The Snow Jobs Report

By George Neumayr on 2.11.10 @ 6:09AM

The president's performance has been upgraded to "phenomenal."

Speaking to the Democratic National Committee last Saturday, Barack Obama cast himself as a victim of the American people's "frustration" rather than a cause of it. He suggested that his sagging poll numbers reflect an amorphous moodiness, not discontent with his policies.

This epiphany came through his wife, "always a good barometer," who informed him that the American people are too sour these days to take calls from pollsters happily: "she said, you know, listen, if you're the average family, if I'm a mom out there and I'm working and my husband is working but we're worried about losing our jobs, our hours have been cut back, the cost of our health care premium just went up 30 percent, the credit card company just jacked up our interest rates 39 percent, and our home value has gone down by $100,000, our 401(k) is all banged up -- and suddenly somebody calls up and says, so, how do you think President Obama is doing right now? What are they going to say? What are they going to say?"

He said the American people have "every right" to be frustrated. But not with him. What was meant to sound self-effacing quickly became self-justifying. And insulting: he is in effect accusing the American people of unjustly taking their anger out on him.

First, White House aides implied that the frustration of the American people was due to dimness: Obama's arguments are too complex and nuanced for their appreciation. Now the line is that pollsters are catching them at a bad time.

Michelle Obama offered another barometer reading to her husband this week, declaring in an ABC interview that he had performed "a phenomenal job" during his first year. The only positive jobs report that comes out of the Obama White House regards his own, and appears to get upgraded with each passing week: from a "solid B plus" to "really good" to "phenomenal."

The country was on the "brink" of depression, Michelle Obama explained, and Barack pulled it back. Apparently so much so that she can now turn her attention to a problem of plenty, not privation -- "childhood obesity." While other countries on the brink face famine, Obama's America stares down junk food.

Another pressing matter before the nation this week was the repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. Repealing it is a "matter of integrity," said Obama's generals, as Democrats who voted for that policy nodded. Liberalism never fails to build upon its own failures: so the "dishonesty" that came with Clinton opening the door a crack becomes the rationale for kicking it clean off.

Frustrated Americans clinging to their God and guns may not grasp the complexity of these avant-garde arguments. But in time, if they listen carefully enough to Obama's words, they will come around and see that a Justice Department run by the ACLU and a military infiltrated by ACT UP will keep them safe.

No claim is too fanciful for the Obama administration not to try and float at least once: whether it is saying that "green jobs" will save the economy, abolishing Don't Ask, Don't Tell will strengthen the military, or giving a jury trial to the 9/11 mastermind will boost American morale.

Let's just say it and see what happens, appears to be the attitude. The backlash on the last claim was strong enough that the White House withdrew it, but this week they tried a new tack: those who question Mirandizing terrorists are "serving the goals of Al Qaeda," said John Brennan. The Obama administration would rather not waste time on these "critics."

As Obama said in his DNC speech, Democrats "speak to the hopes of the American people instead of their fears." To parents more worried about feeding their children than making them fat, Democrats offer the hope of a campaign against childhood obesity; to out-of-work coal miners, they offer wind farm jobs of the future; to rattled Americans still reeling from a botched bombing over Detroit, they offer a more progressive military. And while Obama may have cost thousands of Americans their jobs by sending anti-business signals for a year, the unemployed can draw inspiration from his "phenomenal" one.

"Let's just say it and see what happens, appears to be the attitude."
This fits right in with his VP. Make it up as you go, Joe.

Bill| 2.11.10 @ 6:04PM

Coal - You got me thinking, why is it that all of the V.P.'s tend to be so goofy? I wonder if the Pres. looks for this to make him feel better about himself?

Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 2.11.10 @ 7:28AM

Michelle and Barack Obama are two people who are experts at hate and hate for America and, in effect, a peculiar sort of hate for the American public as evidenced by their recorded history and statements.

During the campaign Michelle pronounced her pride in America in a negative manner stating, "For the First Time in My Adult Lifetime, I'm Really Proud of My Country" That's because the country was doing what she wanted, participating in an ideological movement.

