Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 62: “This is a Big ‘F…ing’ Deal”

So barmaid bring a pitcher Another round of brew
Honey why don't we get drunk and screw
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought A waterbed It's filled up for me and you
They said you are a snub queen
Honey I don't think that's true
So why don't we get drunk and screw

WARNING: THIS COLUMN CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL. THINLY VIELED PROFANITY, GRATUATES SEXUAL INUENDO AND MULTIPLE REFERENCES TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.

Sure enough would seem our Companion of Low Life Bottom Dwellers-in-Chief is drawn to foul mouthed Marxist/Socialist thought leaders and political hacks with the same enthusiasm of Rosie O’Donnell seeking a chocolate covered cream
filled Krispy Kream and white on rice.

Examples of these associations abound including:

1. His racist religious mentor and pastor of twenty years the always effervescing Reverend Jeremiah Wright GD’ing America
2. White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, who’s typical morning greeting to fellow colleagues and subordinates is said to go something like, “How the f… are you, you f…ing bunch of f…ing retards?”(according to the AP Mr. Emanuel used the R word when brow beating Democrats opposed to Obamacare)
3. Political soul mate and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers who once infamously said, “next time bring more f…ing dynamite” when attempting to blow up the Pentagon back in his Weatherman Underground days
4. Madam Secretary of State Hillary ‘Sarge’ Clinton who is known to drop more F bombs before lunch than heard in a Soprano’s marathon on HBO
5. And of course VP Uncle Joe Biden’s recent public and inappropriate application of the F word while introducing his boss at a late night Socialized Medicine Propaganda Rally in the East Room of the white House.

Truly a remarkable public political moment, our “Foot in Mouth”, “Gaffe Machine”, “Admitted plagiarizer of other’s words for scholarly, political and financial gain” Veep Bidden showed his true colors once again.

Wrapping up his introduction of his Socialist Mentor-in-Chief by placing his hands on the Anointed One’s pathetically narrow shoulders; standing straight on up just like he had good sense; proclaiming loudly, openly and without shame well within range of the dozens of microphones planted on the podium; demonstrating a profound disrespect for the tens of millions around the world who had the misfortune of witnessing the Vice President of these here United States of America make a complete jackass of himself stating loud and clear:

“Mr. President, this is a F…ing big deal”

What a class act. Only a Connecticut Yankee lawyer would conduct himself in such an ungentlemanly and scurrilous fashion.

To make matters worse our Enabler of Profanity Spewing Political Hacks-in-Chief not only didn’t apologize and/or admonish his number two he reportedly said it was the most accurate comment about the passage of his Socialized Medicine Bill he’d heard in weeks. Another highly placed source reported Mr. Obama was actually extremely upset they didn’t have time to print up T shirts in time for the following day’s staff meeting.

Another stark example of just how tacky Yankees can truly be. That being said reckon we really shouldn’t expect much from folks who think it’s stylish to adorn themselves in tank tops, shaved butt ugly Bermuda shorts, knee length black dress socks, and open toe sandals while vacationing at the beach.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama certainly hopes our critical viewpoint of the White House’s frequent use and encouragement of profanity doesn’t come across as too sanctimonious or self righteous. Any of you who have spent more than five minutes with your humble author have more than likely been subjected to an earful of profanity rivaling the barking cadence of a Marine Drill Sergeant.

Even worse, anyone who ever personally witnessed your humble scribe’s golf swing, best described as poetry in motion, a combination of Sir Charles’ triple clutcher and the unfolding of a cheap lawn chair and typically followed by curswords strung together with an oratory eloquence seldom achieved with the English language.

Point being, there is a time and place for everything. Most of us Southerners were schooled by our Mamas at an early age to respect our elders; say yes mam and sir when speaking to adults; and to watch our language in mixed company (for purposes of this column guys and gals, not Alabama and Auburn fans).

Uncle Joe and his fellow political hacks in the White House would be well served to heed this advice.

