Thoughts On Obama From Bama

Week 165: “The Road We Traveled”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“The Road We Traveled”

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

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

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

Week 164: Perception is Reality – My Happy White Skinny Ass

Thank God the tiki bar is open
Thank God the tiki torch still shines
Thank God the tiki bar is open
Come on in and open up your mind

On a leave of absence
With no resemblance to reality
I felt like a rocket launched into the wild blue yonder
By the boys down at Kennedy.

Checked into His Majesty's Court Hotel
Where the sign said 'praise his name'
I was tired and alone I didn't feel too well
But I don't think that he was to blame
The Tiki Bar Is Open, Jimmy Buffett

Remember Hillary’s paranoid delusions of some mythical vast right wing conspiracy that was ruthlessly and unfairly ruining the Clinton presidency. It weren’t as much as a bona fide conspiracy but more of a critical mass of illegal and sordid conduct that was so overwhelming even their adoring dominions in the left wing media elite finally had to report on their abuses of power; felonies; Saturday Night Bill’s repeated sexual assaults and stepping out on Hillary; scandalous financial behavior; and no count white trash propensities.

Even though the elusive vast right wing conspiracy was a nothing more than a deep, dark, psychotic compulsion hidden in the depths of Hillary’s narcotics altered secular progressive malfunctioning brain doesn’t mean there ain’t a vast left wing conspiracy currently working harder than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest fundamentally transforming the America we all know and love into an European style socialist nanny state. This bunch of radical left wing boneheads is already hard at work creating the greatest misperceptions in our country’s historic and storied development and standing right up like they had good sense proclaiming the virtues of a new reality.

Every head case, arrogant, liberal, political hack, talking head, columnist, commentator from the likes of the elitist scribes at the communist rag the New York Times to the ultra-liberal boneheaded corrupt journalist and anchors at MSNBC are advancing the false perception that the current economic metrics including the criminally high unemployment rate and 1.5 percent growth rate aren’t near as bad as it could have been without the enlightened leadership of President Obama. Besides, in today’s hyper competitive global market this new reality is about as much as we can reasonably expect.

They also figure if the say it often and with great enthusiasm all us poor dumb pilgrims will eventually start believing this load of horse manure. With few challenging their new liberal political reality with the exception of FOX News, Rush and other talk radio conservatives we best should all take care not to allow these leftist propaganda merchants to even get a toe-hold in the hearts and minds of the independents who ultimately are gonna be the folks deciding the most important election of our life time.

It’s truly shameful what these radical leftwing propagandists including our Bolshevik-in-Chief are saying in their attempts to brainwash we the people. Following are a few recent examples of their most outrageous remarks to the GOP Presidential candidates and other conservative thought leaders:

• “With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around doesn’t President Obama have a strong argument for reelection?” , Wolf “Grey Beard” Blitzer, CNN
• “With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around doesn’t President Obama have a strong argument for reelection?” , Chris “I Got a Serious Man Crush on Barack” Mathews, MSNBC
• “With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around doesn’t President Obama have a strong argument for reelection?”, Andrea “Older Than Baseball” Mitchell, NBC
• “With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around doesn’t President Obama have a strong argument for reelection?”, George “I Still Have a Man Crush on Bill Clinton” Stephanopoulos, ABC
• “With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around doesn’t President Obama have a strong argument for reelection?”, Scott “Nobody Even Knows Who I Am” Pelley, CBS
• “With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around doesn’t President Obama have a strong argument for reelection?”, Katie “I Got Fired Cause I’m Dumber Than a Bag of Rocks” Kurick, former CBS anchor
• “With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around doesn’t President Obama have a strong argument for reelection?”, Diane “Looks Pretty Damn Good for 70” Sawyer, ABC
• “With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around doesn’t President Obama have a strong argument for reelection?”, Anderson “ I Sure do Miss Barney Freddie in the Fannie Mac Frank” Cooper, CNN
• “With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around doesn’t President Obama have a strong argument for reelection?”, Christiane “Radical Islamic Jihadist” Amanpour, ABC
• "These guys have a fundamentally different economic philosophy. We're about promoting the private sector. They're about protecting the privileged sector. With unemployment coming down and the economy turning around President Obama has a strong argument for reelection.” VP Joe “I’m Dumber Than a Bag of Hammers” Biden
• It’s only fair, and everybody is entitled to their fair share, to be fair with unemployment coming down and the economy turning around my Administration has a strong argument for reelection.”, The Great Redistributor of Wealth-in-Chief

Like we said, say it loud and proud and perception sure enough might turn out to be reality. A classic propaganda tactic right out of the Obama political playbook, the Communist Manifesto.

