Obama--Our New Captain Queeg?

Rate: 4 Flag

Obama--Our New Captain Queeg?

Obama's vacillation on the pressing issue of troop levels in Afghanistan and a host of other issues where he has betrayed campaign promises and avoided important decisions in favor of pursuing photo ops and other self-aggrandizing occasions raises the issue of whether our country is really safe--politically, economically, and militarily--in the hands of this Chicago-style community organizer who is hell bent on transforming the American landscape in his egomaniacal image.

 The guy's ego is beyond belief.  Even today, he was talking about the "accomplishments" of "my Administration," thereby going against a tradition of presidents before him who refer to their administrations in the first person plural.

When Obama is not pursuing public and personal exposure, he's off to Europe collecting undeserved prizes and apologizing for a country his understanding of which is tinctured by his past association with rabid racists.

Fortunately, Obama will be relieved of his command in 2012, and not by a coup d'etat.  Obama's policies may try to reduce our country's practices to those of a banana republic, but fortunately for him, our procedures for the orderly progression of political leaders will allow him to fill out his term.  We'll just have to be patient for a while and hope for the best.

Run-on sentence alert!
It drives me crazy that Obama has continued the practice of GW Bush of referring to "my cabinet," "my government," and "my administration."

As far as 2012 goes, we'll see. Many of us on the left were absolutely certain that Bush would be replaced in 2004. I believe that most on the right were sure that Clinton would be a one-term president too.

A lot can and will happen between now and 2012.
Not that you'd know a run-on sentence if it bit you, but my post doesn't contain one.

Perhaps you'd like to deviate from your group's penchant for making charges without evidential support by stating what you consider to be a run-on sentence in my post. I tremble in anticipation.
Check out your opening sentence. If nothing appears amiss, then I'm afraid I can't help you.
I don't know why, without compensation or at least the sale of my book, I take the trouble, but the sentence to which you refer has as its subject "vascillation" and as its verb "raises." The rest is a collection of clauses and phrases that are obviously beyond your capacity to understand. It is in no way a run-on sentence; in fact, it's not even a compound sentence, which is a prerequisite for approaching run-on sentence status. I suggest you play in a more hospitable sandbox.
"I don't know"

The understatement of the century, triggie. I've deleted your comment because of its abuse of the language to which I have dedicated my career.
Yeah that's a run on sentence!
Oh boy a self made editor and censor. Nice excuse for deleting my comment. Censor. Censor. Any improper English here? Now how do you spell EGOMANIACAL Gordon?
What a puffed up putz...
I have to agree the first sentence is not what any of my English teachers would have called 'run-on', though any number of my editors would likely raise eyebrows, if not serious doubts, at the advisability of a 74 word lede.

As to the substance of the post, I'm a little perplexed at the criticism of Obama egocentricity; I don't personally find him any more self-admiring than others in his field of endeavor.

And, if I were a betting man, I'd offer long odds on Obama being a two-term president right about now. Conservatives are going to need to convene an entirely new political party before they have representation in the White House again.

Triggie,

I spelled the word correctly. I'm embarrassed for you. Run along.
you lose Gordon


ego maniacal would be proper


and I suppose you didn't see or don't care to reply to LL
"I have to agree the first sentence is not what any of my English teachers would have called 'run-on', though any number of my editors would likely raise eyebrows, if not serious doubts, at the advisability of a 74 word lede."

Thanks, LL, for helping me put Tom and Dave in their place.

Since my opening sentence certainly seduced you into reading the remainder of my post, I suppose it wasn't that bad a lede, your editors' views to the contrary notwithstanding.
Are you nuts, triggie? The word is "egomanical." Make a fool of yourself somewhere else.
one last note big G.

maybe this is only in North America but type egomaniacal in a comment like you just did presumably a minute ago.
See the red line underneath it? What does that mean to YOU.
Now right click on the misspelled word for options.
There ya go....
Dear Triggie

Have you ever considered consulting a dictionary? I know the stories therein are on the short side, but that should appeal to someone with an attention span as limited as yours.

The fact remains that "egomaniacal" is a perfectly good adjective, and I'm not going to tolerate your ignorance any longer.
As a professional in this area, there are no run-on sentences here. But some of them are very awkwardly phrased. The length and tone of them creates a feeling of rushed ... confusion. Hemingway's sentence structures might be a better choice for discussing political differences.

Who is Moby Dick here, by the way? Rush Limbaugh? I think your analogy is very strained, honestly. I'd rather hear from you what you think might be done differently than what appears to be raving. I think you're more concerned anyway in a Conrad sort of way. Darkness being the unspoken whale in the room, yes?