Barack Obama appears to share her sentiments to a degree when he pronounced and dismissed Americans as bitter: "And it’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

The Obamas were weaned in Jeremiah Wrights church of Hell and hate for America, and in particular, white America so the actions of the government under his purview in relation to the Black Panthers are no surprise.

They are probably being hailed as new age heros in the halls of the Justice Department, under the former lobbyist Eric Holder.

Copyleft| 2.11.10 @ 9:35AM

Yeah, I hear Obama also called unhappy taxpayers a "nation of whiners."

Oh wait, wasn't that somebody else...?

wwwexler| 2.11.10 @ 5:57PM

You've got the patent on whining, copyleftliberal reader.

Rocco| 2.11.10 @ 9:42AM

Mr. Bill, I agree wholeheartedly. This punk needs to understand that he's been in office now over a year, and HE OWNS IT NOW. No more Blame Bush, or blame us.

roadmaster| 2.11.10 @ 1:09PM

Heard on Rush this AM that there is a movement afoot to rename the New Madras fault running through Missouri to the "Bush Fault."

busbus| 2.11.10 @ 6:10PM

Can't you come up with something original? These complaints are stale! I have yet to hear either, Barack Obama or Michelle Obama say that they hate America. These spins are off the wall and outdated.

loulou| 2.11.10 @ 6:42PM

Are you so feeble-minded that you need for BO and MO to LITERALLY say that they hate America??

Look at their actions, genius.

Gentlemen,

I make the following statement as a comparison of the times and not the man:

In the last days in the Berlin Bunker, delusional followers also said the war situation was going to plan. The people who knew better remained silent planning their escape.

Regards,

WRTolkas

The Bishop| 2.11.10 @ 8:05AM

WRTolkas has drawn a more accurate parallel than most of us want to admit. Having just read through William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, I observed many features of Hitler's strategies that parallel what we've observed in the One's public pronouncements and strategies of the last couple of years or so. As case in point, Hitler delivered many "moderate" and "reasonable" speeches conveying that Germany wished only peace and rejoining the family of nations as an equal. But he was shortly to enter the Rhineland and the rest, as we say, is history. Hitler was a masterful politician who was viewed as a Messiah by many. Hmmm, where have we heard that before? I'm just sayin'...

Sammy Maudlin| 2.11.10 @ 9:30AM

Having also read Shirer's outstanding book, I could not agree more with you. History holds many valuable lessons, all of which are ignored by pseudo-intellectuals such as Barach Hussein Obama. Shirer's book should be mandatory reading at the high school level...

Al Adab| 2.11.10 @ 10:30AM

Simply put gentlemen, Beware the man on the white horse. We follow "Leaders" at our peril. Either we are a self governing nation of citizens or we become the servents of the ruling class. Let us hope there is still time to choose.

wolfgang59| 2.11.10 @ 4:47PM

Tolkas, Bishop, Sammy, and Al,
I concur with all of you wholeheartedly. I did not read Shirer's book, but I have done reseach on the Third Reich in my studies on The Holocaust. Not only is BO like Hitler in the speeches they made (all symbolism, no substance), the emotional zealotry of thier followers (women feighnting at events), and attempting to control the media.
My biggest concern is the visual imagry that both of them use(d). The recruitment of artists to portray their ideas as grand endeavors, the school children that sing songs in praise of him, and BO's biggest was the acceptance speech at Mile High stadium. It reminded me of the rally at Nurenburg and the columns of light. Geez... It gives me the creeps just thinking about it.
Keep up the independent thought and critical thinking that make this country great.
Wolfy

c. j. acworth| 2.11.10 @ 5:38PM

The fellow that O. most reminds me of is the last guy to be on the recieving end of a "Tea Party". That would be George III, who is reported to have refered to the colonists as "My deluded people." See, O. thinks we are the ones who don't get it, because we have been led astray by malicious demagouges. His motives are pure, so what is our problem? Another quote from Geo. Rex: "I only wish for the good, so those who oppose me are traitors and scoundrels."

