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.

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.

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.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 105: “Lollygagger”
Skip: You guys. You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Lollygaggers!
Skip: Lollygaggers. “Bull Durham”
Defining our 44th President, Barack Husain Obama:
• You nationalize the US Auto industry. You nationalize the US Financial industry. You nationalize the US Energy industry. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Socialist!
Skip: Socialist.
• You redistribute wealth from productive folk to the victim class. You spend other people’s money with reckless abandon. You accumulate more debt than white on rice. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Socialist!
Skip: Socialist.
• You appoint open self described Socialist and Communist as Czars in your “Secret Shadow Government”. You publicly praise and promote Marxist/Socialist doctrine. You ease travel restrictions to your beloved Cuba supporting your hero Castro. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Socialist!
Skip: Socialist.
• You never stray too far from your Socialist indoctrination at Columbia and from your radical Earth Mom and renegade Muslim Father. You blindly follow teachings of political socialist mentors Bill Ayers and the always effervescing Rev. Wright. As President you show preferential treatment for your old Socialist employer ACORN. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Socialist!
Skip: Socialist.
On the last day of “Week 105” of the Obama Regime our “Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief” delivered his annual State of the Union Address. According to most of the notoriously just flat out plumb wrong media elite the President would surely continue his alleged pivot to the center with an olive branch clinched between his teeth and whiskey and cigars tucked under each arm as a gesture of goodwill towards his new GOP political soul mates.
Only problem with the media boneheads bipartisan new era of civility and expectations of Presidential moderation is the cold harsh reality that Barack Husain Obama is a hardcore extreme left wing Marxist Socialist who openly and without shame has no inclination what so ever to shift and govern from the middle. The very thought of such an action strikes this revolutionary as hateful and repugnant.
Truth be told Comrade Obama’s devout and passionate Socialist beliefs are more akin to:
• Putting lipstick on a pig, it’s still just a pig - Putting lipstick on a Socialist – it’s still just a Socialist
• Plant a tater, get a tater – Elect Socialist - Get a Socialist
• Walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, looks like a duck, must be a duck - Walks like a Socialist, sounds like a Socialist, looks like a Socialist, must be a Socialist
Our Bolshevik-in-Chief did make several thinly veiled attempts to look and sound like a capitalist during his address but each and every proposal reeked with the stench of massive additional deficit spending; intrusive government; wealth redistribution; and Marxist/Socialist doctrine. This Obama head fake to the center was nothing but high political theatre designed to give his liberal media elite fan club ammunition for their next round of propaganda columns and commentaries.
A few examples from the President’s The State of the Union is Socialist Speech include:
1. The President’s bogus proposal to freeze discretionary spending at current levels. Considering discretionary spending has increased 84% since Mr. Obama took office two years go capping spending at this level represents an annualized increase of 18% over five years. Gross arrogance and the epitome of fiscal irresponsibility.
2. “Investments” in Education – Deficit busting spending on Teacher’s unions for political payback
3. “Investments” in infrastructure – Fiscally irresponsible deficit exploding political payback to labor unions
4. “Investments” in clean energy – Nationalize energy industry causing cost to consumers to skyrocket as we unsuccessfully wean us off foreign oil while leaving an almost endless reserve of domestic crude untapped.
5. “Investments” in government selected innovation that meet political/PC agendas as opposed to the tried and true approach of getting the hell out of the private sector’s way allowing risk taking and profits to dictate success instead of intrusive government and social engineering
Considering the mind boggling amount of new “Investments”, a euphemism for recklessly spending other people’s money and extorting/redistributing our most productive pilgrim’s wealth, our “Socialist-in-Chief” pivot to the right ain’t nothing more than some main stream media elites political fantasy. In the final analysis any dumb SOB who truly believes President Obama has or will moderate his views and intends to govern from the center is crazier than an outhouse rat.
Skip: You guys. You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Lollygaggers!
Skip: Lollygaggers.
President Obama: You advocate classic Marxist/Socialist policy initiatives. You conduct wealth distribution with the ease a duck takes to water. You represent the most serious national security threat to our great nation since the Cold War. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Socialist!
