We look forward to an election year May Day contest next year. If you can't wait that long, you can alway grab a hat at CommieObama.com!
This was good practice for us. Someday soon we'll have an 827-day wait for an MRI screening or an appointment with a cancer specialist.
This shows Obama's dedication to the military. If you'll recall, he took a mere 72 days to return Gen. McCrystal's phone call in 2009. Our Dear Leader's priorities are proper and he should be commended.
And don't get us started in praising Obama for his interest in our nation's oil supply. It took a scant 50 days for him to respond to the BP oil spill in the gulf. This leadership is why we're paying so little at the pump today!
An Ushanka Tip goes out to Rush Limbaugh, who warned in 2009 that this birther issue could be a trap. We followed his lead and only mentioned it once in passing. Rush Limbaugh knows these liberalsprogressives communists like he knows every square inch of his naked glor..... never mind.
Another Ushanka Tip to Donald Trump. He did what no other person could do, and he did it with style. Here he is taking credit in only a way the Donald could do:
With the release of President Obama's long form birth certificate earlier today, naturally the lunatic, racist fringe—also known as a huge chunk of the Republican Party—are hanging their heads in shame for the false claims they've been making.
Refreshing. It is so nice to not hear them complaining for a change. Change? It's Change! Change you can believe in.... after waiting 827 days.
UPDATE 1:20pm
Headline at The Daily Caller. Don't you just love the new media??
UPDATE & BUMP 5:15pm: 827 Days, AND COUNTING!
According to the awesome Ann Barnhardt, this story isn't over yet.
Karl Denninger at MarketTicker.org knows his Adobe Illustrator and has discovered some interesting facts about the PDF file shared by the White House. The image has been altered!
Mother's "occupation" - the "Non" on "None" has been altered. What was there before it was tampered with? --- The "Accepted date" (bottom right) has been altered. What was there before it was tampered with? --- As has the other "Accepted" date. What was there before it was tampered with? --- There's another problem with those dates too - they're clearly altered --- By the way, they were dumb enough to leave the cuts in the clipboard too. --- Now this does not prove that the alterations were actual changes in content. They might not be.
But..... what other reason is there to alter an alleged high-resolution photograph?
Click over to see the screenshots and his other comments.
Just five alterations. Time to contribute to our Obama Cuss Jar....
Hope & Change: "I HOPE nobody finds out I'm a lying commie bastard," and "Let's just CHANGE this thing here, that thing there in my official birth certificate."
UPDATE 5:35pm
Debbie Schlussel has another image expert's opinion, and her $0.02:
I still say, the real solid evidence of fakery is his phony Selective Service Registration document on file with the feds. That’s evidence that the Prez either was in on or knew about a forgery of federal documents in 2008 and lied about it in various television interviews.
I can emphatically tell you that this document is not merely a scan of a document that has been uploaded to the internet. This is a document that has been either put together or taken apart prior to the upload, and even Charles Johnson would have to admit that.
After downloading the document that Whitehouse.gov made available to the public I opened the file in illustrator and the file is indeed in layers, which cannot happen unless the document was edited.
Furthermore, what is layered and the method of the layering is peculiar. --- I was never an ardent “birther” before, but I think I am now. This must be explained (frankly, I don’t think it can be) and I would expect that progressives with an ounce of integrity would want the same.
UPDATED & BUMPED 11:15pm:
And so it starts. Seen on the Yahoo home page - link:
So what's fueling the dogged questioning of Obama's origins? Many critics of the birther movement say its core tenets--and its stubborn resistance to evidence disproving those beliefs--can be traced to racial hostilities. The fundamental birtherist conviction, these critics say, is that an African-American can't have legitimately won the presidency--and that his elevation to power therefore has to be the result of an elaborate subterfuge.
"There is a real deep-seated and vicious racism at work here in terms of trying to de-legitimate the president," Peniel Joseph, a professor of history at Tufts University, told The Ticket.
Actually, professor Joseph, we are just sitting back and watching him 'de-legitimate' himself. It would be fun, but the stakes are too damn high to laugh. Imagine losing tenure. That is sort of how we feel about losing our country.
Every point under par get is given to players who go over par.
If a player is still under par after all points are redistributed that player is banned from the league until they adjust their level of skill to no longer be so excessive
If he so chooses, President Obama is allowed to keep his points under par
Ha!

