No one is exempt. Not the news crowd. Not the garden clubs. Not the caucuses. Not even the late-night TV set. No one is exempt to Barack Obama - or at least his seemingly omnipotent persona.
Each morning millions of Americans awaken to the sound of talk radio and television pundits who may find themselves asking, "When is he going to realize he is the President of the United States?"
Sooner or later it is going to occur to Barack Obama that he is the president of the United States.

BTW, don't reply with "I'm still going to pray for you". Instead of wasting that breath, how about you actually attempt to do something for a better future, instead of being a typical hypocritical christian by bashing on a person because you THINK he is of a different religion.
You don’t like it? Then LEAVE!
And you really need to research “Separation of Church and State” more thoroughly before you start using that quote. Many people like to say that, but very few actually even know what it means or stands for. It does NOT stand for Individuals and individuals are free to worship how they wish, pray where they like and praise God to their hearts desire if they so choose to do so!
And Anonymous #10, EVERY Religion has the right to worship as they so choose, not just Christians. This may be a hard pill for fellow Christians to swallow, but it’s a fact that can’t be changed. It’s not just a right granted by our Constitution, it’s a right granted by GOD when he gave Adam and Eve “Free Will”.
Our forefathers understood about suppression of basic human rights that God has granted us all with. They dreamed of a country where man did not play God, and America was to be this country. Yet today, too many Politicians and Citizens try to play God by dictating how or when people can pray, and by persecuting those who do decide to worship.
Look at the IRS to see that separation of Church and State means nothing, the IRS even dictates what can be preached from the pulpit and Pastors all over the country lets the Government dictate what they can or cannot say just so they won’t have to pay taxes.
Our Country is in a sad state right now, as it has been for decades. This isn’t something that can be blamed on one man (Obama), actually this can’t be blamed on any one person at all. It can be blamed on the Citizens (all Citizens, even Pastors and “Church-Goers”) for being lazy sheep who stand in line with everyone as they are led to destruction.
Yeah! I could see through the BS he was feeding the people so I guess I’d have to say he is exactly the imposter he promised he would be.
The stock market has climbed some, not due to Obama, but due to companies cutting back and reallocating their resources to protect their bottom line.
Housing markets have not picked back up. Go out to Balamo or Bankston's and ask how many houses they've supplied lumber to this month. Go ride around the county and see the subdivisions that were started and never had the first house built in it. See what activity is going on there right now. NONE!
Gas prices are steady, again, nothing to do with Obama as gas is a worldwide resource that has everything to do with violence (or lack thereof) in oil producing nations overseas, as well as supply problems and futures markets volatility.
You say jobs are coming back? Where? How many help wanted ads have you seen in the paper this week? I am a small businessman. Business has been in the toilet for the last 2 1/2 years. The job market is not improving, regardless of what you hear on the news. I see it everyday, and so do other small businesspeople like me.
Jobs he can help with. He and his administration can put policies in place to make the US the place for business and industry, instead of making it unprofitable for a business to remain here. But what has he done? Nothing much, besides try to railroad national health care down our throats. Granted, these problems have been brewing for maybe 40 years. Democrats as well as Republicans have done little to nothing to alleviate this problem. As such, I'm not much a fan of either. They all tell you what you want to hear, without any substance behind it.
in any blog.
Enoc, one can quickly ascertain that you share the same vision as my esteemed Democrat saviour, OBAMA!
You have freed yourself from the chains of psychological entrapment espoused by the US Constitution and willingly adhere to the principles of dramatic CHANGE. Salute!
It excites me that you accept and promote the Marxist-Socialistic ideology of our SAVIOUR, Barack Hussein Obama. Allah Akbar!
It may be difficult for you to abandon the liberal dogmatic dark cloud of Unitarian Universalism. But, have no fear! With malevolent methodology and Congressional majority, OUR Democrat Messiah is systematically shining the bright lights of ObaMuslism across America and smirkingly illuminates the Path of Radicalism" for the infidels to see. Allah Akbar!
