What Will Barack Obama Do On His ‘Computer Night’?

'Motherfucker, what do you mean there's no server found for 'Wonkett'?'
Barack’s got the ‘puter all to himself! What will he do? Order pizza? Play some sort of online fighting game? Leave more hilarious comments on RonPaulForums.com? Check out his fancy Chicago ‘hood on Zillow to see how much his neighbors’ houses have dropped in value? Hack Twitter again just because Twitter is so lame? That’s right, it’s the late-night weekend Wonkette Caption Contest! [White House Flickr]

    Im in ur federal IT portfolio, spending ur tax dollarz

  4. jagorev says at 1:10 am, August 15th, 2009

    Also, how fucking lame is it that he has a Gateway PC running Windows XP, an old Dell laptop, an open can of soda, a mug with some kind of lame inspirational/funny quote on it, a bunch of cheapass ballpoint pens, hand sanitizer, and what looks like an open bag of throat lozenges on his desk, just like the rest of us schlubs do? Is he trying to make America look bad?

  5. Buzz Feedback says at 1:11 am, August 15th, 2009

    If he’s worth a shit he’ll head straight for the laughing stock of Twitter.(TM)

  11. shadowMark says at 1:25 am, August 15th, 2009

    He’s going to spend the whole night fucking with Hillary by using all his fake-name e-mail accounts to e-mail her asking, Um, excuse me, Mrs. Clinton, what does your husband the former President think of the multi-billion dollar loan package China is giving the Congo in exchange for mining rights?

  12. “www.fakebirthcertificates.com……404 Error!? Now what am I gonna do?”

  19. jagorev: I actually agree with that. My secretary has a sweeter set up and she’s not an attractive 27 year old Wellesley alumna.

    Which reminds me…Jesus. There are so many young people in Obama’s WH that it’s officially depressed half of DC (the rest of us 20-somethings who don’t work for the President). Not a bad gig, I would guess.

    I bet their vice president doesn’t bring them donuts every Thursday like mine does though! Ha, I win again!

    Barack Obama is concerned by the recent amount of negative karma points he has accumulated in comparison to his low increase in stealth points during a recent session of Fallout 3. Only the soulful notes of John Tesh coming from his laptop speakers provide solace in such a somber moment.

    Tomorrow Obama introduces legislation for a public option to porn, or ObamaSpank.

    “Americans spend billions of dollars each year on pornography that they could be spending on their families. That is just unacceptable,” the President said with one hand firmly planted under the desk.

    Republicans on the hill offered predictable opposition, citing language in the bill that could lead to, in their words, “mandatory castration” for those caught looking at kiddie porn.

    “Republicans stand firmly in opposition to President Obama,” said Senator Grassley, “As a party with a strong historical commitment to boy-fucking, we feel that castration of pedophiles would be disastrous to small business owners, catholic priests, and cub scout leaders, and the Republican party simply will not stand for it.”

The other tab is on the liberal media New York Times’ most elite and effete feature, “Physical Culture | Gear Test” which has recently reviewed wine chillers.

    After that he will study up on industry by playing Car Tycoon, Railroad Tycoon (To see what vPOTUS Biden is yapping about), and then Bailout Tycoon.

    Bearbloke: Republicans could not allow a public option. After FDR created social security and other reforms the GOP didn’t win the Presidency until relatively benign Ike Eisenhower. Sensible health insurance reform would make Obama a hero to the working class whites (assuming it all worked) that are a large part of the GOP base and assure a large Democratic win for many years. Mega-contributors such as insurance companies, Big Pharma, HMOs, and the like would lose profit.

    If they cave on this public option there’s nothing to stop the right from shooting down the employer mandates and the insurers who just in the spring said they would allow pre-existing conditions while issuing new policies may retract that.

