A world of change in 287 days

| November 3, 2009

Pulitzer Prize winning columnist for the Washington Post, Eugene Robinson took time away from playing with his Barack and Michelle action figures to pen the most ridiculous column ever to grace the pages of the Post entitled “A world of change in 287 days“.

You’re going to have to click over and read Robinson’s fantasies of grandeur…I just can’t bring myself to copy and paste excerpts here, except the last line. Robinson goes through each nonaccomplishment of the current administration and after admitting that each hasn’t happened yet, he exclaims that all of these things that haven’t happened, haven’t happened faster than we could ever hope.

Quite a record for 287 days: All that, and a Nobel Peace Prize, too.

Yes, that’s the kind of cutting-edge, outside-the-box, pushing the envelope journalism that won Robinson the Pulitzer last year. I hope he showers before he goes home at night – I’m sure his wife doesn’t appreciate combing all of that dickcheese out of his mustache.

First off, I just about fell out of my chair, Eugene does indeed need to shower and comb his moustache.
As for the article, nothing but WaPo talking points. Eugene manages to gloss right over the $1.42 Trillion dollar deficit for this year, while soiling himself about the “Stimulus” that has done nothing. And, does he really want political investigations of the party out of power by the party in power? The democrat party won’t be in power forever, and one could make the case that appointing a tax criminal to a cabinet post is itself a crime.
But, one nugget of wisdom does emerge from Eugene’s blathering about 0 and national security, “I don’t think Obama knows the right answer on Afghanistan; I’m not sure anybody does”. If I had to choose someone’s “right answer on Afghanistan”, I’d pick Gen. McChrystal’s, not the naif-in-chief.
And, Eugene, you did say something truthful about health care, it’s not about health and it’s not about care, it’s about entitlement. For that nugget of honesty, thanks.

I’m surprised he could even write the column with Obama’s weiner in his mouth the entire time.

I don’t think Obama knows the right answer on Afghanistan; I’m not sure anybody does.

If the Obamanator can’t figure out a way to cut and run then no one can! and you can take that to the bank.

I cannot believe this article. He is actualy giving the POTUS credit for bringing hope to the “progressive” (pronounced socialist where I live)masses that are huddled in their masses around the welfare office.

What is also great is the juxtoposition of “more willing to investigate Bush-era excesses” and “Yes, the $787 billion stimulus package has been messy, but most economists believe it was absolutely necessary — and some believe it should have been even bigger. Yes, Obama continued the Bush-era policy of showering irresponsible financial institutions with billions in public funds.”

Man I want that kind of scrutiny in my job.

Ho-ly shit. I need a decontamination site, quick. That was disgusting.
But, perhaps I should make a correction. It is not a Nobel Peace Prize.

It IS a Nobel (asskissing) piece prize.

Haven’t read it. Don’t want to waste my time.
But from the tone, it’s a blatent Obamass-kissing piece.

And the MSM/print media (I can’t in all honesty call them “news” papers) wonder why their readership and revenues are falling off the cliff. That’s ok. If they can’t figure it out, then they deserve to die & go out of business.

Jonn,

You’re mixing your metaphors. It should be “stretching the envelope”, not pushing the envelope. You should know, that’s old test pilot lingo for stretching the performance envelope. The other correct metaphor is “pushing the limit”.

You are WRONG Joe…STFU asshat

Joe

Nice to see you too, AHF…

I’m sure if you had Eugene Robinson, Chris Matthews and Edward Norton in the same room discussing their love for Obama, it would be like having three Pee Wee Hermans in a porn theatre.

Dear Joe, try hanging around with a pilot (or in Naval parlance, an “aviator”) before you try correcting someone on metaphors.

And that being said, I was laughing my ass off at the article, until I realized this guy was trying to be serious. Oh, we are SO screwed.

UpNorth

You’re right Sparky, the whole thing is laughable, except that he’s serious. But, it’s only Eugene, giving yet another tongue bath to 0, so no one, other than Joe and those with his particular worldview take it serious.

Joe

Jonn,
Maybe you need to go on a diet?
