Thoughts on Obama From Bama

Week 151: “Captain Barack, Edward Smith, Obama”

Now away in the near future
Southeast of disorder
You can shake the hand of the mango man
As he greats you at the border

Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
That our forefathers harnessed before us
Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings
It's a son of a gun of a chorus

Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
So I cruise along always searchin' for songs
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker

But a son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer

I'm just a son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
Son of a Son of a Sailor, Jimmy Buffett

During our Campaigner-in-Chief’s most recent media propaganda fest on CBS’s 60 Minutes with left wing extremist head case Steve Croft, who really should make a little effort to hide his man crush on the President, Mr. Obama used a nautical analogy to describe his ship wreck of a presidency. Captain Obama said the following:

• You know, sometimes when I'm talkin' to my team, I describe us as, you know, I'm the captain and they're the crew on a ship, goin' through really bad storms. And no matter how well we're steerin' the ship, if the boat's rockin' back and forth and people are gettin' sick and, you know, they're bein' buffeted by the winds and the rain and you know, at a certain point if you're askin', 'Are you enjoying the ride right now?' Folks are gonna say, 'No.' And are they gonna say, 'Do you think the captain's doing a good job?' People are gonna say, 'You know what? A good captain would have had us in some smooth waters and sunny skies, at this point.' And I don't control the weather. What I can control are the policies we're putting in place to make a difference in people's lives.

We agree with the nautical analogy but would suggest a comparison with the Titanic and its arrogant and reckless Captain, Edward Smith, by far more accurately describes this Administration’s failed first and hopefully only term of office. Truth be told the Titanic is the perfect metaphor to describe the entire Obama presidency.

All of the following are sure enough applicable:

• Arrogant disregard of reality
• Gross/criminal negligence
• Unbelievable incompetence
• Blame others (the iceberg)
• Sunk and still sinking – the economy
• Lost at sea – VP Biden
• Man the life boats – Obama’s foreign policy
• SOS – our country’s desperate call for help
• Full speed ahead – the President’s Marxist/Socialist agenda


True to form Croft didn’t challenge the President’s ridiculous analogy including his blaming the weather for the turbulent voyage. Consistent with previous interviews Croft just let our Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric–in-Chief dribble on with his lies, race baiting, class warfare, and wealth redistribution diatribes.

In our relentless pursuit to educate and inform our fellow citizens we retained the public watchdog group Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire (LLPF) to rank the truthfulness and veracity of the President’s remarks. On a scale of 1- the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth to 10 – lying like a cheap rug, the president scored a 52.

Following are a few examples of his most outrageous comments and the LLPF rating:

• Kroft: But they're not happy with the way you're doing your job. You've got 75 percent of the people in the country think it's headed in the wrong direction. Seventy-five percent. And 54 percent don't think that you deserve to be re-elected. I mean, those are not good numbers with 11 months to go before the election.
• Obama: Well, look. We've gone through an incredibly difficult time in this country. And I would be surprised if the American people felt satisfied right now. They shouldn't feel satisfied. We've got a lot more work to do in order to get this country and the economy moving in a way that benefits everybody, as opposed to just a few. LLPF-5. FIRST CLASS WARFARE SALVO
• Obama - This is a make or break moment for the middle class and for all those who are fighting to get into the middle class. Because what's at stake is whether this will be a country where working people can earn enough to raise a family, build a modest savings, own a home, secure their retirement Their philosophy is simple: we are better off when everyone is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules. I am here to say they are wrong. LLPF- 43.
• Kroft: I mean, you were really talking about income inequality, which suggests redistribution of wealth. There are gonna be people who say, 'This is the socialist Obama and he's come out of the closet.'
• Obama: Look, the-- everybody's at-- concerned about inequality. LLPF-57. Those folks in there, who were listenin' to the speech, those are teachers and small business people, and probably some small town bankers, who are in there thinking to themselves, 'How is it that I, we're workin' so hard,' and meanwhile, they know that corporate profits are at a record level, that a lot of folks are doin' very well. What's happened to the bargain? What's happened to the American deal that says, you know, we are focused on building a strong middle class? PURE D SOCIALIST DOCTRINE
• Kroft: Look, we're getting close to the start of the presidential campaign. Does this mean no more governing for the next year until next November? I don't mean just for you, I mean, for Congress. Do you have any hope that anything is gonna get accomplished between now and the next election?
• Obama: If I have anything to do about it, absolutely. LLPF-73. We're gonna keep on pushing to get things done. I want to work with Congress. LLPF-95. I want to work with both parties in Congress. LLPF- 107. I think that we can still make progress on a balanced approach to deficit reduction. LLPF- 78
• Kroft: Since the midterm elections, you made an effort at bipartisanship. LLPF- 54. It hasn't worked out that way. And it seems to me, it appears, watching you the last month or so, that you're-- stopped reaching out to Republicans. That you're being-- that you're going on the offensive.
• Obama: I think that when I came into office in 2008, it was my firm belief that at such an important moment in our history, there was no reason why Democrats and Republicans couldn't put some of the old ideological baggage aside and focus on common sense, what works, practical solutions to the tough problems we were facing. And I think the Republicans made a different calculation, which was, 'You know what? We really screwed up the economy. Obama seems popular. Our best bet is to stand on the sidelines, 'cause we think the economy's gonna get worse, and at some point, just blame him.' And so we haven't gotten the kind of engagement from them that I would have liked. LLPF-32
• Kroft: They don't like you much better. It's only seven percent approval rating.
• Obama: Yeah, no, I understand. But I think that they like the ideas that we put forward. I mean, the interesting thing is the majority of Republicans actually think we should have a balanced approach to deficit reduction, including tax increases for the wealthy. The majority of Republicans do think that we should make investments in roads and bridges and improving our airports and investing in basic research and medical research. LLPF-79
• Kroft: There's a general perception that the stimulus was not enough. That it really didn't work
• Obama: Let me stop you there, Steve. First of all, there's not a general perception that the stimulus didn't work. You've got John McCain's former economist and a whole series of prominent economists, who say that it created or saved three million jobs and prevented us from goin' into a Great Depression. That works. So that's not true. LLPF- OFF THE CHARTS
• Kroft: Why do you think you deserve to be re-elected? What have you accomplished?
• Obama: Not only saving this country from a Great Depression. Not only saving the auto industry. But putting in place a system in which we're gonna start lowering health care costs and you're never gonna go bankrupt because you get sick or somebody in your family gets sick. Makin' sure that we have reformed the financial system, so we never again have taxpayer-funded bailouts and the system is more stable and secure. LLPF-48. PRESIDENT SMITH IS CRAZIER THAN A RUNT OVER DOG
• Kroft: You're being judged now on your performance.
• Obama: No, no, no. I'm being judged against the ideal. And, you know, Joe Biden has a good expression. He says-- "Don't judge me against the Almighty, judge me against the alternative." THE ANOINTED ONE SURE ENOUGH HAS A BONA FIDE GOD COMPLEX


Sticking with the nautical theme Captain Obama has been busier than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest bailing water trying to keep his presidency afloat. Hopefully like Captain Smith before him President Obama’s Administration is sailing into an electoral shipwreck of Titanic proportions.

Thoughts on Obama From Bama

Week 150: “Desperately In Search of a Kindred Spirit”

Then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel
Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore)
Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge,
But all you want to do is learn how to score

Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair
But I can go to movies and see it all there
Just the way that it used to be

That's why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
The "Boston Blackie" kind
A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine

Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby
If I only had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could do some cruisin' too

Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah
Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
I Wish I Had a Pencil Thin Mustache, Jimmy Buffett

Reckon when one realize he sure enough just might be the worst president in the history of the Union it’s only natural to attempt to conjure up positive comparisons with successful predecessors. Lord knows the current occupant of the Oval Office has made a desperate attempt and miserably failed to establish a kindred spirit with several truly great former presidents.

Bless his deceitful little bleeding liberal heart Mr. Obama’s propaganda machine is making an all out effort advancing the absolutely absurd notion he is the collective reincarnation of Washington, Jefferson, Honest Abe, TR, FDR, Give um Hell Harry, We Like Ike, Kennedy, Reagan, and Saturday Night Bill Clinton. Truth be told any similarities with these men of courage, leadership, vision, patriotism, and real substance, with the exception of Saturday Night Bill, are few and far between.

