Thoughts of Obama from Bama
Week Thirty: Smash Mouth Politics
Pete Venkman (Bill Murray): “The Mayor! He's a friend of mine. Lenny”!
Hardemeyer (Mayor’s Assistant): “Can I help you?”
Venkman: “Yeah, you can get your hand off my chest.”
Hardemeyer: “I'm Jack Hardemeyer. I'm the mayor's assistant. What can I do for you? Look, you stay away from the mayor. Next fall, barring a disaster, he's going to be elected governor of this state and the last thing we need is for him to be associated with two-bit frauds and publicity hounds like you and your friends. You read me?”
Venkman: “Wait a minute, I’m a voter, aren’t you suppose to kiss my ass and lie to me or something?” Ghost Busters II
President Obama, his comrades in Congress and socialist political allies around the country including his friends in the treasonous adoring media elite press have gone on the offensive and viciously attacked a highly unlikely demographic group and constituency, “We the People”. The “Yes We Can” and “Change We Can Believe In” crowd is losing the national debate on their flagship Socialist public policy initiative, Government Controlled/Socialized Medicine, and have fallen into full panic mode of operation and initiated an unprecedented political attack on the American people.
Dealing from a position of weakness for the first time as support for the Presidents Healthcare Reform proposals have plummeted in public opinion polls President Obama has directed his chief political hacks, White House Chief of Staff Rahm “The Enforcer” Emanuel and Senior Political Advisor David “Mr. Happy” Axelrod to leave no arm untwisted; no legs unbroken; no Associations unextorted; no wavering “blue dog” democratic congressperson unblackmailed; no healthcare executive unbribed; no attention paid to warnings of financial disaster and exploding deficits from the CBO and Obama supporter and advisor, the Orator from Omaha hisself, Warren Buffett; and no attention given to warnings of fins to the right, fins to the left, tidal waves out on the sea and lost shakers of salt from singer/songwriter/poet from Key West, Jimmy Buffett.
Going to the mattresses in an effort to save his dream of taking control of another major sector of the US economy, the President has directed his mostly bought off constituents and actual true believers who still worship at the “Alter of Obama” supporters to play the race card with reckless abandon with total disregard for the truth, a typical liberal political tactic; incite the so called victim class to make totally unfounded charges of unfair treatment; unleash the thugs from ACORN and the Unions to enforce strong arm tactics at Town hall meetings and other political functions; Order admirers and fellow conspirators in his adoring press corps the likes of Chris “shivers up my leg” Mathews”, Katie “he’s our generation’s Thomas Jefferson” Kuric and Keith “I have a man crush on the Dude” Olberman; and most frightening of all, send Barney “Freddie in the Fannie Mac” Frank on a support ObamaCare tour to all the truly strange and bizarre fringe leftwing groups in this country that always seem to welcome Congressman Frank with open arms.
Thoughts of Obama from Bama is unaware of any previous sitting President or candidate who has ever used an “attack the folks” strategy when seeking office or in support of a policy initiative. To our credit, Americans don’t usually take a shinning to name calling, strong-arm, political guerilla tactics that are so prevalent in Central and South American Banana Republics ruled by Obama political soul mates and comrades Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega and Fidel Castro.
Americans have historically responded much more favorably to positive messages. We are by nature an optimistic country, with a healthy skepticism of Government, but hopeful just the same. Some of our greatest leaders have inspired us to take action, to rally around an issue or idea and passionately support a political philosophy with powerful, persuasive, and eloquent rhetoric and messages of hope and promise. “Yes We Can” and “Change We Can Believe In” are two very recent examples (regardless as hollow as they ring now) of an effective positive political message.
Positive, memorable, inspirational, political messages historically used in this country to advocate a policy initiative or candidate include:
· George Washington: "Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth."
· Thomas Jefferson: "That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves."
· Abe Lincoln: "Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?"
· Teddy Roosevelt: “Speak softly and carry a big stick."
· FDR: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
· Herbert Hoover: “A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage”
· James Cox: “Cox and Cocktails (Harding's opponent James Cox was opposed to Prohibition).”
· JFK “The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is experimental, an inventor and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly."
· Ronald Reagan:
· Ronald Reagan: “America is too great for small dreams”
· Bush 1: "If anyone tells you that America's best days are behind her, they're looking the wrong way”
· W: “Leave no child behind”
Great examples of uplifting, positive, inspirational, political speech effectively used by many of our current President’s predecessors. “Cox for Cocktails”, definitely the kind of man we need more of in office today. In comparison, our current Commander-in-Chief has recently had this to say about and too his fellow Americans who oppose his Socialized Medicine and other Fascist Reforms:
· He doesn’t want to hear from the folks who he credits with “creating the mess” in health care – GOP and the Health Insurance industry
· Anyone opposed to his reforms is in favor of the status quo and don’t care that thousands are dying
· All opposed are either uninformed or supported by GOP or Health Insurance
· Protestors are nothing but organized mobs
· Dissent nothing but GOP talking points
· Protestors are paid political operatives
His comrades in Congress, with his blessings, have been more expressive:
· Un-American
· Brown shirted Swastika carrying thugs
· A well-dressed and well-rehearsed mob.
· Astroturf, as opposed to home grown, now them is surely fighten words!
A lot of this sounds like “déjà vu all over again”. We all remember candidate Obama’s comments about the good people of Pennsylvania during the campaign: "And it's not surprising then that 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.”
Our President’s disdain, contempt and hubris towards “We the People” are unprecedented, elitist and dangerous. As for Thoughts of Obama from Bama, instead of all the name calling and false accusations, we agree with the amiable Dr. Venkman’s political philosophy: “ Barack, I’m a voter, aren’t you suppose to kiss my ass and lie to me or something?”
I am, “American by Birth and Southern by the Grace of God”
