Inaugurating President Chamberlain
National Review Online, by Roger Kimball

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 1/21/2013 10:46:05 PM

Obama’s speech: Very long on gaseous generalities; exiguous with details. “Par for the course,” you say. Yes and no. Yes, an inaugural speech is intended to set the tone for an administration rather than spell out in detail a policy program. I appreciated, as must every American of good will, his promise that his oath of office was before “God and country, not party or faction.” I wish I could believe it. Most leftist commentators I’ve checked in on have regarded the speech as they regard Barack Obama, as a consummate example of “pragmatism.”

Chamberlain was a naive useful idiot who ultimately saw the light. Obama is in league with our jihadist enemies. A traitor.

There used to be a penalty to be paid for that.

Yeah, BO is a terrorist who never solves any problems, because he doesn´t want to land the plane. Just crash it into something hard. That´s why he borrows with abandon; counsels that spending is the key; demonizes all who propose a more prudent way. Today we found out that Stinky the Gunrunner provided the weapons for the Algerian massacre via Libya. Mexico, Libya, Syria, and now Mali. And like a good gunrunner, Stinky tried to profit from both sides of the conflict by charging the French to haul their troops. Heard this before? Of course you have.

Obama is the closest thing to a potential dictator in the Oval Office in all American history. He definitely fits the profile. Obama and Hitler could be related they have so much in common.

A good catch. There is no way the "peace in our time" phrase was not intentional. Obama is signaling to freedom´s Islamist enemies that he is Chamberlain, not Churchill. But didn´t they already know that?

#6, they may realize he´s on their side, but they hate him anyway! I wonder about that ´private´ swearing in Sunday. I imagine him swearing eternal loyalty to Allah, Mao, the prophet Muhammad, etc, on a Koran once owned by Osama himself. And oh yeah, instead of "So help me God", I imagine he said "So help me, Me!" [like George Burns in Oh, God]

In his speech, he told us that he would fundamentally transform our country to his liking despite anything the Constitution says.

Tis hard to discern the basis of Roosevelt´s dislike foe Joe Kennedy. Yes, Joe Kennedy was an isolationist, but so was Charles Lindberg. I suspect FDR´s dislike of old Joe was his potential foe being a political rival. As for the ´Bamster, I think he is trying to insulate himself from a serious case of karma that is going to explode on his second watch.

Obama is so fundamentally wrong in his thinking. I am astounded that he has the guts to say what he does, but when your whole life you have had people telling you how wonderful you are and then without any real qualifications or accomplishments you rise to the highest office in the land, apparently he is as gullible as the rest of the wacky left are. It must be something in their DNA because they believe the most absurd and easily rebutted political philosophy to come down the pike. They care nothing for facts. It all comes down to how they "feel" and people can get very passionate about their feelings. The RNC needs to produce short hip clever 30 second spots on TV and use social media to try and educate those who think and do what they are told. Once the pain hits, and it will, they will be more open to listen. The RNC desperately needs needs some new blood when it comes to reaching the Obama voters. They expect nasty and stubborn but they don´t expect anything effective. Humor with bite and truth will make them squeal. We have to beat them at their own game. Please, I am begging the Republicans think outside the box or Obama´s dreams of his father will become reality.

Aarghhh!!!
It was Richard Nixon. "Peace in our time, and in our children´s time." Much more recent than Chamberlain.
Obama is remarkably Nixonian in many ways. His making (and then breaking) promises. His excessive desire for pomp and ceremony. His coterie of crooked advisors.
Now the question: what will cause the collapse? Benghazi? Fast and Furious? Somalia? Syria? Blagoievich and the Senate seat sale? Where is the Zippy Whitewater? Or maybe the payoff to Rev. Wright?
So many cans of worms. So little time.

Stay tuned, folks.
It is going to be a rough ride.

When I heard that phrase yesterday, I said "Neville Obama".

“Peace in our time,” the president said, “requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.”

The problem with the Left´s "tolerance" and "opportunity" is that it´s always for evil. Human dignity cannot come from that, but, justice will come one day for those who do evil and those who do right.

Yes what Obama is doing to the country real time makes it hard to watch him under any circumstances. Why rub it in? If one does watch, get the foam tv brick ready. The amazing aspect is the royal treatment he got even though he has numerous scandals on his record. You suck and full steam ahead!

If you want to get under a liberal´s skin, when they say things like the economy is better under Obama, just mention the credit downgrade and it being the first under any president; they get livid and blame it on pubs. Bringing up the execution style killing of the gay members of his church such as Young also sets them off, when libs mention how he´s on the rainbow people´s side. More so if one posts the link about Young´s mother(former cop) speaking out to say Obama had it done to protect his reputation pre-election.

I opened up on the libs like a Vulcan cannon on the 21st. I wanted it on record on inauguration day just why this man doesn´t deserve another term.

