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.

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