"PETA to Obama: Don't Pardon the Turkey"; Animal Rights Group Accuses Obama of "Being in Partnership with the Turkey-Killing Industry" For Going Forward with the Annual Ceremony...


[The turkey having wings is the one pictured above on the left]

That's rather odd.  While the effect of conducting the annual presidential turkey pardoning ceremony is actually to save one of "gentle, intelligent [yet tasty] birds," PETA wants Obama to have no part in the whole affair.

Obama for his part has always done the ceremony and probably will again this year -- although maybe his views have "evolved" in this area too, especially now that he's largely unaccountable (errr, in his second term).

Regardless, I have a separate question for PETA, which I've always sort of wondered:  I know your position against eating game and domesticated animals, but what say you, PETA, when it comes to the whole issue of human cannibals gettin' their grub on with fellow humans?

Do you turn a blind calf's eye to that sort of thing since there aren't really any "animals" involved (except in the most technical of senses)?

If not, and if you do oppose the practice of putting a grown man in a stew or through a meat grinder (it happens, as previously detailed in this space), then why have I never heard you say word one about it, PETA?  The silence is truly deafening over here.  Nary a gobble, gobble.

"Why Are Retailers Ruining Thanksgiving?", Laments Website After Many Retailers Plan to Start "Black Friday" on Thursday This Year. But There's a Very Simple Solution (As Usual)...


I loved this foolishness from website Marketwatch.com early this week:

"Say goodbye to Thanksgiving -- and Black Friday while you're at it.  Retailers are wrecking holiday time for shoppers and shop workers alike. This year will see unprecedented move by the big boys of retail to open their stores earlier than ever on Thanksgiving Day, putting pressure on traditions -- from indulging in an oversize dinner to loafing around watching football -- that many families hold sacred."

Good Grief -- You'd think that "Christmas Break" had just been turned into "Winter Break" or something!

Memo to Marketwatch and anyone out there who's about to let retailers "ruin" their Thanksgiving by being "forced" to attend "Black Friday" sales on Thursday:  Then Don't Go, For Chrissakes! Stay the Hell Home! Only an idiot would let "Black Friday" sales on Thursday dictate his/her actions that day.

For the record, I'm all for finding cheap deals and sales (I Love that sort of thing!), but I've never been able to get into the mass hysteria and "everyone's doing it" mentality that is "Black Friday."  Thus, I've never gone out shopping that day. Not once. And I sure as hell won't be doing so on Thursday.

Nope, I'll be lying around stuffed, probably watching "Walking Dead" or "Boardwalk Empire" reruns, and laughing at local news coverage of all the fools out there standing in long "Black Friday" lines on Thanksgiving. I'd just like to thank them in advance for the entertainment.

A Harsh (Homeless) Indictment? Cop in Florida Tosses Hobo in the Hoosegow for Having the Gall to Charge Up His Cell Phone at a Public Park!


I guess my first response to this story (link below) would be: If you don't want members of the public using the electrical sockets at a public park picnic shelter, then don't put those sockets in the publicly available shelter to begin with!  Jeezal Peezal, the matter of good government and policin' ain't rocket science.

But that didn't stop a cop in Sarasota, Florida last week from throwing the book at a hobo (a regular Al Capone over there) who was trying to charge up the ol' cell on the public dime down at the Gillespie Park picnic rotunda...

"Theft of city utilities will not be tolerated during this bad economy!", the cop reportedly bellowed at the bum before heaving the tramp in the can for the night.  And I see copper's point:  That cell charge probably took the City to the tune of, what, maybe 3 or 4 cents?

The vagabond couldn't afford the $500 bond and had to spend the night in the stir.  But alas, a happy ending:  The hobo's now been set free "after a judge threw the case out, saying the [cop] lacked the legal justification to make the arrest." Sure ain't no picnic, being a vagrant (or much of anyone else) in 2012 America.

