Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 49: I, Barack Husain Obama, Do Hereby Resolve…

“New Year's Day… now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual” Mark Twain

New Years, that most dangerous of Holidays when amateur drunks get crying about your daddy walking with a slant inebriated and terrorize the nation’s highways, byways and seedy hotel bars. Tis also the time of the year when tens of millions resolve to quit drinking, smoking, and lusting in their hearts and all manner of other vices and with equal conviction vow to pursue seemingly unobtainable virtues.

According to national surveys the top five New Year’s resolutions are:

1. Spend more time with family and friends
2. Lose weight
3. Get in shape
4. Stop smoking
5. Get out of debt

Thoughts of Obama from Bama has it on good authority that our Celebrator of the New Year in Hawaii-in-Chief, many of the senior members of his Administration and comrades in Congress are prolific makers of Resolutions including the top five most popular listed above. We have obtained a Top Secret Memo listing the New Year’s Resolutions of our Don’t Bother Me With News About a Petty Little Crime Committed by a Isolated Extremist Nigerian Attempting to Blow Up an Airplane Over Detroit I’m on Vacation-in Chief and the rest of the Yes We Can Criminalize the War on Terror Gang compiled by the White House Propaganda Czar.

The exact purpose of this Memo remains a mystery but in the spirit of transparency we are pleased to disclose the contents of this document in this week’s Column:

· Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House
1. Resolves to cutback from twelve to six facelifts in 2010
2. Resolves to reduce by half the number of times she will spring out of her chair clapping like a love sick teenage schoolgirl at an Elvis concert during one of the many Presidential addresses to Joint Sessions of Congress in 2010 3. Resolves to throw a coming out of the closet party publically acknowledging her Marxist/Socialist agenda and forty year extramarital affairs with Fidel Castro, North Korea’s Kim Jong-il, and Barbara Streisand
· Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader
1. Resolves to continue to sell the Country out buying votes for Socialized medicine, energy and the financial industries
2. Resolves to fade away quietly into a forced early retirement settling in a cozy jungle bungalow in Venezuela near his dear Socialist comrade Hugo Chavez after losing his reelection bid to a GOP challenger in next fall’s election
· Barney “Freddie in the Fannie Mac” Frank, Chairman, House Finance Committee
1. Resolves to remain the most belligerent; arrogant; combative; misguided; pointy headed liberal nut job; and goofiest member of the US Congress
2. Resolves to find a new boyfriend, lover, and significant other, whatever the PC term is these days, who doesn’t grow his own private stash of pot in the good Congressman’s backyard. When asked by police about the pot growing amongst his pansies Frank replied “I wouldn’t know what a pot plant looked like if it crawled up behind me and bit me on my cute little tushy”.
· Senator Barbara Boxer, California
1. Resolves to prohibit anyone from ever calling her Mam again, especially military personnel during a Senate Hearing. Senator, hey you, dumb arse and silly bitch are all acceptable alternatives
· Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary
1. Resolves to absolutely, under no circumstances, to ever make news at the daily White House News/Press Conference
· Tim Geithner, Secretary of the Treasury
1. Resolves to borrow and print enough money to choke an entire heard of bull elephants
· Eric Holder, Attorney General
1. Resolves to continue reading Miranda Rights to Islamic Jihadist enemy combatants giving aid and comfort to the terrorist hell bent on destroying Western civilization
· Hilary Clinton, Secretary of State
1. Resolves to continue dodging enemy sniper fire as she travels the globe in her legendary butt ugly pants suits
2. Resolves to forgive Bill once again for his recent indiscretions in Vegas where he used the alibi he was just spending the evening with Tiger Woods the All American kid prior to the disclosure of his Clintonian like behavior with the ladies
· Joe Biden, Vice President
1. Resolves to avoid having his picture taken hugging illegal gate crashers at White House dinner parties
2. Resolves to duct tape his mouth shut to avoid embarrassing the Country, himself, and the office he occupies
3. Resolves to restricting himself to ten lies a day about the alleged success of their stimulus/massive deficit spending bill
· Our Prolific Maker of Resolutions-in-Chief
1. Resolves to realize his grandiose dreams of a Socialistic American society and economy
2. Resolves to cut back from three to two packs of smokes a day
3. Resolves to continue to apologize for America and pucker up to our enemies every time his big flat feet touch foreign soil
4. Resolves to quit going home and kicking Bolshevik the First Pooch after a bad day at the office
5. Resolves to continue to refuse to call our enemy by their name, Islamic Jihadist Terrorist
6. Resolves to blame W for Global Warming; H1N1; The Civil War; World hunger; Coastal erosion; The sinking of the Titanic; The Great Depression; Teen STD’s; and African Killer Bees invading the US in 2010
7. Resolves to refuse to advocate American exceptionalism and continue to promote our equality with inferior nations

Research studies indicate that most folks only achieve success with around 12% of their Resolutions. Hopefully Our Blamer of W-in-Chief will realize similar results and most of his Resolutions, as so eloquently put by Mr. Twain, will be used for paving Hell as early as next week.

Best wishes for a happy, healthy, productive and joyous New Year

Week 48: Size Matters

“There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together”.
Josh Billings, 19th Century American Humorist

Our Author of Long, Socialist, Incomprehensible Bills-in-Chief in cooperation with his comrade in the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have conspired to create a colossal piece of legislation only a boneheaded bleeding heart liberal elitist could love. What the Senate’s Healthcare Reform/Socialized Medicine Act lacks in real reform; cost savings; better quality; cross state insurance competition; tort reform; patient choice; and keeping Uncle Sammy from rationing and controlling access to care it definitely makes up for in size; weight; length; girth; and width.

This legislative train wreck initially came in at 2,074 pages. With Leader Reid’s 383 page Manager’s Amendment, which includes all the backroom sleazy deals he made to buy off gutless so called Blue Dog Democrats, who really are more akin to yellow dogs considering their cowardly behavior, including the $300 million Louisiana Purchase of Senator Mary Landrieu; Nebraska’s Ben Nelson $100 million dollar annual bribe for Medicaid; Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders $10 and $14 billion for community health centers; Connecticut receiving $100 million for a "health care facility" affiliated with an academic health center in gratitude for Senator Dodd’s support; this big ass honking bill now totals 2.457 pages.

When you add it all up this mammoth piece of legislation comes in at:

· 24 pounds
· 3’ feet – 4’’ inches tall
· 2,457 pages
· Approximately 626,535 words
· 305 million Tons of BS, 1 Ton for each and every American who are all about to find out how expensive free Healthcare really is.

Abraham Lincoln once said before beginning a speech to supporters that if he had more time to prepare his comments would be much briefer. Point being, content; logic; clarity; readability; and brevity are far better measures of a document’s true value than a high word and page count.

Viewed from this perspective our Long Winded Master of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief and Harry “Lets Make a Deal” Reid’s Government Takeover of Healthcare Bill just might be the most ill conceived; poorly written; confusing; irrational; misleading; and dangerous legislation ever created by our genius wordsmiths in Congress. A quick comparison to several of the world’s most important and influential written documents emphasizes the total lack of substance, coherency, and clarity contained in this bill.

1. Magna Carta – 25 pages, 6,435 words
2. Declaration of Independence - 5 pages, 1,320 words
3. US Constitution - 17 pages, 4,418 words
4. Bill of Rights – 2.5 pages, 580 words
5. Emancipation Proclamation - 3 pages, 621 words
6. Gettysburg Address – 1 page, 281 words
7. Ten Commandments – 2 stone tablets, 135 words

It only takes 135 words to establish the moral standards for all of mankind, 621 to free millions of slaves, 4,418 to govern the most powerful and freest nation on earth. Why does it take a 626,535 word bill to reform the best Healthcare system in the world? Simple answer, in the spirit of brevity, it doesn’t.

3 words – Kill the Bill!

Best wishes for a safe, joyous, and very Merry Christmas.

Week 47: Global Warming – Maybe When Hell Freezes Over



1,000's Protest Global Warming in Copenhagen

Pointy headed bleeding heart liberals, secular progressive boneheads, and radical leftwing head cases all seem to be natural born expert propagandist. Our Propagandist-in-Chief, Barack Husain Obama, is a master at the art of deceit and seems to have absolutely no problem what so ever with lying like a cheap rug to advance his Marxist/Socialist agenda.

