Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 82: “Your either with us or aginst us”

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction”, Barack Huisan Obama, The Audacity of Hope.

During a dinner to honor the Islamic Holy month of Ramadan, a time of fasting; extensive prayer; no sex; and excessive rug burns observed by Muslims world wide( just what we need, hundreds of millions of hungry; tired; horny; wild eyed Jihadist on the loose) at the White House Friday night of Week 82 of the Obama Administration our Islamic Sympathizer-in-Chief done took a stand.

Making it abundantly clear he’s “aginst us”, two-thirds of us there abouts, President Obama made his support of the construction of a $100 Million Mosque overlooking Ground Zero unequivocal. In an obviously prepared, deliberate and considered declaration the same man who for no apparent reason boycotted his own Country’s National Prayer Day told a room full of mostly Muslim dignitaries it’s just fine by him to desecrate the hallowed ground of 9/11 by allowing a symbol of Islamic aggression, oppression, and conquest to be constructed within a sand wedge of this sacred battle field.

Standing right on up there just like he had good sense the President assured his Muslim guest that the folks in New York behind the Mosque’s development had a Constitutional right to build it right smack dab in the middle of Ground Zero if that location struck their fancy. He further stated this is a religious freedom issue and anyone opposed is a racist, Muslim hating, yahoo who clings to their bibles, religion and guns.

Truth be told most folks wouldn’t argue with the legal or Constitutional authority these people have to build their Mosque where ever they want. That being said, just because it might be technically legal sure enough don’t make it right.

In the words of Mammy scolding Scarlet for some indiscretion from Gone With the Wind – “It ain’t fittin, it ain’t fittin, it just ain’t fittin.” In fact, the entire notion of building a Mosque overlooking Ground Zero is absurd and anyone supporting this project is crazier than an outhouse rat.

Can you imagine how these boneheaded liberal terrorist sympathizers would react to the following comparably insane gestures that might also be legal but would never be allowed because as ole Mammy so eloquently put it – “It just ain’t fitten”:

• The Japanese putting a Buddhist Temple over looking Pearl Harbor
• A Nazi Recruitment Center across the street from the Holocaust Museum
• Constructing a KKK Memorial for the recently deceased Democrat Senator and Grand Dragon Robert Byrd across from the hotel in Memphis where Martin Luther King was assassinated
• Erecting a forty foot statue of Crazy Horse in full Warrior regalia at the site of Custer’s Last Stand Little Big Horn
• The University of Alabama displaying their thirteen NCAA National Football Championship trophies at Auburn’s Jordan Hare football stadium


A little digging around looking for information about the alleged moderate Imam leading the efforts to build this vile and insulting shrine to Islam reveals some seriously disconcerting facts. Following are a few examples of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s radical extremist views and actions:

• Just days after the 9/11 attacks, Ralf said in a television interview that US policies in Muslim countries were “an accessory to the crime”
• His thoughts on OBL - “In the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden was made in the USA,”
• He has refused to label Hamas as a terrorist organization
• To date he has refused to reveal the sources of funding for this project raising concerns about potential ties to terrorist regimes
• He has repeatedly refused to denounce the barbaric practice of Sharia Law


To add insult to injury Hillary “Of the traveling butt ugly pants suit tribe” Clinton’s State Department plans to send Feisal Abdul Rauf to the Middle East as part of a public diplomacy mission to explain how Islam is perceived in America. Sending this more radical than moderate Imam on a fund raising trip to the Middle East for his victory Mosque at US tax payer expense is a sad commentary on the sadder state of affairs of the Obama apologist, appeasement and down right cowardly foreign policy agenda.

Finally, Imam Rauf and his secret Muslim Brotherhood have a hidden agenda, at least to us infidels, of a most nefarious and disturbing nature regarding their true intentions for this Mosque. Consider this - the new $100 million structure was initially intended to be known as the Cordoba House.

