Obama’s Gangnam-Style Campaign: Big Bird, Binders & Biden

October 26, 2012
1 Comment

With less than two weeks left in the blurr of presidential debates and campaign ads and slogans, we are left holding our collective heads like the famous picture, “The Scream.” Obama has certainly taken his bid for reelection in directions hitherto unseen in presidential campaigns in what can only be deemed in the current vernacular — Gangnam-Style: a pulsing, hypnotic beat interspersed with unintelligible words and phrases and flashing psychotropic images.

In the first debate, villianous “Snidley Whiplash” Romney to the Left (Dudley Do-right to the rest) mentioned that he would cut public funding to Corporation for Public Broadcasting, home of “Sesame Street.” The incensed Obama campaign immediately saw a target-rich environment to attack Romney and claimed he would pull the plug on Big Bird.

The “Weekly Standard” ran an article entitled, “Big Bird is Big Business” in which it was reported that, “[i]n 2011 Sesame Workshop took in $46.9 million in licensing income from Sesame Street.” It turns out that Big Bird is part of the 1%! It’s surprising that Obama didn’t demand that Big Bird start paying his fair share!

Next up, during another debate segment, Mitt Romney stated that when he became governor of Massachusetts, he noticed that there were not many high-level women in state government, so he reached out for help in addressing the issue. The Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus provided him a “binder” produced in 2002 by the Massachusetts Government Appointments Project in which were names and resumes of potential female candidates for high-level positions.

Smelling more “blood” in the water, Obama’s team of sharks jumped into action deriding Romney for “putting women in binders” — Bill Clinton, then, immediately interrupted demanding to know where this binder was…

After the US Ambassador to Benghazi, Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in a terrorist attack on the anniversary of 09/11 by a band of well-armed and organized terrorists, the Obama Administration spun a tale regarding a cheesy YouTube “movie” that apparently whipped the otherwise calm and collected Islamic terrorists into whirling dervishes that just happened to spin out of control and ended into murder and mayhem.

Instead of bringing the perpetrators to swift justice, the Obama administration blamed the Egyptian American “film-maker” and threw him into jail (where he sits now, scheduled to be released days after the election).  Apparently, the Left is now not only against the 2nd Amendment but also against the 1st Amendment.

Lastly, Obama unleashed his secret weapon — unlocking the attic and releasing Vice President Joe “Crazy Uncle” Biden.  When Biden addressed Chip Woods, the grieving father of fallen Navy Seal Tyrone Woods, Biden asked Mr. Woods, ‘Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?’

Gangnam-style!


Nancy Pelocchio’s Swamp

July 29, 2010
Leave a Comment

“‘Drain the swamp’ means to turn this Congress into the most honest and open Congress in history. That’s my pledge — that is what I intend to do,” Democrat Speaker Elect Nancy Pelosi told NBC’s Brian Williams on 11/08/2006, the day after Democrats took control of the House of Representatives, while Bush would serve his last two years as president.

On 07/22/2010, the Swamp Creature from the Bleak Lagoon, Democrat Congressman Charles Rangel was charged with violations of House ethics rules after an investigation, stemming from allegations of misuse of rent-controlled New York apartments (4!), failing to report taxable rents on a villa in the Dominican Republic (for 8 years!) and an exchange of official favors for an oil drilling company (doesn’t Rangel know that Democrats don’t “do oil”?).  Rangel, a close friend and ally of Nancy “Drain the Swamp” Pelosi, was in negotiations to “settle” these ethics allegations.  How does one negotiate “ethics”?

The Swamp Creature Rangel & Pelocchio Mutual Admiration Society

Rangel is also the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee which  is the chief tax-writing committee, and he claims that he was confused about the tax code?  Imagine the confusion for the rest of the rank-and-file American taxpayer — who would face stiff fines and possible jailtime — if similiarly “confused.”

The next creature from the lagoon and probably, the best poster child of the Peter Principle is Democrat Congressman Barney Frank, who 20 years ago was reprimanded by the House for ethics violation involving  his male lover running a house of ill repute from his home — among other salacious accusations (and unnecessary details). 

In 2003 — 13 years after that and still in the House of Representatives — Frank was rewarded by his fellow Democrats and found himself the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee where he opposed a Bush administration proposal to increase oversight and additional rules and regulations on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, institutions that contributed heavily to Frank’s campaigns, declaring that they were fundamentally sound. 

When the subprime mess in large part caused by political pressure on lending institutions to loan to unqualified borrowers, the system collapsed — but not the career of Barney Frank.  Obama recently credited him (as well as fellow Democrat Senator Christopher Dodd) as the architect of the recently passed financial reform bill!   Congratulations Mr. Barney Fox for redesigning the chicken coop!

