Well that was quick! Nobel for Obama

Friday, October 9th, 2009 | Obama and the Dems | 1 Comment

The Nobel committee announced today that Obama won the Peace Prize due to his “extraordinary efforts” at global diplomacy. They praised him for creating “a new climate in international politics” and for his efforts at nuclear arms reduction.

Interestingly one journalist today wrote, “Obama’s name was rarely mentioned as a potential candidate for the award.”

Here is what the Nobel Committee had to say › Continue reading

What the Russians thought of Obama

Thursday, October 8th, 2009 | Obama and the Dems | No Comments

I recently came across a survey from the Levada Center in Russia. One of the questions that was asked right before the US presidential vote was:

“What are your feelings towards the victory of Barack Obama, a representative of the African American minority, in the US presidential elections?”

Here were the options and results (by%):
Admiration 5
Content 15
Surprise 16
Envy 0,4
Irritation 2
Indignation 1
No special feelings 57
Not sure 3
(N=1600)

The categories make for a fun list. Especially since we don’t often get to see the the options of “envy” or “indignation” on political surveys.

In Russian:
Восхищение 5
Удовлетворение 15
Удивление 16
Зависть 0,4
Раздражение 2
Возмущение 1
Никаких особых чувств 57
Затруднились ответить 3

Will Obama’s Olympic Gambit work?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 | Obama and the Dems | No Comments

On this one he has a bit more public support than on healthcare.

Note to reporter: don’t read from the script it makes you seem like a girltard. Someone once said that “broads don’t belong in broadcasting” — but I saw Anchorman so I know what female reporters are capable of…you can do better.

“Obama really a robot”

Barack Obama’s amazingly consistent smile from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo.

This video was created by Eric Spiegelman, who wrote:

Ladies and gentlemen, your President is a robot. Or a wax sculpture. Maybe a cardboard cutout. All I know is no human being has a photo smile this amazingly consistent.

On Wednesday, the Obamas hosted a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, during which they stood for 130 photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries in town for the UN meeting. The President has exactly the same smile in every single shot. See for yourself — the pictures are up on the State Department’s flickr (link below). And, of course, compressed into 20 seconds for your viewing pleasure.

The Times (of London) is thinking Obama could possibly be a robot

This is from our friends at “fair and balanced” (FOX News). The commentary from John Bolton is disturbing (in a Bush-era sense).
