Obamas' latest "date": Flight to New York for dinner and a show

May 31, 2009, 4:46 GMT

   Washington - President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama flew via Air Force One to New York Saturday evening for a 'date' to take in dinner and a play.

   They helicoptered from Kennedy International Airport to Lower Manhattan, continuing via presidential motorcade to the Washington Square Park neighbourhood. They dined at restaurant, Blue Hill, known for local cuisine from New York's Hudson Valley, The New York Times reported on its website.

   They attended a performance of the play Joe Turner's Come and Gone at the Belasco Theatre. The first couple's three-hour visit to the Broadway area near Times Square left traffic snarled all evening due to both Secret Service precautions and crowds of curious spectators.

   The Obamas' evening out followed a dinner out at a Washington restaurant a month earlier.

It is so nice to know that these two Bozos,who each has asked the American public to give back to the community, can freely spend the American taxpayer's dollars at free will , while most Americans are scrimping to make ends meet. I am personally appalled at the cavalier attitude of this clown who calls himself the President. If this is leading by example, then the American public is screwed, but I already believe that those who have been silent are already figuring this out. How about he public asking for an accounting of this little foray, and then ask that he remit every single penny of what this actually cost. He wasn't elected to be entertained at the public's expense, so how about staying home and doing the job he was elected to do ?

Tonny, I never assumed he used the Jumbo for so short a hop. He still Flew, Helicoptered, then Motorcaded his way to a theatre date while MILLIONS of American citizens are on the breadline or face cuts in working hours! You obviously never saw Macaffrey's posts on that very subject some time ago on the feature side of the page.

Yet I may be wrong. Perhaps he didn't use a plane at all? To listen to the BBC and yourself, Tonny, one would think that the man can fly unaided anyway.

Perhaps he just floated gently into the air surrounded by a glowing nimbus of glory and the celestial music of an adoring heavenly host, and only resorted to a chopper and stretch limo when his supporting angels wings got a bit fagged out from carrying the holy one?

'Still, this non-story indicates that it must have been one of the dearest theatre trips of all time. American workers who've lost their jobs or are on short hours must be rivetted to their seats in admiration!'

It may be a 'non-story' to you because of your citizenship in a country that still has Kings and Queens (ha), but that said if it is a non-story why would someone of your intelligence even comment on it? Us Americans who've 'lost our jobs' are much-much-much more 'riveted' in our seats now we have someone that is working to fix our country than the last 8 years of failed policy!

'Don't get me wrong. I was delighted when you got rid of Dubya, and even moreso when you replaced him with a president who seemed to have a brain: But all the indications now are that very little has really changed.'

We are willing to give it time and since he is not your President please STFU---it is none of your business. We voted him, we pay the taxes that he spends, and we are willing to give him time. If he does not do his job, in 4 years we will get rid of him. He is not 'King of America', like you have and continue to pour your money in that hole.

''Change you can believe in'??'

Yes we can, please STFU and go back to your dreary, rainy existence.

''Change you can't discern' would be nearer the mark!'

Again, thank god you have absolutely no say so in what happens. It is none of your business, just be glad we got rid of the Village Idiot and his crew. You have so many terrorists living in your country, he was about to start carpet bombing you and 'your kind'.

My thanks, sir, for your support.

Now, to '@'

Dear sir,

Am I, perchance, addressing the “induhvidual” referred to by Fudd as “Monkey Boy?” I am sorry that you are evidently unemployable, but millions of your countrymen are not, though they too are without work at present. You state;

“I guess you must enjoy being on the same rung as SP4? Stupid does attract stupid.”

I can only bow to your superior experience! You are surely one of the stupid people who jump down his throat with responses every bit as inane as his crass provocations, every time he posts. On a now nearly dead feature I have recently had occasion to reply to one of SPfart’s little attempts at the Parthian shot. I asked him to construe the following:

“Mutato nomine de te fabula narratur”

I now extend to you the same invitation, and for the same reason.