Week 163: Tacky Yankee Lawyer Strikes Again

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Old men I tank tops Cruising the gift shops Checking out chakeetas down by the shore (hey baby want to ride in my new car)
They dream about weight loss Wish they were their own boss Those three day vacations become such a bore

Wastin away again in Margaretville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame And I know it's my own damn fault Margaretville, Jimmy Buffett

Bless his little Marxist/Socialist heart our 44th president just can’t help succumbing to his tacky Yankee lawyer hankerings. On the GOP’s biggest day of their 2012 primary to date, Super Tuesday, the president who doesn’t take a shine to not being the center of attention called his first press conference of 2012.

When asked, White House Propaganda Officer Jay Carney, said the scheduling issue was purely a coincidence. Coincidence my skinny white happy ass. No way, no how, no sir.

Fact is, our Pathological Narcissist-in-Chief is more scared than a long tailed cat walking through a room full of rocking chairs about becoming irrelevant. Not that any US president is ever really irrelevant. Incompetent; ineffective; not respected; arrogant; clueless; weak; a joke; but never irrelevant.

So, in a desperate attempt to avoid his paranoid delusions of irrelevance Mr. Obama inserted his self smack dab into the middle of Super Tuesday GOP politics coming across as small, petty, and nothing more than a heavy handed political hack. All characteristics that define the essence of our 44th president backwards and forwards.

As usual the president’s remarks and responses were chalk full of more lies, balderdash, and just plain BS than white on rice. The truth and Mr. Obama are just few and far between when it comes to anytime the man is flapping those gums in public.

Our public watch dog group, Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire (LLPOF), rated the president’s remarks for truth and accuracy on their 1- Right as Rain to 10- Lying Like a Cheap Rug scale. Following is a summary of their findings:

• Good afternoon, everybody. Now I understand there are some political contests going on tonight. But I’d thought I’d start the day off by taking a few questions which I’m sure will not be political in nature
• Absolutely can’t stand not being the center of attention. Tacky, tacky, sure enough tacky
• Businesses have created about 3.7 million new jobs over the last two years. Manufacturers are hiring for the first time since the 1990s. The auto-industry is back and hiring more than 200-thousand people over the last few years. Confidence is up and the economy is getting stronger
• LLPOF – 322, eight plus percent unemployment, 5 trillion in new debt, and runaway spending is downright criminal.
• This Congress could hold a vote on the Buffett rule, so that we don’t have billionaires paying a lower tax rate than their secretaries. That’s just common sense. The vast majority of Americans believe it’s common sense, and if we’re serious about paying down our deficit, it’s as good a place to start as any
• LLPOF – 257, Buffett’s secretary makes a half million a year and increasing his tax rate won’t make a frog’s hair worth of difference reducing the deficit.
• REPORTER QUESTION: “On the Middle East Gaddafi said he’s going to send his forces to Benghazi, route opponents from their bedrooms and he was going to shoot them. You frequently cited that speech as a justification for NATO, the no fly zone military action. In Syria al-Assad is killing people. There’s a massacre underway. Your critics here in the USA most notably John McCain said you could start airstrikes now. On Iran on Sunday Romney went so far as to say if you were re-elected Iran will get a bomb and the world will change. How do you respond?”
• Obama: When I came into office Iran was unified, on the move had made substantial progress on its nuclear program and the world was divided on how to deal with it. What we’ve been able to do over the last few is years is mobilize unprecedented crippling sanctions on Iran. Iran is feeling the bite of these sanctions in a substantial way. The world is unified Iran is politically isolated. What we have said is we won’t countenance Iran getting a nuclear weapon. My policy is not containment; my policy is not letting them get a nuclear weapon. That’s my track record. Now what’s said on the campaign trail, those folks don’t have a lot of responsibilities, they’re not commander in chief. When I see the casualness when I see these folks talk about war, I’m reminded of the costs involved in war.
• LLPOF- 177, Obama’s policy of walking softly and carrying a small twig emboldens our enemies and compromises US security. His accusation of the GOP candidates taking war with Iran casually is ludicrous especially when you consider Mr. Obama views our military as nothing more than a photo opp
• Jake Tapper, REPORTER QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President. What kind of assurances did you give Prime Minister Netanyahu about the role that the U.S. would play if the diplomacy and economic sanctions fail to work to convince Iran’s leaders to change their behavior and Israel goes ahead and prepares to strike their nuclear facilities?
• President Obama: “I think there’s no doubt that those who are suggesting or proposing or beating the drums of war should explain clearly to the American people what they think the costs and benefits would be. I’m not one of those people. Because what I’ve said is, is that we have a window through which we can resolve this issue peacefully. We have put forward an international framework that is applying unprecedented pressure. The Iranians just stated that they are willing to return to the negotiating table. And we’ve got the opportunity, even as we maintain that pressure, to see how it plays out.
• LLPOF – 243, Anyone who believes Iran is ever gonna negotiate in good faith is crazier than an outhouse rat
• QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President. Do you think Rush Limbaugh’s apology to the Georgetown Law student was sufficient and heartfelt? Do you agree with the decision of the growing number of sponsors that have decided to drop his show and stop supporting his show? And has there been a double standard on this issue? Liberal commentators have made similarly provocative or distasteful statements and there hasn’t been such an outrage.
• OBAMA: You know I’m not going to comment on what sponsors decide to do. I’m not going to comment on either the economics or the politics of it. I don’t know what’s in Rush Limbaugh’s heart, so I’m not going to comment on the sincerity of his apology. What I can comment on is the fact that all decent folks can agree that the remarks that were made don’t have any place in the public discourse. And the reason I called Ms. Flute is because I thought about Malia and Sasha and one of the things I want them to do as they get older is to engage in issues they care about. Even ones I may not agree with them on. I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens. And I wanted Sandra to know that I thought her parents should be proud of her.
• LLPOF – 197, what a sanctimonious wind bag. Liberals call GOP woman bitches, whores and worse including the likes of Bill Marh who just donated 1 million to the Obama campaign. No presidential apologies forthcoming, a tad hypocritical to say the least
• OBAMA – Thanks y’all. Allah the Great, Allah the Merciful, um, I mean, um, Allah, God bless America

