Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 125: “A Fox in the Hen House”
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
I got no financial conscience
Can't worry where it went
A lasting treasure a moment of pleasure
Worth in every cent
Coin or paper, silver or gold
All Denominations nouveaux or old
Can't have a turkey without oyster dressing
It's the root of all evil the sum of your blessings “Spending Money”, Jimmy Buffett
President Obama issued an executive order this week creating an oversight board to eliminate wasteful government spending. Talk about the proverbial “Fox in the Hen House”; “blind leading the blind”; Arnold “I’ll be back” serving as a spokesman for population control; and Congressman Anthony “Little” Weiner teaching online ethics classes to teenage girls.
Keep in mind this is the first Administration to pile up Trillon dollar plus annual deficits. Mr. Obama and company have never met a dollar of other people’s money they didn’t greet with a warm embrace and a big sloppy wet kiss.
They also have the most dubious honor of accumulating more debt in one term, over 4 Trillion dollars, than each and every one of his predecessors combined. A truly astonishing fiscal catastrophe that only a bunch of pointy headed, acamaditions, community organizing, Marxist/Socialist would orchestrate and consider a great accomplishment.
To add insult to injury our “Fiscally Challenged Criminal Spender of Other People’s Money-in-Chief” has appointed his second in command, “nobody messes with Uncle Joe”, Vice President Biden to head up this farce. A man that, bless his heart, makes Sarah Palin look like a certified genius and really is dumber than a bag of hammers.
Over the course of his corruption riddled 40 plus year political career Uncle Joe has shown his lily white, arrogant, elitist, plagiarizing, tacky Yankee ass early, often and with total disregard for the Constitution he has sworn to uphold. Following is a representative list of Uncle Joe’s most outrageous, downright stupid, possibly illegal breaches in decorum and conduct that strongly suggest the man is crazier than an outhouse rat and/or duller than a knife that can’t even cut through hot butter:
• "People, when I say that, look at me and say, 'What are you talking about, Joe? You're telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?" he said at a stop in Virginia. "The answer is yes."
• In an interview with ABC's "This Week," Biden conceded that the White House team "misread how bad the economy was." His confession came as unemployment hit 9.5 percent, despite the administration's insistence that it would hold to 8 percent with the stimulus plan.
• On April 30, 2009, Biden gave advice on dealing with swine flu that seemed to contradict President Obama's warning not to panic. Speaking on NBC's "Today," Biden, a longtime Amtrak rider who has commuted for decades daily from Delaware to Washington, D.C., said he wouldn't advise family necessarily against going to Mexico, the source of the H1N1 outbreak, but he wouldn't tell them to get into any small area like a subway car, automobile, classroom or airplane.
• Biden addressed a former Senate colleague by saying, "An hour late, oh give me a f**king break," after he arrived on Amtrak at Union Station in Washington, D.C. The vice president's expletive was caught on a live microphone. As we all will be subjected too later this is obviously one of his favorite words
• During a 2009 interview on CBS' "Early Show," Biden encouraged viewers to visit a government-run Web site that tracks stimulus spending. When asked for the site's web address, Biden could not remember the site's number.
• At a swearing-in ceremony of senior White House staff, Biden mocked Chief Justice John Roberts for his presidential oath blunder on Inauguration Day. "Am I doing this again?" Biden said, after Obama asked him to administer the oath. When Biden was told the swearing-in was for senior staff the vice president quipped, "My memory is not as good as Justice Roberts," prompting a stern nudge and a toothy grin from President Obama.
• When criticizing former GOP nominee John McCain Biden said, "Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs."
• "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed”. He said, 'Look, here's what happened," Herbert Hoover, not Roosevelt was president in 1929, and television had not yet been invented.
• During a speech in Columbia, Mo., Biden called for Missouri State Sen. Chuck Graham, who is wheelchair-bound, to "stand up." “Oh, God love ya," Biden said, after realizing his mistake. "What am I talking about?"
• Vice President Joe Biden dropped an F-bomb on live television when he turned to Obama and said, "This is a big f…ng deal." Referring to the passage of Obamacare
• Biden called a Wisconsin custard shop manager a "smartass" after the man refused to take payment and said he'd prefer a tax cut instead.
• VEEP Biden while attending a recent event held at George Washington appears to be racked out like a fat baby while the president is speaking on financial issues.
• Biden lifted Neil Kinnock's, a British labor leader’s, precise turns of phrase and his sequences of ideas for use in his stump speeches during the 1988 Democrat Presidential primary. A degree of plagiarism that would qualify any student for failure, if not expulsion from school. But the even greater sin was to borrow biographical facts from Kinnock that, although true about Kinnock, didn't apply to Biden. This blatant act of plagiarism forced Biden to withdraw in shame from the Presidential primary race.