Cordoba is a Spanish city where a victorious Muslim army destroyed a church, building a mosque in its place. On May 18, writing for Atlas Shrugs, Iraqi-American Khudhayr Taher explained: “We must note that a hostile and provocative name [Cordoba] has been chosen for this mosque. Choosing the name ‘Cordoba House’ for the mosque to be constructed in New York was not coincidental or random and innocent. It bears within it significance and dreams of expansion and invasion of the other, striving to change his religion and to subjugate him.”

Instead of building a mult-istory $100 Million dollar symbol of Islamic extremism, aggression and Jihad at Ground Zero Imam Rauf might want to give some serious thought about the goodwill that might be obtained by redirecting this substantial amount of money to some truly worthy mutually beneficial causes. Consider the following:

• Wounded Warrior Foundation
• 9/11 Victims and Survivor’s Charities
• Victim’s memorial funds
• Donation to create Ground Zero Park and Green Space ( Thanks to CGG for this contribution)
• Victim’s children scholarship fund
• $50 million to the GOP, $50 million for the Tea Party or how about the entire $100 million for the Impeach Obama Now Committee


As for the question is our President with us or aginst us when it comes to our Country’s relationship with the Islamic world sadly he hasn’t exactly been on our fightin side when it counts:

1. Victory over radical Islam in Iraq
2. Victory over radical Islam in Afghanistan
3. Victory over radical Islam in Iran
4. Victory over radical Islam world wide
5. Convicting and executing the war criminals responsible for 9/11
6. Keeping terrorist locked up safe and sound at Gitmo and not pushing to relocate these POW’S in middle America
7. Apologizing to the world of Islam for his absolutely ludicrous belief that the United States has exploited, oppressed, and acted like a conquering imperialist occupation force in our dealings with his Muslim brethren
8. His claim that the US is not a Christian nation
9. His tendency to bow down to despot Muslim world leaders
10. His support of building a Mosque over looking Ground Zero knowing it is a symbol of radical Islamic Jihads victory and triumph.


Thoughts of Obama From Bama has never accused our President of being a Muslim. We can say if he ain’t one he sure as hell has missed a good opportunity.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 81: Happy Birthday Mr. President

"I promise not to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience." Ronald Reagan, 1984 Presidential Debate with Walter Mondale


Ronald Wilson Reagan put a whippin of monumental proportions on Democrat challenger Walter Mondale in the1984 Presidential election. His memorable and most effective response to a question about his advanced years possibly adversely impacting his ability to serve as Commander-in-Chief was put to rest once and for all after delivering the classic line quoted above during their final debate.

Our 44th President, Barack Husein Obama, celebrated his 49th birthday this week. His youth and inexperience along with a mess of character flaws combined with his Marxist/Socialist agenda have resulted in nothing less than a national tragedy.

Right smack dab in the middle of all this heartache and calamity caused in large part by our wet behind the ears President our Birthday Boy-in-Chief headed home to Chicago last weekend for his 49th birthday festivities. The consummate family man, model husband and father, at least according to the pointy headed mainstream media elite press corps, welcomed in his 49th year surrounded by his loving and adoring family, close friends and an entourage of thousands all in Chicago for the weekend at taxpayer's expense.

This little shindig appeared to be the ideal birthday weekend for our Husband and Father of the Year-in-Chief with the exception of one small hitch in the proceedings, the loving first wife and adoring first youngins were nowhere to be found. Turns out Lady Michelle with the youngest first daughter in tow were taking a little sojourn in the South of Spain while the oldest first daughter was staying with friends.

Putting aside for now the absolute arrogance, elitism, and insensitivity to the economic train wreck millions of poor pilgrims all over the country are currently dealing with, primarily created by her husband's wild eyed spending and Socialist initiatives, demonstrated by Lady Michelle's poor judgement to vacation in Europe as a prelude to the First Family's upcoming holiday in Martha's Vineyard if the kin folks absence at the Presidential birthday bash was an isolated incident we'd certainly be more than happy to let it ride.

