Thoughts of Obama from Bama

Week 68: The Class of 2010

“One cannot wage war under present conditions without the support of public opinion, which is tremendously molded by the press and other forms of propaganda.”
General Douglas MacArthur

Our Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief traveled to the upper Midwest over the weekend to deliver the commencement address to the 2010 graduating class from the University of Michigan. Instead of delivering an inspirational message of hope, promise and boundless opportunity the President, true to form, spent a mess of time chatting about his favorite subject, himself, and the balance of his remarks preaching his elitist, liberal, Socialist doctrines.

It’s also truly astonishing, even for this President, how many lies, misleading statements, and false accusations they were able to stuff into this relatively brief address. The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Ain’t no never mind about it another masterful piece of propaganda so indicative of the Hope/Change/Believe crowd.

Not wanting to bore you to tears we’ve only included excerpts of the most egregious and/or absurd remarks from the President’s speech for further review and comment in this week’s Column. Following are our observations and commentary:

The President of the United States of America:

“It is great to be here in the Big House and so may I say, “Go Blue!” I thought I’d go for the cheap applause line to start things off. (Laughter.)”

“Good afternoon, President Coleman, the Board of Trustees, to faculty, parents, family and friends of the class of 2010. (Applause.) Congratulations on your graduation, and thank you for allowing me the honor of being a part of it. (Applause.) Let me acknowledge your wonderful governor, Jennifer Granholm; your mayor, John Hieftje; all the members of Congress who are here today; members of Michigan’s Socialist, Communist, and Nationalist parties; And all my Bolshevik Union brothers (Applause.)”

“…Now, the teacher of this class instructed the students to ask me any question they wanted. So one asked, “How do you do your job?” Another asked, “Do you work a lot?” (Laughter.) Somebody wanted to know if I wear a black jacket or if I have a beard –- (laughter) -- so clearly they were getting me mixed up with the other tall guy from Illinois. (Laughter.) And one of my favorites was from a kid who wanted to know if I lived next to a volcano. (Laughter.) I'm still trying to piece the thought process on this one. (Laughter.) Loved this letter.”

• Other than being tall, lanky and from the same state Mr.’s Obama and Lincoln have absolutely nothing in common no matter how desperately the President tries to point out similarities. Lincoln was a honest man of substance who acted with integrity, honor and principle. Ideals that are as foreign to Mr. Obama as capitalism and character.

“But it was the last question from the last student in the letter that gave me pause. The student asked, “Are people being nice?” Are people being nice?
“…Well, if you turn on the news today, or yesterday, or a week ago, or a month ago –- particularly one of the cable channels -– (laughter) -- you can see why even a kindergartener would ask this question. (Laughter.) We’ve got politicians calling each other all sorts of unflattering names. Pundits and talking heads shout at each other. The media tends to play up every hint of conflict, because it makes for a sexier story -– which means anyone interested in getting coverage feels compelled to make their arguments as outrageous and as incendiary as possible.”

• Our Moralist-in-Chief and his political disciples are probably the most incendiary gang to infest DC since Nixon and his strong arming crowd was running the Country. With a well known foul mouthed abusive Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, and the likes of senior staff/political hacks Gibbs, Axelrod and Jarrett who declare war on News Channels; demonize any and all opposition; remarked they would keep their boot on the throat of a private sector company to impose compliance; and bribed, extorted, blackmailed and secretly rammed through their legislative agenda the words nice and the Obama Administration seldom collide in the same sentence.

“…First of all, American democracy has thrived because we have recognized the need for a government that, while limited, can still help us adapt to a changing world. On the fourth panel of the Jefferson Memorial is a quote I remember reading to my daughters during our first visit there.
It says, “I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but...with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.”

