#1 'I grant you that he's not two-faced,' I said.'But what's the use of that when the one face he has got is so peculiarly unpleasant?'

Charles Percy Snow, 1st Baron
The Affair, ch.4.

#2 Shameless. What a repellent, shallow, spineless little man.

#3 This is a position known in political circles as "wishy washy."

A euphemism for "so out-of-touch that he doesn't even know what his subjects want him to talk about".

#4 Along with freedom comes responsibility and fair play.

When the Saudis allow Christians to build a cathedral a short distance from Mecca than I would be glad to reciprocate.

I want a muslin to look me in the eye and say that they are being treated worse in America than Christians and Jews in Saudi Arabia.

#5 Let me add, turnabout is fair play.

#6 Clue for Barry: what do you think of, say, a Confederate History Museum across the street from where Martin Luther King was assassinated? How 'bout a Japanese Shinto shrine at Pearl Harbor?

Step down and let a grownup run this country, you stupid f***.

"Brilliant", my arse. This man is a complete fraud, the biggest BS artist in a nation and an era that has produced world class con men (think of Madoff, Alen Stanford, the Enron boys et al).

Barry's trajectory recalls the Andy Griffith lowlife character in the 1950s film, "Faces in the Crowd."

#7 gorb, he knows what his subjects want and don't want, he just doesn't give a rip and proceeds with his own agenda. Obama continues to tromple all over what defines America. My BP meds will have to continue throughout his term.

#8 The Mosque is Islams east coast beachhead in its war on America.

#9 Along with Obama pulling the border patrol off of some areas of the Meican border for illegals of all types we now have a three front war, Islamic radicals attacking places like Fort Hood, illegal immigration, the Democrats on capital hill allowing it all.

#10 Even Harry Reid is distancing himself from Barry O's remarks. I suspect that somewhere in the bowels of the Executive, some trembling staffer is fretting, "My God, if we've lost Harry Reid, we've lost Middle America."

#11 The pious statement that everybody enjoys the same religious freedom doesn't address with wisdom or the good taste of building a mosque near the site of Islamic aggression against Americans.

First the the treasoness person would have to recognize that it was Islamic aggression. They don't even allow the word Jihad in their intelligence reports any more.

#12 Ego Boy just can't help himself. He must run his mouth. The man loves the sound of his own voice. And damn the consequences...
