Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 101: “Sued, Screwed, and Tattooed”
Well I've been sued and screwed and tattooed.
But I’m standing right here in front of you
Telling you that even the best of 'em make a mistake
We're all livin' life day to day
The whole damn world's just feeling it's way
But you can tell them ol' Jerry Jeff said it's OK, Jerry Jeff Walker:” Lovin' Makes Livin' Worthwhile”
For the last 101 weeks We the People have been repeatedly “Sued, Screwed, and Tattooed” by the Marxist/Socialist Obama Regime. There has been an unprecedented assault on our personal liberties; the Federal Treasury; our international standing and prestige; and our free market capitalist economy.
Before we start the third year of the train wreck known as the Obama Administration it’s only fittin that we glance back at the political carnage and relentless attacks on the Constitution perpetrated by the “Blame America First/Terrorist Sympathizers/Exploding Deficits/Addicted to Criminally Over Spending Other People’s Money gang currently infesting the White House.
Following are the top ten most egregious; possibly illegal; unequivocally unethical; anti-American; irresponsible; ultra partisan; fiscally disastrous; intellectual dishonest; Marxist inspired actions imposed on our great nation in 2010:
1. The Administration’s response to the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf Mexico. On April 20th a deep water oil rig blew killing 11 and initiating a massive leak one mile below the surface of the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Initial word from BP and the Obama Administration was the oil leak was marginal and easily contained. It only ended up being one of the worst ecological disasters in history.
Our Chief Executive was totally ineffective dealing with the crisis. This was partly intentional as their real agenda was exploiting the spill to end domestic offshore drilling. This strategy has resulted in loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs.
2. Times Square Terrorist. Similar to the “Under drawers Christmas Bomber” last year Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized American born in Pakistan Islamic Jihadist who parked a crude car bomb in New York's Times Square, also must have skipped class at Terrorist U the day they covered Demolitions 101. In both cases we dodged a huge bullet as the terrorist plots remained undetected right up till the moment the explosives failed to ignite.
This bunch best get serious about the war with Islamic Jihadist and lose the law enforcement mentality before Omar learns how to light a fuse.
3. Five hundred Year Flood. - Just in case you missed it
floods in Tennessee claimed dozens of lives and billions in property damage. Couldn’t say why the Administration or main stream media pinheads didn’t give this truly record breaking natural disaster the time of day. The fact it’s a deep red state populated by a bunch of no count crackers surely didn’t influence Mr. Obama’s decision to totally ignore this monumental natural disaster.
4. Illegal Immigration. Starting with Mr. Obama who many believe to be our Criminal Illegal Alien-in- Chief along with several of his Senior political hacks including Attorney General Eric “Terrorist Sympathizer” Holder and Homeland Security Honcho and coiner of the phrase “man made disaster” for domestic terrorism, Janet Napolitano, this Administration condemned an Arizona Immigration bill for promoting racial profiling and discriminating against our brethren of Hispanic origins.
It is interesting that all these Administration political hacks who have openly and without shame cast dispersions on Arizona’s new law have also sheepishly admitted while testifying at Congressional Hearings their own failure to take the time to read the actual bill. Reckon we shouldn’t expect a lot more from a President who accused the Cambridge Police of being a bunch of racist right after admitting in the same sentence he didn’t have all the facts.
Surely the most ludicrous response to the Arizona law came out of Secretary Hillary “Keeper of the Butt Ugly Traveling Pants Suit” Clinton’s State Department. Some yahoo Assistant Secretary of Pucker Up Buttercup and Bend Way Over and Grab My Ankles named Michael Posner stood right on up there at the podium like he had good sense and proudly exclaimed he had apologized early and often to the Chinese for Arizona’s new law.
5. A change in command. The far leftwing rag the Rolling Stone published an expose on General Stanley McChrystal, our Commander of US and Allied Forces in Afghanistan, and it turns out the good General and his staff don’t think to highly of our Commander-in-Chief or his Advisors.
This serious breach of Military ethics won the General a free trip to the Presidential woodshed for an old fashion, foot stomping, raised voices, gather at the river, come to Jesus (or in President Obama’s case Mohammad) gathering.
