Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 131: “Natural Born Liar”

Well, we split the road at Norwood, and he just shook my hand.
He said, "I'll see you some place, friend," but you know he never has.
But we were that free then, just walking down the road,
Never really caring where that highway goes.

Yeah, Stoney was a liar (a bullshitter!) ain't no doubt about it.
It was just the way he told things, and you never want to doubt him.
'Cause he kept you going when the road got rough,
And brought you through the lean times by making it up

“Stoney”, Jerry Jeff Walker

Ain’t no never mind about it as sad as it is to say the President of the United States of America continues to make comments that strongly suggest the man is a bona fide “Natural Born Liar”. The words truthful, honesty, integrity and trustworthy sure enough just don’t often collide in the same sentence with the name Barack Husain Obama.

Standing right on up there behind the Presidential Podium just as if he has good sense at another White House made for TV address Monday night Mr. Obama whined, threw a hissy fit, and lied like a cheap rug to “We the People” about the Country’s current debt/financial crisis. True to form our inept, incompetent and devious “He That Hasn’t Got a Clue-in-Chief” played the race, class, generational warfare and victim card early and often during his brief fear mongering diatribe Monday evening.

Employing another tried and true diversion tactic the President blamed everyone from W, the Tea Party, corporate jet owners, Fox News and global climate change for our pending fiscal train wreck. To hear the man talk he’s just an innocent bystander victimized by W’s big oil and war mongering policies.

Our left wing extremist main stream press along with the President and his Democrat comrades seem to be inflicted with a bad case of selective memory and the lock jaw when it comes to this gang’s Trillion dollar plus deficits and 4 trillion added to the debt in only 2 and half years in office. Monday night’s BS session sure as hell weren’t no exception.

Independent political watchdog group, “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire”, rated the President’s Monday evening Debt speech on a scale of 1 – “typical misleading but open to debate statement” to 5- “unabashed, shameless, deceitful, nefarious, insidious lies”. As usual Mr. Obama scored 5’s across the boards.

Following are some of his most egregious lies:

• For the last decade, we have spent more money than we take in. In the year 2000, the government had a budget surplus. But instead of using it to pay off our debt, the money was spent on trillions of dollars in new tax cuts, while two wars and an expensive prescription drug program were simply added to our nation’s credit card.
• Only in DC are tax cuts, the folks keeping more of their money, considered as expenditures. It is also curious that every time liberals whine about the expense of two wars they fail to mention a small detail that called us to arms in the first place – 9/11
• As a result, the deficit was on track to top $1 trillion the year I took office. To make matters worse, the recession meant that there was less money coming in, and it required us to spend even more – on tax cuts for middle-class families; on unemployment insurance; on aid to states so we could prevent more teachers and firefighters and police officers from being laid off. These emergency steps also added to the deficit.
• To make matters worse, the recession meant that there was less money coming in, and it required us to spend even more. That’s worth repeating- To make matters worse, the recession meant that there was less money coming in, and it required us to spend even more. Only a boneheaded Community Organizing Marxist/Socialist would advocate such an absolutely asinine fiscal policy
• The only reason this balanced approach isn’t on its way to becoming law right now is because a significant number of Republicans in Congress are insisting on a cuts-only approach – an approach that doesn’t ask the wealthiest Americans or biggest corporations to contribute anything at all. And because nothing is asked of those at the top of the income scales, such an approach would close the deficit only with more severe cuts to programs we all care about – cuts that place a greater burden on working families.
• The President’s idea of a balanced approach is to soak the rich and appease the victim class. He says they don’t contribute anything at all and truth be told the top 2% of wage earners already pay 75% of the tab.
• Understand – raising the debt ceiling does not allow Congress to spend more money. It simply gives our country the ability to pay the bills that Congress has already racked up. In the past, raising the debt ceiling was routine. Since the 1950s, Congress has always passed it, and every President has signed it. President Reagan did it 18 times. George W. Bush did it 7 times. And we have to do it by next Tuesday, August 2nd, or else we won’t be able to pay all of our bills.
• Bills Congress has already racked up our over taxed ass. Does the Stimulus, Auto bail out or Obamacare ring a bell Clyde?
• The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn’t vote for a dysfunctional government. So I’m asking you all to make your voice heard. If you want a balanced approach to reducing the deficit, let your Member of Congress know. If you believe we can solve this problem through compromise, send that message.
• The American people voted for divided government for one indisputable reason – to put an end to the Obama Administration’s insane, irresponsible, criminal, Socialist spending spree.
• Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America
• Allah the great, Allah the benevolent, unite the collective masses as one Citizen of the World