I don’t mean to be debbie downer but I am so po’d that hopey gave away the public option today(bury it on a sunday nice touch) like meh who cares as long as we have a deal with the mafia/nazi insurance companies that give liver transplants to children after they die and the media finds out. face it THIS IS THE ILK HE IS IN BED WITH DEALING WITH. Get ready for viagra/cialis/lipitor commercials up the yin yang for the next 8 years. And don’t name the crap bill after Ted Kennedy, who, if he wasn’t so ill would abhor this foolery. And also in a psychological sense the bigot/teabag loons will feel like they won something WHEN WE OWN THE CONGRESS RIGHT NOW. Can’t you just see Becks smiling lard head, thinking he & they are now the kings of the world? Hobo, about your comment the other day, yes I’m starting to agree with you. As far as we know this all was decided a long time ago on the docks in NYC. I’m done with believing in any politician. I know you all loathe John Edwards, I think in his personal life he’s a scumbag, but his mantra was that he would never deal with these criminals. Never. Kennedy, FDR, Eisenhower, Big Dawg, all brilliant people with horrible personal choices & professional greatness. Frankly, I choose professional greatness. Paging Teddy Roosevelt, who would have mopped the floor with these vulgar Madoff like Insurance Companies, especially, if he would have had the majority in Congress like we do. He then would have laughed them out of the room after he mopped up with them.

    The Senate Finance Committee has said ‘co-ops’ might be considered even if they have ’some’ government oversight. Which means the insurance company will have the Feds take any heat while they take the profit. Which can only come by denying service and high prices and unnecessary procedures. And the ‘people’ will declare their hysterical shrieking made the difference.

    Next to fall apart: climate change legislation.

    RE: Dropping the Public Option

    I’m calling bullshit. Maybe I’m just being over optimistic, but I think that the media is doing what it has been doing for a few weeks now: they take something that a congress person did or even did not say about health care reform to mean something that they probably didn’t mean. In this instance, look at WSJ’s article on Sebilius. The article’s title is “Sebelius: Public Health Option Is Not Essential for Overhaul.” Then, you go and read said article to find that NO WHERE in it did she say anything like that. Look closely at where the quotes start and end. Fucking media. Maybe they’re right, but they could at least add some more fucking context to make their case.

    But if their right, if Hopey gives in on this. I will be fucking livid. And I won’t trust him again, because this is fucking important.

    You are absolutely right. But in addition to Sebillus they are leaking to all media outlets that public option = over. They are trying to bury the story on a Sunday. I would have thought the same thing you did, until I saw that all media had the story and it is over, or I would have done the same as you & waited until it was confirmed. I wanna see Carville get Louisiana pissed & mouth off in that wonderful way he does. Olbermann will be foaming at the mouth tomorrow, Shultz will talk even louder if that’s possible. That’s about all the outrage I’ve seen on this administrations strange and sadistic bedfellows. I am in the medical field & I’ve been screaming about the rich get well & the poor die sooner bs going on in this country forever. Decades. Now on the precifice of finally taking care of our own poor sick people & innocent children, it’s business as usual at the expense of the poor, sick & children. Call me a broken record, but play back the dem primary, & see who was warning us about this pussy footin with criminals ad nauseum. Ok, the guy who couldn’t keep his pants zipped. How many great Presidents had horrible private lives? I am more interested in their public duties & performance, & for those who can’t speak for themselves & for those who will speak for them. Another thing, do not name this crap bill after Ted Kennedy, who if not for his illness would not have stood for this. Ted Kennedy has been in politics forever & would have seized this majority & given it to the criminals but good. Like Al Gore, this was his baby for decades & the cause of his life. Sorry, but there is a lot to be said for experience & gravitas.

    How is everyone going to be covered without the public option? I guess 50 million americans don’t matter. I guess sick, poor people & children aren’t thought of as “voters”, so to heck with them. I’m seriously thinking 2012 & my public voting options, as will many others.

  219. Nerdalicious says at 8:24 pm, August 16th, 2009

    Another thing. I have been listening to the “language” lately. I have been hearing way to much tax credit lingo for the people who can’t afford health care. This is rethug speak. And my fears & instinct are now coming true. Next we’ll be hearing about education for poor & sick people. rethugs solutions to every single malady: Tax credits & education. I’m officially independent as of today.

    2 people I miss. John Edwards & Tom Daschle. Them & their stupid personal behaviors. But think about it, where is the passion? Where is the outrage? I don’t feel it, hear it & now don’t see it from this administration.

  223. imissopus says at 8:36 pm, August 16th, 2009

    I’d like to agree with jetjaguar, but Sebelius also apparently told CNN that a public option is “not an essential element” of reform. And Mike Ross told CNN that he thinks about 90% of the bill that will get sent to Hopey is reflected in the bill coming out of the Senate Finance Committee. He also said he “will never vote for a bill to kill old people, period.” This is a DEMOCRAT speaking…a Blue Dog, yes, but still a Dem.