What possessed this highly decorated elite group of fighting men to speak with such candor within earshot of Rolling Stone remains a mystery. What’s not a mystery is the disdain and contempt these gentlemen have for their civilian bosses. A dangerous situation for sure when an incompetent, weak, President loses the trust and confidence of his senior officers.
6. Impeachable offensives. Always figured if the day ever came when a French President advised our Commander-in-Chief to get control of government spending, deficits and new Socialist programs it would be the same day Hell freezes over, pigs fly and monkeys fly out of Al “Sex Poodle” Gore’s Nobel Prize winning Global Warming butt. That’s exactly what happened at the G8 Summit earlier this year.
In fact, all seven of the other members of the G8 rejected our Marxist/Socialist-in-Chief’s proposal for a worldwide stimulus and the continuation of massive deficit spending. Ain’t no never mind about it when the Socialist Nanny States of Europe are justifiably lecturing us about our dangerous big Government Marxist fiscal policies it’s time for a serious evaluation of our current leadership and their reckless dismantling of our free market capitalist economy. If this ain’t an impeachable offense it damn sure should be.
7. Another activist judge. Elena Kagan, another radical liberal head case Yankee lawyer, was appointed by our alleged Constitutional Scholar-in-Chief to fill the seat on the Supreme Court of retiring progressive bleeding heart leftwing bonehead Justice John Paul Stephens. Hopefully the appointment of Ms. Kagan will result in nothing more than replacing one Constitution ignoring judicial activist with another.
Problem is we just don’t know exactly how far left Ms. Kagan’s judicial philosophy has wandered. What little we do know from her bio, liberal biased press reports and the Senate Hearing leaves us as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
The daughter of a Yankee lawyer and school teacher she was born and raised in New York City’s bastion of liberalism the upper West Side. Chances are she never crossed paths with a moderate let alone an individual of conservative leanings until going off to college. Bless her heart, she really never had a fighting chance to grow up with anything but an extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
8. Our Reluctant Astronaut-in-Chief’s has a new mission for NASA in addition to his canceling of all manned space missions. According to NASA head Charles Bolden who said in a recent interview with the Middle Eastern news network al-Jazeera "When I became the NASA administrator, he charged me with three things."One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; two, he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering."
Truly a sad day in the storied history of NASA. We’ve gone from the glory days of Mercury, Apollo and whippen the Ruskies like a red headed step child to kissing Akbar’s Arab ass.
9. Ignoring the will of the people. Just as happy as if they had good sense the Obama Regime has unabashedly pursued a radical; extremist; left wing; progressive; secular; ultra-liberal; freedom stifling; liberty smothering; victim promoting; Marxist agenda that would make the likes of Stalin, Castro, Mao, and Michael “ Chocolate Covered Cream Filled“ Moore proud. Ain’t no never mind about it the now historic 2010 mid-term elections were a referendum on Obama/Pelosi/Reid’s Socialist vision for America and their Marxist dreams of grandeur.
However, anyone under the illusion that Mr. Obama’s visit to the woodshed humbled or modified his extremist Marxist views is crazier than an outhouse rat. This man is an authentic; wild eyed; true believer; Marxist Revolutionary hell bent on fundamental transformative change and global domination.
10. Selling Obamacare. President Obama and friends have been busier than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest attempting to sell a skeptical populace on the virtues of Obamacare. Considering most everything we were told – keep your doctor; keep your plan; lower cost; more benefits; deficit reduction; no death panels; no rationing – had absolutely no basis in truth their propaganda campaign hasn’t changed too many hearts and minds. This massive and extraordinarily expensive legislation is nothing but classic Marxist/Socialist doctrine deserving of our scorn and rejection.
After two years of getting “Sued, Screwed, and Tattooed” by Barack and his Socialist Regime with a new GOP dominated Congress it’s high time to turn the tables and give the President a little what for. All we need to know is whose name he wants in the heart shaped forearm tat. Mao, Castro, Mohamed, Rev. Wright, Marx, Stalin, or ACORN.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 100: “Do Tell, Do Tell”
Ah, what a joyous sight to see you in your sleep.
I believe I'm leavin'; I'm in too deep,
and that seems easy enough for a man to say.