President Obama’s address to the nation Monday night was chock full of enough lies to choke two mules and a full grown bull elephant. Another masterful performance worthy of any “Natural Born Liar“.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 130: “Living On Borrowed Time”

Lookin' back at my hard luck days
I really do have to laugh
Workin' in a dive for twenty-six dollars
Spendin' it all on draft
We were hungry hard luck heroes
Tryin' just to stay alive
So we'd go down to the corner grocery
This is how we'd survive.

Who's gonna steal the peanut butter
I'll get a can of sardines
Runnin' up and down the aisles of the Mini-Mart
Stickin' food in our jeans
We never took more than we could eat
There was plenty left on the racks
We all swore if we ever got rich
We would pay the Mini-Mart back
Yes Sir, yes Sir
We would pay the Mini-Mart back.

“Peanut Butter Conspiracy”, Jimmy Buffett

Uncle Sammy is leveraged out the proverbial ying yang. Our Federal Government is literally in debt up to its irresponsible criminal eyeballs.

Deficit spending, borrowing from Peter to pay Paul; generational theft; living far beyond our means; biting off far more than we can chew has sure enough been SOP for our great nation almost since day one. Truth be told with the exception of our first two Chief Executives, Washington and Adams, who also had the benefit of fiscally responsible Congressional Delegations, most every other Administration and Congress has had no problem at all with conducting the Country’s business with borrowed or newly printed greenbacks.

President Andrew Jackson and the GOP majority Congress back in the 1990’s after decades of excessive Democrat spenders of other people’s money being two additional notable exceptions. The latter famously known for dragging “Saturday Night Bill” Clinton kicking and screaming to end Welfare as we knew it and to budget surpluses not seen in these parts for decades.

Our current Administration, the Socialist Obama regime, has borrowed, printed and spent more money than any government in the history of the civilized world. This gang of financial wizards have increased spending by almost 30%, achieved never seen before trillion dollar plus annual deficits, and added over four trillion dollars to our accumulated national debt in a record shattering two and half years.

To give this fiscal catastrophe some historical perspective federal spending has averaged about 20 percent of gross domestic product since WWII. Mr. Obama and his fellow Democrat Comrades have raised that to 24 or 25 percent.

Our national debt as a percentage of gross domestic product has increased from a manageable 40 percent in 2008 to 62 percent this year and an estimated 72 percent in 2012. It's headed to 90 percent a point when governments face fiscal collapse.

Many of our greatest statesmen, thinkers, political philosophers and thought leaders have eloquently remarked about the evils of big government, irresponsible spending, and the unsustainable accumulation of debt. The prophetic accuracy and relevance to current challenges of many of their observations is truly remarkable.

Consider the following:

Thomas Jefferson
• It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
• I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
• My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
• The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Bob Hope
• A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it.
Ben Franklin
• Rather go to bed without dinner than to rise in debt.
• If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some.

Mark Twain
• People are much more willing to lend you books than bookcases.
• A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.

Will Rogers
• You could transfer Congress over to run Standard Oil or General Motors, and they would have both things bankrupt in two years.
• You can't break a man that don't borrow; he may not have anything, but Boy! he can look the World in the face and say, "I don't owe you Birds a nickel." You will say, (if everyone stops borrowing) what will all the Bankers do? I don't care what they do. Let 'em go to work, if there is any job any of them could earn a living at. Banking and After-Dinner Speaking are two of the most Non-essential industries we have in this country. I am ready to reform if they are.
• Borrowing money on what's called 'easy terms,' is a one-way ticket to the Poor House. If you think it ain't a Sucker Game, why is your Banker the richest man in your Town? Why is your Bank the biggest and finest building in your Town? Instead of passing Bills to make borrowing easy, if Congress had passed a Bill that no Person could borrow a cent of Money from any other person, they would have gone down in History as committing the greatest bit of Legislation in the World.
• Why don't somebody print the truth about our present economic situation? We spent six years of wild buying on credit -- everything under the sun, whether we needed it or not -- and now we are having to pay for 'em, and we are howling like a pet coon.
• This would be a great world to dance in if we didn't have to pay the fiddler
• Politics are receiving a lot of attention because we have nothing else to interest us. No nation in the history of the world was ever sitting as pretty. If we want anything, all we have to do is go and buy it on credit. So that leaves us without any economic problem whatever, except perhaps some day to have to pay for them. But we are certainly not thinking about that this early.
• If you got a dollar, soak it away, put it in a savings bank, bury it, do anything but spend it. Spending when we didn't have it put us where we are today. Saving when we've got it will get us back to where we was before we went cuckoo.
• There is two things that can disrupt business in this country. One is war and the other is a meeting of the Federal Reserve
Winston Churchill
• We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle


We don’t know if Mr. Buffett actually ever paid the Minnie Mart back or not. We do know Uncle Sammy won’t even put a dent in our massive national debt with Comrade Obama in the White House.

November 2012 can’t get here soon enough.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 129: “President Obama Turns White Over Debt Ceiling”









He's older now, he's got grey hair and all
He's got two teenage kids, John and Paul
One of them is having the same problems he did too
He just says son hold on here's what you've got to do

Got to hold your head up high if you're gonna see at all
Got to put your foot above the rest if you're gonna rise at all
Got to spread your wings and fly if you don't want to fall
'Cause it's the road that you choose that'll take you through it all
“The Road You Choose”, Jerry Jeff Walker

Before any of y’all pitch a conniption fit be assured we aren’t playing the race card, there is absolutely no reason at all to contact the PC storm troopers, and we are sure enough not suggesting Mr. Obama has by any means pulled a Michael Jackson and dyed his skin white. All we are talking bout here is the truly astonishing speed in which our rapidly aging“ARRPMember-in-Chief’s” short cropped pitch black hair has turned a powdery white.

















All Presidents seem to show signs of accelerated aging. Reckon when you consider the high stress level that comes with the demanding challenges and daunting responsibilities confronting the leader of the free world it’s not surprising how much these folks physically age during their terms in office.

A comparison of the before and after photos of several recent occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. sure enough substantiates our observation. The physical breakdown of several of our former Commander-in-Chiefs is truly a sight to behold.



























W actually held up fairly well considering the unrellenting unfounded attacks from the hyper-partisan left wing press; 9/11; The War on Terrorism; Katrina; two years of a Democrat controlled Congress including having to deal with the likes of Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid. The latter which would surly drive most folks to strong spirits, narcotics and not only white hair but massive and premature balding.


The rigors of office had a seriously adverse impact on former President Clinton. Hard living, skirt chasing and playing loose with the truth also had a profound influence on Saturday Night Bill’s post Presidency appearance.























Papa Bush just like his boy W weathered his one term in office without a lot of outward signs of stress. A genuine, bona fide WWll fighter pilot and war hero this patriot was well prepared to deal with stress and strain of the Presidency.



































President Reagan on the right doesn’t look a day older than a much younger version of himself serving as Governor of California. In fact, the old Cold War Warrior’s youthful exuberance spread confidence and pride faster than kudzu throughout a previously shell shocked and downright seriously wayward nation.

Jimmy “Peanut” returned to his no count white trash ways after a truly disastrous 4 years in office. The worst President in US history right up to the inauguration of one Barack Husain Obama. His mental, intellectual, and physical decline during what can only be described as a train wreck of a Presidency was a national disgrace and an international disaster of unprecedented proportions.
























President Obama’s truly alarming rapidly declining physical well being including his premature graying/ white hair has obviously been greatly impacted by the extremely stressful environment inherent to the highest office in the land. That being said most of the stress and strain thrust upon Mr. Obama’s narrow shoulders has been self inflicted.

