Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Weeks 83 & 84: The Summer of Recovery

“The business of America is business” Calvin Coolidge

Sure enough hope all y’all are enjoying what the “Hope/Change/Believe” political hacks are referring to as “The Summer of Recovery”. A mythological economic recovery created in the White House propaganda office probably by the likes of comrades Gibbs, Press Secretary; Axelrod, Chief Political Hack; Emanuel, the Enforcer; and Economic Czar, Larry “Pointy Headed Harvard Academic” Sumners.

Under the incompetent and even hostile view of free markets and capitalism the Obama Administration has redefined President Coolidge’s pro-business maxim quoted above to something more akin to the following:

• “The business of America is big Government”
• “The business of America is creating a Socialist Nanny State”
• “The business of America is creating a secular progressive Marxist/Socialist Utopia”

Our Economist-in-Chief has been so hell bent on pursuing his Marxist/Socialist dreams of grandeur his so called “Summer of Recovery” has been nothing but an abject failure across the boards. Any hint of real economic recovery has been few and far between.

Truth be told, following are the only things we’ve observed having anything at all to do with recovery coming from the “Change” gang this summer:

• President Obama’s recovery from his addiction to Kools. We have it on good authority he’s backed off from three packs a day down to two.
• Veep Biden’s recovery from his addiction to high octane Irish whiskey. Giving Uncle Joe the benefit of the doubt that he must be really slanted and/or wasted as opposed to being dumber than a bag of hammers considering his almost daily completely asinine comments on any variety of topics
• Madam Secretary of State Hillary “Expert ducker from enemy sniper fire extraordinaire” Clinton’s recovery from her addiction to shaved butt ugly pants suits.
• Eric “Member of the New Black Panther Party” Holder, Attorney General, is rumored to be working hard with his recovery from his addiction to appease Islamic terrorist.
• Madam Speaker of the House Nancy “Who truly is dumber than a bag full of hammers” Pelosi’s recovery from her addiction to Socialism which is beating her like a red headed stepchild.
• And last but by no means never least Senate Majority Leader Harry “Soon to be X Senator” Reid’s recovery from his addiction of looking and acting like a clueless bonehead. Considering recent comments and TV appearances that loud thump we keep hearing is ole Harry falling off the wagon.

It might be high time to change Mr. Obama’s “The Summer of Recovery” to a more accurate description of the actual status of the Country’s precarious fiscal position. We are tickled pink to provide two alternatives that achieve this objective.

“The Summer of Uncertainty” and “The Summer of Absurdity”

• “The Summer of Uncertainty” – The only certainty American business has towards the Obama Administration is their recognition of Obama’s anti-business agenda. The uncertainty created by the ambiguity of Obama’s Socialist policy positions puts the private sector in a state of inaction, apprehension and caution. In other words, small business owners from coast to coast don’t know if they should scratch their watch or wind their butt.

Following are a few of Obama’s policies and regs currently stifling growth, killing job growth and discouraging risk taking:

1. Obamacare/Socialized Medicine – This hostile takeover of 1/5th of our economy is the biggest manmade disaster to hit this country in our 234 year history. This deficit/debt exploding Socialist nightmare just might be the catalyst that ultimately transforms this great nation from a free market capitalist society to a Marxist/Socialist Nanny State. With our capitalist economy in peril it’s no wonder the business community is in a state of shock and paralysis.
2. New Financial Reform Legislation – Another humongous piece of Socialist legislation with untold innovation and risk taking adverse regs and intrusive fines, fees and taxes that will cost trillions of dollars and millions of jobs.
3. Cap and Trade – Another massive Marxist/Socialist legislative initiative that will not only nationalize the US energy industry but also cause prices to sky rocket and the loss of millions of jobs.

• “The Summer of Absurdity” – Some of the policies, positions and remarks advocated by this Administration are not only leftwing dribble they are also strange, foreign, bizarre and in many instances just downright absurd. If the main stream media elite had even a frog hair’s worth of journalistic integrity and reported on half of the insanity perpetrated by this bunch Mr. Obama would have been run out of town on a rail months ago.

Following are a few examples of the absurdities we’ve all been
subjected to by the head cases currently occupying the White
House.

1. Taking credit for the success “victory” achieved in Iraq under the leadership and policies of W’s Administration.
2. Blaming W for our current economic meltdown citing the cost of both wars as major factors causing the recession. Aside from the total lack of honesty do any of these yahoos remember what happened on 9/11.
3. Blaming the GOP for obstructing economic recovery in Congress when the President and his Democrat comrades have super majorities in both Houses.
4. Having Hillary Clinton’s State Department submit a report to the UN claiming Arizona’s new Immigration law is in violation with global human rights standards. Claiming a moral equivalency between Arizona’s law and human rights violations by the likes of Iran, North Korea, Russia and every Islamic governed country is not only absurd it’s lunacy and possibly treason’s.
5. Supporting the construction of a “Victory” mosque that will cast its Jihadist shadow over the sacred battle field of Ground Zero. The fact this is getting serious consideration goes way beyond absurd and into the realm of crazier than an outhouse rat.

President Obama’s so called “Summer of Recovery” is more empty rhetoric intended to divert attention from the uncertainties and absurbities emblematic of his failed Administration. We can only hope the “Summer of Recovery” transforms into the “Fall of Obama”.

Author/Columnist Note: as the President was on vacation most of the summer we felt so inclined to take a little time off ourselves and combined Weeks 83 & 84. Good Lord willing and the crick don’t rise we’ll be back on schedule next week.
