Barack’s Pair of Brunswick 16’s

Now and then I find myself astonished by our President. His ability to move from one part of a room to another fluidly, gracefully, and without the least bit of a stammer, stumble, or trip in his gait is quite remarkable. I marvel watching him playing basketball and skirting around the court seemingly unencumbered by anything, with no trouble at all. It is indeed amazing. Amazing that a man, who apparently has a set of Brunswick 16’s knocking together with each step like a two ball version of a gigantic Newton’s Cradle desk game and is not impeded by them in the slightest is simply amazing.

It’s obvious that he’s lugging around a set that can match ball of choice many professional bowlers use because what else would explain otherwise incredulous statements spewing from the guys mouth with an otherwise straight face?

This morning I was yet again reminded about the condition with which our President struggles every day when I caught an article.

Barack, now in his 5th year in office, and real unemployment remains inordinately high. Indeed it’s stretching the Y-axis on the unemployment chart to levels we haven’t seen in about a hundred years. And this man, with no shortage of confidence whatsoever, goes on to lecture people in Africa on the merits, qualities, and benefits of job creation and employment. It is indeed amazing he can walk with a set that enormous. You’ve got to have real huevos to do that.  To stand up there, look the audience right in the eye, well not right in the eye, right in the eye through teleprompters, but you know what I mean. Look them right in the on and proceed to go on about something he really knows quite little about. And everybody knows that he knows quite little about the subject. They’ve all seen the unemployment numbers and are aware of the economic stasis Barack-onomics has palled over this country. But no matter, he heads up and pretends nonetheless.

Publicly and repeatedly feigning credibility requires Brunswick 16’s

That’s like me, a blog or two a week average, walking up to Steve MacDonald, the Grok’s gatling blogger extraordinaire, and lecturing him on the best prescription to become a more prolific blogger. He’d laugh in my face once he got off the floor, put there by a gut rending laughfest, triggered by my unbelievably audacious and moronic statement.  Moronic not because of what was said, but who said it. That’s the problem.  If unemployment were low, and the economy whirring, then yeah, go lecture on them.  But when the laundry is soiled, best not call attention to it.

Barack did it earlier in the week also. Asked about the complete blundering buffoonery demonstrated by his administration’s attempt to acquire top secret squealer Snowden from Russia and China, the great-balled one sloughed it off and said, “…I’m not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker.” He went on, when asked about contacting the leaders of those two countries responded, “I shouldn’t have to.” and that the U.S. does:

“a whole lot of business” with both countries, and said he doesn’t want to be in a position where he’s “wheeling and dealing and trading” just to “get a guy extradited.

Translation: “there’s no way Putin and Xi Jinping take me seriously, so I’ll pretend that it’s not a big deal.” Who in the world thinks he’s credible on foreign relations and negotiating? When has he ever exhibited any expertise on either?  To make it even more embarrassing, the “no big deal” caste Barack is trying to throw doesn’t jibe with his own Secretary of State who, that day said (emphasis mine):

 “People may die as a consequence of what this man did,” and “It is possible that the United States would be attacked because terrorists may now know how to protect themselves in some way or another that they didn’t know before. This is a very dangerous act.

Kerry wasn’t alone, the ultra right winger, gun loving Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said, “We need to know exactly what he has. He could have a lot, lot more. It may really put people in jeopardy,”

People dying, people in jeopardy, terrorists? Bah, no big deal.

Say what you want about Kerry and Feinstein, but I believe many would agree that they’re far more credible in the area of intelligence and defense than Barack.  But that doesn’t stop him from publicly pretending otherwise.  Which is quite ballsy.
