Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 53: Who Really is on Our Fightin’ Side?

“Well, you don't have to call me Waylon Jennings

And you don't have to call me Charley Pride.

And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.

Even though your on my fightin' side.
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me

And I never minded standin' in the rain.

No, You don't have to call me darlin'...darlin'

You never even call me Well, I wonder why you don't call me

Why don't you ever call me by my … name”

“The Perfect Country Song” Song Writer, Steve Goodman, Artist, David Allan Coe

Our Prize Fighter-in-Chief came out of the corner swinging during his so called Jobs speech in Elyria, Ohio on Friday of the first week of the second year of the hopefully down for the count Obama Administration. During our Orator of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief’s remarks our punch drunk President proclaimed he’ll be fighting everything from Global Warming to alien invaders on behalf of We the People in what he claims, falsely we might add, has been his first priority since day one – jobs, jobs, jobs.

Pivoting, DCese for changing the subject, a new focus or passing the gravy, from Obamacare to jobs the “Hope/Change/Yes We Can Put 3.2 Million Poor Pilgrims Out of Work In Our First 52 Weeks In Office” gang is now desperate to be seen as our standard bearer fighting the money grubbing, job killing, scoundrels on Wall Street. Taking a page right out of Hillary’s overly focus grouped campaign book to create the illusion of having the common man’s back and fighting for everyone’s rights including playing the victim card; circling the globe ducking enemy sniper fire to your heart’s delight; and wearing a brand new butt ugly pants suit everyday our LA Gang Banger-in-Chief is ready to rumble.

During his Jobs/Fighting For Us diatribe our Propagandist-in-Chief used a derivative of the word fight no less than 20 times. Following is a summary of the issues we are so fortunate to have our Heavy Weight Champion-in-Chief fighting about on our behalf:

· “I'll never stop fighting for you”. By you he means ACORN; trial lawyers; unions; enviro-Nazis; the ACLU; every leftwing, radical, extremist, liberal organization known to man; captured Islamic Jihadist enemy combatants- mirandaized, tried in our criminal justice system assuring these cowardly prisoners of war the same rights and privileges afforded U.S. citizens. Can anybody say “Aid and Comfort” to the enemy?

· “...fighting to bring jobs back to Elyria”. Elyria, Ohio, the city graced with the presence of the Chosen One’s Jobs Propogandist address, is part of the Cleveland metropolitan area in Northeast Ohio. Ohioans as well as the good folk of Elyria have watched as hundreds of thousands fellow Buckeyes have been sent packing as unemployment soared to 10.9% since the Job Terminator-in-Chief took office. According to high placed reliable sources the President was overheard commenting to an aid while walking up the stairs to Air Force One, “Get me out of this jerk water town ASAP and back to civilization. Haven’t seen so many ignorant Yahoos all gathered together in one place since we stopped by to say hello to the VEEP at the Biden Family Reunion last year.

· “…fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded”. Sure, if you are a member of one of the groups listed in item 1 above. Everybody else’s’ hard work will be redistributed to criminal illegal aliens, the “Victim” class, and public defenders representing Islamic Jihadist terrorist.

· ”…fighting for an economy where responsibility is honored”. Responsibility as defined by the Obamanites is paying your ACLU, Socialist Party, Green Peace, and PETA dues on time.

· ”…fighting for an economy where accountability is upheld”. This from the same White House that sent “stimulus” checks to thousands of dead folks (Democrat voters) and incarcerated felons (another solid Democrat constituency).

· ,”…fighting for an economy where we're creating the jobs of tomorrow”. “Jobs for tomorrow” being a euphemism for Green jobs. For those that don’t want to build windmills, make recyclable under drawers, or work as Community Organizers how about some real jobs now.

· “…fighting for policies that will help restore home values, to redeem the investment that folks have made”. These efforts are specifically targeted at low income borrowers who were encouraged to bite off way more than they could chew and were accommodated by the good folks at Freddie May and Fannie Mac all with the enthusiastic support of then Senator Obama and all his Democrat Comrades in Congress. Social engineering that literally brought the economy to the brink.