During the last 125 weeks President Obama has handed Uncle Joe several high-profile assignments. “Stupid is as stupid does” has brought his bull in a china shop and strong hankering for bending the truth approach to each and every special Presidential request.
VP Biden demonstrated a level of incompetence, indifference, and ineptitude in the execution of each assignment that is only tolerated within the confines of a humongous government bureaucracy. So typical for a 40 plus year so called public servant that would have been sent packing so fast in the real world private sector as he’s ushered out with a warning of not letting the door knob hitting him in the arse on his way out.
A summary of Uncle Joe’s record of historic failures follows:
• Point man on the President’s signature legislation the 1Trillion dollar Stimulus Package – A classic example of over selling and underperforming under the VEEP’s criminally negligent direction unemployment soars to a sustained 9% plus level for months with prospects for improvement any time soon few and far between. The only beneficiaries Obama political constituents including the likes of corrupt labor unions, public sector employees, and other Socialist activist.
• Iraq War – Biden attempts to steal credit for success from W claiming our victory one of their Administration’s greatest accomplishments. Even their adoring dominions in the main stream media elite passed on this pathetic attempt at revisionist history
• New START Treaty with the Ruskies – Uncle Joe blackmailed and extorted just enough members of Congress to get this totally lopsided give away of our nuke advantages over the Ruskies as directed by Comrade Obama
• 2010 Budget Deal – VP Biden napped through negotiation sessions leading to extension of W tax rates and substantial spending cuts
• Debt Ceiling Increase Discussions - VP Biden is currently napping through negotiation sessions with Congressional GOPR’s that will hopefully lead to several Trillion in spending cuts and a first right of refusal on several future draft picks.
Uncle Joe’s most recent assignment is sure enough the easiest to accomplish to date as opportunities to eliminate wasteful government spending are both close at hand and more abundant than white on rice. Starting with the resignation of the man sneaking a smoke in the Rose Garden and working his way down from there to every Marxist, Socialist, Communist, radical left wing extremist Presidential appointment made by the Obama Administration, including his own immediate departure, would cut untold Billions if not Trillions of wasteful government spending faster than a scalded dog running home to Momma.
Knowing the chances of the metaphorical Obama foxes making an early departure from the hen house are at best slim to none maybe the best we can hope for is the discovery of a secret texting relationship between the President and Representative “Little” Weiner from New York City. Doubtful but with this bunch of social, political and ethical degenerates such acts of moral depravity can never be 100% ruled out of consideration.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 124: “Obama’s Weiner Exposed Stepping Out On Twitter”
When the telephone woke me this morning,
I'm sorry was the first thing I said
From that point it get's a bit fuzzy, thinking with half a head
Putting the pieces together, it's shocking to flash on the past
'Cause when you are known as a rascal, you can bet you showed off your ass
I was so bad last night, I'll be good for the rest of my life
Now I'm telling you and this is the truth
I have finally seen the light
From now on I'm going to act right, I was so bad last night
The harder I try to remember, the quicker my brain starts to hurt
It really is funny, unwadding the money, that's been stuffed in my pants and shirt
But tryin' to make sense of phone numbers, scribbled on the backs of old cards
I guess we ought to be thankful, nobody knows who we are
I was so bad last night, I'll be good for the rest of my life
Now I'm telling you and this is the truth
I tore up the bar, lost a pretty nice car
It's a good bet I ticked off my wife
I never intended to do it, I dropped in for a drink or two
But all of the chicks were so foxy, I wanted to marry a few
The place was more crowded than usual, and everyone there was my friend
Franny and Snake and Bunky and Jake, and somehow the night never ends
I Was So Bad Last Night, Jerry Jeff Walker
Congressman Anthony Weiner, a Democrat from the 9th District of New York, has been one of the most visible; outspoken; in our face Obama advocates in the US House of Representatives since the first day this corrupt regime infested the White House. As President Obama’s lead Congressional attack dog Representative Weiner done raised the roof in support of Obamacare, Cap and Tax, financial stimulus (massive wealth redistribution), eliminating the use of fossil fuels, and the creation of a Socialist Nanny State.
Little Weiner, as he is affectionately referred to by close friends and associates, sure enough is one of the most arrogant, belligerent, obnoxious, elitist, sanctimonious, dishonest, disingenuous, just downright rude tacky Yankees currently serving in the US Congress. A man being groomed and promoted as an up and comer destined for senior leadership and some serious progressive/liberal/Socialist world shaking in the Democrat Party.
Finally having achieved Rock Star status in the Democrat Party and with his comrades in the mainstream media elite press young Little Weiner literally got caught with his britches down in another sex scandal involving a prominent politician. Following in the footsteps of his hero and mentor “Saturday Night” Bill Clinton Little Weiner has done “screwed the pooch” when it comes to his most promising career as a rising star of the left wing Marxist/Socialist political class.