Skip: Socialist.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 104: “Halfway Home”
And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I've got
is a smoke and a cheap guitar.
My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin'
to be home in a Texas bar
I wanna go home with the arma dillo
Good country music from Ama rillo and Abi lene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever
seen “London Home Sick Blues,” Jerry Jeff Walker
Week 104 marks the “Halfway Home“ point of the most destructive; dangerous; subversive; anti-democratic; Socialist; ethically deficient; corrupt; intellectually dishonest; elitist; narcissistic; just downright Un-American Presidential Administration to ever occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Led, or to be more precise hoodwinked, by a charismatic visionary revolutionary, one Barack Husain Obama, our great Nation is experiencing unprecedented, genuine, fundamental, transformational change.
Nurturing a seed planted by his Marxist father; encouraged by a "Turn on, tune in, drop out” 70’s earth mother; brainwashed to be a gifted and ambitious student by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers; a loyal, passionate, fervent, convert to Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s communist based racist spiritual/hate doctrine; and as promised by candidate Obama our young new President has laid the foundation for some sure enough “Change We Can Believe In.” The creation of a Socialist nanny state for starters and the pillars of a Communist Utopia for good measure.
Fundamental world shaking change is far closer at hand than most of us poor dumb pilgrims would have ever thought possible. In a relatively short period of time, two years; twenty-four months; 104 weeks; or 730 days our “Achiever of Dubious Accomplishments and Achievements-in-Chief” sure enough has compiled a most impressive list of dubious accomplishments and achievements.
As we reach the “Halfway Home” point of Obama’s first and praying there is a merciful God only term in office is an ideal time to review and reflect on the “Change Gang’s” success implementing their Marxist agenda. Best we put a stop too all this insanity soon before we are all speaking Chinese and developing a strong hankering for Peking Duck.
Obama’s “Halfway Home” List of Dubious Accomplishments & Achievements:
1. Unemployment – December 2008, 7.8%. December 2010, 9.4%, a 20% increase two years after we were promised their Trillion dollar spending bill would keep it under 8%.
2. December 31, 2010, the "Total public debt outstanding" was $14.03 trillion. The national debt has grown by $3.4 trillion since Obama took office. The public debt is now about 62 percent of our economy, the highest percentage since shortly after World War II
3. Interest on the debt was $414 billion in Fiscal Year 2010, higher than the $383 billion in FY 2009
4. 2008 annual deficit - $455 Billion. 2010- $1,350 Trillion. A historical record breaking $895 Billion 196% increase in 2 years.
5. 2008 spending -$ 2,982.6. 2010 spending - $3,720.7. another record shattering spending increase of $738 Billion
6. Ordered all federal agencies to undertake a study and make recommendations for ways to cut spending and a review of all federal operations to identify and cut wasteful spending and practices. Zero, the big goose egg, nada so far for this sham effort
7. Instituted enforcement for equal pay for women
8. President declares his own birthday National Take a Bolshevik to a Commune Day
9. Continued W’s withdrawal of US troops from Iraq
10. Issued a Directive limiting lobbyist’s access to the White House and White House aides working for lobbyists after their tenure in the administration. Policy totally ignored with new Chief of Staff, Daily, the most recent example.
11. Removed restrictions on embryonic stem-cell research and goosed Federal support for stem-cell and new biomedical research
12. Increased infrastructure spending (roads, bridges, power plants
13. Funds for high-speed, broadband Internet access to K-12 school.
14. Directive to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay. In Obama’s terrorist appeasing dreams.
15. Nationalization of US Auto industry.
16. Communist Manifesto declared mandatory reading by Education Czar.
17. Housing take over plan
18. $789 billion economic stimulus / Unions payback/ colossal waste of the tax payer’s money plan
19. Continues W’s successful financial and banking rescue plan, TARP
20. The secret detention facilities in Eastern Europe and elsewhere are being closed. . In Obama’s terrorist appeasing dreams
21. Ended the previous policy; the US now has a no torture policy and is in compliance with the Geneva Convention standards. Please see Rendition and item 18 above.