Mr. Obama’s insistence of imposing himself on the GOP’s big day is the epitome of tacky Yankee lawyer behavior. Reckon we should expect nothing less from a man who considers a white tank top T shirt, Bermuda shorts, black dress socks and sandals as appropriate casual attire.

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

Week 162: White House Academy Awards

Don't give me hope
And take it away
Cause I'll show my weakness
Make you to stay
Don't give me something
To build all around
And just for a thrill
You tear it all down

Don't make me hope again
Knowing when you've grown tired of me
That you just disappear and leave me waiting here
Playin' the loser again Playin' the Loser Again, Jimmy Buffett

Week 161 of the train wreck known as the Obama Presidency coincided with Hollywood’s annual gathering of radical left wing head cases to recognize them for alleged outstanding artistic achievement. Decked out in their Sunday best the usual suspects of econazies, anti-war wimps, gay rights extremist, gun control fanatics, ill informed, elitist boneheads showed up on the red carpet of this year’s Academy Awards and as usual sure enough took advantage of every opportunity to advocate and advance their ultra liberal agendas.

Also, as usual, the hypocrisy in the air surrounding this annual self indulgent ego trip was so thick you could cut it with a knife. The carbon footprint from the thousands of gas guzzling stretch limos would make Al Gore sick enough to cancel a midnight massage therapy session and the number of firearms carried by security details, body guards and hip hop rapper thugs would make AG Eric “Fast and Furious Illegal Gun Smuggler“ Holder proud.

As the entire Obama Administration is right similar to a seemingly never ending B rated horror flick Thoughts On Obama From Bama is just tickled pink to conduct the first ever White House Academy Awards. Considering the special effects and kickass acting job this gang has done pretending to be patriots, capitalist, and freedom loving Americans we can’t think of a group of individuals more deserving of this special recognition.

Week 161- One Word Says it All

Please don't say manana if you don't mean it
I have heard those words for so very long
Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being wrong
Manana, Jimmy Buffett

Four GOP presidential candidates gathered in Arizona for their 4ooth debate of this crazy ass republican primary. Sponsored by the liberal boneheads at CNN the evening turned out to be surprisingly informative, interesting and even a tad bit entertaining at times.

