There simply is no other way to explain the statements of White House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew this morning on CNN's State of the Union. Lew was asked by Candy Crawley about a recent statement by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid indicating he would not be bringing a...

Once again this CHILD-MAN enbarrases us and our allies. Yet has no conscience when endorsing Marxists. Ummmmm….. Congress going to speak up ? Naw…..no stones ! Look what we have become…..disgusting.
The BACK DOOR??? What the hell?? Does he think China won't care as much if he shuffles the Dali Lama out the back door?? What a troll we have in the White House!!!
Obama can openly greet Chavez but sends the Dali Lama out the back door to placate the Chinese. He is a disgrace and we must send him packing in 3 years. We won't send him packing though if we revert back to the McCain party. It is conservatism that has saved this nation in the past and is what will save us now. This Dali Lama incident is just another example of how Obama has no backbone. Imagine how other more important decisions are being made.
If Obumble for some reason felt he couldn't get China's bloomers in a knot, then
he shouldn't have had the Dali Lama come to the WH only to be treated in such
an undignified manner…He could have arranged a meeting somewhere else,
afterall King Obumble has no qualms about filling his jet with fuel and taking off
to all parts of the world for even lesser reasons….
Amazing that the "front door" is always open for Andy Stern, Al Sharpton, Berth Lewis, Bill Ayers and Obamao's many other esteemed guests. One can only assume that the Mao lovers in the WH were afraid China would cut off our governments allowance.
How dare him do this to a man who has given his life for his belief! I was wondering what he was going to do to marginalize this man! Well there ya go… The arrogance and out right disdain that he shows to the world is glaring to say the very least. …
I do not even know what to say anymore!
I agree with Naan, since when would someplace such as the White House simply throw their garbage out the back door? Once again you cannot even believe what you to see with this administration. It is inconcivable that a shot like this would be made public. The games they play and the shame they have brought upon us!
Hmm, sort of looks like a bunch of documents in those trash bags.
Deplorable. Americans who see this and are not enraged deserve a piece of crap like Obama.
Wasn't Obama recently at a Home Depot for a photo op. He should of taken some stimulus $$ and picked up a couple of those nice Rubbermaid 32 gallon garbage cans/w lids.
This picture makes me sad.
Man-Boy spin president strikes again. What a bunch of maggots.
Click on this link to see his outrageous common thievery: http://bit.ly/bzUEFh
This info. may prove to be his downfall. Pass this info. on, patriots.
Blaming Obama for this travesty will make you feel good, but he is just a bit player. Sure he's an embarrassment, but what does anyone expect? He is who he is. The US has made China its manufacturing base, and with their dollars they buy our debt allowing us to continue our insane domestic and foreign policies (all financed by credit). Does anyone think Hu Jintao takes Obama seriously? Ironically it is Chinese investment (purchasing Treasuries) that allows the US to continue on without either massive inflation or default. Everyone blaming China should look hard at their own government–a government that has become the enemy of anything truly American, at least in the traditional sense. Unfortunately, I don't see much within the Republican party that gives me hope. When Dick Cheney and (by proxy) George Bush the younger, along with that dysfunctional opportunist and erstwhile anti-intellectual Alaskan governor are held up as our way out, it seems to me, then, that we have learned nothing, and it will simply be "business as usual."
Perfect! Nothing says"F*** you" like a boot to the back door and a new pair of cuff links! Good going POTUS!
Perhaps the POtuS would have shown more respect if the Dali Lama had damned America a few times.
If only ObamaPOS, Holder, Gibbs, Axelrod, Emmanuel, Pelosi, Reid were IN THOSE BAGS. Then we TRULY would have disposable garbage.
This is probably all by design. WH media spinners probably expected to placate the PO'd Chinese with this image, and it will pass without serious comment in the American sycophant press. As for the Dali Lama, he's probably just thinking, "trash on the curb, trash in the Oval Office, trash everywhere!"