I Don't Call Them Deranged Right-Wingers for Nothin'!: First Obama Was a Muslim, Then He Was Born in Kenya, & Now He'll Be Seeking a Third Term Just Like FDR!


The right-winger gop-er types have to be pulling their hair out over the past week over how in the hell they could have lost a presidential election to the hapless likes of the most leftist president (and one of the worst presidents) in American history in the midst of a still absolutely rotten economy.  Hell, it even had me shaking my head.  But here's a major reason why:  So many of these right-winger gop-ers are absolutely nuts! Who would want to vote for them!  To wit:

There seems over the past week to be this new right-winger undercurrent of sentiment claiming that Obama's going to hatch a seedy plan to garner a third term as president!  (No word yet whether he'll launch his third term candidacy in his native Kenya while pointing his snout towards Mecca).  I even heard a damn paid right-winger advertisement on the radio yesterday warning about an Obama third term!

Of course, any Obama "third term" claim or prediction qualifies as prima facie evidence of DSM-IV mental illness.  A little item commonly referred to as the 22nd Amendment would stand in Obama's way.  It would take the passage of a new constitutional Amendment to repeal the 22nd Amendment -- a nearly impossible task that will never occur, since its effect would be to permit a third term for the incredibly divisive political figure that is Obama. A two-thirds vote in both the U.S. House and Senate?  With three-fourths of the states ratifying?  Puh-lease.

But the right-wingers can't help themselves, it seems, with this sort of demented talk.  Just like the leftists in the democrat party, they suffer from this incredible incapability of ever letting simple truths and facts get in the way of their kooky ideas, fears and objectives.  Silly extremists.

"I Have Yet to Find One Crime Josef Stalin Committed!", Proclaims Leftist College Professor in New Jersey. Get This Guy on the White House Payroll!


Of course, no sane historian on the left or right would ever dispute it:  Communist Soviet dictator Josef Stalin was responsible for the murders and deaths (millions of them) of more people than perhaps any other slimeball in world history apart from Adolph Hitler.  Stalin is one of a handful of the most evil men who've ever lived.

But why let universal truths get in the way of a good leftist diatribe or rant?!?  Thus this week we get some leftist 20 percenter goof named Grover Furr (who sounds like something from a bad "Elmo's World" segment; pictured above) sticking up for and extolling the virtues of the deceased Russian madman dictator.

Appearing at some sort of on-campus Montclair State University debate (link below), an audience member asked Grover Furr what he thought about Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's apology in 1956 for the mass murders that occurred under Stalin's regime: 

"That's Bullshit!", snarled a suddenly riled up Grover Furr.  "I have spent many years researching this and similar questions, and I have yet to find one crime that Stalin committed!", he added.

Now, methinks the White House and democrat party need to get this leftist cat signed up.  And I'm talking yesterday.  This fool's got the right stuff.  The stuff of legends, such as that exhibited by the likes of David Axelrod, Stephanie Cutter, Robert Gibbs, Patty "Wasserman" Simpson, and San Fran Nan...

It's a rare talent, after all, who is not only able (1) to spew glaring untruths easily capable of being proven false, but also (2) to come across as actually believing those words as they ooze out his/her piehole.

So ladies and gentlemen, I give the next White House press secretary -- Grover Furr.  Besides, Jay Carney really looks like he could use some rest over there. (Word has it Carney's even mumbling, "The Video," in his sleep these days).

No Brotherly Love? Romney Reportedly Loses 59 Voting Divisions in Philadelphia by a Vote of 19,605 to ZERO in Favor of Obama!



A similar phenomenon also played out in myriad Ohio precincts.  All this "despite little hard evidence of [voter] fraud," proclaims the Philadelphia Inquirer.  Oh.  Well in that case -- guess that one's cleared up.  Nothin' to see over there.  What evidence?

"Stay Away from My Guy!": Did General Betray-Us, Or Betray-Her? Or Both? And Regardless, What a Hot Little Blue-Eyed Number!