Truth be told, this Administration's consistent pattern of behavior of empty rhetoric so frequently expressed by and/or about the First Couple that so infrequently has any basis in reality. Consider the following:

  • After reluctantly throwing his spiritual mentor and senior advisor under the bus, the always good for a hate whitie remark the effervescent Pastor Jeremiah Wright, and quitting their racist church after twenty years the Obamas announced to the world openly and without shame their intent to join a church in DC as soon as they settled in at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. 81 weeks later they have yet to venture sticking even a big toe into one of our Capital's thousands of Churches let alone commit to membership with a new congregation.

  • We all recall the President and all his political hacks promising all the healthcare deliberations would be open and televised on CSPAN. In reality one of the most stealth, corrupt and partisan approaches ever employed to pass a piece of Congressional legislation

  • Lady Michelle has become the country's leading advocate in the fight against child obesity. In addition to just raising awareness, educating and promoting good nutrition the First Lady has asked Congress for six billion and federal mandates to enforce her pet project. For a couple that gives a heapen helpen of lip service to the virtues of the private sector and capitalism they sure enough always seem to have a Socialist Nanny State solution for every issue

  • The Obama Administration promised their Trillion dollar plus so called Stimulus Package would create millions of jobs, keep unemployment under eight percent, serve as the catalyst for an economic renaissance and provide financial security for untold millions for decades to come.

  • Contrary to their frequent claims of devout faith in Christianity the Obamas are the first First Couple to not participate in National Prayer Day or attend some manner of Christian religious services on Christmas

To borrow a phrase from our good friends from the great state of Texas in each instance listed above the "Change/Believe/Yes We Can" gang turns out to be all hat and no cattle. In other words this gang's rhetoric seldom matches up with their true intentions.

Knowing this could explain why our young First Husband and Father-in-Chief was batching it in Chicago for his 49th. Contrary to the countless interviews and articles depicting the devoted husband and father there's a strong possibility our Model Family Man-in-Chief is a two timing cheating scoundrel who is following in the footsteps of his political heroes the philander brothers Jack, Bobby and Teddy.


In fact, Thoughts of Obama From Bama has it on good authority our Party Time Commander-in-Chief personally made the arrangements for his 49th bachelor weekend in Chi Town. Poker, bball, chain smoking, golf and an evening out at an undisclosed location with the likes of Bill Clinton, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods for a serious "male bonding" session.

We don't have a shred of proof to support any of these claims but niether does the Obama Administration for all of their boneheaded and outlandish statements. Any way that's our story and we are sticking to it.

Our investigation of our young 44th President's 49th birthday also uncovered several interesting and disturbing occurrences. Coincidence or a top secret diabolical Marxist/Soviet plot? We don't know but after a thorough review of the evidence certainly can't rule out a serious and high level breach in our National Security.

1961 was not only the year the Anointed One was allegedly born in Hawaii but also the same year when the following historical events occurred:

  • •US breaks diplomatic relations with Cuba
    •1,200 US-sponsored anti-Castro exiles invade Cuba at the Bay of Pigs
    •East Germany erects the Berlin Wall between East and West Berlin to halt flood of refugees
    •USSR detonates 50-megaton hydrogen bomb in the largest man-made explosion in history
    •Moscow announces putting first man in orbit around earth, Major Yuri A. Gagarin
  • Barack H Obama born in unknown/undisclosed location to Soviet nationals. Raised by Marxist/Soviet handlers and instructed in the fine arts of politics, propaganda, deceit, and Communist philosophy. Slated for high level infiltration in US Government with the singular mission to destroy the Country from within
  • Gherman Stepanovich Titov is launched in Soviet spaceship Vostok II: makes 17 1/2 orbits in 25 hours, covering 434,960 miles before landing safely

1961 was a banner year for Communist/Soviet achievements and success. As for our yarn about young Barack we again don't have even a frog hair's worth of evidence to support this outrageous claim but neither did the President when he assured us his Stimulus, Healthcare, and Trillion dollar bailouts would work.