· “I'll never stop fighting to give our kids the best education possible”. Our kids meaning his Kids. Our Enlightened Educator-in-Chief sends his yougn’s to one of the most exclusive, expensive, elitist private schools in the country.
· “I'll never stop fighting to give every American a fair shake”. With the exception, of course, of Republicans; conservatives; capitalist; Wall Street bankers; white cops in Cambridge; non union laborers; anti-Marxist/Socialist; Fox News; Poor, no count, white trash that cling to their guns, religion and pickup trucks.

· “I'll never stop fighting to protect you from the kind of deceptive practices we've seen from some in the financial sector”. Similar to the tactics the White House employed in their manic efforts to pass Obamacare – bribery, extortion, misinformation, backroom deals, and a fabricated crisis.

· “I'm fighting for a tough Consumer Financial Protection Agency”. “Financial reform has to include a consumer protection agency,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said last Wednesday. Even with strong opposition from Congressional Democrats the President is going to force feed another bloated, useless, Socialist initiative down our collective throats. Why don’t we put a little effort into improving one of the 50+ existing Government agencies that already have this responsibility before creating a new one?

· “I'll never stop fighting to open up government. That's why we put in place the toughest ethics laws and toughest transparency rules of any administration in history”. Bless his heart, the fact our Deceiver-in-Chief can stand right up just like he had good sense and publically make such audaciously false statement openly and without shame is cause for serious consternation. Actually, the words ethics and Obama Administration should never collide in the same sentence.

Typically, ethical people aren’t pathological liars, seldom break promises and don’t blame others for their shortcomings. They also tend to shy away from associations with domestic terrorist and refrain from hiring a group of tax cheats, pathological liars. and terrorist sympathizers to serve in some of the most important positions in the US Government. The only transparent aspect about Our Ethically Deficient Master Keeper of Secrets-in-Chief is his arrogance, hypocrisy, and disdain for the people he serves.

Behind closed door secret meetings, shady deals, strong arm tactics and a pay to play strategies is their idea of transparency. And don’t forget about Obama’s Secret Shadow Government of over 40 so called Czars. No public vetting process; no congressional oversight; secret budgets; a group consisting of 5 self described communist, 12 out of the closet self proclaimed Socialist, 18 tax cheats and 1 convicted shoplifter. Sprinkle in several Eco-Nazis and you got yourself the makings of a proletariat that would make the likes of Stalin, Castro, and Mao proud.

· “So long as I'm President, I'll never stop fighting to cut waste and abuse in Washington; to eliminate what we don't need - to pay for what we do; to rein in exploding deficits we've been accumulating for too long”. The fact that these words so easily roll off this man’s tongue is truly frightening. Especially when considering that according to the Office of Management and Budget from the day Mr. Obama took office last year to the end of the current fiscal year the national debt will increase by $3.3 trillion. In 20 months, Mr. Obama will add as much debt as W ran up in eight years. The Obama runaway spending plan approved by Congress last February calls for doubling the national debt in five years and tripling it in 10.

· “These are some of the fights we've had. And I can promise you, there will be more fights in the days ahead. We're having one of them right now - because I want to charge Wall Street a modest fee to repay taxpayers in full for saving their skin in a time of need. You can rest assured, we're going to get that money - your money - back, each and every dime”. Charging banks a fee on top of the principle amount borrowed and interest they have already paid back to Uncle Sammy is populace class warfare for political expediency at it’s very worse. Exempting the auto companies and Freddie and Fannie for no other reason to show favor to his comrades at the UAW and Democrat contributors confirms the blatant politics as usual behind the President's proposal.

So, is our Mohammad Ali-in-Chief on our fighten side? Not a snowball’s chance in hell.

This 53rd edition of Thoughts of Obama from Bama will be published before Our Socialist-in-Chief’s State of Union Address on Wednesday, the first day of Week 54 of the Obama Presidency train wreck. Rumor has it the President will make a head fake towards the middle in an effort to divert the County’s attention from his Marxist/Socialist agenda.