He's certainly come a long way (or maybe not) from the days of leftist propaganda website "MoveOn.org" notoriously proclaiming of the then-Iraqi Commander General and the "surge" in forces: "Is It General Petraeus, or Did General Betray-Us?" Unfortunately, for him, however, betrayal is still at the very heart of the sordid current controversy surrounding the (not so) good General...

Want the CliffsNotes version?  Here it is (links at bottom):
  •  The 60-year-old Petraeus is a former four-star General and Commander in Iraq and Afghanistan who retired from the military in 2011 to become Director of the CIA.

  • Petraeus (a self-proclaimed gop-er republic partisan) has been married almost 40 years and has two adult children.

  • Petraeus' biography came out earlier this year, entitled "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus" and authored by above-pictured 40-year-old career military hottie Paula Broadwell -- who's also married with two young sons.

  • It turns out that Broadwell herself had something to with Petraeus' "Education," since the General was (by his own admission) banging this broad Broadwell for months in 2011 and 2012. ("Just a soccer mom having a good time," Broadwell actually told the Don Imus radio show on Monday -- Good Grief!).

  • With Petraeus' guilt (among other things) swelling to the surface, he resigned as CIA Director last Friday.

  • But Petraeus' hand was forced (at least when it wasn't on Broadwell's ass) by the results of a recent FBI investigation, and he may now reportedly face criminal charges related to the admitted affair:

  • Enter 37-year-old Jill Kelley (not too bad looking herself; pictured below) -- a State Department/military "social liaison" and all-around "socialite." It's not at all clear whether Petraeus was boning that babe (also married with three kids) as well, but this much is clear: Broadwell thought he was.
  • To wit: Broadwell, apparently thinking herself to be a spurned mistress, reportedly fired off a slew of threatening emails to Kelley with such commentary as, "Stay away from my guy!", "I know what you did," and "Back off." 

  • So Kelley went to the FBI, which reportedly traced the emails to Broadwell and also "in the process discovered tawdry messages between [Broadwell] and Petraeus" describing their elicit affair, including wild talk about "sex under the desk" (OH MY!).

  • Finally, the AP reported Monday that Petraeus' longtime wife Holly "is not exactly pleased right now" over this situation (where would we be without the AP to tell us these things?!?), with "furious [being] an understatement," according to a family friend.
Now, this raunchy story has also crossed over into the slimeball realm of the gop-er republic partisan party and the democrat party, with questions over:
  • First, whether the FBI suppressed this story until after the election; and 

  • Second, whether this was some kind of sleazy maneuver to try to keep Petraeus from needing to testify in an upcoming congressional hearing over the Obama administration's so-called "handling" of the Benghazi terrorist attack -- including this week's new angle (straight from Broadwell's words during a recent public appearance; oh, the tentacles of all this!) over whether the Obama CIA's holding of Libyan prisoners in Benghazi caused the terrorist attack (in order to free said prisoners), as opposed to the story to which Obama and his minions clung for 1-2 weeks after 9-11, i.e., "The Video, The Video and (Even More) The Video".
Make no mistake, however: This story's only become big national headlines this week because of sex, celebrity, infidelity and betrayal (mostly sex and celebrity, truth be told).  Most Americans seem to care about little more than those sorts of issues, anymore. (But I'll roll with it, on occasion, when in the mood).

Daniel Craig Says James Bond's Not Gay, & George Clooney's Sister Says George Ain't Gay. But Whom Am I Gonna Get to Speak Up on My Behalf?


Both of those stories (links below) were from late last week.  Since for some reason the act of affirming that one's not gay seems to be all the rage in Hollywood right now, I'm left to ponder what high-profile public figure can I get to put in a word or two for me on my sexuality?

When one doesn't exactly know any high-profile public figures to begin with, it makes for a pretty tall chore that I'm facing over here.  But one time at rat trap I did talk to a dude whom I swore was William H. Macy at a bar (although he denied that it was him). 