There is something very fishy about this. Why did th eDL go in the front – or at least, I saw a photo of him going up the drive – and out the back??? The Chinese have known all along that the DL was going to see Obumble, the poor one, and he loves insulting the Chinese and annoying them – not very Buddhist – so why this nonsense? Who wanted this? TheDL is adept at pretending to be so very humble, but the truth is he is a Globalist and part of the NWO – so I would not get over exited by this display. I am afraid that he is actually way too powerful politically, and far too friendly with all the wrong people – such as Al Gore, but worse, Elli Wesiel, Feinstein, Lantos (until he dies, but nwo no doubt, his wife) – and WHTY does he bow so very low to the Pelosi woman?
We know, michael. The American public is learning fast, but it's tough with a complicit media. Americans need to take control. We're a powerhouse as long as we control the feelings of helplessness & fear that understandably arise as we learn the depths of the shit we're in.
Every time we pass on info. via e-mail, twitter, face-book, or actual words, we inform our brothers and sisters, thereby arming ourselves. Come on folks, whether we like it or not, we were born for this moment. Let's get cracking!
God bless America.

This photo is reminiscent of another photo taken at the time of the beer-fest.
The reek of progressive arrogance smothers even the putrid stench of rotting garbage.
How freaking rude can you get; uncivilised, even. The whole world is watching; history is watching.
Another act of voting present, very common among cultural relativists (e.g., Clintigula tried marijuana, but didn't inhale; Baraq Hassan, peace be upon him, invites the Dalai Lama to the White House but disses him as a guest so that he can satisfy half of our Master Creditor State's wishes concerning the spiritual leader of another renegade province. Stay classy, Barry!
Just an absolute lack of class on behalf of O'Bumble and his goons. Guess he thought he was back home in Chicago where his friends were accustomed to walking past trash when visiting him.
This clown is becoming more of an embarrasment to our country every day.
Seriously, who's surprised? This is basically what Obama did to the Iranian people when they stood up for their freedom.
Why wait 3 years?
Impeach now.
Jail in 3 years.
Obama, you are an embarrassment to our country and your office. The fact that you would do something that you know is not the right thing to do (why else would you be sneaking people in). We Mr. Osama do not sneak, tip toe, lie or cheat. It's a continues nightmare with this Idiot (Osama) in office. We can't take 3 more years of this crap!!!!!!!
Announcing March on Washington to Demand Obama's Resignation

Just when you think it cannot get any more embarrassing, it gets more embarrassing.
Not only does he think the American people are stupid…he thinks the rest of the world is too……What a jerk.
Obama and his administration are such an embarrassment to our Country. What's next? The Queen of England having to sneak in and out through a side window? I wonder what cheap and inappropriate gift Obama got for the Dali Lama as well.
Let see, Obama makes the forceable exiled leader of a country illegally occupied by Red China – Tibet – sneak in and out of OUR White House to APPEASE the communists that are holding part of our MASSIVE debt.
That SUCKS.
Just a few thoughts here folks:
Throwing the trash out the back door is a common practice in many a south side neighborhoods….A homey is a homey is a homey.
One of the good things about articles such as this one is we will, more than likely, have little input from the lefties who chime in BG.com.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Yesterday some idiot posted a comment stating Eric Holder's handling of the Justice Department and the captured terrorists will show the 'world what a just and free country we are…" Its a shame how one little snapshot can put the actions of this entire bunch in perfect focus.
It must be a lonely feeling being an oppressed people any where throughout this world.
To the people of Tibet, to the religion of Buddism and to the Dali Lama; PLEASE, please forgive us.
Yes and how did he arrange garbage bags to be placed along his exiting route. Please Isabella…
No matter how you slice it, and you are indeed slicing it kinda thin here, who cares if there was someone on the grassy knoll.
OK, OK…we'll admit we must take him back….at least until his retirement palace is completed in Venezuela.
