Droning on...                                                       click here to subscribe to the eddobloggo RSS feed Subscribe via RSS


Obama keeps droning on about socialized medicine, the stimu-later and other unaffordable, big-government programs.If you've lost count of the number of times the president has made speeches, post-election campaign pleas, mini-speeches and speechlets about the need to overhaul health care you're certainly not alone. If someone said 1,000, 3,000 or even 5,000 times you'd probably say "Is that all?"

 

It is that constant droning on about key points in his agenda -- like the yet-to-be defined Obamacare and the yet-to-be proven creation and rescue of millions of jobs -- that eventually makes many Americans tune out and become indifferent to subject matter that has already been covered ad nauseam. Of course, that is the desired effect.

 

Perhaps the first time you heard of a particular program that they had begun to drone on about, you disagreed intensely.  Thirty-seven times later, however, you became so sick of the redundancy that you just tuned it out from that moment on. By the time it ultimately got crammed down your throat, all you could do was throw your hands up and say "Yup, that was another stupid expensive idea I never liked."

 

Robert Gibbs has frequent brain fade and fumfers alot.And it works the same way with the media. You probably wonder how and why the White House would choose a boring stammerer like Robert Gibbs to be the president's daily spokesman; why they would throw an inarticulate fumferer in front of a crowd of glib, highly-trained and experienced interrogators every day.

 

Well, with the majority of the media already in the tank, all Gibbs has to do is bore a few critical reporters to tears with his Ummms, Ahhhs and interminable droning before he finally snaps them all out of it with a "Times up!" announcement.

 

Speaking of real drones, while the Dear Leader dithers about troop strength in Afghanistan he sent the Secretary of State to do some heavy lifting in the region.

 

One reporter in a crowd of Pakistani journalists (they not only know how to ask hardball questions, but they have the stamina to stay awake until they are definitively answered) asked the First Lady of Pants Suits how she would define terrorism.  "Is it the killing of people in drone attacks like the one that killed more than 100 civilians in the city of Peshawar earlier this week?" 

unmanned drone

Hillary's quick reply: "No." 

 

The FLOPS also said, before a group of newspaper editors during a meeting in Lahore: "I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn't get them if they really wanted to." She even admitted that "there is a war going on," and implied that the Obama administration is committed to helping Pakistan defeat the "insurgents and terrorists" who threaten the stability of that nuclear-armed nation.

 

Isn't this the same kind of indelicate, bellicose rhetoric that Obama has taken painsThe First Lady of Pants Suits. Is she the Queen Bee? to decry and apologize for on most of the earth's populated continents?  How could an avowed progressive even dream of saying these kinds of antithetical things in this era of change?

 

It appears, while the drones keep droning on, that the Queen is setting up a new hive of her own.

READER COMMENTS... 


Eventually, we will see how little stimulating of jobs the "Stimulus Act" actually created and certainly did not save.

 

JohnLloydScharf

Salem, OR Statesman-Journal

[Eventually being several months ago when 8% unemployment came and went. -ED]


There is no question that Hilary is setting herself up to run against this bozo - as she should.  I never liked her; actually I could not stand her, but know I wish she was in the white office instead of this communist.  Perhaps I should not say that on second thought...  She is after all a student of Saul Alinsky, who teaches "assimilation" and not putting forth one's true agenda... 

 

Beenaroundsome

Palm Desert, CA


We have gone from the promise of creating jobs to the new chant of "look at the jobs we have saved." You can't drown if you don't go in the water.

 

letsgetsensible

Palm Springs, CA Desert Sun

[Unemployment has increased by millions since the stimu-later has been in effect and they've "saved or created" 600,000 - 1,000,000 jobs.  How fuzzy is that math? -ED]


Our last few federal governments and presidents have evolved into sinister macabre suites of mediocre bald face lying clowns with free power to tax, and who are worse than inept at governing, i wouldn't waste my spittle on but few of them, not to speak of paying attention to their deceitful pronouncements. it is hard to tell where these inept governings are taking us, but it's not a pretty place, and you and i don't want to go there.

Another Great one Ed.  Keep up the great work.  I can't stand the woman but right now she looks good in comparison to what we have now.  What do you think of the NY 23rd?

 

Grandpa 2743

Sheridan, MI

[This is NY pal.  Even when you get three choices none of them are really Conservative, let alone Republican.  I have long been a NY Conservative and would be happy if my party's candidate wins.  That said, they have endorsed Democrats and RINO's in the past -- like in the last presidential election. -ED]


Do televisions in upstate New York have on/off buttons? That was always my quick and easy solution when the Shrub made his attempts at speech...

