Thoughts on Obama from Bama
The Inauguration – Climax of the Great American Ho Ax
“You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.”
Abraham Lincoln
The long, slow, sloppy wet kiss symbolizing the free, fair, unbelievable and unforgivable biased press coverage leading to this week’s climax with the inauguration of our forty-fourth President, Barrack Hussein Obama, represents the culmination of the biggest ho ax ever perpetrated on the American people. A ho ax, or hoax to all you non southern Americans, of unprecedented and monumental proportions.
We the people, hoodwinked by the press, democrats and the Obama campaign have just witnessed the most liberal and socialist leaning individual in the history of this great nation take the Oath of Office for the presidency of the United States. To quote Mr. Obama’s most recent political expedient hero again:
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves” Abraham Lincoln
No matter how hard he tries to emulate and tout his similarities with Abe Lincoln, the only similarities I’ve detected are a gift for soaring oratory, long lanky frames and those floppy Dumbo ears. In fact, the only real commonality between President Obama and ole Abe may be Abe’s prophecy about our destruction being self inflicted. Hopefully the election of our new president is one self inflicted wound we can ultimately recover from. Let’s also hope the resiliency of the American people can endure the attack on our liberties, freedom and bank accounts that is about to be unleashed by Barracky, Nancy, Harry, Barny, Teddy and the rest of the socialist that just took over our nation’s capital.
So what ho ax or ruse did the “Yes We Can” and “Change We can Believe In” crowd actually pull on the American people? The liberal left wing media and sadly even a number of conservative pundits and politicians would have us believe the new president has made a genuine philosophical shift to the center and will govern from this perspective as well. In the parlance of the Deep South where I proudly reside, that dog just won’t hunt.
Unfortunately, candidate and now President Obama is and seemingly always has been a proud, bleeding heart, card carrying member of the ACLU, left of left liberal with strong socialist tendencies. His meager but ultra liberal U.S. Senate voting record, past working relationship with the likes of ACORN and recent appointments including an admitted socialist as his new Energy Czar are all strong indications that we just gave the keys to the White House to one of Mao Zedong greatest admirers. All of you who crave socialized government controlled healthcare, a real government takeover of our private sector economy, a weaker military, compromised surveillance of militant Islamic terrorist hell bent on destroying our way of life, and a government bureaucrat in every household to make us coffee in the morning, pick the kids up after school and tuck us in a night are gonna be walking in high cotton for the next four years.
Campaign promises, new policy initiatives and executive orders being issued even as I write this article strongly suggest that we just might have a combination of Marx, Lennon and Barbara Streisand reincarnate occupying the Oval Office. The focus on withdrawal as opposed of winning in Iraq, (which for all practical purposes has already occurred) closing Gitmo, massive new government spending, increasing tax rates on our country’s most productive citizens, and a blatantly socialistic plan to redistribute wealth strongly suggest the advancement of a ultra left wing agenda that puts FDR’s New Deal to shame.
The other great deception achieved by the pointy headed liberal media elite and Obama campaign was the advancement of the idea that candidate Obama actually has the experience and qualifications to serve as our next Commander and Chief. What’s really amazing, and extremely frightening, they convinced a majority of American voters to believe this fairytale. That being said, even the Obama faithful ultimately, although reluctantly, acknowledged the gaping holes in his resume. With the exception of all the head cases at the New York Times, NBC and the gals on the View, most reasonable folks would agree that several years as a community organizer, a few terms in the corrupt Illinois legislature and two years in the U’S. Senate, mostly spent AWOL, ain’t exactly the credentials most of us are looking for in our presidents. Manager of the local Seven/ Eleven, sure, but leader of the free world, a bit of a stretch to say the least.
To overcome this revelation the change gang then convinced us (with the exception of yours truly and most of my fellow southerners) that the lack of experience was actually an attribute. Certainly a new and novel approach. Besides, wise and sound judgment are what we need most and Presidential hopeful Obama was equal in this area to not only Abe Lincoln and our nation’s fore fathers but Solomon of biblical times hiself.
