Wonkette Weeping Eagle winner Charles Krauthammer is doing his best to prove he earned it. Today he wonders why Obama has “modesty” about America but none about himself. A president, like any American, is supposed to believe that the United States is the bestest country in the world. But Obama doesn’t! Yet MEANWHILE Obama is constantly “narcissistic” and screaming in our faces about how awesome he is. What is his problem?
Take human rights. After Obama’s April meeting with the president of Kazakhstan, Mike McFaul of the National Security Council reported that Obama actually explained to the leader of that thuggish kleptocracy that we, too, are working on perfecting our own democracy.
JESUS CHRIST, Obama, American democracy is perfect. How can you not see that? How can you not notice how smoothly you pass legislation and how elections are super fair and never decided by nine random old people on an unelected court?
And what about Obama’s immodesty about himself? Krauthammer has very important examples! Krauthammer has not really been paying attention to politics since the 2008 election, but he remembers that Obama spoke in Berlin one time, A PLACE WHERE THERE IS ARCHITECTURE, and then whoever designed the Democratic Convention set “Greek columns” up, such as those that are on many important government building in the United States.
Obama also likes to use the word “I” a lot, Krauthammer notes, as if he is some sort of chief executive or leader or something.
Notice, too, how Obama habitually refers to Cabinet members and other high government officials as “my” — “my secretary of homeland security,” “my national security team,” “my ambassador.” The more normal — and respectful — usage is to say “the,” as in “the secretary of state.” These are, after all, public officials sworn to serve the nation and the Constitution — not just the man who appointed them.
These people do not serve at the pleasure of the president! How can Obama think that? Those advisors are only supposed to listen to what the Constitution tells them, and if the Constitution cannot seem to talk, they are only supposed to listen to random crazies who live in the U.S. They are NOT supposed to serve Obama. They are not HIS advisors. That is definitely not in the job description.
Why won’t Obama acknowledge how kick-ass America is? It is just so disappointing, because as Krauthammer shows, Obama is good at constantly sticking his dick in our faces and bragging about how great he is.

The man is a chancre.
I bet W refers to Roberts as “my chief justice.”
How to write a Washington Post column, Type C:
1. Decide on a conclusion.
2. Find a bunch of random minor incidents or statements that can be made to support that conclusion, if you squint.
3. If you can’t find enough, make some up!
4. Write gibberish
5. Profit!
(Type A is angrily demand we blow up more brown people; Type B is yell at the kids to get off your lawn).
I actually loathe people who constantly need to say how great American is; the fact that Obama doesn’t- if indeed is true– is something to admire him for. But more importantly, Krauthammer is just a human diarrhea puddle.
Didn’t that Monica Goodling freak make DOJ employees swear a loyalty oath to Dubya?
And remember when Krauthammer wrote a really dickish, sore losery piece about it?
Yeah, me neither.
This shit is dog whistle for “uppity”.
Krauthammer is confident. Obama is uppity. Duh.
What disease does this guy have that keeps him in a wheelchair, and why doesn’t it go ahead and kill him already?
The word is “uppity” Krauthammer. Have some balls and say it.
Simple truth Krauty: he is better than most of the America.
Um, Chuckles?
That’s a bit of a stretch: Obama being humble about America and talking about democracy as a work-in-progress is not the same thing as Obama strutting down the catwalk singing “I’m Too Sexy For My Shirt”.
Black men are known for their big, uh, egos, but why is Krauthammer thinking about Obama’s so much?
[re=614375]SlouchingTowardsWasilla[/re]: [re=614379]Hart88[/re]: I believe the WOTD is “uppity”.
The Kraut perfers his speeches to be more like this:

Haha, calling other countries “thuggish kleptocracies” is so adorable.
Why must we continue to pretend that these people are arguing in earnest? Try to stimulate the ruined economy and suddenly “we’re just concerned about the deficit.” Attempt to curb abusive insurance, bank, and oil companies and “we’re concerned about Cold-War-era Communism.” Do a responsible pull out from Iraq (which they advocated up until 2009) and “we want to end Obama’s War which Obama started.” Why does our social contract mandate that we address these as legitimate concerns? Couldn’t we treat them the way I get treated when I try to bring a 20 oz bottle of water through airport security?