I admire you for coming out of the 'closet of darkness' and help promote our mantra, CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE!. We need more comrades like you to help Rahm that CHANGE down the throats of 'non-believers'. Allah Akbar!
Quoting Rev. Jeremiah Wright, from the pulpit of his Church Of Indocrination, "GOD DA** AMERICA!, GOD DA** AMERICA!
WoW! How profound! We solicit all Apolistic teachers in the ilk of Wright to help you and me promote Obama CHANGE in our rural backwoods community. These Rednecks desperately need CHANGE! I will stand with you to help.
I have extra copies of the Koran that I can share with you to distribute among your friends, family and neighbors. There are a lot of us "CHANGERS" around Lamar County that need guidance in spreading OUR message of CHANGE!
Also, I have ordered the language software, Rosetta Stone, and will totally immerse myself into learning Arabic and Chinese so I will be prepared for the future. Do you want me to burn copies for you and your friends?
Do you have any dollars? Hold on to them and wait for the United States to CHANGE to a Global Currency. Don't convert dollars to GOLD, our DECIDER can use those dollars.
After OUR Messiah astutely decides to "Go for it" with his ObamaCare mandate, prompt and improved medical attention will prevail. Doctors will be able to see more patients by limiting treatments to 3 minutes. That is efficiency!
Our Saviour Obama, with his wise ways and superior speaking ability, is capable of appeasing despotic dictators into not attacking Americans. I am sure you agree that the U.S. should "stand down" ALL military forces and use those expenditures to pay for Government Run HealthCare and fund community activists like the defunct group ACORN?
Our Pontificating President is a visionary!
Obama wrote in 'Dreams From My Father':
"In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies."
Enoc, you and I must promise each other not to "make faces". We need to assist the infidels to CHANGE. Allah Akbar!
In closing, I share with you the thought of a Partisan President wielding a big stick to keep those "right wing nut cases" in line.
We don't have "jerk" George Bush running rough shod over us anymore with bogus Anti-Terror "keeping us safe after 911" policies. We finally have a real MAN as POTUS.
All about CHANGE! Really! No kidding!
Barry
Very creative indeed! Thanks for all the undivided attention. So educated but yet so subjective to the illusion of some deviant Islamic scheme to take over the world and make us all raise goats and wear rages on our head. I have my own copy of the Koran thank you. I keep it right beside my copy of Mein Kamph. Maybe we can share scripture over the blog.
Gee Barry….you might want to start limiting the hours behind the tube or at least change the channel from FOX news once in a while. It’s either turned you into an extremely sarcastic liberal or the ideal delusional right wing babbling idiot.

This is from an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"
Dear Mr. President,
Please find below my suggestion for fixing America's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.
You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan: There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.
It can't get any easier than that!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress and their constituents pay their taxes...
Author is unknown (and keen)
Before Obama took office stock markets tanked, recession was in the air, and the value of a dollar wasnt worth the ink it was printed with. Since Obama, markets have hit a three year high. If you're saying that its because companies have relocated and cutback why would they have to do that to begin with? Bush administration.
Instead of talking to Bankston Lumber, how about going and talking to United Bank. Ask them about the new housing loan incentives and how homes are now being sold quicker than they were this time last year. And those subdivision? Yeah they stopped building about this time last year too, why? Bush administration again.
Gas prices. How about we look back to this time last year when we were paying almost $5 a gallon. I know you have to remember this. How about you google "Enron loophole" do a little reading and realize that the day after Bush was completed with the Enron loophole gas prices almost immediately feel to where they are now. Oil prices then had nothing to do with supply and demand. Lets chalk that one up to Bush Administration too.
"Business has been in the toilet for the last 2 1/2 years." Well then, you cleared this one right up for me. Could have sworn Obama look office early this year, which means he had nothing to do with this. Go ahead and look up the national jobless percentage and realize that the percentage is dropping. Guess you know where I'm going with this...Bush Administration.
