Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 109: Cheese Heads & Boneheads
Now the man with the big hat is buying
Drink up while the drinking is free
Drink up to the cowboys a dead or a dying
Drink to my compadres and me
Drink to my compadres and me “The Man With the Big Hat” Jerry Jeff Walker
Wisconsin Public Service Employee Union members, teachers, have adorned their tacky but tolerably cute Cheese Heads made famous by the Super Bowl Champion Packer Nation and in the best of the 60’s style stick it to the man protest mode descended on the State Capital in Madison to whine like a wounded hound dog about how unfairly the new GOP Administration is treating the under paid unappreciated state public servants.
It would seem the new Republican Governor and GOP State Senate’s proposed legislation terminating the insane practice of conducting non salary collective bargaining with the Public Sector Education Union ain’t exactly setten to well with the good teachers of Wisconsin.
Back in our nation’s capital, bless his Bolshevik Labor Union lovin heart he just can’t seem to help it, our “Bonehead-in-Chief” has interjected the power and prestige of the Office of the President in what should be limited to a Statewide reaction at the most.
Mr. Obama has publicly denounced the Governor’s intiative as nothing more than a blatant abuse of power and heavy handed union busting policy.Even more disturbing the President’s personal political machine, Organizing for America, thrusted the long, intrusive, oppressive arm of the Obama Regime into this local shindig providing buses to transport striking government workers to the protests, mobilizing phone banks, rallying protesters from nearby states, and initiating a propaganda campaign promoting class warfare and demonizing Wisconsin GOP Governor Scott Walker and Republican State legislatures.
With the Arab dominos starting to fall one by one in the Middle East and our Administration’s pathetic lack of support for genuine Democratic reforms while concurrently welcoming international terrorist front group, the Muslim Brotherhood, to the negotiations table with open arms and a big sloppy wet kiss; inflation and especially the price of oil rising faster than a scalded dog running home to Momma; a nasty showdown looming with House GOP budget hawks over his record shattering Federal budget deficits and an almost $15 Trillion dollar accumulated national debt what’s so doggone important about an illegal Teacher’s Union walkout in Madison, Wisconsin that it warrants the personal involvement of the most powerful man in the world?
As hard to believe as it might be how does Money, Politics and the 2012 elections strike your fancy? Consider the following:
• Public Sector Unions are our “Bonehead-in-Chief’s” campaign contributions Sugar Daddy
• According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 36.2% of public- sector workers (7.6 million) are Union members and the number of public-sector union members is rising.
• The BLS reports the average annual wage for a state-government employee is now $48,742 compared to $45,155 for a worker in the private sector. The Bureau also found the cost of benefits for state and local government workers has risen 50% more than those for private-sector employees since 2001.
• The President can’t win in 2012 without heavy Public Sector Union support and will say or do anything or destroy anyone to maintain their favor.
• His involvement in this domestic insanity diverts attention from his lack of leadership and a coherent plan for dealing with the chaos in the Middle East
• At heart the President will always be a community/labor organizer and will align himself on the Marxist/Socialist Union’s fighten side at the drop of a hat.
Truth be told public sector unions should probably be outlawed as their credibility, necessity and legality are in serious question. Ronald Reagan recognized this reality when he shut down the air traffic controllers attempted revolution back in the 1980’s and even the Father of American Socialism hiself, FDR, disagreed with their formation.
Public employee unions also have an unfair advantage as they operate outside of the control of the free market as they really don’t have any competition. Public employees aren’t subjected to the consequences of poor performance like the rest of us poor dumb pilgrims in the private sector.
An overwhelming majority of Americans don’t have any heart burn at all over public sector employees kicking in 10 to 20% of the cost of their healthcare and retirement benefits. Considering the fact most in the private sector pay far more and aren’t protected by antiquated tenure systems neither we seriously doubt they should expect a whole lot of sympathy from the rest of us who actually foot the bill for all this extravagance.
