One of the key accomplishments of Barack Obama’s life, according to this loony Barnard College woman, is a DNC speech Barack gave in 2004 when he was “decisive.”

Of course, Barack Obama did not accomplish anything extraordinary before he was elected president. As president, that has not changed. What he has done is show us what a disaster it is when you elect someone based on potential and emotion instead of past results.

I am serious that the seven minutes from 2:00 to 9:00 in this video of a Barnard College woman introducing Barack Obama rank among the most revolting things I have seen this election cycle, and that is saying something.

Contrast the vacuous, elitist, self-congratulatory, out-of-touch scene at Barnard College on Monday with the serious message Mitt Romney is getting out via this web ad.

Tomorrow on NPR: “Are a few terrorist attacks a year actually good for national security?”

Special thanks to USPolitical.com for the production of this PSA.

For years, we have been hearing from leftists with complaints about how Mitt Romney transported his dog, Seamus, on a family vacation in 1983. He put the dog in a wind-protected crate on the roof of the family car. He is accused of being cruel for not putting the family pet inside the car.

It is not a timely story. It is not relevant to Mitt Romney’s fitness for the office of the president. It is rarely reported using accurate facts. Yet the story has persisted. It has been already been covered extensively. Likely, dozens more articles will still be written about the “incident” in leading newspaper, magazine, and online publications the next six months before the election.

In January 2012, President Obama’s chief campaign advisor, David Axelrod, tweeted a photo of Obama in a presidential limousine with first pet, Bo Obama inside. Axelrod remarked snidely: “How loving owners transport their dogs.” This was meant to be a jab at Romney.

Last week, blogger Jim Treacher noted Barack Obama’s own words from Mr. Obama’s own memoir in which the president fondly recalls eating dog meat. The president states he was “introduced” to dog meat as a child in Indonesia and explained that the dog meat was “tough.” Jim Treacher merely publicized this information.

Imagine the shock of conservatives who had heard Romney harangued about the Seamus incident for years and years, only to discover that Obama’s prior treatment of dogs was much worse than Mitt Romney’s (The dogs in the Obama stories always died, you see).

Only no one has been asking Barack Obama about eating dogs as a child, or why he wrote about it in the mid-1990s like it was a cute thing to do.

Some have even defended Obama by claiming attacks on him for eating a dog are attacks on a child. Yet this is something that Obama wrote about in the 1990s as an acceptable cultural norm in Indonesia. He also wrote about tiger meat (hopefully from a species of tiger not on the endangered species list).

The excerpt about dog meat comes right in the middle of a swelling tribute to Lolo and Indonesian culture that Barack Obama writes about affectionately:

That’s how things were, one long adventure, the bounty of a young boy’s life.

Today, All-Encompassingly.com has solicited the assistance of USPolitical.com to create a Sarah McLachlan “Animal Cruelty”-style PSA to address this situation.

Update: Thanks to Jonah Goldberg at NRO for the link (and providing the #prayforbo campaign inspiration).

Heh.

Dick Clark has died at 82. This is not expected to interfere with his duties as the host of New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.

But hey, at least they included “your mom” as an afterthought.

Former Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) writes in a new book that President Obama ditched him in the 2010 election after he helped Obama win the biggest legislative victory of his term by passing healthcare reform.

Specter also claims that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not uphold his promise to grant him seniority accrued over 28 years of service in the Senate as a Republican.

“How dare President Obama and Harry Reid reward my disloyalty with broken promises!”

He makes surprising revelations about Republican leaders, as well — he writes that former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-Kan.) told him that he would have made the same decision to defect from the GOP if he had been in Specter’s position.

Right. I’m sure Dole, former GOP presidential nominee and majority leader would have…switched parties to help Obama. Ok, Arlen.