A frequent and effective tactic used by the liberal elite is to repeat a lie so many times and often with greater volume knowing that eventually a surprising number of folks will ultimately believe it. Examples of this mass propagandist tactic abound with the “Yes We Can” crowd currently infesting the White House including their claims that they inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression; their Trillion dollar Stimulus/Spending Bill saved us from financial calamity; the same complete waste of tax payer dollars saved and created millions of new jobs (the fact unemployment has jumped from 7.65% to over 10% be damned); our country is currently facing a Healthcare crisis; the President really doesn’t have big ears, just a small head; and every evil and problem we are currently facing was created by the incompetence and malice of the W Administration.

Possibly the most insidious initiative our Meteorologist-in-Chief is attempting to shove down our collective thoughts is the alleged Global Warming, or as it’s been renamed for “consumer” acceptance purposes, the Climate Change Crisis. Without a doubt one of the most audacious and dangerous Ho Ax’s ever perpetrated on “We the People”.

Just so happens several hundred Global Warming propagandists, Eco-Nazis, and bark eating/tree hugging/green crazed/environmental zealots are gathering in Copenhagen this week for a Climate Change Summit in an effort to advance this myth. Naturally our Climatologist-in-Chief will be attending and Thoughts of Obama from Bama has it on good authority he has every intention of giving away the proverbial farm.

After blaming America for all manner of past transgressions including our crime of being the world’s biggest polluter and spreaders of the the poisonous gas carbon dioxide that the Eco-Nazis would have us believe is the root cause of Global Warming, you know the stuff we exhale and trees turn into oxygen, don’t be surprised when our Blamer of America First-in-Chief commits us to astronomical reductions in carbon emissions and Billions in bribes for third world countries to follow our lead.

Our illustrious House of Representatives has already passed legislations that if approved by the Senate and signed by our Carbon Reducer-in-Chief, Cap and Trade/Tax, that will tax every carbon emission of organic; inorganic; manmade; mechanical; and/or natural origin. Draconian emission standards will be imposed, energy prices will sky rocket (even candidate Obama admitted this in a rare moment of candor and honesty during the campaign), millions of jobs will disappear in thin air like so many particles of earth killing carbon gases, and US Companies will be running for the boarders faster than a scalded dog to set up shop on more business friendly foreign shores.

All this financial destruction and unprecedented Government intrusion/control is certainly justified in the sacred cause to save our planet and the human race from catastrophic natural disasters brought about by manmade Global Warming. After all our Savior From Global Warming-in-Chief, all his Eco-Nazi comrades in Congress and fellow delegates at the ongoing Climate Summit , especially the Poster Boy of this entire movement and how to profit from it, former Vice President Al “Mr. Inconvenient Lie” Gore hisself, have all frequently and loudly propagandized the veracity of the Settled Science Global Warming myth.

Only problem the facts don’t exactly support the Global Warming Warriors’ theories or their false claims that the issue is already settled by overwhelming scientific consensus. To the contrary, a brief review of conflicting scientific views suggest the Climate Change alarmist theories have about as much credibility as an Obama campaign promise.

For starters, a big problem with the Global Warmer’s apocolyptic prophecies is their reliance on long term forecasting, especially when we consider the rampant inaccuracies of short term weather forecasting. According to ForecastAdvisor, which tracks the accuracy of predictions, industry averages when predicting highs for the following day were off by about three degrees; when forecasting nine days out, they missed by nearly seven degrees.

Doug Young, performance branch chief at the National Weather Service, says his organization’s precipitation forecast for seven days out is only 55% accurate. “You’re almost flipping a coin at that point,” he concludes.

Sounds like our smiling, perpetually happy and obnoxiously perky local weather Dude/Babes might be better off ditching all the heavy artillery – radar, Doppler, triple lindey Doppler – and pick up a weather dog instead. Send the pooch out and he comes back wet we got rain; sweaty and panting, hot; milk bone froze to his tongue, snow; doesn’t come back at all, windy.

Our Weatherman-in-Chief, the Poster Boy Al Gore and their seriously disturbed Global Warmer dominions all base their doomsday predictions on 25, 50 and 100 year plus forecast. If the National Weather Service only gets it right half the time 7 days out President Obama and “Never Will be President” Gore’s 100 year forecast ain’t worth a warm bucket of recycled spit.

Led by our Prophesier-in-Chief and Al “Protector of the Planet” Gore the Global Warming faithful has made the following claims about the imminent horrific demise of our planet:

· “Inconvenient Lie” - Man made hydrocarbons are the root cause of planet killing Global Warming.
“Inconvenient Truth”- The changing rate of Solar Activity almost perfectly parallels the entire rise in arctic air temperature and is a much more likely cause of Global Climate Change than any man made hydrocarbons.
· “Inconvenient Lie” - Arctic ice pack & northern hemisphere sea ice levels have been shrinking for a great many years (until 1998 to be exact)
“Inconvenient Truth”- One of the less known aspects of our planet’s climate cycles, is the fact that the balance of ice frequently switches back and forth between the north and south poles. The ice in the Antarctic has been growing at a record pace to the point that in 2007 it reached its highest level ever recorded.
· “Inconvenient Lie”- There is a growing incidence of dangerous weather, including Katrina, that can be attributed to manmade global warming.
“Inconvenient Truth”There is not a shred of scientific evidence to support this claim. In fact the frequency of hurricanes is currently lower than it’s been in 30 years.
· “Inconvenient Lie”- The endangered polar bears will soon reach extinction because of Global Warming.
”Inconvenient Truth”- In 1940 their total population was a meager 5,000. Today their total population has increased by an astonishing 400 percent to over 25,000.
· “Inconvenient Lie”- Our Global Savior-in-Chief and his fellow General in the universal struggle to save the planet from the catastrophic consequences of Climate Change, Al Gargantuan Carbon Footprint Gore, hearts are true; intentions beyond approach; motives pure; and actions truly selfless
“Inconvenient Truth” – Lots of folks will make a fortune from the trumped up Global Warming Crisis and Mr. Gore and Obama are at the front of the line. Gore is chairman and founder of a private equity firm called Generation Investment Management and hopes to make billions by creating a new market for carbon emissions trading here in the United States. Mr. Obama’s pockets will also be bulging with all the cash donated by Gore in appreciation of the president’s leadership in pulling off this con/scam/ho ax of unprecedented size and consequence.

Man made Global Warming/Climate Change will cause catastrophic, world ending natural disasters, and the end of civilization as we know it when hell does freeze over; pigs fly; Auburn wins a NCAA National Football Championship; and our Creator of False Crisis and Perpetrator of Ho Ax’s-in-Chief gets through one day without telling at least 10 lies, doesn’t make a national TV address, and forgets to blame W for at least one disaster of biblical proportions that he inherited.

As we await the highly unlikely probability of any of the above listed occurrence ever being realized we highly recommend the services of a weather dog be secured to conduct long term Global Warming/Climate Change forecast. A good Weather Pooch can surly be counted on for more accurate and honest predictions than the two scoundrels and charlatans Obama and Gore who seek only fame, financial gain and political advantage.

Week 46: Get a Job

“Sha na na na, sha na na na na, Get a job

Sha na na na, sha na na na na, Get a job

Sha na na na, sha na na na na, Get a job

Sha na na na, sha na na na na,

Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip

Mum mum mum mum mum mum

Get a job, Sha na na na, sha na na na na”

The Silhouettes

Forty-Six weeks ago our Human Resources Director-in-Chief, Barack “According to the White House WebsiteThe Creator and Savior of 1.6 Million Jobs (Maybe in China)” Obama, made the audaciously false claim that if Congress failed to pass his Trillion dollar plus so called Economic Stimulus Package life on earth as we know it would cease to exist. He also confidently informed us passage of this humongous spending bill was the only way to keep rising unemployment under 8 percent.