As for this article, it should be a 'non-story' to anyone with a brain larger than a pea. I commented on it for light amusement. Tonny, who I notice you don’t tell to STFU although he too is a European, commented on it because he enjoys contradicting me; and I re-commented because I had foreseen that he would do so and provide me with an opportunity to make the “heavenly host” joke.

See how easy this all is! No? Try chewing some gum and attempt to walk around the room at the same time then. How many things did you bump into? Only four! Well done, Einstein!

To continue;

“Kings and Queens (ha)”

Why the (ha)? The UK is a Constitutional Monarchy, a democracy with as responsive and mature a system of government as your own. Elizabeth, second of that name, by God’s grace, of Great Britain and of her other Realms across the seas, Queen, is my Dread Sovereign Lord, and I would advise you to be careful, my wee Columbian hayseed.

You have a republic, a res publica, and your President is also Head of State, as well as of Government: I respect the office, but have you invariably been happy with the incumbents who have represented your country to the world over the years? They are de facto “Kings of America” who are accorded their near monarchical powers in four year dollops.

As for the cost of either office, if you include upkeep of palaces like the White House and all the other paraphernalia of state, a contemporary president costs as much as a monarch anyway. With one difference! At the beginning of each reign, a British Monarch, in return for civil list provision surrenders private income from the Crown Estates to the Exchequer. Last time I looked this income was about eight times what we pay The Queen from government revenues.

I have nothing against Obama.... for now. He’s new in the job and will need time to make a difference. Yet again, as I’ve commented elsewhere, unthinking partisanship is indicative of a stupid and juvenile outlook. Whether from GOP bigots like SP; or puling Democrap kiddy-widdys like you, who uses the paper thin excuse of my nationality to say I should not post here merely because you dislike the content.

Anyway, pathetic, ill-informed, blinkered, party-politically fixated credulous cretins provide some light relief from us Brits “dreary, rainy existence.” I have always assumed that SP uses the suffix 4 as a descriptive of his mental age. Henceforth I shall refer to your good self as SP-three-and-a-half.

“The audacity of hope?”

In your case as well as SP’s, “The audacity of dope” would be more apposite.

I believe the “Idiots Stick SP4” refers to everyone as 'Monkey Boy'. His vocabulary and ADD requires such inane references. As for 'unemployable', I sir do have a job and am doing fine, I was referring to millions of my countrymen who and been forced into these ranks by 8 years of uneducated, conservative claptrap.

'I can only bow to your superior experience! You are surely one of the stupid people who jump down his throat with responses every bit as inane as his crass provocations, every time he posts.

(I am sure you are good at bowing, after all you are British). Thank you but people who put up with idiots who try and re-write history (no matter how inane the effort), need to be addressed each and every time.

'See how easy this all is! No? Try chewing some gum and attempt to walk around the room at the same time then. How many things did you bump into? Only four! Well done, Einstein!'

Thanks again, Mr. Einstein is one of my favorites. More British humor I guess with the rest of the comments???

'Why the (ha)? The UK is a Constitutional Monarchy, a democracy with as responsive and mature a system of government as your own. Elizabeth, second of that name, by God’s grace, of Great Britain and of her other Realms across the seas, Queen, is my Dread Sovereign Lord, and I would advise you to be careful, my wee Columbian hayseed.'

Ha? Ha because you support a Monarchy that actually has no use except to attend inane public events and 'knight' someone once in a while. While you have millions living in poverty, these Billionaires still ride around in their Rolls, fly around in their private jets, sail around in their million dollar yachts and you ask why the Ha? God you are more stupid than I thought.

'You have a republic, a res publica, and your President is also Head of State, as well as of Government: I respect the office, but have you invariably been happy with the incumbents who have represented your country to the world over the years?

Nice try, but just like most of your pompous posts, claptrap.

'As for the cost of either office, if you include upkeep of palaces like the White House and all the other paraphernalia of state, a contemporary president costs as much as a monarch anyway.

Again with the claptrap. One more time, ours are voted in and out of office. Your Monarchy is just like the Ever-ready Bunny--keeps going and going. Continually building their wealth and doing nothing---and you support it. Please don't lecture anyone on politics---Kings and Queens should have been gone long ago.