Turning to the “open” part of Pelosi’s declaration of making Congress “the most honest and open Congress in history,” and in keeping with a campaign promise made by President Urkel Obama to make all legislation available to the public for review prior to passage, Queen Pelocchio pontificated that, “We Have to Pass the [Healthcare] Bill So That You Can Find Out What Is In It.”  (Marie Antoinette:  “Let them eat cake.”  Nancy Pelosi:  “Let them read bills — AFTER we pass them…”) 

Nancy “Drain the swamp” Pelosi — instead of draining the swamp in Washington, D.C. — has turned the entire country into a swamp.

“Killing Cracker Babies”: The New Black Panther Party Parlor Game

July 19, 2010
Leave a Comment

“You want freedom? You’re gonna have to kill some crackers! You’re gonna have to kill some of their babies!” So sayeth the peace-loving Minister King Samir Shabazz, the New Black Panther Party’s Philadelphia leader.

If this is the “new” and improved Black Panthers, what would the “old” Black Panthers have said? “Kill the Saltines and some of their oyster crackers to boot?”  (At least that would be more crunchy and less messy.)

New Polling Place Welcome Committee on Look-Out for Crackers

In the immortal words of Rodney King, “Can we all get along?”

Apparently not.

Sugarpants Shabazz is also one of two hoodlums who were caught on video, swinging a club, outside a polling place in Philadelphia on November 4, 2008, allegedly hurling racial epithets at and intimidating both whites and blacks.

After a complaint for voter intimidation was filed against the two and the New Black Panther Party by the Justice Department, the judge ordered a default judgment against them after their refusal to appear in court. The case was done — a slam dunk victory by the Justice Department on behalf of the victims both white and black against the thugs…

…until Eric Holder, Obama’s Attorney General, withdrew the case.  It’s so reassuring that we’re living in the “post-racial” era under President Urkel Hussein Obama.

Now, one does not need too much imagination to picture what would have happened if the racial elements of the story had been reversed.

The moral of the story apparently is that only whites can perpetrate “hate crimes” and only blacks can be the victims. If one is white, there is no need to expect that Justice will be colorblind and that our country is supposed to be run by laws rather than by men.

“In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.”  Almost 50 years before, Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke these words as part of his “I Have a Dream” speech. 

Obviously, both Minister King Samir Shabazz and Eric Holder missed class the day this was taught.  

Meanwhile, the mainstream media “watchdog” — neutered and toothless — shivers over its wee-wee pad in the corner with nary a peep.

“As California Goes…

July 14, 2010

…so goes the Nation.”  How far the world has changed since that phrase was “hark the herald angels sing” but instead now has become something of a curse of impending doom.  The “Golden State” has turned out to be nothing other than a shiny, metallic bangle, made in China, fallen from the frock of the Wicked Witch of the West, HRH Nosey Pelosi from the Asylum by the Bay formerly known as San Francisco (where it is abundantly clear that the inmates are in fact running the asylum).

San Francisco’s nemesis to the south and the nation’s second largest city, Lost Anglos has  now become the official capital city of Azatlan, the once mythical land dreamed up by radical members of La Raza and MEChA; Azatlan is the land reconquered by the “rightful owners” (i.e., ethnocentric Hispanics) of the entire southwestern portion of the United States. 

When Mexican Presidente Calderon was in the United State on his last official visit to take a crack at reading Obama’s teleprompter, chastizing Arizona, one of our own states, in the House of Representatives, he was given a standing ovation by beaming moonbat democrats; after this third-world head of state was done, he was interviewed by The Wolfman Blitzer of the Clinton News Network (CNN).  Blitzer must be getting old and forgetful, obviously thinking he was interviewing a Republican when he actually asked some shockingly straightforward questions of El Presidente.

BLITZER: So in other words, if somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America, through the southern border of Mexico, they wind up in Mexico, they can go get a job…

CALDERON: No, no.

BLITZER: They can work.

CALDERON: If — if somebody do that without permission, we send back — we send back them.

Let’s see:  Mexico deports illegals in its country, but the US is expected to absorb all  illegals who cross the US/Mexican border (including members of Hezoballah) ?

Now, it’s clear why wild-eyed Nazi Pelosi and her gaggle of minions were braying vociferously and clapping their hooves after Calderon basically told the US that it has no right to enforce its own border, while Mexico does the exact opposite.   It seems that hypocrisy is the beacon on the hill and has no limits in Pelosi’s world order.