But of course I could be wrong.
Wow, 72 words and one paragraph for a single sentence. Not a run on, but impressive.

"Who is Moby Dick here, by the way?"

I hate to quarrel with a "professional in this area," but could you just possibly be confusing Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny Court Martial with Captain Ahab in Moby Dick?

Comments fall of of here as fast as they are added it seems. This one I'll copy and keep re-posting as fast as you can delete. Besides the fact that your picture looks like Darth Vader when he was revealed... cooked, your point in this post is lost on me and seemingly everyone else. You have garnered not a single rate. You have a shitty reputation on OS and now I know why. You bear many resemblances in your posture to Dr. Amy, and while I suppose you may take that as a compliment; please allow me to assure you it is not.

That should get you some attention for your shallow viewpoint on the front feed. Bitch.
70 comments! I'm overwhelmed. Readership at last! Keep 'em coming.
Lonnie Lazar,

Are you freaking kidding me? Obama is the most egotistical POTUS in the history of our country! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lonnie listen up. Obama would suck his own cock if he could. As it is, the media and his wife will have to suffice.

Here's the liberal THIS WEEK on ABC discussing Obama's ego.

Please Lonnie, back away from the Kool-Aid.
poorsinner to the rescue... yawn.
I was tired.... even before I read this.
Good night Gordon Osmond and your personal audience of one.
Ouch Gordo... even poorsinner didn't give ya a rate!
Trig and Drew-Silla,

Have you guys lost your minds? WTF? If you're that pissed at Gordon, you should write a post about it. Repeating the same comment is beneath both of you. Just saying...
poorsinner, the desire to engage in autofellatio may or may not be tied to one's ego.
"Repeating the same comment is beneath both of you."

I think you're overestimating their height, but thanks for the support.
Hi PoorSinner. If Gordy wasn't such a comment-deleting pussy I wouldn't repeat them. If he's going to do a post then delete everyone who diagrees with his rot he may as well close comments.
Why would I close comments and keep you and triggie from making perfect asses of yourselves?

Your incredibly vulgar use of the "p" word indicates that you are not only immature and vulgar but also, perhaps most importantly, totally lacking in self esteem and respect for the gender you purport to represent.
Thank you all for the entertainment!
I've got one for you Obama supporters:

"I am my brother's keeper."

LINK THIS!

Obama is an egomaniacal liar. He cannot tell the truth OR help his brother, aunt, mother, grandmother... ect.
"Obama is an egomaniacal liar."

Careful, ps, lil' triggie likes "egomaniacal" broken down into syllables so he can deal with it more easily. (It's really unfair of me to talk about him when he's asleep with his blankie, but some crazy lady is keeping me up late with her illiterate drivel.)
Dear Drew-Silla,

Come on! If Gordon doesn't cuss or swear, that's his right. As for the deletions, I might have missed some of them, but there are an awful lot still remaining.

Dear Gordon,

Why not let them spout off without deletion? If their comments are really that offensive, I think it reflects on them and not you. And besides, you have over 80 comments or so!

I suppose I admire them in their regard to be able to speak (write) freely on a post such as yours. You can always have the last word.

Just saying...
I see that Gordo is deleting comments again, so I'll repeat my last one and hit the road.

Your use of your incredibly pustulent mug as an avatar makes me want to vomit, so I guess we're even. As far as self esteem goes, if you had any you wouldn't feel the need to censor people who disagree with you. Pussy.

I see that Gordo is deleting comments again, so I'll repeat my last one and hit the road.

Dear Gordon,

You know what? The spell-checker didn't like that word. I rechecked it, because I was sure it was correct and sure enough I was right.

It just goes to show even a computer can get it wrong. You can't always trust technology. Teachers and librarians were the greatest help in my youth... way back when.
It does seem like poorsinner101's comment on Obama's alleged proclivity for self-pleasure has made it through the deletion filter. I can't help but wonder if a leftie like me could get away with such vulgarity. I doubt it. Is it possible that Mr. Osmond has a different set of moral standards for those who agree with his politics? Why that would make him a hypocrite and I've never thought that of Gordon. Now I'm confused.
Before we get all exercised about this deletion stuff, let me remind you that out of more than 100 comments, two and only two dealt with the substance of my post.

All the others were incorrect comments on my grammar, incorrect comments about my spelling, a misunderstanding of my literary allusion, and, most plentifully, vulgar and illiterate outpourings by a couple of non-entities whose inaccuracies had been pointed out to them in no uncertain terms. So much for the free, uncensored exchange of ideas.
Dear Drew-Silla,

Perhaps I should remind you that commenting on someone's looks or avatar is liberal "no-no". While we may control our posture, our composure, our composition, and our ideology, our outward appearance is but a reflection of the biology we inherit.

