Valin Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The Week in Pictures, Obama Faceplant Edition Steven Hayward 6/22/13 Where is Jeff MacNelly when you really need him? MacNelly, old timers may remember, was the brilliant editorial cartoonist for the Richmond Times-Dispatch back in the 1970s and early 1980s who took it to Jimmy Carter like nobody. MacNelly sadly died of cancer in his 40s, depriving us of his talents for their use on Bill Clinton and Obama. Because we could use a reprise of MacNellys Official White House Portrait of Jimmy Carter (first image below) adapted for Obama, especially after that Berlin speech. To call that speech a turkey would be an insult to stuffing and corn bread; that speech flopped worse than an overweight albatross landing in a vat of jello.

saveliberty Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Sermon 650 : Zechariah's Story : 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time 6/23/2013 http://63fea04d300e4558ea4c-7f2564cdb569320767c0732ede0c8483.r35.cf1.rackcdn.com/650.mp3 Please click the play button above to listen now. Our first reading for this Sunday is from the fascinating book of the prophet Zechariah. Zechariah wrote when the Israelites were returning to Jerusalem from the Babylonian exile to find their city and temple in ruins. Zechariah writes a message of hope predicting the redeemer, Jesus, who will gather in the scattered tribes to the temple to praise God. We are a part of the great crowd that God has gathered from the ends of the earth.

SrWoodchuck Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Via iOTW Pew Poll: Words Like ‘Incompetent’ and ‘Liar’ Most Used to Describe Obama http://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=190677 Pew Polling firm has found an interesting change in the way President Obama is being described, with the use of words like “incompetent” and “liar” on the rise. The latest Pew poll finds that one-word impressions of Obama are turning negative more often than they have in the past. Until now, Pew says, these wholly negative one-word impressions were “rare.” The survey finds that the one-word impressions people have of Obama have changed a great deal throughout his presidency. Terms like incompetent and liar now are among the most frequently used words to describe Obama. In April 2009, when his job approval was at 63%, these words were rare. I prefer the acronym......SCOAMF! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTexan Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 How about "Bystander in Chief"? "They did it" "Someone else did it and we will find him" "It was that way when I got here" "I didn't know about it" "Things like this just happen and can't be controlled" "Nothing happened" "I was somewhere else when that happened" He's like the guy who passes gas on a crowded elevator and points at everyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The appropriateness of a "Hollywood" film did not change with the horrible event of Sandy Hook, CT. If the the film was inappropriate for whatever reason afterwards... it should have been inappropriate before. The only thing that has changed in this matter is the PC timing and politicizing of the event and the victims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmerman, and accordingly was the first opportunity for each side to present their “theory of the case” to the jury. This day covered both the party’s opening statements, as well as the first four of the State’s witnesses (although testimony of the fourth was interrupted). Here, however, I’ll just provide an overview and analysis of the opening statements. I’ll cover the first few of the State’s witnesses separately.