It’s hard to fathom previous American leaders publicly displaying such breeches in decorum at historical events of similar consequence. For example just imagine:

· “Give me liberty or give me f…ing death”, Patrick Henry
· “The f…ing British are coming…”, Paul Revere”
· “The f…ing buck stops here”, Harry Truman
· “A day that will live in f…ing infamy”, “the only thing we have to f…ing fear is f…ing fear itself”, FDR
· “Read my lips, no f…ing new taxes”, George H. W. Bush
· “Mr. Gorbachev tear down this f…ing wall”, Ronald Reagan
· “F…ing Fore!” Gerald Ford
· “Four score and seven f…ing years ago” Abraham Lincoln
· “I did not have sexual relations with that f…ing woman, Ms. Lewinski, Ms. Jones, Ms. Flowers, Ms. Reno, Mrs. Clinton…”
· “Where did all these f…ing Indians come from?” General George Armstrong Custard

With the exception of the last two it’s hard to imagine any of these other historical figures demeaning their country, office, or themselves by uttering such profanities in the public arena and joking about it afterwards. Mr. President and Uncle Joe, your lack of decorum, no class vulgarity is a f…ing big deal and one more nail in your Administration’s political coffin.

Week 61: Our Socialist-in-Chief Finally Closes the Deal

“The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity. The main vice of socialism is the even distribution of misery” Sir Winston Churchill

After over fifty major public speeches (pep rallies, teleprompter paloozas, propaganda fest) over the last 61 Weeks and 90 meetings and phone calls during the proceeding 7 to 10 days our Marxist Leninist-in-Chief finally got his Socialized/Universal/Government controlled Healthcare Bill passed in the US Politburo, um, Congress.

There is an outside chance the Senate could kill or at least de-fang this hostile takeover of seventeen percent of our economy but prospects for success are slim to none at best.

Offering wavering Democrats everything from “Monica Lewinski Special” tours of the Oval office; cushy government jobs; Seats on the Boards of ACORN and the ACLU; ambassadorships to third world Socialist Banana Republics; Caribbean vacations hosted by NY Congressman and tax cheat Charlie Rangel; dead fish from Presidential “Consigliore” Rahm Emanuel; to every form of blackmail; extortion; bribery; and tyrannical strong arm tactics known to man this legislative train wreck finally passed the people’s House with a vote of 219-212.

Passing by a margin thinner than a frog’s hair without even one GOP vote. Unprecedented partisanship for a piece of legislation with such far reaching social and economic implications.

With some estimates ranging from $3-5 Trillion, compared to the totally bogus/cooked/intentionally misleading/just down right dishonest $1 Trillion projection over the next ten years of the Obamaites, this bill is beyond the shadow of any doubt the most expensive unfunded entitlement not only in US history but in the history of the civilized world. Truly a red letter day, with one big ass capital R, for the likes of Comrades Marx; Lenin; Stalin; Mao; Reid; Pelosi; and Barack H. Obama.

Before Sunday’s farce of a final vote on this humongous unconstitutional so called legislation the Administration’s closing strategy took a few interesting and unexpected twist and turns. An exclusive interview on the same news network they publicly declared war on a couple of months ago, FOX, certainly seemed to confirm our Silver Tongue Devil-in-Chief’s anxiety and consternation over the Bill’s ultimate fate.

Agreeing to a face to face sit-down with Fox’s relatively young and inexperienced Special Report anchor, Bret Baier, the White House was obviously confidant they could take advantage of the mild mannered newscaster and get their Healthcare propaganda out unfiltered to FOX’s large target market of Independents, moderate Dems and Republicans.

In a very impressive, professional and respectful manner young Mr. Bair not only held his own with the leader of the free world he held our Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief’s feet to the fire not tolerating his endless filibustering and diatribes of misleading and untrue remarks.

Following are excerpts from their conversation revealing our Epitome of Arrogance-in-Chief’s unwavering Marxist/Socialist core values:

BRET BAIER: Mr. President, thank you for the time.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Thank you for having me, Bret. You dimwitted Neanderthal FOX News Yahoo.
BAIER: You have said at least four times in the past two weeks: "the United States Congress owes the American people a final up or down vote on health care." So do you support the use of this Slaughter rule? The deem and pass rule, so that Democrats avoid a straight up or down vote on the Senate bill?
OBAMA: Rule number three in the Communist Manifesto states the ends always justifies the means. So Washington gets very concerned about these procedural issues in Congress. This is always an issue that's — whether Republicans are in charge or Democrats in charge — when Republicans are in charge, Democrats constantly complain that the majority was not giving them an opportunity, et cetera.
What the American people care about is the fact that their premiums are going up 25, 40, 60 percent, and I'm going to do something about it.
BAIER: Mr. President, you name one actual person who’s premium has increased 60% and I’ll bite the head off of a live chicken, openly and without shame, buck nekked on a live TV episode of the View.
That being said, regular people from all over the country keep asking "If the bill is so good for all of us, why all the intimidation, arm twisting, seedy deals, and parliamentary trickery necessary to pass a bill, when you have an overwhelming majority in both houses and the presidency?" And "If the health care bill is so wonderful, why do you have to bribe Congress to pass it?"
OBAMA: Because the Bill is a budget busting, deficit exploding, big government power grab of unprecedented proportions. Truth be told, I’m suprized so many ignorant white trash crackers out there in the Netherlands have actually figured this out.
BAIER: Do you know which special deals are still in the bill, as of today?
OBAMA: Each and every one of them that’s necessary to bribe my fellow Democrat comrades and dozens more that you right wing rednecks at the “Fair and Unbalanced” network will never hear about.
BAIER: Connecticut, Montana, Florida, Vermont, Nebraska — there are a lot of deals in here, Mr. Barker of the Price is Right fame, I mean Mr. President, that people have issues about.
OBAMA: What people? The same illiterate hillbillies that cling to their guns and religion who never have and never will have a clue what’s really good for them. Without my benevolent leadership and charitable nature these ignorant trailer trash would have become starving pilgrims months ago.
BAIER: Couple more process things, quickly. You said a few times as Senator Obama that if a president has to eke out a victory of 50 plus one, that on something as important as health care, "you can't govern." But now you're embracing a 50 plus one reconciliation process in the Senate, so do you feel like you can govern after this?
OBAMA: Well, Bret, the — I think what we've seen during the course of this year is that we have come up with a bill that basically tracks the recommendations of Tom Daschle, former Democratic senator and leader, but also Bob Dole, former Republican leader, Howard Baker, former Republican leader.
The ideas embodied in this legislation are not left, they're not right, they are — they are — pure D unadulterated Socialism that you and an overwhelming majority of your conservative racist friends wouldn’t recognize if it crawled up behind you and took a big ole bite out of your big fat ignorant arse.
BAIER: The CBO has said specifically that the $500 billion that you say that you're going to save from Medicare is not being spent in Medicare. That this bill spends it elsewhere outside of Medicare. So you can't have both.
OBAMA: Right.
BAIER: You either spend it on expenditures or you make Medicare more solvent. So which is it?
OBAMA: Neither and both, whichever lie works best on our trusting and unsuspecting victim class constituency.
BAIER: Your chief actuary for Medicare said this, that cuts in Medicare: "cannot be simultaneously used to finance other federal outlays and extend the trust fund." That's your guy.
OBAMA: That guy of our’s is just gonna have to get a little more creative in his way of reckoning or I might just be so compelled to have Emanuel pay them a little visit in the Men’s shower.
BAIER: Mr. President, I'm getting the wrap it up signal, and I don't want to interrupt you, but to finish up, do you think this is going to pass?
OBAMA: So quit interrupting for Allah’s sake. Of course it’s gonna pass you Capitalist dog. We spent billions on bribes and have dozens more by their family jewels, which in my brief and corrupt political career, always serves as a powerfully strong incentive to get their hearts and minds to follow.
BAIER: I apologize again for all the interruptions sir. Hopefully next time you might actually answer a few questions honestly and the repeated rebukes won’t be necessary.
BAIER: Thank you very much for your time Mr. President. If you will excuse me I seem to be experiencing an overwhelming compulsion to take a long hot shower and it ain’t even Saturday night.
OBAMA: Thank you very much. I appreciate it.. Allah the Great, Allah the Benevolent, Worship at the Altar of Obama.

Almost in direct unison with our Signer of Unconstitutional Legislation-in-Chief’s placing of his John Hancock on this illegal bill thirteen State Attorneys General filed suit against Uncle Sammy claiming the Feds don’t have the legal authority to force citizens and businesses to purchase goods and/or services (Health Insurance) per the 10th Amendment of the Constitution.

