I was in a similar position. I could barely pronounce his name or even look at him after a point. (I still have difficulties, believe me.) I cast about for a suitable way to refer to him, used “incumbent-in-chief” for a while, and finally settled upon “President Hopenchange”, with which I am reasonably content — the appellation, not the occupant of the office.

It’s difficult. Bush 43, whatever his shortcomings (many), at least respected the office and loved his country. And was on our side. This incumbent guy, . . . . . . . . . . . .

When Bush was President, I got so sick of the derisive terms of the leftists that I promised myself not to speak that way about a president I disrespected.

For the most part, I do refer to the madman in the White House as President Obama. But when I lose my resolve, the thing I am most likely to refer to him as is “our child president.”

His life experience wasn’t authentically black with the prep school in HI, radical Mom and grandparents and the Ivy League education. And even while he has sold Blacks down the river with his immigration stunts, he still has something like 90% approval. Obama has been worse than OJ on the issue of race relations due to his comments and actions on things like Trayvon and Ferguson.

Obama is a classic con man. The marks don’t even know they have been taken.

I was unhappy, more than unhappy, with the close connection to Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, destructive rich kids who’d torn apart SDS (because, for one thing, they believed the vanguard of the Revolution had to be black. This wasn’t helped when in front of everyone, at the big SDS conference, a Black Panther onstage was asked “What should be the position of women in the Revolution?” and he replied “On their backs.” When he was boo’d, this caused Dohrn and others to walk out, deeming any criticism of a Black Panther to be racist. Thus was formed Weatherman.) Ayers and Dohrn participated in or were accessories to several bank robberies but got, thanks to their rich parents’ hired gun legal talent — a situation that Ayers characterized as: “Guilty as hell. Free as a bird.”

The closer one looks at the association between Ayers/Dohrn and Obama, the worse it looks.

A second item is the fact that no one can see Obama’s grades or SATs. This wasn’t that long after G.W. Bush’s grades at Yale had been talked about a great deal. (When compared to John Kerry’s, they were roughly the same or a little better.) So the absolute incuriosity of my friends on the Left and in the press was disillusioning. But they had signed on and become advocates by this point.

Well, that’s what people do.
Speak as they will and grow.

2. The WSJ ran a photo spread showing how similar Michelle O dressed like Jackie O when she was in the White House.

I am convinced that they were sold as the black Kennedys and Denzel Washington schooled Barack on how to ACT presidential and improve his Q scores. Or at least the campaign studied Denzel closely and coached Barry. Denzel has one of the highest Q scores in all of media.

“The pretentious ninny used the normal anglo pronunciation for Afghanistan…”

Too bad the pretentious ninny couldn’t descend from Mt. Olympus and ask one of one of the lesser life forms familiar with the Navy about the normal anglo pronunciation for “Corpse-man” before making a speech about a corpsman.

Too bad for him. I got a laugh out of it. As I did when he was at a meeting of the Organization of American States and for some reason the Falklands were in the news. Since he was in S. America, and being none too keen on those imperialistic Brits anyway, he decided to wow everyone with his multilingual superpowers and use the Spanish name for the islands.

And proceeded to talk about a dispute between Argentina and the UK over the Maldives on the other side of the world.

The only thing I like about the guy is all the unintentional comedy he provides. He thinks he’s such a sophisticate, when he really does come off as a doofus a lot. A lot more then I’d expect from a man his PR people tell me is the smartest man to live in the White House since Jefferson.

Electing the first black president was more important to a lot of those people than giving any careful thought as to who and what the guy was, and what he really stood for.

If this were an ideal world, the consequences of putting such a cretin into the presidency would have fallen only on those who were stupid enough to vote for him.

The pretentiousness of that is stunning.

I was listening to His babblings once (back when I was silly enough to actually listen to Him), and He mentioned Afghanistan in some context or other.

I turned to my wife and blurted out in mock surprise, you mean “Ahf-Gaa’-Nee-Stahn”?

The pretentious ninny used the normal anglo pronunciation for Afghanistan, but when it came to Pakistan, it was forever “Pockeestahn”.

What a consummate jackass.