We certainly expect another masterful performance chock full of smoke and mirrors; misdirection; lies; deceit; empty promises; abundant use of the victim card; soaring rhetoric absent of any substance; and frequent blaming of others, W, for his abject failures. Should make for some riveting political theatre.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 52: Fifty-Two Weeks Down, “Only” One Hundred Fifty-Six Weeks to Go

"I, state your name, I, state your name, Barack Husain Obama, do solemnly affirm that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, Allah the Great, Allah the Benevolent…so help me God… "

Fifty-Two weeks; 1,825 lies (an average of 5 a day); 50 apologies on foreign soil for past US transgressions; dozens of broken campaign promises; $1,5 Trillion in annual deficits; a projected $10-12 Trillion in additional national debt; 1 Portuguese Water Dog; 18 presidential appointee tax cheats; 2 bows to foreign heads of state; 200 fabricated crisis; at least 125 seriously boneheaded decisions; and 365 (an average of 1 day) accusations blaming W. to cover his own incompetence ago Barack Obama was sworn in becoming the Country’s 44th President and first Socialist-in-Chief.

Standing right up just like he had good sense fifty-two short weeks ago the most ill prepared, inexperienced, Marxist/Socialist to ever ascend to the Presidency put his hand on the Koran… Holy Bible… and took the Oath of Office for the Presidency of these here United States of America.

Over the course of the last fifty-two weeks our so called Constitutional Scholar-in-Chief has failed miserably in adhering to his solemn Oath and in fact has pursued objectives totally contrary to his promise to“…preserve, protect, and defend…”. A review of events occurring during Week Fifty-Two alone reveals a number of examples of the arrogant; unethical; Socialist; corrupt; deceitful; fear mongering; elitist; anti-democratic and unconstitutional actions perpetrated by the “Hope, Yes We Can, Change” Administration.

Examples from Week 52 worthy of further scrutiny include:

1. The President’s Opportunistic Politics of Natural Disasters
2. Socialized Medicine
3. Class Warfare
4. Elitism

1. THE PRESIDENT’S OPPORTUNISTIC POLITICS OF NATURAL DISASTERS–

The earthquake in Haiti is a human tragedy of monumental proportions. Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with the millions of Haitians affected by this natural disaster.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama commends the President for his initial response and commitment of resources to this devastated third world country 700 miles south of Miami. $100 Million dollars, medical personnel, supplies and the US Military for distribution and security purposes are all appropriate forms of assistance from the world’s most wealthy and generous country.

Adhering to their operational maxim of “Never miss the opportunity to take advantage of a crisis” is where we depart with our support of the White House’s response to this catastrophe. Surrogates dutifully repeated the White House propagandist talking points on the Sunday talk shows and cable news programs repeating Our Savior of Haiti-in-Chief’s control of the situation and inspired leadership ad nauseaum.

Daily TV addresses; dispatching our Secretary of State Hillary, adorned in a butt ugly disaster relief pants suit and successfully ducking enemy sniper fire, for a made for TV appearance in Haiti (diverting badly needed resources from the rescue efforts); and thinly veiled comparisons to W’s Katrina debacle all smack of blatant political opportunism. This politicalization of what otherwise had been a commendable and appropriate response is both unfortunate and what we have come to expect from this hyper political/partisan White House.

Finally, it is interesting to note the assignment of blame several folks have proclaimed as the cause of this earthquake. Pat Robertson, TV preacher and founder of the 700 Club, blamed it on God’s wrath in response to the Haitian’s pact with the Devil who allegedly freed them from French rule. Danny Glover, actor and seriously disturbed Hollywood head case, claimed global warming was the culprit. Based on what, your guess is as good as ours. The President blamed W, when introducing him along with former President Clinton at the White House as Co-chairs of private sector earthquake fund raising efforts.

Truth be told, he didn’t actually say it, but you could tell by the look on his face he sure as hell was thinking it.

2. SOCIALIZED MEDICINE-

Universal, government run, Socialized medicine is on life support and it’s high time for somebody to pull the plug and mercifully put all of us out of our misery. Hopefully GOP Senatorial Candidate Scott Brown’s victory in the bastion of pointy headed liberalism, Massachusetts, will loosen Harry Reid and his Democrat Comrade’s in the Senate strangle hold on the legislative agenda.