Being a small town business man I'm going to assume that maybe you've had some type of interaction with the courts system. Have you ever attempted to get any type of action done through the courts? Liquor license, business permits, lawsuits or anything or that nature? How long did that take? Did you go in on a Monday and everything was over by the weekend? Courts take several months to even get to your case. Now imagine this on a much grander scale. If Obama were to magically change the US and it's laws in a couple of weeks then everyone would freak out that he really is Hitler and has control of all the lawmakers.
The mess that Obama is cleaning up is like cleaning up dog crap. Except in the process of cleaning it up, it takes to long, starts to stink, and he is punished for something that wasnt his fault to begin with.
Of course all of this was a complete waste of time for me to type. Like I stated earlier no matter what anyone says to you, you will continue to exclaim that Obama is running the nation into the ground.
Secondly, I never said this was Obama's fault. I also did not say this was Bush's fault, as you incorrectly pointed out. These problems have been manifesting over the long term, and have been pushed into place by both Democrats and Republicans.
Thirdly, the point I was attempting to make was that the economy is not improving like you think it is, or like you hear it is on the news. I'm telling you real world experiences. How many of those do you have of your own to tell?
I agree that Obama's only been in office 9 months and that it'll take time for him to fix anything, as it would no matter who is president. Point is, what programs has he proposed to stimulate the economy? A 787 billion dollar plan thats gonna tax our great grandchildren! Granted, there may be some good to come out of it, but the bulk of it is pork projects, like Pelosi's swamp rat study and Reid's train to Disneyland.
You can glorify Obama and bash Bush all you want to. It's clear from your ramblings that Bush is the cause of all this. You want to hold Obama out like the savior sent to save us all. If that is your intent, go ahead. I've not found a candidate yet with a clear cut plan, except for maybe Ross Perot, who incidentally is the ONLY reason Clinton got elected. Like I said earlier, these problems have been brewing for about 40 years, in which time we've had Democrat and Republican presidents. Or perhaps you need to Google that information as well....
I honestly can't see how you think the economy isn't improving. Slowly, but it is obviously improving. We still have a long way to go but we are in much better shape now then we were a year ago. Even THG page 2 says that unemployment is dropping finally (though stil way to high).
Choosing Obama was basically choosing the lesser of two evils. Either way America was/is in trouble. If his plans help us now and hurt us later so be it. I feel that in 10 years, no matter who was elected, the entire globe is going to be hurting. Just sit back stockpile ammo, food, and clothing; and enjoy the ride.
As for the post below from MM i couldn't agree more that Obama is a socialist. I am pissed that he gets away lying to an entire nation. When will everyone wake up and realize this guy is bad news
"Some folks are dissatisfied with free enterprise if it doesn't work perfectly and satisfied with government if it works at all."
- Daniel B. Klein, Ph.D., economics professor
Maybe Dan should've said "most folks."
Agreed - Obama is bad news, a complete socialist. ...MM
This was a "letter to the editor" in yesterdays (August 29) Jackson, MS newspaper.
Dear Sirs:
"During my last night's shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with a shiny new gold tooth, multiple elaborate tattoos, a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B tune for a ringtone.
Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid.
She smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer.
And our president expects me to pay for this woman's health care?
Our nation's health care crisis is not a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. It is a crisis of culture - a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on vices while refusing to take care of one's self or purchase health insurance. A culture that thinks "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me".
Life is really not that hard. Most of us reap what we sow.
STARNER JONES, MD
Jackson, MS
Now Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the area supreme commander, is advising the commander in chief, President Barack Hussein Obama, that he needs more troops in Afghanistan. President Obama answers with a trip to Denmark to try and secure the Summer Olympics in Chicago.
