Wanker of the Year: Barack Obama.

Yeah, it’s only February, but since we may not survive beyond Spring anyway, it seems appropriate to “hydrate my powder” now.

Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama said he doesn’t “begrudge” the $17 million bonus awarded to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon or the $9 million issued to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO Lloyd Blankfein, noting that some athletes take home more pay.

What a soggy biscuit!  What a clammy douche!  What a sopping towelette dispenser!   What a water-logged noodle!  What a squishy fricking cucumber!  What a spongy encephalitis!   What a nasal rinse gone wrong!

In all my tear-stained honesty: This guy is hopeless.  A swamped boat.

Consider my powder adequately hydrated.

I hope Lord Eschaton, Earl of Atrios, Duncan of Black sees fit to commend my moistened outrage.

Update: Pre-empted!

    We are all Haitians. And a few have food.

  3. The logo for his Resistance Manifesto features a big R.

    Given the secret globalist government which is Obama we should refer to him as pResident of the United States.  It also plays into Resident Evil themes of Raccoon City and the Umbrella Corporation.  All in all perfectly illustrating our current dilema.

    Worthy of a Tin-Tin Captaincy. Great stuff.

    Although it really stands for “Obama Fucks America.”

    Obama got people all excited about the potential for change through grassroots electoral action.  Now that he has been exposed for the tool that he is those people who were energized by his narrative of Hope© and Change© are going to feel betrayed.  Some number, who knows how many, will never partake of that kind of political activity again … the very kind of political activity needed to effect the change needed.

  6. … not invite the opposing dugout over at the 7th inning stretch,  and asking them for their input on how to best keep losing.  Not to mention the concession stand price monopoly on peanuts and cracker jacks.

    if you go to Plumline, there is an “explanatory” story:  What Obama really said.  Krugman’s column “out of context.”

    To my mind it is still offensive but Obama has learned how to control the blogs.  I remember on Kos when he sent his troops in and they are in full force on Plumline and probably on Huff Post and DK.

    I am fearful this will cause yet another sitdown with some talking person (maybe a perceived “progressive” – how about Tweety) wherein he crosses his legs and engages again in his talking points, looking all casual and smooth – this time skewed in the direction of the poor souls outside the castle’s moat.  We.can’t.hear.you.  

    Be quiet for a bit – I beg you.

  8. of Blechular Wormgear, which I have just now bestowed.

    However, in all fairness, I would say that I don’t “begrudge” them that money either, since that would imply personal animosity, whereas my true thoughts are an entirely impersonal desire to see such people investigated, tried, convicted, and imprisoned for actual fraud rather than tut-tutted for mere piggishness.  If President Obama had added that, I would of course withdraw the appellation….

    Not quite but almost. What happened to the decision to actually acknowledge the people who elected him after the people of Massachusetts told him where to stick it?

    Hey what happened to those approximately $6 trillion in credit default swaps still floating around banks that are too big to fail?

    I watched “Coming Home” on TV today and the opening and closing song of the movie seems so much like Obama and the Democrats theme song.

    Not that any of the elected Democrats really care. The ones that get thrown out will enjoy a nice raise in pay as corporate lobbyist and the remaining few will be more comfortable going back to their minority C-SPAN roles.

    And lets face it, its about time New York City gets a Presidential library. Wall St. is as good a location as any.    

    I don’t have much time for blogging anymore, I mean what the fuck is the sense of it?   But I would have loved to have seen the reaction if  this was posted at DailyKos.

    from his predecessor, George W. Bush, as per Ezra Klein

    Bush had this right. In his first year in office, he was using recess appointments and running major legislation through the reconciliation process. That normalized those moves for the rest of his administration. Using those tools wasn’t a story. The Obama White House, by contrast, is holding those moves in reserve, which has allowed Republicans to paint them as extraordinary measures. But they’re not extraordinary measures. They’re basic elements of governance in an era of polarization and procedural obstructionism, and the White House should treat them that way.

    (emphasis mine)

    Obama blew his “capital” dithering about bipartisanship that the other side wanted nothing to do with from the start.

    jawdropping is what a lightweight this guy has turned out to be. The puppet-masters are really having a laugh with/on us over this one, they’ve outdone themselves with the achievement of having foisted this Bush-trump card on us! Between Obama and Dubya, how can anyone continue to have respect for an Ivy-League education. Our great constitutional law professor-President wouldn’t recognize that document if he had to use it for toilet-paper: carrying on all the Bush abuses gleefully. Where should we have the KSM trial oh great Swami? Nome, Alaska?