Obamacare truly is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation ever considered by a US Congress. The bribery, extortion, and secrecy required to gain passage is unprecedented including the unconstitutional deal our Labor Boss-in-Chief made with his Union comrades earlier this week.

Exempting less than ten percent of the workforce, Union members, from a forty percent tax on “Cadillac” health insurance plans leaving the rest of us holding the bag to make up the difference amounts to nothing less than a blatant abuse of Presidential power. There is absolutely no legal, ethical or constitutional justification for this $60 Billion dollar bribe.

-

3.CLASS WARFARE –

– Our Financial Regulator-in-Chief took Wall Street to the proverbial woodshed this week accusing the so called fat cats of runaway greed, shadowy deals, excessive risk taking and cheating the American taxpayer (Not to be confused with the process employed to advance Obamacare). To punish these lowlife bottom dwellers and recover the hard earned tax dollars of the folks from Main Street the President is proposing a ten year tax on all the companies who took TARP loans.

However comforting it may seem to have the President looking out for our best interest when you dig a little deeper you’ll discover all the Wall Street banks but one have already paid Uncle Sammy back with interest. Curiously the five companies that still owe eighty percent of the TARP debt are exempt from the President’s proposed tax.

· Chrysler and GM – Certainly wouldn’t want to risk adversely impacting the President’s buds at the UAW Union
· AIG – Whose senior management coincidently just so happens to be tighter than a tick with the Obama economics team who have also contributed millions to Democrat and Obama campaign coffersFreddie May and Fannie Mac – Protected by powerful Congressional Patrons Barney”Freddie in the Fannie Mac” Frank, Charlie “Tax Cheat” Rangle and Chris “Quit and Take Your Ball and go Home” Dodd

4.ELITISM –

In a historical and stunning upset victory Republican Scott Brown defeated Democrat Martha Coakley and the corrupt Boston Democrat Political Machine in the election to fill Teddy Kennedy’s vacant Massachusetts Senate seat. Despite our Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief’s futile campaign efforts over the weekend Brown soundly defeated his opponent running on an anti-Obama/Socialized medicine/deficit spending/terrorist appeasement platform.

Stumping for Coakley on Sunday the President made some very ill advised,

derogatory, and condescending remarks about Brown’s campaign pickup truck. Fighten words in this part of the country and probably not received too kindly by the good working class folks of the Bay State either.

Reminiscent of candidate Obama’s comments about poor no count white trash working folks clinging to guns and religion these remarks reinforce our Elitist-in-Chief’s image as an arrogant out of touch politician. The same can certainly been said of his partners in crime Madam Speaker of the House Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid.

Senator Elect Brown’s historic victory on Tuesday in Massachusetts, the capital of progressive, liberal, Yankee, elitism, was a direct repudiation of the Obama Socialist Regime. The fact a Republican won the seat held for over forty years by the Democrat's martyred patron saint of healthcare, Teddy Kennedy, makes the victory all the more sweet.

It is only fitting conservatism triumphed over Liberal Socialism, freedom over intrusive Government, and American exceptionalism instead of appeasement and apology on the last day of the fifty-second week of the Obama Administration’s Marxist/Socialist experiment. Hopefully a sign of things to come for the next one hundred and fifty-six weeks.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 51: Part Two - The Fifty Most Alarming Calamities of the First Fifty Weeks of the Socialist Train Wreck Known as the Obama Administration

“Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap air far

I gotta to fly to saint somewhere

I’m close to bodily harm

This mornin’, I shot six holes in my freezer

I think I got cabin fever

Somebody sound the alarm “

“Boat Drinks” Jimmy Buffett

Our second installment of “The Fifty Most Alarming Calamities of the First Fifty Weeks of the Socialist Train Wreck Known as the Obama Administration” is chalk full of more lies; broken promises; bad decisions; false crisis; hypocrisy; runaway spending; intrusive government; and Marxist/Socialist policy initiatives inflicted upon “We the People” by the Yes We Can gang. Their relentless pursuit of these irresponsible and misguided actions has truly been astonishing.