High time for the Cheese Heads to get back to work. As for the Boneheads at the White House y’all might consider a little leadership in the Middle East before gas hits $5 bucks a gallon and the entire region sinks to the seventh level of hell.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 108: Obama’s Propaganda Czar Hits the Road
Pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes Say goodbye to the landlord for me
Sons of bitches always bore me
Throw out those L A papers
Moldy box of vanilla wafers
Adios to all this concrete
Gonna get me some dirt road back street
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway
Without getting killed or caught
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
For some land that I ain't bought bought bought
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway “L.A. Freeway” Jerry Jeff Walker
Week 108 finds the “Yes We Can Triple the National Debt In Three Short Years Redistributors of Wealth Financial Wizards” currently infesting the White House busier than the proverbial one legged man at an ass kicking contest. Completely mishandling the regime change in Egypt and the issuance of their literally record shattering deficit and debt 2012 Budget pretty much sucked most of the oxygen out of the room during the course of week.
Flying under the radar in comparison was the resignation and departure of one Robert Lane Gibbs. Obama Propaganda Czar, White House Press Secretary, long time senior Presidential suck buddy and ultra liberal arrogant elitist political hack.
A man who truly mastered the art of diversion; misrepresentation; the non denial denial; plausible deniability; no comment; blame W; demonized opponents; absolutely a total absence of ethics, integrity and/or shred of class influencing his words or deeds; a say anything political shock jock the truth, facts, and morality of a situation be damned; and a revolutionary true believer like his close friend and Comrade Barack Husain Obama working towards and advocating a Marxist/Socialist transformational change in our structure of Governance and private sector capitalist economy and open society.
Another radical left wing hyper partisan Obama faithful who was so disagreeable, devious and just downright obnoxious his departure has been enthusiasticaly welcomed by the equally hyper partisan radical left wing Obama adoring White House Press Corps.
For one so highly placed liberal with the ear of the President and 24/7 access to their exalted progressive champion of the victim class the media elite’s disdain for Obama’s propaganda boy is really quite remarkable. A strong indication of the low esteem, lack of trust, dislike and disrespect the media, fellow White House political hacks and public developed for the young Mr. Gibbs.
A genuine bonafide ultra liberal political protégée Gibbs experienced a meteoric rise in the Democrat party at a young and tender age. A review of his upbringing, formative adolescent years in the rural south, and early career certainly provides some insight into how this wayward son of the South ended up taking such an extreme and radical turn to the political left.
Consider the following milestones in Comrade Gibbs Marxist/Socialist indoctrination:
• Born and bred in Auburn, Alabama
• Parents, Nancy and Robert Coleman Gibbs. Liberal political activist, rumor has it they were actually KGB operatives
• Parents introduced young Bobby to left wing groups including ACORN and the ACLU
• Gibbs attended Auburn City Schools and graduated from Auburn High School where he played saxophone in the band and goalie on the soccer team which was thought of as a communist sport back in the late 1980’s in the small college town home to the SEC Auburn Tigers where football is considered a religion.
• After graduating Bobby spent the summer visiting Moscow, Beijing and Havana allegedly to attend soccer camps
• Gibbs went on to graduate from a superb southern institute of higher education, North Carolina State University, with a B.A. in political science and Russian Studies and a Masters in Obnoxious, Elitist, Boneheaded Behavior
• Gibbs started his radical left wing political career working for Alabama Congressman Glen Browder. He later joined the staffs of several other liberal Senate Democrats, did a stint with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee before taking the position of press secretary with ultra liberal head case John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign
• Gibbs joined Barack Obama's 2004 U.S. Senate campaign as communications guru and the rest is U.S. Socialist Party history
With his bleeding heart liberal extreme left wing credentials and pedigree firmly established Mr. Gibbs quickly became a member of the President’s exclusive inner circle, was appointed White House Propaganda Czar, and assumed the role of the public face of the Administration conducting daily press briefings at the White House. Reckon he was a communications wizard behind the scenes because his public persona revealed a shallow, vindictive, ultra partisan, dishonest, evasive, thin skinned gaffe machine.