• To evoke the name of Thomas Jefferson in support of his big Government dreams of grandeur is not only ludicrous it’s Historical Fraud. A tactic right out of the Communist Manifesto – rewrite history in support of your Marxist initiatives. As a reminder to Comrade Obama, following are Mr. Jefferson’s actual thoughts about the fallacies of big Government:
• “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”
(Might want to read that one again Mr. Redistribution of Wealth)
• “It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.” (Stimulus, Socialized Healthcare, tripling the National Debt in 8 years rings a bell?)
• “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” (Taxing our most productive so we can take care of the victim class will surly jeopardize our future happiness)
• “My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” (On that basis we’ve gone from bad to worse to almost beyond repair)

“…So, class of 2010, what we should be asking is not whether we need “big government” or a “small government,” but how we can create a smarter and better government. (Applause.) Because in an era of iPods and Tivo, where we have more choices than ever before --government shouldn’t try to dictate your lives. But it should give you the tools you need to succeed. Government shouldn’t try to guarantee results, but it should guarantee a shot at opportunity for every American who’s willing to work hard. (Applause.)”

• That’s interesting, total BS but interesting. It’s also a complete lie as this Administration does guarantee results for all of its constituents – unions; community organizers; trial lawyers; criminal illegal aliens and the victim class

“…Now, the second way to keep our democracy healthy is to maintain a basic level of civility in our public debate. (Applause.) These arguments we’re having over government and health care and war and taxes -- these are serious arguments. They should arouse people’s passions, and it’s important for everybody to join in the debate, with all the vigor that the maintenance of a free people requires.

But we can’t expect to solve our problems if all we do is tear each other down. (Applause.) You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it. You can question somebody’s views and their judgment without questioning their motives or their patriotism. (Applause.) Throwing around phrases like “socialists” and “Soviet-style takeover” and “fascist” and “right-wing nut” -- (laughter) -- that may grab headlines, but it also has the effect of comparing our government, our political opponents, to authoritarian, even murderous regimes.”

• Look up the definition of hypocrisy and don’t be surprised to find a picture of the President hiself along with all his political hacks at the White House all just standing right up like they had good sense smiling right back at you.
• Since infesting the White House 68 Weeks ago the “Change We Can Believe In” gang has shown about as much civility as a loud, obnoxious, Tennessee fan all decked out in that hideous shade of orange could expect sitting smack dab in the middle of the Alabama student section
• Terms of endearment used to describe the GOP or anyone with the audacity to question or criticize their budget busting policy initiatives include: unpatriotic; liars; obstructionist; whiners; Nazis; fascist; Gestapo; losers; ignorant; cry babies; Astroturf; rednecks; white trash; trailer trash; crackers; fear merchants; racist; butthead (if they didn’t say this one they sure as hell were thinking it), and capitalist (the ultimate insult from a boneheaded liberal’s way of reckoning).
• The President has personally used most of these and more including his recent remarks calling the good folks of the Tea Party Tea Baggers. A crude term describing a gay sex act that liberals love to say on TV and then giggle like school girls.

“…If you are willing, as past generations were willing, to contribute part of your life to the life of this country, then I, like President Kennedy, believe we can. Because I believe in you. (Applause.)”

• Unbelievable, our Narcissist-in-Chief not only sees himself as a modern day Abe Lincoln but also JFK reincarnate. Sorry Mr. President, JFK was a genuine war hero, fiscal conservative, not only a great orator but backed those words with real substance and a scratch golfer."

• In contrast our Poser-in-Chief is a military despising pacifist; deficit busting out of control spender of other people’s money; master of empty rhetoric; and in spite of his tendency to sneak out to play golf 3 times a week he still can’t hit it out of his own shadow, makes generous use of his foot wedge and tends to consistently choke on those 3 foot putts

“Congratulations on your graduation, 2010. May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America. Allah the Great, Allah the Benevolent.

Thank you.”

President Obama’s “Nice, Civility, JFK Envy” commencement address was another blatant attempt by our Educator-in-Chief to mislead and misinform the youth of America.

Our sympathies go out to the University of Michigan class of 2010. We highly recommend reading the US Constitution, Jefferson, Adams, and Washington for a much needed reality check that’s sure to clear your mind of the Obama propaganda you were covertly subjected to at your graduation.