Happy birthday Mr President and thank the lord for your youth and inexperience. If you actually knew what the hell you were doing there is no telling how screwed up things might be by now.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 80: The View From the Top

As the son of a son of a sailor, I went out on the sea for adventure
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
Like a man just released from indenture
"Son of a Son of a Sailor" Jimmy Buffett

On Thursday of Week 80 of the Bolshevik nightmare otherwise known as the Obama Administration our Made for TV-in-Chief broke new and unchartered ground becoming the first sitting President to make an appearance on a day time talk show. Joining the ladies of ABC's The View the leader of the free world spent a hour further demeaning himself and the Office of the Presidency.

Sitting right up smack dab in the middle of their famous couch just like he had good sense Mr Obama basked in the adoration of four of the show's ultra liberal co host, Ba Ba Walters; Whoopi Goldberg; Joy Behar; Sherri Sheperd and one lone conservative and voice of reason, Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Not a serious journalist amongst them including Ba Ba who confessed in her recent autobiography too spending a lot of time on her back during her rise to the top as opposed to any hard work, study or merit.

Led by dumber than a bag of rocks ultra liberal buffoon Joy Behar the view gals exceeded White House expectations providing our TV Spokesperson-in-Chief with an unchallenged platform to spew his lies, misrepresentations and Marxist propaganda. The softball questions came fast and furious along with an abundance of love, awe and worship at the altar of Obama.

Typical to form all questions about the tanking economy, exploding deficits, and high unemployment were blamed on W and the GOP party of no. The View gals mindlessly clapped and nodded in approval with the exception of Ms. Hasselbeck who had been tied up and gagged by her four co host to eliminate any chance the Anointed One would actually be held accountable for any of his tall tales or misrepresentations of the truth.

After about thirty to forty minutes of this unabated Obama love fest the champion of every left wing, extremist, radical, boneheaded cause, Ms Behar, changed the subject and decided the world is in dire need to know the depth of the most powerful person in the world knowledge of pop culture. As if Mr Obama's familiarity with Lindsey Lohan's incarceration, Snookies run for Mayor or what he had for breakfast will provide some great insight about what motivates and inspires our Socialist-in-Chief.

Watching this fiasco with mild amusement does beg the question - why in the hell is the President of the most powerful nation in the history of the civilized world wasting even a minute let alone an hour on a day time talk show discussing irrelevant issues with one has been; one ain't made it yet; one talented and accomplished and fairly reasonable for a liberal; one loud mouthed obnoxious dumber than a bag of hammers left wing head case; and one fairly intelligent and attractive conservative thought leader? Surely this man must have more important and pressing issues that require his time, energy and resources.

In a gesture of pure bipartisanship and in adherence to our patriotic duty Thoughts of Obama From Bama is tickled pink to offer our Top Ten List of More Productive and Important Issues Demanding an Hour of the President's Time:

10. Visit the US / Mexican border, witness firsthand the unbridled carnage, grow a backbone, put the constitution before politics and close down the border

9. Get down on your hands and knees and beg for forgiveness from the US business community for demonizing capitalism and extending our economic down turn

8. Get some golf lessons. You should be scratch as much as you play. Rumor has it you can't even break 100

7. Use the words victory, radical Islam and Jihad during a speech explaining your strategy for winning in Afghanistan

6. Read the Constitution

5. Use one of your daily TV appearances to apologize to the millions of poor dumb pilgrims you have put and kept out of work

4. Cancel your memberships in the Socialist and Communist parties

3. Burn your political bible, the Communist Manifesto

2. Take down the autographed pictures of Stalin, Marx, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Malcom X, Blago, Chavez, FDR, and Snookie, your political heroes that were hung up in the Oval Office your first day on the job

1. Write out your Letter of Resignation

Lets hope the next time Mr Obama feels so compelled to waste an hour with frivolous chit chat that he schedules lunch with Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid and not subject the rest of us to another farce like the one we just witnessed on The View.

Better yet, pick one of the items from our Top Ten List and accomplish something productive for a change. From our point of view number 1 would be one humdinger of a choice.

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.

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.