Turns out the recently married Little Weiner is a full fledged cyber sex perv who gives an entirely new meaning to the terms “backdoor firewall”, “hand held device” and “joy stick”. He’s also proved to be a gifted and creative liar at a level that rivals his before mentioned mentor and his pathological tall telling little woman, “She of the Butt Ugly Traveling Pants Suit Klan”, Hillary (who just so happens to be an old friend and current employer of Little Weiner’s new bride).
Following is a brief chronology of the public, self inflicted, self destruction of Representative Anthony “Little” Weiner:
• May 27 – An image of a man’s crotch in his under drawers is uploaded too little Weiner’s Twitter account and sent to 21-year-old Gennette Cordova. Little Weiner realizes his mistake and takes the photo down and claims he was hacked.
• May, 29 -- Conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart exposes little Weiner on his website biggovernment.com. Weiner blames Breitbart and insist he was the victim of a hacker.
• May 30 – The college student tagged in the photo says she never met Little Weiner. Weiner’s office said they were “seeking legal action” to investigate who hacked the account.
• May 31 – When reporters in Washington, D.C. questioned Little Weiner about the tweet he belligerently responds he will not answer any questions saying he had already put out a statement. “I’m not going to allow this to be what I talk about all week”.
• June 1 – Little Weiner spends all day in media interviews. His repeated ludicrous reply, "You know, I can't say with certitude. My system was hacked. Pictures can be manipulated. Pictures can be dropped in and inserted".
• June 2 to June 5 – Little Weiner lays low and avoids public appearances.
• June 6 – After Andrew Breitbart announces he is in possession of more incriminating photos of Little Weiner, including a full Monty, he does a press conference at 4 p.m. where he admits the originally tweeted photo was not in fact the work of a hacker but his own. He apologizes to his family and his constituents, and admits to 6 inappropriate cyber relationships.
President Obama’s Little Weiner, his point man, go to guy, political pit-bull in the Congress seems to be just another low life degenerate scoundrel like so many of Mr. Obama’s other past and current associations. The President’s attraction to these deviant, often criminal, and always radical left wing extremist is certainly cause for great concern and consternation.
Reckon we can just add Little Weiner’s name to the President’s long list of Marxist/Socialist, racist, and elitist circle of friends that includes the likes of Reverend Jeremiah GD America Wright; domestic terrorist Bill Ayers; the always understated and reserved former Illinois Governor Elvis the Blago; political mentor Fidel Castro; golfing and clubbing compadre Tiger Woods; and political soul mate current Venezuelan Dictator Hugo Chavez.
As for President Obama’s Little Weiner’s ultimate fate so far no word from the White House and other Democrat leaders, with a few notable exceptions, calling for the perv Congressman’s resignation. Considering the Democrat’s idolization of the consummate horn dog former President Bill Clinton and lionization of Ted Kennedy, who literally got away with the murder of Mary Jo Kopechne, uploading an image of your full Monty on Twitter seems almost trivial in comparison.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 123: “Mediscare Tactics ”
Had a dream last night took a time travellin' ride
Back to my childhood where those monsters reside
They snack on innocence and dine on self-esteem
But I like to be in touch with what makes me scream
Vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost
These are the things that terrify me the most
No aliens, psychopaths or MTV host
Scares me like vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost Vampires, Mummies and the Holy Ghost, Jimmy Buffett
Democrats are employing their tried and true tactics that have worked for years scaring hell out of the old folks about the demonic Republicans who want to kill Medicare and Social Security so they can give more tax breaks to their greedy wealthy friends, criminal oil companies and immoral Insurance provider cheats and scoundrels. The warm hearted, compassionate, socially conscience liberals would have us believe if the GOPR’s had their druthers every elderly individual would be called home to Glory way before reaching the age of eligibility for these social welfare programs.
To advance and promote this absolutely dishonest, misleading, and just downright Marxist/Socialist leftist propaganda President Obama and his Democrat comrades will say and do most anything, the truth be damned, to advocate their disingenuous position on the subject. No lie is to audacious, scare tactic too unscrupulous, exploitation of our senior citizens too demeaning for our pointy-headed liberal brethren when it comes to advocating these massive entitlement programs.
A current Democrat National Committee political advertisement goes as far to depict a Paul Ryan, the GOP Budget Chair who is proposing significant changes to Medicare in his 2012 Budget to reverse the course of this soon to be insolvent social welfare give away the farm Federal subsidy, look alike literally rolling Granny off the cliff in her Medicare issued wheel chair. Can’t be certain but Granny sure enough has a strong resemblance to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid dressed in drag.
Sadly far too many seniors succumb to the President and Democrat’s scare tactics and buy into the great lie that they can save the program, keep current benefits, and control cost by maintaining the status quo. No way, no how, no sir.