22. The missile defense program is being cut by $1.4 billion greatly compromising national security.
23. Giving the farm away on nuclear nonproliferation
24. Caving on the treaties/agreements to protect the Antarctic.
25. Selling us out in the agreements/talks on global warming and greenhouse gas emissions
26. Visited more countries and bowed down and puckered up butter cup to more world leaders than any president in his first two years in office.
27. Vodka designated as National Drink.
28. Social engineering by giving tax write-offs for those who buy over priced poor performing hybrid automobiles
29. Cash for clunkers program offers vouchers to trade in fuel inefficient, polluting old cars for new cars; adversely impacting used car market for months to come.
30. Ended the previous policy of not regulating and labeling carbon dioxide emissions as he continues to plot and scheme a secrete takeover of the domestic energy industry.
31. Sent envoys to Middle East and other parts of the world reengaging in multilateral and bilateral talks and diplomacy with Radical Islamics as part of his world wide apology tour.
32. The FDA is now regulating tobacco, child obesity, ham sandwiches, and neighborhood lemonade stands.
33. Appointment of two ultra left wing Socialist activist judges including the first woman Latina to the Supreme Court.
34. Forced to change the military command in Afghanistan because the generals in charge viewed the President as weak and an embarrassment.
35. Deployed additional troops to Afghanistan and in the same breath announced their date of departure.
36. Passed Obamacare ruining the best healthcare system in the world and ultimately resulting in a government run single payer plan.
37. Passed far over reaching financial regulations further restricting the recovery, job growth and tightening their strangle hold on the private sector.
38. Declared war with boarder States by refusing to control illegal immigration and in realty supporting it.
39. Repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell allowing gays to openly serve in the military striking fear in the hearts and minds of our enemies.
40. Per Presidential Proclamation declared Castro’s, Marx’s, Mao’s, Stalin’s; Lenin’s; and Che’s birthdays as National Holidays.
With the full cooperation of wild eyed democrat Congressional leaders Pelosi and Reid the President has made alarming progress expanding government’s control in all aspects of our lives; bankrupting the national treasury; accumulating debt at unprecedented and unsustainable levels; and diminishing our standing in the world to a new and pathetic low where the French justifiably lecture our President about fiscal responsibility. Hopefully the new GOP majority in the House will reverse this most unfortunate chain of events.
Speaking of the new GOP majority the President’s newly found willingness to compromise; concern about spending and deficits; worries about unemployment; and commitment to fiscal responsibility are nothing but another Obama ho ax perpetrated on We the People. He was a devout Socialist revolutionary 104 weeks ago when he took the oath of office and now that we are “Halfway Home” his commitment to advancing a radical Socialist agenda remains priority number one.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 103: “Shameless Liberal Political Exploitation”
Carried away by the wind
You carried away by the wind

Oh its a shame you cannot stay by my side
Oh its a shame now you’re gone
Oh it’s a shame you cannot stay by my side
Oh it’s a shame now you’re gone “The Wind”, Jerry Jeff Walker
A seriously disturbed; obviously mentally disabled; most likely insane although not necessarily criminally insane; unremorseful cold blooded murderer; a coward who viciously gunned down innocent men, woman and children committed a crime in Tucson, Arizona on Saturday of the 103rd week of the Obama Administration that cries out for swift and severe justice. The psychopath that carried out this unprovoked massacre can’t be hung, given the chair, exterminated by a chemical cocktail, shot, beheaded, burned at the stake and/or stoned to death soon enough.
Less than three hours later a seriously disturbed; obviously mentally disabled; most likely insane although not necessarily criminally insane; unremorseful cold blooded New York Times left wing elitist head case; a coward who viciously exploited gunned down innocent men, woman and children; a man who committed a journalistic crime against good sense, common decency and intellectual integrity Paul Krugman, Socialist NYT’s Economist, accused the right wing conservative echo chamber of having responsibility for this mayhem and for specifically inciting the lunatic that carried out the Saturday attack in Tucson.
