’s said, this one is—so far, anyway—the biggest jaw dropper. Many people of … Continue reading →

Desperate and/or Tacky
The New York Post has a piece today describing the total flop that is the Obama campaign’s wedding registry fund-raising idea. Seriously, I think Wile E. Coyote had better ideas. Briefly put, the Obama campaign launched “The Event Registry” in … Continue reading →

Democrats’ Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Summer?

9-0 – That’s got to hurt…

Slippery Slope

The Petard Hoisting Continues
“Man, I wish June was over. And we’re barely at the halfway point.” Far be it from the Czar to quote the Washington Post favorably, but even they are calling BS on the President’s immigration announcement Friday. Right in the … Continue reading →

Obama Jeopardy, With Your Host ‘Puter Gormogon
SC: “I’ll take ‘The Rapists’ for $400, ‘Puter.” GP: “Uh, Mr. Connery? That’s ‘Public Sector Unions,’ but I can see how you’dmake that mistake.” “I’ll take Obamanomics for $200, ‘Puter.” This is how the nightmare always starts, seemingly innocent enough. … Continue reading →
Curiouser and Curiouser
The Obama Administration has clearly come to us through the looking glass. The Czar brings up, as usual, an excellent point in that when the media sees blood in the water, they, like sharks, find it hard to resist. Typically … Continue reading →
The Issues are Clear…
Do You Have A Green Job?
You might be surprised to find out, you do. Something to keep in mind when the Obama Administration touts all the “green jobs” that it has “created or saved” is how the Obama Administration is defining “green jobs”. For example, … Continue reading →
Why The Result In Wisconsin Matters

Missing The Boat
At GorT’s parish this weekend, the following editorial from the Catholic Standard is reprinted as a bulletin insert. I think it’s worth reading and pondering: Last weekend during an interview with Cardinal Wuerl on “Fox News Sunday,” the host, Chris … Continue reading →
Did They Just Score Low on Their Verbal SATs
Since it appears that the Obama Administration doesn’t understand the word “recovery” and now doesn’t appear to understand the word, “secret”, we may need to look at their vocabulary skills. When you have a classified program that is working against … Continue reading →

Jay Carney At His Best

I Don’t Think That Word Means What You Think It Means
The Obama Administration is out touting all the great jobs they’ve “created or saved”. Except that the jobs reports haven’t been that great. I’m sure someone had to tackle and duct tape Joe Biden’s mouth before he declared “Summer of … Continue reading →
Unintended Consequences
One of GorT’s beliefs is that liberals are generally short-sighted in their attempts to remedy perceived problems. In other words, they look for immediate fixes without considering what the longer term consequences are…or what the unintended consequences could be. The … Continue reading →
Transparent as a Brick Wall

Yesterday on the Fox News Special Report Online post-show broadcast, Dr. Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist by training, by the way, intimated that Obama wouldn’t replace our gaffetastic Vice President Biden with Secretary Clinton for the 2012 race. His reasoning was … Continue reading →
That Is A Tough One
This about sums it up – remember all the liberals are touting all the wonderful policies and programs that Obama led that saved the economy: GorTGorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive … Continue reading →
They Really Stepped In It
If it isn’t plainly clear, the lawsuits filed today by over 40 Catholic institutions against the U.S. Federal Government challenging the constitutionality of the HHS Mandate likely puts it in pretty stark terms. The Obama Administration seriously stepped in it … Continue reading →

Obama’s Tragic Infatuation With Incompetents

Sabotage III – Chickens coming home to roost!
So, apparently President Obama’s literary publicists were trumping him as ‘Kenya born’ in an pamphlet that they circulated promoting their authors and upcoming books. It was only changed in 2007 after he ran for office. This is absolutely hilarious because … Continue reading →

#IfIWantedAmericaToFail – I’d insure that our kids couldn’t feed themselves…

Two Points on the Treyvon case

The Earth’s Not Flat, It’s a Torus, dammit!
President Obama’s campaign is in full swing. You can tell because he is creating straw men and then openly mocking him. Apparently he thinks that this makes him look smart. In 2008, 53% of voters bought it as well, because, … Continue reading →
The President’s Precedents

The Obama Campaign Dissembles (again)
