At the beginning of 2012, Newsweek asked “Why are Obama’s critics so dumb?”
This was par for the course, as with the rest of the mainstream media, they had joined in the hagiography of Obama when he was dutifully crowned with divinity:
“I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above the world, he’s sort of God.”
Oh how the mighty are fallen!
Sunday morning conservatives were knocked out of their chairs with the just-released Newsweek with the magazine’s cover of a photo of Barack Obama, suit jacket swung over his shoulder, and looking arrogantly into the camera. The caption: “Hit the Road, Barack. Why We Need a New President.”
Inside is a 3000-word article by economist Niall Ferguson, excoriating Barack Hussein Obama for gutting the economy and putting us on a road to financial ruin. In slick magazine fashion, there are charts of the economy’s unemployment rate, sluggish growth, and skyrocketing debt.
It also delves into the fact that Obama’s lack of experience in either business or management has equated into a man that is clearly over his head; in which Niall Ferguson quotes Ron Suskind’s book, Confidence Men, of Larry Summers and Peter Orzag (Obama’s economic team) in conversation:
“You know, Peter, we’re really home alone…I mean it. We’re home alone. There’s no adult in charge.
A home where the children are left without adult supervision is problematic. But a country, the sole superpower in the world, without adult supervision is a recipe for disaster, as Niall Ferguson shows with Obama’s disastrous foreign policy leading to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East and the country’s path to financial ruin.
Is this the beginning of the end of the mainstream media’s love affair with Barack Hussein Obama? Will they send him packing? Will they tell him to “Hit the Road, Barack. And don’t you come back no more, no more…”
Let us hope so.