busbus| 2.11.10 @ 6:37PM

Ironically, my view is the opposite of those who have already replied. In my opinion, it is not Barack Obama or Michelle Obama but a combination of folks: Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Mr. Tancredo, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Mr. Armey, Newt Gingrich, etal. These are the folks that bear watching. These folks have delusional followers! But again, it could be that they and all of you wish to devoid freedom of religion in America and reinstitute McCarthyism and Jim Crow laws in America. These folks are playing the game of "Divide and Conquer." Watch out! All of you might turn around and see no one left behind you just as happened in Germany.

wwwexler| 2.11.10 @ 9:00PM

Hey, braintrust, you democrats created slavery, Jim Crow laws and lynching. We Republicans STOPPED slavery by fighting the Civil War. Try reading a history book.

You're entitled to your own opinion, moron; but you're not entitled to your own facts.

Big Java| 2.11.10 @ 8:12AM

Remeber Clinton's whoopers? He and 'Hil' look like amatuers up against this twosome...

TennesseeVolunteer| 2.11.10 @ 8:18AM

Speaking of snow jobs...Chris matthews had a Democratic local politician (Cpngressman) and aliberal newsman on his show who were both from DC. His question was "why can't the current government handle the snow? The local Congressman said they should have called in FEMA but didn't because of lack of planning.
These people can't even manage a snowstorm without bringing in the Feds. Worthless.

Mattled| 2.11.10 @ 8:34AM

When I saw that Moochelle had unveiled her "Let's Move" campaign----I thought for a split second that they were moving out of the White House (Cue Jefferson's music) and wanted to just now go out and collect their bazillions coming to them after such a glorious 1 year in office.

Why wait four years? Go on out and start your library. I heard Valerie Jarrett has some excellent real estate for sale that didn't get bought due to those incompetents in Copenhagen----the Obama's and Oprah.

roadmaster| 2.11.10 @ 1:13PM

A co-worker and I sing "Movin on up" all the time, and then just laugh and laugh. Obama and wife more closely resemble characters from Sanford and Son - Lamont and Aunt Esther. and they "finally got a piece of the pie," paid for by you and me.

Becky| 2.11.10 @ 8:38AM

Orator, messenger of hope, opportunist (crisis management or manufacturer). A lot of those still independent enough and sure of their own ability to synthesize information can see where he's going.

Like others here, I like history, and find parallels to other episodes of the past. What I fail to understand is how the press allows him to get away with comments like "borrowing to increase payroll" can be considered a responsible business postition. He cannot do anything alone, he needs obedient servants, which he is starting to lose.

Another upcoming historical event will be the approach to immigration. The failure to make immigrants assimilate including using English, understanding republican government, a nation of laws, is divisive. Most foreigners who chose to move here are coming of free will because they want to join America, her values and visions.

Jim Sherlock| 2.11.10 @ 8:52AM

Of course, the corpse man in chief is doing a phenomenal job. This malaise is merely a hold-over from the Bush Administration. The masses will soon understand just how much he is doing on their behalf. By the way, does anyone really think he and Rahm and Nancy haven't hit upon the upcoming health care "summit" as a way to rope-a-dope the republicans into showing just how uncooperative they really are, so that they can proceed with plan A: reconciliation?

MTB| 2.11.10 @ 4:48PM

Ahhh! Good point, Jim.

JohnMD1022| 2.11.10 @ 9:13AM

Shorty Brobingnag| 2.11.10 @ 9:26AM

The fact that it is the fault of the American people that Obama's popularity is deserting him faster than a cat leaves a carwash, is so clearly obvious it needs no stating.

Mr. & Mrs. Obama are true democrats: They live in a lunatic's lala land. They blame the pollsters' timing for the Tatanic like sinking of the Presidencey of Barak Obama.