#19 - brilliant! We can all call to mind the photographs of Obama with a flunky holding the Imperial Bumbershoot over Caesar Obama´s Imperial Cranium.

As for the rest -- Obama seems to be a practitioner of the Inverted Truth. We all know, for example, that when he talks about "civility" he means to ramp up his partisan nastiness. If he says, "Peace in Our Time" he really means he intends to embroil us in conflict, defeat, and humiliation abroad. In other words, just take anything he says, invert the meaning, and you will have his real meaning.

Foreign policy is just that annoying little thing that occasionally takes Obama´s attention away from primary job of "fundamentally transforming" America.

He´s an empty suit, and the gangsters that run our government have (at least) another four years of robbing our future in order to bestow favors on their supporters. It´s simply the Mafia in less flashy suits.

I dug this out in absolutely fabulous Martin Amis´s book: Koba the Dread: laughter and the twenty million. This is the quote:
[..] is unhappy at not being able to convince everyone, himself included that he is greater than everyone; and this unhappiness of his may be his most human trait, perhaps the only human trait in him. But what is not human, but rather something devilish, is that because of this unhappiness he cannot help taking revenge on people, on all people but especially those who are in any way better or higher than he.
Whose name is in braces? Stalin´s - that´s what his party comrade Bukharin said about him in 1936. In 1938 he was killed by stalin.
Sound familiar?

Finally someone sees that history is repeating itself! I´ve been posting here for weeks that it is 1938 again. However, I never thought to compare Obama to Neville Chamberlain, but it works.

Like #4 I agree that: "Obama is the closest thing to a potential dictator in the Oval Office in all American history."

And as #2 says:"Obama is in league with our jihadist enemies. A traitor.
There used to be a penalty to be paid for that."

I hope the NRA membership grows by millions everyday. That, at least, would give me hope that Americans aren´t going to buy Obama´s schict.

A recent post told that Obama has read about 700 teleprompter speeches since he became president. I for one am so damn sick of hearing his voice, day after miserable day, that I wish they´d just turn the damn teleprompter around so I could mute his voice and read the speech myself.

I cannot stand the thought of having to look at this man for another four years. I just absolutely cannot stand him. I guess I will have to though and besides that, I think he wants to be a president (with a very small "p") for more than four years. I think the people who elected him will be very sorry for their vote in a not too distant future.

Gunmaker Smith & Wesson tops the list of best businesses in bright blue Massachusetts — after not making the list at all last year — a new report in the Boston Globe found. The 161-year-old company, based in a state with some of the stricter gun control laws in the nation, tried to diversify its holdings by acquiring a security company in recent years, only to do an “about-face” by focusing on its product line, the newspaper said in its explanation of the Springfield firm’s top spot. “We went back to what we do best, which is handguns,”

Journalists, First Amendment watchdogs and government transparency advocates reacted with outrage Monday to the revelation that the Justice Department had investigated the newsgathering activities of a Fox News reporter as a potential crime in a probe of classified leaks. Critics said the government’s suggestion that James Rosen, Fox News’s chief Washington correspondent, was a “co-conspirator” for soliciting classified information threatened to criminalize press freedoms protected by the First Amendment. Others also suggested that the Justice Department’s claim in pursuing an alleged leak

Perhaps no other IRS official is more intimately associated with the tax agency´s growing scandal than Lois Lerner, director of the IRS’s Exempt Organizations Division. Since admitting the IRS harassed hundreds of conservative and Tea Party groups for over two years, Lerner has been criticized for a number of untruths—including the revelation that she apparently lied about planting a question at an American Bar Association conference where she first publicly acknowledged IRS misconduct. Still, Lerner has her defenders in the government and the media. Shortly after the scandal broke, The Daily Beast published an article headlined "IRS Scandal’s Central

The Obama administration has no business rummaging through journalists’ phone records, perusing their e-mails and tracking their movements in an attempt to keep them from gathering news. This heavy-handed business isn’t chilling, it’s just plain cold. It also may well be unconstitutional. In my reading, the First Amendment prohibition against “abridging the freedom .?.?. of the press” should rule out secretly obtaining two months’ worth of the personal and professional phone records of Associated Press reporters and editors, including calls to and from the main AP phone number at the House press gallery in the Capitol

DES MOINES, Iowa — Is the tea party getting its groove back? Shouts of vindication from around the country suggest the movement´s leaders certainly think so. They say the IRS acknowledgement that it had targeted their groups for extra scrutiny — a claim that tea party activists had made for years — is helping pump new energy into the coalition. And they are trying to use that development, along with the ongoing controversy over the Benghazi, Libya, terrorist attacks and the Justice Department´s secret seizure of journalists´ phone records, to recruit new activists incensed about government overreach.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