'I have nothing against Obama.... for now. He’s new in the job and will need time to make a difference.

No, but you try and jab here and there. The point is (again), he has been in office less than 5 months, was handed the biggest mess in American political history and you (and lots of other idiots) jab here and there even with no reason. Give it a chance, but again you are not an American so your opinion means absolutely nothing. I did not say you 'should not post here', I was just taking an exception to your post---your country is in the tank and if I was taking shots at your officials (which there is a lot to take a shot at) I would expect you to stand up for your country.

'Anyway, pathetic, ill-informed, blinkered, party-politically fixated credulous cretins provide some light relief from us Brits “dreary, rainy existence.” I have always assumed that SP uses the suffix 4 as a descriptive of his mental age.

Anyway Wanker, I am not ill-informed, blinkered or Party-politically fixated, Just an American that thinks comments by a Whig need to be addressed---especially by a citizen of a country that has lost ALL of their domain, influence and power in the last 100 years, had to be bailed out of trouble by the US more than once and to this day must keep its nose up the ass of the US to have any influence anywhere.

'In your case as well as SP’s, “The audacity of dope” would be more apposite.'
Coming from a citizen of a country that lost all hope long ago, I believe this is the same---no consequence.

So the President took a night off? Big deal. In terms of thought processes, SP4 has never actually been present.

It took Bush several days to personally get to the Katrina survivors.

Some History - Bush had taken 250 days off as of August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency spent on vacation. Although to be fair, much of this time is classified as a 'working vacation.'

Obama does a long workday - Bush basically stopped functioning by 5:00 PM

More details on past Presidents.

ask.yahoo.com/20031001.html

Bush as of 2008:

www.drummajorinstitute.org/injusticeindex.php

Number of days during his presidency that Bush spent on vacation at either Camp David or his Texas ranch, as of August 2008 (including partial days off): 916

(Number of days he was not a puppet - zero)

Total number of years in Bush’s presidency, if these vacation days are subtracted: 5.5

Proportion of U.S. workers who have no paid vacations or holidays at work: 1 in 4

Date on which President Bush received a presidential daily briefing entitled “Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S.” while in the midst of a month-long vacation: 8/6/2001

Date on which a FEMA report warned that Hurricane Katrina “could greatly overtop levees and protective systems” in New Orleans, displacing more than a million residents, a warning which came when the President was again on a month-long vacatio: 8/27/2005

Date of a second warning, from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, that Katrina would “likely lead to severe flooding and/or levee breaching”: 8/29/2005

Date that President Bush told ABC “I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees.”: 9/1/2005

Date on which George W. Bush announced “I believe we’re overextended… if we don't stop extending our troops all around the world and nation building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road”: 10/3/2000

Obama has a much longer workdayMay 31st, 2009 - 20:59:47

www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17373.html

Bush famously arrived at the Oval Office by dawn, left by 6 p.m. and went to bed by 10 p.m. Dinners out are as rare as a lunar eclipse.

Obama, by contrast, stays up late. He holds conference calls with senior staff as late as 11 p.m., and often reads and writes past midnight. Ahead of the Democratic National Convention, he spent consecutive nights holed up in a Chicago hotel room, working on his speech until 2 a.m.

And in the 10 days alone, Obama stopped by a Senate cocktail party, dined out with foreign policy types, and made a visit Saturday to Ben’s Chili Bowl, a Washington institution and pillar in the African-American community. He stayed out until 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at a dinner with conservative columnists.

As for Bush, did he ever start functioning? And I thought the best thing he could possibly do for America was go on a long holiday anyway.

The jury's still out on Obama. It has to be for anyone with a modicum of objectivity. Anyone with a brain that can be viewed without using a microscope will see that I did not make a personal attack on the man. I merely sought to comment on the unworthy partisanship of some liberal organisations and individuals who seem to project the uncritical view that the Sun shines out of his arse. Whatever he acually does in fact!

That is rank hypocrisy.


I stand by the point that a jet, copter, and motorcade trip to a theatre date in times of economic hardship will not look too good to many ordinary Americans who are feeling the pinch.

