We Americans don't want a "cool" president. We want a competent one. One who believes in individual sovereignty, personal liberty, free enterprise, a growing and productive private sector, the Declaration and the Constitution. We want a competent president who respects America's laws, its founding, morals and traditions.
And Barack Obama has proven himself, over and over again, to be woefully lacking in each and every one of these areas.
not "cool"
ReplyDeleteIce Cold Statist America-Hater
that's what we are forced to endure.
another 7 months, scumbags.
Must suck to be have yet another boring stiff robot for a candidate this election. Like it or not TV has raised the bar on "likability" for a candidate. Having no personality has become a bad asset.
ReplyDeleteTell me again, why is it cool to be a bisexual marxist?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. Competence, please. Serious competence and understanding of business, international relations, how to solve our economic problems and give American business a government they can depend on. Business will start to hire, the economy will be free to grow.
ReplyDeleteCool? No thanks.
Cool picture of the Prez. Toe-jamming the news.
ReplyDeleteBE A TOOL FOR MR. COOL! 2012
ReplyDeleteIn this instance, "cool" = dumb as a bag of hammers.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've seen B.O. golf and play basketball; VERY cook!
ReplyDeleteSelling Obama like he was the latest sneaker or jeans design!
ReplyDeleteWe need grownups in charge again.
Cool as in Marxist Dickhead Sphincter? Yep, Barry has that locked up.
ReplyDeleteHe's very cool...especially when hhe stammers and stutters every time he tries to soumd "off the cuff" and isn't just reciting talking points. Sounds like a drooling idiot even WITH the teleprompter. Ever hear the Beck routine where BO says "I-I-I-I-" like Jimmy Stewart when he's telling a boldfaced lie?
ReplyDeleteOf course, sigh, to the kids in the media, "cool" IS the top determinent of what makes a good president. (And of course, these "kids" think black -- even half -- is the ultimate cool.)
P.S. I know he's mostly white and Arab. but the "half-black" SOUNDS so cool.
Te Iceman Goeth.
ReplyDeleteThe media's gushing on all things blown up to comedy & imaginary merely tells us the praetorian guard media has become the domain of the educated inteffectual idiots who never learned to stop drooling after the cut their baby teeth.
ReplyDeleteno co-ordinated effort here. They're simply timesharing a single brain.
ReplyDeleteShockingly, the Parker piece was 'cautiously' critical of the President and even warned his team that in the battle of the cool guys (Obama) vs. the nerds (Romney) -- the nerds usually win!