Imagine that? “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” come to mind but, in this new sequel, everyone is without clothes. What is the Mainstream Media to do when they are exposed? Hollywood, will just have to move to Europe and Vensulia, or worse. I have the best idea, let Liberals have California, lock stock and barrel. Then, they can do what ever they want. If a big Earthquake should happen out there? Oh well! Pooh happens!
The American people have just plain had it with this lying pretender. He’s not eligible to be President, so he poses as an empty suit, fouling everything he touches. He’s a loser, a failure, & has been from the get-go!
Yep, I agree with you. Obozo needs to go. He needs to follow “the yellow brick road” out of our White House which leads to Kansas. He can spend 20 to 30 years if not more in Kansas where Leavenworth is — Leavenworth federal military pen Presidential Row. See page 4 of website: http://www.haasstrep68.com
Bigdog, not everyone in california are liberals. There are a lot of conservatives like me, only we are out numbered by the low life blacks, the illegal mexicans, el salvadorans , etc. Unfortunately Obummer will not guard our borders…he wants it open. If I had a gun I’d volunteer to guard the borders…help us, don’t knock us down…the dumb movie stars, again, not all of them are helping that idiot…that’s why I don’t go see the movies they are in, and many of them were my favorites at one time.
The movie stars live their lives in a make-believe world. This is why nothing they say makes much sense when they have no script to follow. Of course, there are exceptions, but those are SO rare.
jpat, they also can have the north east, as well as the great lake states that don’t know 0′s poop stinks, too…
Amen to that!
Okay, the voters and the electoral college gave this incompetent jerk his shot with the media pumping him up beyond belief so it’s time to move on to a president with substance, not this absurd cool celebrity style. Most of us have lived with the belief that presidents were to be taken seriously if they led from our cultural level but when the Congress and the courts allowed an unknown and ineligible individual to take the office and make a mockery of it, they went too far. Even worse, they fiddled while the nation burned, whatever credit or fault is lain to him they permitted, e.g., no formal budget adopted and never before national debt levels. Harry Reid and John Boehner are from different parties but they are birds of a feather in their craven policies and greed.
I couldn’t agree more. Finally, a Newsweek cover shouts, ‘get lost Barack’. If he’s not dethroned, he will get us killed one way or the other; nationally or internationally; how can this guy, the supposed leader of the free world, and his whole party, be so sick in the head as not to see what they’ve done? I agree that Boehner is a kitty too, if you get my meaning. I am SICK of it all.
Just imagine the Lame stream Media after Obama is defeated in the biggest landslide in History? Talk about egg on your face! They will soon get on board and in doing so say; it was there idea. To late, we must next defeat the Liberal Media and the Teachers teaching our Sons and Daughters trash and Sin. Time to take back our Country!
Works for me.
I wanna see how high the socialist son of a Kenyan can bounce.
I am honestly NOT gloating – far from it. However, I have to say that way before Obama’s election I went on record here in Ireland stating that I could not understand how or why he could have even a chance of becoming president. Even though the very leftist liberal Irish media proclaimed his deity at every opportunity, his arrogance, lack of experience, lack of transparent background and lack of any real policies, made it patently obvious even from this remove that he was no fit President of the United States of America. How you guys actually placed him in that position beggars belief. Please, please, PLEASE make sure you don’t do it again! More than the future of your great country depends on you getting it right this time. The future of Western civilization is at stake. I know you are sensible enough to do the right thing. We are all allowed one mistake. A second would be a total catastrophe. God Bless America!!! Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.
To be honest, many of us can’t figure out how he got in either! EVERYONE we talk to said they did not vote for him. We also cannot figure out how he beat out Hillary for the nomination. Hillary is quite popular (tho I’m not a dem.)
There are more and more Americans that realize this poor excuse for a man is in fact a fraud, compulsive liar, forger, Marxist, Communist, American hating, Muzzy lovin, US enemies lovin, friends of the US hating, economy, business, industry, anti-freedom, & constitution hating, dick-tator wannabe the world has ever seen.
Did you see/hear his “surprise ” news conference today?? Here’s one line from it:
….uh…ya know….uh…ya know..Mitt Romney should realize that when you run for the Presidency of The United States, your LIFE BECOMES AN OPEN BOOK!!!! You’re kidding me, RIGHT!??? The arrogance will never end until he’s fired.
WE NEED A NEW PRESIDENT!!!! Romney/Ryan. NOBAMA2012
Good for Newsweek – its about time they woke up to what is really going on and backing the American public instead of this narcissistic arrogant moron that cares nothing about anyone except himself. And that includes his immediate family, his extended family, his friends if he really has any true friends and the idiots that voted for him.
Newsweek magazine? Who da thunk it? Unless they have decided that they need to try a new strategy to regain the readers they have lost with their typical Democrat party propaganda crap for the rag’s survival’s sake, this is a really good sign. Jesus said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” If Newsweek prints a story that isn’t propping up Obama or Hillary or some other cockamamie Democrat leftist politician or idea maybe the chink in Obama’s armor (the main stream press) is beginning to turn into a gaping hole. Maybe I’ll do something I haven’t done in 20 years or so and actually buy a copy.

“Food For Thought”
Semper Fi!

The Communist Party did’nt run a canidate,get it yet?I used to be a Democrat until I figured out if the Communist were going to destroy our nation from within it would be the host!Andthere big tent had to many groups with outside the normal,and at odds with my sense of freedom and libertyThe Madison Ave .BS did’nt match the mans past,remember the hope and changes ?cutting the defecit?Jobs ?Turning our border into a freefire zone ,pandering to illegalsand not solving anything for the rest of us legal citizens?Hows does adding 1.3 to 1.8 millon illegals with green cards solve unemployment?Suppose they’ll be counted in the stats?Or will the rest of us take a back seat in our own country and end up paying for this illegal dictate!So much for playing by the rules,and following the law !
They should have substituted barack for “Jack” in the song: Hit the road barack and don’t come back!
Yes, and they coulda had Gollum do the chorus: ‘And doncha come BACK’ no more, no more, no more, no more…’
Power corrupts. Total power corrupts totally. The demo-rat party comes to mind.
“You know, Peter, we’re really home alone…I mean it. We’re home alone. There’s no adult in charge.”
Whoa, they are finally coming ’round to this NOW? I knew all I needed to know about Barry and the Demos in 2004 when He spoke at the DNC Convention. Shameless, soul-less and Godless.
Better at the 11th hour than not at all…I knew the media had to start cutting Barry and the gang loose!
I’m disappointed the music’s lyrics didn’t substitute he word “Barack” for “Jack.” As such it should be made the theme song preceding all republican speakers at the republican party convention in Tampa and subsequently throughout the remainder of the campaign.