But we would never agree if we talked all night.
Things are gettin' kind of heavy. I'm travelin' light.
Goodbye you jaded lover, you undercover queen for a day.
Well, I can see you are an angel,
Whose wings just won't unfold.
Tune up your harp; polish your old halo.
Well the only kind of man that you ever wanted
is one that you knew you'd never hold very long.
You're sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go.
Think about it darlin “Jaded Lover” Jerry Jeff Walker
U.S. Armed Services are fixin to throw a coming out party the likes of which hasn’t been seen in these parts since Momma got early parole. Each and every gay and lesbian member of the military are kicking the closet doors wide open, publically declaring their sexual orientation, and giving an entirely different meaning to the phrase “the few, the proud, the Marines”.
After two years of prodding from the gay and lesbian community to keep his campaign promise President Obama and his Democrat Congressional comrades finally got around to repealing the Clinton era policy Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) governing homosexuals in the military. The final vote was 65-31, drawing support from eight seriously misguided or enlightened Republicans, depending on one’s way of reckoning.
Our “Great Repealer of Discriminatory and Politically Incorrect Policies”-in-Chief remarked "It is time to close this chapter in our history, It is time to recognize that sacrifice, valor and integrity are no more defined by sexual orientation than they are by race or gender, religion or creed." Once the law is enacted gays will be openly accepted by the military for the first time in U.S. history and can go public with their sexual orientation without fear of being discharged.
All this social engineering, political correctness and sensitivity to diversity is lovely but seems to miss the point. The only real question is will gays and lesbians openly serving in the military enhance or diminish our ability to achieve victory on the battle field?
Truth be told most of us civilians are downright ignorant about the military way of life. To paraphrase General George S. Patton “they don’t know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating”.
Military service and combat in particular is a unique and specialized endeavor that with few exceptions can’t be duplicated in a civilian environment. Barack Husain Obama, most of Congress, the media elite press and so called cultural thought leaders in New York and San Francisco simply are not qualified to make this decision.
A brief review of each service branch’s Mission Statements just might be a good starting point for all of us noncombatant civilians to conduct an evaluation of this issue:
• The Army’s mission is to fight and win our Nation’s wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders.
• The mission of the United States Air Force is to deliver sovereign options for the defense of the United States of America and its global interests -- to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace.
• The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready Naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas.
• Semper Fidelis distinguishes the Marine Corps bond from any other. It goes beyond teamwork – it is a brotherhood and lasts for life.
Certainly seems to be several core values and central themes expressed here that we’d consider neutral as to the impact of homosexuals openly serving in the ranks. The jury is still out on the new policy’s influence on fighting, waging war, maintaining freedom, and victory on the battle field.
As for the Marine Corp’s Semper Fidelis, that goes way beyond teamwork to the formulation of a brotherhood and/or a true Warrior culture. Openly serving gays in this environment could certainly prove to be a major assimilation problem.
A poll issued by the Pentagon showed an overwhelming level of support of DADT’s repeal. However, the Pentagon polled all military "personnel" including their spouses, inlaws, pets and even thier no count white trash out of work third cousin on thier mother's side.
Only a small portion of the military actually does the fighting. According to the Pentagon study: "A higher percentage of service members in combat-fighting units predicted negative effects."
Bless thier hearts the Marines were the most resistant to overturning "don't ask, don't tell," with 58 percent of those in combat opposed. They simply can’t allow anything that interferes with unit cohesion, such as, dating amongst the ranks; flirting during fire fights; cooking classes breaking out; and periodic grab ass sessions.
Another interesting aspect of the DADT policy is the relatively low number of discharges for homosexuality. Only 13,500 since DADT’s implementation in 1993. That equates to an average of less than 800 discharges per year.
DADT discharges have also been extremely low in comparison to other infractions. Following are discharges for 2008 according to Defense Department records:
• Drugs: 5,627
• Serious offenses: 3,817
• Weight standards: 4,555
• Pregnancy: 2,353
• Parenthood: 2,574
• Homosexuality: 634
So, the central question still remains will gays and lesbians openly serving in the military enhance or diminish combat readiness, unit cohesion and military effectiveness? At this point hard to say.
