Who is Misty Obama?



I took that screen shot at Drudge just now.

I looked up the Wikipedia list of famous people named Misty. There were only 19 people on the list. Oddly enough, 3 of them were porn stars.

Did Drudge deliberately write a headline with a ridiculous double meaning?

In the case of Obama, "Misty" is hot for Mystique.

Can you play “Misty” for me?

Misty eyes... democracy dies in darkness. A double entendre. h/t WaPo

He is sad about his future. He has been since Hillary said,"...we're all going to hang from nooses if that bastard wins." And that bastard won.

I think that's Visine...the man's gotta choom.

P.S. Obama is still a world-class cocksucker...

I can’t believe wiki left out the Eastwood “Play Misty for me” movie about the psycho who wanted Clint. I want Obama to ask someone to play Misty for me. He wants attention.

Bay Area Guy म्हणाले...

It's Republic, not a democracy.

Does ex-President Obama even read the Constitution that he took an Oath to uphold and defend?

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government

(See, US Constitution, Art IV, Section 4.)

From Wiki: "It is a federal republic and a representative democracy, in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law."

From the Pledge of Allegiance: ""I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands,....

Obama is just plain stupid.

"Play Misty Obama for me."

Jeff Weimer म्हणाले...

Whenever you see "Democracy" used that way, as in "Democracy at risk" or "save Democracy", change it to "Democrats" and you'll better understand their real concern.

He looks like the crying Indian from the 1970's anti-pollution ad put out by "Keep America Beautiful." Which seems fitting, as the Indian from that ad was actually not an Indian, but an Italian-American actor, the tear was faked, and "Keep America Beautiful" was not a grass-roots environmental organization but was actually formed and funded by leading beverage and packaging companies who didn't actually care about environmental issues, but instead were seeking to deflect anger about littering away from themselves and onto individual people who were discarding cans and bottles into the environment (the tag line - “People start pollution. People can stop it.”). As honest as Obama's invoking the need for peaceful transitions of power from what appears to be the set for Saul Goodman's office from "breaking Bad."

I dunno; but I do recognize the Photoshop "blur tool", and/or "smart blur", used to remove skin texture.

Play Misty Obama for me.

Skeptical Voter म्हणाले...

I read the Drudge report which had large excerpts from Obama's speech.

"Mist" in German means what one commonly sees on the dirt in cattle feed yards.

And there was a lot of "Mist" in Obama's speech last night--both in his denigration of Trump and his praise of good old Joe. The last one in the room when Obama made a difficult decision. It could be that Good Old Joe just didn't realize it was time to go. And since he'd made no more contribution than a potted plant, it was okay for him to hang around.

cubanbob म्हणाले...

Obama is misty because he knows that Trump is going to win and by winning it repudiates him. Also he knows that he has a huge scandal coming when his people get indicted.

Jaq म्हणाले...

Misty and Dewey, great names, but not together.

madAsHell म्हणाले...

Obama and manliness.

Bay Area Guy म्हणाले...

Here's Obama's famous Press Conference on October 18, 2016, when he thought Hillary would win:

* * *

I have never seen in my lifetime or in modern political history any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process before votes have even taken place. It's unprecedented. It happens to be based on no facts. Every expert, regardless of political party, regardless of ideology -- conservative or liberal -- who has ever examined these issues in a serious way will tell you that instances of significant voter fraud are not to be found; that, keep in mind, elections are run by state and local officials, which means that there are places like Florida, for example, where you've got a Republican governor whose Republican appointees are going to be running and monitoring a whole bunch of these election sites. The notion that somehow if Mr. Trump loses Florida it's because of those people that you have to watch out for -- that is both irresponsible, and, by the way, it doesn't really show the kind of leadership and toughness that you'd want out of a President.


But the larger point that I want to emphasize here is that there is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they’re so decentralized and the numbers of votes involved. There’s no evidence that that has happened in the past, or that there are instances in which that will happen this time.

And so I’d advise Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes. And if he got the most votes, then it would be my expectation of Hillary Clinton to offer a gracious concession speech and pledge to work with him in order to make sure that the American people benefit from an effective government. And it would be my job to welcome Mr. Trump, regardless of what he’s said about me or my differences with him on my opinions, and escort him over to the Capitol, in which there would be a peaceful transfer of power.

That’s what Americans do. That’s why America is already great. One way of weakening America and making it less great is if you start betraying those basic American traditions that have been bipartisan and have helped to hold together this democracy now for well over two centuries.

Misty Obama is afraid a Trump second term will uncover ALL his corruption.

Close on the polling!

I voted yes only because of the ridiculous coloration (is that a word?) on the photo.