If you consider two simple facts about significant changes to the program since its implementation over 50 years ago it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know Medicare as we know it just ain’t sustainable:
(1) When first started there were over 10 workers paying into the program for each beneficiary. The current ratio is less than 1 – 1.
(2) The life expectancy of Americans has increased by more than 10 years.
These two variances alone dictate major revisions to keep both Medicare and Social Security viable. White House scare tactics for political expediency are just another example of this gang’s class, economic, and race warfare strategy for the 2012 elections.
A few historical points about the two social welfare programs that are literary sucking this country dry with the enthusiastic support of the Obama regime and their Congressional Comrades follows:
• The Social Security Act of 1965 was signed into law in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson as amendments to existing Social Security legislation
• Medicare is financed by payroll taxes. The tax is equal to 2.9 of compensation in connection with employment
• The costs of Medicare doubled every four years between 1966 and 1980. Medicare cost were $256.8 billion in fiscal year 2002
• Total Medicare spending reached $440 billion for fiscal year 2007 or 16% of all federal spending and grew to $599 billion in 2008 which was 20% of federal spending.
• According to the 2008 report by the board of trustees for Medicare and Social Security, Medicare spent more than it brought in from taxes for the first time in 2008
• The Republican controlled House of Representatives recently passed legislation converting Medicare to a voucher based payment system that also subsidies lower income participants
• President Obama and his humongous government cohorts have offered no viable alternatives and true to form have also made claims scaring seniors senseless including the GOP changes will result in untold disasters and catastrophes of Biblical proportions. The standard Granny relegated to surviving on dog food; Grandpa being denied of medicine, food, and shelter; and tales of roving bands of Republicans roughing up old folks have been told early and often.
• FDR, America’s first Socialist in the White House, started Social Security back in 1930’s. Initially participation in the Program was completely voluntary. That changed quickly once Uncle Sammy realized the untold potential trillions of other people’s money to be confiscated
• For starters participants only had to pay 1% of their first $1,400 of annual Income. That amount has increased to 7.65% on the first $90,000
• Income subverted into the Program was deductible for
income tax purposes, That ain’t the case no more
• Money put into the independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
general operating fund was only to be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other Government program. Under LBJ the money was moved to the General Fund and Spent
• The annuity payments to the retirees weren’t supposed to ever be taxed
as income. This changed under Clinton & Gore with up to 85% of Social Security income now being taxable
• Led by Jimmy “the Peanut” Carter the Congressional Socialist/Democrats started providing SS benefits to criminal illegal immigrants. A truly unconstitutional and immoral act carried out by our Government
We might need to seriously consider adding the Obama regime to the list of things that scare us the most - mummies, vampires and the Holy Ghost. As for their dishonesty in spooking all the seniors it’s high time to bring an immediate halt to this despicable behavior.
As for all us rapidly approaching old geezer status and for those already there no one, including those wild eyed demonic Congressional Republicans as they are so lovingly referred to by their Democrat counterparts, is gonna touch even a frog hair’s worth of our Medicare or our precious Social Security neither. Why any of us even support these Socialist initiatives is sure enough great fodder for future columns.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 122: “President Barack Gaffe Obama Does Buckingham Palace ”
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than I can recall
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, Jimmy Buffett
Dan Quayle misspelled potato once and was labeled by the left wing media elite an ignorant yahoo for life. W certainly mangled his share public remarks and was portrayed by the same crowd of liberal media so called journalist as a boneheaded cowboy with the mental capacity of a bag full of hammers.
Even the Great Communicator his self was considered as nothing more than a former B Movie actor dunce with an agreeable demeanor but an intellectual light weight. According to the pointy-headed, bleeding heart, Socialist, mainstream press corps Ronald Wilson Reagan’s low IQ would greatly impede his effectiveness as the Commander-in-Chief.
Turns out former VP Quayle was not only one of the brightest young politicians of his generation, the youngest person ever elected to the US Senate from Indiana, he has also made millions in the private sector since leaving office. Not too bad for an ignorant yahoo.
W, the only President to earn a MBA, from the liberal bastion of Harvard of all places, has demonstrated more class, dignity, integrity and restraint than any former President in recent memory. Conduct of a sage, wise, elder statesman and nothing even close to resembling a dimwitted cowboy.
Reagan brought down the Communist Soviet evil empire and reestablished our great nation as that shining city on a hill. For a bumbling empty suit former B rated actor he certainly achieved some serious world shaking accomplishments of unprecedented historical consequence.
Now let’s take a look at the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. who has been anointed by the extreme left wing press machine as a certified genius and the greatest public orator since Abe Lincoln when in reality the man is a walking, talking gaffe machine unprecedented in the annals of US political history. His current European vacation has been no exception.
