Obama's Hack

In Parade Magazine I read the following: "Avoid decision fatigue the way President Obama does. 'I wear only gray or blue suits ' he told Vanity Fair. 'I don't want to make decisions about what I'm eating or wearing.'" I'm asking Gulch members to remind the President what else he has failed to make decisions about.

    Does anyone know his suit size?
    If I could find one, I'd like to send his majesty a rainbow suit so he can't clash with how he lights up the White House at night.

      It's a better idea to check his mind's size. His brain is probably normal, but his mind is likely the size of a walnut.

        From Publishers Clearing House I've recently purchased a metal nut cracker that looks like a squirrel.
        Crank it's tail and it bites into a nut.
        I have not tried it out yet.
        Oh, wait! You said the size of his brain is normal.
        Never mind.
        Come to think of it, I doubt the Secret Service would let me bring that contraption into the Rainbow House.
        They'd be afraid I'd get squirrely if I saw his majesty.

    You mean someone actually reads Parade Magazine? I use it to line the bottom of my bird cage!

      a more serious note, it wasn't that long ago that Parade was at least a readable addition to the Sunday paper. Albeit an extremely middle-American rag intended first and foremost not to offend anyone. Someone clearly made a decision to reduce it to a mere shadow of its former self. Just another innocuous insert taking up space next to the Sunday comix.

      Way back when in the old days plural there were two in the Sunday newspaper. I recall one had two memorable articles. One was a reporter who learned to speak Russian in one week at Berlitz using something called Total Immersion. Had occasion to go there myself for Spanish it works. the second was a journalist who dressed up in a Russian Army Colonel's uniform had a travel bag containing a phony bomb with nuclear stickers and hitch hiked from New York to San Francisco explaining he was the headmaster for a boys military school and his car had broken down. No one batted an eye cross ways. Remembering we pulled the same thing in the Army for site security defense evaluations. Used a different cover story but it still worked. Oh for the aqe of the innocents. Since then magazines have other than National Geo and a few of the scientific journals have gone straight down hill. I find ten dollars for a rag full of ads not appealing.

    Virtually everything...I think he is feed the rhetoric of the day during breakfast.
    My observation is that he has no mind and dysfunctional brain.
    NO Conscious Human Being could say, do or think the dumb things he does.
    Must be the prescription drugs he is given.

      Don't be mislead. There is a difference between ignorance and evil. An ignorant person can be that way through no evil intent. We recognize the madness of his agenda and it is easy to attribute it to being dumb, but it is dumb with a purpose, which is to deceive the people that what he proposes is for their benefit. We realize that in the long run, it will be destructive.

        There is also a big difference between cunning like a fox, clever and being smart. A fox is not smart. balmy has a low IQ, which means he hasn't accumulated much knowledge but what makes a person smart is how that person has integrated the knowledge they have. balmy and the liberal progressive kind are compartmentalized brain only creatures and their idiotology only makes it worse; hence, that is were evil comes from, it is pure disorder or chaos. In other words, they are dumb psychopaths.

          Back to Michael Savage's mantra, "Liberalism is a mental disorder."

            I'm not a Savage Fan but then I swore off newspapers, then tv then radio to take a breath of the free life as an expat. the only TV I see is in the tufesa bus station and it's mostly jabon y llores. With internet I could get Boortz and a few others. BUT all of that aside that's either the quote of the year or a mis statement of definition. Conservatives are the entrenched insiders fighting change. Liberals are the barking dog outsiders trying to get in. One set in stone and slow to effect change. The other wants it all and wants it now. Which describes the current distribution in Washington DC? Demos and Dumbos shoulder to shoulder against the outsiders. The rest of us sob sob have become liberals except we have principles and principals the other side has ....Hillary!

            But on that point in the context of his times ...and slightly adjusted. Secular Progressive led fascist leftists are a mental disorder will do nicely. Right and Left Wing of the Left

    Objectivism versus Cosmopolitanism.

    Which includes in its statement the most valid premises?

    Cosmopolitanism - the ideology that all human beings belong to a single community, based on a shared morality.

    Objectivism - reality exists independently of consciousness, that human beings have direct contact with reality through sense perception, that one can attain objective knowledge from perception through the process of concept formation and inductive logic, that the proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness (rational self-interest), that the only social system consistent with this morality is one that displays full respect for individual rights embodied in laissez-faire capitalism, and that the role of art in human life is to transform humans' metaphysical ideas by selective reproduction of reality into a physical form—a work of art—that one can comprehend and to which one can respond emotionally.

    He apparently avoids his duties too. Today I happen to notice that Biden was presiding over the Un security council meeting on ISIS on the UN live-stream. Obama must have come in at the beginning of the meeting, given his flowery speech (there was footage on the news) and then left to go to a photo op with Raul Castro. It was Obama’s turn to head the security council meeting. Shouldn’t he have stayed to hear all sides?

        I have come to the conclusion that he is a child. He is getting his orders from...? And he speaks well, but a child playing sports and with his toys but avoids doing his homework because then, he might understand the reality of his policies.

        This evokes memories of LBJ. He was dumber than most dogs an a rottweiler in disguise. You may remember the incident.

          I sure do. We are beagle people and he lifted up his poor beagles by the ears and a big hoo-hah was made by the animal rights people. I swear, I was almost ready to jump on a plane and beat the crap out of ol' Lynden if the Secret service didn't shoot me first.

    I think he´s lazy on deciding to step aside or grab the bull by the horns. I mean, he did mess up Kerry´s attempt to bombard Syria, which I applaud. But what about the whole intervention in the Middle East. It´s time to take it back Sam ! Go Home and Invest in something Constructive, like alternate energy´s and such.

      Kerry ducks out of the battle field leaving his troops behind and from the safety of the State Department wants to start another war with lots of collateral damage? There is something rather dark and bloody in his attitude given the the liklihood of collateral damage in the rice paddy equvalents in Kurdistan.But it got him a Senate Seat, a Governorship, a Cabinet position so one has to wonder since the people who gave him those positions are the same ones who voted for the Vietnam War, for the Iraq invasion and now for arming Iran and by extension Iran's allies with nuclear weapons. Still the is the dark horse and has not been scratched.