Is the Presidency a Photo-OP?May 31st, 2009 - 22:39:16

RE: 'I stand by the point that a jet, copter, and motorcade trip to a theatre date in times of economic hardship will not look too good to many ordinary Americans who are feeling the pinch.'

===============

Some people's opinions no longer derive from their own thoughts, but out of reading something. This is a shame - we have an American President who both READS and THINKS; and the public has generally mastered only the first. The press likes a headline, and blows minor crap out of proportion.

WHO THE HELL CARES WHAT NON-THINKERS RECITE???

Obama has studiously avoided getting into arguments with megalomaniacs like Cheney and Limbaugh - matter of fact, placing Obama's speech opposite Cheney's resulted in 'split-screen' type coverage - so, a logistical error.

The American people are just pissed off, and until things get better, they will stay that way. The Brits asre probably more pissed off with payments for moat cleanings for Tories, and the rest of that mess.

The trick is to put aside feelings and to deal with the present; never mind the future. Cheney referenced 9/11 20 times, and then said that we need to look forward. This phony lies for a living, and will say anything. Since he seems to be leading the GOP, that makes them cohorts in deception. A few in Congress are speaking up; apparently putting re-election chances at risk in order to be seen as 'thinking in public'.

The GOP is slowly digging its own grave - they are losing all of the key increasing demographics (the young, foreign-born, and the educated). There once was a party called the 'Know-Nothings', and they seem to have taken the mantle.

When you have time, look at the online transcript today of Fareed Zakaria's GPS, with Kissinger explaining China and Russia. He has visited with Putin 18-20 times, and won the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for helping to establish a ceasefire and US withdrawal from Vietnam. Thast deteriorated later on, but every success must be actively maintained.

Bush's failure to do that in Afghanistan has led to today's problems with the Taliban, and likely Somalia could fall as well. That's where the pirates are based, for those living in the past.

Yet another point to makeMay 31st, 2009 - 22:57:12

RE: 'I stand by the point that a jet, copter, and motorcade trip to a theatre date in times of economic hardship will not look too good to many ordinary Americans who are feeling the pinch.

=============

This paragraph explains how the GOP cannot even get their facts straight - any plane with the President on board is temporarily 'Air Force One'; but the public only envisions the 747.

'Air Force One is the air traffic control call sign of any United States Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States.'

The GOP: 'As President Obama prepares to wing into Manhattan's theatre district on Air Force One to take in a Broadway show, GM [General Motors] is preparing to file bankruptcy and families across America continue to struggle to pay their bills,' said a statement from the Republican National Committee.'

(Bush cost the nation a fortune by his own attendence elsewhere)

Number of days during his presidency that Bush spent on vacation at either Camp David or his Texas ranch, as of August 2008 (including partial days off): 916

Total number of years in Bush’s presidency, if these vacation days are subtracted: 5.5

============

When a President travels, there is no choice in the matter. He could have opted for Air Force One with its protections; but chose a smaller Gulfstream aircraft. The Secret Service had to use additional planes. The copter and motorcade are mandatory ANYTIME that he moves around.

After the Northridge Quake in 1994 our plant got a visit from President and Mrs. Carter - there were 5 limos, and Secret Service protection. It never ceases. Bush has turned a neighborhood into a secured zone just by living there.

If Americans are too stupid to understand the President's security, perhaps they need to hear from someone other than Limbaugh for balance.

'The couple spent about two hours at the Blue Hill restaurant in Greenwich Village, the AP said. As their motorcade drove up Sixth Avenue to the theater, crowds gathered on the sidewalks of the blockaded streets to wave. Some cheered. Cabdrivers opened their doors and stood on the frames of their taxis for a better view.'

As you are so fond of the scissors and slap approach, I will refer you to a comment I made on another page a few days ago. I repost it here, only slightly expurgated in light of more recent reading.

'Indeed, the contortions of the 'liberal' conscience can be truly amazing!