Before the list, one issue from week 51 definitely screams for further attention. The revelation of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s at worst, racist, at best, dumber than a bag of hammers, 2008 remarks about candidate Obama has stirred up quite the ruckus.

Reid had the following to say about candidate Obama,"light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Our Sitting in the Pugh for 20 Years Listening to the Racist Reverend Jeremiah Wright-in-Chief, the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP, and all the pointy headed liberal boneheads in the main stream media immediately came to ole Harry’s, the champion of civil rights, defense. The hypocrisy in the air is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Just imagine if Sarah Palin, Carl Rowe, Dick Cheney and/or Rush Limbaugh had made similar comments. Reverend Al Sharpton would light his hair on fire and lead a march on the Capital, every civil rights leader in the country would want their head on a platter, and all of the anchors on NBC/MSNBC would spontaneously combust on live TV.

Just another example of the rampant hypocrisy and elitist attitudes so prevalent in this Administration. Speaking of which, following is the rest of our list of the most alarming Obama calamities:

1. The official Obama White House Christmas tree featured several controversial ornaments this year including an orb depicting communist Chinese dictator Mao who literally murdered millions during his reign of terror over China, another showing drag queen Hedda Lettuce, and one showing a picture of Mount Rushmore with Obama's head pasted to the side of Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt's. Truly makes one wonder if our Hanger of Weird Ornaments-in-Chief is a Commie loving, egomaniac, perv.
2. A silly amount of press was dedicated to the First Family’s selection of a First Pooch. Finally settling on a Portuguese Water dog, a gift from Ted Kennedy, they named Bolshevik, Bo for short. It’s said he loves to chug scotch, dive off bridges, and drown other dogs.
3. Bend over, grab his ankles, thank you Sir may I have another Foreign Policy prevails. Our Pucker up Buttercup-in-Chief bows to Saudi Royalty and the Emperor of Japan.
4. As thousands of Iranians hit the streets of Tehran to protest a stolen election the President of the country that stands as a beacon of freedom and democracy to the rest of the world remained as still and quiet as a bump on a log. Even the French spoke up in support before we did. Another prime example of “Bend over, grab his ankles, thank you sir may I have another diplomacy”.
5. Maybe in retaliation for their friendship and support of W and Iraq our Basher of W-in-Chief insults the one country we can always count on to be on our fighting side, our friends across the pond, the Brits. After receiving a priceless gift from Brit PM, a pen holder hand carved from wood salvaged from an anti-slave ship, the President gave Brit PM Brown 25 DVD’s, cancelled the customary joint press conference and failed to hold a state dinner to honor our esteemed guest. An excellent example of Barackassward foreign policy.
6. Hopes for improved relations with Russia started with the infamous “reset” button gifted by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The Clinton team misspelled the Russian word for “reset” on the button, using “peregruzka,” which means “overload,” The Russians gave Hillary a button in return stating “Reset this”.
7. With a total lack of honor and respect for the more than 100,000 American soldiers who died liberating Europe our Apologist-in-Chief attacked the “arrogance” of his own country on French soil. President Obama’s speech proceeding a NATO summit in Strasbourg, barely 500 miles from the beaches of Normandy, was sad, embarrassing, and possibly the most unpatriotic address ever given by a sitting President.
8. Our Islamic Sympathizer-in-Chief made a major outreach to his Muslim brothers during a speech in Egypt apologizing again on foreign soil for past US transgressions, The President made the bizarre and false claim Islam is one of the largest religions in US. At 1.5% of our population makes one wonder what his real agenda is.
9. Our In Dire Need of a Water boarding-in-Chief claims W’s advanced interrogation techniques, torture, was a dark chapter in our Nation’s history. Five CIA Directors and an overwhelming number of National Security experts claim these techniques saved 1,000’s of lives. Hopefully Ft Hood will serve as a wakeup call for this gang of naïve pacifist.
10. President Obama initially approved the release of photos showing alleged prisoner abuse in Iraq. You’d think a so called Constitutional Scholar would grasp the concept of providing aid and comfort to the enemy.
11. Homeland Security red flags conservative organizations and vets as high risk groups to be monitored for domestic terrorism. The same agency/Administration that refers to foreign/Islamic Jihadist terrorist attacks on the homeland as Man Made Disasters.