Considering then Senator Obama’s fierce and vocal opposition to Robert’s and Allitto’s nominations to the Supreme Court, two of the most qualified jurist to be presented to the Senate for Advice and Consent in years, strictly on ideology terms probably didn’t exactly sit too well with now Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justice Allito. The President’s recent public rebukes of several Court rulings probably haven’t further endeared him to the moderate/conservative wing of the Court either.

Rumor has it Roberts, Allito, Scalia and Thomas are all sporting “Kill the Bill” T-Shirts under their black robes. Our alleged Constitutional Scholar and Socialist-in-Chief’s landmark Socialized Medicine legislation ruled unconstitutional and thereby illegal by our Nation’s highest Court would be a fitting end to Comrade Obama’s Marxist/Socialist/Utopian/Bolshevik dreams of Universal Healthcare.

We only hope they get the opportunity to literally close the deal.

Week 60: Polar Opposites

-

"Yeah, I like 'em sweet. I like 'em with a heart of gold

Hey I like 'em brassy. I like 'em brazen and bold.

They say opposites attract, but I don't agree

I need a woman as tacky as me

Hey I like my women just a tad on the trashy side”

"Trashy Women" As recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker - Words & Music By Chris Wall

-

According to John Edwards there are two Americas. The former Democrat Presidential and Veep candidate; recipient of the $1,000 haircut; the serial cheater Tiger wanna be who stepped out on his terminally ill wife; a man who had an affair with a no count white trash harlot; who fathered a baby with said harlot who just posed in her under drawers with said baby in a GQ expose; who repeated this two Americas theory ad nauseam during the 2008 campaign.

-

Edwards, the epitome of a bottom dwelling plaintiff’s attorney (ambulance chaser) championed the notion America consist of two kinds of folks – the haves and have not’s or the rich vs. the poor. Thoughts of Obama from Bama happens to agree that there are two Americas but we part ways with scumbag Edwards about exactly who makes up each group.

-

On the left hand, led by our Marxist/Socialist-in-Chief Barack Husain Obama, we have one America – the pointy headed secular progressives; liberal; leftwing radicals; elitist; big government; high tax; over regulating; advocates of a communal utopian society who all have one overriding trait in common. At some point in time in their life, somebody snuck up behind each and everyone one them, stuck a straw in their ear, and sucked out half their brain.

-

Looking at the “Polar Opposite” end of the spectrum is the other group of Americans made up of hard working, freedom loving, independent, entrepreneurial, mostly God fearing folk who basically do all the heavy lifting in this country. For purposes of this Column we will refer to the former as “Victims” and the latter “Patriots”.

-

These two extremely distinctive Americas have perspective’s and viewpoint’s that truly appear to originate from sources so diametrically opposed they are not only “Polar Opposites” they seemingly speak a different language and have totally different value and belief systems. Following is a representative list of examples of the stark differences in the way of reckoning advocated by these two Americas:

-

Democray:

Victims – Too much control in the hands of the folks and far too little with the Government.

Patriots – An ideal and governance structure worth dying and fighting for.

-

Freedom:

Victims – An ideal that needs suppression and government control.

Patriots – A gift from God all people have a natural right too.

-

Liberty:

Victims – An ideal that needs suppression and government control.

Patriots – A gift from God all people have a natural right too.

-

Socialism:

Victims – A step in the right direction.

Patriots – A vile, upside down political philosophy and governance structure.

-

Communism:

Victims – The mother load of governance structures, heaven on earth, Utopia

Patriots – A despicable, oppressive, failed political philosophy that needs to be nuked and put out of its misery·

-

Foreign Policy:

Victims- Blame America first, appeasement, pacifist, bend over and grab your ankles, thank you sir may I have another, pucker up butter cup diplomacy.

Patriots – Walk softly, carry a big stick and womp the hell out of anyone who we don’t see eye to eye with.

-

War on Terror:

Victims- Overseas Contingency Operation and Man Made Disaster.

Patriots – A good time for kicking some serious Islamic Jihadist ass.

-

Taxes:

Victims – Free ride and a paycheck.

Patriots – Legalized extortion and theft.

-

Government:

Victims – Sugar Daddy

Patriots – A bottomless money pit corrupted by power, other people’s money and elitist illusions of grandeur.