Bobby boy sure enough could be counted on for a few daily whoppers and misstatements only Veep Uncle Joe Biden could rival. As a tribute to his public service following are several of Mr. Gibb’s most memorable remarks:
• In response to Sarah Palin’s Facebook note about “death panels “you reporters cover a lot of process and you cover a lot of — you cover noise and heat and light” – Condescending to say the least
• “The stimulus saved or created three million jobs“– Classic propaganda tactic. Say it loud and often and hope the masses start to believe it. The truth is irrelevant
• “President Obama is not a Socialist.” See above
• A reporter asked if Ahmadinejad was “the legitimate president of Iran” and Gibbs responded that he was “the elected leader” – Damn straight Bobby, the epitome of a free democracy
• “President Obama is not a Muslim” See above
• Gibbs responded to Dick Cheney’s remarks that the U.S. was less safe under Obama than it had been under Bush by quipping, “I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy … so they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal.” - When you’re the White House Press Secretary remember your southern upbringing and respond with class and show a little respect for the former Vice President. There is no excuse for behaving like your tacky Yankee pals
• “President Obama does not advocate the redistribution of wealth” – See above
• Mr. Gibbs attempted to spin VP Biden’s infamous “closed container” remarks on swine flu into a handy health advisory. Jake Tapper called him out for not saying anything “remotely close to what Biden said.” Gibbs’s response? “I understand what he said, and I’m telling you what he meant to say.”
• “The President hasn’t had a smoke now for over six months” – Yea right, Hillary looks good in a mini skirt too
• To summarize, in only 108 weeks the caustic Gibbs declared war on Fox News; insulted our strongest and most important allies the Limeys and Israel; accused fellow democrats who remarked about Obama having similarities with W should be drug tested; less than 10% of the time provided direct and honest answers to reporters’ questions; had no comment, lied, refused to answer, deflected a question to other officials, unjustly blamed W for their screw ups on over 5,400 occasions and just like their annual deficits and national debt have shattered all previous records by a country mile
It’s high time for Mr. Gibbs to catch the L.A. Freeway, take a right on some dirt road back street, head down that road in a cloud of smoke and pull a D Day – “Where abouts unknown“ for the rest of his natural born days. Trust us, he can sleep like a well fed recently changed fat baby at night comforted by the knowledge his propaganda machine misinformed, led a stray, brainwashed, deceived, hoodwinked, falsely accused, and secretly exploited hundreds of millions poor dumb pilgrims from the tip of Maine to our southern most California border with Mexico.
Not a bad record of achievement for a no count white trash tragically misguided cracker we are sad to say is a fellow southerner from Auburn, Alabama who for damn sure should have known better.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 107: Obama’s New Covenant With US Business – Real Collaboration or the Continuation of His Socialist Revolution?
It ain't nobody 's business kid
Who in the world I do business with
Ain't nobody's business but mine
Ain't nobody's business sonny
Where in the world I spend my money
Ain't nobody's business but mine
Champagne don't drive me crazy
Cocaine don't make me lazy
Ain't nobody's business but mine
Said, way down in Costa Rica
Smoke my hash and drink my liquor
Ain't nobody's business but mine “Champagne Don’t Drive Me Crazy” Jerry Jeff Walker
Barack “Sam Walton, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, T Boone Pickens, the Donald, Jack Welch, Steve Forbes” Obama is standing tall and speaking up just like he had good sense bout his great support, respect, admiration and gratitude towards the U.S. private sector business community. He sure enough sounds like an open market loving; free trader; deregulator; small government advocating capitalist.
