Someone Agrees with BizzyBlog on Barack Obama’s Unfitness
Here is a certain nationally-syndicated talk show host, commenting on the presidential candidate I refer to as BOOHOO-OUCH (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi†Obama - Objectively Unfit Coddler of Haters):
….. about Obama and the American flag lapel pin. The question came from Pennsylvania voter Nash McCabe, and it was on videotape. The question, “Senator Obama, I want to know if you believe in the American flag. I’m not questioning your patriotism, but all our servicemen, policemen, and EMS wear the flag. I want to know why you don’t.” Now, this is what I mean. The very fact this question has to be asked of somebody running for the presidency ….. to me tells me the guy’s not fit …..
Rush has a different reason, and has a lower fitness threshold, but has come to the same conclusion reached by yours truly on April 8, observing Obama’s 20-year association with a church that promotes the racist Black Liberation Supremacist Theology; his pledge to continue to attend it; and his refusal to categorically condemn those who promote that “theology” to varying extremes, including his 20-year now-”retired” pastor and that pastor’s successor:
A person who is without the judgment to run away from this garbage (and the breathtaking financial hypocrisy; Farrakhan’s too) as fast as he (and his family!) can, but instead hangs around for 20 years (just stop it already with the plausible deniability arguments), is …… (here we go) …… objectively unfit for the nation’s highest office and all that holding it entails.
Does John McCain’s inability to control his temper make him unfit? Some seem to think so:
“Former senator Bob Smith, a New Hampshire Republican, expresses worries about McCain: ‘His temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him.’”

Obama scandal alert! http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/192350.php No matter what you might think of Mormans or their sects with polygamy, one should not give false police reports!

#1, given who we’re dealing with internationally, the fact that he has an unpredictable temper, far from being an aspect of possible unfitness, is what is better known as “an asset.”
A little uncertainty in the bad guys’ minds about what might happen if certain moves are made could be a useful deterrent.
This is an aspect of Reagan that was and still is underappreciated.
Also, I’m unaware of any reports of McCain throwing lampshades.

“Tom wrote, “This is an aspect of Reagan that was and still is underappreciated”
Are you suggesting that, like McCain, Reagan was unable to control his temper? McCain and Reagan have so little in common.

#4, no, I read the whole article:
“Does he get angry? Yes,” said Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who supports McCain’s presidential bid. “But it’s never been enough to blur his judgment. . . . If anything, his passion and occasional bursts of anger have made him more effective.”
“I’m not saying he doesn’t have a temper, but it’s governable,” Salter said. “When he has a heated argument, it’s usually with one of his peers, who are unaccustomed to being addressed that way by anyone, really. Sometimes he can’t govern his tongue. He’s just blunt — he’s a straightforward person.”
McCain and Reagan have what I described in #3 in common: the ability to have righteous anger and to do something about what caused it.
Clinton comes off worse for those willing to read to the end.
Don’t put words in my mouth — I never said that McCain can’t control his temper, and you know it. I said it’s unpredictable. That means you and I can’t predict it — just like no one could have predicted “I paid for this microphone.”

You said McCain’s temper is an asset and you compared him to Ronald Reagan. Reagan was never out of control. Reagan was never profane. McCain is no Reagan.
Representative Geoff Davis might say of McCain, “That hothead’s finger does not need to be on the button.â€

#6, no, I (again) read the whole article.
I never said McCain can’t control his temper, so whether Reagan ever was or wasn’t out of control is irrelevant.
McCain is occasionally profane, which makes him less than perfect. Reagan and the two Bushes are probably the only non-profane prezes in the past 48 years. Sometimes we can’t get all we want.
Since you can’t read and understand the first time, I’ll repeat: McCain and Reagan have the ability to have righteous anger and to do something about what caused it.
And damn you — the WaPo story is 99% fiction:
- Morrissey
And Davis’s comment was about Obama — Davis must know he has nothing to worry about with McCain.
I should have known better than to waste my time on this. Please don’t waste your time commenting on this matter again.

Is Tony refering to that POS piece in the Post that was total fiction?

Seems like Obama was caught in another, how shall we say? exageration or would it be minimization of his financial status in order to be on the same level as Joe six pack. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/04/multiple_choice_quiz.html

Follow up on Obama scandal in the making: “UPDATE: Rozita Swinton, the woman arrested today for falsely tipping off the police that she was an abused child bride at the FLDS polygamy cult in Texas is a PLEDGED BARACK OBAMA STATE DELEGATE!!”

#8, that would be the one.
#9-10, dscott, I tell you, the missteps, lies, etc. are coming so fast I half-expect someone to ring the Gong, grab the hook and get him offstage. This is embarrassing.