Speaking of hypocrisy, the Los Angeles City Council recently passed a boycott of the State of Arizona when Arizona passed into law, the law that is already law but nowhere enforced by federal, state or local law enforcement; it seems the braintrusts and unphotogenic rejects from “Depicable Me” that comprise the Los Angeles City Council think it unseemly that Arizona will actually begin to enforce existing immigration laws, making it illegal for illegals to be illegally in the State of Arizona.  What an amazingly draconian action by the State of Arizona! 

Shortly after the smug geniuses passed the boycott, lead by Janice Hahn, scion of the Family that Common Sense Forgot, the LA City Council immediately had to vote on an exception to the boycott by extending a contract to an Arizona company to install photo-operated red-light enforcement cameras.

“The boycott (of the state of Arizona) never intended to impede public safety,” Councilman Richard Alarcon said. “It intended to, if anything, send forth a message to Arizona, but not to negatively impact of the city of Los Angeles.”  (As a side-bar, in keeping with the theme of third-world politics in which Los Angeles has now descended, Alarcon is being investigated for allegedly not legally residing in the area which he represents; a squatter reportedly moved into his “legal residence” in the district which he represents and had time to change the locks before anyone noticed — you be the judge…) 

Obviously, the message should have been that council members should learn to do their homework instead of jumping at the chance to engage in juvenile political stunts to drum up support for illegal alien voters.  Perhaps city council members should figure out ways to fix the innumerable potholes in the street which number roughly in the same range as the number of illegals that have moved in this “sanctuary city.”

Actually, it would be more amusing if Arizona passed a boycott of Los Angeles in retaliation; it is certain that these contestants for reality t.v. sitting on the city council have no idea that Arizona provides about 1/4 of Los Angeles’ electrical power.  One can picture the blowhards at the next City Council Meeting sitting in the dark  (and thankfully silent like when President Urkel’s teleprompter shuts down) at City Hall because Arizona got tired of the children throwing tantrums and decided to throw the switch, so to speak.

Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States, serving under the Obama Administration, recently filed a law suit against the State of Arizona over its “new law” to enforce a law that is already a federal law.  The real question now should be :  Will the Justice Department now file a lawsuit against all US cities that have declared themselves “sanctuary cities” or cities that REFUSE to enforce federal laws regarding illegal immigration?  Number one and two on the list should be San Francisco and Los Angeles. 

Don’t expect that anytime soon…

President Urkel’s Budget Blow-Out, BP’s Oil Slick, and Arizona’s Illegal Immigration Dilemma

July 6, 2010
1 Comment

What do illegal immigration, BP’s oil spill and the US budget have in common?  All are gushing uncontrollably with little relief in sight.

As we witness the oil slick of millions of barrels of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, I am reminded of the US’s current federal deficit.  Why is Obama so blase about the oil?  Look at the economy!  We could put our federal deficit to good use by actually printing the bills and dropping them into the Gulf of Mexico to soak up the oil.  Then again, I calculated that there would be more bills than oil slick.   You know things have gotten out of control when socialist European countries AND communist China are chastizing Obama about his reckless spending.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to blame Bush.  Nazi Pelosi was just quoted as saying that Democrats will stop blaming Bush “when the problems go away.”  Since mankind has always had problems, I guess that means that Bush will from this point forward be the source of all mankind’s problems.  (Democrats have even started applying this principle retroactively, so that World War I, the Hindenburg disaster,  and Jimmy Carter’s presidency are now officially Bush’s fault.)

Like the BP oil gushing into the Gulf and the US Government gushing deficits, illegal immigration is the equivalent gushing of lawbreakers over our southern border.  God must have quite a sense of humor as it was amusing to listen to President Oblahblah tell the American people on July 1, 2010 that, “the border is more secure today than any time in the past 20 years,” then to read in the news the following day, July 2, 2010:

“EL PASO, Texas (AP) – A deadly shootout between gunmen and Mexican police that left seven bullet holes in El Paso City Hall has renewed calls for tighter border security, even as local authorities say little can be done to stop stray bullets from crossing the U.S.-Mexican border.”

Now we have proof that Hezbollah are sending members of their welcome wagon to Mexico so they can easily gain entrance to the US.  Still, Eric Holder, Urkel Obama’s attorney general, today, July 6, filed a lawsuit against the State of Arizona, trying to prevent Arizona from enforcing already existing federal immigration laws amid the bedwetters’ fears that the law “could” lead to “racial profiling.”  Ironic, that this is the same Eric Holder that dismissed actual examples of racism by not pursuing “allegations” (caught on video tape) against African-Americans in the form of the Black Panthers intimidating others at voting booths during the 2008 elections.

By the time President Urkel is done, the US will be able to comfortably teach third-world dictators like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro lessons in how to run an advanced third-world country — Chicago-style.

