Thoughts of Obama from Bama
Week 79: 2010 Midterm Election
“We are the people there isn't any doubt
We are the people they still can't figure out
We are the people who love to sing
"Twist and Shout"
SHAKE IT UP BABY
We are the people our parents warned us about”
Jimmy Buffett, “We are the People our Parents Warned us About”
“We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. We are the hope of those boys who have little; who've been told that they cannot have what they dream; that they cannot be what they imagine.
Yes they can."
"We are the hope of the father who goes to work before dawn and lies awake with doubts that tell him he cannot give his children the same opportunities that someone gave him.
Yes he can."
"We are the hope of the woman who hears that her city will not be rebuilt; that she cannot reclaim the life that was swept away in a terrible storm.
Yes she can."
"We are the hope of the future; the answer to the cynics who tell us our house must stand divided; that we cannot come together; that we cannot remake this world as it should be.” Senator/Candidate Barack H. Obama
Barack Hussein Obama got himself elected President of these here United States of America by motivating and inspiring millions with his extraordinary public speaking skills emphasizing a message of hope and change that the Country bought hook, line and sinker. Our Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric-In-Chief has sure as hell knocked down expectations a few notches for the Midterm Election this November.
Instead of:
• “We are the hope; Yes we can; Yes they can; Yes he can; Yes she can; Yes I am the anointed one who can walk on water who will affect transformational change; Peace, Love, Bobby Sherman; Allah the Great, Allah the Benevolent”;
The call to arms for the Midterms:
• "We know you're still suffering, but things could have been worse."
• ." Do we really want to go back to W’s policies that drove the economy in the ditch in the first place”
If this is the best the Obama political hacks and Congressional Democrats have to offer they surely are setting themselves up or a serious whippin in the midterm elections. For starters, these slogans are just downright boring, confusing and about as dull as VP Biden’s intellectual capacity. Secondly, the premise of both statements is misleading and factually inaccurate, standard operating procedure for the “Yes We Can Bankrupt Each and Every one of You” crowd.
Let’s take the first slogan - "We know you're still suffering, but things could have been worse."
Worst than:
1. Ten percent unemployment for the next year or so
2. Trillion dollar plus annual deficits for years to come
3. As we write this column the Obama fiscal policies pushing the National Debt over the thirteen trillion mark
4. Nationalized/Socialist takeovers of our Auto, Financial, and Healthcare industries with Energy, Education and the Internet currently in the Presidential cross hairs
5. Rampant corruption
6. The Country being run by a “Secret Shadow” government of Socialist, tax cheat Czars
7. And the worst offense all, justifiably being taken to the wood shed by the French for our out of control spending, unsustainable deficits and Socialist agenda. If this isn’t an impeachable offense it damn sure ought to be
As for their second slogan and strategy - " Do we really want to go back to W’s policies that drove the economy in the ditch in the first place” – we say not only yes but a big “Are you ready Alabama? Hell Yes!" Ain’t no never mind about it we’ll take W’s ditch over Barack’s cavernous sink hole every time.
Despite all the finger pointing and almost daily whining from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue supported by a hyper partisan leftwing pointy headed media elite press corps Obama’s totally irresponsible, Socialist, and counterproductive failed fiscal policies makes the W Administration look like a bunch of financial geniuses. Consider the following:
• W got the 2001 Economic Growth and Recovery Tax Act passed in response to the recession he inherited from Slick Willie. It cut tax rates, increased the child tax credit, increased the standard deduction for married couples, and increased contribution caps for a variety of savings programs. The recession ended in November of 2001.
• After September 11 the economy grew at an anemic rate. The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 goosed up the 2001 tax cut package and cut taxes again on dividends and capital gains.
• With W’s tax cuts the rich paid more in taxes in 2005 than any time in the prior 20 years. According to the Wall Street Journal with W’s tax cuts the richest one percent went from paying 25% of all income taxes in 1990 to 39% in 2005. The richest 5% went from paying 44% of all income taxes in 1990 to paying 60% of all income taxes in 2005.
• After the 2001 initial tax cuts, the annual growth rate went from 0.3% in 2001 to 2.5% in 2002. By 2004, GDP growth was the highest it had been in 20 years.
• Following the 2003 tax cuts, the unemployment rate fell to the lowest level since World War II.
• When W left office 145 million folks were employed, 8.9 million were looking and the unemployment rate was at 5.9%. 79 weeks into the Hope, Change and Believe gang’s reign of fiscal catastrophe we are down to 138.4 million working, 15.4 million poor pilgrims on the street and unemployment averaging 9.9% for the year
• W’s stimulative tax cuts and reasonable regulation policies helped increase total Federal revenues by 1 trillion dollars over eight years with income jumping from 3.7 to almost 4.8 trillion. Our current gang of financially challenged over educated Harvard boneheads have masterfully orchestrated a substantial dip in tax revenues while expenditures have exploded to totally irresponsible and unsustainable levels
Historically the party in power, especially the White House, take a beating like a red headed stepchild in a midterm election. The last Chief Executive to buck this trend was W in 2002.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid’s Socialist agenda; arrogance; incompetence; bend over and grab their ankles thank you sir may I have another foreign policy; has served as a catalyst in organizing a highly motivated, enthusiastic, majority coalition of conservatives, moderates and independents who adamantly oppose Comrade Obama’s Marxist Utopian dreams of grandeur for the good ole USA.
Their “Blame Bush” and “It could be worst” strategy is also a recipe for a political blood bath in November. When all is said and done a honest appraisal of W’s performance supports solid real gains in GDP, Jobs, tax revenue, and international respect, not popularity, respect.
And if W really did drive the economy into the ditch as the President has claimed, based on the economy’s performance during the first 79 weeks of the Obama Administration, it seems fair to say that the President and all of his financial advisors missed the ditch but pulled off a full-blown Thelma and Louise. Barack and Uncle Joe, punch drunk; giggling like school girls; throwing caution to the wind; and taking complete leave of rational thought and any semblance of fiscal sanity floored it and drove our economy right off the proverbial cliff and we continue in free fall today comparable to the President’s approval numbers.
As for their “It could be worse” strategy with all due respect Mr. President, ain’t no never mind about it, it just don’t get any worse than an American President with just cause being lectured; brow beat; taken to task; publically rebuked; and just downright told what for by a French President. To be lectured about fiscal responsibility by the French is truly a defining moment in the history of the American Presidency.
We certainly hope Mr. Obama will save us all from the humiliation and shame of an Impeachment trial in the Senate and look forward to his forthcoming resignation for cowardly and inexcusable pacifist conduct with our equally cowardly and inexcusable pacifist French allies.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama
Week 78: Redneck Riviera
“Old men in tank tops, cruizing the gift shops
Checking out chakeetas down by the shore (hey baby wanna ride in my brand new car?)
They dream about weight loss, wish they were their own boss
Those three day vacations become such a bore
Wasted away again in Margaritaville…”
Jimmy Buffett, “Margaritaville”
A week or so ago or there abouts one of the Redneck Rivera’s most famous native sons, Jimmy Buffett, bellied up to the bar in a big way in support of his old stomping grounds. To promote tourism, inject some green backs in the local economy, and assure the rest of the beach seeking vacationing public the Emerald coast is open for business regardless of the BP oil spill/Obama Economic kill Mr. Buffett put on an intimate little free concert for thirty-five thousand plus of his closest friends.