What we do know:
1. The USO will need to line up some Broadway Show Tune artist for future tours
2. The color options for camouflage makeup will have to be expanded
3. Dress uniform will literally mean dress uniform
4. Going commando as a fashion statement will be prohibited
5. The caliber of play on the woman’s softball and golf teams will improve by leaps and bounds
6. Close Quarters Combat Training will require a chaperon
7. The number of recruits from San Francisco and Key West will dramatically increase
8. They are gonna make Congressman Barney “Freddie in the Fanny Mac” Frank a Five Star General
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 99: “Deja Vu All Over Again”
Off to see the lizard
Off to see the lizard
Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true
Veja Veja Veja du
What works for me might just work for you "Off to See The Lizard", Jimmy Buffett
On Friday afternoon of the 99th week of the most extreme, radical, left wing Administration to ever occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue an unprecedented event took place that had all who witnessed it thinking and/or saying “Deja Va All Over Again”.
Standing right on up behind the Presidential podium like he had good sense in the Briefing Room in the West Wing former President Bill “They Impeached My Happy Ass” Clinton was holding court with the White House press corps just like in his glory days back in the 1990’s. Seeing Bubba back in his old stomping grounds sure enough brought back some fond memories of vast right wing conspiracies; White Water; Travelgate; defining the word is; Jennifer, Paula, et all; Hillarycare; and the infamous blue dress.
Mr. Clinton was allegedly summoned to the Oval Office by our current Marxist / Socialist-in-Chief for a private political strategy session. According to conventional wisdom, political pundits, and far too many so called conservative thought leaders the President was seeking advice from the master on how to successfully pivot to the right; govern as a pragmatist; moderate; and employ a tactic known as triangulation which involves taking credit for GOP victories and the exploitation of any failures.
Only problem with the political pundit’s, genius commentators, and inside the beltway media elite’s overwhelming general consensus of the purpose of this high level Presidential bull session is:
1. Barack Husain Obama is a true believer in a Marxist / Socialist Revolution , he is committed and passionate about orchestrating a massive global redistribution of wealth, he is an extreme advocate and supporter of the Communist Manifesto and it’s call to arms advancing the destruction of America from within, and he is fiercely opposed to changing his class warfare promoting Bolshevik ways to pivot right or achieve triangulation with the GOP.

Truth be told according to our high placed White House sources President Obama met with former President Clinton to discuss options for setting up a White House Internship program. Mr. Obama was impressed by “Saturday Night” Bill’s active hands on approach with his Interns and thought some pointers would certainly be helpful.
For his part former President Clinton wanted to personally, face to face, thank President Obama for sending Hillary on so many overnight trips. Hillary’s frequent absences affording our former “Tail Hound”-in-Chief with ample opportunities to step out on the “Pants Suited One”.
After 90 minutes or there abouts of Clinton extracurricular sexual conquest stories our “Propagandist”-in-Chief realized his adoring White House press corps would be expecting a few comments about his meeting with the former President. The truth not really being an option, SOP for this crowd, the two agreed to publically endorse the Tax Rate Extension Bill recently negotiated with the GOP.
Giddy as two schools girls in anticipation of being broadcast to a global TV audience, the President’s favorite undertaking and Wild Bill’s second, it was off to the Briefing Room for an improptude presser. The media elite gathered, cameras and microphones activated the President stepped up to the podium for a few opening remarks.
What followed was sure enough one of the most bizarre moments of the Obama Presidency. Our current President abruptly interrupted the former Chief Executive, announced his immediate departure citing some absurd excuse about not annoying the wife by running late to some party and then departing leaving Mr. Clinton at his Presidential podium; addressing his White House press corps; advocating for and defending his Tax Rate Extension deal.
Ain’t no never mind about it this “Deja Va All Over Again” White House moment literally seemed like an unofficial temporary transfer of power from Obama to Clinton. Totally unconstitutional not that a minor detail like that ever stopped either one of these constitutional scholars from pursuing their respective political agendas.
