A tad harsh, possibly, but as one moonbat has recently stated here, in aggregate it is the truth... Friday, March 27, 2009 Burt Prelutsky Squaring Off With Obama by Burt Prelutsky I have to hope for the sake of our countryâs future that when people voted for Obama they really had no idea what a disaster he would be, even though I kept warning them that he was a left-wing lug nut. It seemed to me that his legion of fans had been hypnotized or sprinkled with fairy dust. They blindly accepted that words like âhopeâ and âchangeâ were complete sentences that actually added up to a national policy. We, who assumed that a grown-up whose friends and mentors were people like Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, Saul Alinsky, the folks at ACORN and the most corrupt of Chicago politicians, believed he was more likely to belong in a square cell than in the Oval Office. For my part, I felt a lot like Kevin McCarthy in the movie, âInvasion of the Body Snatchers,â trying to warn my fellow earthlings that the pod people were among us and definitely up to no good. Itâs not just the big things the man does, things such as the kazillion dollar bail-outs, the trichinosis-infested budget and the threat of the Fairness Doctrine being enacted, that make my blood run cold. Itâs not even the allegedly eloquent orator requiring a TelePrompter in order to say, âHello.â What Iâm referring to is the Commander in Chiefâs earmarking $900 million for Hamas and, worse yet, making veterans financially responsible for their own service-related medical treatments. (That comes under the heading of adding insult to injury.) And let us not forget Obamaâs sending the bust of Winston Churchill back to the English embassy and then, compounding that infantile act of boorishness, by treating the Prime Minister of our staunchest ally like a guttersnipe. Funny, I seem to recall Obamaâs partisans insisting that he would personally make the United States popular the world over. Well, so far, he has certainly reached out to Cuba, Venezuela and Iran, and I suppose if he actually closes Gitmo, Islamics will dance in the street of Tehran just before dropping the bomb on Israel. Regarding the recent brouhaha, Iâm afraid Iâm one of the few people who wasnât up in arms over the AIG bonuses. To me, they were just an obvious distraction by the administration, just like the unwarranted attacks on Rush Limbaugh or Clintonâs bombing of the pharmaceutical factory. Iâm not saying I was happy about the bonuses, but a contract is a contract, and I prefer to see a bunch of dirtbags collect their undeserved millions than to see the day that contracts in America are no longer worth the paper theyâre written on. I keep hearing people on the radio and TV going ballistic over the fact that employees at a failed company were collecting as much as four million taxpayer dollars for being rotten at their jobs, and Iâm sick and tired of it. How is it that nobody is demanding that 435 self-righteous congressmen and 100 arrogant senators give back their salaries? Theyâre the folks who not only oversaw a failing economy, but, thanks to pushing sub-prime home loans on people who didnât have a pot to piss in, did the most to cause the financial calamity in the first place. On top of all that, Iâve heard that Obama and his legislative cronies plan to give AIG at least another 30 billion before theyâre done. So how about, instead of having to watch politicians grandstanding over the measly $165 million in bonuses and Charley Schumerâs threatening to get the money back by having the IRS bludgeon these folks to death, the folks in Washington just write the company a check for $29,835,000,000 the next time around? I understand that, according to some recent polls, Obama and the Democrats, in spite of a pandering media, are losing some of their allure after a relatively brief honeymoon. Which canât help but remind me of a line attributed to Oscar Wilde, that Niagara Falls is only the second biggest disappointment in the life of an American bride. Someone recently suggested that in less than three months, Obama went from being a messiah to being a mess. However, here in Hollywood, he is still sheer magic. They utter his name with the same reverence as when Christians refer to Jesus or Bill Maher refers to himself. But, then, Hollywood is a peculiar place where celebrities who treat their own assistants and household help like underpaid coolies, are constantly demanding that Washington should do more for the poor and the oppressed. Hollywood is where actors think God was created in their image, while actresses are so full of plastic and collagen that even their own dogs canât pick them out of a crowd. Iâm sure that Sean Penn thinks he should be ambassador to Cuba, and if only he owed back taxes, Iâm certain this administration would give him the gig. Even as I dream of the day when conservatives take back the reins of government, I worry that in the meantime the liberals will find a way to place a luxury tax on our dreams. Finally, in case any of you were wondering, it will be 117,936,218 seconds until Obamaâs term ends. But, whoâs counting?
Tell the writer of that article that when the choice is between these 2 idiots and Obama,I'll vote for Obama every time <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GEtZlR3zp4c&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GEtZlR3zp4c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/L8__aXxXPVc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/L8__aXxXPVc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xG1aOORf8Pc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xG1aOORf8Pc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
McCain voted for the 750 billion dollar bail out so it proves he would be bailing out companies as well McCain voted for the bail out even though it had millions of dollars of pork,his signature issue
Maybe the republican party ought to wise up and change its primary rules so democrats, "independents", and the media don't choose its next candidate. The alternatives this time were sickening, an inexperienced radical activist/socialist or a sanctimonious, clueless prick.
Our first black President and we are moving closer to slavery with each passing __________(insert acronym, idea, bailout, day).
It is easy to blame democrats. Blame the religious right. It was not going to vote for a mormon no matter what, and instead wasted its votes on huckabee. McCain could have easily won the election had it not been for the total economic meltdown and "the foundations of our economy our strong" and the stupid milf palin who should reside in a log cabin and stay away from any federal office of importance.
It's fairly easy to see you're a twenty year old with delusions of intellectual grandeur. You are the same guy who, right in the middle of obama trying to get his nine trillion dollar deficit passed, informed us that republicans are fools who don't know that you can't spend what you don't have. I think I'll just quit right here as your own posts are doing an excellent job of making an ass out of you.
Ah personal attacks... You people are short on logic and resort to personal attacks as usual. First of all, don't you know two wrongs don't make a right? If Obama is doing something wrong does not mean people can't criticize republicans for doing it before. Care to point to particular posts? of course not. I never endorsed Obama's bailout. He is making a big mistake and I called the cult of personality with obama before he got elected. American elections are about the lesser of two evils. Obama was clearly lesser of two evils when compared to McCain. Underlying republican philosophy is retarded. It always was. Low taxes, small government, big military are the unholy trinity for retards.