What do you think of the chances that ol' Willie might help me out if I can get him on the blower? And would it make any difference to this whole equation whether or not the particular joint in question was a gay bar?  And what if I was sporting a pompadour and a pink cumberbun at the time?

A Nation Gone to the Dogs? "Controversy" Erupts as "Health Group Scolds Obama" for Eating Hot Dogs & Other Junk Food in Public...



The message she gives to the nation's kids is "Let's Move!", meaning cut way back on your calories and eat a bunch of fruits and vegetables.  New federal regulations now require it of school lunches...

Apparently, however, the same message is never given to Michelle Obama's old man, who's garnering more sharp rebukes for his own diet this week after shoving a whole host of hot dogs, cheesesteaks, barbecue and pizza down his piehole on the campaign trail during the past few weeks.

But before one can so much as utter the phrase, "do as we say and not as we do," some group called the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says it ain't gonna take this kind of thing any longer! The group is imploring Obama to institute an immediate "dispensation" of his habit of "eating junk food in public now that the election season is over."

But not everyone's in agreement.  "Let the president eat his hot dog!", bellowed the Center for Consumer Freedom (a trade group funded by the restaurant, food and beverage industries).  For good measure, the Center is apparently ready to go to war with the PCRM, calling that outfit a "phony doctors group" with a "covert vegan agenda" (of all the agendas to be accused of!).

The linked story also goes out of its way to point out past criticisms of the PCRM's "provocative campaigns," which reportedly included a slew of billboards that read, "Hot Dogs Cause Butt Cancer!"

So things are gettin' uglier here than a ladle of sauerkraut sloshed over a Brainard Bratwurst.  And stinking almost as bad as that brat would be this "story," methinks.  What national debt?

"I'm So Glad We Had that Storm Last Week," Spouts Leftist Chris Matthews on Obama's Reelection. I Couldn't Get Away With That!


Matthews' statement was in reference to the perceived bounce that Obama got from Hurricane Sandy after Obama showed up for a couple of hours in New Jersey to be photographed embracing fat-ass gop-er governor Chris Christie.  Since the storm apparently helped Obama, the storm (which killed over 110 people) was only a good thing in Matthews' estimation.

You know, if I was to make such a statement in front of a client, my employer (which is a diverse mix of both parties) would likely give me my walking papers right there on the spot.  But hardly anyone notices when Matthews utters that sort of thing on national TV.

If only I wasn't so intellectually opposed the leftist world view, I might be tempted to join up with these leftist 20 percenters and the democrat party.  After all, these dudes pretty much get away with saying just about anything, no matter how ugly, inappropriate, insensitive, or moronic.  We just watched an entire campaign chock full of these types of statements from the leftists (as documented in this space).  How 'bout giving me a stacked deck like that just once in my life!

Four More Rotten Years (Goin' On 16). But We Still Have Gridlock, Sweet Gridlock...


I recall waking up the day after Election Day 2008 quite terrified.  The leftist democrat party suddenly had complete control of the federal government, with the presidency and super-majorities in the Senate and House.  That ain't the case today.  Not by a long-shot.  We're still in a close position to where we've been since the 2010 Midterms, meaning the presidency, House and Senate divided between these two rotten, corrupt, extreme-controlled, out-of-touch parties (known as the democrat party and the republic partisan "gop-er" party).  I never want to see either of these two archaic relic parties again have the kind of total control that was the nightmare of 2009 and part of 2010.

As for Obama, I think he's one of the two worst presidents of my lifetime, along with W Bush, and he will undoubtedly continue the path of he and W running this great country right into the ground over the next four years with untold additional federal spending, debt and deficits (not to mention a healthy dose of incessant leftist 20 percenter divisiveness and bullshit).  His Obamacare monstrosity will only intensify the impact. The American people seem oblivious, and there's little I can do about that except to just keep on expressing.  And whether I do that here or elsewhere, I'll never stop.