Following is a brief summary of our observations and analyses of Mr. Obama’s abdication of power:
• Obama the man looked weak, inexperienced and clueless
• Bill Clinton coming in to validate Obama’s tax deal with the GOP further demeaned the stature of the Presidency
• The notion of Clinton appeasing the left wingers in the democratic caucus on Obama’s behalf is ludicrous. Clinton has no real political convictions but compared to Obama he looks like Rush Limbaugh
• Next time President Obama gets a hankering to abdicate power hopefully he’ll transfer it over to W, Halley Barber, Newt or some other good southern conservative that won’t hesitate to tell our Chief Executive and all his Congressional comrades what for.
• Allowing Bubba to hold center stage and respond to additional non tax extension deal questions further diminished Obama’s stature
White House Chief Propaganda Officer Robert Gibbs called for the last question after about thirty minutes realizing “Saturday Night” Bill would stay all night given the opportunity. The perfect way to end a memorable day immediately following former President Clinton’s final remarks there was an awful ruckus under the Presidential podium and Lord have mercy out rolled Monica Lewinsky.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 98: Comrade Obama’s “Sputnik Moment”
"Speakin' of fruitcakes, how 'bout the government?
Your tax dollars at work.
We lost our Martian rocket ship
The high paid spokesman said
Looks like that silly rocket ship
Has lost its cone shaped head
We spent 90 jillion dollars trying to get a look at Mars
I hear universal laughter ringing out among the stars” Fruitcakes, Jimmy Buffett.
For the first time in 98 weeks our Comrade-in-Chief was dragged kicking and screaming to the table forced to negotiate with the GOP because of the recent historic Republican victory in the midterm election. Considering his unprofessional and immature behavior in response to this new reality the next two years promise to be chock full of political intrigue and theatre.
True to form immediately following a compromise agreement on extending W tax rates and Unemployment benefits the President whipped out the ole teleprompter and stood right on up behind the podium like he had good sense and lied about the Republican’s position; advanced his victim status; acted like a six year old having a hissy fit; belittled and demonized his political adversaries; and displayed the low rent, cowardly, delusional, self serving, no class character flaws we’ve come to expect from Mr. Obama.
Right smack dab in the middle of this Democrat political catastrophe, the Wikileak foreign affairs debacle, and our continued limp wristed response to North Korean aggression and Iran’s nuclear weapon ambitions our Stifler of Entrepreneurenship-in-Chief traveled to the Research Triangle in North Carolina and made a bizarre challenge to lawmakers and the private sector business community to help America achieve the next “Sputnik Moment”. Only a genuine Marxist /Socialist /Bolshevik would evoke a Sputnik analogy to encourage the United States of America to pursue new and unprecedented levels of discovery and innovation.
As a reminder his "Sputnik Moment" is a reference to the Soviet Union’s 1957 launch of the first Earth-orbiting satellite. Letting the Soviets win this historical milestone was an extremely embarrassing moment for Uncle Sammy but was also one of many setbacks we experienced in the “Space Race” with the Ruskies.
Ain’t no never mind about it our ultimate success and victory over Ivan with Neil Armstrong’s “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” onto the Lunar surface was an unparalleled scientific achievement. A combination of the best and brightest folks and the epitome of U.S. innovation and ingenuity.
Truly an extraordinary achievement but also indicative of American creativity, inventive spirit and passion for discovery prevalent since Colonial times and the Revolution. Why the President chose to refer to a 50 year old USSR success story as opposed to one of literally thousands of home grown scientific achievements to promote current/future innovation is as big a mystery as his religious affiliation.
Examples of American scientific breakthroughs to motivate and inspire today’s risk takers and world shakers are more abundant than white on rice. One of our most prominent Founding Fathers, Ben Franklin, was responsible for three inventions that radically improved millions of people’s quality of life.
Franklin Stoves were in all likelihood the world’s first green/eco- friendly home appliance reducing toxic emissions by 80% or there abouts compared to conventional stoves of those times. His Bifocals prolonged the gift of sight for thousands and Lightening Rods saved countless lives from a horrific death of being burned alive in fires caused by lightning strikes.
Any one or all three of these ingenious Franklin inventions are ideal examples of U.S. advancements Mr. Obama could have cited in support of his American Innovation Initiative. Truth be told there are thousands of pre and post Sputnik American technological breakthroughs that the President could have chosen to help promote his new program.