Obamacare: The Alpo of Health Care Reform

March 27, 2010
Leave a Comment

Now that President Urkel Obama has signed Obamacare into law, it’s amazing to see how many “fixes” and amendments have had to be made already.   Speaker of the House, Her Royal Highness, San Fran Nan Pelosi wasn’t exaggerating when she said, “we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it.” That’s akin to telling us that we have to open Pandora’s Box to discover that all the ills of the world will be unleashed — most of us know the story and didn’t need to repeat Pandora’s mistake.  However, now that SanFranNan-dora’s Box has been opened, we are also finding out that we have unleashed an additional squadron of green flying monkeys to do the further bidding of the Brahmin Witch of the West from the Deranged City by the Bay.

It should be no surprise that the Democrat Party that soley owns this “historic” piece of … legislation — is run by politicians with last names that remind one of bloody battles and sausage-making.   Picture Gore and Slaughter providing the raw materials, so to speak, for the Franks and Weiners (as in Barney and Anthony — is there an abnormal amount of lead in the drinking water in the  Northeast?). 

Anything that takes over 2,000 pages to explain is probably not worth the paper it’s printed on, producing what should fondly be referred to as the “Alpo of Health Care Reform.” As the old motto goes, if it looks like a dog’s dinner and smells like a dog’s dinner, it is probably a dog’s dinner. (Apologies to Purina if associating Alpo dog food with Obamacare creates a public relations issue with their canine customers.)

The Democrats could have simplfied the entire process in much simpler language with far fewer words that the average American can read and understand in one sitting; here is an example:

The right to health care is “ensured by free, qualified medical care provided by state health institutions; by extension of the network of therapeutic and health-building institutions; by the development and improvement of safety and hygiene in industry; by carrying out broad prophylactic measures; by measures to improve the environment; by special care for the health of the rising generation, including prohibition of child labour, excluding the work done by children as part of the school curriculum; and by developing research to prevent and reduce the incidence of disease and ensure citizens a long and active life.”

That is lifted verbatim from Article 42 of the Constitution of the former USSR, which the DNC regarded as the Mecca of political reform,  and look how well that turned out.

The “Weird Science” of Dirty Harry Reid’s and San Fran Nan Pelosi’s Mega ObamaCare‏

December 27, 2009
1 Comment

I never thought that “Weird Science,” the tongue-in-cheek song by the 1980’s band Oingo Boingo, would be so relevant in the world of politics today and the man-made drama swirling around the nation’s cesspool, formerly known as Washington, D.C.

“Weird Science
Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces and
Magic from the hand
We’re makin’

Weird Science
Things I’ve never seen before
Behind bolted doors”

“Behind bolted doors,” indeed. I am positive the Chicago-style political techniques employed by the Obama Administration to “convince” those few remaining “skeptical” Democrats and “independents” to vote for the government take-over of our nation’s healthcare would make water boarding Islamo-fascist terrorists look like an Oprah interview. Water-boarding Islamo-fascists got Nancy Pelochio’s panties in a bunch but strong-arming her fellow Congress-critters into voting for Congress’s version of this swollen governmental take-over of 1/6th of our entire economy was done without batting an eye (which in Queen San Fran Nan’s case is difficult — if not entirely impossible — considering the number of facelifts she’s undergone, making it physically impossible for her to even blink, let alone bat her eyes).

“Weird science
Magic and technology
Voodoo dolls and chants
Electricity We’re makin’

Weird science
Fantasy and microchips
Shooting from the hip
Something different
We’re makin'”

Now, that the Senate version of this Democrat government take-over of our health care has passed the Senate by a vote of all 58 Democrats and 2 “Independents” while the “other” 40 do-nothing, soft-as-a-feather-cushion, inept Republicans standby wringing their collective hands and biting their nails, the two bills – ReidCare + PelosiCare = ObamaCare — must be “reconciled” into one gargantuan bill that will eat the US alive.

This disaster-in-the-making is a clear demonstration of the “Peter Principle” at its extreme; the “Peter Principle” basically states that, “[i]n a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence.” Since the US federal government is in the process of bankrupting our country with Social Security, Medicaid and Medical, why not trust them with the ENTIRE healthcare industry. I really do trust Obama, Reid and Pelosi when they say that this deal will be “budget neutral!” (When has ANY government program been “budget neutral”?)