Another most embarassing and sad day for our country. Trash in and outside the White House, nothing sacred there. God Bless America.
You can take the boy out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the boy!
But you can apparently take the moby out of HuffyPo, Kos, Firedoglake, et al…
So what should we do there michael???…. crash a plane into a building????
Picture / Bush / Cheney????????? Let's just stay focused (pun) on one thing at a time there Mikey.
BINGO!!!!! that what you yell out when you win,,, and Pal…. that's what you are.
Amazingly, the origins and purpose of all this chaos are predicted and accounted for in the prophetic, political Conspiracy Thriller book, BLACK ROAD 2012, which I bought on amazon, and was a real goose-bumpy, totally absorbing ride: http://tinyurl.com/amazon-BLACK-ROAD-2012
He did this because he didn't want to offend China. My thought on this is… F**K CHINA!!! They think they're so much in charge of our nation because they buy up so much of our debt. But recently China has announced that they will stop buying our debt. GOOD!!! I don't know about you guys but I am sick and tired of being in debt to a communist nation!
I wish that China would just roll over and die already. Thankfully though 1/3 of their population is so elderly that in the next thirty years the fall of China might actually become a reality.
But let me get away from China for a second and move on to another subject.
What on God's green earth are you doing OBAMA?!?!? I guess treating Great Britain and Japan like trash wasn't enough for you, huh? Yeah Obama great frakking plan! Let's go piss off the Dali Lama next shall we? I guess our next President is gonna have to go on a real apology tour to our allies because this asshole we have in the White House dosen't understand the meaning of 'ally'. Your in my political sights Obama and I will be with great zeal to vote you out of the White House.
Okay, I'm done. I'm DONE! I didn't know bad news could be a replacement for coffee. =P
With all the money they're spending in Washington, you'd think O'Bama would spring for a dumpster at the White House.
Yeah. This is the same WH staff who thought it would be a great idea to have visiting doctors dress up in WH-supplied lab coats for a photo shoot. You only do stuff like that if you are an incompetent PR drone, confident that the MSM will airbrush over such an embarrassing detail, or both.
You must consider the source, can you imagine what it looks like inside or what it smells like in there.
What a joke this moron is.
This so called man,which we have to call our president is a disgrace to us & our country!! He takes the Dalai Lama out by the garbage & gives him cuff links??? What is he going to wear them with, his flip flops!!! He doesn't even wear sleeves!!! He gave the Queen, a Ipod with Obama on it, and he gave someone else DVD's that don't work in their country!!! Does this man ever have a clue!! Maybe he needs a czar on etiquette!!! He is a bafoon!! Please help us for the next 3 years!!!
Give it a rest, you and your ilk blamed Bush for everything under the sun for his terms and for everything the MUSLIM hes done since and you still are. this is all obama and no one else. The idiots that voted for this POS are getting exactly what you deserve.
What is the saying, GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT.
Mr. Friedberg, it's pretty tacky to self-promote your book from an anonymous account. Be up front about it.
And yes, I post anonymously. I'm also not trying to sell anything.
Lots of class. All of it low!
I put it on my facebook!! This is an outrage!! Fox News caves to the Saudi's AND Obama!!!???
To make the facepalm emoticon appear in your message, use the following:
bama:
Pops right up!
I guess this is not one of the two million jobs that were SAVED.
I sure likes the White House trash man jos is not one of the two million jobs saved by the stimulus money.
I'm surprised Richard Gere hasn't condemned this yet. I hope this picture is photoshopped. Please tell me the dalai Lama isn't being escorted out the backdoor. Please! *gulp*
Really? I mean: REALLY?
garbage in,,,,garbage out
another i-pod with the One's speeches
Like air brush a Marine color guard instead of the garbage bags… that just might work there RW%Jew
Come 2012 we should walk obama out with the trash too.