A one on one comparison of our young, inept, incompetent, corrupt, dishonest, unethical, hyper partisan and criminally negligent Identity Crisis-in-Chief is illuminating to say the least. Consider the following:

• Washington – A man of great physical courage; moral courage; conviction; integrity; a true leader; an ardent patriot.
• Similarities with Obama – None; nada; zero; goose egg; night and day; coke and pepsi; southern gentlemen and tacky Yankee; a person with class and no count white trash
• Jefferson – A true patriot; advocate of American exceptionalism; champion of limited government; and leader of men
• Similarities with Obama – Both are hyper partisan even devious politicians. Otherwise none; nada; zero; goose egg; night and day; coke and pepsi; southern gentlemen and tacky Yankee; a person with class and no count white trash
• Honest Abe – Truly a visionary leader. A patriot, inspirational, decisive Commander-in-Chief
• Similarities with Obama – Both from Illinois and long, lanky builds and humongous floppy ears. Other than that none; nada; zero; goose egg; night and day; coke and pepsi; southern gentlemen and tacky Yankee; and a person with class and no count white trash
• TR, Teddy Roosevelt – A real force of nature, war hero, and a man of true convictions
• Similarities with Obama – some populist and socialist leanings but when it comes to substance none; nada; zero; goose egg; night and day; coke and pepsi; southern gentlemen and tacky Yankee; a person with class and no count white trash
• FDR – A brilliant and effective war time president who provided inspired leadership during the most challenging of times
• Similarities with Obama – Some agreement on socialist entitlement initiatives but as for real leadership none; nada; zero; goose egg; night and day; coke and pepsi; southern gentlemen and tacky Yankee; a person with class and no count white trash
• Give um Hell Harry – Hardnosed, direct, honest, responsible leader
• Similarities with Obama – Absolutely nothing; none; nada; zero; goose egg; night and day; coke and pepsi; southern gentlemen and tacky Yankee; a person with class and no count white trash
• We Like Ike – Led most important military operation of WWII, D Day. One of history’s greatest military figures compared to Mr Obama who views our armed forces as nothing more than a photo opp
• Similarities with Obama – Not even a frog’s hair worth, none; nada; zero; goose egg; night and day; coke and pepsi; southern gentlemen and tacky Yankee; a person with class and no count white trash
• Kennedy – Genuine war hero, inspired millions, a man of vision
• Similarities with Obama – hankering to associate with a certain criminal element but for issues of any real consequence none; nada; zero; goose egg; night and day; coke and pepsi; southern gentlemen and tacky Yankee; a person with class and no count white trash
• Reagan – Conservative thought leader, passionate advocate of liberty, freedom, and democratic agenda, victorious cold warrior
• Similarities with Obama – None; nada; zero; goose egg; night and day; coke and pepsi; southern gentlemen and tacky Yankee; a person with class and no count white trash. As different as lightening and a lightening bug


Mr. Obama’s actual presidential kindred spirits consist of a bunch of incompetent and/or corrupt Chief Executives that most historians consider the bottom of the barrel. Folks on this dubious list typically include the likes of Warren G. Harding, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, William Henry Harrison, Millard Fillmore, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and probably Mr Obama’s closest kindred spirit and we’re powerfully hesitant to admit fellow Southerner, Jimmy “Peanut“ Carter.

We don’t expect the Obama propaganda team will be advancing the similarities with the list of malcontents above anytime soon but hopefully the ludicrous comparisons to our greatest Commander-in-Chiefs will come to an abrupt halt. It’s embarrassing, just downright absurd, and the thought of including the name Obama in the same sentence with Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln is as crazy as an outhouse rat.