To hear his supporters, White House political hacks, left wing media elite types and even some severely confused moderate/conservative commentators and journalist President Obama is the best friend business has had in the Oval Office in years. They point to his new business oriented Chief of Staff, senior political hack Bill Daley, the compromise with the GOP on extending W’s tax rates and his new Jobs Creation Committee that’s chock full of corporate big wigs as examples of Mr. Obama’s pragmatic move towards the political center.
We certainly don’t wish to be the fly in the ointment; bearer of bad news; water on the fire; messenger of ill tidings; hitch in the ole get along; the proverbial terd in the punch bowl but all this noise about moderation, pragmatism and moving to the center ain’t nothing but a bunch of malarkey. In our humble opinion anyone buying this load of manure is not only one can short of a six pack they are also crazier than a run over dog and an entire family of outhouse rats.
Examples of our MBA-in-Chief’s continued Socialist Revolution are more abundant than white on rice. A few examples include the following:
• Obamacare – the ultimate objective being a total government takeover of the healthcare industry and a massive redistribution of wealth
• His plans to bail out States buried in debt with another massive redistribution of wealth greatly favoring labor and public sector unions
• Literally thousands of new regulations currently being written designed to take control of the financial industry. So intrusive and oppressive they could easily be mistaken for Soviet, Cuban and/or Chinese policies.
• Doing an end around the legislature and directing the EPA to establish intrusive emissions regulations dramatically increasing current energy cost in an effort to advance his green agenda
• Restricting domestic oil exploration and drilling putting hundreds of thousands out of work to advance his radical green agenda
• Friday night public readings of the Communist Manifesto in the East Room at the White House
• Come as Your Favorite Nekkid Marxist/Socialist Dictator Parties at the VP’s place once a quarter following Friday night’s public reading.
Despite his radical left wing agenda the President and his dominions point to the State of the Union speech and his address to the US Chamber of Commerce this week as indicators of his newly found appreciation for private sector commerce. His proposals to freeze spending at current levels, targeted tax credits and offer to tweak Obamacare are all being cited as examples of the Administration’s pro business agenda.
True to form these and other alleged Obama pro business initiatives are nothing more than empty rhetoric, smoke and mirrors and political diversions. Considering government spending has increased by over 80% since Mr. Obama slithered into office a freeze at current levels is just another arrogant and elitist scheme inflicted on all of us poor dumb pilgrims by the Yes We Can Steal You Blind With Impunity Gang.
A review of the President’s Chamber of Commerce speech reveals more big intrusive government, irresponsible spending of other people’s money, and another step or two towards Comrade Obama’s vision of a shinning Utopian Commune on a emerald green hillside in the land of the free and home of the brave. Following are a few thinly veiled examples of ideas and initiatives advocating his Bolshevik agenda from his Chamber address:
• OBAMA: Thank you, Tom, for your introduction. It's good to be here today at the Chamber of Commerce. I'm here in the interest of being more neighborly. Maybe we would have gotten off on a better foot if I had brought over a fruitcake when we first moved in.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: We seriously doubt sending VP Biden and/or AG Holder over would have improved relations.