“Weird Science,” indeed…


ObamaCare Suicide Bombers

December 4, 2009
Leave a Comment

Universal healthcare has been the wetdream of progressives (now known as leftist Democrats) for over 50 years; they are nothing if not persistent, relentless and almost impossible to get rid of — but then again the same could be said of toenail fungus. However, it now appears that with such a prize so close at hand, Nazi Pelosi and Harry “Squeaky” Reid are all but willing to see their numbers significantly winnowed down in the next election in 2010 when the angry villagers throw out of office at least some of their senators and congress critters who end up voting for this barfbag of tricks and taxes, currently known as ObamaCare. (If this is how Obama “cares,” I wonder what happens to those he doesn’t “care for?”)

Pelosi and Reid are like twin gargoyles in headresses and ratty beards sitting crosslegged in a dusty Afghani cave sending out their Obamacare suicide bombers into the body politic to detonate among the same angry villagers; by the time the dust settles, ObamaCare will have been passed and can then promptly be put to the test caring for the wounded and maimed.

“Nancy Pelosi,” Dennis Miller recently observed, “looks like she’d lose a game of tic-tac-toe to a grubworm,” and this is a woman who is now third in line for the presidency and first in line to tell us lowly serfs, that we don’t know what’s good for us and that she and her elitist n’er-to-well know-it-alls do. If death panels are not a part of Obamacare, almost assuredly a large percentage of us Americans will wish there were if this legislative carbuncle is passed and enacted.

In the mean time, deck chairs are being rearranged by Captain Obama and his trusty sidekick Joe Biden on Titanic’s sister ship, The American Economy. The former Community Organizer-in-Chief and his career-politician vice-president held a “jobs summit” today but forgot to invite some key guests, such as representatives from industry and chambers of commerce and entrepreneurs and small business owners who actually create real jobs. This actually makes perfect sense since Obama’s definition of employment only involves government jobs, thus helping to insure the shrinkage of the private sector and a built-in voting block for the next crop of Leftist Democrat politicians.


Reflections on Hope and Change in the Age of Balloon Boy and Cheetos

November 15, 2009
1 Comment

On January 20th, 2009, I hoped for change — now 9 months later, I am just hoping for a little spare change. I feel like I have been reliving my own version of Balloon Boy; as the country has been spellbound with rapt attention to a Jiffy-Pop hot-air balloon carrying off our hope-and-change President, we come to realize that while we have been anxiously watching shiny objects in the sky, our very own “Urkel Goes to Washington” is holed up in a smoke-filled back room playing three-card monty with Rahm and Axelrod while Geithner greases up the government printing presses. (By the way, Rahm and Axelrod sound like appropriate names for two of Capone’s sidekicks — picture extras from “The Untouchables” with cigarettes dangling from upturned lips while holding tommy guns standing at the entrance to the senate chambers, “monitoring” democracy in action much like ACORN “community organizers” monitor voting booths during elections.)

"Urkel Goes to Washington"

Speaking of three-card monty, “San Fran Nan” aka Nancy Bela Lugosi has been swooping around Congress on her broomstick, cackling incessantly about health care while unemployment tops 10% and all the while threatening to use the broomstick to take the temperature of any politician who doesn’t willingly become one of her flying monkeys.

Gagged and bound, the country is forced to watch the spinning healthcare roulette wheel on which the numbers have been replaced by 2,000 pages of drivel. The sheer arbitrary insanity of it is enough to make a person physically sick! (Which begs the question: will sickness due to politicians’ bad decisions be covered in the healthcare bill? Probably not, as it is nothing that a little visit to a re-education camp couldn’t cure, coming by the way to a neighborhood near you compliments of the Stimulus Bill; no doubt such an experience would make Club Gitmo look like a walk in the park sans the endless looping of Britney Spears’ greatest hits…)

Where the healthcare roulette wheel stops is anyone’s guess, but when it does, only Balloon Boy wins — and the rest of us taxpaying pack mules lose. Crowned emperor of a country he apparently loves so much, Obama can barely restrain himself from completely dismantling the US and rebuilding it into his very own version of “The World’s Biggest Loser.” Oddly enough, Obama is starting to feel like a Cheeto tastes — a little zesty with a lot of crunch but full of air and empty calories.

Obama has spent so much time traveling the world and dropping the soap in front of every tinpot, third-world dictator, I expect to see perky Katie Couric in a series of “special interviews” with every despot from pillar to post, discussing how much better each one likes the USA while each greasy dictator, blowing smoke rings from a Cuban cigar, spoons our Cheeto-in-Chief in the afterglow of mutual admiration and self-satisfaction.

In a world of cheesy, cheaply-made reality tv shows, it’s little wonder that we ended up with this unscripted mess filled with narcissitic, self-centered and self-promoting Munchkins eagerly grasping for their 15-minutes of fame without regard to the mess they will no doubt leave behind.
