Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

So many bastards, so little time.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The lights are all blinking red.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Come on, man.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

    Did you see fascist Obama trying to grab the phone away from that kid before he was done talking? That’s exactly how he’s trying to snatch all of our freedoms and guns.

    Whatever happened to the WPR kerfuffle? Kucinich et al. v. Obama was apparently filed… anyone with an active Pacer account what to check out whether they ever bothered serving the complaint from DCDC Case 1:11-cv-01096-RBW on the White House?

    Aside from the House Resolution that they are ticked off, is that it? How can this case be anything but a political question when the plaintiffs have perfectly appropriate powers to make the Libyan war illegal?

    Ah, kids? In case you didn’t notice Congress will be voting on the WPR thing, probably today if they can manage to drag their lazy asses to work 5 whole days in a row.

    It will be interesting to see who votes where & how it will be portrayed as a loss for the Administration.

    Movement (bouncing, swaying, etc) is a great way to sooth a crying baby. Mrs. Obama was standing still while Mr. Obama went straight to the bounce as soon as that baby was in his arms.

    I love that look he gives Michelle in the second video.

    BAD ASS!

    (Too bad I’m really getting tired of his policies, blah blah blah…)

    He’s so adorable with these kids, but it’s so very stereotypical politician kissing babies.

    But whenever I feel like our president is letting me down I just close my eyes and picture a world where McCain/Palin got elected.

    daveNYC: That’s not like him. I thought he was all about imposing sharia law in the US through tasty food!

    Seriously, the baby thing is priceless. Stereotype or no.

    There was a family with a new kid in New Hampshire during the primaries, who undertook the *ahem* scientific experiment of seeing how their kid reacted to the various Presidential contenders from both parties.

    OK, they really just did the creepy bit of wanting to get their new kid photographed with as many of the candidates as possible. I bring it up because Obama is described as showing the same kind of baby synergy then as he does in that second clip. It’s kind of awesome. :)

    Yep — they’d break that stereotype. McCain would set the baby down somewhere and forget about it, while Palin would turn around and hand it to her own seven- or eight-year-old kid, who’d spend the rest of the press conference teetering and swaying dangerously with her too-heavy load while Palin blathered on obliviously.

    Gone Hamsher
    To twist facts and reality in order to blame President Obama for all the wrongs in the world…whether the wrong is actual, perceived, or imaginary. Just like Jane Hamsher does.
    “Wait…Kevin dropped his ice cream, and he’s blaming Obama?” “Yeah, he’s Gone Hamsher

    Regarding the second video…perhaps Obama should try that with the Congress?

    Wait, wait, new scandal… releasing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is just a cynical gimmick… even though there have been reports for weeks that as much as 30% of the price of oil is puffed up from speculation. If so, some fingers got burned quite nicely today, and this could help to moderate prices for weeks going ahead.

    And as for those rumours that the Koch brothers, with much inside info, were behind most of that speculation… I can dream, can’t I?

    the smug look he gives michelle is what makes it, stereotype or no.
