Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week Nineteen: The American Idol Presidency

“I won’t be happy till I’m as famous as God”

Madonna

“Senator McCain and Senator Obama, America has voted”….. go to commercial and come back to more infuriating stalling comments from Ryan Seacrest…. “Barack Hussein Obama, you have received more votes from your adoring fans (and criminal ACORN Community Activist and a whole bunch of recently deceased folk they registered) than any other contestant in the history of the show. You are the new American Idol.”

Seacrest asks, “Randy, your take”? Randy responds, “Never any doubt in my mind dog, the dude has style, class and a sense of elegance never witnessed on this stage before.”

“How about you Kara”? asks Seacrest “I am just completely in awe of your greatness and the aura of strength and wisdom. You truly are The One” Kara replies.

“Paula” Seacrest inquires, “anything to add?” Paula, “Barack, you look great tonight. I really don’t have a clue what you are talking about, might be the oxy or tabs clouding my thoughts, but you sound great and really passionate about whatever it is you are saying so you can certainly count on me, I will always respect you for being true to yourself.”

“And Simon, what do think of our new American Idol?” Seacrest asks. “Well Ryan, truth be told, I think he is over rated, an empty suit full of empty rhetoric and the most bloody dangerous chap we have voted in since that peanut farmer from Georgia mucked things up so bad back in the 70’s,” Simon retorts.

“Barack” Seacrest anxiously and admiringly asks, “Any thoughts about Simon’s comments?” Barack authoritatively and forcefully responds, “Yea man, the people have spoken and he is living in the past. I am “The One”, the biggest celebrity and the most popular person in this country and probably the world. I am more famous than God” (Note to Chief of Staff, Rahm the Enforcer Emanuel – add this Simon fella to our Enemies List, send him a dead fish wrapped in one of his white T shirts, revoke his visa and send his happy arse packing back to England).

We live in the age of Celebrity. Our society worships these mostly no count; burned out; repulsive; no talent; strung out on drugs; illiterate; loudmouth; boneheaded; revolving door rehab patients; mostly liberal; hip hop rap spewing ; criminals for no apparent reason other than the egg heads in the left wing media elite have elevated these low life’s to celebrity status.

Reality TV programs are some of the worst offenders, providing 15 minutes of fame to some bug eating yahoo and/or a second (or in most cases) last chance to a has been/never really was overweight, aging, balding, second rate “star”. Rock of Love, the Hills, Survivor, the Amazing Race, the Bachelor, Fear Factor and Celebrity Apprentice are all prime examples of these instant/empty celebrity phenomena.

In this era of instant and in most cases undeserved notoriety is it any wonder we just elected our very first genuine celebrity President. Celebrity in this case meaning, as they say over in Texas, “Big hat and no cattle”. John F Kennedy came close to achieving this status, hanging with the Rat Pack, Marilyn Monroe and such, but he actually had solid and impressive credentials deserving of a Commander-in-Chief. A decorated WWII war hero, JFK also served 12 years in the US Congress before his election to the presidency and was truly deserving of real celebrity status.

In

In comparison, President Obama worked as a Community Organizer for ACORN and as an on air Food Critic for a local Chicago TV station.
To maintain and promote his celebrity status our 44th President makes almost daily appearences on TV. In fact, Mr. Obama seems to get more face time on the tube than Barbara Walters, Paris Hilton, Bill O’Reilly and the Sham Wow pitchman combined. Certainly not the first president to exploit this medium, but definitely the first to abuse his access to the airwaves at such unprecedented levels.

Addressing a wide range of topics and issues, Mr. Obama’s daily performances have included more traditional presidential actions such as the announcement of Presidential appointments and nominees; Bill signing ceremonies; New Executive Orders and Directives; and major new policy initiatives. He has also used the airwaves in unprecedented ways to do his Mr. Good Wrench impression hawking US made cars, guaranteeing warrantees and service contracts and to update us all on the government’s stealth takeover of the credit card industry, which was just priceless!

He also has made remarks on the tube none of us could imagine an American President ever making. The public firing of GM’s CEO, urging companies to cancel meetings and conferences in a major US city, (costing Vegas over $100 million) and claiming America is not a Christian nation.

This White House has even scheduled TV news conferences for the purpose of announcing future announcements. Just this week the President conducted such a conference to inform all of us of his urgent plans to announce the appointment of a Cyber Czar at a yet to be scheduled future news conference.

During the campaign the First Lady of Evading Enemy Sniper Fire and the President’s current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, accused then candidate Obama of being nothing more than an inexperienced, lightweight, empty suit with a gift for soaring, lofty oratory absent of any substance or gravitas. In our opinion Madame Secretary has more accurately than most defined the modern day empty shell, shallow, vain and often incompetent individuals our society now considers a celebrity.

The President’s pathetic efforts to maintain his popularity, celebrity and enhance his fame here and abroad by overexposing himself dally on national TV trivializes the office of the Presidency. Focusing on mundane issues more “housekeeping” in nature in the name of transparency diminishes the urgency and priority of the really important business that should be occupying the President’s time, energy and attention.

Maybe a lot of this is just a smoke screen to divert our attention from the President’s real agenda, the bloodless socialist coup to take government control of all aspects of American life as we know it. This most likely being the “Yes We Can Take Over the Auto Industry Although we Have No Interest in Running it, wink, wink” administration’s real intent, by all means, Mr. President, stay focused on enhancing your celebrity status, living the dream and achieving your goal of being elected the next American Idol.

2012 - just imagine. Ryan Seacrest saying, “Mr. President, America has voted….and they are sending your happy arse packing back to Chicago so you will have lots of time to spend with all your local celebrity pals – Reverend White, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Governor Blago and Senator Burris, at least on visitors day. And by the way, Simon sends his greetings”

I am, “American by Birth and Southern by the Grace of God”
