Inquiring minds want to know. According to Michelle Malkin, Ms. E.L. is an example of this Astroturf presidency. As usual, MM does a fine job of laying out not only this particular piece, but how it fits in so conveniently with the rest of Der Organiser’s ongoing campaign.
Sabrina Eaton at the Plain Dealer and Ben Smith at Politico have more…
And of course there are bumper stickers, Michelle!
How does the sound of Palin-Bachmann 2012 sound? Liberals can laugh, but imagine the power of two unabashed, outspoken conservative women leading the Republican party back to its base and into the White House?
We may get a taste of that ticket at the First National Tea Party Convention Feb 4 - 6 in at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. Convention organizers have invited former governor and future president Sarah Palin to keynote the event and she has accepted.
Rep. Michele Bachmann is also listed as a breakfast speaker.
Looking forward to these outstanding women getting together and making history!
We’ve been asked to add our popular “Why yes, I do shoot like a girl” design to women’s apparel on our zazzle storefront and we couldn’t agree more. We had previously only offered this on bumper stickers.
Now, just in time for Christmas, you can get that special someone the perfect gift to wear while shopping or going about town. Even if that special someone is yourself!
In pardoning “Courage”, President Obama makes light of the economic situation by mocking his own office’s now infamous “created or saved” rhetoric. Mr. Obama included in his remarks (1:50 into the clip below):
So today, all told, I believe it’s fair to say that we have saved or created four turkeys. (Laughter.)
Nothing like throwing a little humor on people’s misery to make them feel better.
Imagine if President Bush had been this callous during such hard times.
Full text:
Now, the National Turkey Federation has been bringing its finest turkeys to the White House for more than 50 years. I’m told Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson actually ate their turkeys. You can’t fault them for that; that’s a good-looking bird. (Laughter.) President Kennedy was even given a turkey with a sign around its neck that said, “Good Eatin’, Mr. President.” But he showed mercy and he said, “Let’s keep him going.” And 20 years ago this Thanksgiving, the first President Bush issued the first official presidential pardon for a turkey.
Today, I am pleased to announce that thanks to the interventions of Malia and Sasha — because I was planning to eat this sucker — (laughter) — “Courage” will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate. Later today, he’ll head to Disneyland, where he’ll be grand marshal of tomorrow’s parade. And just in case “Courage” can’t fulfill his responsibilities, Walter brought along another turkey, “Carolina,” as an alternate, the stand-in.
Now, later this afternoon, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I will take two of their less fortunate brethren to Martha’s Table, an organization that does extraordinary work to help folks here in D.C. who need it the most. And I want to thank Jaindl’s Turkey Farm in Orefield, Pennsylvania, for donating those dressed birds for dinner. So today, all told, I believe it’s fair to say that we have saved or created four turkeys. (Laughter.)
You know, there are certain days that remind me of why I ran for this office. And then there are moments like this — (laughter) — where I pardon a turkey and send it to Disneyland. (Laughter.) But every single day, I am thankful for the extraordinary responsibility that the American people have placed in me. I am humbled by the privilege that it is to serve them, and the tremendous honor it is to serve as Commander-in-Chief of the finest military in the world — and I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to every service member at home or in harm’s way. We’re proud of you and we are thinking of you and we’re praying for you.
When my family and I sit around the table tomorrow, just like millions of other families across America, we’ll take time to give our thanks for many blessings. But we’ll also remember this is a time when so many members of our American family are hurting. There’s no question this has been a tough year for America. We’re at war. Our economy is emerging from an extraordinary recession into recovery. But there’s a long way to go and a lot of work to do.
In more tranquil times, it’s easy to notice our many blessings. It’s even easier to take them for granted. But in times like these, they resonate a bit more powerfully. When President Lincoln set aside the National Day of Thanksgiving for the first time — to celebrate America’s “fruitful fields,” “healthful skies,” and the “strength and vigor” of the American people — it was in the midst of the Civil War, just when the future of our very union was most in doubt. So think about that. When times were darkest, President Lincoln understood that our American blessings shined brighter than ever.
This is an era of new perils and new hardships. But we are, as ever, a people of endless compassion, boundless ingenuity, limitless strength. We’re the heirs to a hard-earned history and stewards of a land of God-given beauty. We are Americans. And for all this, we give our humble thanks — to our predecessors, to one another, and to God.
So on this quintessentially American holiday, as we give thanks for what we’ve got, let’s also give back to those who are less fortunate. As we give thanks for our loved ones, let us remember those who can’t be with us. And as we give thanks for our security, let’s in turn thank those who’ve sacrificed to make it possible, wherever they may be.