I see Alexander "I'm in charge" Haig passed away today. It's not every day that a 4 Star General, West Point graduate, that doesn't know the order of the presidency succession dies.
For those unlike Alex, it's The President, then the vice-President, then the Speaker of the House, then the President pro tempore ot the Senate, then the Secretary of State.
and then the Secretary of the Treasury………………………can you say "President Geithner"????
I like that……….."Birth Certificate March on Washington"………………….Everybody goes to Washington DC with their birth certificates, and demand to see his. I like that kind of party.
Good question. Violence is certainly not welcome, but understandable when people are frustrated and see no way out. The first thing is to to realize that our present economic course is not sustainable. Unfortunately, as our economic situation degenerates violence may appear reasonable to some. Right now we have massive Third World immigration changing the fabric of our nation. Indeed, we are not really a "nation" in the strict sense of the term, but, rather, a multi-cultural pool of competing interests having no indigenous ties to, say, even a US as it existed as little as 50 years ago.
Also, we are engaged in wars that no one really understands. Wars financed through credit. The idea that we can turn Afghanistan into anything resembling a Western country is naive. And it is simply a matter of time before Iraq openly turns on us. Islam is incommensurate with Western thought, and the idea that there is a "moderate" Islam (the Bush idea) is wrongheaded. To believe it is so is an example of what Voegelin described as liberal gnosticism.
A solution ? End Third World immigration (especially Islamic), secure borders, withdraw American soldiers from foreign soil (including Europe and Korea–my god, these wars have been over for how many years?), get a handle on our unfunded welfare liabilities (which will require some sort of default anent what was originally promised; encourage capital formation through fiscal policy; seriously get a handle on the Fed (probably abolishing it would be the logical step); and work towards true federalism. Also, create a tax base that encourages American manufacturing. Constitutionally, the commerce clause and the doctrine of incorporation must be eliminated as we get back to original intent. But it is doubtful any of this will ever happen. It would require too much sacrifice.
the Dalai Lama is one of the very few people on the planet with enough stature that i wouldn't be bothered if Obowma did his usual deferential schtick. but instead of bowing, he shuffles him out the back door. what a classless schmuck…
WTF??
Is there a sign now on the WH front door that reads "Lamas must use the service entrance"?
White House employment ad: "No Lamas Need Apply."
How soon they forget. It wasn't that long ago black servants were treated this way. Only "proper" folk were allowed through the front door.
Either meet with him properly or don't. To treat anyone like this demeans both the Office of President and the image of the U.S. Of course, not that this guy gives a crap about either.
Don't forget all the people named 'Malik Shabazz'. (No relation to the thug anti-semite black panther, of course.)
You can take the man out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto life style out of the man. He thinks he is still living in Chicago.
I don't think this was to appease the Chinese in any way, Isabella. I just think BHO is a classless jerk. He obviously doesn't think about anyone but himself, which is the only reason he'll backpedal when called out on something like this.
You forget one important fact. The Man-Child doesn't consider The Dali Lama a "ally". China is our "ally" and our loan shark. We now dance to their tune.
The disrespect that Obama shows this man of peace is disgusting. He was disposed of with the garbage (thought this white house would have recycling bins) because to Obama, he is garbage.
And the first 4 positions are very scarey too.
[...] [...]
Lets see who did we use to make use the backdoor and ride on the back of the bus… don't tell me I'll get it…
Mr president please treat our spiritual leaders with dignity… if you have any
The Union doesn't pick up the extra bags…its been snowing, and collections are behind…
Even for the guy that hands out the goodies to the Unions, no extra love…the weekly quota has already been met…
Well, at least its fitting…the Obama buried in the garbage of his own making…
I'd rather the oval office pos and his cadre were taken off to gitmo or some other long term prison..
And the Chinese are laughing out loud at this.
……………………………"tee-hee………………….dolly-rama have to go out wit da garbage hee hee hee"………………………
Sadly, its all true…
I heard the various world leaders are getting together and having t-shirts made…
"I MET THE OBAMA AND ALL I GOT WAS (insert your sucky gift here)!!"