I disagreed with many policies pursued by the Bush administration. Though partly, I must admit, because of inept implementation and because some of them appeared pragmatically to be inimical to basic legal tenets protective of individual liberties. Others opposed them on 'moral' or 'ethical' grounds exclusively: And did so very, very loudly.

There are now tentative signs that many of these policies are still being pursued, far more covertly, now in direct contradiction of the accompanying empty rhetoric and with a perhaps equal measure of ineptitude: And all the fevered little conscience stricken 'progressives' who formerly opposed them so vociferously are as silent as a Tomb (if somewhat less useful and decorative). Even worse, many now seek to excuse actions that formerly they denigrated with an unabated stridency amounting almost to unhinged hysteria!

Were I a politician it would be my role to support uncritically measures that my government determined to be expedient and contrive reasons to validate them: For sake of party, or even occasionally of country were I privy to facts that led me to a Machiavellian conclusion that the 'ends justified the means.' I am not a politician nor, I deduce from the absence of any really sour stink rising from my pc, are most if not all of the other posters here. We are members of the publics of our various countries. Our role, in democratic societies is to maintain a watching and skeptical brief on those we elect to govern us.

Of course, many who bother to post on news sites will have an ongoing interest in public affairs and will own political views and affiliations: But unthinking partisanship is indicative of a crass and facile moral and ethical fluidity. Even worse, it reveals a lack of any real intellectual depth, a deficiency of character and a basic inherent duplicity of thought.

I hate bigots, but I detest hypocrites more!'

Obama may yet prove to be a decent President for the USA. On the other hand he may ultimately turn out to be another greasy, self serving party politician made even less attractive by a fatuous, sanctimonious line in over-emotional moralising oratory. Nor do I care how long the man works. Carter was conscientious too, but a disaster. Reagan spent half of his two terms nodding off, but still managed to achieve his aims.

Bush Snr was a competent apparatchick but with all the flair of a corpse. Clinton (possibly the best of the bunch) an intelligent philandering liar who at least managed to run his country well. Better than his personal affairs or ruthless, power mad gorgon of a wife anyway. Bush Jnr was an idiot whose reaction time to events could be measured geologically.

In any case, as I managed to say in a single sentence on page one, this is a non-story anyway. One does not have to belong to MENSA to discern that. Yet no politician should be ever taken uncritically at face value. Perhaps Obama is a good and decent man. So what? He can walk on water or shed his mortal container to follow a comet for all I care! The proof of the pudding is in the eating and after only five months the jury must necessarily still be out!

And that's it for me on this thread, so SP4 and SP3 can creep out from under their respective rocks and trade bigoted inanities to their hearts content!

'Number of days during his presidency that Bush spent on vacation at either Camp David or his Texas ranch, as of August 2008 (including partial days off): 916

Total number of years in Bush’s presidency, if these vacation days are subtracted: 5.5'

--------------

(So what's the big deal? Bush cost the nation a fortune in terms of having the security detail either move, or be duplicated in Crawford. Big spending was the GOP mantra for 8 years; and now going to support Broadway theatre is a problem? The New Yorkers vote for this kind of thing; not that Obama has a problem holding New York City)

Only a jerk would pretend to be upset about one night. On that basis, I'm sure you've got a lot to say. The fertilizer industry does not need the competition; but that won't stop you ........ it never stopped SP4, and look at how highly he's regarded hereabouts.

SP4 is famous, on this site, for saying(cleaned up for public consumption) 'Well, intercourse me in the anal orifice and call it dinner.'
You suffer from the same confusion - eat in the south end and eliminate from the north. Is this a familial thing? Are you SP4's younger, dumber brother? Or are you SP4, after he had his lobotomy? One of the two is true.

It's been said that those who have to revert to gutter language aren't intelligent enough to explain any other way - that they aren't knowledgeable in vocabulary, so pity them for their uneducated ways. The President certainly deserves some downtime, and under the circumstances of being just that, he can't go about it quietly and without all the 'extras'.

I am kind of shocked, your blather is that of a 12 year old---call names and then cannot take it when you are put in your place. My comments on your latest British dribble.