Examples of this self inflicted stress abound. Following are a few of the most egregious examples:

• He selected a VP who is truly dumber than a bag of hammers that can be counted on for at least one major daily gaffe
• He turned his political agenda over to two individuals who are both dumber than a bag of rocks, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid. Surely two of the most corrupt and incompetent political hacks to ever serve in Congress
• His undeterred insistence to shove hated Socialist policy initiatives down our collective throats including Obamacare and the Nationalization of the auto, energy, and financial industries.
• Conducting the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of the civilized world benefiting unions and his many other Marxist/Socialist constituents
• Providing aid and comfort to the enemy by announcing the exact time and number of troops we’ll be sending home from Afghanistan. The worry and stress brought on by this boneheaded action is certainly well deserved
• Even though he plays twice a week the President’s inability to break 90 is infuriating. Would seem he sucks at golf as well as leadership and governing

With stress levels this high the President has a lot more to worry about than just his hair turning white. As we can see in the before and after shots below things could get real ugly before all is said and done.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 128: “Happy 235th Birthday Uncle Sammy”

Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday
Better think about the wish I made
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone Just one more candle and a trip around the sun
“Trip Around the Sun”, Jimmy Buffett

On Monday of Week 128 of the Barack “I have no idea how old my children are” Obama Administration our great nation celebrated it’s 235th Birthday. Our Birthday challenged Chief Executive had absolutely no idea how old Uncle Sammy turned on Monday but reckon we shouldn’t expect much more from a man who can’t seem to even remember the ages of his own youngins.

July 4th, 1776 was a milestone day in our County’s formation as The Declaration of Independence was officially signed and ratified by the Continental Congress. A brilliant proclamation telling King George and the Britts in no uncertain terms what for; no more stifling taxes; the hell with oppressive tyrannical big Government rule and regulations; time to pack up your red coated happy asses and set sail back across the pond.

Turns out the current occupant of the White House, Barack “Mr. Constitutional Scholar” Obama is a big fan of the Declaration of Independence, at least a modified version as revised by the President his self and his Socialist comrades. We have it on good authority he thinks so highly of his version of the Declaration that he carries a copy of the document with him at all times along with his two other most favorite political manuscripts the Communist Manifesto and the Five Pillars of Islam.

“Thoughts of Obama From Bama” has obtained copies of the President’s abbreviated versions of these documents and we are just tickled pink to include all three manuscripts in this week’s Column. The first document is a four point summary of the President’s political bible, The Communist Manifesto, written by one of our Chief Executive’s most admired historical figures, Karl Marx:

THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO

• Bourgeois and Proletarians – Advocacy of Class Warfare. A favored and frequently used Obama political tactic
• Proletarians and Communists – Elimination of private property, consolidation of power with a Central Government, communal equality. Three core tenants of the Obama agenda
• Socialist and Communist Literature – Propaganda. A key and vital Obama political weapon.
• Position of the Communists in Relation to the Various Opposition Parties - The quest for world dominance.


THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM

• Shahada, the Creed - There is no god except God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God (Highly placed sources confirm the President often mumbles this phrase under his breath right before, and most often missing, any putt longer than 3 feet)
• Salat, Daily prayers (Sure enough might xplain the Secret Service Agent on the President’s detail lugging around the prayer rug and foot bath)
• Sawm, Fasting during Ramadan (Would certainly confirm how a man who travels with no less than 6 private chefs maintains his girlish figure)
• Zakat, Almsgiving (Justifies all the charitable donations to ACORN and other criminal Socialist organizations)
• Hajj, Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime (Finally some illumination on the many mysterious extended disappearances young Barack was known for during his drug hazed and delinquent college days)


THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE (REVISED OBAMA VERSION WITH REVISIONS DENOTED RED)

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's Allah entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by Allah with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the government, --The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

(All the specific Facts included in the original document have been omitted for space saving purposes)

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge, Allah the Great, Allah the Benevolent, of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

In solidarity with our comrades in the labor class we ask for Allah’s guidance and blessings as we endeavor to create the United Socialist States of America.


It is certainly more than fitten for all Americans to read the unedited original version of the Declaration of Independence at least annually especially on Uncle Sammy’s Birthday. The parallels as so eloquently described in Jefferson’s brilliant political proclamation between King George’s tyrannical, big oppressive government, and excessive taxation with the Obama Administration are truly disturbing.

High time We the People tell our modern day King George, Barack Husain Obama, what for and send his happy ass packing back to Chicago, Hawaii, Jakarta, Moscow, Beijing, Mecca, Tehran or wherever he can openly and without shame pursue his own personal version of the Declaration of Independence.

Happy 235th birthday Uncle Sammy and happy trails Mr. President. May you and your Marxist/Socialist comrades go in peace with the blessings of the all powerful and benevolent Allah.

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