The Constitution told me to eat this popsicle. It’s not my popsicle, just A popsicle. I’m eating it, to uphold our Constitutional principles.
Should Obama be using the imperial “we” and “our” instead?
Next thing you know, he’ll be claiming he’s the Decider.
Krauthammer could use a Budweiser enema.
Um, if America’s democracy is untarnished perfection, what do we need to ‘take back?’
Just watch, next week he will be writing about America as a ‘thuggish kleptocracy’ run by Chicago gangsters.
[re=614377]Baldar T Flagass[/re]: He has “I don’t know how to dive into a shallow pool disease”
Hey Charles! You don’t need a great big ego if you have an orbiting constellation of CIA rail guns at your disposal.
Barry refers to the Krautbeercan chicken as my bitch
You just know that Kraut is one of those people who see a black man in a hotel lobby and just automatically say “get my bags, boy.” It was naive of us to ever think that they would ever let Hopey actually govern, even for a minute.
[re=614377]Baldar T Flagass[/re]:1 – Diving accident in his first year of med school.
2 – If there is a deity she hates us and wants us to suffer.
Krauthammer is a piece of shit.
Asshole.
[re=614409]x111e7thst[/re]: Oohh, I love that, the fucker fucked himself doing something stupid! “Hey guys, watch this!” Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. That felt so good. From now on, I shall call him Greg Louganis.
[re=614399]Guppy06[/re]: Or better yet, referring to himself in the third person (Like Julius Caesar – now there was a guy with a massive, um, ego).
[re=614417]Prommie[/re]: Win. I shall follow suit, giving you credit to the extent possible (if not doing so makes me look cool and funnier than I actually am, of course, why then it isn’t possible).
[re=614417]Prommie[/re]: It’s about time for someone to do a remake of Battleship Potemkin. Charles would be perfect for the Odessa Steps scene.
[re=614408]McDuff[/re]: And the great thing is, since K-Hammer is a locomotive-American, the “boy” can just pile the bags on his lap. Chuck’s self-propelled!
Laughing at disabled people is contemptible, except in this case. He’s fuckin askin for it.
[re=614364]rafflesinc[/re]: No, he probably gave him some nickname like “Chiefie” or “Cooter Burger”
I keep waiting for him to jump and do the “Mein Fuhrer! I can walk” line.
I can’t wait to read the Sadly,No takedown of this column.
Obamer should bring back Monica Goodling to administer loyalty oaths, but then they’d have to be loyalty to W. oaths.
[re=614433]user-of-owls[/re]: That’s the most wonderful image I ever had. It’s what I imagine Heaven to be like, where cigarettes grow on trees, bourbon bubbles up from springs and miles and miles of stone stairs for this guy and many others are just waiting, kind of like in that Mel Gibson movie when Mexico was way cooler.
[re=614395]BaconTime[/re]: I think the TSA treatment is too mild. Shuffling him from one line to the next and pawing through his bags just doesn’t do it for me. I think Krauty ought to get the “Full Mel” — Gibson that is. Although having him listen to the solo-album from Mel “Scary Spice” non-stop could work in a pinch, if the other Mel is occupied (drunk).
[re=614449]Ducksworthy[/re]: If it turned out the way it did when some ethnic Uzbeks swore loyalty to a former president in Kyrgystan, that might be a very good idea.
That man’s face makes baby Muhammad cry. It also scared the shit out of my dog the other day, who was watching TV in a very intent manner for some reason.
Saurkrauthammer and his ilk are so principled — they’ll object to anything President Obama does, and then find a principle to tie it to.
Oh, and just for good measure, because I know they hate it and I never get tired of it: President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama. That’s really the only retort that this kinda crap deserves anyway.
Someone needs to get him to a “Summer Home”, with a dimly lit dock.