'SP4 never been here? Yes he has! in the form of his equally stupid, crass, and semi-literate Democrap mirror image, SP3 (I've re-assessed his mental age downwards by six months. The way he's going at present, it'll be SP egg before long).'

Like I said are you 12 years old? You left out the na-na-na. Please use your haughty British intellect to come up with something concrete instead of play ground na-na's. My point (like your head) is that one that lives in a country that has a monarchy that is worth billions of Euros, continually gets funds from the public coffers to support their large real estate holdings, fleet of planes, helicopters, rolls, etc. Should not comment on a flight of less than an hour for the 'euly elected' president for a night out.

'As for Bush, did he ever start functioning? And I thought the best thing he could possibly do for America was go on a long holiday anyway.'

We finally agree on something.

'The jury's still out on Obama. It has to be for anyone with a modicum of objectivity. Anyone with a brain that can be viewed without using a microscope will see that I did not make a personal attack on the man. I merely sought to comment on the unworthy partisanship of some liberal organisations and individuals who seem to project the uncritical view that the Sun shines out of his arse. Whatever he acually does in fact!'

Of course it is, quit taking pot shots at him. If he does not do his job he will be gone in 2014. Again you should not toss rocks when you live in the biggest glass house in the world....Again my point.

'That is rank hypocrisy.'

Speaking of hypocrisy---you have been elected the King of hypocrisy.

'I stand by the point that a jet, copter, and motorcade trip to a theatre date in times of economic hardship will not look too good to many ordinary Americans who are feeling the pinch.'

And my point again is that you have absolutely no say so about how the President of the US spends money, especially when your country wastes so much n your Monarchy when you have people starving to death. A genius like you should get the point.

This FINE(Frigged-up, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional) MENSA(Mentally Etiolated, Narcissistic, Slithering, Anal orifice.) candidate has the total lack of brains required to realise that he is nothing more than a nut, a prat, the butt of his own joke. SP4 has more brainpower. Potty Mouth is so frightened of having his shaming, his inflated ego puncturing, his laughable posturing and posing made public that he sneaks around on nearly dead threads, dropping his ordurous bits of offal as if they were pearls of wisdom. But what else could be expected from one who got his degree in B.S. from Wiki University? He is afraid to come out into the open into the light. Well, my twit, we shall do that for you.

Again, sir. Thank you. But 'MY PREY' on this occasion, I think!

SO!

Mammy has seemingly burped baba and set him on his faltering feet again.

Put me in my place? You, mate? I suppose the Audacity of Hope springs eternal!

“My point (like your head)”

(na-na-na?)

And then you start drivelling away about our Monarchy again. I would explain the real situation to someone with an intellect, but not to a chocolate 'Minuteman' (in every sense) like you: And as you’re not a Brit your opinion is of “no consequence” anyway.

“We finally agree on something.”

No we don’t. My judgement is impartial and is based on the record. Yours is subjective and is based on your idiotic preconceptions. Oh, and your choice of this stuff to scissor and slap, rather than the much better “reaction times measured geologically” quip, shows that you own a rudimentary sense of humour at best.

”Of course it is, quit taking pot shots at him.”

Gods, you can construe my intent no more accurately than you did the Latin. From your response it seems you may have translated it, but “change the name and the story is told of yourself” merely was meant to draw a comparison between you and your soul buddy, SP4.

Now, for a bit of fun, let’s descend to your level.

“....Again my point.”

(Which point, the one on top of YOUR head. Na-na-na?)

”Speaking of hypocrisy---you have been elected the King of hypocrisy.”

(OOOH? By a democrapic majority of one?)

”And my point again is that you have absolutely no say so about how the President of the US spends money”

(Couldn’t care less. It’s not my money he’s spending)

“when your country wastes so much n your Monarchy when you have people starving to death.”

(Are you by any chance confusing us with Zimbabwe? I realise that some less educated Americans may think that maps of foreign places are covered with warnings that “Here be Dragons” and show little sailing ships falling off the edge of the world, but this is ridiculous!)