Found this at IOTW. Will the golf club be the symbol to represent those horrible Obama years, or will the hammer and sickle?
We'd prefer the funnier, and less lethal, of the two symbols.
Two respected bloggers are calling Obama a Fascist today.
Trevor Loudon at NewZeal and Van Helsing at Moonbattery are writing on the same subject: the Obama administration is refusing to buy drugs from a company whose CEO is Howard Soloman.
As we've shown, those who argue Obama is not a socialist rarely offer a definition of Socialism. When they do, their definition is just plain wrong. Just click the "Not a Socialist" label at the bottom of this post to see.
Unlike those Obama sycophants, Mr.'s Loudon and Helsing define Fascism. They then defend their claim that Obama is indeed a Fascist, at least in this specific case.
The Department of Health and Human Services this month notified Howard Solomon of Forest Laboratories Inc. that it intends to exclude him from doing business with the federal government. This, in turn, could prevent Forest from selling its drugs to Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Administration. If the government implements its ban, Forest would have to dump Mr. Solomon, now 83 years old, in order to protect its corporate revenue. No drug company, large or small, can afford to lose out on sales to the federal government, a major customer.
What did Mr. Solomon do?
The Forest case has its origins in an investigation into the company's marketing of its big-selling antidepressants Celexa and Lexapro. Last September, Forest made a plea agreement with the government, under which it is paying $313 million in criminal and civil penalties over sales-related misconduct.
A federal court made the deal final in March. Forest Labs representatives said they were shocked when the intent-to-ban notice was received a few weeks later, because Mr. Solomon wasn't accused by the government of misconduct.
Van Helsing:
Obama may be a communist by upbringing and inclination, but at this point his "fundamental transformation of America" more closely resembles fascism. Under communism, the government directly owns everything, and everyone works for it, essentially as a slave. In subtle contrast, fascism allows for ostensibly private concerns that in reality are run by the government.
Trevor Loudon:
What is it called when the government decrees who will be the CEO of a private corporation?
Fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
Should we have made Obama swastika arm bands instead of the Commie Obama hat? Or, is this just an early step toward the communist utopia the hard left dreams of every night?
We are big Glenn Beck fans. He owns our Commie Obama hat and wore it a couple times on his CNN show. That was cool!
We don't watch many of his shows. We don't watch anybody else's show, ever. Glenn sets the standard for research, presentation, and love of country. Nobody else comes close on any of those fronts.
He is also the only host who is consistent in both sounding like a loon and being right in every story and prediction. He's twice the man Ed Schultz or Rachel Maddow will ever be.
Tonight's episode deserves your attention. With no further comment:
BigGovernment released two videos of two Missouri University classes in "Labor Studies".
Notice the lack of any discussion of "labor" and the constant theme of violence, intimidation and government overthrow.
These union enthusiasts should remember Ronald Reagan killed the biggest union - the Soviet Union. But if they forget, no worries. We'll always be here to remind them.
These union enthusiasts should discuss the constant decline of union membership in the US. They discuss the overthrow of the US yet the few remaining union jobs are in government. How's that going to work?
These union enthusiasts should step away from the computers and the video-conferencing equipment, out of the air conditioning and from under the water-proof roof, discard their levi jeans and nike shoes and go sit in the woods for this discussion. Their CO2 would help the surrounding trees and be their first (and only) contribution to this planet and to society.
Found at NiceDeb. She has a larger post on the subject, where she asks:
And why do they keep talking (right out in the open) about violent revolution? Is it because they know they have a fellow traveler in the White House?
This concept is DOA with Obama and the Democrat Party. Guess why:
a) Thorium will burn through the earth's crust and kill rare species of cockroaches that have yet to be discovered. b) Native American Indians would disapprove as it has nothing to do with the sun, wind, or rivers. c) Obama didn't think of it first. d) Thorium would produce unlimited energy for capitalists, who in turn would profit from innovation and the production of new services, products and technologies. e) All of the above. f) Another reason (post in comments)
On the bright side, Stalin would just send this internal enemy to a death camp.
This one stands out to us, as it demonstrate's a commie's attitude toward justice and a functioning judicial system.
3. “To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary … These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution!”
Elana Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg beware. You're a means to an end. You'll only retain your posts until you are no longer necessary.
Danny, the Commissar of Leninade, sent us this video. It has a favorite song of his that came out shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Song title: Do Not Play the Fool America.
We don't speak the language. Can anyone help translate?
