“Anybody want to go hunting?” Dick Cheney
For a “cool dude” candidate, our President has amazingly poor governing instincts. He’s so toxic,
even his dog won’t lick him. Previously lock-stepped Democrats are blasting Dear Leader in person
and on camera.
Yesterday, in a pique of frustration, after strutting under Dear Leader’s destructions—I mean
instructions, Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln blasted the “Won” in public. She’s desperate to
slice into her double digit poll deficit so she can keep her job come November.
This problem has intensified since Downtown Scottie Brown nailed a three-pointer at the buzzer on
Obama’s super majority in the senate, just in time to save us from some of the most hated legislation
in American history: Obamacare. The lessons of Republican and newest US and Massachusetts
Senator Scott Brown have sunk in with Democrat congressional contenders like a Trojan virus in a
computer.
Hear about the new Vegas casino that caters to seniors?
It’s called Seizure’s Palace
Last August, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel called fellow Dems “F*&%@ing retards.” In conjunction
with Dear Leader’s degradation of Special Olympians (as in he bowled like one), we are now into a
race of political self-destruction we thought was the specialty of Joe Biden.
Who knew?
In another example of Obama’s off-teleprompter remarks, he erected an electric fence around Lost
Vegas. His advice for the American people to stay away from the glitter city are now plural, but
with a high chance of growth. You’d think a leader like Obama who likes to double-down, with our
money, would love Vegas.
Unlike the first time around, apologies are not being accepted. As Democratic long-time Vegas
Mayor Oscar Goodman observed about our Hahvad educated Dear Leader, “This President is a real
slow learner.” He went on to insist, “I want the President to straighten this out. Otherwise he’s not
welcome in my city.”
One benefit is we may be saying, “Hasta la vista, Harry,” as voters vault Reid back to the Nevada
tumbleweeds from which he arose.
Want more?
Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein asked all four heads of the
intelligence agencies, “What is the likelihood of an attempted terrorist attack on the US Homeland in
the next three to six months?” Both the head of the CIA Leon Panetta and the Intel Director Dennis
Blair testified it was a “certainty.”
So under what foggy leftist illogical lunacy, AG Eric Holder and President Obama, can you
Mirandize a man who thought it so important to kill hundreds of innocent Americans that he would
willfully blow up his genitals in order to carry out his concept of religious sainthood? He should
have been turned over to the military--stat and damn your social snobbery and your Islamist terrorist
appeasing! Didn’t you learn enough from the Fort Hood Jihad murders?
How clueless to think that immediate death and destruction of hundreds and maybe thousands of
Americans in a mass attack on US soil and you’d still be talking about Obamacare and crap and tax as
if they are more important to the American people.
Further, President Obama, next time you get that terrorist attack call and you’re on the golf course,
remember this: YOU aspired for and now OCCUPY the highest job arguably in the world. It may
require you to buzz out of your Nassau for a few holes. I say this as a golfer, yet one who has been
called off the course for much lesser emergencies.
Where is Hillary and her answering of the 3:00 AM phone call when we need it? (Course we’d all
know that was from or about her carousing husband.) The point is she’d answer it. She doesn’t
PLAY GOLF.
WE’RE IN DANGER AND WE HIRED YOU SCHMUCKS TO PROTECT US, NOT CARRY
OUT YOUR HAHVAD THESIS! HOW MANY MURDERED AMERICAN MEN WOMEN AND
CHILDREN ARE YOU WILLING TO STAND ATOP TO EARN AN “A”FROM SOME
IDIOTIC SOCIALIST PROFESSOR?

You go David.............classic line:
"You'd think a leader like Obama who likes to double-down, with our money, would love Vegas. "
Classic. You'd think he were aiming to clear out Sin City so he could have the whole place to
himself...............just like he's doing to this country.! With him and his cronies.

Frank Krischanowski
Thanks for the funny but too often all too true joke regarding our (men’s) inability to please
women regardless. Second, the likes of you had better watch out or Dear Leader will have you
joining the ranks of us lesser peasants in the re-education camp rice fields.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Thanks for the heads-up Frank.
Think about the songs we can sing around the campfires.