Forty-Six weeks and a Trillion dollars of tax payers hard earned money later our Stimulator-in-Chief’s Socialist economic policies have been an abject failure. Unemployment has jumped from 7.65% last January when our Killer of Jobs-in-Chief took the Oath of Office to current levels of 10% plus.

Since infesting the White House the “Yes We Can Plunge the Economy Down to the 9th Level of Hell” gang’s policies have forced an additional 3.2 million of our fellow Americans to the unemployment lines with a total of almost 16 million looking for work. That equates to 70,000 wage earners a week getting a pink slip, or the entire population of the cities of Dothan, Alabama; Lake Charles, Louisiana; and/or College Station, Texas getting the boot every 7 days.

Untold heartache, carnage and devastation has been heaped upon millions of American families as a result of our Marxist-in-Chief’s efforts to transform the world’s largest and most successful free market/capitalistic economy into a Government run Socialist Nanny State. As with any “Revolution” collateral damage is an expected necessary evil, in this instance historically high unemployment and unprecedented deficit spending, because from the wild eyed true believer Revolutionary’s radical way of reckoning the ends always justify the means.

Our Socialist Revolutionary-in-Chief has achieved the dubious honor of reaching unemployment levels of truly historic proportions. A review of US Employment since WW2 compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the severity of our current situation into perspective:

· Our Employer-in-Chief’s first year in office, 2009, will result in an annualized Unemployment rate of 9.3%ish
· Since 1948 Unemployment has exceeded 9.3% on only 2 occasions, 1982 and 1983, 9.7% and 9.6% respectively, during Ronald Reagan’s first term in office
· Reagan’s 8 year annual Unemployment average resulted in a slightly high but respectable 7.5%
· The lowest Unemployment rates of the last 60 years occurred during the Truman, 1951- 3.3%, 1952 – 3% and Eisenhower years, 1953 – 2.9%
· The lowest average Unemployment rates for a President who served at least one full term: 1. Truman – 4% 2. LBJ – 4.9% 3. Slick Willie Give Me Another Lewinski Clinton – 5.2% 4. W – 5.3%
· The highest average Unemployment rates for a President who served at least one full term: 1. Ronald Wilson Reagan – 7.5% 2. Jimmy Peanut, just plain ole nuts, flake, the most infamous embarrassment to the Southern Gentry of the 20th and 21st century, Carter – 6.5% 3. Daddy Bush – 6.3%
· It is interesting to note that during the 4 Presidencies with the lowest Unemployment, with the exception of LBJ, the GOP held a majority in one or both Chambers of Congress for at least half of their terms in office.
· For example, during the 16 years of the Clinton and W years Republicans held majorities in both Chambers for 12 years. Unemployment averaged around 5.1% accompanied with significant job growth. Lesson learned – boneheaded liberal Democrat economic policies the likes of big Government; high taxes; wealth redistribution; intrusive regulation; and Socialist welfare programs kill US Jobs and send them overseas faster than a scalded dog

Watching his job approval numbers drop like a led balloon it finally dawned on our Lowest First Year Presidential Job Approval in the History of Gallup Polling -in-Chief that he best stop spending all his time dithering on his Afghanistan strategy and propagandanizing about his Marxist dreams of Socialized medicine and pay a little attention to a real crisis, 16 – 20 million fellow Americans in dire need of a steady paycheck.

In typical fashion the White House’s response to this crisis was to quickly organize a made for TV event; fire up our Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief’s tele-prompter; invite a couple hundred supporters and CEO’S from companies with too much Federal Government work to risk publicly criticizing the President’s policies to the White House; and alert the media that our Financial Wizard-in-Chief will be holding court at a White House Jobs Summit.

All the usually suspects showed up standing tall and grinning from ear to ear like they had good sense for an afternoon of liberal bloviating and diatribes of Marxist doctrine. Attendees included folks from all the President’s Labor Union faithful; pointy headed academics who never made a dime in the private sector; Government bureaucrats; Obama political hacks; Media elite the likes of liberal extremist head case New York Times Columnist Paul Krugman; CEO’s from Google, Disney, and Fedex for appearances sake; and representatives from the President’s good friends at ACORN and the American Socialist, Communist, and Fascist Parties.

Glaringly missing from this august gathering were representatives from the US Chamber of Commerce, several manufacturing related associations and business trade groups who have been publically critical of the Administration. Considering these groups represent millions of small businesses that actually create most of the jobs in this country their exclusion from the process by our thin skinned fearless leader is a sure sign of his lack of conviction to seriously address this issue.

Five days later our Speech Maker-in-Chief made what seems like his 300th national address advocating 3 new job creation initiatives:

1. The temporary elimination of the capital gains tax for small businesses
2. Tax credits for small businesses
3. Use of Billions left over from the TARP Fund, a W initiative to keep the banks open that actually worked with money to spare, for so called shovel ready infrastructure projects

At first glance certainly sounds reasonable but with the same restrictions and strings attached the first massive Obama spending/political payback bill contained – eligibility contingent upon utilizing Union labor, millions for ACORN and other Socialist Community Organization activist, and rampant political patronage – there ain’t a snowball’s chance in hell of stimulating even a frog hair’s worth of real job growth.

As for shovel ready projects, the only shoveling this President is doing is the load of BS he’s been spreading since the first day he entered public service.

President Obama’s Socialist economic policies have put millions of hard working Americans out of work. Socialized medicine; Cap and Trade; exploding deficit spending; a massive redistribution of wealth; and enough debt to choke a herd of elephants will most likely force employers to show millions more to the curb.

In closing, anyone currently seeking employment should seriously consider a position as a Presidential Czar.

1. The White House is one of a very few employers still hiring
2. Great pay and benefits
3. No specific skill set or qualifications required
4. Communist; Socialist; Fascist; Eco-Nazis; terrorist sympathizers; tax cheats; blame America firsters; pacifist wimps not only welcome but strongly encouraged to apply

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 45: Obama’s Bend Over, Grab His Ankles, Thank you Sir May I Have Another Foreign Policy

“I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air.” Margaret Thatcher

In addition to Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Castro our Appeaser-in-Chief also seems to be a disciple of former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. PM of Great Britain leading up to WW2, Chamberlain along with other European leaders thought the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, WW1’s terms of surrender, placed unfair restrictions on Germany and that Hitler’s defiance was justifiable.

This bunch of European pacifist led by Chamberlain were convinced that giving in to Hitler’s demands would prevent another war. To the contrary, their Policy of Appeasement encouraged Hitler’s expansionist dreams of grandeur and ultimately to the invasion of Czechoslovakia, Poland and the 2cd World War of the 20th century.

President Obama’s Bend Over, Grab His Ankles, Thank you Sir May I Have Another approach to Foreign Policy will surly lead to similar disastrous consequences. Traveling the globe bowing to foreign Monarchs; acting like a citizen of the world first and the President of the United States as a distant second; apologizing for America’s past transgressions and arrogance; and appeasing the likes of our Russian friends, Ahmadinejad in Iran, Chavez and other Fascist 3rd world Despots and the Islamic Jihadist Terrorist hell bent on destroying our way of life, the President is ignoring the lessons of history including the abject failure of Chamberlain’s Policy of Appeasement.

On the last day of Week 45 of the “Yes We Can and Will Ignore the Advice of our Expert Military Leadership Because we Egghead Academics and Political Hack White House Staffers Know What’s Best” gang our Expert Reader of the Tele-Prompter-in-Chief finally publically announced his policy/strategy for prosecuting the war against al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. Addressing the “Long Grey Line” of Cadets at the hallowed halls of West Point Mr. Obama unequivocally made the most bizarre speech of his Presidency.

Following are some of the highlights from his address:

· Conspicuously but not surprisingly the words victory or win failed to roll off our Setter of Low Expectations-in-Chief’s tongue even one time. If we are not there to win, achieve victory, putting our soldiers in harm’s way knowing many will endure injury and that others will make the ultimate sacrifice, is unforgivable

The President’s apprehension to seek and when warranted claim military victory is truly troubling. Back in July in a Nightline interview, President Obama was asked to define “victory” in Afghanistan. He answered, “I'm always worried about using the word "victory" because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur”

This aversion to the word victory in an obvious attempt to avoid offending his Muslim brethren is cause for serious consternation. It’s also interesting to note Hirohito never signed surrender to MacArthur. Young Barack and his juvenile delinquent playmates must have skipped History class to smoke crack and snort a few lines of cocaine on the days they covered the failure of Chamberlain’s Policy of Appeasement and Japan’s surrender to Allied Forces ending WW2.

