Thoughts On Obama From Bama

Week 165: “The Road We Traveled”

Lace your shoes with country blues Ramble down that dusty ole road

Take your money down in the town
Gonna get rich in the game
Come on home drunk at day break
You got no room to complain

The pot can't call the kettle black
Cause the train's all runnin' on the same ole track
Can't feel nothing but your life flyin' by
You got trouble on your hands, trouble on your mind

What in the world can a poor boy do
But let his ole ramblin' roll
The Pot Can't Call the Kettle Black, Jerry Jeff Walker

Got ourselves a big ole bag of buttered popcorn, a ten pound Nestlé’s Crunch Bar, an ice cold oversized Coke, and settled back in our genuine nogahide lazyboys to watch the latest Hollywood hit, a little diddy titled “The Road We Traveled”. A seventeen minute ho-ax of a documentary about the Obama Administration’s alleged historical and wildly successful first term in office.

Instead we should of brought a barf bag; nose plugs to avoid the stench from all the BS; our best pair of manly footwear to wade through the piles of horse manure; a big box of tissue to wipe away the tears from the prolonged hysterical gut wrenching laughter; and a bottle of Beam to help keep it all in perspective. As for referring to this classic piece of propaganda as a documentary, narrated by Forrest, Forrest Gump, it ranks right on up there with the Wizard of Oz and Lord of the Rings as one of the greatest fictional fantasy thrillers of all time.

At least we now know how they plan to frame their argument for the general election in addition to their paint the GOP candidate as the anti-Christ/Hitler/Black Beard incarnate campaign strategy. Following are the highlights from one of the finest examples of socialist propaganda ever created that would sure enough make the likes of Stalin, Castro, and Mao proud:

“The Road We Traveled”

• Unexpected – Our fairytale begins with the narrator, run Forrest run, whining about how the depth and severity of our economic woes was so unexpected. Completely out of right field; didn’t have a clue; caught totally off guard; no way of knowing. Of course this is revisionist history in all its glory as the Change Gang was fully briefed on every detail and W had already initiated the TARP program several months before this group infested the White House.
• Worse Situation and Most Difficult Decisions Since FDR Was in Office – Really, no really. Reckon the decisions made by JFK about avoiding nuclear war with the Ruskies; LBJ and Nixon’s Vietnam deliberations; Reagan’s winning of the Cold War; W’s response to 9/11; Truman’s decision to drop A Bombs, one of the most consequential decisions in the history of mankind; paled in comparison to Obama’s problems. Truly, what an arrogant bunch of boneheads
• Blameless – During the most shameful part of the flick our narrator, “Stupid is as stupid does, Forrest”, declares openly and without shame that this Administration stoically blamed no one for their dyer predicament and just moved on with undeterred deliberation to confront our great challenges. Even their most fervent supporters got a chuckle about this unadulterated balderdash. This bunch raised the blame game to new and unprecedented levels. W being their favorite whipping boy along with everything from the Tea Party to ATM’s
• Recovery Act – The trillion dollar stimulus or most massive redistribution of wealth in the history of the world. They claimed it saved and/or created millions of jobs. Considering we have been north of 8 percent unemployment for almost 40 months that dog just won’t hunt.
• Auto Bailout – Proudly claimed they saved not only auto industry but also US manufacturing industry. In reality screwed auto company bond holders and paid off his comrades at the UAW
• Healthcare – A man who would exploit his Momma for political expediency at worth a bucket of warm spit. Obama makes claims in this fairytale that his Momma died from cancer cause she didn’t have insurance. Turns out this is a wild fabrication. Only a low life Yankee lawyer would lie about his Momma to advance a political agenda
• Iraq War – According to the movie Obama ended the war as promised. Failed to mention W already set the schedule, the liberation of 50 million folks, the establishment of a democracy in the center of the Middle East or victory. Another example of our Wimp-in-Chief at his pacifist best
• Osama Bin Laden – Sure enough the right call but the most audacially bold military leadership since D Day as portrayed in the fairytale is a joke. All things considered really a no brainer. The real questions are why did it take 8 months to pull the trigger and why didn’t we secretly bring him back alive for the high value intelligence and to womp the hell out of him daily
• Green Energy – The president is portrayed as the green energy guru saving the galaxies from the demon fossil fuels. No mention of the billions he has lost in political pay offs to Solindra and other eco-Nazi campaign contributors
• Dodd / Frank – Hailed as saving the middle class from the greedy, corrupt, bank executives. As for Dodd and Frank taking bribes and all manner of special favors from said corrupt bank execs must have been edited out at last minute
• Changed World’s View of US – The propaganda flick tells a story of Obama, an equal with all other world leaders, positioning our great nation to be loved by all. Maybe loved but respected, trusted, feared and admired by few and far between under his weak leadership
• Supreme Court Justices – Forrest, run Forrest run, tells us of two brilliant legal minds appointed to the court. The fact they are both radical left wing feminist extremist who will not hesitate to legislate from the bench didn’t make the cut
• Don’t Ask Don’t Tell – The last great accomplishment highlighted in the movie was the president’s decision to let gays serve openly in the military. Touted as a great victory for advancing civil rights there was no mention of how this policy change enhances combat readiness, unit cohesion and/or national security. Certainly no reason to let the military’s primary mission get in the way of some left wing social engineering

All in all this fantasy thriller is a typical Obama Administration production. Chalk full of lies, arrogant disregard of reality, and classic propaganda tactics designed to advance a false message the truth be damned.

We do have one suggestion. Instead of “The Road We Traveled” how about “Rode Hard and Put Up Wet”. After 165 weeks of Obama a sentiment we can all certainly appreciate.

I am American by birth and Southern by the grace of God.