-

In addition to the “sneak-straw-ear-suck-half brain” idea another possibility that might also explain the “Polar Opposite” and Two Americas phenomena is the “Men Are From Mars and Woman Are From Venus” theory. A concept that suggest the Victims and Patriots are literally different species from separate planets.

-

Please consider the following:

-

On July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico. This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.

A fact that has gone under investigated and reported by the leftwing media elite, in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses? Really not that hard to believe if you have ever caught a glimpse of Speaker Pelosi in just the right light from the right angle. (Thanks to Iron Boy, MB, from Atlanta, GA for this contribution)

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 59: “They Call Alabama the Crimson Tide”

“Big wheels keep on turning

Carry me home to see my kin

Singing songs about the Southland

I miss Alabama once again

And I think it’s a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her

Well, I heard ole Neil put her down

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue

Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you”

Lynyrd Skynyrd


A “Crimson Tide” crashed into the White House on Monday of the 59th week of the train wreck known as the Obama Administration. The White House hasn’t seen so much class in its historic halls since the departure of W. and Laura Bush 59 weeks ago.

Tradition demands that our national sports champions make an obligatory pilgrimage to DC to be recognized by the Commander-in-Chief. After winning a record thirteenth NCAA National Football Championship Coach Nick Sabin and the University of Alabama players were tickled pink to drop by 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for some well deserved praise from our Pucker Up Buttercup-in-Chief.

For his part our Sports Fan-in-Chief said all the right things, his mastery of the teleprompter truly is a sight to behold, including his comments about the absent die hard Auburn fan, Senior White House political hack and Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs. The President hit all the right cords recognizing team leaders, the rewards of hard work and even a reference to the Bear which is always music to the ears of the Alabama faithful.

What happened next is truly remarkable. Thoughts of Obama from Bama has uncovered a behind the scenes exclusive provided by two eye witnesses that observed the carnage at the White House first hand following the formal ceremony.

Immediately following the departure of the press, dignitaries, and other guest the President returned to the podium and asked all the coaches and players to have a seat as he had an important issue he wanted to discuss. Following is a summary of his comments:

· “In parlance y’all can understand, I’m gonna tell y’all what – all you crackers from Alabama are really putting a hitch in my get along. Now listen up” Sure enough got everybody’s full and undivided attention.

· “Alabama is as red as the day is long. Y’all yahoos voted for McCain 60% - 39% in the last election and I can assure you that don’t sit well with yours truly and my political hacks back in the West Wing”. Stunned, the players and coaches sat in silence unsure if this was a joke or what.

· “Y’all’s Congressional Delegation, for the most part, ain’t nothin but a bunch of no count white trash yahoos who have opposed my visionary and enlightened agenda from the get go”. He continued “y’all are gonna learn the hard way there will be consequences for those who refuse to cooperate“. Sensing our Strong Arming Political Hack-in-Chief might be serious the crowd shuffled and murmured uncomfortably.

· “College Football is controlled by the corrupt and greedy corporate titans on Wall Street and the federal government needs to takeover, regulate, tax it and even the playing field. Redistribute the wealth boys, no more dynasties like Alabama; Florida; USC; Oklahoma; Texas; or Ohio State”. This blasphemy didn’t stand unchallenged as several “no ways, when Hell freezes over and dream on” broke out from the astonished Tide players.

· “You boys need to be my Ambassadors back in Hicksville so get back down there and promote my Marxist/Socialist agenda. Failure to do so will result in cutting off all Federal funding for the University, trashing several of you personally with false accusations of nefarious behavior, and IRS audits”. Justifiably agitated several players rose from their seats ready to charge the podium with only the stern words and looks from Coach Saban halting their advance.

· “One more thing, all that jazz I said about how great y’all are earlier, forget it man. Truth be told, you are all a bunch of yahoos from a redneck State; the SEC is the weakest Conference in the Country; Alabama was lucky to win the National Championship; Coach Saban is a poser; and the Bear was an overrated sissy”.

To say the least all hell done broke loose after this last insult. An affront on the Bear is a sin no self respecting member of the Bama family can forgive or ignore.

Before the Secret Service detail had a chance to react All American and Butkus Award winning linebacker Rolando McClain charged from the left, Javier Arenas rushed in from the left corner while Terrance “Mount” Cody rumbled up the middle of the crowd with a real bad attitude and a strong hankering for putting some serious hurt on the man at the podium.