Shane म्हणाले...

I deleted the Drudge under favorites because it lost objectivity 6-9 months ago. It use to be reliably and partisan, but at least you knew it and it was up front about it. 6-9 months ago it became slanted, but seemed to be striving for "objectivity" in its presentation. It was just not fun anymore to try and figure it out.

Bob Boyd in his typical understated way wins the thread with the first and only comment so far as I am awarding this prize.

Isn't Obama's drag name "Misty Lollipop"?

Jaq म्हणाले...

One of the funniest things I remember about press coverage of Obama was when Brian Williams was doing that White House puff piece and when Obama walked by him, he *tugged his forelock*. I would love to have the video so that it could be a GIF.

Great nickname. I think it'll stick.

Misty. Our 44th President, Misty O'Bama.

Well, he didn't go all Meg Ryan. I think of Misty, Play Misty For Me comes to mind. Obama is Eastwood playing Misty for Joe who really needs to see it. Or something.

Drudge sold out in the summer of 2019 and the new powers that be brought in the usual suspects to begin, slowly, turning Drudge into another far left/DNC directed outlet.

By last fall it was clear to readers that the Drudge Report had shifted to the left and Drudge himself was basically in hiding and not speaking with anyone about the shift in tone, which guarantees that the deal included Matt Drudge not speaking publicly about the sale and change of ownership/viewpoint until after the election.

This was just another maneuver by the left to buy and up and pretend they were still on the right and turning against Trump.

My only question is how much did Drudge get? I'm assuming big, big bucks.

I read it as sarcasm. I think she expected a few more Misty's in porn. The IAFD shows 132 performers have used the name Misty.

In fact.....just about every G-string I've laced with a fiver has been named Misty.

Misty Obama

Look at me
I'm as helpless as a Biden up a tree
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a gun
I can't understand
I get Misty Obama, just holding your hand

Walk my way
And a thousand mail-in votes come into play
Or it might be the sound of a waffle
That music I hear
I get Misty Obama whenever you're near

hstad म्हणाले...

Interesting question AA? Who cares?

In the middle of the DNC "Conclave" we are seeing polls with increasing support for Trump. I'm trying to remember in the history of our country which election ever saw such results. The Democrats are only interested in replacing Trump but have no plans for lifting up America. The 'Riots' and 'Defund Police' was a gift to Trump and so was, it appears, the selection of Biden. How will he campaign, given his health issues?

Jim Gust म्हणाले...

I stopped looking at Drudge years ago, it has no value for me.

After an Althouse visit, my next stop now is Zero Hedge.

Darkisland म्हणाले...

Now I feel sorry for making Barry sad.

I didn't mean to disappoint you, Barry. I really didn't. It's just Trump and these goddamn wars. The ones he stopped or prevented.

I'll make it up to you, honest I will. Just as soon as I mail this check to President Trump's re-election campaign.

Barack Hussein Obama has the sadzzz --

"Julie Pace
The Associated Press
May 7, 2019

WASHINGTON – Former President Barack Obama’s post-White House memoir isn’t expected to be released this year, setting up the likelihood that the highly anticipated book will drop during the 2020 campaign."

Nope, he isn't going to make the book drop in 2020, BUT! there is happiness. He isn't giving one penny back of the money that the fools fronted him.

Him and Michelle laughed all of the way back home, or was it to the bank?

288 votes?

Hard to believe that site traffic isn’t in the shitter.

Hopefully revenue is still good.

Maybe folks are still reading and buying, just not voting.

Any reader spikes from East European countries again? Do they buy stuff w/ Amazon? Or donate directly?

OTOH, maybe this low vote count doesn’t mean anything at all.

I dunno.

Drudge could have been referencing the song "Misty" or the movie "Play Misty for Me."

Drago म्हणाले...

Looks like adSs still, STILL(!), believes the russians hacked voting machines to change the state-wide tallies.

Not surprising really, since we know that a super-majority of democrats believe that indeed did happen.

They believe, literally, that Putin got into the voting machines and changed votes to elect Trump.

Of course, this is directly on a par with the majority of democrats that still, STILL(!), believe the G W Bush conspired directly with Bin Laden in the attack on the WTC and that Bush ordered the buildings blown from the inside with explosives.

This is on top with a majority of dems still, STILL(!), believing that Ronald Reagan conspired directly with Ayatollah Khomeini to keep US citizens hostages through the 1980 election in order to defeat Carter.

As you can see, our lefties/dems/LLR-lefties have a long history of this stuff and its only going to get worse after Trump wins again after the mail-in vote fraud this year comes out a little short in an attempt to push Biden over the top.