Krugman’s victim of conservative hate speech and right wing violence advocating propaganda is twenty-two year old Jared Loughner who opened fire on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' Saturday political event in Tucson, killing six people, wounding 14 more and leaving the lawmaker clinging to life in an Arizona hospital. The fact Comrade Krugman doesn’t even have a frog’s hair worth of evidence to support his wild eyed accusations doesn’t even phase this arrogant, hyper-partisan, left wing, low life, verbal bomb thrower.
In his own words – “We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was. She’s been the target of violence before. And for those wondering why a Blue Dog Democrat, the kind Republicans might be able to work with, might be a target, the answer is that she’s a Democrat who survived what was otherwise a GOP sweep in Arizona, precisely because the Republicans nominated a Tea Party activist. And yes, she was on Sarah Palin’s infamous “crosshairs” list”.
Twenty innocent fellow citizens were gunned downed in Tucson Saturday by a twenty-two year old criminally insane white male who according to friends and his own blog postings considered himself a liberal pot head. Six died including a Federal Judge and a precious nine year old girl who’s all too tragically short life was violently bookended by her birth on 9/11 2001 and last Saturday.
Jared Loughner’s only political preferences seem to be his favorable opinion of the “Communist Manifesto”, a doctrine shared with President Obama, and Hitler’s political vision as described in “Mien Kempf”. Nothing, lets repeat that, absolutely nothing suggesting this psychopath has any ties to conservatism or right wing philosophy.
Mr. Krugman and fellow media propagandist along with unscrupulous extreme left wing politicians irresponsibly continue to blame conservatives and their alleged incendiary rhetoric for Loughner’s insane behavior. Following are additional remarks by Krugman and comrades advocating their insane agenda:
• Krugman, in his blog post on the Times website, mentioned Giffords' presence last year on Sarah Palin's "infamous crosshairs list." This was a map with the districts of 20 vulnerable House Democrats with images of crosshairs overlaid on each. The map was accompanied by a caption saying:” IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAND”
• In his NYT’s editorial Krugman dribbles on, “When you heard the terrible news from Arizona, were you completely surprised?” Krugman begins. “Or were you, at some level, expecting something like this atrocity to happen?” After he approvingly cites Bill Clinton’s disgusting attempt to pin the Oklahoma City bombings on Rush Limbaugh, he says “you could see, just by watching the crowds at the McCain-Palin rallies, that it was ready to happen again.”
• Krugman concedes “the shooter in Arizona appears to have been mentally troubled,” but “that doesn’t mean his act can or should be treated as an isolated event, having nothing to do with the national climate.”
• Liberal Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, also found a political element in Saturday's bloodshed. Dupnik argued that the "vitriol" of the country's harshly polarized political climate was partly to blame, arguing that unbalanced individuals are uniquely "susceptible" to vitriol.
• Democrat Congressman Bill Pascrell of N.J. said conservative lawmakers and Fox News are at fault. He told the Bergen Record Saturday: "There's an aura of hate, and elected politicians feed it; certain people on Fox News feed it."
• The number three ranked House Democrat, Rep. James Clyburn, S.C. had this to say, "The sheriff out there in Tucson, I think he's got it right. Words do have consequences. And I think that we have to really -- this is nothing new. I've been saying this for a long time now."
• Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois, the number-two Democrat in the Senate invoked "don't retreat, reload," a phrase from a well publicized message once used by Sarah Palin, as the kind of "violent" sentiment that can provoke incidents like Saturday's. Durbin stated over the weekend "These sorts of things, I think, invite the kind of toxic rhetoric that can lead unstable people to believe this is an acceptable response,"
• Democrat Steney Hoyer of Maryland, the House’s number two said, “It’s been a much angrier, confrontational environment over the last two or three years than we have experienced in the past. Far too many broadcasts now have the intent of inciting people to opposition, to anger to thinking the other side is less than moral. And I think that is a context in which someone who is mentally unbalanced can somehow feel justified in taking this kind of action. . We all need to take cognizance of that and be aware that what we say can, in fact, have consequences.”
Krugman and company’s favorite violence inciting targets seems to be the Tea Party, Fox News, Glenn Beck and the Great Conservative She Devil herself, Sarah Palin. The only problem with their position is the total absence of any evidence in support of their delusionary accusations.