In a flash the three players simultaneously converged on our Socialist-in-Chief. McClain hitting high, Arenas low and Cody delivering a devastating blow chest high launching the leader of the free world into an uncontrollable whirlybird rendering him temporally unconscious, sprawled out spread eagle on the floor, mumbling to himself over and over “Bear Bryant good, Bear Bryant good, …

Having sufficiently defended the University’s and Coach Bryant’s honor the team, still greatly agitated by our Abuser of Power-in-Chief’s comments, proceeded to VP Biden’s office. Finding the Veep in the deep slumber of a mid-afternoon nap the boys proceeded to inflict multiple pancake blocks upon Uncle Joe compelling him to confess to being guilty of serial plagiarism, frequent boorish behavior, and the inability to refrain from making absolutely ridiculous, asinine, and/or ludicrous remarks.

Feeling fair to midland about putting the President and Veep on the straight and narrow the boys in Crimson decided to make one last stop before departing and paid a visit to the White House Press Secretary and senior political hack, Robert Gibbs. In an effort to encourage the boy to reconsider his lying, misleading and Marxist/Socialist propagandizing ways they hauled his bony ass out behind the Rose Garden for a little tackling practice.

Mr. Gibbs hasn’t conducted a Press Conference since his practice session with the National Champions. Rumor has it he is experiencing a gracious plenty amount of difficulty speaking the truth and lying with his jaw wired so tightly shut.

Regardless if you believe our version or the main stream media elite’s account the Crimson Tide’s White House visit was probably the most important event held at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since the “Hope, Change and Believe” crowd slithered into town 59 weeks ago. That being said, several sources have reported hearing the team enthusiastically singing something along the lines of following while departing the White House grounds:

· Daa da da, hey Mr. President

Daa da da, hey Uncle Joe

Daa da da, hey Political Hack Gibbs

We just beat the Hell out of you

Rammer jammer Yellow Hammer

Give um Hell Alabama

Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 58: Reconciliation

“About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation” Will Rogers

Our founding fathers were justifiably greatly concerned about the separation of powers and checks and balances to counter the authority of a strong central Government. For instance, the Constitution specifically indentifies the President as the Commander-in-Chief but gives the Congress the authority to declare war.

Another real bone of contention was the structure of a legislative body. The number of representatives from each state, the process for elections and powers granted to the legislators were all hotly disputed issues. A compromise was finally reached creating a bicameral system consisting of the House of Representatives and Senate.

After a few duels, trashing of one another’s wives, threats to go public about illegitimate youngins and accusations of cavorting with concubines (sounds like the Clinton Administration and the Edwards campaign) it was agreed the number of House members would be determined by the population of each state and the Senate would be made up of two representatives from each state regardless of size or population. The House was also structured to accommodate a “need for speed” while legislation in the Senate, as intended by all them good ole boys at the Constitutional Convention, moves as slow as molasses.

To encourage a deliberate and even bipartisan process Senate rules also call for a “super majority”, three-fifths or two-thirds, on a number of important issues including – cloture, ratifying a treaty, amendments to the Constitution and ending a Filibuster.

One passionate, long winded Senator who loves the sound of his/her own voice, a characteristic shared by a super-super majority consisting of all one-hundred of our Senatorial blowhards, can Filibuster to their heart’s delight unless a super majority of sixty votes can be gathered to shut said Senator the hell up. For over two-hundred years the rules set up by the boys in attendance at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia allows one or just a few Senators to slow play a bill or even bury it deep beneath the Capitol Rotunda keeping it from seeing the light of day for years has worked fair to midland in running the clock out on hundreds of ill conceived, budget busting, boneheaded pieces of legislation.

Why the 1974 Democrat controlled Congress passed a Budget Bill with an innocent sounding provision called Reconciliation, a procedure designed to circumvent the deliberate, considered, tried and true rules of the Senate, just may have been a result of the post Watergate wave of radical leftwing tie died pointy headed liberals that infested Capital Hill that year. These rebellious coke snorting, pot smoking, Free Bird children of the sixties obviously had no respect at all for time tested traditions and rules of the Senate like not messing with their slow and purposeful way of doing bizness.

