Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week Twenty-Three: Broken Arms, Broken Legs & Broken Promises

We come on the Sloop John B. My grandfather and me

Around Nassau Town we did roam. Drinking all night, got into a fight.

Well, I feel so broke up, I want to go home

Thoughts of Obama from Bama would typically avoid promoting wild eyed, paranoid, Oliver Stonian like conspiracy theories but recent events involving Secretary of State Clinton and Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor demand further scrutiny and investigation of the subject. Is it just coincidental that both ladies have recently been victims of freak accidents causing great physical harm , Clinton’s broken arm and Sotomayer’s leg, while embroiled in momentous political battles on behalf of our 44th President or is something much more nefarious afoot in our nation’s capital?

Madame Secretary Hillary “Rambo Dodging Sniper Fire” Clinton is certainly no stranger to conspiracy theories. During her hubby’s tumultuous Presidency First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton indignantly blamed all of the First Couple’s personal, legal and political problems on a mystical vast rightwing conspiracy.

False accusations about infidelity, perjury and financial malfeasance by this vast rightwing conspiracy, which actually all turned out to be true, along with President Clinton’s ultimate public acknowledgment of frequent extracurricular dalliances, elevated the First Lady’s status from a sneaky, conniving, pathological liar to America’s number one victim. A designation she artfully parlayed into a New York Senate seat, one time front runner for the Democrat presidential nomination and Secretary of State.

Is the Secretary of State’s alleged injury, a broken elbow after slipping while walking to her car in the (restricted, no press, no public access) basement of the State Department, a random accident or part of President Obama’s master strategy, or dare we say conspiracy, to deceive and confuse the American people? Is the Administration exploiting Ms. Clinton’s vaulted victim status to gain support and sympathy for their “Blame America First”, apology, and appeasement foreign policy initiatives? Is all this a diversion to cover up Mr. Obama’s weak and even cowardly position towards North Korea and Iran?

Our Commander-in-Chief’s neutrality in word and deed during the first ten days of brave young Iranians swarming the streets of Tehran to protest an obviously seriously flawed election was truly appalling. Not immediately rescinding an open invitation to Iranian diplomats worldwide to 4th of July hotdog cookouts, the first diplomatic overture by the US to Iran in 30 years, at all US Embassies abroad while innocent protesters were slaughtered right before our eyes on national TV was equally disconcerting.

His damn the torpedoes, come hell or high water attitude of leaving the door open to direct discussions with the criminal Iranian Government is dangerous, embarrassing and reminiscent of pacifist head case Jimmy “Peanut” Carter’s failed foreign policy. Ms. Clinton could show up in a full body cast painted florescent pink and claim she was hit by a train hauling purple unicorns and still not detract attention from the President’s disgraceful failure to support freedom and combat tyranny, despotism, and religious fanaticism as so ruthlessly demonstrated by his Muslim brothers in Iran.

President Obama’s recent designation of Sonia Sotomayer as his Supreme Court Justice nominee is the second element of our conspiracy theory. As expected, Judge Sotomayer has an impeccable liberal, leftwing, ACLU loving, radical, extremist pedigree and credentials. What wasn’t expected, or most likely not intended for public consumption, was the good Judge’s racist and sexist beliefs which she proudly, openly and without shame admits influence her judicial deliberations.

Further investigations also revealed Judge Sotomayer as the poster child for Affirmative Action. Her admittance to both Princeton for undergraduate and Yale Law School were based as much on quotas and ethnic diversity goals as merit. This might help explain her dismal record with the Supreme Court who has overturned her rulings on 4 out 5 cases brought before the highest Court in the land for consideration.

Right smack dab In the middle of the media firestorm created by all this controversy guess who limps up with a broken leg, Judge Sonia, Affirmative Action Queen, Sotomayor herself. Claiming to have tripped while rushing to catch a plane at one of the busiest airports in the world, LaGuardia in New York, not one member of the press or an innocent bystander with a cell phone or disposable camera captured this “Freak Accident” for posterity. With a brand new makeover and cast the judge made the rounds on Capitol Hill later that same day with a new aura of victimization and sympathy unattainable before her alleged nasty spill at the airport.

Another random accident or a carefully planned and thoroughly considered tactic of President Obama’s conspiracy to hoodwink “We the People”? In the words of Fox News – “We Report, You Decide”

Further confirmation or the ultimate demise of our conspiracy theory will probably occur during consideration of the Energy Reform/Climate Control/Cap & Tax (Trade) and Healthcare Reform Bills currently being deliberated in Congress. To fund these absolutely unprecedented massive new government programs the President seems to be more than willing to break his most frequently proclaimed and passionately expressed campaign promise not to raise taxes by one single dime on the middle class or on anyone making under $250 thousand a year.

Obviously Socialized government controlled healthcare and a nationalized energy industry takes precedent over truth, integrity and maintaining the trust with the folks that pay for his kids swing set, date nights with the wife, golf every weekend and the smokes he sneaks everyday out in the Rose Garden.

Cap & Tax (Trade), the Presidents so called Energy Reform Bill, passed by a narrow 7 vote margin in the House of Representatives last week. If approved by the Senate, this bill will be the largest tax increase ever imposed on the free people of this great nation. It will also impose an unprecedented level of government control, rules, and regulations affecting our daily lives in ways that will surely have our founders spinning in their graves.

What, how much and where we drive will all be regulated. The thermostat in our homes, amount of hot water we shower with and building materials used to build and repair our homes will be dictated by Uncle Sammy. Every carbon emitted by us, our families, our possessions, pets, relatives, ancestors and even future draft choices will be taxed, regulated, and recycled so they can tax and regulate them again.

Immediately prior to publishing this post news came across the wires of Congressman Henry Waxman’s, a Co-Sponsor of this bill, hospitalization. Another coincidence or one more example of Mr. Obama’s vast leftwing conspiracy dedicated to diverting attention from his actual agenda?

With all due respect to Congressman Waxman, whom we certainly wish well, a diversion of mammoth proportions will most likely be required to slip this one by the voting public. Something more along the lines of Mr. “Inconvenient Lies” hiself, Al Gore, dousing himself in $75 barrel of OPEC crude oil, lighting himself on fire and running completely nekkid around the corporate headquarters Shell, BP and Halliburton would probably do the trick.

President Obama’s hard sell for a government controlled, single payer, socialist healthcare system is currently in full throttle. We are already experiencing the full effect of the White House spin machine with primetime press conferences; exclusives with the big 3 networks and other allies in the leftwing, liberal, media elite press; well rehearsed, closely scripted, town hall meetings out amongst our fellow “average Joe, independent, open minded, unbiased” citizens.

A diversion of truly audacious and outrageous proportions, a spectacle assured to grab our full and undivided attention, an act far more distracting than a senior member of the Administration or congressperson pulling up lame or hospitalized will be required to successfully pull off this most devious and scurrilous of scams.

A small war (potentially extremely effective but seriously doubtful with this bunch of doves), the threat of an untreatable and incurable pandemic and/or the Cubs winning the World Series are all much more likely and viable diversion options Obama’s Left Wing Conspirators may pursue in their efforts to nationalize the country’s Healthcare System.

Hillary’s broken arm, Judge Sonia’s broken leg and Barack’s broken promises are metaphorically symbolic of the dismal prognosis for our nation’s fiscal and cultural health. The first major course of treatment will occur in 2010 with the midterm elections when we get the opportunity to shake things up in Congress and Governor’s mansions around the country. The cure comes in 2012 when the country performs a collective Obamaectomy - guaranteed to cure what ails you.