Week 149: “Abandon Ship”

Boys in the band ordered boat drinks
Visitors scored on the home rink
Everything seems to be wrong

Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap air fare
I gotta to fly to saint somewhere
I’m close to bodily harm

Twenty degrees and the hockey games on
Nobody cares they are way too far gone
Screamin boat drinks, something to keep em all warm

This mornin, I shot six holes in my freezer
I think I got cabin fever
Somebody sound the alarm

Boat Drinks, Jimmy Buffett

Sound the alarm, Katie bar the door, somebody alert the media, friends and allies of our Pariah-in-Chief are abandoning ship faster than a scalded dog running home to Momma. Folks that less than three short years ago worshiped the ground the great anointed one walked on our running for cover and avoiding Mr Obama as if he was inflicted with the mad cow, leprosy or a raging case of the clap.

A long list of disenchanted former friends and supporters is spreading faster than a patch of kudzu. Most are giving the Chief Executive the cold shoulder for reasons of political expediency, a few because incarceration and several have been actually thrown under the bus by the President after their unethical, perverted and/or unscrupulous conduct went public.

His radical leftwing circle of friends is shrinking faster than George’s manhood of Seinfeld fame after a frigid late night swim. Notable recent examples include:

• Prominent Democratic Senators McCaskill, Casey, Manchin, Nelson, Pryor and, Webb who were all where abouts unknown during recent taxpayer funded Obama campaign trips to their respective states
• Saturday Night Bill Clinton who ain’t really ever particularly cared for the junior Senator from Illinois anyhow
• Ole fellow corrupt Chicago political hacks and convicted felons the one and only Governor Blogo and bagman Tony Resko who arranged the Obama’s illegal sweetheart mortgage for their North shore mansion both of which are currently guest of the Illinois Department of Prisons and Corrections
• Congressmen’s Anthony Weiner’s resignation after his perv sex texting was publically exposed
• Prominent business folks including liberal New York Daily News owner Mortimer Zuckerman who have grown weary of his incompetence and class warfare rhetoric


A devastating blow to the American Liberal movement was Representative Barney “Freddy in the Fanny Mac“Frank’s announcement this week he will be retiring at the end of his current term. Truly a wild eyed, left wing, radical extremist he will be greatly missed by his political soul mate and BFF in the White House.

Barney “Freddy in the Fanny Mac“Frank’s liberal legacy rivals the likes of his Massachusetts comrades Tip O’Neil and Teddy “the Lady Killer, literally“Kennedy. His thirty plus year controversial and at times just downright strange political career is definitely worth a quick review:

• Born March 31, 1940 and raised in New Jersey. As a teenager said to spent summers touring Moscow, Beijing, Havana, San Francisco and Key West
• Graduated from Harvard College and just like his good bud Barack Harvard Law School
• U.S. Representative for Massachusetts's 4th congressional district (1981–present). Former chairman of the House Financial Services Committee 2007–2011
• Officially came out of the closet in 1987 becoming the first member of Congress to do so voluntarily
• In 1985 Frank hired Steve Gobie for sex, a male prostitute. Gobie moved in and ran a male escort service out of Barn’s DC home. The House voted 408–18 to reprimand Frank for his criminal and despicable conduct
• Barney “Freddy in the Fanny Mac“Frank’s current life companion was recently busted for growing his own private stash of weed in Barn’s backyard. Of course ole Barn is pleading ignorance and claimed he wouldn’t recognize a marijuana plant if it snuck up and bit him on his cute little tushy


Barney “Freddy in the Fanny Mac“Frank’s most grievous public policy debacle was his fervent advocacy of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 2003, while the ranking minority member on the Financial Services Committee Frank opposed the Bush administration in response to transferring oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from Congress to the Treasury Department..

Frank stated, "These two entities ...are not facing any kind of financial crisis ... The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing." In 2003, Frank also stated "I do not want the same kind of focus on safety and soundness [in the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac] that we have in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision. I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing.”

At Barn’s insistence Fannie and Freddie made trillions in bad loans leading to the housing bubble and the financial crash in 2008. Along with Senator Chris “Sweetheart Deal Countrywide Boy” Barney “Freddy in the Fanny Mac“Frank is one of two individuals most responsible for our current fiscal calamity.

In light of these revelations retirement is far too generous for this arrogant; belligerent; criminal; deviant; nasty; ultra liberal; Marxist/Socialist; elitist; bonehead. Ole Barn deserves to be run out of town on a rail and hung up by his lavender color painted toe nails.

