Thoughts On Obama From Bama

Week 177: ”Barack Money Bags Obama”

Now I'm not talking 'bout excessive greed.
The kind that puzzled the scribes and Pharisees.
I don't worship it like a golden calf,
But change in my pocket is always good for a laugh.

I've seen it brighten up the eyes of a child
It even makes the Dali Lama smile.
It's no relation to the meaning of life,
It's a dang fool husband doesn't spring for his wife.

A little spending money.
Money to burn.
Money that you did not necessarily earn.
Rainy days seem to wind up sunny,
Long as you got a little spending money
Spending Money, Jimmy Buffett

Rumor has it the 2012 Presidential campaign will cost just north of 2 Billion dollars. Unless you work for the GSA, Warren Buffett or the Obama Administration most folks would consider that a serious amount of money.

Truth be told 2 Billion of other people’s money is chump change to the Change Gang. Literally pocket change, walking around money, spare change, spending money.

For a man that’s never made a honest dollar for a honest day’s work a Billion here and Billion there is just another long golf weekend, a tax payer funded campaign excursion, date night with the Mrs. or Union pay off. Our current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is totally ignorant when it comes to the true value of a dollar which explains a lot about his lack of a budget, criminal deficit spending, and almost casual doubling of the national debt.

The man never met a dollar of other people’s money he didn’t greet with a warm embrace and big ole sloppy wet kiss. Spending a Billion to get too reelected doesn’t even faze President Obama.

Maybe a comparison with other goods and services costing a Billion or there abouts will help put this fiasco in perspective:
• A thousand Maybach Landaulets. Exclusive luxury cars. Rush Limbaugh owns 6
• A billion dollars will buy you a $20,000 room at a 5 star resort every night for 137 years.
• Ten $100 million yachts
• Gulfstream G550. You can only buy 40 of these with your billion.
• 125 8 million dollar houses
• A private island with average costs of more than $5 million. You can buy 200 of these with your billion.
• The entire New York Times
• 800 of AOL's Microsoft's patents
• 1,250 scandal-inducing, team-building government conferences akin to the General Service Administration's $800,000 Las Vegas shindig
• The amount BP has pledged toward Gulf Restoration
• 45 percent of a B-2 Bomber
• 68 Lebron Jameses , 40 Kobe Bryants, and 83 Albert Pujolses
• 700 million moon pies
• 5 to 10 US Senate seats
• 25 to 30 US House seats
• 400 million infield passes to a Monster Truck Rally
• 3 to 4 Auburn Quarterbacks

President Obama views spending 1 Billion to get 4 more years to fundamentally transform our great nation into a Marxist/Socialist nanny state as a sacred mission. Given another term the sneaky little liberal Bolshevik might just get away with it.

Our Cult leader Mitt should also have a Billion or so to spend on his run for the Oval Office. Given his record of successfully maximizing ROI it’s gonna be butt kicking of Koranic proportions.

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