Timing indeed, Mr. Obama, the citizens of this once great nation see you for what you are. That is a dedicated post-colonial African Marxist who is completely and utterly incompetent. You are simplistically pursuing Marx's collectivists goals and only your radical Lunatic Leftist fringe is following you. The rest of us are almost being forced to think kindly of your predecessor in office. Now that's really painful!

pugsley | 2.11.10 @ 12:47PM

Watching the lawn jockey in action, is it any wonder why post colonial Africa is in the shape it is in?

Anthony| 2.11.10 @ 10:20AM

Shhhhhhh, don't say a word folks, apparently a real patriot has infiltrated the White House kitchen staff and has managed to get Kool-Aid on the White House menu as a staple.
Barack and Michelle, you both keep drinking the Kool-Aid, in fact, share it with Rham and David and before you know it Barack will win all 57 states in 2012.
Oh, please keep the kids away, there's hope for them.

Oldefarte| 2.11.10 @ 10:59AM

In one small aspect, she is correct----Americans' anger/frustration goes back many years, and has been building in intensity through several administrations; although it has now exploded due to the absuridity and corruption of the present administation's policies and paractices. The one and only resolution possible to solve/heal American's dissatisfactions is through the vote; and hopefully, the results of NJ, Vaginia, and Massachusetts are just a small indication of what is to come in November of 2010 and beyond. Throw the bums out and replace them with constituency-dedicated, loyal political representatives!!!!!!

loulou| 2.11.10 @ 12:48PM

And furthermore, Michelle Obama has no business lecturing ANYONE about obesity. At least obesity from the waist down.

davelnaf| 2.11.10 @ 12:49PM

As hard as it is to believe even Democrats in Congress will eventually wake up to the fact that this guy is an enormous liability to them. Just how they will take care of it will be one of the most entertaining spectacles ever to take place in the history of American politics.

Richard Baker| 2.11.10 @ 1:08PM

He and his bitchy wife need to understand, but won't, that their arrogance is not a strong and positive characteristic and has been a large reason that the country has said "No, thanks" to their insufferable preaching and finger pointing. The two of them don't exactly do reality well. The day they leave the White House will be the day that we're all awaiting. Soon!

wbheff| 2.11.10 @ 1:14PM

Obama and his fellow traitors, Reid, Pelosi, et al, represent a clear and present danger to our country.

OMG| 2.11.10 @ 2:22PM

I stumbled upon this link quite by accident. Yes, Americans are upset. The country started collapsing around them the a few years back into the total mess it has become and, in the 13 1/2 months since Obama has been in office, it's not "fixed" yet. Everyone slams Obama for at least TRYING to do something---when he is up against incredible adversity. Do you really think McCain/Palin would have been a better choice? Do you really think re-electing Bush four years ago was a good idea? How I ever stumbled into this scary wonderland of blantant Republican closed-mindedness, finger pointing and hate is beyond me. Wake up, people. He's flawed, but he is actually trying to accomplish something. He's trying to clean up a mess he did NOT create. Cut him some slack. Pay attention to what is going on in this country instead of relying on slanted views that Fox "News" and people like Rush Limbaugh readily dishout. THINK for yourselves.

Helen Donnelly| 2.11.10 @ 3:01PM

Yes, I am paying attention to what is going on in this country. We are spending ourselves into oblivion, thanks to our esteemed president. I don't need to watch Fox News or any other news outlet to see that big elephant. I'll cut him some slack when he starts making informed, intelligent decisions instead of my way or the highway, "we won - you lost" type of thinking.

NOtoobama| 2.11.10 @ 3:34PM

are you a flippin kool-aid drinking, waitin for your "free" healthcare handout that the rest of us will pay for, idiot?
Now go sit in the corner and suck your thumb.
You liberal freak.

MikeD| 2.11.10 @ 3:51PM

Where to begin... First, I don't see how you could have just 'stumbled upon this site.' Although you may be surprised, there are lots of us that go here intentionally to express our opinions and swap ideas; which is the LAST thing obama and his 'willing lackies' in the media want. (Chris Matthews: "Tingle down my leg!" Give me a break!) Frankly, most of the reason we're in this mess is that the media, in their emotional stupidity, fell in love with obama because he said what they think! They never asked any hard questions.