There was a time when going to the WH was CLASS…now, its like visiting the local Community Center…without even the warm soda change-stealing vending and the broken candy machines…
There's a black female Democrat running in a primary for the Texas 22nd district congressional seat, calling for impeachment, over the O's cancellation of our return to the moon. I love it!
You're telling me.
I don't like the sounds of President followed by Biden, nor Pelosi, nor Byrd, nor Rodham Clinton………………………………………let alone Noblama.
These are very interesting times. We can't form a viable third party until after 2012, or we will be finished.
We must concentrate on turning the Republicans into the real conservatives of small Federal government and minimal spending–not mouth, but action. We cannot tolerate the waste, wild spending, political paybacks, and bowing to the ground–to our creditors.
Thanks. While I'm upset the prez sent him out through a side/back door, can't really blame the whitehouse for the garbage not being cleaned up.
I guess the Dali Lama wasn't a campaign contributor. No Lincoln bedroom???
Oh, and with that racial chip on Hussein's shoulder he just had to make another Nobel Prize winner take his 'ethnicity' out the "'back door'".
'Toss' him out on his ass…. and I'll operate the compactor on the garbage truck, no charge.
Kid Zero is a pure creep because he made sure that a camera was waiting and available for pictures to show the American people but not the Chinese. What a hypocrit this guy, Obama is.
I thought it was a joke (heard on Rush yesterday….funny stuff) about the cuff links and golf balls.
I could see it being true, though. Hussein's the king of impractical, thoughtless 'gifts'.

I think it might be true. *sadly*
I wonder if those cuff links had an Obama Logo on it?
Personally, I think the Slap Chop would have been a better choice of gift. Right now–for $19.99–they are throwing in a couple ShamWOW!s as well.
We can bring our college thesis papers and transcripts too!
HAHAHA!!
Any fast food/ retail place wouldn't get away with this, even with too much snow. It is a fire hazard and a health code violation. And I find it really difficult to believe that trash from the White House is picked up in a regular delevery type thing.
Don't think for a min, that this wasn't placed their for exactly this shot. This is O's delebrate message to China, although it is projecting something else entirly to me.
what if the lama was black and the president white and he made the lama use the backdoor what would libs and black people say?
HAHA!! That's completely insane!…. When does the Dali Lama ever wear sleeves? HAHA!!
Yeah, they probably had the silly logo on them. I'm pretty sure they've stamped everything in the White House and most of the staff with that thing.
For the White House I am sure the ShamWOW folks would have made a special commemorative collection especially for dignitaries like the Dalai Lama renamed: ObamWOW! (with logo)
I can't stop laughing over this! REALLY? Cufflinks???
(with logo)
My husband just suggested that Obama should have given the Dalai Lama a Snuggie ™ with either the Obama Logo covering it or the University of Tibet logo. You know, it gets cold in Tibet and sometimes a leader needs to watch TV and use the phone. Just an idea…
Ha! I came across this; http://scottoncapecod.files.wordpress.com/2008/10...
But I like your ObamWoW better.
The Dali Lama looks majestic coming out the service door next to the trash bags.
I didn't think Obama could get any lower in my opinion of him, but I was wrong.
"Come on folks, whether we like it or not, we were born for this moment. Let's get cracking! "
The common glue which will hold US together is respect for these United States and the Constitution (the intent of the original Constitution.)
Speak, Learn, Join with Others and Keep on Rollin' . . . right over those who would keep US . . . the Silent Majority. We are Silent . . . no longer.
How about a stimulus dumpster for the White House?
Will we be required to surround ourselves with a bunch of expensive attorneys as well?
I sure hope and change not.
LOOOOOOL! Indeedo!
Obama stinks worse than the garbage. He should be hauled off to rot in a landfill.