12. White House calls Tea Party protestors racist, teabagging, rednecks. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused these average, everyday Americans of being crazy, fanatical, swastika-wearing frauds. Nothing like our nation’s leaders promoting free speech and public dissent.
13. During an interview with Babs Walters our I Don’t Have a Lick of Leadership/Management Experience-in-Chief claimed governing came natural to him. It would seem so does lying like a cheap rug, breaking promises, and advancing a Marxist/Socialist agenda.
14. The Administration successfully implemented a Government takeover of the US Auto industry and proceeded to fire GM CEO, infiltrate their Boards, and give away the farm to their Union Comrades. The most powerful man in the free world, our Mr. Goodwrench-in-Chief, then guaranteed on national TV auto/service warranties would be honored. Is hawking used cars on the tube for $9,999 his next gig on TV?
15. Our Fast Eddy Used Car Salesman-in-Chief redistributed $1 Billion in wealth for Cash for Clunkers. The financial wizards at the White House budget ended up $2 billion short. If they miss Obamacare by the same percentage we the taxpaying public will be forking over an additional $5 Trillion.
16. Disregarding the time honored democratic hallmark of casting a vote by secret ballot our Union Boss-in-Chief supports a bill, Card Check, forcing open votes by labor at companies considering going Union. This is a tactic right out of the Communist Manifesto used by the likes of Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Castro and now Obama.
17. The genius PR Gurus at the White House conducted a photo shoot of a low flying plane, Air Force One, over NY enticing panic, forcing many to relive 9/11 and with no advanced warning issued. The White House denied any blame and initially refused to release the photos.
18. We now have salary/compensation Czar right here in the United States of America. The Government is dictating private sector salaries, in the United States of America. What’s next, government run Healthcare and auto industry? The proverbial slippery slope has gotten slicker than a greased pig.
19. The House Passed the Markey-Waxman “Cap-and-trade/tax” Energy Bill 219 -212. Possibly the most intrusive and potentially financially adverse legislation ever considered by Congress. Supported by the Administration this bill would have the following catastrophic effects: Reduce aggregated (GDP) by $9.6 trillion annually; Destroy 1,105,000 American jobs per year; Raise electricity rates 90 percent; Raise gasoline prices by 74 percent; Raise residential natural gas prices by 55 percent; Raise an average family's annual energy bill by $1,500 annually.
20. After admitting he didn’t have all the facts our Racist-in-Chief accused the Cambridge police of acting stupidly for arresting an African American Harvard Professor friend of his. He subsequently said he could have calibrated his words differently. A “Beer Summit” at the White House accomplished absolutely no results with the exception of VP Biden getting a great buzz on.
21. Our Nominator of Liberal Activist Racist Sexist Supreme Court Justices-in-Chief nominated Sonya Sotomayer to the highest court in the land. The good judged was fond of saying her sex and Latino heritage made her a better Judge than an old white guy. She, Scalia, and Roberts should get along famously.
22. As part of their Obamacare propaganda campaign our Big Brother-in-Chief asked American citizens to report their fellow citizens to the White House for pure political speech that is deemed ‘fishy’ or otherwise in opposition to the White House’s political interests. Can anybody say KGB, Secret Thought Police and/or welcome to the Fascist States of America?
23. Speaking of propaganda let’s not forget the White House’s mind control efforts with the country’s school children. A national address, recommended Study Guide with 100 ways to worship at the altar of Obama, songs and chants praising the Chosen One. “Two, four, six, eight, we want a Socialist Nanny State.”
24. In an unprecedented move the White House declared War on a national news network, Fox. They welcome Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il, and Castro with open arms but are scared silly of Bill O’Reilly and Brit Hume.
25. Bad press and hopefully an epiphany about how totally ridiculous this idea really was led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans to carry private health insurance to save $540 million in annual cost to the feds for treatment of injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal “Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn't compute." "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country,” Obama continued. "I wasn't asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."