For good measure he should also be banned from ever attending another Broadway Musical or visiting Key West and San Francisco again. This may seem like cruel and unusual punishment but little Barney is most deserving of this and actually much worse.

Barney “Freddy in the Fanny Mac “Frank is abandoning ship and his departure can’t come soon enough. Let’s hope Mr Obama walks hand in hand with the boy into an early retirement.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 148: “Veto This Mr. President”

I'm a piece of work, I'm iron and lace I'm shy, I'm right up in your face

I'm all dumbfounded, stubborn as an ass
Sharp as an arrow in a pile of glass.

I'm a sweetheart, genius, reckless jerk.

Lord, have mercy, I'm a piece of work
I'm a piece of work, Jimmy Buffett

With the abject failure of the so called Congressional “Super Committee”, the twelve poor dumb pilgrims charged with finding a paltry $1.2 trillion in debt reduction over the next ten years as part of the debt ceiling deal, our Record Breaking Spender of Other People’s Money-In-Chief wasted no time at all firing up the ole tele-prompter, hitting the airwaves blaming the GOP and advancing his racist, generational and class warfare campaign agenda. His only chance at reelection as running on his dismal economic and bend over, grab his ankles, thank you sir may I have another citizen of the world failed foreign policy record will surely lead to untold heart-ache and calamity for the Obama faithful.

In a particularly mean spirited and belligerent address Mr. Obama really took Congressional Republicans to the proverbial political woodshed repeatedly accusing them of putting party ahead of Country in their deliberations. Of course he conveniently forgot to mention there were also 6 Democrats on the set up for failure “Super Committee“ and last time we checked former boxer and currently punch drunk Harry Reid still heads up the Democrat Majority in the US Senate.

From a series of typical ludicrous remarks following are a few examples of his most ridiculous and misleading comments:

• Good afternoon. As you all know, last summer I signed a law that will cut nearly $1 trillion of spending over the next 10 years. Part of that law also required Congress to reduce the deficit by an additional $1.2 trillion by the end of this year. (to cut spending $2.2 trillion over the next 10 years represents a 2% reduction or there abouts. Anybody who thinks tax increases are necessary to achieve this objective is crazier than an outhouse rat)
• In September, I sent them a detailed plan that would have gone above and beyond that goal. It’s a plan that would reduce the deficit by an additional $3 trillion, by cutting spending, slowing the growth of Medicare and Medicaid, and asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share. (fair share-code phrase for tax high wage earners and massive wealth redistribution)
• In addition to my plan, there were a number of other bipartisan plans for them to consider from both Democrats and Republicans, all of which promoted a balanced approach. This kind of balanced approach to reducing our deficit — an approach where everybody gives a little bit, and everyone does their fair share — is supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans — Democrats, independents, and Republicans. It’s supported by experts and economists from all across the political spectrum. And to their credit, many Democrats in Congress were willing to put politics aside and commit to reasonable adjustments that would have reduced the cost of Medicare, as long as they were part of a balanced approach. (he used the words fair share 4,545 times in a 4 minute speech-code phrase for tax high wage earners and massive wealth redistribution)
• So when everybody gets back from Thanksgiving and I complete another tax payer funded cross country campaign swing and a few dozen rounds of golf it ‘will be time to appear to get some work done for the American people. All around the country, Americans are working hard to live within their means and meet their responsibilities. And I know they expect Washington to do the same.


In addition to this same ole, chock full of lies, boring, boring, boring rhetoric the President did make one new just downright troubling remark about the automatic triggers that will kick in with the Committee’s failure to reach an agreement. $1.2 trillion of mandatory spending cuts, half from across the boards domestic programs and half from an already decimated defense budget.

This is what our reluctant Commander-in-Chief had to say about these reckless, irresponsible, unprecedented and dangerous spending cuts to the defense budget:

• Now, the question right now is whether we can reduce the deficit in a way that helps the economy grow, that operates with a scalpel, not with a hatchet, and if not, whether Congress is willing to stick to the painful deal that we made in August for the automatic cuts. Already, some in Congress are trying to undo these automatic spending cuts.
• My message to them is simple: No. I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending. There will be no easy off ramps on this one.

