Obama’s Mean Streak
By Ed Lasky, American Thinker
Barack Obama seems to have a pattern of using ceremonial or stately events as opportunities to ambush and humiliate people. This behavior is un-presidential and reveals a vindictive streak that makes Richard Nixon look like Mister Rogers.
A few examples of Obama’s taking pleasure in administering public pain to others:
During the State of the Union Address, he chose to direct his ire at the justices of the Supreme Court, located in the front rows. After the Supreme Court issued a ruling in favor of the First Amendment regarding political speech, Barack Obama famously chose to dress down the black-clad justices before the entire nation — miscomprehending the law and the ruling in a fit of (un)presidential petulance. The embarrassing spectacle was prompted by a view that the court’s ruling may make it easier for opponents of the president and Democrats to make their views known to the public.
Regardless of Obama’s pique, it was wrong on so many levels that it earned a rebuke from the Supreme Court historian, who had enthusiastically voted for him. The noted historian said it "was really unusual in my mind to see the President going after the Supreme Court in such a forum." That is change for you. He predicted that justices may refuse to attend in the future because "you don’t go to be insulted. I can’t see the Justices wanting to be there and be insulted by the President."
Their appearance was a mark of respect for the government of the United States, broken into three branches but united in the goal of helping fellow Americans. Barack Obama did not reciprocate the respect — and demeaned himself (though his narcissism and his cheering section entourage would shield him from such self-reflection) and the dignity of the office by needlessly ambushing the most august institution of the land.

He is an absolute humiliation to the very office he serves. Every day I read more and more and every day, I get sicker and sicker that there doesn't seem to be a danged thing we can do to get rid of him.
He is a mentally ill individual. Very unstable. You can see the cracks really starting to show up……someone out there help us! Isn't there anyone in office with the gonads to convene an ethics panel and investigate this man? How frustrating…….
Judy, you are so correct. I don't know if this country can stand even two more years of this man. He is determined to destroy this country. He is determined to take away our freedoms. He is meeting with success. No one seems to rally up to this country's defense and take the necessary steps to get rid of him. Has he not committed enough acts that are downright treasonous? Yes he has. BUT no one says anything. They can run "Impeach Obama" petitions until hell freezes over but what does it accomplish – nothing. Each Thanksgiving and each 4th of July I wonder if it won't be the last our country will celebrate as a republic. The Republicans aren't going to change the course of this country in 2010 or 2012. Both parties are the same. Well heeled politicians whose main concern is themselves and their huge salaries. Way down the list of importance comes the welfare of this country. I believe the "every man or woman" in the street, could run this country with a whole lot more success than either the Republican or the Democratic parties.
Thousand yards and a scope…that should do the trick.
when can we start doing the target practice I am shooting almost everday but would like to see someone else do some shooting I buy powder and bulletts about every week or so getting kinda costly but the practice is helping me ,
IF I were a sniper, that 'mongrel' would be long gone and a distant memory, the country will be saved and freedom will have meaning, again!!!!
With any luck, maybe the Justices will be given the opportunity to insult the President.
For the life of me I don't understand why he hasn't been thrown out of office.There's so much out there on him, what is the problem?
That’s what you get when you have trash for a President! His arrogance toward the constitition and the Supreme Court only confirm he is not an Ameriican but a socialist and a Muslim
God, I hate this man! How much longer do we have to put up with his sorry ass? I say impeach him now!
obummer is egotist, narcissistic and doesn't like to be disagreed with. He thinks he knows it all.
The white house aayatollah is an ignoramus, the unfortunately typical product of a single parent fdamily, unsupervised, ill-bred and never taugt basic manners and decency. Hopefully the IUmpeach obama movement will progress, the Republican/Independents will win the Congress, and we can at least curb the excesses of this White House scumbag until we shall be rid of him in the 2012 elections.
I have never seen or heard a sitting president publicly bad mouth the opposition party and speak out and out lies about them the way this man does. It is so unbecoming of a president. He will be remembered as the absolute worst president we have ever elected into office. 94 days until the November elections and counting.
By Jove, I think we've got it — a word to replace the 'n' word, right out of the BIG mouth of the mongrel-in-chief, himself!!
The word is 'mongrel' and it's so simple, we should have thought of it ourselves, but hey, whatever works!!
'Don't look a gift-horse in the mouth,' isn't that the saying?? LET'S DO IT, we'll all feel so much better and don't forget where you first heard of it!!!! Don't be a mongrel!! Not the same, but close enough!!
Obama's idea of civil discourse and bipartisan agreement is just getting rid of every person and every idea opposed to his ideology. That's why he blames the other side of the aisle for not coming to the table, for being obstructionist, etc. but when it comes right down to it, he is the one who is totally inflexible, unwilling to consider any sort of compromise, happy to vastly over-reach the bounds of the executive office to push through appointments and policies he knows don't have ample congressional support. I really hate the word "bi-partisan" because it seems to be code for sitting down and shutting up. "Be bi-partisan. Vote for this bill even though it goes against all your principles, and those of the voters who elected you." Obama does want a "civil" political environment, but not in the way most people understand it. His dream come true would be to personally appoint all the senators, representatives, justices, etc. or better yet to just get rid of them all together, and then to duct tape the mouths of any dissenting citizens. Nice and quiet, just how he likes it.
WHAT IS THAT THING ODUMMY DOES WITH HIS THUMB AND INDEX FINGER???? I THINK HE MIGHT BE ROLLING A BUGER.
Betty, what is happening as to getting rid of the muslim communist in the oval office. All proceeding will have to start in the house and never think the stone face b-t-h from CA will ever let that happen This woman SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON and shot!!!!!