One of the most memorable moments was an online question from the audience that actually prompted some fairly revealing responses from the candidates. In one word describe yourself without any caveats or elaboration.
Here's what the boys had to say:

• Ron Paul- Our crazy uncle in the attic claimed he was CONSISTENT. We agree, consistently endearing and crazier than a runt over dog. He certainly advocates sound fiscal policy but with fanatical enthusiasm. His isolationist thoughts about foreign policy would scare a full grown mule.


• Rick Santorum- COURAGE. Considering his family life and passion for promoting traditional values seems fittin. Especially the fact he's raising seven youngins including a special needs daughter that merits all of our admiration.


• Mitt Romney- Said stoically he is RESOLUTE. An impressive and powerful choice of words. If he ever convinces all of us poor dumb pilgrims he truly is a conservative of substance, his cult membership won't adversely effect his governance, this man who represents the epitome of a natural born president predestined to hold the highest office in the land might just win our support.


• Newt Gingrich- The man that was referred to as an angry little muffin by the Wall Street Journal smiling like a possum stated he would describe his happy ass as CHEERFULL. Mr. Happy Britches, who actually is the most experienced, conservative, world shaking big ideas/thinker in the race gave an unexpected and positively memorable response. Can the Newt raise up from the ashes for a third time? We sure enough wouldn't bet against the boy.

Naturally after hearing from the GOP candidates we started thinking about one word descriptions for the current occupant of White House and untold number of applicable options came to mind. We're tickled pink to provide the following list of words describing Mr. Hope and Change his self Barack Husein Obama:

• SOCIALIST


• RADICAL


• SOCIALIST


• EXTREMIST


• SOCIALIST


• LIBERAL


• SOCIALIST


• PROGRESSIVE


• SOCIALIST


• SECULARIST


• SOCIALIST


• WHINER


• SOCIALIST


• HYPOCRITE


• SOCIALIST


• DECEITFUL

• SCOUNDREL


• SOCIALIST


• MISCREANT


• SOCIALIST


• RACIST


• SOCIALIST


• CLASS-WARRIOR


• SOCIALIST


• FANATIC

• FAILURE


• SOCIALIST

One more word that certainly applies is loser. Hopefully we'll make that word an official designation in November.

Thoughts On Obama From Bama

Week 160 - A Profile of Our 44th President

If he`d only known How the years would fly on by Such a simple crime He`s run out of time So he reaches for the sky

By the light of the moon He`s a frenchman for the night By the light of the moon It`ll be all right
Frenchman For the Night, Jimmy Buffett

Just who in the hell is our 44th president. After 160 weeks of untold calamity and unprecedented tyranny it's still a real head scratcher trying to figure who Barack Husein Obama really is.

Based on his performance so far we do know one thing for sure - he ain't Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and/or Ronald Reagan incarnate. Sadly he ain't Jimmy Carter or Andrew Johnson neither who were merely incompetent and not radical egomaniacs hell bent on transformational change including turning our country into a European style socialist nanny state.

One of our country's most brilliant conservative thought leaders, columnist and frequent political TV commentator Charles Krauthammer, MD, formulated one of the most interesting Obama profiles published to date. We're just tickled pink to share his comments in this week's blog. (Thanks to fellow conservative, patriot and sandbagger Mr. Lee Bones Slade for his contribution to this week's column)

First some background information on Dr. Krauthammer:

• Born: March 13, 1950



• Birthplace: New York City, New York



• Raised in Montreal, Canada



• Attended Mc Gill University and Harvard Medical School



• 1972 diving accident left him paralyzed from the neck on down.



• Directed psychiatric research for the Carter administration



• Began writing career in 1981 with The New Republic



• Helped develop the "Reagan Doctrine" in the 80's



• Appointed to Presidential Council on Bioethics in 2002



• Dr. Krauthammer is frequently on the Fox News Channel. He is an M.D., a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children.



• Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.
  



• Summary of his comments:
  
  1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.
  
  2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!
  
  3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.
  
  4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada... God forbid!
  
  5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he DOES, not what he says.
  
  6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President, ever , who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!
  
  7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush, from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.
  
  8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense and State's Rights.
  
  9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The Media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a Pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.
  
  10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.
  
  11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress.
  
  There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country before it's far too late.
  

We do take issue with the good doctor on one point. In our humble opinion not only is Mr. Obama a bona fiide socialist he's well on his way to full blown communist status.

Either way he is beyond the shadow of any doubt the most dangerous individual to ever occupy the Oval office. Any one who thinks otherwise is crazier than an outhouse rat.

