"The excitement over America's new president is growing, even here in the backwoods of France. 
Over dinner last week, a completely apolitical and non-religious British friend compared Obama to Jesus, 
while my favorite French magazine waxed lyrical on Obama's "cool." As an old-time Doubting Thomas, 
I have never felt that kind of enthusiasm for any political figure..."

Obama gets to Work
• Obama ditches succession of Bush policies on hectic first day
• Guantánamo to close within a year and tribunals suspended
• New foreign policy includes offer of negotiations with Iranl th

 Link

 Excerpt:
Obama devoted his first full day at the White House to ditching in quick succession one discredited Bush policy
after another - proposing the closure of the Guantánamo Bay prison and offering a new relationship to Iran.

Sitting in the Oval Office at 8.35am after a late night of inauguration balls, he set about trying to
live up to the daunting expectations for his presidency both at home and abroad.

He called together his generals to set new missions for Iraq and Afghanistan and gathered his economics team
to review measures to confront the deepening recession. He also telephoned world leaders to demonstrate that
there is a new president in charge, one with a completely different agenda and different world outlook.
 

What did Smirk do his first day in illegitimate office?

 He took the day off, proving he's even lazier than Red-Ink Reagan.   Link

Flashback Quotes from Jan 22, 2001

 I wonder what UPS would charge me to send a bottle of Listerine to USA TODAY'S Walter Shapiro?

 I imagine he'd want to wash the taste of Smirk's _____ out of his mouth.
 (That sentence censored by the bartcop.com Standards and Practices Committee.)

 Did you read his column today?
 Never in my life have I seen the press fawn over a politician who deserved it less.

"Bush appears deeply troubled by the persistence of poverty amid plenty.
  Democratic critics would do well to acknowledge that his concern is genuine."

 What a total hosejob by USA TODAY!

 Yeah, all the millionaire-cocaine-abortion-AWOL-oil business-playboys are concerned with poverty.
 ...but Bill Clinton was just faking it to fool the voters.

 Walter Shapiro - thy name is whore.
 
 

"Bart is right - I'm a shameless
  whore and I can still taste some
  George in my mouth."

 Subject: The Inauguration of Barack Obama

Bart,

Just wanted to weigh in on what went through my mind seeing BO take the oath of office.

First it was goddamn relief that DimSun was finally gone.  Not sure if anyone else heard this but I was listening tuned to MSNBC.
When Shrub and Mrs. Stepford took off in the helicopter you could hear the people chanting, "NA NA NA NA, Hey Hey, GOODBYE"
for about 2 - 3 minutes.  That was beautiful.    Neither Keith nor Rachel said anything but it was coming right through their little tented area.

As the Chimp's chopper left for the last time, Wolf the Whore reported that several thousand people were "waving goodbye" 
to the Chimp, but "not in a very friendly way."   I'd like to see a photo of thousands of people giving Bush the finger.

Almost 30 years ago I married a black woman.  I was told then that it wouldn't be so bad for her and I but that my children would suffer.
Not that my family was thrilled that I was marrying a woman of color but I was an adult and hell I was in love.  We have two beautiful children.
Most mixed children are beautiful.  I don't know why but I think it's just to piss off the racists.  ha ha

My son had always thought that he would be the first President of color because to tell you the truth Bart I also thought we were at least
another 25 years from this day.  To see this day come so soon and to know that even though everybody said my children would suffer,
I see now what I knew then.  It is who you are, not what color you are that matters.  If your smart, if your compassionate, if you really
seem to care about people, if you are taught that everyone is equal and you treat people that way.  Then others will see you, not your
color or your accent, or your clothing.  We taught them not to see color, but a person.

It is the young who are going to have to clean up the mess these a$$wipes put us in.
Thank go they for the most part don't see the world as black and white.
They see shades of colors and that is great.

Bart I felt that I really did see things the right way 30 years ago and other people just took a little time catching up.
So maybe my son will have to be the second President of color.
 edfromcolumbia
 

Strange as it seems, Bush did more to advance Black people than maybe any other man.
His Reign of Error was so horrible, even racist America said, "We can't take four more years of that."

How else do we explain Indiana turning blue?

Of course, Oklahoma is so backwards, many Okies would rather see their kids die
than allow a Black surgeon to save their lives, which is more insanity for sure.

When will the stupid people realize that hatred and bigotry are not good things?
When will the stupid people realize science and logic aren't their enemies?
 

 Subject: The Inauguration of Barack Obama

 Bart,
 What a glorious day! Finally a President with a soul.
 And I flipped the bird at the tv as Bush helicoptered away.
 But the icing on the cake was thinking about all those right wing nutcases who choked 
 like Bush on a pretzel when Obama used his middle name at the swearing in ceremony.
   Jon in Ohio
 

We watched the Obamas at a couple of Inaugural Balls and I told Mrs Bart,
"It's weird having a president who can actually dance without looking stupid."