Reconciliation does sound harmless enough. The definition actually provides one with hope and inspiration – “the ending of conflict or the renewing of a friendly relationship between disputing people or groups” or synonymous with “understanding”; “resolution”; “compromise”; and “reunion”.

Wording in the 1974 Budget Bill was also non-threatening and seemingly innocuous – “A reconciliation instruction is a provision in a

budget resolution directing one or more committees to submit legislation changing existing law in order to bring spending, revenues, or the debt-limit into conformity with the budget resolution. The instructions specify the committees to which they apply, indicate the appropriate dollar changes to be achieved, and usually provide a deadline by which the legislation is to be reported or submitted”.

According to our Constitutional Scholar-in-Chief and his Congressional Comrades Speaker “Pit-bull” Pelosi and Majority Leader “Soon to be the Former Senior Senator From Nevada” Reid Reconciliation means “backdoor; deceitful; abuse of power; bend the rules to the breaking point; sneaky; dishonest; low down cheaten; arrogant; perversion of Senatorial rules so we can railroad Socialized Medicine through Congress contrary to the wishes of two-thirds of We the People."

-

After this week’s Ho Ax of a Healthcare Summit, hoax to all you Yankee Americans, our Meeting Facilitator-in-Chief has made several empty gestures to appease the GOP and at the same time made his intentions to misuse the Budget fixen procedure known as Reconciliation to ram through his Government run Socialized Medicine debacle crystal clear.

Considering the publically stated views of several Senior members of the “Hope, Change and Believe” gang about the inappropriate use of Reconciliation their plans to use this Budget resolution procedure now as the catalyst of what seems to be nothing less than a hostile takeover one-sixth of the US economy reeks with a stench of hypocrisy seldom seen even in DC.

The pillars of virtue and integrity advocating an “up and down vote”, Reconciliation, a majority vote of 51 as opposed to 60 as required by the Constitution ignoring two hundred years of senate rules to illegally pass Obamacare now had a totally different opinion of this budget resolution procedure when W wrongly considered using the measure for approving Justices (They did conclude it was not appropriate for votes of this nature) five years ago.

Their loud and passionate rhetoric condemning the use of Reconciliation at the time was really quite persuasive and inspirational:

· “The right to extend a debate is never more important than when one party controls both Congress and the White House. The filibuster serves as a check, on power, preserve our limited government.” Majority Leader Reid
· “This is the way Democracy ends. Not with a bomb but with a gavel” Senator Max Baucus
· “So this president has come to the majority here in the Senate and basically said ‘change the rules.’ ‘Do it the way I want it done.’ And I guess there just weren’t very many voices on the other side of the isle that acted the way previous generations of senators have acted and said ‘Mr. President we are with you, we support you, but that’s a bridge too far we can’t go there.’ You have to restrain yourself Mr. President.” Then Senator Hillary Clinton
· “We are on the precipice of a crisis, a constitutional crisis. The checks and balances which have been at the core of this Republic are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option. The checks and balances which say that if you get 51% of the vote you don’t get your way 100% of the time. It is amazing it’s almost a temper tantrum.” Senator Charles Schumer
· “The nuclear option if successful will turn the Senate into a body that could have its rules broken at any time by a majority of senators unhappy with any position taken by the minority. It begins with judicial nominations. Next will be executive appointments and then legislation.” Senator Dianne Feinstein
· “This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power. It is a fundamental power grab. I say to my friends on the Republican side you may own the field right now buy you won’t own it forever I pray God when the Democrats take back control we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing.” Then Senator Joe Biden
· “He hasn’t gotten his way…uh…and that is now prompting a change in the Senate rules that really I think would change the character of the Senate uh forever and uh what I worry about would be that you essentially have still two chambers the House and the Senate but you have simply majoritarian uh absolute power on on either side and that’s just not what the Founders intended.” Our Reconciliatory-in-Chief his self, Barack Husain Obama

Might be going a tad out a limb here but it seems this group of “strict Constitutionalist” didn’t think to highly of Reconciliation when W thought about using it. Their words still ring true today as they consider using this illegal procedure now to pass Socialized Medicine.

With all due respect Mr. President, Reconcile This. Leading your dominions in this illegal violation of our Constitution is truly emblematic of your corrupt Administration.

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