• OBAMA: These forces are as unstoppable as they are powerful. But combined with a brutal and devastating recession, they have also shaken the faith of the American people - in the institutions of business and government. They see a widening chasm of wealth and opportunity in this country, and they wonder if the American Dream is slipping away.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: A frequent Obama tactic the advancement of unjustified class warfare claims
• OBAMA: But I want to be clear: even as we make America the best place on earth to do business, businesses also have a responsibility to America. Now, I understand the challenges you face. I understand that you're under incredible pressure to cut costs and keep your margins up. I understand the significance of your obligations to your shareholders. I get it. But as we work with you to make America a better place to do business, ask yourselves what you can do for America. Ask yourselves what you can do to hire American workers, to support the American economy, and to invest in this nation. That's what I want to talk about today - the responsibilities we all have to secure the future we all share.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: How does a man who has never held a leadership position in the private sector “get it”? Simple answer – he’s absolutely clueless
• OBAMA: And that's why we're making investments today in the next generation of big ideas - in biotechnology, information technology, and clean energy technology….. We also have a responsibility as a nation to provide our people and our businesses with the fastest, most reliable way to move goods and information. The costs to business from the outdated and inadequate infrastructure we currently have are enormous. That's why I want to put more people to work rebuilding crumbling roads and bridges. And that's why I've proposed connecting 80 percent of the country to high-speed rail, and making it possible for companies to put high-speed internet coverage in reach of virtually all Americans.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: The government selecting winners and losers in the private sector through a process of intrusive social engineering is a sure fire recipe for disaster
• OBAMA: To make room for these investments in education, innovation, and infrastructure, government also has a responsibility to cut the spending that we just can't afford. That's why I've promised to veto any bill larded up with earmarks. And that's why I've proposed that we freeze annual domestic spending for the next five years, which would reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade, and bring this spending down to the lowest share of our economy since Eisenhower was president. And I am eager to work with both parties to take additional steps across the budget to put our nation on sounder fiscal footing.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: Investment is Obama’s latest euphuism for reckless deficit busting spending of other people’s money. As previously discussed the proposed spending freeze is an intentialy misleading shell game. $400 billion in bogus savings that if actually ever realized wouldn’t even put a dent in Obama’s trillion dollar annual deficits projected for as far out as the eye can see
• OBAMA: The last barriers we're trying to remove are outdated and unnecessary regulations. I've ordered a government-wide review, and if there are rules on the books that are needlessly stifling job creation and economic growth, we will fix them.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. The Obama Administration taking credit for pro business regulatory reform is akin to the President’s good friends the racist Rev. Wright claiming he just loves and adores white folk and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers denouncing violence as a legitimate form of political activism
• OBAMA: But ultimately, winning the future is not just about what the government can do to help you succeed. It's about what you can do to help America succeed…. Of course, your responsibility goes beyond recognizing the need for certain standards and safeguards. If we're fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports to help you compete, the benefits can't just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They should be shared by American workers, who need to know that expanding trade and opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line. We cannot go back to the kind of economy - and culture - we saw in the years leading up to the recession, where growth and gains in productivity just didn't translate into rising incomes and opportunity for the middle class.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: Has this bonehead ever had an original thought. Obviously a blatant case of plagiarism stealing JFK’s famous quote without giving credit or being called on it by the main stream media elite. And by the way the government exists to serve the citizens including the private sector business community. Emphasizing worker/labor rights and unfairly blaming predecessors (W) for imaginary transgressions are tactics right out of the Karl Marx playbook.
After all the acrimony; accusations; name calling; insults; mistrust; and venomous rhetoric our “Chairman of the Board-in-Chief“ has heaped upon U.S. private sector businesses do recent White House claims of a mutually beneficial newly forged collaboration hold water? No sir, no way, no how.
Just wait for the next “crisis” that needs exploitation and the President will be blaming those greedy SOB’s on Wall Street in a New York minute.