Following is a partial listing of truly remarkable innovations and world changing inventions created by American entrepreneurs, visionaries and nation builders:
Pre-Sputnik
• Cotton Gin / Suspension Bridge / Morse code / Anesthesia / Potato Chips / Toilet Paper (surely one of the world’s most appreciated inventions) / Repeating rifle / Machine gun / Motor cycle / Paper bag / Phonograph / Model T / Coca Cola / Solar cell / telephone / light bulb / Zipper / Tractor / Mouse trap / Assembly line / Air conditioning / Bourbon / Airplane / Toaster (sliced bread) / Ice cube tray (Truly a life saver) / Bubble gum / Teflon / Microwave oven / Supersonic aircraft / SEC College Football / Bar code / Hard disk drive / Laser / Atom bomb
Post Sputnik
• Spandex / Communications satellite / Neutron bomb / Bomb shelters / Cordless telephone / Microprocessor / Professional Wrestling / PC / Email / Mobile phone/ MRI / Internet / Nano wire battery / Microsoft / Monster Truck Rallies / Google / Apple / Facebook
With options ranging from light bulbs and TP to Nuetron bombs and Microsoft we can only hope Commrade Obama shifts strategy and selects an American success story to help promote his Innovation Initiative. If our Cosmonaut-in-Chief still insist on achieving a “Sputnik Moment” we suggest he knock back a few shots of vodka and execute a single orbit around the Rose Garden with First Pooch Bolshivik the Water Dog.

Week 98: Comrade Obama’s “Sputnik Moment”
"Speakin' of fruitcakes, how 'bout the government?
Your tax dollars at work.
We lost our Martian rocket ship
The high paid spokesman said
Looks like that silly rocket ship
Has lost its cone shaped head
We spent 90 jillion dollars trying to get a look at Mars
I hear universal laughter ringing out among the stars” Fruitcakes, Jimmy Buffett.
For the first time in 98 weeks our Comrade-in-Chief was dragged kicking and screaming to the table forced to negotiate with the GOP because of the recent historic Republican victory in the midterm election. Considering his unprofessional and immature behavior in response to this new reality the next two years promise to be chock full of political intrigue and theatre.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 97: Ba Ba Walters Part ll
Now I'm not one to deal in gossip
But was he that big a fool
To do a belly-buster high dive
And miss the entire pool
But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph
By now everybody knows
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph
Just who comes and goes
Comes and goes, comes and goes Coconut Telegraph, Jimmy Buffett
On Tuesday of the 97th week of the Titanicish Obama Administration one of the most elite of the liberal media elite interviewed our Propagandist-in-Chief along with the little woman. Sure enough a virtuoso performance it was as obvious as white on rice that ABC and Barbara “Ba Ba” Walters were hell bent on giving our besieged Chief Executive some positive primetime exposure and serious public brown nosing.
Out of over 120 questions asked by Ba Ba 70 or their abouts had absolutely nothing what so ever to do with policy, current events or issues of substance. Instead the so called journalist Walters did her more typical gossip columnist routine covering topics more likely to be of interest to the National Inquirer subscriber rather than the Wall Street Journal or even the liberal rag the New York Times reader.
Following are several examples of some of the most irrelevant, fluff, meaningless, softball, propaganda enabling topics and questions Ba Ba offered up to the First Couple
• Thanksgiving plans
• Cleaning the White House
• Pardoning a turkey
• Bolshevik the Water Dog tricks - shaking hands then he gets his tummy rubbed
• The President’s continued pathetic attempts to point out similarities with Abe Lincoln. Other than a similar build and huge floppy ears the two are polar opposites. Abe was a patriot and a great American. Barack is first and foremost a global citizen and a blame America first extremist
• Watching football.
• The First Lady’s alleged expertise on sports.
• LeBron James
• The Royal Wedding
• Do the girls watch the news?
• Are the girls still writing to Santa?
• The Tooth Fairy
• Childhood obesity.
