the state of my gut upon hearing that The One has formally announced the start of his campaign to spend another four years using the White House as vacation home base.
In times like these, I turn to classical writers to express my feelings:
Anyone have any GOOD news?
Filed under: 2012 Elections, Barack Obama
Sorry to be awol this weekend. The youngest had a karate tournament. She did good – got first place in her rank.
Well that’s certainly good news! Congrats to your daughter
Thanks!!! I am very impressed with her and the other 8-9 yo kids – they all had to wait all morning (until noon) to compete – just sitting there quietly around the ring for more than 2 hours. A lot to ask for from a kid.
the Karate kid..congrats..:)
Thanks!
The best news I can come up with is that he can only run for two terms.
*headdesk*
Oh, Gawd!
Well, there is some hope for change, while reading online news articles about WTF 2012, the comments are pretty brutal. None of the love slobber I remember from 2008.

Those comments do cheer me up!
WTF 2012. LOL! Too true, that and WASF 2012.
what’s WASF?
We are sooooo f’d.
Hah! I guess then it might also stand for We Are So Fracked. Thanks!
They must have been brutal – the comments were pulled.

Hmmmmm…..opened again?

Ewww….Obama announced the start of his campaign on the anniversary of MLK’s assassination.
Didn’t think about it until following your link again and seeing the date of the article today.
In my state, they are supposed to count all write-in votes, so I am going to vote in the dem primary and write-in Hillary’s name.
Samantha Power to replace Hillary as SOS ? It’s the buzz….
http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Samantha-Power-to-be-next-Secretary-of-State-119112959.html
Wasn’t she the one who called Hillary a monster? What a diplomat, not.
Yes, she was. What a nightmare.
A typical “smart” obot who thinks BO walks on water.
Power was the architect for Libya ? How’s that working out for her? heh.
Wish Hill would primary BO, would love to see her “I Told You So” song…..
Love that.
Obama stopped campaigning?
Sitting quietly is part of the dicipline as respect for your sempai.
It’s embarrassing that he’s the first candidate to announce — either he’s such a weak candidate that he needs all the lead time he can get, or he’s antsy to get back to adoring crowds since the oval office is so booring. Or both.
Oh you know it. Michelle’s already announced her new project “Supporting Military Familes” which will take her all over the country visiting bases (traditionally friendly audiences for the incumbent because they have to be). First thing I thought… and fundraisers at night! Yep on our dime. This way he can use that billion dollars to just buy votes.
I HATE that they can expense account on tax dollar money the traveling! Grrr!!!
Kind of ironic that a president who was awarded a Nobel peace prize should have a first lady who has to focus on supporting military families….
I saw this link at corrente:
SWAT team evicts Grandma and 11 children & grandkids from house of dead husband. She was making payments but Fannie Mae refused to accept it because the house was in the man’s name and he died without a will. WTF.

This article is at Michael Moore’s website – the guy who helped elect BO. Thank you very much, Mr. Moore, for another WTF moment from your president.
Trainwreck gaper alert (bring your popcorn):
Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert), writes an appallingly sexist blog post, takes it down, then has the poor judgement to engage feminist blog commenters on a different blog about it.
http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2011/03/24/scott-adams-to-mens-rights-activists-dont-bother-arguing-with-women-theyre-like-children/
Wow! That truly is popcorn worthy! It takes some ignorance to try to mansplain to feminists on thier home turf. WTF did he think would happen? Everyone will see his assessment on their reading level and say “Oops! My bad!!”
For the record, I never thought much of Dilbert because most of that shit really happens (at the places I work) and it isn’t funny. Not even a little.
Oh wait, isn’t there a talking dog or something? We never had any real talking dogs where I work. Talking dogs can be funny when they aren’t testing software.
Mansplain — that’s exactly what he tried to do. LOL.
It appears the Obamaganda is starting right out of the gate with the “you HAVE to vote for Obama otherwise the evil Republicans will take over” meme. Head up to ObamaNation: 1) Obama is an evil Republican and 2) they’re already running the show. If it were up to me I’d have a liberal option on the ballot come WTF 2012.
Compared to Obama, I think Cthulhu may actually be the lesser evil. Less deceptive, at least.
I was tempted in 2008 to get one of those bumperstickers. I’m thinking I just might go full tilt Cthulhu in 2012.
what is Cthulhu?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu
Big tentacled baddie from classic horror writer HP Lovecraft. Just the sight of it could make the human mind go insane with terror.
He’s an ancient evil entity from Lovecraft’s books. His campaign slogan is: Why vote for the lesser evil?
That’s funny. Maybe I’ll try to read all Lovecraft’s books instead of dealing with watching B0 preen thru election season.
Didn’t myiq used to put up the Cthulhu 2012 pictures?
I want a bumper sticker.
thanks for the post. I continue to be appalled by him. We got a postcard from the Obama campaign on Friday which was basically–on one entire side– a profile of ‘the one.’ This despite our constantly telling them to shove it. All hell is breaking out everywhere, but he wants the love again. I can only hope that Americans aren’t deluded again. And sexism getting worse everywhere. We do need Hillary.
Beck is predicting Hillary will run. He quotes from an LAT op-ed too about why Hillary must run….
http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/04/04/amazing-prediction-hillary-clinton-for-president-in-2012/
This is only day one of Obama’s “announcement”, this will be fun.
I wish!!!
From Beck’s mouth to God’s ears, but I doubt that the connection between the two is that tight!!
Hillary Dreaming, 2012!
Spit take! TFF, but right on.
It’s either Hillary or Cthulhu.
Hillary/Cthulu ?
[...] Where’s the HOPE? Where’s the CHANGE? [...]
beck right 92 percent of the time.:)
Is he really? *skeptical*
I watched Beck’s show once.
He was red faced and hollering, and
it almost felt like he was spraying saliva on me through the TV.
Jeezus Yuck.
I really don’t understand his popularity.
Ug. {raises head up from desk pilled with work, sees Obama’s announcement, puts head back down, hard}
It seems like a lot of people have the same reaction.
What I fail to understand is no matter how many times I relegate the Obama emails to the junk file, they still manage to slip the filter…
it just pisses me off.
If only they put that much effort into governing?
New post up.
