Obama's speech is "coming from his loins."

Says Axelrod, apparently noticing how... odd that sounds and adding, jocosely, "I just wanted to say loins. I wanted to see if I could get loins in the story."

Loins. From what part of Axelrod's brain does that arise? I think of the first lines of Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita": "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta."

Oh. Bah. Mah.

Loins. You see that word in the Bible: "In Biblical translations, often used for 'that part of the body that should be covered and about which the clothes are bound.'"

The word is used conspicuously by God, speaking to Job "out of the whirlwind":
Who is this that darkeneth counsel
By words without knowledge?
Gird up now thy loins like a man;
For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Indeed, where was Obama when Jehovah laid the foundations of the earth Axelrod laid the foundations of his presidency?

If you're schmuck, naturally you talk through your loins. That's what defines you. Right on Brother Axelrod--who also talks through his loins, except he's just a putz.

"Oh. Bah. Mah."

I did not weigh in on the Biden enunciation debate, but I have say, with all firm authority I have, that it is, and always has been, "Oh-Bah-Muh."

It is, most definitely, a "Muh," not a "Mah."

One can go to the will.i.am Obama cultish videos for confirmation of this.

And, if one does not know this, one has not been paying attention.

AaronS said...

One presume's that Axelrod means the president is passionate and really believes what he says on the campaign trail.

That's doubtful. But even if it were it seems apparent that his loins do not recommend him for the majority of Americans.

My first association with that word is pork loin. And then tenderloin in general, whether beef, pork or lamb.

Believe Axelrod knows in his heart that Obama has shot his wad and his brain went right to loins.

bgates said...

The word was also used conspicuously by Biden, perhaps accidentally quoting God, when he told people in 2008,
"Gird your loins. We’re gonna win with your help, God willing, we’re gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It’s like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just, this is more than – think about it, literally, think about it – this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets. This is a systemic problem we have with this economy."

Prof. Ann, are you getting the Apple iPad mini? Just joking here.

Hey, I am confident Obama will win. My vote for Romney last Friday will go to waste.

Why?

- Obama capitalized on Sandy? Romney should have gone to Sandy-states or been at the Red Cross or something. He took it easy. WORSE DECISION EVER.
Contrast that to Obama. He was in FL on Sat. night then flew back to DC. Stephanie C. told him to do this. She is smart. COS for the 2nd term.

- Romney got damaged in the primaries by Newt and Rick.

- Press gave Obama a pass on Benghazi.

- Some GOP senators/candidates are BAD, like the guy from IN and another from MO. They brought the women vote down (or let Obama scare them off). Either way, it hurt Romney.

- Ryan, yes, he is good but he is also backward. I think Tim Pawlenty would have been a better VP.

I am going to be sad next Tuesday. So sad. So very sad. Al most had the victory. If not for Sandy, we would have made it, just by a narrow edge. Now, we will lose by a narrow edge.

Obama's loins talking about your lady parts, and telling you to make him your first time.

My gut tells me Obama will scrap by. My gut tells me that:

SANDY == OCTOBER SURPRISE BY MOTHER NATURE

GOP Blew it. They should have a RAPID RESPONSE TEAM for any event (24/7, a total unlimited amount to do what is needed, etc.)

If I was Romney, I would have been at the Red Cross in many states from Sun AM, with the talk shows talking about me.

Synova,

He's not talking about Obama girding his loins, but that his speech was from his loins - instead of from his head or his heart.

It's not an image I care to picture, but I've been forced to by the "axe".

I was watching "The Neighbors" about a New Jersey townhouse golf course community populated by Zaphronians where a human family has just moved in. The Zaphronians call their children their "loin fruit"....

Well, seeing as any off phrase or miss-speak from a Republican is deathly serious indications of something or other, we may as well have our fun.