Actually our fearless leader’s gaffes, misstatements, missteps, and boneheaded initiatives were in high gear this week long before he boarded Air Force One for the short flight across the pond. Following is a brief recap of Mr. Obama’s gaffe filled Week 122:
• Insulted our long standing Israeli allies, again, in favor of the terrorist backed Palestinians, once again
• Repeated Israeli insults over the weekend
• Visits Ireland and village of alleged kinfolk, drinks at local pub hours after 100’s killed back home by another major twister breakout. Same pinheads in the press that would have skinned W alive don’t say a word about the President’s obvious lack of concern for the storm victims
• Funny, he doesn’t look Irish
• Continues UBL victory lap spiking the ball and doing splits in the end zone during address to Parliament
• Signs Buckingham Palace guestbook- Michelle and Barack Obama, May 24, 2008. We can appreciate a lost weekend or two but three years is a might extreme. Then again, reckon with his record since taking office who wouldn’t want to pretend it never happened
• Without the aid of his precious teleprompter our”Silver Tongued Devil-in-Chief” just flat out butchers his formal toast to the Queen at State Dinner. Further compounding this major breach in etiquette continues talking during playing of “God Save the Queen”, an insult comparable to scratching one’s privates during a rendition of the”Star Spangled Banner”.
If these were isolated incidents and not a consistent pattern of behavior it wouldn’t be worth raising a ruckus about these Presidential screw ups. Unfortunately, we can add these to the long list of previous gaffes committed by this major mishap prone Chief Executive.
As a reminder, following is a list of some of our favorites:
• "The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system." –in remarks after a health care roundtable, July 20, 2009
• "What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." –in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying "your Christian faith," Sept. 7, 2008
• "No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." –making an off-hand joke during an appearance on "The Tonight Show", March 19, 2009
• "I've now been in 57 states — I think one left to go." —at a campaign event, May 9, 2008
• "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances." -after saying he had spoken with all the living presidents, Nov. 7, 2008
• "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? It's the Post Office that's always having problems." –attempting to make the case for government-run healthcare, Aug. 11, 2009
• "The Cambridge police acted stupidly." —commenting on a white police officer's arrest of black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. at his home in Cambridge, Mass, July 22, 2009
President Obama’s list of gaffes and mishaps is growing faster than a patch of kudzu. If former VP Quayle is ignorant yahoo, W a boneheaded cowboy, and Reagan an intellectual light weight President Obama must be a complete moron considering the number and idiocy of his missteps.
Maybe his adoring fans in the media will finally practice some real journalism after the Obama’s European vacation fiasco but we don’t really expect to see the story on the front page of the New York Times any time soon.
Note: Thanks to all the old friends for the Obama Chia. We have a healthy crop of new growth and just might be able to cover up the tips of those humongous ears.
Will keep y’all posted.

Week 122: “President Barack Gaffe Obama Does Buckingham Palace ”
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than I can recall
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, Jimmy Buffett
Dan Quayle misspelled potato once and was labeled by the left wing media elite an ignorant yahoo for life. W certainly mangled his share public remarks and was portrayed by the same crowd of liberal media so called journalist as a boneheaded cowboy with the mental capacity of a bag full of hammers.
Even the Great Communicator his self was considered as nothing more than a former B Movie actor dunce with an agreeable demeanor but an intellectual light weight. According to the pointy-headed, bleeding heart, Socialist, mainstream press corps Ronald Wilson Reagan’s low IQ would greatly impede his effectiveness as the Commander-in-Chief.
Turns out former VP Quayle was not only one of the brightest young politicians of his generation, the youngest person ever elected to the US Senate from Indiana, he has also made millions in the private sector since leaving office. Not too bad for an ignorant yahoo.
W, the only President to earn a MBA, from the liberal bastion of Harvard of all places, has demonstrated more class, dignity, integrity and restraint than any former President in recent memory. Conduct of a sage, wise, elder statesman and nothing even close to resembling a dimwitted cowboy.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 121: “Criminal Thug Rap Poetry Night at the Obama White House”
I once knew a poet
Who lived before his time
He and his dog spooner
Would listen while he'd rhyme
Words to make ya happy
Words to make you cry “The Poet”, Jimmy Buffett
In a relatively short period of time our diverse and multi-cultural nation has produced some of the most gifted and influential poets of all time. Troubled souls and patriots an eclectic group sure enough that could only exist in a country that puts such a high premium on the freedom of speech.
Poetic literary giants of the past include Louisa May Alcot; William Cullen Bryant; E. E. Cummings; Emily Dickinson; T. S. Eliot; Ralph Waldo Emerson; Robert Frost; Oliver Wendell Holmes; Joyce Kilmer; Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; Edgar Allan Poe; Carl Sandburg; Mark Twain; Henry David Thoreau; and Walt Whitman. Present day poets of note include Maya Angelou, Denise Duhamel, and Judith Skillman.