The BFEE is not Dead
 Obama needs to watch his back

 alternet.org

 Excerpt:
Over much of the last century, the Bushes have been serving the aims of a very narrow segment from within America's
wealthiest interests and families -- typically through involvement in the most anti-New Deal investment banking circles,
in the creation of a civilian intelligence service after World War II, and in some of that service's most secretive and
still-unacknowledged operations.

Through declassified documents and interviews, I unearthed evidence that Poppy Bush had been working for the CIA
for two decades before he was named CIA director in 1976. Time and again, Bush 41 and his allies have participated in
clandestine operations to force presidents to do the bidding of oil and other resource-extraction interests, military contractors
and financiers. Whenever a president showed  independence or sought reforms that threatened entrenched interests, this group
helped to ensure that he was politically attacked and neutralized, or even removed from office, through one means or another.

Everyone should just lay off Chief Justice Roberts about him flubbing the oath of office.
It was probably the first time he'd ever read the Constitution.

Quotes

"Barack was glorious, but when a HUGE number of people in the inauguration crown began to sing baseball's 
"lonesome loser's song" to the departing W -- "na-na-na-na, hey-hey-hey, good-bye" -- I could only shake my head 
at the righteousness of it all.  He is a baseball guy, and nothing Obama could have said would hit him hard as hearing 
that as the door slapped his sorry ass."

 Subject: anti-war.com

Bart, In issue #2275, you wrote:

> I don't know why antiwar.com is going after Obama….
 

I think I can help you there, ol’ buddy.

Antiwar.com is a conservative libertarian stronghold (think Ron Paul).
They agree w/ us on one issue and one issue only—getting/staying out of Iraq.
After that, they’re just very vocal Republicans.
 Eddy, an occasionally helpful pillar
 

I'd say that's borderline false advertising.
Are they intentionally sending out "funny" signals?

If I ran gunsaregreat.com
wouldn't everyone assume I was a right-wing handjob?

Now if we could figure out why those former I-love-Obama-to-death sites are attacking him.
Maybe they never loved him - maybe they just hated Hillary soooo much...

Hillary Sworn in at State
Cornyn (R-Prick) just wanted to pee on her big day

 Link

 Excerpt:
The Senate overwhelmingly approved Hillary as secretary of State on Wednesday, after a one-day delay
forced by Republicunts who wanted to masturbate for 24 hours to the thought of making Hillary wait.

The delay had the effect of denying Clinton a confirmation vote on Inauguration Day, when six other
Cabinet members were approved. But Sen. John Cornyn (R-MensRoomToeTapper), who sought the delay,
praised Clinton's abilities Wednesday (Fuck you, Cornyn) and voted in favor. She was confirmed 94 to 2.

The votes against her came from Sen. David Vitter (R-Prostitutes), who favored further restrictions on
donations to the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation, and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-Duncil), who cited concern
about her support for women's rights.
 

I get that Obama wants to change the tone of Washington, but how can we unilaterally disarm?
The Republican sons of bitches have nothing but hate, so they can't ever stop slinging it.

How long are Democrats going to stand there while Republicans pee on their shoes?

Sorry - dumb question.

The gelding Democrats will watch the GOP pee on their shoes and then say,
"Thank you, may I have another?" and then watch them pee on theior pants leg.

 Subject: Pardon me!

It was a surprise to a lot of people when Bush failed to do mass pardons in the final days of his presidency.
This leaves the decision to President Obama.

Is Obama going to follow the law or is he going to pardon the Bush administration by declining to enforce the law?

I think it would be a mistake for Obama to allow Bush to break the law and get away with it. It would send a
message to future criminals that if you do something really bad you might be too big to prosecute. That would be
the wrong message to send. I believe that much of the lawlessness today started when Ford pardoned Nixon.

We are a nation of laws and if we don't prosecute serious crime when done by political leaders
then it says that politicians are above the law.

Marc Perkel
San Bruno, CA.
 

With all respect, I think my good friend Marc is wrong on this.
I believe there's no law that says a president must make his pardons public.

Bush could've pardoned every crook in his administration (That's some long list)
but we won't find out unless or until someone is brought up on charges.

 Subject: more on the oaf of office...

HI bart,

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said: "We're wondering here whether or not Barack Obama in fact
is the president of the United States. They had a kind of garbled oath. It's just conceivable that this will
end up going to the courts."

Yeah right dipshit, back at the supreme court with justice roberts.
That's the kind of line I'd  expect to hear from Leno.
Get another line of work, Wallace, cuz the day job doesn't look good on you.

Pigboy - 11th Most Loathsome
There are ten people worse than the vulgar Pigboy?

 Link

I decided not to link to this because he ran Obama and the Clintons as loathsome people, too.

If he chooses to hate everybody, like Maureen Dowd, that's fine but he said the Clintons 
should be handled with sniper fire and I failed to see the humor in that thinly-veiled threat.

 Subject: vomit time

Bart, you quoted the bloated gasbag as saying:

> "I hope Obama Fails.  Somebody's gotta say it."
      -- Der vulgar Pigboy

I say:  What a douche bag.