Thoughts On Obama From Bama

Weeks 158 and 159- Bully Pulpit

When you're down on your luck,
And you ain't got a buck,
In London, you're a goner.
Even London Bridge's fallen down,
And moved to Arizona. I know why.
I'll substantiate the rumor,
That the English sense of humor,
Is drier than the Texas sand.
You can put up your dukes,
You can bet your boots,
I'll be leavin' here as fast as I can.

I wanna go home with the Armadilla.
Country music from Amarilla and Abilene.
The friendliest people,
And the prettiest women you've ever seen.
London Homesick Blues, Gary P Nunn/Jerry Jeff Walker

Because of ongoing technical difficulties and other priorities we've combined Weeks 158 and 159. With the expanded time period choosing one topic to focus on from all of the abuses of power, lies, gross incompetence and implementation of their Socialist agenda has sure enough been a real barn burner.

One incident did catch our attention as another glaring example of the arrogance and cut throat political tactics employed by the hope and change gang. President Barack Husein Obama, the leader of the free world, on another tax payer funded campaign trip to Arizona verbally assaulted and attempted to physically intimidate a sitting Governor who just so happens to disagree with his politics.

Bless her heart, Governor Jan Brewer, was publicly accosted by the our Political Hack/Thug-in-Chief who openly and without shame took off on the gov. for all the world to see over some comments in Ms. Brewer's book "Scorpions for Breakfast". Mr. Obama's cowardly behavior sure as hell gives a new meaning to the term "Bully Pulpit"

Following is a detailed description of this most unfortunate demonstration of Presidential intimidation and suppression:

• Shortly after stepping off Air Force One in Phoenix Mr. Obama challenged Gov. Brewer over comments she made about him in her recent book. His reaction came one day after he used his State of the Union address to call for a renewed spirit of political bipartisanship


• Brewer, whose “Scorpions for Breakfast” faults Obama for pandering to Hispanic voters said the president mentioned the book, unprompted, after she invited him to meet with her to discuss “Arizona’s comeback.”


• “He was somewhat thin-skinned and a little tense to say the least,” Brewer told Phoenix radio station KFYI. “I went there with good intentions . . . talking about Arizona and how I could give some assistance to him".


• After his unsuccessful attempt to intimidate the Governor into submission the President abruptly left in mid sentence like a spoiled child scolded by an fed up parent

This ain't no isolated incident neither. Right after the BP oil spill our Bully-in-Chief tried the same intimidation tactics with GOP Governor Jindal from Louisiana. After seeing Gov. Brewer's encounter he made the following remarks:

• “It brought back memories... He grabs me by the arm, takes me aside. Here’s the strange thing: I thought he’d be angry about the oil spill, the lack of resources; I thought he’d get down there and say, 'Look governor, we’re going to do everything we can to work together.' Instead, he was upset he was going to look bad; he was worried about some routine letter we had already sent to his administration, nothing important."

Other examples of presidential bullying are more abundant than white on rice and include the following:

• During the only televised meeting with republicans to discuss Obamacare the Bully-in-Chief dressed down Senator McCain stating we won the election so sit down, shut up, and how dare you question me on this or any other subject


• After Congressman Paul Ryan released the GOP's proposed budget President Strong Arm Obama invited Ryan to attend his major economic policy speech the following week under the pretense of bipartisan compromise. Instead Mr. Obama verbally assaulted Ryan accusing him of everything from starving the old folks too clubbing baby seals. A real classy performance


• During last year's State of the Union the president publicly humiliated the Supreme Court Justices in attendance lying about the implications of a recent ruling knowing decorum and propriety would prohibit a response

Why does our fearless leader insist on behaving like a school yard bully? After 4 years of close observation we're tickled pink to offer the following explanations:

• He's a Yankee with a powerful hankering towards tacky behavior


• He's a tacky Yankee lawyer, a sure fire combination for boorish, ungentlemanly conduct


• He's an egomaniac pathological narcissist


• He's a tyrannical Socialist


• He's a pointy headed elitist hell bent on imposing his will the Constitution and American values be damned


• He's not much more than a glorified political hack who surrounds himself with thugs and criminals from his ole stomping grounds the corrupt Chicago political machine


• Like most bullies he's a coward who wouldn't dare intimidate anyone without his 24/7 secret service detail around to protect his happy ass

We need a lot more folks like Governor Brewer standing up to our Bully-in-Chief, pointing a finger in his face, and telling him what for. Scorpions for breakfast all around.