Actor Robert Duvall, “Colonel Kilgore” made the most repeated victory quote of a generation in the classic Vietnam War epic, Apocalypse Now – to paraphrase, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning, smells like victory”. Our Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief would be well served to coin a similar phrase to motivate and inspire the troops. Thoughts of Obama from Bama is tickled pink to provide the following suggestions:

1. “I love the smell of fried al-Qaeda in the morning, smells like victory”
2. “I love the smell of burnt Talibon in the morning, smells like victory”
3. “I love the smell of missile ignited and bomb baked Usama in the morning, smells like victory”

· Our Early Troop Withdrawer-in-Chief did make a strong and convincing case for sending in more troops and why containing/destroying al-Qaeda is vital to our National Security. Why he subsequently declared a surge of 30,000 troops and in the same breath proclaimed troop withdrawal would begin in July 2011, 18 months from now, certainly leaves one scratching their head in wonder.

General Stanley McChrystal, our Military Strategy Challenged Commander-in-Chief’s handpicked Commander for the Afghan Theatre, made a formal request for 60,000 troops, 40,000 minimum back in August. He also noted the situation in Afghanistan was deteriorating quickly.

After over 3 months of silence and indecision, sending a message of weakness to our enemies and friends around the globe, our Ditherer-in-Chief announced his purely political compromise of 30,000 troops in an obvious effort to appease his leftwing base and maintain GOP support. As we discussed earlier, war plans and appeasement are a recipe for disaster.

Announcing a date for retreat before one boot from the surge hits the ground is just plumb crazy. Another ridiculous attempt to appease his leftwing comrades in Congress and maintain his high rankings in popularity polls in Paris, Riyadh, Havana, Mumbai and Moscow.

This strategy also puts our troops at unnecessary risk and gives the Islamic Jihadist fanatics a strategic advantage without having fired a single shot. It makes about as much sense as before leaving on a vacation putting a neon sign in the front yard telling the whole world how long you’ll be gone; the key is under the matt at the back entrance; the alarm code; combination to the safe; beer’s in the fridge and moon pies in the cupboard.

· Our Appeaser-in-Chief’s final main talking point was his insistence that the Pakistanis and Afghans stand up and take the lead so we can stand down and get the hell out of Dodge. Certainly a nice thought but in reality nothing but a pipe dream.

Making idle threats about our imminent withdrawal and leaving them to deal with the Taliban and al-Qaeda has absolutely no impact on these folks what so ever.

Why?

1. It’s not their fight. We were the ones attacked on 9/11.
2. They know we are leaving soon, the President has certainly made this fact abundantly clear, and they will have to co-exist with these fanatics for years to come and will act accordingly.
3. We are viewed as foreign imperialist and an army of occupation. The boys from the Taliban and al-Qeada are for the most part home grown kindred. Even considering their brutality and barbaric ways they still have the sympathy of the locals.

Bottom line, if we tuck tail and run before achieving victory, completely decimating the al-Qaeda scum and setting the Talibon barbarians back for decades, we do so at our own peril.

When asked his strategy for the Cold War Ronald Reagan kept it short and sweet- “We win, they lose”. Mr. President, your choice, either follow the example of President Reagan to victory or the failed Policy of Appeasement of Neville Chamberlain to defeat and destruction.

We all hope and pray you choose wisely.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 44: Thanksgiving - United Workers of the New World Great Communal Feast

“Pass the cornbread, Pass the meat, Good God, Let’s eat!"

On the last day of week 44 of our Historical Revisionist-in-Chief’s “transformational” Presidency the White House hosted the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, for a State visit. During remarks at a joint Press Conference following their high-level discussions, where PM Singh brow beat our Deficit Buster-in-Chief for irresponsible runaway spending and fell of his matt from laughing so hard when the subject of climate control came up, President Obama commented how appropriate it was for us Americans to break bread again this week in Thanksgiving with our Indian brothers.

An obvious misstatement, Press Secretary Robert “I know nothing, hear nothing, see nothing” Gibbs, rushed to the Great Communicator’s side frantically whispering in his ear Native American Indians, sir, not our South Asian ally; world’s 2cd largest democratic nation; cobras; tigers; “Slum Dog Millionaire”. Meanwhile the President’s 24/7 companion, his beloved tele-prompter, was about to blow a main circuit flashing in big red letters “Native American, Native American, Slum Dog, Slum Dog”.

Undeterred, our Community Organizer Pilgrim-in-Chief continued stating that it really don’t make no never mind if it was Native Americans or our new Asian friends because the whole Thanksgiving Pilgrim and Indian legend is nothing but one big fairytale anyway. According to our Pass the Pumpkin Pie-in-Chief the First Thanksgiving myth was fabricated by evil, greedy, criminal CEO’s at Butterball Turkey; Big Oil – “to Grandmother’s house we go”; Galo; and of course, W.

Not one to shy away from creating and perpetuating revisionist history, for example:

· 9/11 – President Obama and his NEA comrades, including Presidential soul mate Bill Ayers, are advocating any teaching about 9/11should omit any mention of Muslim, Islamic Jihadist being responsible for the attack.
· The belief that those who approved and implemented the use of the A bombs against Japan are war criminals. Our Nobel Peace Prize Winner-in-Chief along with all his pacifist comrades in Stockholm always conveniently seem to forget to mention the millions of both American and Japanese that were saved because we did use the bomb.
· The complete fabrication of candidate Obama – he has the experience; he’s not a liberal let alone a Socialist; a bipartisan consensus builder; hardly even knew Ayers, Wright, or Blago; Truly revisionist history at it’s very best, or worst, depending on your perspective.

Also experts at rebranding, repackaging and/or renaming an issue to achieve their propaganda objectives the Change Gang has flagrantly disregarded reality in their ongoing efforts to deceive and mislead the public. A few examples of these deceitful practices include:

· War on Terrorism – Overseas Contingency Plan. Domestic – Man Made Disaster. Don’t know about y’all, but the massacre at Fort Hood seemed one hell of a lot more like a cowardly Islamic Jihadist terrorist attack than any so called Man Made Disaster.
· Socialized Medicine – Health Reform; Healthcare Reform; Health Insurance Reform. The Yes We Can bunch needed a villain to divert attention from their true objective, Universal, Government controlled, single payer, Socialized Medicine, and the Health Insurance industry is the ideal scapegoat.
· Swine Flu- Really not sure why they changed the name to H1N1. Reckon the Administration was concerned the public might be frightened by the image of 1,000’s of marauding pigs raping and pillaging their way across the country.

Back to the Presidential Press Conference with Indian PM Singh, our Socialist-in-Chief elaborated further about the first Thanksgiving stating our national holiday that allegedly stems from the feast held in the autumn of 1621 by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians to celebrate the colony's first successful harvest is a total fabrication. The actual event, according to Mr. Obama, was a gathering of working class Pilgrims and Indians to organize the Country’s first labor union.

Led by an Indian Community Organizer, Hit in Head by One too Many Acorns, the group vowed to stop the exploitation of the working class and to fight for higher wages; better working conditions; fewer public floggings; and a serious cutback on burnings at the stake. The President went on to say that in light of this historic revelation the Holiday once known as Thanksgiving would henceforth be called the:

“United Workers of the New World Great Communal Feast”

When asked by the press how he planned to celebrate the new holiday the President replied he hopes for a traditional gathering with family, friends, food, drink and plenty of time between courses for a smoke break. He also announced plans to continue a family tradition of kicking things off with a public reading of Marx’s Communist Manifesto, followed by a hysterical 30 minute hate America diatribe by Reverend Jeremiah Wright and wrapping the evening up by going around the table and everyone sharing what they’re most thankful for this year.