    Bill Maher and Ross Douthat were talking on Maher’s show the other night about the climate bill, and Douthat wanted to know why Dems didn’t just ram progressive legislation through Congress without worrying about bipartisanship. Maher pointed out that cap-and-trade is a conservative concept, so essentially here’s what we have with the two parties in Congress: one takes the conservative positions and the other says “I like turtles.” Meaning of course that that party’s got nothing. So right now I’m feeling less than optimistic about the future of progressives in general, not just on health care.

  224. imissopus says at 8:39 pm, August 16th, 2009

    Oh and agree on John Edwards. I liked the guy and the passion he showed standing up for people no one else was standing up for. The fact that his adultery has torpedoed his career is a real shame. Not that I’m trying to excuse it, but Sanford, Vitter, and Ensign have yet to resign, just to name three off the top of my head. Bill Clinton survived. Really, a damn shame.

  225. chascates says at 8:41 pm, August 16th, 2009

    The American people in general are the most selfish on earth. Who is against the public option? 1) People on Medicare or Medicaid, and couldn’t care less about other people, and 2) people who have private insurance and haven’t yet been screwed by their insurance company. Until this second group learns the hard way and gets screwed by their insurance company, nothing will change. As long as they’re getting “their’s,” their idea is to hell with everyone else.

    When a conservative Democrat takes the time to promise that he will not “kill old people,” you really know Democrats are struggling to maintain their footing on healthcare reform.
    So it’s pretty stunning that Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.), a leading Blue Dog Democrat, felt it necessary to make that pledge on CNN today.
    “I will never vote for a bill to kill old people, period,” he said.
    Just yesterday, Ross got a standing ovation when he bragged about standing up to President Obama and Nancy Pelosi.

    Look folks — I don’t think the public option is dead. Senator Conrad says so, but that doesn’t mean it’s a fact — he just doesn’t want it, and his deal between his blue dogs and the Republicans won’t include it. But as far as I can tell it’s still supported by 50 votes in the Senate, and that means no matter what passes there, it’ll go into reconciliation with the House bill. If they include it at that point, there’s no cloture vote — a straight majority gets it through.

    Also, Robert Gibbs said today that President Obama still supports the public option. Saying it’s not essential is vastly different from saying it can die — there has to be something that raises the level of competition is what’s essential. Of course the public option is the best such alternative, but if the Senate comes up with something ingeniously better that fulfills that requirement, then great.

    So it’s not the time to start screaming and yelling and giving up. It’s time to start screaming and yelling and writing your senators and congressmen.

    I’m less than optimistic, though, because the fringe right, amazingly, is driving the debate. They cry “death panels, socialism, etc.,” which has the effect of moving the goalposts so far to the right that parts of the bill like the public option, which previously sounded reasonable, is now presented as almost radical and therefore expendable.

  265. fishskicanoe says at 12:26 am, August 17th, 2009

    Why would health insurance co-ops be any less of a public option than an HHS run health insurance program? Jeez Louise, you could write into the co-op enabling regs that if a co-op had to close shop its assets and customers would have to be turned over to another non-profit or even the Federal government. From what I understand Germany finances its health care system through non-profit co-ops and they spend about half on health that we do and everyone is covered.

    It sure is awesome being a meat puppet for Goldman Sachs. I haven’t ended the Iraq War yet, I’ve not repealed the Patriot Act, or shut down Guantanamo or ended warrantless wiretapping, or fired Halliburton, or even removed paid murdering mercenaries in working Iraq and still most Democrats tirelessly defending me, saying “at least I’m not Bush” even though I’ve not undone even the simplest and most trivial unconstitutional acts he did while in office making me just like him.

    I think because I’m jabbering a lot about Health Care Reform, which failed under Nixon and Clinton they support me still? As if the 100 billion dollar insurance industry will let me cut them out of the loop! Well, it’s not like it’s hard to lie to these morons, not a single one checked my senate record before voting for me. The more idiot voters we get the easier it is to keep either a person like me or a Republican clone of me in power.

    Well, time for bed and to say my prayers to the all powerful Lord and Master of Eternal Darkness. Who knew that my religion was the same as the last “presidents”?

    Love,
    President Uncle Tom.