Setting up stage smack dab in the middle of the Redneck Riviera at the end of the “T” in Gulf Shores right in front of a Gulf Coast shrine, The Pick Pony Pub, three generations of Parrot Heads reveled into the night with the Son of a Son of a Sailor hopeful the media exposure and large gathering of Buffett faithful would enhance the regions efforts to avoid ecological and financial disaster. Based on eye witness accounts and CMT ratings, who did a live primetime broadcast, the evening’s festivities were an unqualified success.
Despite Mr. Buffett’s unapologetic left wing liberalism, too much time residing in Key West and billions of brain cells killed along the way, the virtuoso of escapism music should be commended for his commitment of time, energy and resources to minimize the adverse impact of this unprecedented catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico. A catastrophe where the likes of all the usual bleeding heart champions of the victim class suspects including Brad and Angelina; Rosie O’Donnell; George Clooney; Woody Harrelson; Leonardo Dicaprio; Sarah Jessica Parker; Babs Streisand; Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins; Janeane Gorafalo; and Bill Maher have been so conspicuously absent.
Our first couple and Vacationers-in-Chief Barack and Michelle Obama have made several PR trips to the Gulf but when all is said and done they also don’t really seem to give a happy by damn if the Gulf recovers or not. In fact, true to form and in adherence to their operational maxim they seem to be positioning themselves to take full political advantage of this ongoing ecological and financial crisis.
During their most recent photo opp at the Gulf the Obama’s said the following:
• Michelle – “People should not be afraid to vacation in the Gulf region. There are still many beaches free of contamination from oil.” Our First Lady of Fashion also made a bold statement adorning a white summer dress, the exact same shade of white as the sand on the Gulf coast beaches, generously covered with black splotches identical to the tar balls washing ashore. Classy.
Reckon we shouldn’t expect much more from a Yankee. Bless her heart, they just can’t help their tacky nature. These are the same folks after all that proudly wear tank tops; butt ugly Bermuda shorts; dress knee socks; sandals and consider this look stylish beach ware.
• Barack – “The Gulf is open for business. The beaches and water are clear and seafood is plentiful.” Off the record the President was also overheard saying “It don’t make no never mind to me if any no count white trash yahoos come down here to vacation or not. I’ve haven’t seen so many ignorant rednecks gathered all in one place since attending Senator Grand Dragon Byrd’s funeral a couple of weeks ago.”
At their hypocritical best even while encouraging the public to come on down and vacation at the Gulf the first family’s bags were packed and Air force One was all gassed up for a long weekend getaway at one of the most exclusive holiday destinations in North America, Mt. Desert Island, Maine. It’s also been reported the first family will be heading back to another playground of the rich and famous, Martha’s Vineyard, for a longer summer holiday sometime in August.
A First Family vacation at the Gulf shinning an international media spotlight on the region that would hopefully encourage tourism and minimize the adverse economic impact brought on by the oil spill is a serious political issue for the White House. That being said, the Obamas have plenty of reasons for passing on a Gulf vacation.
Following are few examples:
1. Barack and Michelle Obama, Ivey League Harvard Law grads, liberal socialist progressives, pointy headed no clue academic elitist would rather take a good beating than be seen vacationing at the Redneck Riviera. Besides, the place is crawling with confederate flag waving; domestic beer drinking; no count; white trash; Parrot Heads that cling to their guns, Bibles and Hank Williams, Jr. CD’s during these times of economic hardship.
2. All five Gulf Coast states have Republican Governors with the exception of Charlie Crist of Florida who doesn’t seem to know which way his door is swinging these days. Besides, the place is crawling with confederate flag waving; domestic beer drinking; no count; white trash; Parrot Heads that cling to their guns, Bibles and Hank Williams, Jr. CD’s during these times of economic hardship.
3. Both Karl Rove and Sean Hannity own beach front property on the Gulf. Vacationing in the same proximity with these two conservative thought leaders ain’t exactly the Obama’s idea of a fun day at the beach. Besides, the place is crawling with confederate flag waving; domestic beer drinking; no count; white trash; Parrot Heads that cling to their guns, Bibles and Hank Williams, Jr. CD’s during these times of economic hardship
4. With the exception of Florida the Gulf Coast states are a deeper shade of red than any other states in the Country. The last time the good folk from Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas voted for a Democrat presidential candidate was right after Watergate back in the 1970’s and future prospects ain’t exactly looking too promising neither. Besides, the place is crawling with confederate flag waving; domestic beer drinking; no count; white trash; Parrot Heads that cling to their guns, Bibles and Hank Williams, Jr. CD’s during these times of economic hardship.
Several weeks ago our Orator of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief made the wild claim that the Gulf oil spill was the first issue occupying his mind in the morning and his last thought before drifting off into a utopian / Marxist / Socialist dream world at night. Putting aside the fact the President made the same claim about our dismal unemployment status and the “Overseas Contingency Operation” in Afghanistan slap ole granny nekked and Katie bar the door the great forked tongue one might actually be telling the truth for a change.
Unfortunately, even though the disaster in the Gulf has the leader of the free worlds full and undivided attention doesn’t exactly mean we are walking in high cotton down here. Especially when his first thoughts upon awakening and last before his pointy head hits the pillow include:
1. The hell with all those yahoo crackers who refuse to worship at the Altar of Obama.
2. Ignorant rednecks just don’t know what’s in their own best interest and I’m just gonna have tell um what for.
3. Don’t want to vote for me or support my Socialist agenda – fine – don’t come running to me begging for help with your little oil spill.
4. If I stall and continue to screw up all cleanup efforts including not allowing enough oil skimmers or accepting help from other countries we can put hundreds of thousands of you poor white trash bumpkins out of business and totally dependent on me/Uncle Sammy for years to come.
5. If we get a little lucky with the weather this could truly develop into an ecological/environmental disaster of Koranical, I mean Biblical, proportions. A devastated Gulf coast is a small price to pay, and appropriate payback for all the GOP yahoos living down there, to permanently extend our illegal moratorium on deep water drilling and advance my radical green agenda.
With plunging poll numbers and midterm elections looking more and more like a Democratic train wreck the First Couple will most likely hold their elitist noses and grace us with their presence for a short Gulf Coast vacation sometime next month. This Presidential visit will pale in comparison to the Buffett concert for raising awareness, promoting tourism and sending a we are open for business message.
After all, who really cares about one more tacky Yankee wearing a goofy hat; big ole floppy ears; tank top; butt ugly Bermuda shorts; knee high dress socks; and sandals vacationing at the Gulf.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 77: PulpFiction
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”
Jules Winnfield (Samuel Jackson),The Book of Ezekiel from the Bible, Pulp Fiction
With all manner of insanity taking place during Week 77 of the” Yes We Can Continue to Amaze And Horrify We The People With Our Boneheaded Ideas/Socialist Domestic Agenda/Pacifist Bend Over and Grab Our Ankles Foreign Policies” gang’s infestation of the White House their amateurish incompetence, arrogance, and blatant corruption stands out like a member of the New Black Panther Party attending a Friday night KKK cross burning hoe down with the recently deceased Grand Dragon from West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd.
This week’s Column has multiple and overlapping plot lines chock full of rampant racism, abuse, criminal behavior, and total chaos so indicative of the Obama Administration and reminiscent of the 1994 movie the cult classic Pulp Fiction. Using the same format as the movie following are three related “plot” summaries describing some truly unbelievable and oh so misguided actions by our Islamic Out Reacher/Black Panther Sympathizer / Socialized Medicine Advocate-in-Chief:
1. Lions, and Tigers, and Black Panthers, Oh My!
2. Where No Man Has Gone Before…
3. Sir Dr. “Ration, Death Panels, Universal Care, I’m in Love With UK Socialized Medicine/Interim Appointment” Berwick
Episode 1: Lions, and Tigers, and Black Panthers, Oh My!
• Terrorist sympathizer, pardoner of the biggest tax cheat in US history, most senior of senior Obama political hacks, the country’s lead prosecutor, our racist Attorney General Eric Holder snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory recently by dismissing voter intimidation charges against three members of The New Black Panther Party.
• Back on Election Day in November 2008 three Black Panthers openly carrying billy clubs at a Philadelphia polling station were arrested on charges of coercion, threats and voter intimidation.
• Minister King Samir Shabazz, the lead Panther on the scene, was caught on amateur video all decked out in his paramilitary best threatening white voters with physical harm and racist verbal diatribes.
• His remarks caught on tape included – “No crackers voting here today”; “Get used to being ruled by a black man cracker”; and “No crackers allowed”
• Not caught on tape but overheard by dozens of eye witnesses King Shabazz (Who named this clown, Michael Jackson?) also referred to white folk as rednecks, white trash; no count white trash; no count poor white trash; no count dirt poor white trash; trailer trash; hillbilly; hick; hayseed; plowboy; Bubba; and our personal favorite - smart ass white boy.
• The Obama Administration won a default judgment in federal court in April 2009 when the Black Panthers didn't appear in court to fight the charges. But the Administration for no apparent legal reason moved to dismiss the charges in May 2009.
• A career DOJ lawyer, J. Christian Adams, who quit the Justice Department last month over the handling of the case against the Black Panthers, accused his former DOJ superiors of instructing attorneys in the Civil Rights Division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims. Adams' allegations have led the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to call for a separate federal probe.
• White House Counsel, Cassandra Butts, seems to have been actively and directly involved with this case suggesting a direct link to our Racist-in-Chief.
• True to form the pinheaded elite media has almost completely ignored this story and the White House has denied any involvement or knowledge of this abject abuse of power.
• So much for a post racial Presidency.
Episode 2: ...Where No Man Has Gone Before…
• “Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It’s five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before”. TV Series, Star Trek. Now that’s a Mission Statement worthy of NASA.
• “To improve life here, To extend life to there, To find life beyond”. Actual Pre- Obama NASA Mission Statement. Certainly an inspirational, appropriate declaration of this organization’s lofty and ambitious objectives.
• Our Reluctant Astronaut-in-Chief’s has a new mission for NASA in addition to his canceling of all manned space missions for the foreseeable future. According to NASA head Charles Bolden who said in a recent interview with the Middle Eastern news network al-Jazeera "When I became the NASA administrator, he charged me with three things. "One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; two, he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering."
• Truly a sad day in the storied history of NASA. We’ve gone from the glory days of Mercury, Apollo and whippen the Ruskies like a red headed step child to Muslim outreach.
• Thoughts of Obama From Bama has it on good authority the Administration has also charged other Federal Agencies with similar revised missions. Examples include:
o FDA – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about food and drugs.
o EPA – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about protecting their environments.
o SEC – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about exchanging securities.
o NIH – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their health.
o USDA – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about agriculture.
o CIA – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about our spy satellites taking photos of them 24/7.
o DOJ - Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about justice.
• In a related story the “Change You Can Believe In Like Revising Federal Agencies Missions To Absolutely Absurd Proclamations of Appeasement Towards Muslim Nations” issued a directive this week stating the term “Radical Islam” shall not be used when referring to the lunatic; wild eyed; camel loving; cowardly terrorist hell bent on destroying western civilization and life as we know it. If only he had said something earlier we could of put an end to the war on terror years ago.
Episode 3: Sir Dr. “Ration, Death Panels, Universal Care, I’m in Love With UK Socialized Medicine/Interim Appointment” Berwick
• Trampling all over the Constitution ,again, the President made an interim appointment, for all of us ignorant yahoos an appointment between sessions of Congress done mostly to avoid Senate approval, making a radical out of the closet Socialist, Dr. Donald Berwick, the head honcho over Medicare and Medicaid. Dr. Berwick will also be responsible for the implementation of our Healer-in-Chief’s signature policy initiative, Obamacare Socialized Medicine.
• Interim appointments are certainly not unique to the Obama Administration, but, one of this importance and far reaching consequences is unprecedented. The “Change Gang” was absolutely terrified to let this left wing Marxist head case testify publicly at a Senate hearing so the most transparent Administration in the history of the Union made a stealth appointment that even raised objections from several prominent Senate Democrats.
• Comrade Berwick’s ideas about Healthcare are about as crazy as an outhouse rat. Consider the following:
o Berwick’s plan for funding Socialized Medicine - . “Any healthcare funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition redistributional,”
o He is a strong advocate of rationing healthcare “with our eyes open.” Too old, too sick, too complicated, too expensive – too bad. Dr. Berwick’s Death Panels have a pine box with your name on it.
o Most definitely one can short of a six-pack the good Doctor has stated he is - “in love with Britain’s National Health Service.” “… a seductress about which he is romantic.” Ain’t no never mind about it this boy is in dire need of getting a life beyond the hallowed halls of academia and Harvard.
o Spewing classic Marxist/Socialist doctrine Dr. Berwick has also described a “utopian” future in which the government is in complete control of a single payer healthcare system. The ultimate goal of an overwhelming majority of Congressional Democrats and the first genuine Marxist to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Pulp Fiction thrilled viewers with three seemingly totally unrelated story lines with a tad bit of incidental overlapping. Truth be told the movie had several core themes that were depicted in all three episodes.
• Redemption – Bruce Willis’ character Butch wins the fight; gets the girl; recovers the watch; saves Marsellus; rides off into the sunset on dead Zeb’s chopper
• Excess – Extreme measures employed to pass along a watch from fathers to sons; drug overdose; Dead Zeb and company
• Effective/Successful Planning – Butch gets the money and his freedom; Harvey Keitel, the Wolf, displays the epitome of good planning, crisis management, and efficiency taking care of the ”Bonnie Situation”.
Our three tales of woe above about Week 77 of the Obama Administration are also seemingly totally unrelated but in reality have several common core themes. Arrogance; deceit; gross incompetence; corruption; racism; abuse of power; naivety; Marxist/Socialist doctrine; and just downright boneheaded absurdity.
Sounds like some great material for a movie and the President can even play himself. Actually he’s a shoe in to win the Oscar. After all (to paraphrase Newt Gingrich) he won the Presidency and a Nobel Prize without any accomplishments to his name and can surely win an Oscar with the same credentials.

Week 77: PulpFiction
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”
Jules Winnfield (Samuel Jackson),The Book of Ezekiel from the Bible, Pulp Fiction
With all manner of insanity taking place during Week 77 of the” Yes We Can Continue to Amaze And Horrify We The People With Our Boneheaded Ideas/Socialist Domestic Agenda/Pacifist Bend Over and Grab Our Ankles Foreign Policies” gang’s infestation of the White House their amateurish incompetence, arrogance, and blatant corruption stands out like a member of the New Black Panther Party attending a Friday night KKK cross burning hoe down with the recently deceased Grand Dragon from West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd.
This week’s Column has multiple and overlapping plot lines chock full of rampant racism, abuse, criminal behavior, and total chaos so indicative of the Obama Administration and reminiscent of the 1994 movie the cult classic Pulp Fiction. Using the same format as the movie following are three related “plot” summaries describing some truly unbelievable and oh so misguided actions by our Islamic Out Reacher/Black Panther Sympathizer / Socialized Medicine Advocate-in-Chief:
1. Lions, and Tigers, and Black Panthers, Oh My!
2. Where No Man Has Gone Before…
3. Sir Dr. “Ration, Death Panels, Universal Care, I’m in Love With UK Socialized Medicine/Interim Appointment” Berwick
Episode 1: Lions, and Tigers, and Black Panthers, Oh My!
• Terrorist sympathizer, pardoner of the biggest tax cheat in US history, most senior of senior Obama political hacks, the country’s lead prosecutor, our racist Attorney General Eric Holder snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory recently by dismissing voter intimidation charges against three members of The New Black Panther Party.
• Back on Election Day in November 2008 three Black Panthers openly carrying billy clubs at a Philadelphia polling station were arrested on charges of coercion, threats and voter intimidation.
• Minister King Samir Shabazz, the lead Panther on the scene, was caught on amateur video all decked out in his paramilitary best threatening white voters with physical harm and racist verbal diatribes.
• His remarks caught on tape included – “No crackers voting here today”; “Get used to being ruled by a black man cracker”; and “No crackers allowed”
• Not caught on tape but overheard by dozens of eye witnesses King Shabazz (Who named this clown, Michael Jackson?) also referred to white folk as rednecks, white trash; no count white trash; no count poor white trash; no count dirt poor white trash; trailer trash; hillbilly; hick; hayseed; plowboy; Bubba; and our personal favorite - smart ass white boy.
• The Obama Administration won a default judgment in federal court in April 2009 when the Black Panthers didn't appear in court to fight the charges. But the Administration for no apparent legal reason moved to dismiss the charges in May 2009.
• A career DOJ lawyer, J. Christian Adams, who quit the Justice Department last month over the handling of the case against the Black Panthers, accused his former DOJ superiors of instructing attorneys in the Civil Rights Division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims. Adams' allegations have led the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to call for a separate federal probe.
• White House Counsel, Cassandra Butts, seems to have been actively and directly involved with this case suggesting a direct link to our Racist-in-Chief.
• True to form the pinheaded elite media has almost completely ignored this story and the White House has denied any involvement or knowledge of this abject abuse of power.
• So much for a post racial Presidency.
Episode 2: ...Where No Man Has Gone Before…
• “Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It’s five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before”. TV Series, Star Trek. Now that’s a Mission Statement worthy of NASA.
• “To improve life here, To extend life to there, To find life beyond”. Actual Pre- Obama NASA Mission Statement. Certainly an inspirational, appropriate declaration of this organization’s lofty and ambitious objectives.
• Our Reluctant Astronaut-in-Chief’s has a new mission for NASA in addition to his canceling of all manned space missions for the foreseeable future. According to NASA head Charles Bolden who said in a recent interview with the Middle Eastern news network al-Jazeera "When I became the NASA administrator, he charged me with three things. "One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; two, he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering."
• Truly a sad day in the storied history of NASA. We’ve gone from the glory days of Mercury, Apollo and whippen the Ruskies like a red headed step child to Muslim outreach.
• Thoughts of Obama From Bama has it on good authority the Administration has also charged other Federal Agencies with similar revised missions. Examples include:
o FDA – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about food and drugs.
o EPA – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about protecting their environments.
o SEC – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about exchanging securities.
o NIH – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their health.
o USDA – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about agriculture.
o CIA – Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about our spy satellites taking photos of them 24/7.
o DOJ - Find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about justice.
• In a related story the “Change You Can Believe In Like Revising Federal Agencies Missions To Absolutely Absurd Proclamations of Appeasement Towards Muslim Nations” issued a directive this week stating the term “Radical Islam” shall not be used when referring to the lunatic; wild eyed; camel loving; cowardly terrorist hell bent on destroying western civilization and life as we know it. If only he had said something earlier we could of put an end to the war on terror years ago.
Episode 3: Sir Dr. “Ration, Death Panels, Universal Care, I’m in Love With UK Socialized Medicine/Interim Appointment” Berwick
• Trampling all over the Constitution ,again, the President made an interim appointment, for all of us ignorant yahoos an appointment between sessions of Congress done mostly to avoid Senate approval, making a radical out of the closet Socialist, Dr. Donald Berwick, the head honcho over Medicare and Medicaid. Dr. Berwick will also be responsible for the implementation of our Healer-in-Chief’s signature policy initiative, Obamacare Socialized Medicine.
• Interim appointments are certainly not unique to the Obama Administration, but, one of this importance and far reaching consequences is unprecedented. The “Change Gang” was absolutely terrified to let this left wing Marxist head case testify publicly at a Senate hearing so the most transparent Administration in the history of the Union made a stealth appointment that even raised objections from several prominent Senate Democrats.
• Comrade Berwick’s ideas about Healthcare are about as crazy as an outhouse rat. Consider the following:
o Berwick’s plan for funding Socialized Medicine - . “Any healthcare funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition redistributional,”
o He is a strong advocate of rationing healthcare “with our eyes open.” Too old, too sick, too complicated, too expensive – too bad. Dr. Berwick’s Death Panels have a pine box with your name on it.
o Most definitely one can short of a six-pack the good Doctor has stated he is - “in love with Britain’s National Health Service.” “… a seductress about which he is romantic.” Ain’t no never mind about it this boy is in dire need of getting a life beyond the hallowed halls of academia and Harvard.
o Spewing classic Marxist/Socialist doctrine Dr. Berwick has also described a “utopian” future in which the government is in complete control of a single payer healthcare system. The ultimate goal of an overwhelming majority of Congressional Democrats and the first genuine Marxist to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Pulp Fiction thrilled viewers with three seemingly totally unrelated story lines with a tad bit of incidental overlapping. Truth be told the movie had several core themes that were depicted in all three episodes.
• Redemption – Bruce Willis’ character Butch wins the fight; gets the girl; recovers the watch; saves Marsellus; rides off into the sunset on dead Zeb’s chopper
• Excess – Extreme measures employed to pass along a watch from fathers to sons; drug overdose; Dead Zeb and company
• Effective/Successful Planning – Butch gets the money and his freedom; Harvey Keitel, the Wolf, displays the epitome of good planning, crisis management, and efficiency taking care of the ”Bonnie Situation”.
Our three tales of woe above about Week 77 of the Obama Administration are also seemingly totally unrelated but in reality have several common core themes. Arrogance; deceit; gross incompetence; corruption; racism; abuse of power; naivety; Marxist/Socialist doctrine; and just downright boneheaded absurdity.
Sounds like some great material for a movie and the President can even play himself. Actually he’s a shoe in to win the Oscar. After all (to paraphrase Newt Gingrich) he won the Presidency and a Nobel Prize without any accomplishments to his name and can surely win an Oscar with the same credentials.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama
Week 76: Elections Really Do Have Consequences
Into the courtroom my trial began
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw the little judge commence to look about
In about five minutes in walked the man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree I hollered
Lordy Lordy have a mercy on me
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad winch down
Come on you've gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
“Cocaine Blues” Johnny Cash
Under the leadership of the most devout and committed Socialist to ever occupy the Oval Office far surpassing the Marxist/Socialist New Dealer hiself, FDR; TR, Teddy Roosevelt, Mr. Trust Busting, Oppressive Government, Anti-Corporate Windbag extraordinaire; Citizen of The World and Founder of The League of Nations and UN Woodrow Wilson; All The Way With LBJ and His Great New Society; Jimmy Peanut, Malaise, Federalize Public Education, Carter; and Bill and Hillary It Takes A Village Clinton in the words of another “Outlaw Country” icon Merle Haggard our great nation truly is “Rolling Down Hill Like a Snowball Headed for Hell”.
During Week 76 of the international joke and domestic train wreck otherwise known as the Obama Administration all manner of calamity has confronted our young, woefully unprepared, and wet behind those humongous ears Doesn’t Have a Clue-in-Chief.
An oil spill and environmental disaster of unprecedented proportions in the Gulf; the economy teetering on the brink; record high unemployment; out of control illegal immigration including a ludicrous lawsuit against the state of Arizona; diminished standing in the world; and job approval poll numbers sinking like a led balloon have all shined a spot light on the abject incompetence of this gang of yahoos and political hacks currently running the White House.
Meanwhile, as all of this unadulterated mayhem sucks up all the oxygen in the room and attention of the mainstream media elite pinheaded press corps, a little and somewhat under the radar hearing has been taking place in the Senate to consider President Obama’s most recent radical leftwing nomination for a seat on the US Supreme Court. In the grand scheme of things possibly one of the most negative consequences of the 2008 election of Barack Husain Obama.
Elena Kagan, another radical liberal head case Yankee lawyer, has been nominated by our alleged Constitutional Scholar-in-Chief to fill the seat of retiring progressive bleeding heart leftwing bonehead Justice John Paul Stephens. Hopefully the appointment of Ms. Kagan will result in nothing more than replacing one Constitution ignoring judicial activist with another.
Problem is we just don’t know exactly how far left Ms. Kagan’s judicial philosophy has wandered. What little we do know from her bio, liberal biased press reports and the Senate Hearing leaves us about as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Following is a brief summary of our impression of the person who seems almost assured of becoming the fourth woman to serve on our Nation’s highest court:
• Ms. Kagan seems to be a bright, articulate, and well informed individual who also has a great sense of humor. If it wasn’t for her extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint she might make one hell of a good justice.
• The daughter of a Yankee lawyer and school teacher she was born and raised in New York City’s bastion of liberalism the upper West Side. Chances are she never crossed paths with a moderate let alone an individual of conservative leanings until going off to college. Bless her heart, she really never had a fighting chance to grow up with anything but an extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• She attended Princeton under grad and Harvard Law. Prime breeding ground for elitist Yankee lawyers. Institutes of higher education that definitely inspire an extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• While attending Princeton and Harvard she did several summer political internships in Marxist/Socialist strongholds including Moscow, Beijing, Paris, and Havana. All experiences that helped build the foundation for her extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• She wrote a Senior thesis at Princeton about the history of Socialism in New York City. This Administration’s public and unabashed embrace of Socialist and Socialism is truly disturbing. Another strong indication of her developing extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• After graduating from Harvard Law clerked for liberal leftist icon Supreme Court JusticeThurgood Marshall. One of her political and judicial heroes Marshall served as a mentor encouraging her extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• Demonstrating extremely poor judgment, not exactly a characteristic we look for in a Supreme Court Justice nominee, Ms. Kagan worked for the Michael Dukakis Presidential campaign. A candidate that was subjected to one of the most severe ass whoopins in the history of US Presidential elections. Undeterred by the embarrassing defeat she considered the whole experience as an opportunity to fine tune her extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• Following the Dukakis debacle, Ms Kagan spent a few short years actually practicing law in the private sector before returning to academia teaching law at the University of Chicago. Another liberal stronghold where she was free to advance her extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• After achieving tenure in Chicago our future Jurist again displayed really poor judgment by joining the “It Takes a Village of Knee Pad Adorning Interns” Clinton Administration. The ideal environment for her to actually put into practice her extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• Her next gig was an eight year stint at Harvard Law, three serving on the faculty and five as Dean. Finally in a leadership position she was free to aggressively advocate and implement her extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• Ms Kagan is currently serving as the President’s Solicitor General representing the US Government at the Supreme Court. As our Country’s lead advocate she’s been forced to hush up for once in her life and restrain from expressing her extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
Her position on issues and cases she likely will be adjudicating if seated on the Court are as disturbing and disconcerting as her lack of experience and qualifications to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. Several of her radical boneheaded ideas are highlighted below:
• In 2006 Ms Kagan declared that Israeli Judge Aahron Barak, (along with Fidel Castro, Karl Marx, Mau, Joseph Stalin and Hugo Chavez) was her “judicial hero.” “He is the judge who has best advanced democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and justice,” Yet Barak’s record is one of hyper judicial activism that most Americans would find unacceptable. Examples of his far flung over reaching include making judgments about the deployment of troops in wartime; countermanding military orders; deciding whether to release terrorists within the framework of a political package deal; and directing the government as to where it can put up a security fence to keep suicide bombers from entering Israel from the West Bank. This man is a judicial activists’ wet dream.
• During her confirmation hearing Ms. Kagan stated openly and without shame “My politics would be, have to be, separate from my judging.” This disingenuous proclamation has about as much credibility as an Obama campaign promise or Clinton Grand Jury testimony.
• Ain’t no never mind about it she’s a big thumbs up for Obamacare Socialized Medicine, same sex marriage, abortion on demand and every other ultra left wing ACLU sponsored piece of litigation. Thumbs down for religious freedom, gun ownership, and the military’s right to recruit on campus the Constitution be damned with all decisions based on her extreme leftist, Socialist, bleeding heart, boneheaded, elitist, ultra-liberal judicial and political viewpoint.
• Finally, rumor has it Ms Kagan will be the first lesbian to serve on the Supreme Court not that this revelation should in any way adversely affect her nomination. Neither she or the White House will confirm or deny but considering her hair cut; wardrobe; mannerisms; prowess on the softball diamond; and the fact that she vacations several times a year in San Francisco and Key West with Rosie and Ellen if she ain’t a lesbian she’s missing a great opportunity.
One of the most tragic consequences of the last Presidential Election is the Constitutional authority granted to Barack Husain Obama to appoint Supreme Court Justices whose decisions will adversely impact our freedom, liberties and pursuit of happiness for decades to come.
Hopefully a consequence of Mr. Obama’s appointments will be a good old fashion whippen in the 2012 election that will make Dukakis’ record breaking defeat back in 1988 look like a real barn burner.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama
Week 75: An Old Fashion Intervention
“Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.”
P. J. O'Rourke
Always figured if the day ever came when a French President advised our Commander-in-Chief to get control of government spending, deficits and new Socialist programs it would be the same day Hell freezes over, pigs fly and monkeys fly out of Al “Sex Poodle” Gore’s Nobel Prize winning Global Warming butt. That’s exactly what happened at the G8 Summit during Week 75 of the deficit exploding, record debt accumulating, criminally irresponsible spending Obama Administration.
In fact, all seven of the other members of the G8 rejected our Marxist/Socialist-in-Chief’s proposal for a worldwide stimulus and the continuation of massive deficit spending. Ain’t no never mind about it when the Socialist Nanny States of Europe are justifiably lecturing us about our dangerous big Government Marxist fiscal policies it’s time for a serious evaluation of our current leadership and their reckless dismantling of our free market capitalist economy.
According to highly placed sources attending the Summit European leaders were so concerned about President “Yes We Can Bring Down the Entire World Economy” Obama they actually conducted an Intervention on the lad. With the full knowledge and cooperation of the Secret Service Presidents and Prime Ministers Harper of Canada; Sarkozy of France; Merkel of Germany; Berlusconi of Italy; Kan of Japan; Medvedev of Russia; and Cameron of Canada physically abducted Mr Obama and attempted to cure our fearless leader of his addiction to spending other people’s money (Socialism).
Employing classic Intervention tactics and methodology the group tried to find family and friends to participate but couldn’t put their hands on any that weren’t also addicted to others people’s money and/or are devout Marxist/Socialist/Communist themselves. Failing to recruit any reinforcements they proceeded with the tried and true12 Step road to recovery that has saved untold millions of addicts from their self destructive behavior.
Following is a brief review of their session:
• Step 1 – Admit he’s powerless over his addiction - that his life has become unmanageable: Barack Huissan Obama will never, under any circumstances, admit that he is powerless over anything including his addiction to spending/wasting other people’s money. Even after hours of often heated, intensive discussions with his foreign counterparts the President remained in total denial.
As for his life being unmanageable, reckon that just might be the understatement of the century. This is a man totally lacking the skills and/or aptitude to manage his own affairs, a Taco Bell and certainly not the world’s only remaining super power.
• Step 2 - Coming to believe that a Power greater than himself could restore his sobriety/sanity: The Anointed One; Mr. Ultimate Alpha Dog; Head Honcho; Mr. Transformational; Allah’s Gift To the Great Unwashed Masses is physically, emotionally, and intellectually incapable of ever acknowledging any power greater than himself.
No words of wisdom, persuasion or reason from his fellow Heads of State convinced Barack “The Great All Knowing One” Obama to even consider the possibility of a greater power.
• Step 3 - Make a decision to turn his will and life over to the care of God or greater power: Our fearless leader of the free world argued fiercely with his interveners that his judgment, vision and wisdom are far too valuable for him to subordinate his free will and life to God or a higher power.
So far lots of chopping and no chips flying at this high powered Intervention as the leaders of G8 are 0 for 3 in their efforts with our Addict-in-Chief.
• Step 4 - Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of himself: After a brief discussion with Our Morally Deficient Chicago Politician-In-Chief the Heads of State concluded Step 4 would be an exercise in futility for Mr. Obama.
Considering the unknown and undocumented nature of his upbringing; admitted hard drug abuse starting during his high school years; radical and mysterious college days including two never publically explained trips to Pakistan; twenty years of religious study under America hating racist Reverend Wright; participation in the criminal Communist community organizer group ACORN; leadership role in corrupt Chicago political machine; a State and US Senator; and now as the leader of the most secretive, abusive, and dangerous Administration in the history of the Union all agreed it would take months if not years for the President to compile a fearless moral inventory so they moved on to Step 5, 0 for 4.
• Step 5 - Admit to God/Allah or higher power, to himself and to another human being the exact nature of his wrongs: Still in a classic state of denial the G8 interveners were barking up the wrong tree on this one.
The only wrong or mistake Mr. Wonderful reluctantly admitted to was making Uncle Joe “F...ing, Bite Me, God Bless Him, Dumber Than a Bag of Hammers” Biden Vice President. This was the only issue the G8 unanimously agreed on all weekend.
• Step 6 – He is entirely ready to have God/Allah remove all these defects of character: “Defect of Character” is certainly a fitting description of VEEP Biden. As for removing him the entertainment value will be hard to replace.
• Step 7 - Humbly ask God/Allah to remove his shortcomings: The words humbly and Obama don’t often collide in the same sentence.
Still in full denial mode of his addiction to other people’s money our Epitome of Shortcomings-in-Chief rejected all G8 suggestions of potential character flaws.
• Step 8 - Make a list of all persons he harmed, and be willing to make amends to them all: The G8 interveners pressed hard but the President remained defiant. True to form the President rejected responsibility for inflicting harm on anyone. No way, no how.
• Step 9 - Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others: See Step 8 above
• Step 10 - Continue to take personal inventory and when he is wrong promptly admit it: The G8 Heads of State realized they were dealing with a hardcore addict. Conducting a personal inventory only served to further inflate President Obama’s ego.
• Step 11 - Seek through prayer and meditation to improve his conscious contact with God/Allah as he understands God/Allah, praying only for knowledge of God/Allah’s will for him and the power to carry it out: President Obama deferred any and all questions about God/Allah’s will to his racist America hating spiritual mentor of twenty years, the always effervescent Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
• Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, carry this message to other addicts, and practice these principles in all his affairs: After hours of unsuccessful efforts to get President Obama to recognize he has an addiction problem the intervening G8 Heads of State were feeling mighty rode hard and put up wet. Despite a valiant effort by the G8 leadership our Addicted To Other People’s Money; Camels; Socialism; Corruption; Golf; Telling Of Tall Tales-In-Chief’s intervention was an abject failure.
Any American President who for good reason gets taken to the woodshed by Socialist European Heads of State to hear what for about reckless spending, unsustainable deficits and Socialist initiatives destined to fail surly must be committing an impeachable offense. These infractions, especially when it involves taking a justified verbal thrashing from the President of France, simply must rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be aggressively pursued by Congress.
In the mean time if making a trip to Hell be sure to button up and put on them long johns, keep an eye on the horizon for low flying pigs, and as for monkeys flying out of Al Gore’s butt probably the less said the better.

Week 75: An Old Fashion Intervention
“Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.”
P. J. O'Rourke
Always figured if the day ever came when a French President advised our Commander-in-Chief to get control of government spending, deficits and new Socialist programs it would be the same day Hell freezes over, pigs fly and monkeys fly out of Al “Sex Poodle” Gore’s Nobel Prize winning Global Warming butt. That’s exactly what happened at the G8 Summit during Week 75 of the deficit exploding, record debt accumulating, criminally irresponsible spending Obama Administration.
In fact, all seven of the other members of the G8 rejected our Marxist/Socialist-in-Chief’s proposal for a worldwide stimulus and the continuation of massive deficit spending. Ain’t no never mind about it when the Socialist Nanny States of Europe are justifiably lecturing us about our dangerous big Government Marxist fiscal policies it’s time for a serious evaluation of our current leadership and their reckless dismantling of our free market capitalist economy.
According to highly placed sources attending the Summit European leaders were so concerned about President “Yes We Can Bring Down the Entire World Economy” Obama they actually conducted an Intervention on the lad. With the full knowledge and cooperation of the Secret Service Presidents and Prime Ministers Harper of Canada; Sarkozy of France; Merkel of Germany; Berlusconi of Italy; Kan of Japan; Medvedev of Russia; and Cameron of Canada physically abducted Mr Obama and attempted to cure our fearless leader of his addiction to spending other people’s money (Socialism).
Employing classic Intervention tactics and methodology the group tried to find family and friends to participate but couldn’t put their hands on any that weren’t also addicted to others people’s money and/or are devout Marxist/Socialist/Communist themselves. Failing to recruit any reinforcements they proceeded with the tried and true12 Step road to recovery that has saved untold millions of addicts from their self destructive behavior.
Following is a brief review of their session:
• Step 1 – Admit he’s powerless over his addiction - that his life has become unmanageable: Barack Huissan Obama will never, under any circumstances, admit that he is powerless over anything including his addiction to spending/wasting other people’s money. Even after hours of often heated, intensive discussions with his foreign counterparts the President remained in total denial.
As for his life being unmanageable, reckon that just might be the understatement of the century. This is a man totally lacking the skills and/or aptitude to manage his own affairs, a Taco Bell and certainly not the world’s only remaining super power.
• Step 2 - Coming to believe that a Power greater than himself could restore his sobriety/sanity: The Anointed One; Mr. Ultimate Alpha Dog; Head Honcho; Mr. Transformational; Allah’s Gift To the Great Unwashed Masses is physically, emotionally, and intellectually incapable of ever acknowledging any power greater than himself.
No words of wisdom, persuasion or reason from his fellow Heads of State convinced Barack “The Great All Knowing One” Obama to even consider the possibility of a greater power.
• Step 3 - Make a decision to turn his will and life over to the care of God or greater power: Our fearless leader of the free world argued fiercely with his interveners that his judgment, vision and wisdom are far too valuable for him to subordinate his free will and life to God or a higher power.
So far lots of chopping and no chips flying at this high powered Intervention as the leaders of G8 are 0 for 3 in their efforts with our Addict-in-Chief.
• Step 4 - Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of himself: After a brief discussion with Our Morally Deficient Chicago Politician-In-Chief the Heads of State concluded Step 4 would be an exercise in futility for Mr. Obama.
Considering the unknown and undocumented nature of his upbringing; admitted hard drug abuse starting during his high school years; radical and mysterious college days including two never publically explained trips to Pakistan; twenty years of religious study under America hating racist Reverend Wright; participation in the criminal Communist community organizer group ACORN; leadership role in corrupt Chicago political machine; a State and US Senator; and now as the leader of the most secretive, abusive, and dangerous Administration in the history of the Union all agreed it would take months if not years for the President to compile a fearless moral inventory so they moved on to Step 5, 0 for 4.
• Step 5 - Admit to God/Allah or higher power, to himself and to another human being the exact nature of his wrongs: Still in a classic state of denial the G8 interveners were barking up the wrong tree on this one.
The only wrong or mistake Mr. Wonderful reluctantly admitted to was making Uncle Joe “F...ing, Bite Me, God Bless Him, Dumber Than a Bag of Hammers” Biden Vice President. This was the only issue the G8 unanimously agreed on all weekend.
• Step 6 – He is entirely ready to have God/Allah remove all these defects of character: “Defect of Character” is certainly a fitting description of VEEP Biden. As for removing him the entertainment value will be hard to replace.
• Step 7 - Humbly ask God/Allah to remove his shortcomings: The words humbly and Obama don’t often collide in the same sentence.
Still in full denial mode of his addiction to other people’s money our Epitome of Shortcomings-in-Chief rejected all G8 suggestions of potential character flaws.
• Step 8 - Make a list of all persons he harmed, and be willing to make amends to them all: The G8 interveners pressed hard but the President remained defiant. True to form the President rejected responsibility for inflicting harm on anyone. No way, no how.
• Step 9 - Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others: See Step 8 above
• Step 10 - Continue to take personal inventory and when he is wrong promptly admit it: The G8 Heads of State realized they were dealing with a hardcore addict. Conducting a personal inventory only served to further inflate President Obama’s ego.
• Step 11 - Seek through prayer and meditation to improve his conscious contact with God/Allah as he understands God/Allah, praying only for knowledge of God/Allah’s will for him and the power to carry it out: President Obama deferred any and all questions about God/Allah’s will to his racist America hating spiritual mentor of twenty years, the always effervescent Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
• Step 12 - Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, carry this message to other addicts, and practice these principles in all his affairs: After hours of unsuccessful efforts to get President Obama to recognize he has an addiction problem the intervening G8 Heads of State were feeling mighty rode hard and put up wet. Despite a valiant effort by the G8 leadership our Addicted To Other People’s Money; Camels; Socialism; Corruption; Golf; Telling Of Tall Tales-In-Chief’s intervention was an abject failure.
Any American President who for good reason gets taken to the woodshed by Socialist European Heads of State to hear what for about reckless spending, unsustainable deficits and Socialist initiatives destined to fail surly must be committing an impeachable offense.

Thoughts of Obama from Bama
Week 74: Obama’s MacArthur?
“I fired MacArthur because he wouldn’t respect the authority of the president. I didn’t fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was."
Harry S. Truman
Abe Lincoln had to deal with Major General George McClellan, Commander of Union Forces and the Army of the Potomac. The good General’s refusal to take the fight to Lee’s Rebels in Virginia in defiance of the President’s constant pleading, cajoling and orders combined with his public insubordination finally forced Lincoln to unceremoniously relieve McClellan of command.
General McClellan’s refusal to engage delayed the Yankee’s victory in the War for Southern Independence by at least a year or two costing both sides thousands in additional casualties.
General Douglas MacArthur, a brilliant military genius and inspirational leader repeatedly publicly defied President Truman during the last days of WWII and the initial stages of the conflict in Korea. Truly a legend in his own time, and in his own mind, MacArthur eventually pushed it too far and “Give em Hell” Harry was just tickled pink to remove the General from his command.
During Week 74 of the train wreck known as the Obama Presidency the far leftwing rag the Rolling Stone published an expose on General Stanley McChrystal, our Commander of US and Allied Forces in Afghanistan. Based on comments quoted in the article it doesn’t seem the General and his staff thinks to highly of our Commander-in-Chief or his Advisors.
This serious breach of Military ethics won the General a free trip to the Presidential woodshed for an old fashion, foot stomping, raised voices, gather at the river, come to Jesus (or in President Obama’s case Mohammad) gathering.
What possessed this highly decorated elite group of fighting men to speak with such candor within earshot of Rolling Stone remains a mystery. What’s not a mystery is the disdain and contempt these gentlemen have for their civilian bosses.
Following are a few quotes from the article:
• Views on the President
• The Rolling Stone article described the general's first one-on-one meeting with Obama as awkward, leaving the reader with the impression that the president did not come prepared.
• An adviser to McChrystal was quoted calling the meeting a "10-minute photo-op."
• The adviser continued: "Obama clearly didn't know anything about him, who he was. Here's the guy who's going to run his f---ing war, but he didn't seem very engaged. The Boss was pretty disappointed."
• McChrystal personally commented on the three-month review period last year during which Obama and his advisers charted a new strategy in Afghanistan. "I found that time painful," McChrystal said. "I was selling an unsellable position."
• Vice President Biden
• "Are you asking about Vice President Biden? Who's that?" McChrystal said, laughing.
An adviser chimed in: "Biden? Did you say: Bite Me?"
• James Jones, National Security Advisor
• An aide was quoted calling the retired four-star general a "clown" who is "stuck in 1985."
So, is this Obama’s MacArthur? Not even close. Not in the same zip code, area code or ballpark. Lincoln and Truman had extremely difficult decisions. Obama was confronted with a no brainer, a proverbial piece of baklava.
Consider the following:
1. McClellan was Commander of all Union forces; MacArthur was Supreme Commander of all Forces in the Pacific; McChrystal is our Commanding General fighting Islamic Jihadist in Afghanistan. An important position but somewhat insignificant in comparison.
