When The White House Phone Rings At 3am And Waffles Have Just Been Served…

“Can I just finish my waffle?” - Barack Obama’s thought-provoking analysis of Jimmy “I Never Met An Enemy of the US I Didn’t Love” Carter’s meeting with Hamas representatives.
Who is this clown (Obama to be specific) and where did he come from? For years we’ve had to endure the Left seizing on every misstatement made by President Bush as evidence of how stupid he is. At this rate, Obama should pass him up before the 2009 Inauguration.
One would think that after eight horrific years of dealing with a dumb, chimp-ish looking President who struggles to make sense, Hillary Clinton would be riding into the nomination. Let’s face it: the more Obama talks, the more puzzling he becomes.
The above quote is for real. It was Obama’s response to a reporter at a campaign event, a get-out-and-mingle-with-the-voters breakfast. The reporter asked Obama for his thoughts on Carter’s (latest) embarrassing display of auto-fellatio. It’s easy to understand why Obama didn’t want to touch the question but it’s rather amazing that even the Obama-fawning media passed up an opportunity to make this pathetic response a media sensation.
This breakfast was a stop on Obama’s whirlwind “57 state” campaign tour, a campaign that also exposed his belief in a statute of limitations on condemning an unrepentant terrorist from “40 years ago”, unimportant because Obama was only “eight” when William Ayers set off bombs in Washington DC. Put aside that Obama was 40 years old when Ayers said that the Weather Underground didn’t terrorize enough back when Obama was eight. Since Obama was only 33 when the Murrah building was bombed, perhaps that would qualify Terry Nichols as a campaign asset. Or perhaps it’s just failed terrorists who he is attracted to.
Jeremiah Wright set Obama on a roller-coaster of stupidity. In a matter of about six weeks, Obama went from denying that Wright’s statements were necessarily controversial, to denying that he actually heard Wright express these views, to stating that he didn’t agree with them, to denouncing the statements but unable to turn his back on Wright to…turning his back on Wright, based on the conclusion, not that Wright hurt America or race relations or black Americans, but rather based on Wright hurting the Obama campaign.
Obama couldn’t reconcile his desire to double the capital gains tax with the practically admitted reality of what it will do to investment and revenues nor has he reconciled his agenda of leaving Iraq while considering an invasion of Pakistan in efforts to get Osama bin Laden.
Couple all of this with the incessant whining by Obama every time he is in a situation that he can’t slick his way out of, the old ‘why is everybody always picking on me?’ response. Just what we want in a president, especially a commander-in-chief at a time of war. Sorry Barry, condemning and denouncing William Ayers should amount to the easiest thing a presidential candidate might have to do. If we can’t even expect that out of him, what could we possibly expect from him when he is president?
This is supposed to be a new breed of politician? Maybe when we knew little about him. Looking at his judgment on these supposedly little things makes me wonder how his judgment will be better on the big things, when he has the power of the office to back him up. We had better hope when that troubling call comes in at 3:00 in the morning, President Obama hasn’t just been served up with a fresh plate of waffles.