All of the dinner guest’s comments of thanks were submitted in advance and in writing for prior approval from the White House Propaganda Czar. Thoughts of Obama from Bama has obtained a confidential copy and we are pleased to include these remarks in this article:

· Vice President Uncle Joe Biden – Most thankful for California Senator Barbara Boxer. The only politician in America that makes more absolutely absurd; silly; ludicrous; inexplicable; and irrational comments than ole Joe hisself.
· Secretary of State Hillary Clinton - Most thankful for her success in avoiding enemy sniper fire as she travels the globe as our chief diplomat. She is also most grateful for her seemingly endless supply of butt ugly pants suits.
· Former President Bill Clinton – Most thankful the wife is our chief diplomat and is gone 80% traveling the globe dodging enemy sniper fire.
· White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel – Most thankful the next Presidential election isn’t until 2012. Believes there is still time to create a crisis of biblical proportions, blame W, and salvage the unmitigated devastation of the Obama Presidency.
· Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner – Most thankful the President kept him from going to prison for tax evasion.
· Barney “Freddie in the Fannie Mac” Frank – Most thankful this shindig will be over in time for him to get home for his annual “Come as Your Favorite Gay Nekkid Pilgrim Party”.
· Presidential Czars, exact number of these individuals is a State secret – Most thankful they got a pass on the Senate confirmation process where they all would have surly been exposed for the tax cheats; terrorist sympathizers; eco-nazis; boneheaded Marxist/Socialist they truly are.
· First Lady Michelle Obama – Most thankful for the opportunity to empathize with all the common folk, the working class people, when she’s not gallivanting about in Air Force One to Martha’s Vineyard or on a date with Barack in New York City.
· President Barack Husain Obama – Most thankful for an adoring and hyper partisan press who, at least up till now, refuses to out him for his ultra liberal; leftwing; secular progressive; terrorist appeasing; Marxist/Socialist; chain smoking beliefs and actions.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama wishes everyone a joyous and safe Thanksgiving. As for the “United Workers of the New World Great Communal Feast”, knock yourself out Mr. President. We certainly hope you and Hit in Head by One too Many Acorns have a lovely holiday weekend.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 43: United States vs. Khalid Sheikh Mohammad; Waleed bin Attash; Ramzi Binalshibh; Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi; Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali; George W Bush; Richard B Cheney; The Entire Bush Administration; Joint Chiefs of Staff; CIA; Laura, Jenna, Barbara; and Barney and Spot the former First Pooches

“We don't give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give 'em plenty of publicity.” Will Rogers

On Friday of the 43rd week of our 44th President’s Administration Senior Obama political hack and US Attorney General, Eric Holder, made a remarkable but predictable announcement on behalf of our Bower to Foreign Monarchs-in-Chief. To the utter delight of the ACLU; the blame America first crowd; Usama Bin Laden; the liberal media elite; and boneheaded so called progressives in Congress and absolute outrage of 90% plus of the family members of 9/11 victims; New York City first responders; 2/3rds of We the People; and any fellow citizen with half a brain and a lick of sense our Nation’s AG proclaimed openly and without shame that the 5 principal conspirators responsible for the cowardly terrorist attacks on 9/11 would be tried as common criminals in a US Federal Courthouse in downtown Manhattan.

Holding court for these 5 self proclaimed enemy combatants Islamic Jihadist, so called Holy Warriors, in our civil Criminal Justice system grants these murderous barbarians the same rights and protections usually reserved for us taxpayers. Giving fanatic Islamic religious zealots who committed the most deadly act of war on American soil since Pearl Harbor the same legal standing as some lowlife who knocked off the corner liquor store or a no count white trash yahoo that stole his neighbors goat is not only stupid but absolutely absurd.

We can say a lot of things about the “Yes we can break the national bank, keep our real agenda hidden, and keep the folks in the dark as long as we damn well please” gang including they’re:

1. Arrogant – They know best, just ask them
2. Elitist – As the day is long
3. Liars- Only when their lips are moving
4. Political hacks – No doubt about it
5. Secular progressives – As God as our witness
6. Liberal leftwing extremist – Got that right
7. Endless campaigners – 2,4,6,8, We want a Socialist Nanny State
8. Socialist – Unabashed true believers
9. Communist – If not yet listing badly in that direction
10. Stupid – Not a chance, and that’s what makes this bunch so dangerous and this seemingly boneheaded decision so disconcerting.

One would think bringing these cowardly fanatics to justice would be the President’s and AG Holder’s first priority. Sadly, SOP for this group is to divert and deceive, while they push a hidden agenda that usually can’t pass the “the Sunshine Test” when exposed to the public.

AG/Political hack Holder’s justification for the decision to hold these trials in Federal Court as opposed to a Military Commission includes his opinion that the 9/11 attack was both a crime and an act of war. Secondly, he stated without any hint of a smile, the chances for a successful prosecution/conviction are much greater in Federal Court.

With all due respect to Senior Political hack Holder – that dog just won’t hunt; we may have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night; and that’s the biggest load of camel dung we’ve heard since the President’s last speech on Socialized Medicine.

As for 9/11 being a crime a quick review of the history of American jurist prudence reveals not even one previous offense that could be considered comparable in magnitude, loss of life, destruction, or financial devastation. Serial killers and mass murderers Gary Ridgway; The Green River Killer, Albert Fish; and Coral Eugene Watts don’t even come within shouting distance. All 3 thought to have killed around 100 folks are a far cry from the 3,000 massacred on 9/11.

The 5 defendants terrorist credentials and participation in a paramilitary groups the likes of al Qaeda don’t exactly seem to have a lot in common with the carjackers, drug dealers and gang bangers currently clogging up our criminal justice system either. Following is a brief description of their charges and terrorist activities as compiled by Fox News:

· Khalid Sheikh Mohammad admitted to interrogators that he thought up the attacks -- he allegedly proposed the concept to Usama bin Laden as early as 1996, obtained funding for the attacks from bin Laden, oversaw the operation and trained the hijackers in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
· Bin Attash, a Yemeni, allegedly ran an Al Qaeda training camp in Logar, Afghanistan, where two of the 19 hijackers were trained. Bin Attash is believed to have been bin Laden's bodyguard. Authorities say bin Laden selected him as a hijacker, but he was prevented from participating when he was briefly detained in Yemen in early 2001.
· Binalshibh, a Yemeni, allegedly helped find flight schools for the hijackers, helped them enter the United States and assisted with financing the operation. He allegedly was selected to be a hijacker and made a "martyr video" in preparation for the operation, but was unable to get a U.S. visa. He also is believed to be a lead operative for a foiled plot to crash aircraft into London's Heathrow Airport.
· Ali allegedly helped nine of the hijackers travel to the United States and sent them $120,000 for expenses and flight training. He is believed to have served as a key lieutenant to Mohammed in Pakistan. He was born in Pakistan and raised in Kuwait.
· Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi, a Saudi, allegedly helped the hijackers with money, western clothing, traveler's checks and credit cards. Al-Hawsawi testified in the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, saying he had seen Moussaoui at an al-Qaida guesthouse in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in early 2001, but was never introduced to him or conducted operations with him

Political hack Holder’s ludicrous claim his chances for a conviction are almost guaranteed in Federal Court also demands further scrutiny. Actually, 2 letters sums up the risk of a civil trial – can anybody say OJ!!!

All it takes is 1 Islamic Jihadist sympathizer slipping through the jury selection process, a cranky activist judge having a bad year or some deft legal maneuvering by a smart ass ACLU lawyer resulting in Omar walking because of an obscure technicality. An acquittal for any of these madmen probably doesn’t mean they’ll walk, as we do have other legal means to keep Akbar and his merry band of rug makers in custody, but it will hand the enemy a victory that could have been easily averted with some badly needed Presidential leadership.

Only problem, our Terrorist Appeaser-in-Chief and his senior Political hack AG Holder, don’t give a happy by damn about KSM and his 4 terrorist cohorts. Their one and only purpose for arranging this show trial in the media capital of the world is to embarrass W and hopefully trump up some criminal charges against a few Bushys for future prosecution.

This entire charade is nothing more than another pathetic attempt by the Obama White House to criminalize the policies of the W Administration. A tactic frequently employed by corrupt Democrat Chicago politicians and third world banana republic Despots.