A list of folks that certainly consist of some serious head cases, tortured souls and troubled individuals chock full of inner demons. However, no one who supports and advocates convicted cop killers and therein lays the rub.
Turns out the First Couple invited the likes of some foul mouthed, criminal, thug, Hip Hop, low life rapper named Common to headline Children’s Poetry Day at the White House last week. With such a rich heritage of American Poets to choose from to inspire and motivate the youngins extending the invitation to a racist, misogynous, common criminal seems extreme even for this bunch.
That is right on up to the time we find out Common, just like his good friends the Obamas, is a disciple of the GD America racist leader of the radically extreme Black Liberation Theology Church, the always effervescing Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Obviously another blatant attempt by the Socialist Obama Regime to win the hearts and minds of America’s youth over to their left of left Marxist agenda.
According to the left wing media elite press boneheads when compared to most gangster rappers Common is nothing but a harmless boy scout. His abusive language, racist remarks, and advocacy of violence pale in comparison to the hardcore criminal rappers leading this no talent and totally lacking of any socially redemptive qualities fringe element of our seriously misguided youth that need to pull up their drawers, turn around the baseball caps and learn to speak English.
His glorification of convicted cop killers is nothing more than an overly enthusiastic youthful indiscretion. The liberal’s defense of this bottom feeding accomplice to murder is truly a sad commentary on the state of the free press and so called progressive thought leaders in this country.
Following is a representative list of Common “The Choir Boy’s” alleged harmless Titles and Lyrics:
• A Song for Assata (convicted of killing State Trooper) - In the Spirit of God.
In the Spirit of the Ancestors.
In the Spirit of the Black Panthers.
In the Spirit of Assata Shakur.
We make this movement towards freedom
for all those who have been oppressed, and all those in the struggle.
Yeah. yo, Mofo
• "Letter to the Law," "Burn a Bush 'cause for peace he no push no button" (A call for killing W) and also ,” talks of Uzi submachine guns, “the black strap to make the cops run,”
• Communism - Like an entrepreneur, that stepped in manure
man I'm newer than a Jack I went up the hill with Jill
And jack Jill's big bootay
But did the booty up, I told the bitch she better have my money
Or step to the AMG
You know Com Sense, oh yeah him be
That nigga that be making all the by-by-by-bye sounds
But since then, Common calm down!
I'm on some calm shit watch Com get complicated
Simple MF say the way that Com communicated
• “When I go/ I want to be known like El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz,” or Malcolm-X, a black-supremacist.
• Another rap includes a passage criticizing white women who date black men: “I don’t know what it is/ but white girls gettin’ ass/ I know what it is/ It’s cash.”
Please tell us our First Couple can do better by our youngins than this unadulterated sleaze. A White House endorsement of this “Common Criminal” demeans the office and the stature of the Presidency to a level not seen around these parts since the abject incompetence of the Peanut Administration and criminality of the Nixon White House.
If W or any other Republican knowingly not only associated with but also endorsed a racist, criminal scumbag the likes of Common by giving him a platform at the White House the main stream media elite would have run them out of town on a rail, justifiably so. Their silence about the no talent thug rapper Common is deafening.
Next time the Obamas get a hankering to invite a poet/song writer to the White House we’d highly recommend Buffett, Jerry Jeff, Hank Jr. or Toby Keith. In our way of reckoning “A Country Boy Can Survive” beats the hell out of “Pimp Diddy Ho Down” when celebrating great American poetry hands down, no contest, each and every time, ain’t no never mind about it.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 120: “Mr. Obama Takes a Victory Lap”
So he bought a town, but he sold the sea
Claimed a shallow victory
On an iron ship, with a wooden crew
They hit the reef when the moon was new
Now he cries himself to sleep
On a beach made of promises he meant to keep
Long ago
Nobody speaks to the captain no more
Nobody talks about the war
Hey what the hell were we fighting for
Such a long, long time ago “Nobody Speaks To The Captain No More”, Jimmy Buffett
For a man who claimed he didn’t want to be perceived as “spiking the football” in celebration of our successful assassination of the terrorist coward Usama Bin Laden last week our Dirty Harry-in-Chief, “That’s my chopper Charlie. This is my gun, Clyde“, sure enough seems to be milking it for all it’s worth. In addition to spiking the football he’s also break dancing in the end zone; jumping jubilantly into the front row seats; pulling out the cell phone; and capping it all off with a double pump reverse dunk over the goal post.
Truth be told our Nobel Peace Prize Winner-in-Chief is taking a victory lap of Obamic proportions. Over blown, over stated, undeserved and over rated.
Since announcing to the world his self proclaimed brilliant, courage’s, wise, sage, momentous, monumental, and historic decision to send in SEAL team 6 to kill UBL Mr. Obama has plum wore himself out patting his own back. Following is a brief recap of the President’s week of not spiking the football following UBL’s death:
• Monday during a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House honoring two Korean War soldiers Mr. Obama says it's "a better world" with UBL in Davy Jones' locker.