An apology would be appropriate.

BTW: Your avatar is beautiful!
And so is yours Gordon!
Dear Roger,

Is really that amazing that my semi-crude sexual remark would make through to the comments that remain? Oral gratification seems to be a trademark of President Obama and therefore a prescient addition to the conversation.
That was certainly my "take" on it.
Poorsinner101, you're missing the point, or at least my point. I have no problem with your comment, but Gordon usually deletes anything with any kind of vulgar language (his words, not mine).

The fact that your remark about Obama is still posted makes me wonder if Gordo goes easier on members of the flock.
Roger,

It seems to me that Gordon has been quite reasonable by leaving most of the offending remarks. If you or I were to be assaulted verbally in such a manner, would we be so permissive?

As for my comment, my use of a common vulgarity might be cause for deletion... but in the context with which I used it, Gordon must have seen the relevance of the comparison.

And you did use the term "usually"...
And by the way...

There are no run-on sentences in Gordon's post.

Period.
I did use the term "usually" but that was a mistake on my part. My experience is that he always deletes comments like that, but I don't read every one of Gordon's posts.

This is not about the Trig and Drew comments.

If I had commented, like you did, that Obama would suck his own cock if he could but is forced to leave that duty to Michelle and the media, Gordon would have given me the permanent heave-ho.

He deleted a comment of mine for much less.

(10 second pause)

I am now questioning my life, and why I am in a debate regarding Gordon's deletion standards. I need to do better than this.

Peace. RF
Roger,

That made me laugh! Very funny. Come on people... lighten up.

I'm off to find a Captain Queeg video to post and then it's nite -nite time.
Sorry it took so long, but I watched a lot of videos. After this, I'm going to watch the whole movie then I'm off to bed.

"Captain Queeg's Personality"
According to my favorite website, dictionary.com, egomaniacal is correct, even if the spell check here doesn't like it.

Second, your leaving of the repeat posts finally proves the adage it's better to keep your mouth, in this case keyboard, shut instead of opening it and proving the point.
That link is dead.

Try the youtube version...

Catnmus says "your leaving of the repeat posts finally proves the adage it's better to keep your mouth, in this case keyboard, shut instead of opening it and proving the point."

One could say the same about this entire post, and for that matter most of the dreck that mushbrains like Gordo and his fellow travellers spew. The ninny was censoring people, and as I said above, if he doesn't have the balls to let people say their piece in the comments section he may as well close it. It's what you white wringer types do best really; vomit out a bunch of rubbish and then, when anybody dares to call you on it, hold your hands over your ears and say "lalalalalalalalalalalalala" so as not to have to hear anything which contradicts your world view.
No, Gordon, I was making a wry joke. Not surprising you didn't get it.

But, er, I see you have bigger problems on your thread than that. Wow, Drew, you're mad, huh?
Oh, don't you get it? I was just joking.

That's the oldest dodge in the book, odie, but good try.

My problem with Drew, now the racist Drew (or does "white wringer have some non-denominational meaning of which I'm unaware?), is nothing compared with Drew's problem with Drew. Medic!
Forgot to close the quote on "write wringer." Sorry.
"Obama would suck his own cock if he could."

Well, no shit. I'd bet most men would. Is that a bad thing?
WOW!! The lefties sure do get their thongs in a wad. I guess if they ever actually decided to debate a posted issue with logic with a rational thought process they might lose some of their hateful anger.

Rated for pissing off the most liberals in just one post.
Gordon, you ask whether our country is safe under an Obama administration. It most certainly is not. (I think it is in doubt whether we will make it to 2102, at this point.)

Drew-Silla, you obviously had some bad things happen to you to be so hateful. Get some help from a qualified professional.
rwnutjob,
I'm not sure how things will be going in 2102 either, but since I'll be 149 years old I'll probably be too senile to care:)
Yes, that is so a run-on sentence.
Since the world is to come to an end just before Christmas 2012, could that be because Obama is going to get things blown up just after the election in Nov 2012 when he becomes a one term president?

Makes you wonder,
Steve

As several people who are hardly sympathetic to my point of view have admitted that it's NOT a run-on sentence, I'm afraid you're going to have to explain your reasoning rather than just express a conclusion. A run-on sentence is not just a sentence that is longer or more complicated than one you would have written.

No rush; take your time to do the research.
You know, Gordon, actually you are right. To be precise, it is a run-off-at-the-mouth sentence.
Steve

You were wrong on the facts, and I couldn't care less about your opinion.