Barack Husain Obama has already committed several boneheaded and most likely impeachable acts since taking the Oath of Office including:

1. Taking justified what for from a French President about his negligent and Socialist fiscal policies
2. Running up just south of $5 trillion in additional debt in just 148 weeks
3. Giving our enemy a date certain troop withdrawal schedule
4. Passing state secrets to his comrades in Moscow, Beijing, and Havana (if he actually hasn’t done this he sure as hell been thinking about it)


Now he’s threatening to veto any bill that would maintain our national defense and security because he doesn’t want to give Republicans any political advantage. Ain’t no never mind about it Mr. Obama’s most impeachable infraction to date.

President Obama’s veto threat is the epitome of irresponsible, reckless, blatant political expediency. The only veto we should be thinking about is vetoing his happy ass out of office.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 147: “Barack Douglas C. Neidermeyer Obama”

I've been lazy most all of my life
Writing songs and sleeping late
Any manual labor I've done purely by mistake
If street sweepers can smile then
I've got no right to feel upset
But sometimes I still forget
Till the lights go on and the stage is set
And the song hits home and you feel that sweat

It's my job to be different than the rest
and that's enough reason to go for me
It's my job to be better than the best
and that's a tough break for me
It's my job to be cleaning up this mess
and that's enough reason to go for me
It's my job to be better than the best
and that makes the day for me
“It’s My Job”, Jimmy Buffett

“You’re all worthless and weak! Now drop and give me twenty” Douglas C. Neidermeyer, Animal House

Our CEO/Advocate-in-Chief seems too done lost his mind and is totally ignoring one of the primary responsibilities of the President of these here United States of America. Instead of aggressively and enthusiastically promoting the virtues of our great nation for some strange reason Mr. Obama is hell bent on accusing the very same country he swore on a Koran, um Bible, to lead and protect of all manner of bad behavior resulting in our current dismal financial condition.

It sure enough is damn sure difficult to determine if our Critic of Mom, Baseball and Apple Pie-in-Chief is truly on our fightin side. Based on recent comments it sure doesn’t seem so.

• “Dress that line. Dress that line, mister! Dress that line, soldier. Mister, hold my mount. [to Kent] You fat, disgusting slob! You're a damned disgrace! … Redo those buttons! Dress that belt buckle! Straighten that cap! And damn it, tuck up those pajamas! Attention! Eyes front! What's that on your chest, mister? Kent: It's a pledge pin, sir. A pledge pin! On your uniform? Just tell me, mister, what fraternity would pledge a man like you? Kent: It's a Delta pin, sir”

Following are a few disturbing examples of our President’s low opinion of the country he leads:

• "We've been a bit lazy over the last couple of decades. We've kind of taken for granted-well, people would want to come here - and we aren't that hungry, selling America and attracting new business,"
• “America has grown “a little soft”
• “We have lost our ambition, our imagination and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge,”
• “We suck, we are bunch of greedy imperialist capitalist that should follow the lead of our French and Cuban comrades”
(Even if he didn’t exactly say it he damn sure is thinking it)

American Exceptionalism, the Shining City on a Hill, promoting worldwide democracy and using American influence to advance our strategic interest just ain’t included in this President’s DNA. He truly is a secular progressive, ultra left wing, hopeless liberal, citizen of the world who views America as an oppressive tyrannical super power instead of the world’s beacon of hope and freedom.

During this seemingly endless economic tsunami and dangerous international challenges the kind of inspired leadership we need like Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell need another double chocolate cream filled doughnut. If only our young and so misguided President would follow the lead of a few of his predecessors and several other political and business thought leaders:

• "America is too great for small dreams."
-Ronald Reagan
• "Whoever says Americas best days are behind it are looking the wrong direction."
-George H.W. Bush
• Ronald Reagan- The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away.
• Theodore Roosevelt- It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort.
• Harry S. Truman- America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination, and unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." –Abraham Lincoln
“The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism.” –George Washington
• “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” Albert Einstein
My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them. Winston Churchill

Ain’t no never mind about it that’s some serious, uplifting, motivational, truly inspirational words of hope, promise and opportunity. Sure enough beats hell out of being called worthless and weak; fat; slobs; disgraces; lazy; soft; unimaginitive; uninventive; poor dumb pilgrims by the current occupant of the Oval Office.