President Obama’s decision to conduct trials in Federal Court in New York for the 5 Islamic Jihadist enemy combatants 9/ 11 conspirators is unforgivable. His willingness to place politics ahead of national security; expose millions of New Yorkers to increased risk of terrorist attacks; and granting cowardly Muslim terrorist the same legal standing as US citizens is unprecedented and in direct conflict with the Oath of Office he swore to uphold 43 short weeks ago.

Mr. President, it’s high time for you to get over your bad case of the W Paranoid Schizophrenia; focus your full and undivided attention on prosecuting our global war on terrorism; stop the dithering over the Afghanistan policy; and put an immediate halt to granting Islamic Jihadist cowards the same legal standing as United States citizens.

Week 10 – Alabama 31: Mississippi State 3

Roll Tide, Roll Tide, Roll on Mighty Tide

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 42: "Rolling Down the Track Faster Than a Runaway Train Towards Socialism”

“I hear the train a comin'It's rolling round the bendAnd I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' onBut that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him dieWhen I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry” Johnny Cash

First and foremost Thoughts of Obama from Bama extends our condolences, thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of those killed by a cowardly Islamic Jihadist terrorist last Thursday at Fort Hood, Texas. We also send our best wishes for a speedy recovery to all the wounded. Their service and sacrifice are greatly appreciated.

Freedom and liberty took a gut shot this week as the US House of Representatives approved their Socialized Medicine Reform Bill Saturday night. Not a mortal wound but certainly a crippling blow to capitalism; free enterprise; our civil liberties; and our Democratic way of life.

Voting along straight Party lines the final tally was Socialist – 220; Republicans – 215. One deaf, dumb, and blind Republican from Louisiana voted with the Socialist. Must be a LSU grad (Hey Tigers, we just beat the hell out of you. Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer…). The train wreck of the
Obama Administration and their comrades in Congress are definitely one step closer to realizing their Utopian Marxist dreams of a Socialist America and a single payer Government run Healthcare System.

Many Americans still can’t accept the fact that the current occupant of the Oval Office is a genuine Socialist. The sad truth is that even a cursory review of his writings, speeches and drug fogged school years reveals young Barack Husain Obama jumped on the Socialist train a long time ago.

Records are a tad sketchy but Thoughts of Obama from Bama has it on good authority that our future Socialist-in-Chief was indoctrinated at a very young age in not only Marxist/Socialist doctrine but also Islam. Growing up in Hawaii and Kenya our budding young Socialist was an active member of the following extremist organizations:

· Hawaiian Socialist Youth League
· Kenyan Socialist Youth League
· Future Marxist of America
· Che Guevara Fan Club
· Barbara Streisand Socialist Youth Choir
· Marx/Lenin World Domination Society
· Big Brother and Big Sister are Watching You Association
· Young Democrats
· Castro’s Socialist Cigar Officiando Club
· Children of the Chinese Revolution
· International Union of Socialist Youth
· Socialist Youth Front
· Comrades International
· Future Sheet Head Adorner’s of America Society

Those still not convinced of our Marxist/Leninist-in-Chief’s Socialist pedigree need look no further than the views expressed in his own words in two books, Dreams of My Father and The Audacity of Hope, both of which hit number 1on the Havana Times Best Sellers List and several public comments he has repeatedly made over the years. Following are a few examples:

· About his drug sub-culture days spent at Occidental College Obama wrote “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he further wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.” He concluded: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”
· “It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." Definetly paraphrasing Karl Marx, “Religion is the Opiate of the People” while addressing a crowd of liberal elite boneheads in San Francisco.
· “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Certainly comforting to hear from our Commander-in-Chief who is suppose to be conducting 2 wars against Islamic terrorist in Iraq and Afghanistan.
· Revealing his true position on Socialized Medicine "I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care plan."
· “It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.” Stating his advocacy of the classic Socialist economic tenant, the Redistribution of Wealth, to Joe the Plumber.
· “Their ain’t a dimes worth of difference between a Democrat and a Socialist” · “Socialism then; Socialism now; Socialism forever”
· “Keep Socialism alive, Keep Socialism alive, Great God Almighty, Keep Socialism alive”

Granted the last three might be a bit of a yarn but Thoughts of Obama from Bama is confidant if he didn’t actually say it he was damn sure thinking it.
In addition to Socialized Medicine a review of the Socialist Party of America’s Political Platform reveals an extremely troubling commonality with the President’s; Comrades Pelosi and Reid’s; and the Democrat Party’s policy initiatives. Major Democrat supported Socialist initiatives headed straight at us like a runaway locomotive include:

· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Advocates the "right" of adequate housing for everyone – Community Organizer Obama trained ACORN workers to secure mortgages for unqualified people in sufficient numbers and with the intent to collapse the housing and financial industries.
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Believes in open borders and six-months residency as the only requirement for U.S. citizenship - Obama marched with illegal aliens in Chicago in -support of "comprehensive" immigration reform. Pelosi encourages criminal illegal aliens to’ ignore our laws and bilk the system. A felony deserving of criminal prosecution.
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Demands a "livable guaranteed annual income”.Obama trained ACORN members to conduct seminars on the subject in cities around the country.
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Calls for a "steeply graduated" Progressive tax policy - Obama has promised to increase the tax burden on the” rich”. Although defining exactly who is rich isn’t based on personal income but instead Government revenue requirements.
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Wants unions to be reorganized without a secret ballot - Obama supports Card check and believes that labor unions should be allowed to organize without a secret ballot
· The USA Socialist Party Platform: Demands we tuck and run from Iraq like a scalded dog – Obama won’t acknowledge victory and dishonors the fallen and all that have sacrificed so much

Norman Mattoon Thomas was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Following are his views of America’s Socialist transformation:

· "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened! "He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform."

This Socialist train roaring down the track sure as hell ain’t bound for glory. Our Socialist Revolutionary in-Chief’s actual destination is cradle to grave Big Government control, oppression, and intrusion in every aspect of our lives. The Socialist transformation of our great nation has already secured a strong toehold and is ever so stealthy establishing a tyrannical death grip on our God given liberties and freedoms.

High time we jumped this train, change tracks and ran the President and his Congressional Comrades out of office on the nearest rail.

A Final Thought.

The first Islamic terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11 occurred last Thursday during week 42 of the Obama Presidency. Nidal Malik Hasan; an Officer in the US Army; Man of Medicine; A convert to Islam; An obviously deranged, psychotic, pathological killer (Characteristics shared by most Islamic terrorist); declared a Jihad against his own Country, fellow soldiers, and from his perspective the Great Satan; Killing 13 and wounding 29 Americans at Fort Hood in central Texas; A horrific and cowardly act murdering and maiming dozens in the name of Allah; A vicious and coldblooded act of war by an Islamic Jihadist terrorist.

Our Commander-in-Chief’s response to this terrorist attack screams out for analysis and scrutiny:

1. The President’s first public comments took place at a scheduled Press Conference following a Seminar at The Interiors Department. His opening remarks were troubling and bizarre.

Before mentioning the terrorist attack (Our words, not his) he rambled on for 2- 3 minutes just standing behind that podium smiling and waving like he had good sense. He seemed more than content to praise the success of the meeting and give shout outs to folks in the audience.

When he finally got around to the attack there was no mention of a terrorist; the first terrorist attack on the homeland since 9/11; or the Islamist Jihadist responsible.

He did extend his condolences and warned the rest of us not to jump to any conclusions. Translation – when we all find out the gunman is a Muslim with ties to al-Qaeda don’t automatically assume he’s an Islamic Jihadist terrorist – as Political Correctness is priority one in these types of sensitive situations.

2. The President delivered an eloquent and well written speech at the Memorial Service held a Fort Hood on Tuesday. He made warm and fitting tributes to the fallen. He also displayed what appeared to be true empathy for the family and friends of those gunned downed by this madman.

He again conspicuously failed to mention this was a terrorist attack; The first terrorist attack on the homeland since 9/11; This was an act of war; We would hold those who inspired, supported, and carried out this act of war responsible.

Either Presidential Political Correctness run amuck or a much more insidious response from our Commander-in-Chief consistent with previous remarks from his book Dreams of My Father can explain his truly bewildering reaction to the terrorist attack at Fort Hood.