I've Waited Until the Last Possible Moment to Give My Official Endorsement in the 2012 Presidential Race. And Here It Is...



...NONE OF THE ABOVE.

That's correct, I'm officially going on record with how I will vote tomorrow.  And, just like every presidential election since 1992 (when a slimeball named Bill Clinton hoodwinked a young, dumb Rager into voting for him), I will be voting third party candidate (any third party candidate) on Tuesday.  There's typically at least a few there to choose from, and one of them will get my vote.

As always, I refuse to make a lesser-of-two-evils choice between two democrat party and gop-er candidates, whom I don't much care for, based on some lofty notion of "civic duty" (put another way, I won't act like these two parties want me to act).  Instead, I will cast a protest vote against this molding, disgusting two-party political system and the steady stream of assclowns that the two parties foist in front of us.

As for King Flipflopper Romney, I refuse to vote for any person whom I believe doesn't truly stand for much of anything.  I totally get not voting for Romney, and I won't be either, but let me ask this:  Unless you're a part of the leftist 20 percenter base of the democrat party, how in the hell could one ever vote for Obama, especially after witnessing his hapless presidency over the last four years?

Let him/her who has understanding and ears hear me now, for I am not just spouting my Independent talking points at this moment:  Obama is the most left-wing president in American history in a 2012 America that is only 20% leftist.  He seeks a radical transformation of the Constitutionally-based American republic into a far leftist, quasi-socialist, western European-type state that hates individuals and embraces mindless group-thinking subjects.  That ain't America.  Leastways, not one this Independent ever wants to live in.

The point here is that there are other options, even if you view (as I do) voting for Romney as not being one of them.  The third-party route, as a conviction-based protest and rebellion against our rotten two-party political system and the tone-deaf two parties that inhabit it, is the option I choose to exercise.  I realize most won't do the same.  But please, at least reject the brainwashed notion that you have some "duty" to anyone or anything to pick between the leftist democrat party and the right-winger gop-ers.  You don't.  Since we're still, for the moment, the Land of the Free.

Prediction: Pain. Don't Look for the Presidential Election Winner to be Decided Tuesday Night...



...The race is just too close, and expect "shit" (and plenty of it) to happen.  There will almost certainly be one or more states where the losing side legally contests an apparent razor-thin loss (calling for recounts, filing lawsuits, etc.).  There are certain to be widespread allegations on both sides of voter fraud and improper voter disfranchisement -- again potentially involving lawsuits or other legal maneuvering.

And then there's Ohio.  That state may be to 2012 what Florida was to 2000, meaning the outcome there decides who wins, and that outcome is going to be very tight.  And alas: There was a story from Ohio Thursday (link below) claiming that a "little known change" in Ohio election law may mean that 250,000 or more "provisional" ballots cannot be legally counted in Ohio until TEN DAYS after the damn election (thereby possibly holding up the national result)!!!

Regardless, just expect plenty of electoral mayhem and chaos Tuesday night (absent one of these two joker candidates opening up a bit of a lead in the final days, which I don't see happening).  American politics has never been uglier or more extreme than it is today, and expect nothing less than a close election Tuesday bringing out every bit of ugliness that these two rotten parties (not to mention the leftist "mainstream" media and right-winger blogosphere) can possibly muster up.  You've been warned.

Obama Campaign Website Puts Romney in Dunce Cap. But Exactly Whom Are They Trying to Appeal to With That?


The picture went up on the Obama campaign site on Friday, and I spent the weekend trying to figure out whom the hell the democrat party is trying to reach with such sophomoric stuff.  And here's about the best answer that I could come up with:  First Graders.

So yesterday, and inspired by a recent watching of The Godfather, I got the democrat party on the blower and I says to 'em, I says, I says, "Are you naive, democrat party? First graders can't vote."

