Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 90: Our Anything But Commander-in-Chief

“I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.”
George Washington

Our founding fathers were downright particular and exceedingly deliberate when considering options for the title to bestow upon the individual elected to lead our new government. For obvious reasons they wanted to avoid any titles that smacked of royalty or a monarchy which contradicted their tenants of a new form of government “for, by and of the people”.

After ruling out it's his ship now, his command, he's in charge, the boss, the head man, top dog, big cheese, head honcho, number one, numerous uno and you the man they settled on the title of President. They also referred to the position as Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief.

When contemplating the attributes and characteristics of our current occupant of the White House addressing him as President is almost tolerable but Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief can really put a hitch in the ole get along. Especially when you consider the man assumed office with absolutely no executive experience or aptitude for the job and the words Commander and Obama should never collide in the same sentence.

Over the course of the last ninety weeks we have used over 200 variations of the Commander-in-Chief title which in our humble opinion more accurately describe President Obama’s role and function. To help mark ninety weeks of the arrogance, chaos and insanity imposed upon us by the “ Yes We Can/Change/Believe” gang a review of some of the most relevant of these titles might serve as a good reminder of this Administration’s incompetence, hidden agenda and true intentions:

With the midterm elections bearing down on our Campaigner-in-Chief and his Congressional comrades like a tornado on a trailer park the President is out on the trail earning new titles that further demean him and the office he took an oath to uphold. About to take a beating usually reserved for a redheaded stepchild the Dems have lashed out in desperation trying to divert attentiom from their failed economic policies and Marxist/Socialist agenda.

Our Political Hack, Maker of False and Unfounded Accusations, Say Anything the Truth be Damned-in-Chief is stooping to new lows trying to salvage something from the pending political calamity they are about to experience. Following President Washington’s example to aspire for the title “Character of an Honest Man” or something similar is as foreign of a concept to Mr Obama as capitalism, honor, integrity, American exceptionalism and the true meaning of the title Commander-in-Chief.