Once more you reveal yourself as a cut and paste clown, fit only to trade infantile insults with your elder soul-brother, SP4

Not really. It's simply that I'm a 'gobshite' as we term it. Most Brits are not, as you will see if you visit the UK pages where few people bother to comment. On the other hand, most yanks are habitually verbally incontinent, so I come to the US pages to amuse myself. I suspect Tonny the Belgian does the same, and one Canadian at least that I know of.

We don't think US affairs any more or less important than what's going on at home. Contrary to popular American belief, you are not at the centre of the universe, merely another human society much like any other. Yet, your national propensity for approaching every subject with an open mouth amuses one who shares it and I take advantage of that.

Wow! I revisit a dead thread to see if someone has posted a small rejoinder to my 'Have a nice day y'awl' and find that WWIII has broken out. At least some Americans have been in this one from the beginning, I suppose. I'm the latecomer here; and who has been whupping their unsophisticted rustic yankee butts single handedly in the meantime? Are you another Brit or (Canada being mentioned) a fighting Canook? If so, good! A competent, worthwhile ally for a change!

To throw in my own threpenny-worth then;

You American clowns are a bit silly dragging WWII into this. Especially on the eve of the 65th anniversary of D day! That has been billed as a Franco-American event: But the joke over here is that to be properly in character, the French delegation will all have to put their hands up as soon as the 1st salute is fired and the Americans won't even show up 'til 2011. In fact, on June 6th 1944, well over half of the forces involved were Canadian and British. As for WWI, the only thing the yanks charged effectively was the interest on the money they lent us.

In every conflict we've backed you up in recently (and who else has, except for us, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, you ungrateful tossers) we all get no appreciation and suffer more dead from gung-ho cousin jonathan in 'friendly fire' incidents than from the enemy, who our lads actually engage on the ground, often hand-to-hand, inflicting casualty rates typically in the region of twelve to one. The only time you fought without the UK since 1945 was in 'Nam.. which you managed to lose. We, committing far smaller resources defeated communist insurgency in Malaya by using our brains, as well as brawn. Try reading some real history instead of the Hollywood fairyland variety you obviously prefer.

As for my own country's affairs, I am quite well genned up. The sooner we're rid of our present government the better, but all parties were involved in the expenses scandal and I condemn all equally. The worst offenders are being ousted and the public will not forget. This is what is called being 'fair,' 'honest' and 'objective.' (Americans should here consult a dictionary).. Not like SP3 and SP4's kiss arse chorus of blind approval for their own sides. No wonder a Brit journalist said;

'whenever I'm in America I feel like the only civilised person at a garden party for very rich apes.'

In fact I like many Americans, but SP3, who is surely one of the posters above, and the other idiot whose name is as forgettable as his inane remarks, are representative of the worst of you. Arrogant, self-satisfied, verbally incontinent, and so dim as to need everything explaining to you in words of one syllable... twice... on a good day!

Which brings us back to 'Have a nice day y' awl!'

an Awl, SP(junior), is an item used to make holes in wood or leather.

Another definition of the same word is, a minor punctuation mark.

I'll leave you to try to work out whether I was calling you a pointless little dot or a pointy headed boring 'tool.'

Or was it just a snide 'Hillbilly' allusion?

Yes. My Father was in the Western Desert Force from 1940. 8th Army. Served in Lebanon and Syria too against the Vichy Frogs. Tobruk, Mersah Matruh, Sidi Bahrani, Alamein; dancing up and down the sand dunes with Rommel. Then, later on a slow slog up Italy, Via Tunisia. 'Could have been worse, nearly got sent to Burma' as he put it. Good job he wasn't or this would probably not be being written.

My Old Lass served as a 'Fire Watcher' during the blitz on our town. As a steel and Shipbuilding centre it was a prime target for the Luftwaffe and extensively bombed. Saw several of her friends and relatives pulled dead from the rubble. My generation and the one just before, born after the storm, still grew up with the tales of it. Even over 20 years after it finished my mates and I did not lack for open ground, former bomb sites, to play on as kids.

Canada, Australia and New Zealand were with us from the beginning. The French lasted less than a year. The braggart Septic Tanks left us to it until forced to join in by the Japs, and reduced us to penury in the meantime, even though had we fallen they would have followed.