To which the democrat party responded, "Now who's being naive, Rager? They'll be voting in Ohio."

democrat party Reportedly Offers Up Free Pizza to Students to Vote. But No Free Pizza Is Going to Buy My Damn Vote...


The "free pizza" allegation was made this week by Colorado right-winger gop-ers, who say democrat party people were too close to an early voting station at Colorado State University and were offering free pizza to students to vote (see sign/table above), in violation of state law (link below).  Of course, college students (when they vote) vote overwhelmingly for the democrat party.

Now I must say, what a completely cheap way to try to buy a person's vote.  How completely crass and inappropriate.  Not that I might not have a price for the Million Dollar MAN, myself (sorry for the double negative, Jeeves).  Wanna offer up a free White Castle Crave Case (with cheese) for my vote, democrat party?  If so, you gots me at hello over here.

October Sur-Slimes: Right-Winger Donald Trump & Leftist Gloria Allred Set to Try to Unleash Alleged Dirt on Romney & Obama Today, Less Than Two Weeks Before the Election. Creep-Jobs!


As I first flagged in this space on Monday, leftist 20 percenter attorney Gloria Allred is poised to try to spring an "October Surprise" on Mitt Romney -- and reportedly as early as today as she heads to court in Massachusetts to try to bully a judge into unsealing Romney testimony (and lifting a witness gag order) from some past court proceeding.  Meantime, crazy right-winger Trump similarly says he has an "October Surprise" of his own in store for Obama today -- reportedly in the form of past divorce papers of Barack and Michelle Obama.  (Links below; obviously no coincidence both of these two rotten so-called "stories" are jumpin' off on the same day).

This sort of thing is truly slimeball stuff.  Not only tabloid-style material on the substance (or at least it would seem), but also information upon which these two partisan pariahs of attention-grabbing have apparently held on to until the last minute to try to have some small, pathetic lout impact on the election results.

Worse yet, perhaps, is the highly predictable response that will come from most leftists and right-wingers, with each side applauding the jackass on their side (Trump or Allred) while feigning outrage over the jackass on the other side for the very same actions.  Our two illustrious political parties of sleaze and hypocrisy on full display.  And I'm the fool for choosing to be an Independent!

[Late Monday Postscript:  The Trump end of this turned out to be a lot of nothing: Trump promising to donate $5 million to charity if Obama releases his educational records.  What a joke.  The Allred matter, in contrast, seems a lot more real, but is still ongoing, with another court hearing within a day or two on the issue of whether Romney's testimony from a divorce proceeding of a friend years ago will be unsealed.  Best I can tell, the testimony (if unsealed) would give Obama new material for PAC ads (accusations of Romney not being honest concerning the value of a company in order to help a friend), but not much more than that.  Interestingly, the Romney camp is claiming at this point that Romney doesn't even oppose the release of the testimony.]

Final Presidential Debate Was a Tale of 3.5 Debates: Romney Gets the Win Overall From 2 Parts Huge Stalemate on Foreign Policy, 1.5 Part Clear Romney Victory When Obama Foolishly Opened the Door Wide Open on Domestic Issues...



I.  Debate Commentary

The first third and most of the final third of this debate focused almost exclusively on foreign policy (in what was supposed to be a foreign policy debate), and I found it to be mostly very boring (with Romney with an apparent strategy to agree with Obama on a lot of points) and a complete stalemate -- both guys scoring points equally.  On that score, I thought it was a big mistake for Romney not to take on Obama's Libyan disaster and the Obama administration's obvious dishonesty during the course of that ugly sequence of events and explanations.

But I thought Obama made a big mistake himself by opening the door wide open in the second third of the debate (and in the final half of the of the final third) on domestic economic issues, which I thought Romney clearly won.  In those portions, Romney was his very solid self as he was in the first 2 debates, while Obama was mediocre and somewhere between (1) his rather weak and (2) much improved performance on domestic issues in the first 2 debates.  My question for Obama would be:  If you weren't as prepared to go lively on domestic issues tonight as you were obviously prepared to go aggressive on foreign policy (where you had plenty of canned, prepared, rehearsed one-liners ready to go about bayonets and "same rules" [errr, wait!]), then why open up the door so much on domestic issues, particularly in the second third of the debate?