• OBAMA: And that's why we're making investments today in the next generation of big ideas - in biotechnology, information technology, and clean energy technology….. We also have a responsibility as a nation to provide our people and our businesses with the fastest, most reliable way to move goods and information. The costs to business from the outdated and inadequate infrastructure we currently have are enormous. That's why I want to put more people to work rebuilding crumbling roads and bridges. And that's why I've proposed connecting 80 percent of the country to high-speed rail, and making it possible for companies to put high-speed internet coverage in reach of virtually all Americans.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: The government selecting winners and losers in the private sector through a process of intrusive social engineering is a sure fire recipe for disaster
• OBAMA: To make room for these investments in education, innovation, and infrastructure, government also has a responsibility to cut the spending that we just can't afford. That's why I've promised to veto any bill larded up with earmarks. And that's why I've proposed that we freeze annual domestic spending for the next five years, which would reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade, and bring this spending down to the lowest share of our economy since Eisenhower was president. And I am eager to work with both parties to take additional steps across the budget to put our nation on sounder fiscal footing.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: Investment is Obama’s latest euphuism for reckless deficit busting spending of other people’s money. As previously discussed the proposed spending freeze is an intentialy misleading shell game. $400 billion in bogus savings that if actually ever realized wouldn’t even put a dent in Obama’s trillion dollar annual deficits projected for as far out as the eye can see
• OBAMA: The last barriers we're trying to remove are outdated and unnecessary regulations. I've ordered a government-wide review, and if there are rules on the books that are needlessly stifling job creation and economic growth, we will fix them.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. The Obama Administration taking credit for pro business regulatory reform is akin to the President’s good friends the racist Rev. Wright claiming he just loves and adores white folk and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers denouncing violence as a legitimate form of political activism
• OBAMA: But ultimately, winning the future is not just about what the government can do to help you succeed. It's about what you can do to help America succeed…. Of course, your responsibility goes beyond recognizing the need for certain standards and safeguards. If we're fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports to help you compete, the benefits can't just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They should be shared by American workers, who need to know that expanding trade and opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line. We cannot go back to the kind of economy - and culture - we saw in the years leading up to the recession, where growth and gains in productivity just didn't translate into rising incomes and opportunity for the middle class.
THOUGHTS OF OBAMA FROM BAMA: Has this bonehead ever had an original thought. Obviously a blatant case of plagiarism stealing JFK’s famous quote without giving credit or being called on it by the main stream media elite. And by the way the government exists to serve the citizens including the private sector business community. Emphasizing worker/labor rights and unfairly blaming predecessors (W) for imaginary transgressions are tactics right out of the Karl Marx playbook.
After all the acrimony; accusations; name calling; insults; mistrust; and venomous rhetoric our “Chairman of the Board-in-Chief“ has heaped upon U.S. private sector businesses do recent White House claims of a mutually beneficial newly forged collaboration hold water? No sir, no way, no how.
Just wait for the next “crisis” that needs exploitation and the President will be blaming those greedy SOB’s on Wall Street in a New York minute.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 106: Barack “Ronald Wilson Reagan” Obama
I'm going to be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
Thought true love could have been a contender
Are you there?
Say a prayer for the Pretender
Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender The Pretender, Jackson Browne
One thing for damn sure our Pretender-in-Chief and his gang of Hope/Change/Believe/and Yes We Canners truly are audacious in word and deed. Misguided, corrupt, incompitent, devious, hypocritical, decitful and even dangerous but still audacious just the same.
After all when considering the damage inflicted on our freedoms and the Constitution in only 106 weeks by this gang ain’t no never mind about it they have pursued a bold and ambitious agenda. Socialist, subversive, and anti-American but also still audacious just the same.
Examples abound:
• Obamacare – Government takeover of US Healthcare System
• A trillion dollar stimulus bill, the most expensive in the history of the civilized world, that yielded double digit unemployment and anemic economic growth
• Nationalization of US auto industry
• Appointment of self described Marxist/Socialist to high level staff positions
• Piled up record breaking 1.5 trillion annual deficit
• Added 5 trillion to national debt. An audacious 50% increase in two years.
• Claims they saved the economy from sliding into another great depression
• Further claim they believe in balanced budgets and fiscal responsibility
• Attempts to close down domestic oil industry
• Intrusive job killing financial regulation
Their latest completely over the top totally absurd propaganda initiative is an attempt to position our 44th President, Barack Husain Obama, as our 40th President, Ronald Reagan incarnate. They have unsuccessfully tried for months to portray President Obama as Abe Lincoln’s second coming which never caught on because the American people would never confuse a truly great man of substance, vision, courage, and integrity with a Bolshevik, light weight, empty suit full of empty rhetoric of questionable character.