He has three more years. He has the bully pulpit and he really likes to bully and to "bull."
He also has the bully key to the Treasury and can try to bribe anyone he wants to. He still has the
veto power, but with Democrats in power he is probably reluctant to use it since it would likely
offend his left wing liberal base. Ducks don't ever walk very well, but a lame duck would waddle
even more. I hope for a lot ot lame duckness for nearly everything he wants to do is wrong and bad
for the United States.
Dr. Dick
May I put in my two cents worth, now worth less then one cent as my 94th. year takes off?
When Obama first appeared on the scene in January 2008, I believed I was seeing an immature
narcissistic boy, mesmerized by his melodious voice and appearance of supreme confidence
typical of spoiled boyhood. I speak from years as a urologic surgeon pioneering the new sub
specialty of Pediatric Urology. made possible by a curious affinity for the very young and the
games they, and I, can play
Initially I hoped for the best, and was a little surprised that some many fellow citizens were
sharing his intents, not recognizing that these "intents" to be successful required the lessons of
maturity.
So, today, we still see the Boy continuing to delude himself and others as he promises "changes"
and then neglects these as a new "promise" appears. Typical of a Boy experimenting, he "dithers"
or ponders, waiting for his handlers(Regents) to determine his next move.No, he is not a socialist
or leftist in philosophy. He is simply still the Boy, having not been schooled in arts of judgement
making, common sense, and the possibility that he is not always entirely "right". His "handlers"
have insulated him with their hand picked "czars" responsible only to him. Thus the show goes
on. Is their hope? It's marginal I am coming top believe, his protective emotional shield is so
effective. What appears to be a suavity and assured confidence is nothing more than the continuity
of his boyhood.
I don't mean this to be a judgement, but an ingredient to be thrown in the mix as we try to work
out a future consistent with our laws and the freedoms they provide. As a medic with “corpsmen”
on Iwo, last nite as he repeated “Corpseman” three times, it just reenforced my message his
Boyood communication is just one way....Nuff said.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Interesting critique, Doc.
Glen
Most excellent!!!
Do you think O’Bama knows how to say “CORPS”, yet. But he is loved by the Aravi-dirty
knees! I think he’s giving the schmucks of the world a bad name.
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Thanks for commenting, Glen.
BB
I'll tell you something, if this situation wasn't so serious, it would be funny!! This administration
& dems are the biggest joke of my lifetime!! Almost everyday they do something, or say
something that is rediculous. I dont know how anybody can say that bo. is smart. The rest of the
dems are just plain ignorant!
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Wish you’d say what you really think! Thanks for the comments, BB.
Mephisto
Blanche Lincoln is losing and that's why she's tacking to the right. If she fools enough of her
constituents and gets reelected, she'll tack back left. She's a leftist loser, so vote her out and get
someone in there who has core conservative principles.
I don't know where this administration got the mantle of being the "best and brightest" but, as far
as I'm concerned, they are "dumb and dumber".
"Dumbo" has to be the stupidest person to ever be elected president, and that's saying something
when comparing him to Jimmy Carter. "Plugs" Biden is a moron and the Emmanual brothers are
pure evil.
The only reason Oscar Goodman is still alive is that he knows where all the bodies are buried.
Harry Reid is such a screw-up that he had the "alleged" bomb placed under his car in a feeble
attempt to draw attention to himself as a major player in Nevada politics.
Had the mob wanted Harry Reid dead, we'd be referring to him in the past tense and there
wouldn't be any more Reid's in politics now screwing up Nevada's economy.
Have we gotten so numbed to stupidity that we actually think the Clinton's would be a better
alternative to "Pinnochio" and his cronies?

Dear Meph,
Thanks for the comments! Do Vegas bartenders know more than the cabbies?

Dave, I am as ANGRY as you are, and we will not take it anymore. Where
do we start, how soon???? Hopefully, Town Hall Meetings will mushroom
all over our country, and we will take back our government and country
before Nov.......Best Wishes to us All.......
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Muriel,
It began with the tea parties, continues with town halls and is having its
effects on elections. My biggest concern is Obama interfering with
elections.

"Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel " pick
up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the
promised land".
Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, " Lay down your
shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised
land".
Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of
camels and mortgaged the promised land!
I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the
economy, the wars, lost jobs, Savings,
Social Security, retirement funds, etc . . . I called Lifeline.
Got a freakin' call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal.
They all got excited and asked if I could drive a truck...."

It also exposes the true integrity of fellow players.NO cheating on
the score.

I was called off the course only once in my life because of an emergency. I was so upset,
apparently, that I forgot my clubs. That was one of those "precious moments" in my wife's list
of things that I did that made her love me so much. She had to go to the hospital for some reason
or another. When she mentions it, I just smile. I was a very avid golfer. Carried a two handicap
most of my life. So, leaving the course for any reason, to me, was an emergency. To this day,
I'm afraid to ask her why she had to go to the hospital. I can't remember. :)
Dave Weinbaum replies:
Dear, Billy,
Never got the handicap below 15, but I LOVE the game.
YOU were good!
I knew a golfer who was so unlucky that when they went to bury him, he lipped out.
Golf: It’s the hole thing.
Billy Back
I've read some of your golf jokes, before. Dave. Funny. I played every day. Too much.
Haven't touched a club in a couple of years. Still keep them around in the even that this old age
thing goes away.

Hey Dave!
Went to spend an"Evening with Glen Beck "in St. Louis last night. (Thought I saw you there or

Now he is asking for Bi-partisan support for health care reform. That is just a trap for him to shift
