MKH nails this. It’s exactly what I’ve been saying for a long time now.
- Pres-elect Obama drew his biggest appeal in 2004 at the DNC convention with a speech that focused on nationalism, unity, and an end to partisan divisiveness.
- Two years later he began his Presidential campaign with a speech that repeated his 2004 DNC convention theme: nationalism, unity, and an end to partisan divisiveness.
- The day he secured the Democratic nomination for President he did it again; focused on nationalism, unity, and an end to partisan divisiveness.
- When he accepted the Democratic nomination for President, he gave a speech that some media swooners said was one of the greatest of the ages; another speech that focused on nationalism, unity, and an end to partisan divisiveness.
- Lastly, when he won the election, his acceptance speech focused on nationalism, unity, and an end to partisan divisiveness.
Throughout the Presidential campaign, Senator Obama repeatedly said that one opponent or another didn’t “get it.” The truth of the matter is that his core base of supporters are the ones who don’t “get it.” They cheered at calls for nationalism, unity, and an end to partisan divisiveness, but in reality…they never cared about nationalism, unity, or an end to partisan divisiveness. Nah. They just wanted a guy w a D to win, and now that he has…it’s back to the party before patriotism way. It’s back to the petty partisan divide. It’s not Hillary Clinton or George Bush or John McCain or Sarah Palin who don’t “get it.” It’s the partisan hacks who are still playing games.
What are these people going to do for a muse when their “terrorist-in-chief” is gone? Even their protest art, fueled by such all-consuming righteous indignation, has proven banal and predictable at every turn, fraught with hackneyed Hitler imagery and the occasional bodily fluid. How very 1990s.
Because one of the things that we have to change in our politics is the idea that people cannot disagree without challenging each other’s character and patriotism.

Included in those who didn’t “get it” would be the idiot, Jim McDermitt who, after seeing it, sent it on to the WH. He obviously didn’t pay attention to his party leader’s message either. Shocked, I am not.
Ah yes, Baghdad Jim is her hero. Maybe if we had universal health care people like the “artist” would get the mental help they need (sarcasm). Probably not.
If I was chosen to have some of my artwork to be displayed at the WH, I wouldn’t put something nasty on it even though I don’t like obama. If you don’t like the person in the position, have some respect for the WH and the time of the season at least.
I think it could make an appearance in Barney’s final Christmas video, when Barney runs past the tree and accidentally causes the ornament to fall to the floor and shatter. No?
Wally, I think Barney and Miz Beasley should leave a little present after it falls 😉
saw an interview with her on my local news, she wondered if because her orniment isn’t being used if she still gets to go to the banquet or whatever for the artists. she was pissed because they aren’t using it. then she said it better be returned to her because she wants to sale the damn thing and has people wanting to buy the offencive ornament. she looked all granola eating, tree hugging freaky.
So true! Not that a Democratic illuminati has won all the promises seem to be out the window and i am afraid the Dems will be back to their old selves. I am willing to Give Obama a shot, i don’t want to judge just yet but i am loosing the hope he sold highly instilled in us during his campaign.
Luva, I’d like to tell her where she can put her ornament. Love how she has the nerve to ask if she gets to go to the banquent. Liberals are very much like children that never grow up.
Speaking of “leaving a little present”…
How about if next Christmas conservatives play Democrat Claus and do the disrespect angle for a change? Like do up some home-made “Mr. Hanky” [(c) Comedy Central] style Christmas ornaments for the tree (or maybe it would be Kwanza?). Each could feature the face of a different Democratic or RINO politician?
“Hidie Ho!”
I mean, fair is fair. Why is it only Dems are allowed to be crude and obnoxious? After all, it seems to me excrement art is something libs just can’t get enough?:
They’re showing Human Waste art in London to make a statement about the lower classes in India:

Why there’s a world of conceptual art out there that has been a realm solely tapped by liberals “making statements” for a good 40 years. And we could even make it fun. How about these party ideas for your next Cinco de’ Mayo or kid’s birthday party? Pin the handcuffs on Ayers? A paper mache’ Obama piñata? You could hand out Troll Dolls as party favors. Here’s some more “Political Party” ideas:
1) Liberal-Liberal-Socialist – Played exactly like Duck-Duck-Goose.
2) Guess What’s in the Bill – Similar to 20 Questions. You have rolled up papers with pictures or a statement (which can be written on the inside of the paper “keeper” for whoever is “it” to read to themselves) and the audience has to guess what’s on it, pantomimes may be used to help. An alternate version could be played like Pictionary or Win, Lose, or Draw.
3) Bobbing For Pork – Precook hot dogs. Once they’ve cooled, put them in a tub of lukewarm water.
4) Moonbat Hunt – Paint goofy faces on hard-boiled eggs, attach some paper chiroptera wings and hide them around the house or yard.
5) Pass the Buck – Like Hot Potato, but you use an egg timer & dollar bill. Who ever gets caught with the money is out. When everyone else is eliminated the last one pockets it it and laughs all the way to the bank.
6) Fox Exposes MSNBC Bias – Everyone gathered in a circle and “the Fox” whispers a message into the first person’s ear. They whisper to the next person in line and around it goes until the last person stands up and announces the Media rumor. Then have the Fox commentator (the first message giver) announce the “real story”.
For the “old” teens & single adults:
Intern Ecstasy – Pair people up and give them a random number of minutes alone in a dark closet. Before the door is suddenly thrown open catching them at whatever they were up to.
Rocky, the folks in Barcelona are already busy. They mean well, but I think the Obamas might find themselves in a delicate foreign policy situation should the people in Barcelona decide to donate their “caganer” to the Obama’s 2009 Christmas celebration:
“Figurines known as “caganer” of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama are sold at the Santa Llucia Christmas market in central Barcelona December 1, 2008. Catalans hide “caganers”, or defecators, in Christmas Nativity scenes then invite friends to hunt for them during Christmas celebrations. The “caganers”, which symbolise defecating and fertilizing the earth, are believed to bring prosperity and luck for the coming year.”

Signed up for OpenID, but I’m still in time out. Might be a good idea with this one.

Rocky, I like it. We really need to mock the left more and get it out into the public conciousness. Make them embarrased to be called progressives. We did this with “liberal”.
Thanks Missy; Got a good chuckle from the pic and a couple of stories posted there:

The Obamas are known to have given hardly squat to charity until they realized people were watching, yet these skinflint millionaires only give their daughters a $1 a week for an allowance (Provided they do their chores) and usually no birthday and Christmas presents. I guess those promised tax handouts to the lower classes, to bribe them into voting for him were further jokes on his supporters.

Besides a possible return of the erotica and drug paraphanalia (Crack Pipe) ornaments Hillary put on the White House Christmas tree in 1994, I wonder if she will get the Obama’s okay to bring “Bertha” into the White House again for the tours:
