Thoughts On Obama From Bama
Week 173: “Did You Know”
On a black and white TV, in a dark saloon
I was watching Neil Armstrong walking on the moon
And later on I got high and climbed up on the bar
I told everybody there I could fly above the stars
I was in a Dallas disco the night that John Lennon died
And the DJ played "Imagine" and everybody cried
I remember a thousand lighters held up in our hands
All we were saying them "Let's give peace a chance"
Where was I when you stopped loving me?
When did I become history?
There's not many things that escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?
Jerry Jeff Walker, Where Was I
Employing a propaganda tactic that would make the likes of Castro, Mao, Stalin, Lenin and even Herman Goebbels proud the historical revisionist at 1600 Pennsylvania have not only crossed the line they screamed across it like a runaway train. An unprecedented and despicable abuse of power and pure propaganda that should have the alleged free press calling for heads to roll and resignations more abundant than white on rice.
Seems like the boneheaded yahoo wordsmiths in the West wing decided it would be just brilliant to add a new section to former Presidents Bios on the White House official website titled “Did You Know“ promoting one of their most notable achievements with a current Obama initiative. The veracity of the claim be damned as long as it puts the president in the best light when compared with his esteemed predecessors.
If W or another Republican president pulled a stunt like this the liberal head cases in the mainstream media would gather at the White House, surround the building, clasp hands and spontaneously self-combust while singing Keep Hope Alive. How would we ever get by without the likes of Dan Rather, Chris Mathews and the gals from The View?
Starting with former President Calvin Coolidge following are a few examples of Comrade Obama’s Did You Know propaganda statements:
• On Feb. 22, 1924 Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people. President Coolidge later helped create the Federal Radio Commission, which has now evolved to become the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). President Obama became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls using Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ LinkedIn etc.
• Claimed Ronald Reagan supported raising taxes on the wealthy and would have supported Obama’s Buffett Rule
• Compared his youth and charisma to JFK
• Talked about the similarities between his healthcare act and LBJ’s Great Society
• Made the same comparison with FDR
• Said his stimulus package worked like Ike’s Highway program
• Bragged he enhanced our standing in the world same as Clinton
• Responsibly reduced Defense spending just like Peanut
• Improved relations with China on par with Nixon
• Revered like Honest Abe
• Loved and adored more than Washington
To my total amazement and great surprise while reviewing these pearls of wisdom on the White House website they literally began to disappear before my very eyes. The Obama propagandist obviously got caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar and someone up there with half a brain decided to delete all this exaggerated dribble.
We sure enough are tickled pink somebody finally came to their senses but also strongly believe the boneheaded moron who came up with this brilliant idea ought to be tarred, feathered and runt out of town on a rail. We got a rail, anybody with some extra tar and feathers just let us know of your availability for a little going away party at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Thoughts On Obama From Bama
Week 172: “Presidential To Do List”
Pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes
Say goodbye to the landlord for me
That sum-bitch has always bored me
Throw out them old LA papers
And that moldy box of vanilla wafers
Adios to all this concrete
Gonna get me some dirt road back street
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway
Without getting killed or caught
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
For some land that I ain't bought bought bought
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway
Without getting killed or caught
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
For some land that I ain't bought bought bought
If I can just get off of that L.A. freeway
L. A. Freeway, Jerry Jeff Walker
Bless his little socialist heart our 44th president, Barack Housin Obama, is sure enough just a good ole boy. Always looking out for the rest of us poor dumb pilgrims trying to make sure we all get a fair shot and our fair share.
He even took the time this week to create a To Do List for his friends in Congress. Sure is kind of him to take time from his busy schedule killing notorious terrorist, spending other people’s money and evolving into an advocate of gay marriage to reach out to Congress with such a helpful gesture.
Truly is a shame this empty gesture is nothing more than left wing political posturing and pandering chock full of more class, race, and generational warfare. This country is in a world of hurt and what we are in dire need of is courageous leadership.
More of the same cowardly Obama empty rhetoric and political shenanigans won’t help create one job, enhance economic growth or pay down one penny of the national debt. As usual, any actual real reforms that might really have some redeeming value are few and far between.
Following is Mr. Obama’s sham flim/flam Congressional To Do List:
• Reward American Jobs, Eliminate Tax Incentives To Ship Jobs Over Seas - Nipping at the margins. We need serious tax reform
• Cut Red Tape So Responsible Homeowners Can Refinance – Right, a good start would be to repeal Dodd/Frank, a bill Mr Obama welcomed with a big ole sloppy wet kiss
• Invest in a New Hire Tax Credit for Small Businesses - A onetime credit ain’t gonna get the bulldog fed
• Create Jobs By Investing In Affordable Clean Energy – Everybody say it loud and proud, SOLINDRA.
• Put Returning Veterans to Work Using Skills Developed in the Military – Already taken care of. No federal mandate required
In the spirit of generosity and taking Mr. Obama’s lead we’ve created our own Presidential To Do List and our just tickled pink to share with our Campaigner-in-Chief here. Don’t rightly know if he’ll ever see it but hope springs eternal:
• Write letter of resignation effective immediately
• Openly declare allegiance to Socialist party
• Quit golf, no self-respecting Marxist/Communist would ever take up the game
• Stop spending other people’s money
• Schedule moving vans for January 2013
• Schedule ear reduction surgery
• Accuse Mitt Romney of being Anti-Christ
• Blame W for every calamity of the 21st century
• Plan exile to Havana, Moscow or Caracas
• Hit his knees, or prayer mat, and beg the American people for forgiveness
• Start to blame W for defeat in November
• Write VP Biden thank you note for making him look like a bona fide genius
Another empty gesture from Mr. Obama that’s about as useful as a warm bucket of spit. Let’s hope he takes our advice and has those moving vans lined up in the driveway next January.

Thoughts On Obama From Bama
Week 171: “Our Shameless, Egomaniac, Narcissist-in-Chief”
Up every morning, out every evening
Hustling for headlines, that's what I do
Table at Sardi's, grappling for gossip
Working the press for a mention or two
I never acted like some nervous rookie
Right form the start I was hot as a cookie
I was a numero uno What a debut
Public Relations,
Public Relations
Boozing and schmoozing, that's what I do
PR's my vocation
And I'm a sensation
Public relations Such hullabaloo
Public Relations, Jimmy Buffett
Barack Hoisin Obama’s hypocritical, conceited, shameless, egomaniacal, and narcissistic behavior is truly a sight to behold. In 171 short weeks this self-indulgent, radical left wing, bonehead has diminished the office of the US Presidency to depths we ain’t never seen in these parts before.
In this week’s latest propaganda campaign video former President Bill Clinton describes the so called heroic, historic, and audacious decision our fearless leader made to assassinate the world’s number 1 terrorist, UBL A few of Saturday Night Bill’s comments sure enough reveal the humungous ego and unbridled narcissism of our 44th President.
Consider the following astonishing remarks that rolled off of Slick Willie’s tongue. To paraphrase: •
To add insult to injury they ended this propaganda video with the absolutely unfounded and outlandish claim that put in the same situation Mitt Romney wouldn’t have pulled the trigger. This tactic riled up folks on both sides of the isle including liberal head case Arianna Huffington who referred to the Romney claim and video as despicable.
For a man who stood right on up there as if he had good sense strongly proclaiming there would be no spiking the football or dancing in the end zone over UBL’s assassination the Change We Can Believe crowd really puked on their own shoes on this one. There recent victory lap this week included:
Barack Hoisin Obama sure enough is one genuine piece of work. Ain’t no never mind about it he’s the most hypocritical, conceited, shameless, egomaniacal, and narcissistic bonehead to ever walk the hallowed halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Thoughts On Obama From Bama
Week 170: “Follow the Leader”
Everclear is dumped into the wine sometimes
Then you add nachos and tacos, burritos you know
Here is how it usually goes, it goes
Whoa oh oh Woah oh oh I love Sangria wine
Whoa oh oh Woah oh oh I love Sangria wine
All that's left to do is drink the wine
Just lay back and watch the time go by
Old friends tell the truth when mixed with the wine
That's why I blend in all the lemons and limes
Yeah I love that Sangria wine
When I'm drink'n with old friends of mine
Yeah I love that Sangria wine
When I'm drink'n with old friends of mine
Whoa oh oh Woah oh oh I love Sangria wine
Whoa oh oh Woah oh oh I love Sangria wine
Jerry Jeff Walker, Sangria Wine
Companies, government entities, and almost any organization’s staff and employees reflect the values, work ethic, and business practices of their leadership. Examples of this natural and well documented pattern of behavior abound.
Several examples of such behavior include the following:
• Apple’s Steve Jobbs who by his example established a cool, hip, culture of innovation that spread thru the company faster than kudzu
• Jack Welch, former CEO at GE, was a tough, cost cutting, visionary executive who created the most efficient, productive, highest valued company in the world. His implementation of Six SIGMA and Lean practices created fanatical disciples within GE
• Bill Gates has created a brilliant geek techie culture at Microsoft with great success, profits, and breakthroughs in innovation
• Health South CEO, Richard Scrushy is a greedy, arrogant, thief who surrounded himself with likeminded folks who are all guest of the Feds these days at various prison camps around the country
• New Orleans Saints head coach, Sean Patton, condoned bounties on opposing team players and illegally bugged the visiting team locker rooms. With a few notable exceptions he has a current roster of low life, criminal, thugs who would make great hockey players, drug runners, and/or Democrat members of Congress.
Our Country’s current CEO, or Trend Setter-in-Chief, is sure as hell not immune from the impact of this tried and true rule of leadership. Once the smoke clears from all the empty rhetoric and demagoguery Mr. Obama’s actual deeds, actions and behavior have a profound impact on the Executive branch and even his Socialist comrades in Congress.
Sadly, following our Loser-in-Chief’s pathetic lead of humongous government; massive wealth distribution; criminal levels of spending; hidden agendas; corruption; deferment of responsibility; no accountability; gross incompetence; and arrogance towards we the people seemingly the entire Federal government is acting like a bunch of sophomoric yahoos. Truth be told the GSA and Secret Service are only following Barack and Michele’s lead when it comes to the inappropriate use of tax payer dollars and partying on our dime.
Examples of their arrogant elitist conduct are more abundant than white on rice. Since infesting the White House only 170 weeks ago the first couple have hosted at least 30 big name entertainers for band parties including:
• Justin Beiver – twice
• Stevie Wonder
• Patty LaBelle
• Brad Praisly
• Beyoncé - twice
• BB King
• Sir Paul McCartney
• 20 or so hip hop gangsta rapper thugs
In addition to all this home entertainment the Obama’s love road trips as much as the Grizzwalds. Exotic and highbrow vacation destinations, so far, include the following:
• 3 trips to Martha’s Vineyard
• 3 trips home for holidays in Hawaii – no home or relatives still there, but what the hell, we’re talking paradise here
• Spain
• New York City
• Wally World
Other abuses of power, reckless spending, and just plain ole boneheaded waste of time and money include:
• Friday date nights
• Over100 golf outings, not one with daughters or wife, interesting for a man who claims the GOP has declared a war on woman
• Multiple campaign trips paid for by our hard earned tax dollars
• A secretary of Defense that has piled up almost a million dollars in expenses flying home because he refused to move his family to DC
Our First Couple has created an atmosphere and tone of reckless spending of other people’s money and having a good ole time at our expense. The GSA, Secret Service and most likely a mess of other government agencies are just following the Obama’s lead of irresponsible spending and conduct.
Besides, the Secret Service boys deserve a little diversion and down time. We certainly would never question the actions of anyone who is willing to take a bullet for someone else, especially the likes of the Obamas.

Thoughts On Obama From Bama
Week 169: “Unmitigated Disaster”
I've got a question for you, please grant me an interview
Don't want to read it in a magazine
Don't want to see it on the silver screen
Don't let the craziness tear us apart
I'm down on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart
This comes from deep in my soul, your sweet love has taken control
I'll swim across the ocean if you tell me so
I'll take you to the jump up if you want to go
It's never too late to make a brand new start
I'm down here on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart Knees of My Heart, Jimmy Buffett
Ain’t no never mind about it former Vice President Dick Cheney described the train wreck known as the Obama Administration backwards and forwards in two concise and profound words, “Unmitigated Disaster“. For a man who just received a heart transplant about a month ago he obviously hasn’t lost his combative spirit or ability to accurately evaluate a crisis situation.
He couldn’t have chosen two more applicable words to describe the Obama regime. Both are right as rain and truly capture the abject failure of the most incompetent and leftist Administration in the history of this great nation.
A brief review of the actual definition of these two words highlights the brilliance of Mr. Cheney’s sure enough most astute observation:
• Unmitigated – complete, unalloyed, utter, sheer, pure, total, unadulterated, absolute
• Disaster – tragedy, ruin, catastrophe, calamity, cataclysm, misfortune, debacle, fiasco, farce, mess, shambles
Any combination of these words nails the Change Gang spot on. They also roll off the tongue like a melody and are just downright fun to say.
Go ahead and shout out a few of the following openly and without shame and we can guarantee you’ll be feeling finer than frog hair in no time:
• Complete ruin
• Utter calamity
• Total debacle
• Unadulterated fiasco
• Absolute mess
As much fun as it is following VP Cheney’s lead defining the true nature of these boneheads the actual human carnage inflicted upon us by this president is truly staggering. Any poor dumb pilgrims seriously considering giving our Marxist/Socialist-in-Chief another four years must be crazier than an outhouse rat.
Any serious, independent, unbiased examination of this Administration’s record reveals a trail of heartache of historic proportions. Just consider the following:
• 4 unprecedented years of trillion dollar plus annual deficits
• 5 trillion in new debt in less than four years
• An over 80 percent increase in government spending
• 8 percent plus unemployment for over 150 weeks straight
• Record number of folks on unemployment
• Record number of folks on food stamps
• Record number of folks on some form of government assistance
• Worst housing market since the Great Depression
• Slowest and most anemic recovery since the Great Depression
• Passage of unconstitutional budget breaking socialized medicine law
• Nationalization of US auto industry
• Historically high energy prices
• Worst relationship with Israel and other traditional allies ever
• Weakest foreign policy and standing in the world since Peanut’s Administration
• Most massive redistribution of wealth in the history of the civilized world
The last three and half years have sure enough been an “Unmitigated Disaster” that we sure as hell can’t afford to repeat for another four years. Thanks to VP Cheney for speaking out and best wishes on the new heart.

Thoughts On Obama From Bama
Week 168: “The Buffett Rule”
You gotta play by kinja rules Forget about that civics course you learned in school God watches out for drunks and fools But forget the ten commandments here
Kinja rules, Kinja rules, Kinja rules, Kinja rules Kinja Rules, Jimmy Buffett
Our Fair Share, Fair Shake, Fair Enough, Fair to Midland, No Fair-in-Chief is out on his tax payer funded reelection campaign, standing right on up behind his presidential podium just as if he had good sense, promoting his boneheaded policy known as the Buffett Rule again. An absolutely joke and sham of a tax policy named after seriously misguided left wing head case multi-billionaire investor Warren Buffett.
Obama’s Socialist regime is renewing their call for Congress to raise taxes on millionaires, a cornerstone of the class warfare campaign strategy the Change Gang is unleashing on the American people. A flim flam shell game diversion whining about the false assumption that wealthy investors pay lower taxes rates than middle-class wage earners highlighted by the President’s misleading and technically inaccurate claim that Mr. Buffett’s secretary pays at a higher rate than her infamous Yankee rich boss.
Obama's team has made the Buffett rule a key part of its message, saying it shows clear differences with the GOP who rightly point out the plan would raise taxes on small businesses greatly hindering the engine for sustained job growth and economic recovery. Republicans have also correctly noted that Obama's proposal would only generate $47 billion in additional revenues through 2022, a mere 4.7 billion a year. Hardly enough to cover the president’s annual golf expenses and the GSA’s Vegas conventions.
President Obama is specifically proposing that people earning at least $1 million annually, whether in salary or investments should pay at least 30 percent of their income in tax. Investment income is currently taxed at 15 percent allowing many wealthy investors to pay a smaller percentage of their income in taxes. The top rate for taxpayers with high incomes derived from wages in comparison is 35%.
White House propagandist said in a report released ahead of Obama's speech in Florida this week that the tax proposal would restore fairness to the system, pointing to 22,000 households earning more than $1 million annually that paid less than 15 percent of their income in income taxes in 2009. What they fail to mention:
1. Income from investments has already been taxed at least once at higher rates
2. The Fed could confiscate every last dime of these poor pilgrim’s annual income and it wouldn’t even make a frog’s hair worth of a dent in our wildly out of control deficits and debt
3. Mr. Buffett’s secretary pulls in about a half million a year in wages including what she gets paid from her part time job with the GSA
4. This is a classic Marxist/Socialist political tactic that would make the likes of Chavez, Mao and Castro proud
5. With all due respect Mr. Buffett he is more than welcome to take his happy ass down to DC anytime and drop off a check made out to the US Treasury for as many billions he finds fittin with his good friend Barack anytime he’s feeling froggy
Now, truth be told, we’d be tickled pink if the president got a Buffett Rule passed, but one based on Jimmy and not Warren. A rule based on the positions of the greatest and most astute philosopher, poet and escapism advocate of our time would sure enough enhance each and every one of our Constitutional mandate to pursue happiness with the passion of a son of sailor, a man gone to Paris and/or a simple cheeseburger in paradise.
Our Buffett Rule is simple, easy to stay on message and has multiple options to choose from that won’t require anyone to pay Uncle Sammy one cent more in taxes. Following is a list of options that unlike Warren’s are all abundantly more fair, based on true American values and predicated on free market principles:
• Anything, Anytime, Anywhere
• A Lot To Drink About
• A Pirate Looks At 40
• Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
• Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
• Fruitcakes
• Grapefruit-juicy Fruit
• Growing Older But Not up
Havana Daydreamin'
• He Went To Paris
• If The Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me
• It's Five O'clock Somewhere
• I Don't Know And I Don't Care
• Manana
• Margaritaville
• Off To See The Lizard
• Stars Fell On Alabama
• Tampico Trauma
• The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful
• The Wino and i know
• What If The Hokey-pokey Is All It Really Is About?
• Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw
President Obama’s Warren Buffett Rule won’t create one job, enhance economic growth or pay down a penny of the national debt. Mr. Romney needs to propose a Jimmy Buffett Rule, proclaim its five o’clock somewhere, invite us all to Margaritaville to see the lizard and watch a few stars fall on Alabama.
A bold and aggressive move that would certainly give the Obama campaign a lot to drink about as they contemplate a loss of historic proportions in November.