I was also surprised that none of the 'esteemed' morons in the media ever questioned why the democraps cheated so much, particularly in Minnesota, to steal that coveted 60th seat in the Senate. The dems have proven that they'll do ANYTHING to get their way; they don't care if their demented plans destroy the Country. Most of those who voted for obama voted because they were:

1. Stupid!
2. 'Guilted' into it by being told that voting against the 'messiah' was RACIST!
3. Union fools who were told to do it by their union steward.
4. White liberal white men who are the most pathetic group of all...they're so easily guilted, especially academics who routinely prove they know nothing of any value.
5. The kids who thought it was 'cool' to get the first 'black' prez and got to 'tweak' their elder's collective noses at the same time.
6. All those who get benefits from the government and contribute nothing.

We can quite clearly think for ourselves. We're not swayed by the nattering nabobs of the narcissistic media. We actually understand the Constitution and are not easily 'guilted' or intimidated by people like you who prove how little they know every time they open their mouths!

Obama is not 'flawed'. He is a dangerous socialist beholding to George Soros and his merry band of anti American investors who want to drive us into the ground so they can buy up the pieces cheap. Check out George Soros and the Bank of England and the English Pound on Google sometime. You might learn something. We're also all waiting to see obama's transcripts. If George Bush was so dumb, why won't obama release ANYTHING about his history? Were his grades THAT terrible? (I'm not even mentioning his legal documents and credentials which he also refuses to release; and has spennt almost $2 million to keep secret. Did you ever wonder why?)

Then, of course, where did the $630 MILLION come from that elected obama? He won't account for more than $300 million of it that came from overseas. Why not? What is he hiding? Obama was the guy who screamed the most when G.W. Bush spent $250 million on his election. Obama spent almost three times and will not reveal its sources. Why? So many questions; so little time.

njre| 2.11.10 @ 4:24PM

The usurper pair have people like you to thank for being given a free pass to be delusional! You drink the kool-aid; you can't think for yourself and fail to see what is so obvious; you think everybody else is like you relying on 'slanted views' from the lame stream media. We see through the empty suits that are the Obamas with our eyes wide open. We really feel sorry for you that you can't take your blinders off .
McCain would have meant trillions of dollars less in spending and deficits, much stronger national defense/security, many more people employed, much better economy now, no stupid healthcare deform and cap and tax, and less threats from corrupt labor unions and ACORN and commies/marxists!........

WRTolkas| 2.11.10 @ 4:25PM

Dear OMG,

Firstly, I do not listen to Rush nor Fox news; secondly I am not a Republican; thirdly I didn't and still don't like McCain nor most of the members of the Congress.

I think Obama and the democrats are dangerous. I study control-loop systems in circuit stability. This system, this government, has too many poles on the right side of the S-plane. Non-electronic speak: the system is unstable and out of control. MORE POWER just makes the situation worse. I hope that dampening the system will occur this November.

Best regards,

WRTolkas

Open your eyes!

Christopher Holland| 2.11.10 @ 7:24PM

If Obama doesn't like cleaning up a mess he never created he should have stayed in Chicago. When you volunteer to do a job, which he did, and you tell everybody how clever you are, which he loves doing, it means that the mess is yours, it no longer belongs to the previous owner. Obama is an ultralight, a whiner, a fool and a coward. He should take Harry Truman's advice - if you don't like the heat then get out of the kitchen.

stmichrick| 2.11.10 @ 2:33PM

Mr. Neumayr correctly describes the particularly high-toned shade of BS that oozes from this administration. Obama and comrades are doing a fine job of spoon feeding the base; you know, those that think that He represents a new level of insight into economics, world affairs and justice.

