What Is It About the Obama Administration?

by Little Miss Attila on April 13, 2009

Is there anyone working at the White House these days who isn’t a narcissist?

There was, yesterday, the usual odd pairing of ‘tude (“this is the bestest Presidential administration in the history of Presidential administrations!”) with abysmal incompetence.

So we are treated to the spectacle of an Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn that features (1) obscenities and sexually suggestive lyrics in front of an audience composed primarily of young children, and (2) a White House Press Release that claims the event is being broadcast on the Web for the very first time:

Many of the activities at this year’s event will be webcast live on the White House website. . . . . This is the first time the activities at the White House Easter Egg Roll have been broadcast online.

Which would be true, if the Bush Administration hadn’t been doing this since . . . oh, the spring of 2002.

Redstate:

I know the chic thing to think these days among Obama staff and supporters is that history — particularly anything “new” or “cool” — started on January 20 of this Year of our Lord 2009, but I’m pretty sure they’re all still aware of the existence of Google™.

All they had to do before putting out a press release pairing the White House seal with an outright falsehood was perform the simplest of Google™ searches to make sure the stuff they were peddling was, in fact, true.

And why, Jeff, would they care now?

Famous D.C.:

According to a tipster on the ground, Fergie serenaded the kids on the South Lawn with an unedited version of “Fergalicious”- including these lyrics:

Delicious (so delicious)
But I ain’t promiscuous
And if you was suspicious
All that sh*t is fictitious
I blow kisses (mmmwwahhh)
That puts them boys on rock, rock
And they be lining down the block just to watch what I got (got, got, got).

Nothing says “lord and savior” like cursing in front of nine year-olds. Apparently Fergie cleaned it up during her second performance.

Well, um. Good. Holiest day of the year, and whatnot.

Stay classy, Big O.
