I wonder what Breitbart is up to quote:Obama campaigned in 2007-8 on a promise to meet American enemies "without preconditions," and met and embraced the late Hugo Chávez of Venezuela in 2009. He has also pushed for negotiations with the Iranian regime--long before the current "moderate" president took power. President Obama seemed pleased to meet Castro, who also spoke at the memorial, and the handshake was broadcast live on television worldwide.  quote:Other than enthusiastically shaking the hand of Cuban dictator Raul Catro, another bizarre moment for President Obama at Nelson Mandela's memorial service was when Obama was caught in a lighthearted moment taking what is known as a "selfie" with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Hey maybe it's time we end having such hostile relations with Cuba? We're economic partners with CHINA for god's sake. Cold War is over.

Somehow it makes all the sense in the world that at Breitbart a moment like that can simultaneously be lighthearted and bizarre. I think the real shock is that they recognized it as lighthearted instead of just jumping right to "HE'S DANCING ON MANDELA'S GRAVE!

Gotta wait for the last Cuban diehards in Florida to pass on or until Florida is no longer a toss-up state with a crap load of electoral votes. Or for us to switch off the Electoral College system. A long rear end time is what I'm saying.

Rush Limbaugh is melting down. He literally said 'there was a time when America had a quality of leader that would not associate with whatever is going on there in South Africa.' I knew whether or not Obama went to the memorial service and if he spoke or did not speak, Rush would spin it. This just made me chuckle.

kik2dagroin posted:Rush has pretty much parroted these stories verbatim within the first 30 minutes on his show today. Well okay, he threw in a few misogynistic phrases about the 'blonde babe' in the middle of Obama's selfie and used audio of CNN pointing out who Obama was shaking hands with COMMUNISTS That 'blonde babe', the Prime Minister of Denmark. But remember, there's no wider problem with how we view and treat women in modern society.

Rush then proceeded to end his first hour with another Drudge headline talking about the earliest sub-zero temps we've experienced in 18 years. Clearly we are entering the New Ice Age and the liberals are wrong about global warming Trap sprung Rush! It's climate change now!

Looking at the photo itself, I don't even know if Obama is taking a photo - it almost looks as if the three are looking at something else entirely. (Note how Helle Thorning-Schmidt isn't smiling, and Obama is giving at what can at best be called a grin)

There are a bunch of pictures floating around of Michelle looking unhappy and Obama smiling with Thorning-Schmidt. Absent any context, of course, but they look like stereotypical "wife is angry husband is talking to attractive woman" images - so I expect to hear a lot about it in the coming days. Now I'm curious what was actually happening.

icantfindaname posted:I actually enjoy conservatives digging their hole deeper in regards to social issues that they will lose in short order, because watching them panic and crash is the only conservative media I can stand to consume. Listening to them talk about issues they're not losing on tends to end in me screaming at the radio. The recent right wing howling over the Pope is a perfect example, I'd never have been able to stand Limbaugh long enough to have heard him call the Pope a Marxist. fade5 fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Dec 11, 2013 |

There was singing and dancing in honor of Mandela's life, so it's not like this was supposed to be a somber occasion. What were the world leaders supposed to be doing, weeping and rending their garments?

Hahaha, Hannity is going on about deporting Canadian geese back to Canada and killing owls (it's cheaper than trap and release) so they're not getting sucked into airplane engines. Show seems to be more bullshitting than I remember, it's definitely an improvement.