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Barack H Obama

Not exactly the call to arms we were hoping to hear from our President as we continue our global war with Muslim extremist and Islamic Jihadist.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 41: “The Patients Really are Running the Asylum, Part 2”

"Speakin' of fruitcakes, how 'bout the government? Your tax dollars at work.
We lost our Martian rocket ship The high paid spokesman said Looks like that silly rocket ship Has lost its cone shaped head We spent 90 jillion dollars, trying to get a look at Mars I hear universal laughter, ringing out among the stars

Fruitcakes in the galaxy Fuitcakes on the earth Struttin' naked towards eternity We've been that way since birth Half-baked cookies in the oven Half-baked people on the bus There's a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us”

Jimmy Buffett, Fruitcakes

In last week’s Column, “Week 40: The Patients Really are Running the Asylum”, we talked about the madness of ramming Socialized Medicine down our throats especially when considering Einstein’s definition of crazy, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. We also identified the 4 seriously disturbed individuals leading this effort and their absence of any healthcare experience what so ever but abundance of Socialist credentials – Our Commander-in-Chief, Barack “Insane” Obama; White House Chief of Staff, Rahm “The Unhinged Enforcer Sleeps With the Fishes” Emanuel; Speaker of the House, Nancy “The Nutcase” Pelosi; and Senate Majority Leader, Harry “Mr. Public Option Come Hell or High Water One Can Short of a Six Pack” Reid.

This week we will expose some of the other “half-baked fruitcakes” assisting these four run “The Asylum” better known as our Nation’s Capital.

First, a multiple choice question:

· 36 accused of spousal abuse
· 7 arrested for fraud
· 19 accused of writing bad checks
· 117 directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
· 3 have done time for assault
· 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
· 14 arrested on drug-related charges
· 8 arrested for shoplifting
· 84 arrested for drunk driving

The stats listed above represent the criminal activities of the members of what Organization?

A. NFL
B. NBA
C. Lindsay Lohan and her Fan Club
D. Rap Group Crime Mob
E. None of the above

So who is this group of abusive; deadbeat; drug crazed; kleptomaniac; drunkards? E – None of the above. As Mark Twain so astutely observed “There is no distinctly native American criminal class except the US Congress”. The 435 scoundrels responsible for spending/wasting trillions of our hard earned dollars and writing the laws that govern this great nation are seemingly heavily infiltrated by not only “Half-baked Fruitcakes” but also a fair to midland number of hardcore criminals.

And these Criminal Stats don’t even incluade the two most recent additions to the Senate, Illinois’ Roland “Pay for Play” Burris and the Honorable “Half-baked Fruitcakes” of “Half-baked Fruitcakes” Al “I’m Dumber Than a Bag of Rocks and Crazier Than a Run over Dog” Franken from the truly politically bewildering state of Minnesota. Fraud, drug charges and Impersonating a Sane and Lawful Individual Crime Stats will surely spike dramatically after adding these two model citizens to the ranks of Congress.

The President’s Government Takeover of Healthcare Team keeps trying the same thing, Socialized Medicine, which has failed miserably in Massachusetts; Tennessee; Canada; and Great Britain, expecting different results when imposed on the entire nation. A classic example of the psychotic reckoning Einstein defined as insanity.

Some of the obviously psychologically disturbed left wing extremist making up this team include the following half-baked fruitcakes:

· Nancy-Ann Min DeParle – White House Healthcare Czar: Tennessee Grad, strike 1; Lawyer, strike 2; Clinton Administration Alum, strike 3; Absolutely no operational Healthcare experience. Suffering from a bad case of the Do Nothing/No Nothing Government Bureaucrat Brain Freeze Syndrome
· Kathleen Sebelius - Secretary of Health and Human Services: Leading the H1N1 Vaccine Program. Has over sold and under delivered blaming others for her and this Administration’s incompetence (SOP). Inflicted with the Healthcare Czar Envy Syndrome.
· Chucky Schumer - U.S. Senator from the State of New York: Another lawyer totaling lacking any Healthcare experience. Third in line in Senate Democratic Leadership. Recently diagnosed with Compulsive Obsessive Disorder displaying symptoms including the inability to leave the Senate Chamber until he has told at least eight lies and blamed W for some manner of international calamity.
· Max Baucus - U.S. Senator from Montana. Current chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance and primary author of partisan Senate Healthcare Reform Bill: Rumored to be et up with a severe bout of Coulrophobia, an abnormal fear of clowns. We commend him for overcoming this crippling condition having to spend so much time with his Democratic comrades in the Senate.
· Barney “Freddie in the Fannie Mac” Frank – Massachusetts Congressman: Another pinheaded Harvard Law Grad. Only Healthcare experience the time spent in the hospital for his sex change operation. Said to be inflicted with multiple Psychological conditions far too many in number to list here.
· Henry A. Waxman – California Congressman: Chair Commerce and Energy Committee and oversight of Health Sub Committee. Stared in “Lord of the Rings” as the Mayor of the Shire requiring no makeup or costume to achieve the desired look of a Hobbit. Another career politician with no healthcare experience. Frequently displays psychotic paranoid tendencies, especially in the presence of Wizards, Elves and Orcs.
· Al Franken – Minnesota Senator: SNL cast member and writer. Bombed out as liberal radio talk show host. Author of “Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations”. Psychological disorders include Rush Limbaugh Power Envy Syndrome; Rush Limbaugh Money Envy Syndrome; Rush Limbaugh Popularity Envy Syndrome; and Rush Limbaugh Talent Envy Syndrome.
-

With every passing day the White House and Capitol Hill look and act more like a Home for the Criminally Insane and nothing at all like the world’s “Cradle of Democracy” occupied by wise and sage Statesmen and Patriots. Sadly, Washington DC has surpassed San Francisco as the Fruitcake Capital of the World.

In spite of growing public opposition, punch drunk with power and totally out of touch with the folks and reality, President Obama; Speaker Pelosi; Majority Leader Reid; and their fellow psychos in Congress are continuing to pursue their Marxist dreams of Socialized Medicine. We the People need to reclaim control of the Asylum, put a stop to all this madness, and once again remind our dear ole Uncle Sammy to keep his long and obtrusive nose out of private sector free market Healthcare System.

Week 8 – Bye
Roll Tide, Roll Tide, Roll on Mighty Tide

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 40: “The Patients Really are Running the Asylum”

“With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same

With all of my running and all of my cunning If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane

If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane If we weren't all crazy we would go insane “

Jimmy Buffett – “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes”

There seems to be some seriously crazy ass folks currently running this Country. This handful of leftwing Socialist extremist all appear to be inflicted with a Messiah and/or God complex or some other truly dangerous psychological malady.

With a grandiose sense of self importance and arrogance, thinking they are just right smarter than everyone else and all the experts in their respective fields, this bunch of inexperienced lunatics are already running Wall Street; the US Auto industry; the domestic Energy industry; and now have their delusionary hearts set on a hostile takeover of 1/6 of the domestic economy, the US Healthcare System.

Starting with our MD/Healer/ Physician/Head Nurse/Med Tech/Hospital Administrator/Orderly/Candy Striper/Brain Surgeon/Bedpan Cleaner/Radiologist/Never Spent a Single Minute of his Life Working in the Healthcare Industry-in-Chief, our 44th President Barack Husain Obama, along with the politicians and White House staffers writing the so called Healthcare Reform (Socialized Medicine) legislation all of whom don’t know jack about delivering or financing Healthcare Services.

-

A quick check of the President’s bio confirms his “work” experience in the healthcare industry:

1. ________________
2. ________________
3. ________________

Impressive, a big fat goose egg; zero; nada; zilch; nothing/no thing. Of course the President in actuality doesn’t have any real business or management experience, Healthcare or otherwise. He has never met a payroll, negotiated a line of credit, purchased insurance for employees or competed in a free market economy.

To be fair, he was born in a hospital; frequently drives by one; he does watch “Grey’s Anatomy” on Thursday nights; and Michelle did have that cushy part time position as Community Outreach Director at the University of Chicago making $300 grand while working only 20 hours a week. We should all sleep like fat babies at night comforted from the knowledge that such a seasoned and experienced individual is not only running the Government but also a big chunk of our private sector economy.

Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff and Political Hatchet man; Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House; and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are the other three seasoned “Healthcare professionals” merging together a final bill. A review of their Healthcare credentials reveals the following:

· Rahm Emanuel – Chicago political hack; Clinton flunky; Investment Banker; Board Member of the corrupt and now financially defunct Freddie Mac; Congressman/Democratic leadership.
Healthcare Experience – Father and brother both Docs; Watches “Greys Anatomy” with First Family on Thursday nights
· Nancy Pelosi – Mother of 5 little Socialist; San Francisco political hack; Married money; Congresswoman/Democratic leadership.
Healthcare Experience – Has 3 Plastic Surgeons on call 24/7; Spends summer vacations in exclusive Swiss Psychiatric Hospital receiving therapy for her chronic “I’m a hopeless airhead, radical, leftwing, liberal, Socialist/Marxist, head case” Syndrome; She loved the movie “Coma”
· Harry Reid – Nevada political hack; Congressman; Senator/Democratic leadership; seemingly has never earned a dime in the private sector.
Healthcare Experience: Played Doctor once when12 with girl next door; Received millions from malpractice trial lawyers lobby; Addicted to old MASH reruns.

Taking all this into consideration raises some interesting questions:

1. Have we completely lost our collective minds allowing four individuals, with absolutely zero experience in the healthcare industry, to write a bill that basically transforms our current free market Health system into Socialized Medicine, resulting in rationing, increased cost and a lower quality of care?
2. Isn’t it crazy to turn the best Healthcare System in the world upside down and inside out when 85% of us love it and the other 15% can be taken care of without spending trillions and a Government takeover?
3. Do we need to stop the madness, throw this Bill out, consult the experts and fix what needs fixen and keep Uncle Sammy’s grubby little hands off of our Healthcare?

The answers and feel free to shout em out loud openly and without shame:

1. YES!
2. HELL YES!!!
3. HELL BARACK HUISAN OBAMA IS A POINTY HEADED SOCIALIST RADICAL LEFTWING MARXIST YES!!!!!

Another question that begs answering is will our Bonehead-in-Chief and his liberal comrades in Congress ever learn that it is contrary to the Laws of Nature and Physics for big Government to run any large Socialist entitlement program, actually with the exception of the Military it’s probably fair to include any large entity in this category, in an efficient, productive and fiscally responsible fashion? Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. According to ole Al the President and his liberal elitist fellow Democrats must all be stark raving mad.

With Healthcare Reform/Socialized Medicine being their most recent departure from sanity there are a mess of other examples that support Al’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” diagnosis including:

· Social Security – Established during the Great Depression as a financial safety net. Current status: Bloated, broke and insolvent
· Medicaid and Medicare – Passed into law in the 1960’s as part of LBJ’s Great Society to provide healthcare for the elderly and poor. Current status: Riddled with fraud and corruption, bloated, broke and insolvent.
· Welfare/War on Poverty – Also part of LBJ’s Great Society, trillions expended, victim class created. Current status: Lost the War.
· The U.S. Postal Service - Established in 1775, Current status: Even with no competition on daily mail delivery, bloated, broke and insolvent.
· Fannie Mae established in 1938 and Freddie Mac in 1970 have both gone belly up because of experiments in social engineering advocating the redistribution of wealth. Current status: Riddled with fraud and corruption, bloated, broke and insolvent.

Adding Government run Healthcare/Socialized Medicine to this list confirms the “Change We Can Believe In” gang are all crazier than an outhouse rat.

Are the patients really running the asylum? If Einstein’s definition of insanity holds water it would unfortunately seem to be an accurate assessment of our current political predicament.

Bless their psychotic hearts, hopefully we can keep these poor demented souls away from matches, sharp objects and from implementing major Socialist program initiatives doomed for failure for the next three years. Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise we will all survive this insanity until then, at which time, Baracky, Rhamy. Nancy and Harry can all take well deserved extended “vacations” at the Democrat Oaks Psychiatric Hospital for the Seriously Disturbed and Crazy Ass People.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 39: “Barackasswards”

“The Arabs are a backwards people who eat nothing but Camel dung” Winston Churchill

In the grand scheme of things there seems to be no doubt that our 44th President and Creator of Crisis-in-Chief has his priorities completely out of whack. During week 39 of the train wreck known as the Obama Administration our President declared war on the US Health Insurance industry, Rush Limbaugh and the Fox News Network. With a real live shooting war already raging in Afghanistan in dire need of Presidential leadership it would seem Mr. Obama’s actions are totally “Barackasswards”.

The Camel dung consuming folks Mr. Churchill so eloquently refers to above, certainly not all Arabs but definitely the likes of al Qaeda, the Taliban and all the other wild eyed Islamic Jihadist currently infesting Afghanistan and Pakistan, demand and deserve our full and undivided attention. President Obama’s waffling and indecisiveness about his Afghan strategy with troops in harm’s way is inexcusable and another sign of his “Barackasswards” approach to waging this war.

Back in August our Waffler-in-Chief’s handpicked commander of the Afghan Theatre, General McChrystal, recommended the addition of 40,000 troops would be required for a successful counterinsurgency. He further warned the situation on the ground was quickly going to Hell in a Handbag and that the war could be lost without immediate and decisive action. 8 weeks later no decisions, no direction, and a total vacuum of Presidential leadership. Unequivocally a “Barackasswards” response to an urgent and serious situation.

Our Passivist-in-Chief claims the unstable political situation, specifically the Presidential runoff election in Afghanistan, needs to be resolved before he makes any final decisions about our military strategy. Considering the political situation in Afghanistan has been unstable for centuries and the occupant of their Presidential mansion has absolutely no impact on our ability to kill Mr. Churchill’s Camel Dung eaters, Mr. Obama’s inaction is inexplicable and completely “Barackasswards”.

Unfortunately, our Appeaser-in-Chief’s strategy in Afghanistan is consistent with the blame America first, bend over and grab his ankles, thank you sir may I have another approach to foreign policy he has pursued around the world for the last 39 weeks. This “Barackasswards” foreign policy does not bode well for our national security interest or standing in the world. New real national security crisis are spreading across the globe faster than kudzu.

Current hot spots created in large part by our “Barackasswards” foreign policy initiatives include:

· Central and South America – Exchanging books with insane 3rd world Despots and enduring hours of Hate America BS – Bend over and grab his ankles, thank you Mr. Chavez and Noriega may I have another - “Barackasswards” diplomacy at its best.
· Middle East Peace Talks – Folding to Israel’s refusal to stop expansion – Bend over and grab his ankles, thank you Mr. Netanyahu may I have another - “Barackasswards” diplomacy at its best.
· Islamic Outreach – Address to Muslim world from Cairo apologizing and blaming America for all the sins of the world - Bend over and grab his ankles, thank you Mr. Abdul Mohammad the Goat Herder may I have another - “Barackasswards” diplomacy at its best.
· Folding like a cheap lawn chair to the Russians - Canceling the Polish and Czech missile defense bases - Bend over and grab his ankles, thank you Mr. Medvedev and Putin may I have another - “Barackasswards” diplomacy at its best.
· North Korea - nuclear nonproliferation, more testing, Americans held hostage - Bend over and grab his ankles, thank you Mr. Kim Jong-il may I have another - “Barackasswards” diplomacy at its best.

The Change gang in the White House has created an economic; energy; climate change; healthcare; and health insurance crisis of biblical proportions in their relentless efforts to hoodwink the folks and implement their Socialist/Marxist policies. Their one real crisis, with the lives of our Armed Services folks hanging in the balance, has been deferred, probably for political reasons, to appease Mr. Obama’s ultra leftwing comrades in Congress and financial supporters.

It is high time we wiped out Mr. Churchill’s Camel Dung eating Arab members of the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. To achieve victory we need bold, decisive, courageous presidential leadership. A “Barackasswards” approach can only lead to strengthening our enemies, further compromising of our national security and an increased probability of terrorist attacks on the homeland and US interest around the world.