Goals of today's assignme -- post:

1. Fixate on a metaphorical word that has something to do with the nether regions.

2. Reach back in the memory with a comparison to a Nabokov work, so as to allow for a form of alliteration reminiscent of campaign chants.

3. Make sure to throw in a biblical reference and the obligatory puritan interpretations of the word in question.

4. Compare the president's adviser to God, and his works to God's works.

Q. What did any of this accomplish? Your method is as rote and predictable as it is useless for anything but making hopelessly red people hopelessly redder.

But maybe one wouldn't expect it so much on a web site with some pretensions to abstract thought.

So when Obama told his supports today that voting would be the best revenge....he was speaking from his hated filled heart or from his ass or his loins.




re·venge/riˈvenj/
Noun:
The action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for a wrong suffered at their hands.
Verb:
Inflict hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong done to oneself.

wildswan said...

I think the Democratic campaigners are just tired. They don't know what state they are in. They get words mixed up - probably Axelrod meant to say "coming from his gut". They don't make sense, eg, "Voting is the best revenge" - revenge for what?

Voting for Mitt Romney is the best way to get these poor souls off to that nice long vacation which they evidently need. "Speaking from the loins, vacations are the best revenge."

Big Mike said...

@Ali, I have no idea why you should be sad. Sandy's timing was perfect, because there is a whole week for voters to realize that Obama has a standard pattern. He shows up for the photo op. He makes a speech. He has no follow-through.

This was true when Obama was a community organizer at Altgeld GArdens (which had already been organized when he showed up). He did get an agreement with the City of Chicago for asbestos abatement, but then he left for law school and as of the 2008 campaign - nearly thirty years later - the asbestos had not been fully abated.

There was no follow up with the "stimulus," and none with closing Guantanamo.

There has been, and will be, none with NYC, NJ, and Sandy. He has had his photo op. He made a couple nice speeches. And he walked away with plenty still to do.

It's a pattern, and by Tuesday people will notice.

Maddow seemed to deliberately misconstrue planning ahead with weakness or something.

The idea that short-sightedness projects confidence... its stupid, more like what it is.

While Obama appeals to revenge, Romney asks people to vote out of love of country.

Once again, the Left appeals to the ugliest, most vicious instincts humans have. That is the Left in a nutshell - hatred, vengefulness, class envy, sanctimony - covered by a completely phoney veneer of "compassion." Well, the veneer's worn thin. People see through you. They have come to realize you're as compassionate as a pack of hyenas. Nobody but yourselves thinks you are kinder or morally superior.

Lem: My sister voted for Ryan twice yesterday - for VP and also for Congress. Just as Marylanders voted for Biden for VP and Biden for Senator in 2008. It's pretty standard operating procedure for pols who are picked or are running for higher office during a year when they are up for reelection. I believe it's called "covering your ass."

If R/R are elected and Ryan is also reelected to his Congressional seat, there will be a special election to fill that position.

If Maddow is trying to make an issue of that, she is truly desperate. And/or ignorant.

Titus is vicious, even if he tries to cover his viciousness with tits and clouds (which stopped being cute and clever a long time ago). I have more than a little experience with manic-depressives. They are not fun. They are exhausting. I ended up running from the ones I had to deal with because they refused to take their meds and refused to get help. What can you do with people who end up throwing their TV's out of their apartment windows and marching out into the middle of busy intersections to direct traffic?

You know what, maybe Ezequiel's vision is a more relevant Biblical allusion/ allegory here. The vision of divine glory (radiating from His loins) and whereof it speaks. From 1:25 on:

And there came a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.

Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.

Then He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!” As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me. Then He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. “I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’ “As for them, whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them. “And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house. “But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.

“Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.” Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it. When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.


Etc.

The allegory is irresistible. For example, substitute America for Israel; Lord knows many Americans, Republicans and not-Obama voters, are rebellious transgressors, stubborn and obstinate children. So speaketh the Lord, from the glory of His loins.

"Loins" is the part where he lies from, right?