Hail to the chief!

As week 52 and the first year of our Country’s first Socialist President comes to a close the only good news we’re able to report is the Crimson Tide’s thrashing of Texas in the BCS National Championship Game. Considering our list of the Fifty Most Alarming Obama Calamities the only bright spot in an otherwise train wreck of a year.

Week 50: Part One - The Fifty Most Alarming Calamities of the First Fifty Weeks of the Socialist Train Wreck Known as the Obama Administration

“This mornin’, I shot six holes in my freezer

I think I got cabin fever

Somebody sound the alarm “

“Boat Drinks” Jimmy Buffett

Looking back at our notes and research of the first fifty weeks of the Socialist nightmare of the Obama Presidency in an effort to identify the fifty most alarming calamities from the 100's, even 1,000’s of disasters in the making created by this crowd, soon had us thinking we had bitten off way more than we could ever chew if we actually wanted to complete this task. Deliberating over so many options was both challenging and disturbing when considering the extent of damage the “Change Gang” has inflicted on our great Nation in such a relatively short time.

Not wanting to overwhelm the reader with too much grief and constant sorrow at a single setting we have listed the first 25 items in this Column, Part 1, and will provide the remaining 25 in next week’s Column, Part 2. Please note issues ain’t exactly listed by any priority or necessarily chronologically but are to some reckoning grouped topically:

1. According to White House website the President has made over 600 public speeches and remarks. Our Celebrity-in-Chief got more air time than Regis, Ryan Seacrest, and the Sham Wow Dude combined.
2. The Administration’s response to the latest terrorist attack, an Islamic Jihadist from Nigeria trying to blow up a passenger plane over Detroit, it took3 hours to tell the vacationing President, who took 3 days to comment, claiming it was an isolated incident, and that the System worked. And liberals wonder how anyone could question the priority this group has established for this issue.
3. President awarded Nobel Peace Prize - for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. Those folks must be crazier than a run over dog.
4. H1N1 Vaccine over sold and under delivered. Late and insufficient amounts caused confusion, frustration and probably a few lives. A prelude to Obamacare? You bet your sweet arse.
5. Health Care Reform/Socialized Medicine approved by Senate at 7:00am vote Christmas Eve after billions in bribes, shady deals, and White House extortion tactics. Merry Christmas Y’all!
6. Of the eleven bills President Obama has signed, only six have been posted on Whitehouse.gov. None have been posted for a full five days after presentment from Congress. Another broken promise by Mr. Transparency-in-Chief.
7. When asked by good friend Oprah our Professor-in-Chief gave himself a B+ for his first year in office – This is your brain, this is your brain on drugs…
8. After his address to the environazies at the Global Warming Summit in Denmark Mr.Obama made an early departure on Air Force One to beat a blizzard back to DC.
9. The President outlined three principles for his Trillion dollar economic stimulus/wasteful spending package; It had to be timely-to date we have yet to spend half of the money; targeted- at unions, ACORN, and other supporters; temporary- they have already converted TARP into a Congressional slush fund.
10. 10,000 stimulus checks were issued to dead folks and 4,000 to convicts, all put on the voter registration list by the Chicago Chapter of ACORN.
11. According to the CBO Mr. Obama will add $3.2 trillion to the national debt, not including Obamacare, in his first 20 months in office, eclipsing the $2.9 trillion added during W’s entire eight years
12. Last fiscal year, the deficit was $459 billion. For this fiscal year, it was $569 billion when Mr. Obama took office. Under his proposals, another $1.276 trillion will be added to the deficit this year, for a total of $1.845 trillion.
13. The CBO says deficits will fall for three years to $658 billion, still nearly 50% larger than any past deficit. After that, deficits go back up every year, reaching the trillion-dollar a year mark again in nine years. By 2019, the debt would reach 82.4% of GDP, a level not seen since 1947.
14. House and senate pass blueprint of Obama 3.5 trillion dollar budget.
15. President signs 410 Billion 09 Budget. Discretionary spending 8% increase with 8,000 earmarks. He signs bill in private, in the dark of night behind closed doors. His promise to veto any bill with earmarks obviously just another example of lies told for political expedience.
16. CBO chief makes unprecedented trip to the White House for meeting with President. A subsequent reversal and favorable CBO report on Obamacare explained away as innocent coincidence. News flash for President and CBO- a lot of us were born at night, but not last night.
17. Weeks after a Muslim jihad gunned down more than 40 fellow citizens at Ft. Hood, Texas, Obama’s national security leadership still won’t admit that the attack had anything to do with Islam. The cowardly Islamic terrorist Hassan was born and raised a Muslim, yelled “Allah Akbar (“God is the greatest”) while shooting people, and sought Islamic fatwas from American-born Yemeni al-Qa’eda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki (who’d been his imam at the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia). This low life will be prosecuted in our Criminal Justice System receiving all the rights and privileges usually reserved for us tax payers, compliments of our Appeaser of Terrorist-in-Chief
18. US Attorney General and Political Hack of the First Order, Eric Holder, announced 9/11 and Gitmo terrorist will be tried in Federal Court in New York City. Included in this group of Islamic mad men is Khalid Sheikh Mohammad who admitted to interrogators that he thought up the 9/11 attacks; 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. All of these Islamic enemy combatants will also be prosecuted in our Criminal Justice System receiving all the rights and privileges usually reserved for us tax payers compliments, once again, of our Appeaser of Terrorist-in-Chief.
19. President Obama and AG Political Hack Holder publically assured us of convictions. You would hope two Ivy League Law School Grads and our Country’s top two Law Enforcement Officers would know better than possibly tainting the jury pool and showing total disregard for the presumption of innocence, both potential grounds for a mistrial. Innocent mistake or more nefarious intentions?
20. President advocates talking to more moderate members of Taliban in an effort to buy them off. VP Biden claims only 5% are extremist. Thoughts of Obama from Bama suggest our silver tongued VP take on this responsibility personally and that he should have our ducker from enemy sniper fire Secretary of State join him on his trip.
21. Miranda rights are now being read to prisoners in Afghanistan. One hell of a way to run a war.
22. Our Commander-in-Chief disdains military victory. On July 29, 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 inspirational leadership is certain to boost troop morale. FYI – Hirohito never surrendered to MacArthur, our Intellectual Genius-in-Chief must have skipped class to snort coke the day they covered WW2 history.
23. Our Sound the Retreater-in-Chief raised the white flag of surrender on the War on Terror down grading “enemy combatant” as a basis to imprison suspected terrorist to Detainees; Man Made Disasters for domestic incidents; and the War on Terror is out and Overseas Contingency Operation is our new Call to Arms. Thinking our enemy might call off the dogs because we have softened our terms of conflict is absurd.
It’s also insulting to our armed services combatants and their families. Just imagine - “Dear Mrs. Jones, I regret to inform you that your son died valiantly as an active member of our Overseas Contingency Operation. You can be comforted knowing your son was not killed in a war on terror but….”
24. Our Prison Warden-in-Chief promised to shut down Gitmo claiming it didn’t work, it’s illegal, and embarrassing internationally. More empty rhetoric from a man who obviously doesn’t have a clue how to prosecute the War on Terror
25. Our Ditherer-in-Chief spent over three months agonizing over a new Afghanistan policy. Ultimately he committed more troops and in the same breath established an 18 month date for withdrawal. Showing weakness to our adversaries and confusion to our allies is a consistent theme with this President.

This concludes Part 1 of our First Fifty Week review of our Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric and Pucker Up Butter Cup-in-Chief’s truly alarming and disconcerting performance to date as the leader of the free world. Our remaining 25 most alarming calamities perpetrated by the Change We Can Believe In crowd will be revealed in next week’s column, “Week 51: Part Two - The Fifty Most Alarming Calamities of the First Fifty Weeks of the Socialist Train Wreck Known as the Obama Administration”