Now, before this turkey gets too nervous that Bo will escape and screw up this pardon — (laughter) — or before I change my mind, I hereby pardon “Courage” so that he can live out the rest of his days in peace and tranquility in Disneyland.
And to every American, I want to wish you, on behalf of myself, Malia, Sasha, and Michelle, the happiest of Thanksgivings. Thank you very much, everybody. (Applause.)
Man, when you’re so communist that the communists don’t want you to be labeled as a communist, you’re a communist!
Seems the Communist Chinese cracked down on “Oba Mao” shirts for Comrade Barack’s visit so as not to embarrass him back home.
Of course, that depends on where he would be considered to be more “at home”. I’m sure he’s envious of the power to be able to make businesses do whatever the government wants. Oh wait, that’s now awaiting a Senate vote.
Christmas will soon be here and you’d better get your cards before it’s too late! Everyone deserves a little holiday joy, even the ACLU. These Christmas cards have “And I heard him exclaim to the world as they flew, Merry Christmas to all…” on the front and “… even the ACLU.” on the inside. A great holiday treat to everyone on your list, conservative and liberal alike.

Nobel: FAIL
Nobel LOL
Wish in One Hand, Peace Prize in the Other
And our favorite:
If the 2007 Nobel “Peace” Prize to Albert Gore or environmental alarmism wasn’t enough to do it in, then this is certainly the death blow to the Nobel Prize. That, or we’ve run out of accomplishments and now we must all praise and reward potential.
“The Nobel Peace Prize goes to President Barack Obama “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
That’s right. A Nobel for efforts. Not that there have actually been any real “efforts” either. There’s been talk of “hope” and of “change” but North Korea and now Iran are moving forward with nuclear proliferation, further endangering the lives of millions around the globe.
As Michelle Malkin wrote, it’s another testament to Obama’s “story” rather than any accomplishment.
Further, the Nobel site takes part in the hype by posting a poll asking if I know about Barack Obama’s efforts for a nuclear free world? I answered “yes” but couldn’t find the place to explain the ridiculousness of the “hope”. Where’s the poll asking if I think Barack Obama or my Great-Grandmother will have more influence on world peace? Or are the White House bloggers now working for the Nobel organization?
Is it too much to ask for there to be some actual movement toward peace rather than hope for it? The good news is, this heightens everyone’s chances for being a future Nobel Prize winner.
Dear Nobel Prize Committee,
I wish we could create true sustainable and cheap cold fusion that would safely power everything forever.
Me
OK, I guess I should start working on my acceptance speech. You know where to reach me.
Hillary Clinton (and President Obama) released videos to make sure we are all politically correct and appeasing our Muslim friends on this day of Eid ul-Fitr also known as “Eid”. Now I have no problem with recognizing that our country is “religion neutral” when it comes to our government and that we are a welcoming country that doesn’t persecute those of other religions. You know, like some of those, er… Muslim countries.
The problem is the lavish praise of Muslims that I don’t see coming from these people toward Christians. It’s that Ms. Clinton - not a known practicing Muslim at least - acts as if she is one. “I’m delighted to celebrate…” she says. Let’s see if this same tone comes from the White House about Christmas.
Hello, and Eid Mubarak. I’m delighted to celebrate the end of Ramadan by wishing all of you a happy Eid. In 1996, my husband and I were privileged to host the first ever White House Eid celebration, which has now become a tradition. And this year, I hosted an Iftar at the State Department, with Muslims and non-Muslims attending. We hope that reinforces every year that all faiths have a home here in the United States. For Muslims all over the world, Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of a holy month of fasting and prayer. This time of self-reflection reminds us that the values of Islam – charity, community, cooperation, compassion – are values which we hold dear as Americans and which have contributed so much to American culture. As President Obama said in Cairo, the United States seeks a new beginning with Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect. We know there is more that unites peoples of faith than divides us. So as Ramadan draws to a close, let us hold on to that spirit of community throughout the year to achieve our common goals of peace, prosperity, and stability. And I wish all of you a very happy year as well. Thank you.
Everyone is familiar with the courage of Joe Wilson, Republican representative from South Carolina. Simply put, he was right. And as a patriot, he was right to speak out. Without his outburst, the media would have glossed over the lies that had been put forth by President Obama. Now there is the opportunity for a platform, if the Republican leadership is willing to take it. Point out the lies of Obama. Point out that he actually called people liars in his own speech. Point out that he is the one that said he would call people out, and guess what? He got called out.
Show your support of Joe Wilson, a true patriot, with these shirts and stickers!
And more great Joe Wilson stickers here!
If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution
