The Obama Presidency Comedy Watch

continues.

President Obama made a surprise visit to the White House press corps Thursday night, but got agitated when he was faced with a substantive question.

I mean, just who do these reporters think they are?

Update:

As much as I admire Ma and Perlman, this is funny. Why? Because of the Marines!

Inaugural musical performances are routinely recorded ahead of time for just such an eventuality, Ms. Florman said. The Marine Band and choruses, which performed throughout the ceremony, did not use a recording, she said.

Another Update:

JOTD via Bernard Goldberg:

Did you hear the one about how after Barack Obama became president this week he found out the economy was worse than he thought—so he had to lay off 17 journalists.

Still Piling On:

Nihilism Means Nothing to the Dancing Peasants

Heather MacDonald articulates well something I’ve tried to say before.

The Christian world-view holds that all human virtues are a loan from God.  The secularist responds: “Quite the opposite.”  Compassion, love, and mercy are human predicates; we confer them on God. Human beings are the sole source of meaning in the world; history is our story, not God’s story, as Rick Warren has it.

Many believers assume that this human-centric sense of life must lead to nihilism.  “Secular humanism  . . . founders on its own perception of the meaninglessness of human life,” writes Michael Novak in No One Sees God.  I’m puzzled by this stance.  The world is awash in meaning, more than anyone can possibly take in.  I don’t need God to be slain by the exquisiteness of Don Giovanni or a Chopin nocturne.  If life’s beauties, conflict, and cooperation leave believers looking elsewhere for significance, it is they, not skeptics, who live in an empty world.

(Emphasis mine.)

PS: The title of this post is something I saw printed on a yardstick which was on the wall at the old KSAN studios in San Francisco back in the ’70s. I always rather liked it.

Update:

Or, there’s this way.

It’s Official: Obama Opposes Second Amendment Rights

Here it is on The Messiah’s official White House web site.

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

Same, tired old anti-freedom Orwellian crap about “common sense” (which they think is one word). Any time you hear those words, or that word, from a gun grabber it means it’s time to buy ammo.

So much for Hope and Change.

I don’t even want to think what a “childproof” gun is.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to find the part of the Constitution that authorizes the Executive Branch to even have an “Urban Policy”. Or is that Urbanpolicy?