The only problem with this argument is that you really have to be rode hard and put up wet to find any examples that actually support this claim. In fact, examples contradicting this claim are more abundant than the dead armadillos you’d see on the shoulder of I65 when driving between Montgomery and Mobile, Alabama.
Almost every major decision of his adult life gives all of us reason to pause and seriously consider the alleged good judgment exercised by our new fearless leader since graduating from Harvard. Following is a representative sample of some of his most famous or more accurately infamous decisions:
- He’s a lawyer
- He’s married to a lawyer
- He’s a Yankee
- Married, baptized the kids, book title inspired by and twenty year relationship with Reverend “I hate America”, racist, crackpot, Wright
- First real house a sweetheart deal with convicted felon and political ally and hack Tony Rezko that even President Obama confessed was boneheaded
- Met with weekly and served as senior campaign consultant to gubernatorial candidate, extorter in-chief, thief, and liar extraordinaire, soon to be impeached Governor, the one and only Blago
- Hangs with neighbor, best bud, fellow board member and political soul mate Bill Ayers. A domestic terrorist who openly regrets he didn’t kill more people during his sixties bombing spree.
- Did I mention he’s a lawyer
Quite a record, no wonder Chris Mathews has tingles running up his leg. I personally feel something running up my leg as well but it ain’t tingles. Feels more like the long arm of Uncle Sammy coming to steal the family jewels.
Not to worry the “Yes we Can”, media conspirators, and sadly far too many so called conservative pols and pundits tell us. Look at the solid, pragmatic, govern from the center group he’s gathered to his administration. Call me crazy, but I strongly beg to differ. In my humble opinion all we can expect from this so called “Team of Rivals” is a lot of chopping with absolutely no chips flying.
Following are several choice examples of President Obama’s “superior” judgment:
1. V.P. – Joe, “Foot in Mouth”, “when in doubt plagiarize”, Biden. Seems Mrs., /Dr. Biden is inflicted with the same “Foot in Mouth” condition. Spilling the beans about hubby’s VP and Sec of State choice on Oprah was classic.
2. Secretary of State – Hillary “GI Jane” Clinton. A woman well known journalist William Safire once accurately described as a pathological liar. Free now to roam the globe at tax payers’ expense ducking enemy sniper fire to her heart’s desire.
3. Attorney General - Eric “Pardon me, excuse me” Holder. Recommended pardons for $40 million dollar tax cheat Mark Rich and several known terrorist. What’s with this administrations' attraction to tax cheats and terrorists?
4. Secretary of Treasury – Timothy “Turbo Tax Evader” Geithner. Admire his style but is this really the guy we want leading the IRS?
5. Secretary of Commerce – Bill “The Beard” Richardson. A crying shame the clipped whiskers didn’t even last long enough for the razor burns to heal.
6. Energy Czar (My personal favorite) – Comrade Carol Browner. Never thought I would live to see the day when an American president appointed to high office an out of the closet, shameless, self proclaimed Socialist. So sad makes you want to slap granny twice.
Don’t know about y’all but if these decisions are any barometer of future executive prerogatives we best baton down the hatches and Katie bar the door cause we are all in for one hell of a ride.
As the liberal media celebrates, honest Abe spins in his grave and the first black president of these United States begins what truly is a historic leap forward for our nation, I just hope we apprehend and put a major whooping on the person who snuck up behind our president, stuck a straw in his ear and sucked out half the poor man’s brains. This is the only feasible explanation I can come up with that explains why such a well educated and obviously intelligent and well intended man would pursue and advocate such an irresponsible and dangerous agenda.
We’ve all had front row seats for the grandest political Ho Ax ever witnessed in these here United States of America. During this historical period, let’s not let history repeat itself and be led astray again like sheep to slaughter to the detriment and possible downfall of our great nation.
I am, “America by Birth and Southern by the Grace of God”
