Karl Rove thinks Sarah Palin
doesn't have the "gravitas" to be President. This said, while the sitting President of the United States is appearing on comedy shows and his minions are doing their utmost to "fix" as many elections as they can, Mr. Milbank points out that Stewart called Obama "dude." In just two years Obama has reduced the person who holds the office of the presidency of the United States to being called "dude" by a second rate comedian. Now that's what I call gravitas.
Dana Milbank at the Washington Post:
On Comedy Central, the joke was on President Obama Wednesday night.
The president had come, on the eve of what will almost certainly be the loss of his governing majority, to plead his case before Jon Stewart, gatekeeper of the disillusioned left. But instead of displaying the sizzle that won him an army of youthful supporters two years ago, Obama had a Brownie moment read the rest

the presidency of the United States to being called "dude"
Oh, really? You know, you shouldn't try to make an argument for "the dignity of the office" if you aren't willing to accept it yourself.
Communist. Leftist. Marxist. Fascist.
You’re right. "Dude" is so much worse.
(Hypocrisy. The new fragrance from Calvin Klein.)
I've been thinking about some of the "things" that Obama told Stewart "some people don't even know about."
One of the many is the ObamaCare fine print that deprives Americans of their right to choose their own doctors: something I learned about at your blog.
Linked to you at Bread upon the Waters.
Hey Cynic - brush up on your reading comprehension. I wasn't calling the president, as you stated, "Communist. Leftist. Marxist. Fascist (by the way - fascist wasn't included.) I was referring to you and your ilk.
However - all those terms apply to our current president. Reality is a b*tch!
QR - and if you examine the stimulus bill, you'll find the "death" panels.
I'm not sure where Quite Right gets his health insurance. Insurance companies in America routinely select our doctors. This has been a long term way of doing business.
Gee, Adrienne, but here you are, either calling Obama (or quoting somebody else) by all kinds of names.
Communist.
Marxist.
Fascist
Because you apparently don't know what those words mean. For that matter, in your own words, you've called the President of the United States a wuss, a pig, and a despicable human being.
"Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?" (James 4:11-12 KJV)
"But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." (Romans 14:10-12 KJV)
Or, more to the point (and just to be sure you understand, I'll switch to NIV - less poetry, but a little more clarity):
"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves." (Romans 13:1-2)
But that's OK. You keep right on sinning against the word of Jesus. I'm sure God is very forgiving about that kind of thing.
Hey Cynic - does Argent Health Services know you're using company time to surf the blogs?
No. But that would be because "Argent Health Services" doesn't exist, as far as I know.
On the other hand, since I'm currently sitting in a hospital wondering if my sister is going to walk away from the result of a pregnancy at the age of 37 with an alcoholic who isn't her husband, I'll just guess that the free wifi that I'm getting is related to that name.
But, you know, feel free to be ignorant and attack the messenger when you don't have an answer, OK?
And hopefully, none of your relatives will be dying anytime soon, while you're trying to make snarky answers to people who know more about the world than you do.
