Obama/The Pyramids

You are always so grumpy. Your blog is developing toward the no humor zone surrounded by paranoia. Sometimes a camel is just a camel.

My gut reaction to the shot above is that Obama is human. He’s a relatively young man [with a very important job] who is traveling around the world. He’s going to take a second a have his picture taken with the pyramids.. or pharaohs or whatever. He should. It’s the planet that he lives on and he’s seeing it’s sights. Good for him.
Same for Rahm.

Arse, I mean, there’s always something up Rahm’s Arse, in case you don’t know. Deleted so much about reaching for a watch not there, and if he’s thinking it’s time for bed, or what? That if he could, he’d make an image of that of himself? “deconstruction of war” while increasing “defense” budget, so trade war on terror for what?

Ahh, BAG’s not completely humorless, is he?

Sometimes a tourist is just a tourist….sometimes a tourist is asking you if you must take your eye off the message, then place it on someone who isn’t the messenger. Rahm is a tourist and if you want the sideshow, he’s providing it. The meat is still in the message and Obama still isn’t on the camel (or in the headdress, or riding in the tank, etc., etc.)

No, Rahm is not just a tourist. He is utterly lacking the dignity or sense of what is appropriate that his boss has. He really bears watching, with his absurdly infantile giggle, his reported high living and constant frequenting of Washington night spots. He has always seemed hectic, hyper, out of control and overcompensating with macho bravado for perhaps, having been a ballet dancer or gone to Sarah Lawrence. He will be a problem for the boss sooner or later, wait and see.

i don’t like rahm either. his comment about not letting a good crisis go to waste was downright rovian. but one piece i ran across in politico described rahm as going out to see a movie alone with only secret service personnel to keep him company. i wondered doesn’t he have any friends? where have you seen accounts about his being a party goer?

As an Egyptian, I can say that Giza is an amazing place. I like this picture… Obama actually looks younger. Camels are not easy to ride and if you suffer from vertigo, forget it!!

Hear, hear camel. “Grumpy” and becoming predictably cynical.

Was Obama posing there, or … ? (At least he’s posing there, and not at Mt. Rushmore. At least not yet.)

But he does look good stoned, I’ll grant you that… )
(Oh, and your link to Slublog…Slublog does a fine job, doesn’t he? He’s an inspiration, really.)

In reply to yg, yes, I agree with singling out the comment you did. It shows a real impulse to manipulate, rather than govern honestly. After all, why is a crisis a useful moment, except that you can PLAY on public chaos and fear. Is that not what was objected to in the wake of 9/11? I would add that even if Rahm thought this, he was unable to keep his mouth shut about it. He just had to flaunt his cleverness, and the power he has now to effect policy. The Wash. Post style section reports sightings of him from time to time. The latest was about a week ago. I forget where he was seen. It also reported he is putting his kids in the tony Maret School (at around 35,000 a piece yearly, for each of three kids) while calling upon others to sacrifice and “have skin in the game.” nice.

they’re doing warm up for mt. rushmore:

Rahm has more than one purpose. He went from the Clinton WH to a job making millions on Wall Street, so there’s his bailout friends to protect. Then, as a former Israeli Kibbutz member and Israeli soldier, he’s there to keep an eye and ear on the half-schvartza, goyim POTUS, of course. Then there’s all his corrupt friends in Chicago to payback. His plate is full.

Who is that, yg? Surely not Obama.
If it is BHO, then the artist must also be a veterinarian.

Were you being serious when you called the War on Terror, the War on Islam? I hope not.

Isn’t that the Sphinx? not the pyramids?