 

Craig51

Des Moines, IA Register

[With all due respect, Craig, that was not only selective hearing but it set you up to get 100% commentary -- obviously from lefty fellow Bush haters -- in the belief that it was news. I don't comment about things that I haven't seen or heard for myself on TV, radio or in print and, unless it's a pure creative rant, I always get the actual comment-able quotes in the piece. -ED]


The blood is in the water and momma shark is there. I do wonder if its cheaper to send gibbs or bob beckel over there to bore them to death than it is to bomb them.

 

deserttrek

Palm Springs, CA Desert Sun


When are you going to start being part of the solution eddo?

 

dajones

Des Moines, IA Register

[My part in the "solution" is making people think about what's going on and where the Dear Leader's socialism thing will end up. You kornfield kommies might be too old and set in your ways, but I'm encouraged by the number of younger people I rant to -- away from my blog -- who suddenly get it when they ask themselves the questions I propose and are left to supply their own answers. It stuns me, a year later, to see how many of the African-Americans I come in contact have done a one-eighty. -ED]


Great blog Ed. I see once again your blog content brought out some insightful, well thought out responses.

[Responding to "Your confused, the droning is you! You have 7 years and 2 months to go, so stop droning....yawn! and to an enthusiastic "LOL" by another regular lefty Alabama critic.]

 

fuguestate

Montgomery, AL Advertiser


You always come through in grand style and content...you've said it all.

 

proudmary4

Tallahassee, FL Democrat

[Thank you so much.  I appreciate your continued readership and comments! -ED]


"Kornfield Kommies"...Ha! Haa!..wish i'da thought of that.

 

alupfrnt

Des Moines, IA Register


It may be just propaganda by the "liberal media" but there have been quite a few reports of the stimulus not only creating jobs but saving them as well so I wouldn't say that his Presidency has been a failure as most on the right will claim as fact.

I'm not happy about everything he's done or hasn't done (stopping the wars was a big issue for me at election time and we're still there) but I decided to take my cue from the right, so at this point I'm in "wait and see" mode.

 

MarxistCommieLib

St. Cloud, MN Times

[With all due respect, MCL, when millions of jobs have been lost during this administration -- and I'll even give you a freebie to blame it on anyone you want to -- how do even have the unmitigated gall to spin it like 600,000 - 1,000,000 jobs were created or saved as a result of your actions?  Furthermore, it was promised that the stimu-later would help cap unemployment at 8% and it's now closer to 10% and the Dear Leader (just yesterday) warned that it could get worse before it gets better. Where are the WMD? In this case, where are the jobs?? -ED]


Just another day in the New World Order. Thanks for understanding that it's U.S. policy and the killer drones which have "destabilized" Pakistan and left a million or more formerly friendly Pakistani's displaced in refugee camps and terrorized by the robot predators. Now that the American South has been "re-constructed" into our military-industrial-prison powerhouse, all those Clinton Carpetbaggers had to go somewhere. With any luck, they can start another war to "stimulate" the economy. Never forget: The Taliban is the religious right. They're the ones who oppose abortion and "women's lib" - not to mention foreign invaders and occupiers. And they had virtually eliminated opium cultivation and trade by 2001. Now, thanks to American "protection," Afghanistan supplies 92% of the world's heroin. What an accomplishment for the gangster capitalists who created Clintobama!

[I think you missed my point by a fur piece. Great rant nonetheless. -ED]


Can anyone REALLY quantify how many jobs have "been saved"? Anyone?

 

CentMNguy

St. Cloud, MN Times

[Good rhetorical question. -ED]


.....Lombago (The Herald's one trick pony) - who be the droner here? Yoube or hebe or maybe mebe ????

Wausau, WI Daily Herald

[Prof. Malark, I think you should be fair and give me at least a Bee Plus for this effort. -ED]


I know all about how you drone on and on about Obama. Yes, the pot is calling . . .

 

patrioticblogger

Lansing, MI State Journal

[Close shave! Too close for PC lefty comfort? -ED]


I guess my reply would have to be both to the noun and the verb of "droning" if that is OK? In fact they appear to be the same and we have become 'numb' with the constant rhetoric and that is fine with the new regime because we are now vulnerable and quit paying attention. How 'Robert Gibbs' ever got the job is indicative of a failed regime unless one goes back in history that would get me censored. Seeg Heil!!