Thoughts On Obama From Bama
Week 167: “Obama’s All of the Above Energy Strategy”
I pulled into the regular pump I was feelin' quite at ease
rolled down my window and told the man, ;fifty cents worth please
Then out jumped my partner with his trusty pellet gun
He said boy this is a holdup, keep 'a pumpin' and don't run
We got fifteen dollars and a can of stp
A big ol' jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese TV
Feelin' we had pulled the biggest heist of our career
We're wanted men, we'll strike again But first let's have a beer
We were sittin' in the Krystal About as drunk as we could be
In walks the deputy sheriff And he's holdin' our TV
Roughed us then he cuffed us
And he took us off to jail No pictures on a poster, no reward and no bail
And now I wish I was somewhere other than here
Down in some honky tonk, sippin' on a beer
Yes I wish I was somewhere other than here'
cause that great fillin' station holdup Cost me two good years
Yes that great fillin' station holdupIt cost me two good years Great Fillin Station Holdupt, Jimmy Buffett
Any poor dumb pilgrim that believes our Roughneck-in-Chief is genuinely advocating an All of the Above energy strategy is sure enough crazier than an outhouse rat. No sir, no way, no how. The man is a green energy; save the flat speckled bellied flat land lizard; eco-Nazi; radical tree humping extremist who equates fossil fuels with free market capitalism and despises both with Marxist/Socialist fanaticism.
Truth be told American coal and oil industries are pillars of this country’s global economic dominance representing the best of U.S. ingenuity, innovation, perseverance and successful free market capitalism. Even with all the negative aspects of these industries, pollution; greed; environmental adversity; and exploitation, the positive benefits derived are more abundant than white on rice.
For a president of this country to demonize, lie about and criminalize these industries is shameful, anti-business, totally misleading and detrimental to establishing U.S. energy independence and our economic vitality. Consider the following stats about the U.S. oil and gas industry:
• Ownership - 9%, corporate management and institutional. 91% pensions, mutual funds, IRA’S AND 401K’s
• Profit margins – 6.7% compared to 9.2% for overall manufacturing industry
• 2 Trillion in US capital investment since 2000
• Effective tax rate – 41% compared to 26% for overall manufacturing
• 85 Million a day paid in taxes, fees and royalties
• 500 Billion in profits, 400 Billion paid in income taxes last 5 years
• Over 9 Million jobs industry wide
President Obama’s bad mouthing of such a vital US industry is downright un-American. His proposal to end their tax subsidies, the same subsidies all manufacturing companies currently receive, is nothing more than sanctimonious class warfare.
Such a boneheaded move would also adversely impact a lot of good folks 401K’s and actually raise the price to fill up our tanks even more. Which, unbelievably, is precisely what the Obama Administration’s energy policy is designed to do.
In hindsight none of this should come as a surprise or world shaking great new revolation. Prior to his media elite supported myths and lies got him elected to the highest office in the land our future president repeatedly proclaimed openly and without shame his advocacy for raising energy prices to European levels.
According to our Tree Humper-in-Chief this is the only way to cure our global warming addiction to those Satan fossil fuels. Don’t seem to matter to these green energy extremist that their ecofriendly alternatives won’t be ready for primetime for at least another 30-50 years.
Now that we know his real agenda it’s right easy to extrapolate Obama’s true, not for public consumption, All of the Above, radical extremist, stop manmade global warming, energy strategy. Following is a brief listing of this economic train wreck in waiting and fiscal calamity of Koranic proportions:
• Raise the price at the pump to 9-10 dollars a gallon
• Kill U.S Coal industry with implementation of oppressive EPA regulations
• Backdoor Cap and Tax/Trade with oppressive EPA intrusions
• Tax oil, coal and gas industries out of business
• Force mass transit down U.S. traveling public collective throats
• Outlaw gas guzzling nonconforming vehicles
• Subsidize foreign exploration and drilling while drastically cutting domestic production
Mr. Obama has gained a pretty strong toe hold on All of the Above during his first term of office. Given a second he’s more likely than not to keep at least one of his promises to fundamentally transform America as we know it.
Totally energy dependent on foreign sources and a second rate fiscally unstable Marxist/Socialist nanny state. Sure enough would be a truly amazing dismantling of the world’s greatest free market capitalist economy in 8 short years.