Truth be told abusive and incendiary remarks are actually few and far between from the right and more abundant than white on rice from the left. Consider the following:
• House Minority Leader Pelosi’s frequent references to the Tea Party as a bunch of racist, tea bagging, ignorant, white trash yahoos.
• Majority Leader Reid’s remarks about conservatives being Nazis, W a loser and the GOP’s anti Latino bias.
• Our “Pontificator of Fighting Words-in-Chief” frequent outburst including his accusation about the Cambridge Police being stupid racist and…
• “ If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” And…
• “I want you to go out and talk to your neighbors… I want you to argue with them, get in their faces”. And…
• “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry. I’m angry.” And…
• “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, “We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,” if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder, and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on November 2 “
Sure enough safe to say those of a liberal persuasion don’t have any moral upper hand when it comes to political rhetoric. Especially when one considers the source of the quotes above literally come from the top three liberals/Democrats in the nation.
Paul Krugman and his liberal brethren’s shameless attempts to exploit the murder and maiming of twenty fellow Americans is a cowardly, pathetic act of desperation attempting to maintain some degree of relevance. The Country’s growing rejection of Obama’s Socialist agenda, the midterm shellacking, and Krugman and Company’s loss of credibility on the Tucson tragedy has very possibly already diminished their relevancy to unrecoverable levels.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and the family and friends whose lives were so abruptly and dramatically changed by a lone seriously disturbed lunatic who killed six individuals and wounded fourteen with extreme prejudice during what started off as such a typical Saturday political event at a Tucson shopping center on a warm January morning. We also commend President Obama and the other speakers for their words of comfort, hope and inspiration at Wednesday evening’s Memorial Service.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 102: “Tee it Up”
Well I'm on the eighteenth in seven, my knees began to shake
I'm praying I can one putt, try to save an eight
It's a forty dollar nassau, if I sink this I'm a lock
I'll be sitting in the club house, sippin' bourbon on the rocks
Oh Lord....what am I gonna do, Help me keep my head down
Save me from these double bogey blues
Oh oh oh Lord....I can't afford to lose, I'll be in church next Sunday
Just save me from those Double Bogey Blues
Double Bogey Blues, Mickey Jones
Our “Golf Enthusiast“-in-Chief packed up the little woman and youngins and a thousand or so other folks and flew Air Force One out to Hawaii for twelve days of family fun in paradise. Allegedly the hallowed site of our inspirational and visionary charismatic leader’s birth although any kin folk or family friends seem about as scarce as hen’s teeth.
Certainly entitled to some well deserved R and R after a whirlwind Lame Duck session of Congress where the President and his Democrat comrades approved bills allowing gays to openly serve in the military which has absolutely nothing to do with enhancing combat readiness and is really just another example of PC insanity; giving away the farm on missile defense by approving a lopsided treaty with the Ruskies; further exploding the deficit by billions by extending unemployment benefits by a ludicrous and unprecedented twenty four months; and trying but failing to pass another bloated Socialist budget chock full of billions in earmarks the first family got in some serious vacation time in the sun, surf and sand.
President Obama also made time to get in five plus rounds of golf bringing the grand total for his second year in office to an estimated 60-65 outing. If these estimates are accurate that places “Lefty Links Obama, a nick name reflecting his radical extreme political pedigree and the fact he’s a southpaw, in a solid second only trailing Ike for rounds played by Presidents their first two years in office who got in far north of 200 during his first 104 weeks of holding court in the Oval Office.
For the record Thoughts of Obama From Bama strongly supports and advocates frequent, recreational, social, business related, and or political Presidential golf. Few venues offer a better opportunity to build relationships, evaluate the true character of allies and adversaries, and win a few greenbacks from playing partners.
Our problem and concerns with President Obama’s golfing escapades is the cloud of secrecy that seems to block out every aspect of his frequent days on the links. Playing partners, scores, wagers, teams, individual handicaps, and how many packs of Luckys he chain smokes are all treated like highly classified State secrets.