Fortunately for Him, the Old Media and popular culture have done an effective advance job (with little push-back) by portraying Bush and Cheyney as stupid and sub-human. For the shallow Left, hearing the issues of the day described by the administration in globalist, morally neutral verbiage comes off as novel and brilliant.

Thank modern education for not effectively teaching the history of the twentieth century and creating an electorate of saps.

Jim O'Brien| 2.11.10 @ 2:47PM

Obama has everything ass-backwards. He is copying Franklin Roosevelt, who made the Depression last a decade by increasing taxes, expanding government, and waging war against private enterprise. How to turn the economy around? Decrease taxes and shrink the government. Eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with the Fair Tax system (www.fairtax.org)

Dan| 2.11.10 @ 3:15PM

Michelle Obama thinks her husband saved us from a depression. Wait until the bills come due on all his spending !

Louis Jenkins| 2.11.10 @ 3:34PM

"First, White House aides implied that the frustration of the American people was due to dimness: Obama's arguments are too complex and nuanced for their appreciation. Now the line is that pollsters are catching them at a bad time."

Well, why not? If Americans are such a bunch of dim witted lame brains they should blame the liberal public education system. They’re just so under educated that they’ll never understand the Pretender n Chief because he’s so smart. That’s why he has to use a prompter. It helps him put his cerebral complex ideas in simple terms, after all, he is so smart his intelligence IQ is only superseded by the budget deficit. His argument that “its all Bush’s fault” is just too fact filled for country corn mush pone fed rubes to understand. Gets them every time. And that tingly feeling running up and down the legs of the masses has paralyzed their thinking process, much like electro-shock treatment for the insane. And the pollsters are catching them at a bad time? So when is the ‘good’ time going to arrive?

JJ| 2.11.10 @ 6:17PM

After he leaves office (1-term) Obama will write his pissy "events" conspired against me/America is bad book in which he blames Americans and Bush for his inability to "get stuff done." He'll carry that chip on his shoulder till his last days.

Perhaps it's best that Obama be given a steady dose of "blue pills".

Bill| 2.11.10 @ 10:26PM

OMG,
WTF are you talking about? Obama voted for TARP and according to Dodd and Axelrod was the major player in getting it passed in the Senate. Or what that a lie in order to show that he actually accomplished something in his 2 yrs there?
Ever since the Dems won the Congress in 2006 our budget deficit has increased EIGHTFOLD. Why don't you open your eyes and think for yourself? Quit being a toadie.

birther1957| 2.12.10 @ 12:24AM

Chalkdust| 2.12.10 @ 4:09AM

No really, I stumbled over this site and landed face first on the crotch of the "Huffington Post". I mean the school and public libraries I visit don't have copies of "The American Spectator" unless maybe they are in the basement with the dusty copies of the American Constitution or Declaration of Independence. Sometimes like Mr. Obama, I get them confused. Seriously folks, I don't question this man's veracity.....just his lack of active brain cell.

SJC48| 2.12.10 @ 8:34AM

His approval ratings in the tank and he's doing a phenomenal job - delusional.

sdsundevil| 2.12.10 @ 5:33PM

Wasn't is nice of him to restore 'science to it's rightful place' by de-funding the next generation Space Shuttle and allowing Russia to become a monopoly on low-Earth orbit delivery services? Hey, at least it's 'Change', right? Pretty sure I can't believe in it though.

Richard Baker| 2.13.10 @ 8:06PM

Wonder who he sees in the morning in the mirror?

Skookum| 2.15.10 @ 12:54PM

Mechelle's most disturbing comment for me was when she assured us that Bobo Numbnuts was going to rewrite history.

For Bobo it was his promise of a political civilian militia with the same funding and capabilities as our military. I suppose he would use Acorn as the template and rely on the SEIU for maintaining discipline.

The humor in all this is that he viewed himself as one of Mao's Super Heroes, but ended up as nothing more than one of Stalin's Useful Idiots. I am sure that both Stalin and Mao, if they are watching from Hell, find his inept and clueless bungling beneath contempt and at times laughable.