This is just another morally reprehensible action by our president. He says he needs time to evaluate the situation; however that is the job of his commander, General McChrystal. As I see it, the president is off on another all expense taxpayer paid working holiday while he turns his back on the military he is suppose to command and support. Shame on you President Obama, and shame on you congressional leadership, for not answering the call of General McChrystal. The blood of the troops that lose their lives while you all ponder your own arrogance is as much your fault as it is the enemy that took them. About the only difference is that the enemy is advancing while you politicians worry about votes.
No facts are distorted. They are wide open. From your reply, it seems you have forgot the reason they are over there. The facts are easy. Stop pussyfooting around, listen to the real people that know, go win this war, then bring home the military.
Enoc - have you served?
Not only that I'm a military brat so my youth was greatly factor by what my father gave to this country. I have yet to figure out
what this has to do with our approach in the wars the US is presently engaged.
A Viet Nam vet would know exactly what he is talking about. A real vet would not take up for someone not backing the troops.
"Air Force One is a fully equipped control center where the commander-in-chief has all the capabilities to make decisions as if he was sitting in the Oval office."
You are CORRECT!..sorta!
Barack Hussein obama..umm..umm..umm.. does make the SAME decisions whether in the Oval Office or Air Force One. His 'decisions' are narcissistically oriented in favor of what will benefit his 'Cabal Of Change' and AMERICA be dam*ed. Barack Hussein obama..mmm..mmm..mmm...has transformed Commander-In-Chief into Proscrastinator-In-Chief. He turns deaf ears and blind eyes to Battlefield Commanders. obama and his Czars aided by Chicago Mobster Cronies and the Democrat majority Congress are Rahming their evil intentions down the throats of Americans.
America is fighting a WAR with Islamic terrorists trying to separate our necks from our shoulders. They are coming!
Barack Hussein Obama...umm..umm..umm..is a smug and arrogant Tour Guide for these murderers.
I learned about Br'er Rabbit and Tar-Baby at school in 1948. A fitting analogy for sure, but, Barack Hussein Obama..umm..umm..umm is the NEW Br'er Rabbit and his Socialistic Policies are the NEW Tar-Baby. Watch!
Time is at hand for you to WAKEN from your somnambulistic adoration of this false prophet. Extracting your haplochromis placodon from your rectum intestinum is a beginning.
Call N. Alcars
I thought a new Storm Warning System installed by the Lamar County Office Of Emergency Awareness had malfunctioned. The decibel level would make heavy metal bands AC/DC and Black Sabbath blush with envy.
A frantic call was hastily made to LCOOEA Director Justin Tyme. He told me that no LCOOEA equipment was in disrepair. Tyme related that CNN noon news reported from Copenhagen that the IOC had eliminated Chicago as a city competing to host the 2016 Olympic Games.
Justin Tyme said the strange hissssssssssssing sounds from the East came as a result of the WORLD'S LARGEST AND ARROGANT EGO being quickly deflated in front of the WORLD! The whiff-whiff-plopp-plopp was the EMPTY SUIT falling to the floor in a crumpled pile.
A call was made to Al J. Zera in Washington for verification of facts. Al sadly related that Air Force One had been overloaded with HUBRIS, IMPUDENCE, EFFRONTERY, EGOTISM, DISDAIN, ARROGANCE, NARCISSISM, SOCIALISM, and 25 cases of Hennessey Cognac. With no space available on the plane to hold the Teleprompters, Obama was handicapped and unable to deliver a Messianic Begging Performance to the IOC. With no Teleprompters, Obama couldn't convince anyone which day of the week it was.
Obama's failure to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago as a payback to the Daly-Jarrett Political Machine proves the Emperor has no clothes and will be looking for new tailors.
Hope N. Change
Every post originating from the liberal and Socialist mindset and facilitated via keyboards to be absorbed by the uninformed, provides an unlimited supply of rebuttal.
Being an 'old Medicare recipient', I have the luxury of retirement to be well informed and the ability to speak out against obammy's purveyors of petulance.