Otter: Take it easy, I'm pre-law.

Otter: Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did.
Otter: But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 146: “Truth Be Told”

I'm just an old truth teller
I'm your candid friend
I'm not some daydream seller
I do not pretend
I've a sense of survival
And screwing my rivals
That's labeled me crossed and uncouth
But I can't help it I just tell the truth
He can't help it, he just tells the truth
Just an Old Truth Teller, Jimmy Buffett

Not often, but on sure enough truly rare occasions, we get a glance at the real nature and character of our 44th President. Truth Be Told the unvarnished, no tele-prompter, unscripted reality about Barack Husain Obama’s genuine view of the grand scheme of things is so ugly it would scare a dog off a meat wagon.

Our most recent sneak preview of Mr. Obama’s true and unfiltered views was an incident that occurred this week at the G20 summit in France. President Obama and French president Nicolas Sarkozy made derogatory remarks about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu they thought were private but were actually over heard by a live mike.

According to extremely reluctant left wing media elite reporters who stalled the story for several days not wanting to embarrass either one of their favorite so called enlightened presidents Sarkozy declared:

• "I cannot stand him. He is a liar."

To which our BFF of Israel-in-Chief Mr. Obama replied:

• "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!"

Not that these remarks come as any breaking news flash as the President has treated Netanyahu like a red headed stepchild since day one. Truly a travesty when you compare the backgrounds of these two world leaders and their contrasting rise to power. Consider the following:

• Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu is the current Prime Minister of Israel.
• Netanyahu joined the Israeli Defense Forces in 1967 where he served as a team leader in the Sayeret Matkal special forces unit, taking part in many missions including Operation Gift and the hostage rescue mission from the hijacked Sabena Flight 571 in 1972, where he was seriously wounded.
• He fought on the front lines in the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and achieved the rank of captain.
• Netanyahu served as the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations from 1984 to 1988
• Prime Minister from June 1996 to July 1999.


During the same time period the future leader of the free world, young Barack Husain Obama, was in hot pursuit of far less noble endeavors:

• Attending Islamic school in Indonesia
• Snorting coke and fully participating in Hawaii’s underground drug culture
• Snorting coke and fully participating in Columbia University’s underground drug culture
• Snorting coke and fully participating in Harvard’s underground drug culture
• Working as a community/labor agitator for the criminal socialist front group ACORN
• Voting present on every important issue while amassing the most extremist left wing record in the history of first the Illinois state house and later the US Senate


Don’t know about y’all but it seems clear to us we got the wrong person leading the free world. The arrogance demonstrated by a man of such dubious achievements and absence of moral fortitude the likes of President Obama criticizing a person of substance, courage and wisdom and the stature of Mr Netanyahu is unforgivable.

President Obama’s advocacy and support of Palestine and by fiat the international Islamic terrorist group Hamas has never been more obvious. A most disturbing and dangerous Obama foreign policy initiative.

Of course this sure as hell ain’t the first “hot mike” incident Mr. Obama has experienced as his political career is chock full of similar revealing moments when his genuine real feelings have been exposed. A few of the most notable include:

• Confirmation of his Socialist core values when he was overheard telling Joe the Plumber the need to redistribute wealth in this country
• A blatant act of his racist viewpoint based on the false accusations he made about the Cambridge Police Department in the Gates affair
• His elitist attitude and disdain for We the People when he remarked about the need for all of us ignorant yahoos to cling to our guns and Bibles during these trying times


Truth be told President Obama owes Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Israeli and American people a sincere apology for his cowardly remarks and lack of support for one of our most critical and strongest allies. Truth also sadly be told the man doesn’t have the class, character, or courage to ever express any regret for his arrogant and despicable conduct.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 145: “We Can’t Wait”

From the time that I could walk he'd take me with him
To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
There was old men with beer guts and dominoes
Lying 'bout their lives while they played
I was just a kid, they all called me "Sidekick"
Just like desperados waitin' for a train
Like desperados waitin' for a train
“Like Desperados Waitin' For a Train,” Jerry Jeff Walker

For the last several months our “Political Hack-in-Chief” has completely abandoned even any pretense of actually governing and has been traveling around the country in full campaign mode on our dime. All things considered not a bad return on investment if it keeps this incompetent, Socialist, left wing, egomaniac too preoccupied with his reelection instead of forcing his Marxist dreams of grandeur down our collective throats.