"Obama's speech is "coming from his loins."

Can you imagine four more years of this Zero gang? Yiiii.

Can't we start getting sick of Mitt and a new gang now? I've used up all my Zero material. I need someone new to complain about. I've got plenty of substantive new material for Mitt. Think of the great disappointments he'll bring.

I wonder if President Obama is one of those best people who shave their loins twice a day.

Obamessiah! Obamessiah! Obamessiah!

And people on the left deny they worsjip him. I wonder if they deny they worship him 3 times after he looses Tuesday?

As I have started saying recently, these people should not be allowed to vote. They are deranged. Who saw the report from Daytona about the chanting of "Hail Obama!" How close is that to "Sieg Heil!"?

I remember a story about a ship full of Jewish people set adrift in the Atlantic and no country would take them in. I suggest we do the same with Zero voters. Put 'em all on a ship and send 'em back to Europe, Africa, and Asia. I'm sure the countries over there would love to have the freeloading Marxist POS's.

Don't fash yourself man. The Veep, nor the Preezy know which of the 57 states they are appearing in.

I take it to mean Zero has a hardon for Marxism. Leetle beety one...(don't tell Titus. He believes in the myth. Zero, or the other one)

Perhaps it excites his loins when he thinks about his harem of women out there who are ready to vote for him with their lady parts.

He and his loins are committing Treason, and his supporters are aiding Treason.

Benghazi shows his lack of allegiance and attachment to America. Obama is exactly the man that the framers were preventing from the office when requiring a natural born Citizen, i.e one not born of an "improper ascendant" ("improper ancestor") in order to ensure that the chief magistrate is a "child of their own" (natural born Citizen)SEE Federalist #68.

Obama is not a child of America. He is the scion of a Kenyan British subject Marxist. Therefore B. Hussein Obama is also a British subject, and thus not a natural born Citizen. His mother was an America hating Marxist. He was raised in a rats den of anti Americans, and advised by Marxists, Communists and Islamists. He has recited the Shahada, therefore he is a Muslim.

The "law prof" (what a joke), from her Ivory Tower in the lap of Left Wing academia, sees no problem with this destroyer of America leading our troops. She has failed to inform the public that the chief magistrate is illegal, and therefore there is NO law and NO constitution. The law of man has Usurped the US Constitution, and only the blood of tyrants and patriots can restore it.

I think one of the first comments I read at Althouse was Titus talking about grooming his anal playground for an evening of fun & adventure. Also there was something about his hog.

So Obama is thinking from his dick?

Oh my God, my whole life I thought loins was balls. And now I'm told it's dick. Or is the whole balls-dick trifecta? Now I got to look it up.

In the Bible, when they say somebody "knows" somebody, that probably means they know what the words mean, at least.

"the part of a human being or quadruped on each side of the spinal column between the hipbone and the false ribs"

False ribs? What the hell? I didn't even know I had false ribs. Sounds like Biblical misogyny to me!

"cut of meat comprising this part of one or both sides of a carcass with the adjoining half of the vertebrae included but without the flank"

Noah, you're not helping!

Wait! That's the singular. Need the plural.

the upper and lower abdominal regions and the region about the hips

you know, that's just vague.

(1): the pubic region (2): the reproductive organs

Finally! Sex! But it's all vague and uni-sexy. Do women have loins? They don't gird their loins. Do they? Are fallopian tubes loins? No way.

I'm going with balls, and/or trifecta, no way dick singular, and a question mark on whether women have loins, or just nether regions.

And, might I add, that I have kept this conversation on a very high level. I feel no lust at all, for instance. Although I am in the mood for a steak.

O'Biden is going to give us the full load.

O'Bang-me is coming from his loins.

Voting is like getting fucked the first time and you should be grateful that the guy remembered to bring a condom.

The message is quite clear. We are being fucked and if you like it [you know you do bitch!!] you will vote for Obama again.

Nice people these Democrats.