I *was* really disappointed that Cabbage Mallet here beat out Dickey Cohen, but I feel better now.
Seriously, as much as Krauthammer hates Democrats in general and Obama in particular, THIS is the only thing he can find to bitch about? Krautman, you are just phoning it in…
because that’s all Reagan offered, a lot of feel-good quotes about how great America is. while he was borrowing & spending like a senile astrology follower….
This miserable fucker just oozes contempt for Barry. If you are unlucky enough to catch one of his daily Fox News appearances, you can see it seeping through his pancake corpse make-up.
[re=614366]Way Cool Larry[/re]: a ‘human’ diarrhea puddle ? this is blatant affirmative action , handing him this ‘human diarrhea puddle’ title on a platter …..
[re=614404]The Church of Realism[/re]: It was a liberal gag gone terribly wrong.
Mr. Krauthammer is certainly onto something here! It is not the usual run of things for people who have been elected LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD to think highly of themselves. They are typically humble, shrinking violets, afraid of their own shadows (see, e.g.,T. Roosevelt, L. Johnson), afraid to share their opinions (e.g., um, all of ‘em), full of knowledge of their own unworthiness (e.g., W.). This Obama is really really unique in his lack of humility. Or really really unique in some other way . . . . hmmm, what is it?
If this Democracy thing is so perfect, how did that fucked-up Obama guy get to be in charge of it for a while? Huh? Huh?
I guess this was a kinder, gentler way of calling Obama an uppity n*gger?
If Obama wasn’t so full of himself, he’d be more like the much more humble President who came before him who handed over most of the responsibilities of the Presidency to his Vice President. Or strut around in flight gear.
Who was the humble President who talked about “my government”? Oh, I think that was President Bush. The cabinet is the President’s administration. So my cabinet, my Secretary of Labor. But the government belongs to the people.
Apparently the dog-whistles have turned into a boombox playing Lee Greenwood at 120 dBs.
[re=614395]BaconTime[/re]: rational win.
John McCain never used this kinda crap in his campaign against Obama.
Wait … what?
Never mind; carry on.
But you are in that wheelchair, Charles. You are.
[re=614493]Suds McKenzie[/re]: I prefer the noir variant, a dimly-lit staircase.
Where’s Richard Widmark when you need him?
Ah, I remember the days when the Jews and the Blacks were friends. Kind of.
Despite my 62 years, I did not realize that Krautfucker was wheelchair-bound, possibly because my eyes trained themselves decades ago to avoid any reference to him. (Obviously, this has not been infallible, since I am well aware of his mutant inhuman illogic).
Now, I am, at base, a squishy bleeding-heart libtard, so there is a certain tendency welling up within me to have sympathy for the difficult and restricted life he has had to live, and even to wonder if some of his hostility to ordinary human compassion is a result of his own travails, and perhaps reflects a lack of compassion received.
Then again, there is another part of me that recognizes that he is an utterly egregious asshole (pardon me, grammarians, if that is semantically redundant), who has spent most of his adult life espousing and justifying hatred, inequality, and absolute partisanship.
That part of me, which happens to have the casting vote, says “thank you” to all of the Wonketeers who have made me aware of Dr. Krautlove’s medical situation, because
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
That is all.
Well, at least his rhetoric is pedestrian!
[re=614433]user-of-owls[/re]: dying of laughter imagining that big-headed chicken with a beer-butt rocketing along in the baby buggy-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh, hell- why not go all the way with a Tod Browing remake?….gooblegobble…gooblegobble…
Krauthammer is a GOP douche on steroids.
Old Charles is a scary Beak-Faced Chicken Boy. His turtle lips have kept me from ever reading his column for years. Maybe he is jealous of Obama’s good looks. Oh well for him.
If it is true, he doesn’t deserve to the president of America.

So true Freakishlystrong. Surprised Charlie Krapmouther didn’t pile on by mentioning the “feet on the oval office desk photo.”
Honestly, how does this $hit get printed when a column like that would get bounced from a semi-decent community college newspaper?
I think it is right .. he is a best candidate for the post of president…