2. Preserving the Union was in the balance for Lincoln and McClellan; Truman and MacArthur were saving the world from tyrannical dictatorship and Communism; Obama doesn’t have a clue who he’s fighting or what for and McChrystal’s surge in Afghanistan doesn’t exactly rise to same threat level as the two previously mentioned conflicts.
3. Both McClellan and MacArthur were high profile; well connected; greatly revered; and extremely popular with the general public. With all due respect outside of the Military and DC insider circles General McChrystal is an unknown commodity relatively speaking.
4. In the final analysis Presidents Lincoln and Truman demonstrated great courage, wisdom, leadership and command qualities releasing two iconic Generals, especially in MacArthur’s case, of their commands. In comparison the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue made far too much of a routine decision that was blown totally out of proportion by the 24 hour news cycle and the President’s adoring dominions in the media elite press corps.
At the same News Conference confirming McChrystal’s early departure the President announced he was being replaced by General David Petraeus, one of our most experienced, capable and successful Commanders. Actually a smart move but hailed as brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant by every leftwing, pinheaded, liberal commentator and reporter desperate to build their man up who’s poll numbers and perceived competence have been in free fall for months.
Typical to form, President Obama, who would gladly take a good ass kicking before giving W credit for anything, and the far left media elite press failed to mention that Petraeus was W’s handpicked boy to implement the surge strategy in Iraq. Even more curious is the deafening silence about the vicious public verbal assault inflicted on Petraeus by former Senators Obama, Biden and Clinton about his role leading the surge strategy.
The three Senators who were all presidential candidates at the time openly mocked and scolded the General accusing him of lying to Congress, fabricating data and of being guilty of war crimes. Our future Secretary of State Hillary “Sarge” Clinton had this to say about the good General, "I think that the reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief."
Hopefully General Petraeus’ acceptance of this position came with strings attached. A free hand with no Presidential interference; no lectures from Joe “Bite Me” Biden; and no visits from Hillary and her butt ugly pants suits. We can only hope for the sake of the mission and victory in Afghanistan the President stepped out of character and had the good sense to make such a deal.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 73: Presidential Proclamation- June- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month
“…Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other…”. …"What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?..." "…Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out." Willie Nelson
Reckon not too many of y’all knew our Don’t Ask , Don’t Tell Gay Activist –in- Chief Decreed June 2010 as” Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month”. At the risk of sounding politically incorrect and being accused of acting like a homophobic yahoo don’t the country and our illustrious leader have a few more pressing issues on his agenda than appeasing a small but extreme, vocal, somewhat fringe constituency?
Bless his heart, Our Oil Driller-in-Chief might be as management and leadership challenged as the absolutely worse Son of the South to ever occupy the Oval Office, Jimmy “The Peanut” Carter. With limited options, resources, public support and presidential approval ratings sinking like a led balloon a little common sense prioritization might greatly enhance his ability to effectively address and resolve the many serious problems we’re currently dealing with.
Instead of the President’s current Check List:
1. Decree as many silly days and months recognizing small and unimportant groups as the Gulf of Mexico sinks into the eighth level of Hell
2. Force “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy down Military’s throat
3. Schedule more photo opps; PR events; W blaming; and demonizing BP whitch hunts
4. Scare the hell out of our gullible sucker populace and take advantage of oil spill crisis to railroad Cap/Tax thru congress
5. Give Hamas/Palestinians terrorist $400 Million for Humanitarian Aid
6. Jam another $50 Billion in so called stimulus for public/union jobs down our throats
Maybe he should be thinking more along the lines of:
1. Quit pointing fingers, Especially at W
2. Work the problem. Get the boys from NASAon it. Obama suspended all manned missions so thousands of brilliant minds are currently seeking a new challenge. Besides they are NASA, they got people who just sit around and think sh#@t up.
3. Oppose UN opposition of Israel’s Naval embargo
4. Come clean on the oil spill panel’s recommendations about the drilling moratorium. They recommended ginst it and O and Solazar criminally misrepresented their views
5. Knock off all the sexual Orientation/Preference Proclamations
Why one’s sexual orientation is grounds for special treatment under the law just doesn’t seem to rise to the same level as race, creed, color and/or gender anyway. Why does a person deserve special protection because they can’t make up their mind and their proverbial door swings both ways. Perverted, deviant behavior may be in the eye of the beholder but it’s unequivocally a slippery slope when granting protected legal victim status.
True to form, the Yes We Can gang is hell bent on creating several new Victim Classes (and from their perspective new democrat constituencys) based on sexual orientation/Preference and according to highly placed sources in the Administration the following Presidential Proclamations will be passed down from the Mountain Top soon. For instance:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2010 as (…See Below…) Month
• Dendrophiliac - love of trees. Gives a whole new meaning too the term tree hugging bark eater
• Objectophiliac –Love of inanimate objects. President Obama cried like a baby when the Secret Service took away his blackberry
• Mechaniphiliacs –Love of cars. Honda’s give great lube jobs
• Zoophiliac – Sexually attracted to animals – wealthy Jihadist tend to be smitten by camels. The blue collar working class Jihadist prefer goats.
• Diaper fetishism - sexual arousal from diapers. Certainly explains the most frequently adorned head ware of the well dressed Jihadist
• Katoptronophiliac - sexual arousal from having sex in front of mirrors. Bill Clinton is a well known practitioner, includes cigars and wearing blue dresses
• Plushophiliac: sexual attraction to stuffed toys or people in animal costume, such as theme park characters. Mickey goes commando
• Genetic sexual attraction - sexual attraction between close relatives, such as siblings, first and second cousins or a parent and offspring. Just the rage in Oklahoma; West Virginia, Pakistan; Afghanistan and Yemen.
• Xenophiliac: sexual attraction to foreigners. President Obama seems to have a school girl crush on every Muslim world leader he has had the honor to bow down too
I call upon all Americans to observe these months by fighting prejudice and discrimination in their own lives and everywhere it exists.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.
BARACK OBAMA
In addition to sexual orientation/preference designations we have it on good authority from highly placed sources in the Administration the President is also planning to make a mess of additional day and/or month decrees in support of his Bend Over, Grab His Ankles, Thank You Sir May I Have Another Foreign Policy. Following are several examples:
• Take a Jihadist to Happy Hour Day
• Save a Camel Ride a Jihadist Day
• Go Commando Under Your Jilbab DAY
• Send a Jihadist Sky Diving Without a Parachute Month
• Make Friends With an Infidel Day
• National Wear Your Turban Inside Out Day
• Declare yourself a Martyr Month. We’ll Gladly Send Your Happy Ass Packing To Meet Allah Up Close And Personal.
On the seventh day of the 73rd week of the Socialist/Marxist train wreck otherwise known as the Obama Presidency our Orator of Empty Rhetoric-in-Chief made his first speech from the Oval Office. He spent the first third demonstrating his incompetence and inability to resolve the oil spill disaster. The second third blaming BP, W, the Tea Party, global warming, Fox News and Joe Joe the Dog Face Boy for all his failures and shortcomings.
Finally, Mr Obama spent the last third of his talk extolling the virtues of his Nationalized Energy plan, Cap and Tax. Not even one mention of his Decree establishing June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. Reckon the President isn’t ready to promote bisexual and transgender pride during prime time from the Oval Office.
Probably the smartest thing he didn’t say all night.