• The First Lady’s toned arms
• The breaking news she wasn’t wearing a sleeveless dress
• The President’s knowledge of the First Gal’s wardrobe
Ain’t no never mind about it this is truly some world shaking, award winning, hardcore investigative journalism. The President’s views and opinions about the Royal Wedding, LeBron James and the Tooth Fairy, (Barnie Frank) might be of interest to Ba Ba and her media elite comrades but as for the rest of us we don’t really give a happy by damn.
Completely ignoring or putting a positive spin on the multitude of ill advised, boneheaded, and Socialist policy initiatives this Administration has pursued is so typical of the far left wing, liberal, mainstream media elite press. Following is a partial list including some of these boneheaded policies and several other issues that have been totally mismanaged by the “Yes We Can “ gang:
• North Korea’s unprovoked attack on South Korea
• Challenges in Afghanistan
• Wikileak (sounds like the name of a Hawaiian Porta – John company) confidential State Department document dump
• W tax rate extensions
• Federal worker salary freeze
• Repeal of Obamacare
• Immigration
• The Deficit Commission
• Iran
• Extending Unemployment
• Passing the next FY Budget
• Working with the newly elected GOP Congressional leadership
To be fair Babs did ask about several of these issues but the questions were few and far between and so obviously formulated to favorably spin the President’s responses. Following are a few excerpts from the Obamas – Walters propaganda fest:
BARBARA WALTERS: Your husband has said that you are his chief advisor. So what did you say to him the night of November 2nd, when he was -- as he put it -- "shellacked"?
FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA: I said, "Let's, let's get to work. There is a lot to do." There… I, I think for, for us, it's always the focus on what we need to get done, the work ahead.
• These folk are experiencing a classic case of denial and/or they just don’t care about the will of the people.
BARBARA WALTERS: This man who was considered such a great communicator. What did he do wrong?
FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA: It's a tough time. I mean, my understanding is that, number one, every president in history has lost Congress at the midterms. Maybe that's overstating it, but it's happened for every president in, in my lifetime.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: It's the norm.
• For two alleged brilliant Harvard Law grads and a legendary journalist they sure failed miserably to disclose the facts on this issue. As recently as the 2002 midterm under W the GOP actually picked up seats.
BARBARA WALTERS: Mr. President, your supporters say that you saved the banking industry from collapse. And you saved the automobile industry. You have cut taxes for the middle class. If you did all of these things, why are you so unpopular?
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Well…Well, first of all, Barbara, I am… I am not so unpopular…
BARBARA WALTERS: First I gave you the compliment…
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Oh, I appreciate that. Well, first of all, I am not so unpopular. I mean, my…poll numbers are a little higher than Bill Clinton's were at this point in the presidency, or Ronald Reagan's were at this point in his presidency. And, we have gone through a really tough time. And so, no matter how much good stuff we have done, people still are looking at 9.6 percent unemployment and that's frustrating for people. And I don't make any excuses
• No excuses. The man has spent the last 97 weeks shouting from the mountain tops that W and the GOP are to blame for all of our economic woes, world hunger and global warming. With all due respect Mr. President, excuse this.
BARBARA WALTERS: What do you do when you're under stress? Do you have a glass of wine? Do you… I don't know, what do you do? Exercise?
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Yeah, you know, I, I've been pretty religious about exercising.
FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA: Yeah.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: And Michelle is too. And so that helps relieve stress.
• A lot of us were born at night but not last night. We have it on good authority the President regularly chills by chain smoking KOOLS out behind the Rose Garden. As for the First Lady five or six vodka tonics or a pitcher of Bloodies usually does the trick.
An encore performance this was Ba Ba’s second time to interview the leader of the free world since the “Change/Believe” crowd infested the White House. Not surprisingly nothing of value was revealed on either occasion.
In closing, we are happy to report the President is recovering nicely from a basketball injury he received last week. A sharp elbow to the face sent our Dribbler-in-Chief off to the Doc for 12 stitches and some narcotics to ease his pain.
We were right proud to see President Obama on TV walking stoically (CGG) to the limo head held high, chin out, shoulders back on his way for treatment. That being said we were also informed by highly placed credible sources that upon securing himself in the limo out of public view Barack Husain Obama cried like a little girl all the way back to the White House.
Truth be told we don’t have even a frog’s hair worth of proof or evidence to support this claim but that’s our story and we are sticking to it.