As absurd as Mr. Obama’s pretending to be Ronald Reagan is to anyone with a lick of sense the White House propaganda machine had no trouble what so ever recruiting several members of the media elite main stream press to advance this ridiculous story. It all started with Breaking news urgently relayed by serious looking correspondents wearing Tommy Bahama Hawaiian print shirts informing us the President was reading a few Reagan biographies during his Christmas vacation in the Islands.
Next thing you know (ole Jed’s a millionaire) several prominent liberal anchors and journalist are talking about Reagan and Obama being identical twins separated at birth by evil GOP political operatives. Ultra left wing head cases promoting this insanity include ABC’s resident Jihadist sympathizer Christiane Amanpour; Political hack and hyper partisan flake Chris Mathews at MSNBC; and still cute, perky and dumb as a bag of hammers CBS’s Katie Courik who all dutifully remarked how Reaganess Obama’s performance was at his State of the Union is Socialist speech last week.
To top this charade off Time Magazine has a photo of the happy couple on their cover. President Obama smiling from one giant gargantuan humongous ear to the other embraced by the Gipper with the caption “Peas and Carrots, Political Soul Mates, Tight as a Tick, Obama Truly is Reagan Reincarnate.”
Only problem with the White House’s most recent propaganda campaign to hoodwink we the people again is the simple fact that in reality these two gentlemen have absolutely nothing in common. Truth be told they are polar opposites as different as night and day; weak and strong; right and wrong; as far apart on the issues as Sarah Palin and Rosie “Chocolate Covered Cream Filled” O’Donnell.
Following is a comparative analyses of the life and times of Ronald Wilson Reagan and Barack Husain Obama:
• REAGAN – Conservative icon, strong advocate of American exceptionalism and our leadership role in the world
OBAMA – Radical left wing secular progressive Marxist/Socialist. Blame America first apologist
• REAGAN – Born Tampico, IL, 1911
OBAMA – Born Honolulu, HI 1961
• REAGAN – Raised in small towns in Illinois, especially Dixon. Attended church religiously, played sports, worked as lifeguard.
OBAMA – Raised in Honolulu, Kenya, Moscow and Havana. Secular upbringing, played bball, and spent free time smoking dope, doing vodka shots and snorting cocaine
• REAGAN – Graduated from Eureka College with a double major in Economics and Sociology
OBAMA – Occidental, Columbia, Harvard Law. Undergraduate degrees in Political Science, Socialist Revolutions, and Teleprompter Oratory
• REAGAN – Served stateside (poor eyesight) during WWII as an officer in the Army Air Corps
OBAMA – Sees military as a good photo opp
• REAGAN – Actor, B movies and TV. GE Spokesperson
OBAMA – Community Organizer, Socialist advocacy group ACORN
• REAGAN – President, Screen Actors Guild; two term Governor of California OBAMA – Four term Illinois State Senator. US Senator for twoish years
• REAGAN – Led with honor and distinction; won the cold war; cut taxes; championed supply side economics; established conservatism as prominent political movement of the 21s century
OBAMA – Leads by a constant barrage of misinformation; fear mongering; class warfare; race baiting; creating the illusion of a crisis and a sense of urgency on every policy initiative
• REAGAN – Political philosophy and viewpoint in his own words:
'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'
'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.'
'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.'
'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.'
'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.'
'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.'
'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.'
'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.'
OBAMA - In his own words:
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,"
"I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets."
"Political discussions, the kind at Occidental had once seemed so intense and purposeful, came to take on the flavor of the socialist conferences I sometimes attended at Cooper Union"
"Well, Charlie, what I’ve said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness."
"We're not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money …”
“My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.”
Reckon President Obama pretending to be Ronald Reagan ain’t the worse thing that could happen. Just imagine how bad it might be if he had selected Jimmy Carter.
Besides, maybe some of the Gippers freedom loving morning in America optimism will rub off on our Bolshevik-in-Chief. Doubtful, but wouldn’t that be some change we could all believe in.