Demonstrating the traits of a corrupt Chicago political district ward chief as opposed to the leader of the free world whom we’d hope would occasionally show a little class and decorum Mr. Obama transforms into a hyper-partisan; race baiting; class warfare advocate; elitist false populist that would sure enough make the likes of George C. Wallace, Bull Conner and Uncle Joe Stalin his self proud. Bless his tiny bleeding liberal heart reckon you can take the Communist community organizer out of Chicago but you’ll never take the tyrannical Bolshevik ways out of Barack Husain Obama.

Out on the stump promoting his sham of a jobs bill our “Blamer of Everyone but Himself-in-Chief “ has pointed his boney little finger from everybody from W to ATM’S to cover for his massive failures resulting from their attempts to convert the world’s most productive and largest free market economy into a cradle to grave Socialist Nanny State. Most lately the evil GOP Congress has been his political whipping boy guilty of all manner of nefarious deeds including higher murder and rape rates, starving the old and poor folks, and unexplainable massive new incidents of Restless Leg Syndrome.

His newest political tactic, “We Can’t Wait”, is in reality the same Chicken Little the sky is falling or face dire consequences of Koranic, and um Biblically, proportions strategy the Obama fear mongers used to pass the trillion dollar stimulus package, Obamacare, Dodd/Freddy In the Fanny Mac Frank, bank bailouts and the government confiscation of the US auto industry. All of which turning out to be unmitigated disasters resulting in 9 plus percent unemployment, the doubling of gas prices, more new debt than white on rice and frozen credit that is killing economic growth.

During his Saturday web/radio address our hurried CEO used a derivative of his new “We Can’t Wait “call to arms 948 times. Rumor has it the infamous Presidential teleprompter done blowed up due to the truly mind numbing repetition.

According to our signer of unconstitutional and illegal Executive Orders the following world shaking policy initiatives just can’t wait for Congressional approval:

• Complete takeover of the student loan program by Uncle Sammy resulting in no consequences defaults and free money compliments of the American tax payer
• Home financing mortgage relief loan program by Uncle Sammy resulting in no consequences defaults and free money compliments of the American tax payer
• To fix No Child Left Behind, the President directed his administration to move forward with a plan to give states the flexibility they need to help students meet higher standards.
• The Administration acted to cut dramatically the time it takes for small businesses that contract with the federal government to get paid.
• Eliminated outdated regulations that will save hospitals and patients billions of dollars in the years ahead. Specifics on how this would be accomplished as usual are few and far between


Independently and collectively these measures won’t amount to a bucket of warm spit. Nothing more than additional examples of wealth redistribution to the President’s victim class constituencies.

In the spirit of “We Can’t Wait” Thoughts of Obama From Bama would like to add a few items to the list:

1. “We Can’t Wait” to see the door knob hit Mr. Obama in the arse on his way out the door of the White House after losing the election next fall
2. “We Can’t Wait “till VP Biden permanently retires to the nearest Irish pub and stops embarrassing the Country every time he opens that cavernous mouth
3. “We Can’t Wait” for She of the Shaved Butt Ugly Pants Suit Klan, Madame Secretary of State Hillary Rohdam-Clinton, to slip off into political has been status with faithful husband Saturday Night Bill never to duck enemy sniper fire again
4. “We Can’t Wait” to watch senior political hack, terrorist sympathizer, liar, and racist bonehead, AG Eric Holder hauled off to jail with all the other criminals

We also can’t wait to watch college football’s National Championship Saturday night at Bryant/Denny in Tuscaloosa when the Alabama Crimson Tide knock off the number one ranked LSU Tigers.