I'm beginning to think they're not worth the effort. Time to bring British and Canadian forces home from Afghanistan. Let the Americans find out who else will actually support them with more than words. I think they'll be in for a long wait!

Should have read: 'You fool no one, except yourself.'

Keep fooling yourself, kid.

You're the one with the long, drawn-out posts - who's upset? Now, rest assured that Obama is looking after the world, and I'll just say ba - bye!

The Chief? Sitting Bull perhaps?

Or in your case, Sh*tting Bull.

Nasty old man. 'Hail to the Chief' - the song played for our President! Now run along and curtsy to your queen, after you wash your mouth out with soap. And we thought Brits were so staid (boring) and proper. Guess you're proving that theory wrong. And, again, Obama deserves all the perks he can get with the stress of trying to make some headway in fixing at least some of the mess created in the last 8 years. Also, thanks for my humor (humour in your corner of the world) fix when things get a little slow here.

Ha, the idiot returns.Jun 9th, 2009 - 02:16:40

The idiot says 'bye' twice and then comes back and says 'Gotcha.'
He hasn't 'got' anything except space between his ears.

You say the 'idiot' keeps coming back, then what does that make you-the idiot old man who also keeps coming back for more? If you're so above this, then stay away; but you just can't do it, can you? Like I said, thanks for my humor fix, and I would definitely say 'gotcha', since you seem to be the one so worked up and angry. And since this site is about Obama and his R&R, again I say, good for him. He deserves it. Yes, I thought I had better things to do until egging you on proved to be too irresistible. Now calm down, take a deep breath, get on with whatever you are struggling with in your troubled life, and you may avoid a stroke.

Is so far out to lunch that even SP4 makes more sense than him. Have you been into SP's drug stash, boy? It sure sounds like it. Bellevue has a nice rubber room waiting for you, complete with a Thorazine drip. How appropriate, a drip, for a drip.

SPthree-and-a-bit. Muck and Crud's very own ever ready bunny. Wind him up and Onan Onan On he goes. My mistake. Wrong Chief. It was just a case of infantile Gall all along, you septic plank!

Hail to the Cheap!

Whatever spins your wheels in your little fantasy world. May you never grow up. May you stay forever young.

Just can't stay away, can you, you old blokes. You aren't any better than what you keep saying to me - you just prove you enjoy being egged on.
That's ok, I'm sure you need something to do to stay inside out of your dreary weather. Go Obama!

Yes, I ate this morning. Plank, indeed. Softwood methinks. Full of fiber, but little substance.

Balsa I would have said! May he never grow up, indeed. Though I can think of a better alternative to his staying forever young instead.

Yes, I can think of better alternatives as well, but I wasn't going to be polite.

Further to my last, good sir, are you acquainted with the classics? It has been said;

'Hon hoi theoi philousin apothniskei neos.'

If true, I suppose we must just pray that The Gods have really appalling taste!

I've now completed my egging encouragement from comrades-in-arms and proved our point that the Brits can be easily duped. My surfboard is calling, so Tally-hoe and all those weird British words.

My Latin has gotten rusty over the years, from lack of use. But I can still throw around a phrase or two. Quem Di diligunt adolescens moritur, is the one I remember, by Demosthenes. I don't know about the appalling taste, but I have heard that they are comedians and love a joke. That's why they invented Americans. Us Aussies and you Brits as well, appreciate a 'little' laugh. E Plubibus Unum has got to be a joke on a cosmic scale.

A double post resulting from a single 'enter.' What can one say about American technology? Not much that is nice.

Quite. I have been wondering if you have ever visited the labyrinthine archives on this site that is sometimes infested by tiny intrusive plankee doodoos labouring under their misapprehensions of adequacy? The maze offers seclusion and 'Olim meminisse juvabit' as they say.

I do believe you were the fellow who massaged then punctured an overegged ego on, shall we call it the 'MENSA selection process page'? That lies a bit too recently in the past but both of us have been posting here for some time. Jog my cryptic memory. There are various hilarious options.
