LOL Obama, Daily 24 March 2010

No other comment needed, I think.

I may have altered the President's, and the Vice-President's heads slightly, but the smugness of their expressions was clearly visible in the original.

For those who don't follow basketball, here's a YouTube clip of Shaq's original rap

And, to be fair to Pete Souza, he wasn't completely fixated on the President's ass in his original photo (below). Just shows you the power of cropping (which is mentioned in this Gizmodo post, as well).

Enjoy your weekend, even as President Obama and Speaker Pelosi do everything in their power to screw it up.

For those too lazy to blow-up and flip the photo to see what the President's Weekend Agenda is, here it is:

1. Convince fellow Democrats to leap off the HCR cliff with me
2. Decry insurance companies while at the same time giving them a huge windfall by mandating health coverage
3. Invoke Karl Rove, that's always a good way to sell a Democratic proposal...
4. Bracket's already busted (damn you G'town!), screw up everyone else's NCAA Tourney viewing plans
5. Sanctimoniously lecture fellow Dems, ignore the GOP, and definitely ignore tens of thousands of citizens protesting our reform efforts.

Someone is getting screwed this weekend, either Obama/Pelosi are going to look like ineffectual lefties and screw up their self-perception, legacy, and support on the left, or they get things passed, and they're going to institute a massively unfair, mostly unpopular, and inevitably mismanaged and far more costly direction in health coverage, screwing Americans and our economy for years to come.

Turns out, all Nancy needed for her "Demon Pass" was horns. Seems she had the soulessness, generalized contempt for humanity, and crazed fixed stare already covered.

We are so screwed if she gets her way this weekend...

LOL Obama, Daily 16 March 2010

What am I saying here?

That Obama is recycling his campaign speeches and pretending that's a smart way to govern?

That it's time to recycle DC, and throw all the bums out?

That I'm learning how to play with layers, and went a bit overboard?

Almost forgot to link a post elsewhere about the NYT photo that this is a play on. Two weeks from now, no one will remember that stupid cross photo, so I'll post a copy below, and a link to the article that was illustrated by it (and is often the case, if something ends up being controversial, it disappears down the memory hole, the article no longer has a photo connected to it at NYT website)

Hey, Obama, and Doctors, and Nurses, and Other Medical Technicians, Lab Coats, Scrubs, and the Like, Should Be For Hospitals ONLY...

The NY Post points out (via Althouse, with her take on it here) that the Obama Adminstration in stage managing their doctor photo op prescribed the wearing of lab coats so that all the doctors assembled looked more doctorly rather than like a bunch of professionals in suits.

I guess they feared that in the minds of many, driven by folks like Michael Moore (another Althouse post at link) and his latest agitprop Кино, that in the minds of fellow progressives the following equation applies

SUITS=EVIL (or at the very least, Republican)

So, they encouraged the doctors in the photo to play dress up.

This brings me to one huge pet peeve of mine. The purpose of having special garb that hospital staff wear, is to minimize the possibility of cross contamination, and the original intent was that garb stayed in the hospital. The point of the lab coat is that it stays in the lab so that if some stray virus has found its way on it, the doctor in that lab coat doesn't then bring that virus with them when he or she runs off to their favorite restaurant while they grab a bite to eat. I live surrounded by hospitals and labs, and any time I'm out during lunch break hours I see a sea of scrubs and lab coats on the street and in various eating establishments. I know many hospitals have cut out laundry service, and don't issue these clothes like they used to, but that doesn't mean staff should wear these clothes out and about in public. Rather than telling people how to sneeze into the crook of their arms, maybe they should remind health professionals that they are a primary channel by which new bugs spread.

Heckuva job on preventing the potential spread of disease, buddies and budettes.

A Preview of Things to Come . . .

. . . only a matter of time, I suppose, before we have stuff like this happen here. After all, health care is something that only governments can provide, and only governments can 'fix'.

Both in Canada and United Kingdom, their systems are 'fixed' all right.

This Would Never Happen Under Hillarycare or Obamacare . . .

. . . Doctors in (not so) Great Britain are already rationing care, or recommend rationing care.

Unsurprising, if the state is in charge of health care, then it is in the state's interest to limit care to those that 'deserve' it (and people who are very elderly, or who make poor life-style choices, don't 'deserve' more than basic health services).

LOL Edwards?!?