• Thursday President Obama lays a wreath at Ground Zero and meets with 9/11 families
• Friday he visits Ft. Campbell, Kentucky and meets with members of Navy SEAL Team 6.
• Sunday a propaganda fest with 60 Minute’s Steve Croft
Not that we blame the President for the excessive celebration. Especially when you consider the fact that this Administration’s successes have been so few and far between.
Reckon we just can’t expect much more from a tacky Yankee lawyer. Although a little humility, decorum, dignity and class would be a welcome change of pace.
In fact, a lot more humility may be in order as the more we learn about what really led the President to make what initially appeared to be such a gutsy decisive move the more it seems that something just ain’t right. Consider the following questions, inconsistencies, misleading and just downright bizarre remarks and responses, especially during his propaganda session with 60 Minute’s Mr. Pucker Up Buttercup Croft.
• “Loose Lips Sink Ships”. Why does the Obama White House release every minuet detail about this and every counter terror mission they conduct. The public and especially the Jihadist just don’t need to know the specifics about every mission.
For 7 years during W’s watch we heard rumors and rumblings but when it came to any mission specifics their lips were shut tighter than a tick.
The current bunch is so insecure about their anti-terror cred, with good reason we might add, they irresponsibly spill the beans in a pathetic effort to secure affirmation.
• According to the President the CIA informed him about this opportunity last August and advised him there was a 55 percent chance UBL was actually holed up there. Again, according to the President, the exact same odds when he gave the order to proceed last week.
So what in tarnashin took the great decisive one 9 months to finally pull the trigger? Considering the SEALS are good to go on a moment’s notice, who knows how many terrorist plots were hatched and executed, and how many causalities we endured while the President vacillated on another major military decision?
Viewed from this perspective this was anything but a gutsy, decisive and courage’s move by our fearless leader and in reality just more of the same governance by committee and limp wristed foreign policy.
• In response to one of Steve Crofts many ridiculous and almost in the realm of hero worship questions Mr. Obama remarked his biggest concern was getting the SEAL team out if confronted with some unforeseen calamity. On the surface certainly sounds like a legitimate concern and by no means to diminish the mortal danger inherent with any mission of this nature but when really scrutinized as usual the President is taking liberties with the truth.
Consider the following: 1. The element of surprise is always an advantage 2. We knew exactly how many bad guys were in the compound and where they are typically located. 3. Downtown Abbotabad ain’t exactly a hostile environment for US troops. A busload traveling down the road is a fairly common occurrence. 4. In the highly unlikely event all 4 black hawks were unflyable the SEALS could depart by bus, truck, cab, or even by foot and arrive safely at the U.S. Embassy in time for the breakfast buffet. 5. Ain’t no never mind about it if it came down to it 40 Navy SEALS would sure enough kick the entire Pakistani Army’s ass.
• President Obama seemed fixated on the fact the raid had taken place in pitch black darkness, stressed how this increased the danger and made repeated references to this part of the mission during his love fest with Croft. The only problem with this point of view is our Special Opps folks strongly prefer night missions as our night vision technology is unparallel and provides the good guys with an overwhelming military advantage.
• A major White House talking point has been the “treasure trove” of information confiscated from UBL’s house. We have been subjected to this phrase ad naseum by the President and his Democrat comrades. Again, why are we going public with this intelligence? Wouldn’t it make more sense to keep Omar in the dark, not knowing what if anything was found instead of describing in detail the contents of every item for no other reason but to give the President a political talking point?
President Obama concluded his propaganda session with Croft by making the following macho statement which was so obviously out of character for our anti-military, pacifist, Islamic Jihadist sympathizer Chief Executive Officer: “As nervous as I was about this whole process, the one thing I didn't lose sleep over was the possibility of taking bin Laden out. Justice was done. And I think that anyone who would question that the perpetrator of mass murder on American soil didn't deserve what he got needs to have their head examined”.
Instead of making an extended victory lap and doing his best Dirty Harry impressions, “I know what you’re thinking: 'Did he fire six shots, or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?”, the country would be much better served if the President would shut up for a change, keep Omar guessing, and conduct his affairs with a little discretion and real decisive leadership for a change.
If his record to date is any indication of future events we all best just get ready to wave back as he passes by on his seemingly endless Barack Husain Obama victory lap.

Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?”, the country would be much better served if the President would shut up for a change, keep Omar guessing, and conduct his affairs with a little discretion and real decisive leadership for a change.
