A Hug Too Far:Obama-Emanuel embrace is a sign of weakness - Larry Kudlow
Larry Kurdlow is a stain.


Am I the only one who saw weakness when President Obama and his departing chief of staff Rahm Emanuel gave each other big, fat, full-bore hug following their speeches at the resignation event in the White House’s East Room on Friday?

Remember, this is on global television. And it has to do with the very top of the United States government. Our friends and enemies were all watching.

I think the hug lacked dignity. It did not send a message of American power and forcefulness. So I fret about the reaction around the world to this kind of fraternity-like emotionalism in full public view.

15. or most importantly this:
The only kind of multitasking Bush could do: being serviced at the front and back door simultaneously.

20. It depends. Was there any tongue involved?
I'm still looking for my pictures of Shit-fer-Brains caressing every bald head that came within caressing distance.

Maybe he was just terminally horny and wanted to schtup everything. (Quick, Jenna! Hide Barney! Daddy is in one of those moods again!)

12. These pics just came in very handy
I had a righty friend try and make this a huge deal - hugging not being presidential and shit. Pointing out the chimp hugging both putin and karzai was a real treat. Thanks.

6. Yes, Larry, you're the only one.
:eyes:

You're a liar, a hypocrite, and a greasy slug. Anyone with a partially-functioning brain can see right through you, so go fuck yourself.

9. What universe do these people inhabit?
"Somehow the Obama-Emanuel embrace seemed demeaning — to the presidency, to our officialdom, and to our strength of purpose."

But, then again, he's playing to his readers. The comments are crazy. Lots of birthers calling for his impeachment and calling him a Commie.

10. If he meant the metaphorical "hug," letting Rahm undercut so many campaign pledges
Edited on Mon Oct-04-10 12:07 PM by villager
...he might have an interesting point. Getting his panties twisted over an actual hug?

Jeez, what makes these rightwingers so touchy about bodies? Especially theirs?

24. They will complain about ANYTHING, won't they?
Especially anything. What a pathetic, desperate bunch the repressives are, and never moreso than when they're out of power.
