And here, in a wonderful column, Rich Lowry nails the real Obama: a speechifying poseur.

"Poseur"? "Poseur"!?!

Evidently Mr Hillyer feels the English language is too impoverished for the subtly and complexity of his ideas.

And to what language does this anti-American traitor turn?

French.

French! Those socialist, faggot, frog-eating cowards that screwed us over when God told Bush to go to war in Iraq!

I'm beginning to question Mr Hillyer's loyalty.

Could it be he represents the Vichy vanguard of a New French World Order?

Oldefarte| 5.22.09 @ 11:59AM

Rich's portrayal is dead-center! In a word, Obama is narcissistic. Additionally, he inexperienced and naive, but wasn't that his discription prior to 11/4/08? The ultimate question is WHY IS HE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and that I cannot answer????

Oldefarte| 5.22.09 @ 12:06PM

Loyalty to WHAT and to WHOM, Murphy? Communism, socialism, the Koran, UBL, Chevez, Castro,Jackson, Acorn,Conyers, and of course, HIS MAJISTY----who/what else would you have us all become loyal to??????

Murphy| 5.22.09 @ 12:09PM

Oldefarte --

You're defending him, which means you're one of THEM.

The communist fascists that are infiltrating this country.

They're everywhere. I found one in my sock drawer this morning, sharpening his fangs.

I always knew you were an enemy. Hang out with any terrorists lately, Fart?

Murphy| 5.22.09 @ 12:13PM

I'll take my cheeseburger with Freedom Fries, thank you very much!

None of your French socialist goddamn communist fascist terrorist-sympathizing fries.

Oldefarte| 5.22.09 @ 12:16PM

Murphy, try not to so drastically indicate your stupidity, and your lack of humor. Obviously you and Keith Olbermann would no doubt get along famously!!!

Mary| 5.22.09 @ 12:18PM

Jeremiah,

You should be ashamed of yourself! This, following your exit as Tom Paine. This?

I don't think you're dishonest because you leave hints: you cited the guillotine favorably in one of your comments before you became Tom Paine. Perhaps it was hyperbole? You're a Mc; and now you're Murphy.

You're bottom-feeding with this kind of dishonesty. What kind of a Roman Catholic are you, that you engage in this kind of deception?

You need help because you can't stay away from those you despise and consider your inferiors. Everyone knows it's you.

Repent and lead by example!

As president, Barack Obama is, defacto, the greatest politician of the time. This talent was on full display yesterday and he deserves our grudging respect as both an orator and a master debater .

Old Texican| 5.22.09 @ 12:44PM

Tim
If you define "politician" as the consumate liar, you are exactly correct. (Grin)

Tim| 5.22.09 @ 12:52PM

Tex
You say that like it's a bad thing...

BD57| 5.22.09 @ 1:27PM

President Obama is better at saying nothing than any other politician on the scene today. He offers misleading characterizations of his opponents, slanders the mischaracterization and does it all so "reasonably" that no one will call him on it. It is an extraordinary political talent.

Does very little good for the nation ...

Old Texican| 5.22.09 @ 1:51PM

Tim...
All kidding aside, IF we ever do have a legitimate election again in this country...CHARACTER is going to be THE issue...Repub or Demo.

Some thirty million voters DIDN'T last November.
Shame on them and shame on us.

Tim| 5.22.09 @ 2:12PM

Can't argue with that.
The irony of made up ACORN voters "voting" while real voters stay home is painful. I wonder if it is possible to compare the turnout of ACORN registered voters with self registered voters. I would not be surprised if you got numbers like 99% versus 43%.

Murphy| 5.22.09 @ 3:18PM

I have to go now. I need to take my prozac and go back to my cell. They only allow me 15 minutes on the internet and I have an important meeting with General DeGaulle tomorrow.

Ran| 5.22.09 @ 4:12PM

FRENCH? What, the guys who took out Somali pirates before we had the balls to see that it needed to be done? Those French?

Maudit! But everything Obama says has a half-life, a stale date or a Dewey Decimal code under "Fiction."

While we're on the poseur idea... How 'bout a genuine birth certificate? Just a quick peek! Promise cross-my-heart to give it right back.

Mary| 5.22.09 @ 5:07PM

Good to hear.

Please tell the Cross of Lorraine that General Eisenhower and Madame Belle Monde send their regards.

Basil Plumley| 5.22.09 @ 11:12PM

@Mary

Ran is right; you are a keeper.

I don't think Murphy is Jeremiah/Tommy Pain. Murphy reminds me of jharp or interloper.
You remember jharp who likes to dress up as a woman to reach his/her/its feminine side.
Of course, how can anyone forget the insane screeds of interloper who seems to have spent some time in a cell for child molestation.

Also MIA from lefty posting is Bob (is he embarking on a new{ahem, another} personality?).

Of course, if it is Jeremiah, he has changed not only his handle but his MO. Well, the lying remains consistent.

@ Tim

If you get rid of the "de" in the words of your post, you would be correct.
