“Yes we can…but that doesn’t mean we’re going to.”

Via Ann Althouse let us note a seminal moment in the Obama administration:

the Daily show discovers that Obama is like Bush.

You will note that the sparks really started to fly at Pelosi once John Stewart went after her. It’s one thing for Rush or Hanity or even Bill O’Reilly to go after her. The left couldn’t care less. To their true believers they are not legatmate sources, to those same people however Jon Stewart is.

Jon Stewart has now directly ridiculed president Obama by name. He has done it on a primary news source for the far left and for many young people who pay no attention, and not only that he has done it in a way that a person who has no idea about politics can understand.

People may not realize how big this is. Will this mean that other comics will now be willing to hit him? Will this give the imprimatur to other to speak up? Only time will tell, but the first time is always easiest.

Bull

That is the kindest word I can give on this:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi learned in early 2003 that the Bush administration was waterboarding terror detainees but didn’t protest directly out of respect for “appropriate” legislative channels, a person familiar with the situation said Monday.

I’ve never understood the willingness of reporters to allow themselves to be lied to, then lied to again and then go back to the same people for more.

Remember all of this lying is to cover her rear with her left wing friends and her district, if she was worried about popular opinion she would be bragging about it.

Not yet? Hey Nancy Pelosi that line got me married.

Nancy Pelosi doesn’t seem to have a firm grasp of language as he maintains this proves she didn’t know about waterboarding:

“As this document shows, the speaker was briefed only once, in September 2002,” said Daly. “The briefers described these techniques, said they were legal, but said that waterboarding had not yet been used.” (emphasis mine)

Let me give a message to the speaker of the house, when someone says: “Not Yet” that means its going to happen and I can speak from the following experience:

Back when I was dating my wife we went to cape cod for Valentine’s day. I had a comic store at that time and sold baseball cards. We visited a store on the cape and was talking to the owner. I then introduced Valery and had this exchange:

“Is this your wife?”

“Not Yet.”

At this point the alarms went off in my head and in her eyes. I hadn’t proposed yet, although I was thinking of it. In fact a friend who was so convinced that I would rush to propose bet me that I couldn’t hold off till May. I took that bet.

For the rest of the day she looked at me with a big grin. The next morning I explained the bet and asked her hypothetically if she would marry me. She hypothetically agreed and we planned the wedding on the spot.

So after 21 years of marriage Nancy let me tell you something; if someone says “Not Yet” that means it’s coming, as if you didn’t know.

Lies Damn Lies and Polls

Over and over we are shown polls saying that President Obama is incredibly popular, practically an unstoppable force. Considering we have a press corps that won’t challenge him, comedians that won’t joke about stuff like this and people who are so afraid of being called racists that the conversation stops if he is criticized this isn’t a surprise, but thanks to Tim Blair we have this clip to remind us of what a motivated person can do with polling.