This secret evasive approach to his golf game is inconsistent, contrary and troubling in comparison to his Presidential predecessors. Maybe a brief review of the history Presidential golf will provide some badly needed illumination on the subject:
• William McKinley, the 25th Commander-in-Chief, expressed an interest in this new game that some Scot had brought to America, but his advisers convinced him that the public wouldn't like to see their leader wasting his time on something called a golf course when there was an Industrial Revolution going on. McKinley, as we know, got assassinated anyhow.
• Taft was the first president of the United States who enthusiastically played the game and wasn't ashamed to admit it.
• Dwight D. Eisenhower gets credit for doing more for golf than any other White House resident, a mid- to high-handicapper. On Eisenhower's frequent afternoon golf forays to Burning Tree, when he wasn't practicing on the South Lawn of the White House, playing guests included generals, representatives, senators, businessmen, visiting dignitaries and, occasionally, Vice President Richard Nixon. Ike's daily itineraries also include tantalizing references like "hosted off-the-record stag party," but with no details.
• Both Bush 41 and 43 were low double digit handicaps. Their most notable contribution to Presidential play was a commitment to end slow play. A two to three hour round was typical for the Bush boys
• Hearing the president of the United States shouting, "Oh, don't leak! Please don't leak!" as his golf ball flies into the rough sounds like any other weekend hacker. Most of us would have a hard time getting used to having Bill Clinton as a playing partner, especially when he is mercilessly trash talking one of our opponents, who could be anyone from another head of state, famous pro golfer or Hooters Girl.
• JFK had a smooth swing and could effortlessly shoot in the high 70’s; Nixon once shot a 79; Ford was actually a single digit handicap but was a threat to pick off spectators in the gallery; Reagan didn’t play very often which was reflected in his high scores; LBJ’s game improved with every bourbon and branch.
These gentlemen were all tickled pink, like most red blooded American male golfers, to provide hole by hole commentary with details including wind speed, club selection and the direction of the grain for each shot. Playing partners, the nature, amount, and outcome of any wager, and the groups longest drive, sunk putt and greens in regulation were also divulged to any interested parties.
In stark contrast Mr. Obama’s paranoid secretive silence is another of many character flaws this President displays that are seemingly more abundant than white on rice. Following are several examples of disconcerting experiences one might encounter spending a day on the links with our first golfer:
• President Obama averages more than one round a week and refuses to record his scores to establish an official USGA handicap. Published reports estimate Mr. Obama’s handicap ranges between a 16 and 25. The absence of an official handicap makes it much easier for the President to take unfair advantage of an opponent. This and the confidentiality of Presidential scores is not only odd it’s also just ain’t fittin.
• President Obama seems to have a tendency to only play with subordinates. Combining business with pleasure to solidify a relationship or build one with an adversary apparently holds no interest for him. Sounds like a man with serious control, insecurity and inferiority complex issues.
• Smoke um if you got um. Mr. “I haven’t had a smoke in nine months“is rumored to go through a pack a round.
• Isn’t it interesting that the progressive, equal rights, break the glass ceiling guy has never been seen once with either daughter on a golf course? Reckon that might put a damper on the chain smoking and sandbagging/cheating opponents.
• A pair of cargo shorts, faded polo, and White Sox baseball cap ain’t exactly the fashion statement we expect from the leader of the free world. He looks like some yahoo playing a Muni in Chili Dip, Michigan.
We did catch wind the President had scheduled an actual business related match while vacationing in Hawaii with Governor Neil Abercrombie. When he returned back to the compound after their round the First Lady asked if the Governor had enjoyed their game.
When the President informed her he had canceled their game she was understandably curious as to why. Before providing an explanation he asked her the following questions:
• Would you like to play golf with someone who constantly talks and swears during other player’s backswings?
• How about someone who’s best shot is a “foot wedge” to advance his ball from behind trees, rocks and all manner of obstructions when no one else is looking?
• A person who’s best scoring club is the eraser on his pencil?
• Someone who has a hole in the side pocket of his britches so he can stealthily drop a ball into play rolling it down his pants leg after losing his in the forest, again, again and again?
• A cheap SOB who never has enough cash to cover his betting losses?
“Of course not”, the First Lady responded. “Neither does the Governor”, replied the President.