Words fail when one tries to aptly and accurately describe this waste of a human being.
Just shows what a true American patriot he is........wishing failure to our country, our people,
our military, etc. because if Obama fails, America fails.  If there was a just and righteous God,
he would have already smitten this piece of trash you call Pigboy.
 Keith
 

If Obama is successful at getting the two parties to begin hating each other less, the Pigboy 
(and Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck etc) are out of their jobs because hate is all they've got.

That's why Obama must fail.

GOP Senate  Torture
 Afraid new AG isn't into turture like they are

 Link

 Excerpt:
Key Republicans delayed a vote on Wednesday on the confirmation of AG nominee Eric Holder
in part over concerns that he views the Bush bastards' torture-for-fun policies as real torture.

Sen. John Cornyn, (R-Cornhole), a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he wanted
to know more after Holder sidestepped questions about prosecuting Bush bastard torturers.

"He's been very ambiguous," Cornyn told reporters. "We need more clarification."
 

That's a lie.
Cornhole wants a guarantee that the torture-for-fun crowd will get a pass on their crimes.
Will Pelosi and Reid cave in for the 600th time in a row?.

The Toyota Batmobile

 Link

 Excerpt:
He built TV's original Batmobile, the Monkeemobile and KITT, the Knight Rider Trans Am.
Now auto-customizing legend George Barris is giving the Toyota Prius his distinctive, flamboyant touch.

Why hybrids? "I love the challenges of doing something different," says Barris, who has redone about 
six Priuses so far and is working on his latest and greatest.   Hybrids could use a sexier image, he figured. 
The current Prius is so bulbous, Barris told Toyota executives that it looked tubby and turtle-like.
 

There's no logical reason for the hybrids to look weird.
The auto makers just want them to stand out - but a Corvette-like body would stand out too, right?

Why are computers so retarded?

Almost every day, I have to get into my Control Panel and turn my sound back on.
Why the fuck do I need to stop and take the time do that every day?

Bill Gates (I-Asshat) has apparently told all Windows computers to turn the sound off
every night so I have to spend time every day of my life turning the goddamn sound back on.
Why can't they build a computer that works?

Let me guess: This doesn't happen to you, right?
Why does shit like this follow me around when it doesn't follow others around?

Sure, maybe the cats are turning the sound off every night by steeping on
the F12 button and the Back button at the same time, but what are the odds?

I had this problem with my Bartcop radio computer sound card, too.
I can't do a radio show without sound and the damn think kept shutting off so my tech guy 
(this is like 2-3 years ago) built a shortcut and put the link on my desktop so I could turn 
the damn sound on every day - but why should I have to fuck with that?

Can't they make a computer where the goddamn sound stays on?

Caroline Bows Out

 Link

 Excerpt:
Caroline Kennedy on Thursday withdrew her bid to fill the Senate seat for New York.
Kennedy cited personal reasons in a brief statement. 
 

First, that "personal reasons" is bullshit - who does she think she's fooling?
Maybe that kind of tin-ear thinking is why her bid failed in the first place.

Second, even *I* would've handled that better.
The way I remember it, Caroline let it be known that she was interested in the post
That came off as "The least you can do for me is make me a senator."

I would've called some Steno Judy whore at the NYW Times and fed her the "scoop"
that a "coalition of concerned Democrats" had come to me and "begged me to run."
Then I would've "needed some time to consider it" before eventually saying "Yes, I'll serve."

How could a political family as experienced as the Kennedys screw that up?

Subject: Donation

Bart, thanks for the last 8 years and many more to come!
BTW I'm dying for the story on what's going on with you.
 John
 

John, I'm dying to tell it - I just need a break.
I'm swamped with doctors appointments, vet appointments, computer repairs, phone repairs, 
cable TV repairs and I think I've broken my thumb so that adds a constant level of pain that's 
turning my moods a little sour, plus I lost my iPhone so that's another $500 gone plus I'll have 
to spend half a day at Best Buy getting a new one.

I can't just walk in, hand them a credit card and get a new phone.
No, the bastards want to keep you there for HOURS while they fill out paperwork.

Plus, because of this adoption shit, my credit card is nearing the limit and the bank bastards 
are likely to cut me off and raise my interest rate to 30% and the first bill from the nursing home 
arrived and we can't get our lawyer to talk to us.

I was hoping 2009 would start out better than 2008, but the punches just keep coming.
But even if I had an office full of personal assistants and unlimited money, this would still 
be an ocean of crap. There's no way to avoid any of this so I'll just keep swimming.

If I can keep next week's disasters to just four or five,
I'll try to knock out a radio show.
 

Update:
Since I wrote that, I've been to the doctor.
No broken thumb, just injured tendons - probably from typing too much.
So he pricked my thumb with some magic potion, it fells a little better, but I can someday
see going to more radio or radio only as my fingers deteriorate further into the depths of hell.
