Captain Sullenberger and Obama? Oh deary dear.

Unlike our soon to be president, Captain Sullenberger can point to a decades long record of actual accomplishment, accomplishment on a daily basis, though by all accounts, he would blush to do so. Where Obama admits in one of his self-glorifying tomes that he could not tell even his friend what he, as a "community organizer," did, Captain Sullenberger surely has no such problem. Yet again, he would not find such self-aggrandizement easy or pleasant. True professionals, true men feel no need to brag. They know their accomplishments speak for them, as does their character, and they also know that those who truly count will know such things.

When Obama was struggling to find himself and his identity through a drug induced fog, Sullenberger was doing something profoundly dangerous each and every day: Flying fighter jets for his nation (something George Bush--both--did too). While Obama is supremely certain of his greatness and superiority, to the point of making his own seal, inventing "The Office Of The President Elect," and many more example abound, Captain Sullenberger simply makes significant accomplishments every day, and even his neighbors speak of his humility.

Oh yes, and The One is lauded far and wide (at least within MSM newsrooms) for his unflappable calm and supernatural cool, while Captain Sullenberger lives it, and lives it in a way that protects and saves lives. When he says that his performance in saving lives was merely doing his job, he means it. Obama's full time job is self-glorification; Sullenberger's public service.
In a real world dictionary of accomplishment, one would find Obama's photo under "narcissist," and Sullenberger's under "hero."

Obama measuring up to Sullenberger? Sure. Just about as much as he measures up to Abraham Lincoln. Check back with me in four years or so on that one, after Obama has actually had a chance to accomplish something. Until then, Obama doesn't even measure up to his hyper inflated self-image.

If I ever needed proof that the Obamatrons are out of there pebble sized minds this is it. My GOD Lincoln and now this.

Well, at least she got one thing right when she noted that "people entrusted with public money are overwhelmingly inclined to waste it, steal it, or simply misuse it."

I predicte that when it is all over Obama will only be remeberd for being the first black president

"Though a handful of people did predict the financial crisis of last autumn, the fact is that almost no one in mainstream politics did so, any more than anyone ever predicted that a flock of geese could bring down an Airbus."

Sorry, Anne, but that handful of people included George W Bush and John McCain. The flock of geese, on the other hand, included the likes of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

O Obama, divine Spirit of light and love, I consecrate to Thee my intellect, my heart, my will and my whole being for now and for eternity.

Praise Him!

Praise The One!

Praise Obama!

That is hilarious, Bob. Nicely done.

"...any more than anyone ever predicted that a flock of geese could bring down an Airbus."

Except that aircraft manufacturers HAD predicted it, and more importantly, had PLANNED for it, which is why Capt. Sullenberger was able to draw on his training and flawlessly execute the needed maneuvers when the situation arose.

Our incompetent politicians and government officials? Not so much.

God, she is some industrial-strength stupid. Really, Anne, just stay away from things you know absolutely nothing about and stick to the straight Obama worship.