If his record to date is any indication of future events we all best just get ready to wave back as he passes by on his seemingly endless Barack Husain Obama victory lap.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 119: “An Irony of Historic Proportions”
“My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch”, Jack Nicholson
After almost ten years of some serious chopping with painfully few chips flying an U.S. Navy Seal put a bullet through the head of the symbolic face of worldwide Islamic Jihadist terrorism and evil personified, Osama Bin Laden. To our and many other like minded folk’s amazement the order to take out this cowardly bastard actually originated from the most pacifist, anti-military, American apologist, Islamic terrorist sympathizer, global citizen to ever occupy the Oval Office, Barack Husain Obama.
Ironic? Is the Pope Catholic; are Yankees tacky, does Obama have humongous gargantuan size ears? The air around the White House is so thick with irony you could cut it with a knife.
Who would have ever thunk it? Our most undeserving or more accurately notorious Nobel Peace Prize recipient won’t be remembered as the President that brought us Socialized Medicine, fiscal calamity or new bonds of friendship with his beloved Nation of Islam. Mr. Obama for ever more will be recognized as the American Commander-in-Chief that killed Osama Bin Laden.
From President Obama’s way of reckoning a most dubious honor. W and probably everyone of his predecessors, with the probable exception of Jimmy “The Peanut” Carter, would consider it as a great honor to be remembered for an achievement of such historical significance.
Certainly not the first President to fall victim to political and military irony that has helped formulate the historical standing and legacies of so many US Chief Executives. Starting with a few of our most revered founding fathers right up to the current Obama Regime examples abound:
1. Thomas Jefferson – Author of the Declaration of Independence proclaiming every man’s divine right to liberty with no distinctions based on race; known as a champion of limited Government; believed in low taxes and balanced budgets
• Irony – owned hundreds of slaves, never freed them, even conducted a long term relationship with one that had several of his children
• Made the largest US Government expenditures to date without Congressional approval or Constitutional authority, the Louisiana Purchase
• Accumulated huge amounts of personal debt leaving his estate essentially bankrupt and insolvent
2. Abraham Lincoln – Assassinated after leading Union to a hard fought and costly victory in the War for Southern Independence
• Irony – Had comprehensive plans to repatriate the South without the harsh, destructive, and oppressive measures that were implemented during reconstruction that set reconciliation back for decades
3. Harry Truman – Kept in the dark by Roosevelt and his Ivey League pinheads about the A bomb who all considered Harry a no count white trash yahoo.
• Irony – After FDR’S death the so thought yahoo Truman made a decisive and courage’s decision to drop the bomb on Japan saving millions of Allied lives and bringing a rapid conclusion to the war by securing an unconditional surrender from the Japanese
4. Ike – A five star General and Supreme Commander of Allied Forces during WWII who was overwhelmingly elected to the US Presidency after defeating Hitler with the largest and most technologically advanced army the world had ever seen
• Irony – The same man who coined the phrase and warned us of the dangers of creating a “Vast Industrial Military Complex“
5. George H W Bush – A genuine, bona fide, decorated war hero who was an Ace fighter pilot in WWII battling the Japanese in the Pacific
• Irony - Tagged by the left wing media elite press and political opponents as a wimp
6. Bill “Are you my new Intern darlin” Clinton - second US President to ever be impeached
• Irony – now considered one of the best Presidents of all time according to public opinion polls and certainly one of the most financially prosperous post Presidency
7. Barack Husain Obama – The most anti-war; anti-military; American apologist; Blame America first; Marxist; Socialist; Communist; Bolshevik; Racist; Class warfare advocating; weak kneed; limp wristed; Islamic Jihadist sympathizer; potential closet Muslim; Overseas contingency planner; manmade disaster; down grader of the War on Terrorism; Nobel Peace Prize winning; Government take overers of healthcare, energy, auto, financial, housing, agriculture, school lunches and pee wee football industries; criminally out of control spender of other people’s money; President to ever take the Oath of Office
• Irony – Ain’t no never mind about it no matter how much BS the Obama propaganda machine spews out about the mostly insane Socialist ideals and initiatives listed above the President would be plum tickled pink to be remembered for to his great chagrin from this point in time forward he’ll be known as the man that killed Usama Bin Laden
President Obama, his National Security team, the CIA, W and his Administration for their diligence for almost eight years and especially the Navy Seals Team 60 assault group all deserve credit for their bold decision to use a ground force intervention and their success in killing UBL while suffering zero US causalities. Thank the lord W had the foresight to use enhanced interrogation that paid off in spades with the acquisition of intelligence that started the chain evidence ultimately leading to President Obama’s order to take UBL out.
Sure is ironic how so many plans don’t turn out as initially intended. W fails to get UBL during his tenure but receives widespread praise, much deserving we might add. When Obama and his staff of seriously reluctant anti-terrorist warriors have the boy systematically executed.
The ironic icing on the cake W’s policies of using enhanced interrogation techniques, water boarding, serves as the catalyst of securing Mr. Obama’s place in history as the American President who killed UBL. Poetic justice at its damn sure ironic best.