At the end of the night, I thought Obama tonight could've really used his first distinct victory of the three debates in order to repel some of the recent Romney momentum, but Obama simply didn't get that.  And Romney, too, didn't knock the ball out of the park either, although he won by default through the domestic, economic portions of the debate, not to mention having an incessantly pleasant look on his face and in his tone in contrast to Obama's constant split-screen sneering (see pics at top) and occasional rude interrupting and condescending smiling (which I thought did Obama no favors, although he also didn't take things to the extreme like Biden did).  [Sorry, leftists, but my fellow Independents will decide this election outcome (whatcha gonna do, try to "kill" us all?), and this paragraph very much gets at some of those Independent sentiments.]

That being said, this debate was no "game changer," and I still predict an extremely close election result two weeks from today -- with me continuing to surmise greatly a popular vote victor (very perhaps, Romney) who does not win the electoral vote.  Truth be told, regardless of who wins, I don't want to see a split decision like that.  I think that's disastrous for the country (much like 2000), lends ammunition for partisan extremists on both sides to go around claiming "illegimate president" for four years, and it's the reason why I'd like to see an end to the electoral college.

II.  Obama Lines That Made Me Laugh Out Loud

Regardless of what you thought about the outcome of tonight's debate, Obama -- likely the most left-wing president in American history -- continued his penchant for making me laugh out loud (not an easy thing to do, as oft-stated by me) at all of the crazy leftist 20 percenter and disingenuous things that come out his mouth.  To wit (as usual, these are based on notes, and not necessarily word-for-word, but pretty close):

-"We can't do nation building [in the Middle East.]"  [This after Obama got us involved militarily in Libya to effect regime change, not to mention continuing to keep us involved in an inherent "nation building" effort in Afghanistan, which has now become the longest foreign war in American history].

-"America remains the world's one indispensable nation."  [Giving token lip service to American exceptionalism, Mr. "President," does little to make me believe your words, or to think you're anywhere in the league of the last great American president (JFK), or to counter the Mittster's direct quotes from your so-called "Apology Tour" in the Middle East for alleged past American transgressions.  I noticed how you completely changed the subject once King Flipflopper hit you with those direct quotes.  Busted!].

-"We have engaged in unprecedented cooperation with Israel."  [Mr. "President," we know you don't care a whole hell of a lot for our Israeli brothers, and your actions of the past 4 years have only established and reinforced that truth.  Equally making me laugh tonight was Obama pointing to a pre-presidency trip to Israel (in 2007 or 2008) as the greatest example of his outreach to our Jewish friends in Israel.  Pretty pathetic stuff, dude.]

-"We refocused our efforts on Afghanistan when we came into office!"  [This was particularly funny, since Obama did absolutely nothing on Afghanistan during his first year in office, offering up no plan for our involvement there through that extremely bloody year there that took countless lives of American boys of all races and ethnicities.  He should've been a leader one way or the other:  Either gotten us the hell out of that shithole immediately or at the very least had a plan from Day 1 to stop the killings of our American Warriors.  Hundreds of American killings later, Obama suddenly showed some interest in a "surge" there.  That's not leadership.  That's one of the two worst presidents of my lifetime (along with W Bush) in full effect.]

-"China needs to play on a level playing field and play by the same rules as everyone else!"  [Here, a tiring Obama, towards the end of the debate, seemed to be mixing up his tired old domestic policy talking points with foreign policy.  I was just waitin' over here for him to accuse the Chinese of not paying their "fair share" of taxes!  This one had me really rolling, quite like the entire Obama presidency has accomplished.  Thanks for all the bad memories and big laughs, Obama -- really though!]
