When President Obama threw out the first pitch at a baseball game there was satire that was especially disturbing and mean. First was the observation that he was wearing "mommy" jeans. Then it was said that he threw the ball like a “girl" which only shows how stupid some people are because everyone knows that girls can't and don't play baseball--they play softball instead. The thing about the mommy jeans too, well, so what? If true it probably was for the first time in his adult life and it may have made him very proud.
These are distractions by a small part of society that won't accept the greatness of Obama. They want to ignore that Obama has a Grammy award for instance whereas the Beatles don't. Or that Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize for just thinking about peace while Gandhi couldn't accomplish that for all a life time of work. Well it's time to bust some bubbles here and show just how small his detractors are.
The first testament is from the singer currently known as Sting (no relation to Cher) who says Obama "In many ways, he's sent from God because the world's a mess." As for Obama 's detractors he says "They don't want change, they want things to feel the same because they feel safe there." Sting is releasing a new rock album. He's 58.
Now that Obama is here, thank God, literally, Sting hopes that "we can start talking about real issues and not caring about whether God cares about your hemline or your color". Sting may have a point but perhaps God should have sent us a tailor instead of a president.
Senator Patrick Leahy (D VT) points out that along with Obama's swellness comes incredibly good manners: "No one can force other nations to follow, but President Obama is reintroducing America to the rest of the world..." and from that let's hope the two converse on a first name basis.
In this next quote former Clinton white house employee D.D Meyers (the D's stand for Dee Dee, in fact that's how she spells her name or names, Dee Dee Meyers, think of Boutros Boutros Galli). Dee Dee did some research and came up with this:
"Barack Obama is the most famous living person in the history of the world."
No mention on who's second. Some may say that since she's talking about the history of the world the fact that Obama is living is redundant. Well we say it isn't and go one step further to say he is the history of the world.
The next gem is from Rocco Landesman chairman of National Endowment of the Arts. Now Dee Dee and Sting put Rocco at a disadvantage. You can't beat stuff like most-famous-ever or being a divine gift so Rocco, being a tireless reader of rare books, does the intellect angle and he doesn't disappoint:
This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists.
Good for American artists? Don't you mean good for all humanity everywhere? Oh, one final point., Lincoln never wrote a book. Let's stick with the big boys like Julius Caesar, okay Rocco? Lincoln, indeed. I know I know some of you cynics may say that since America is the best place in the world to shop and since Obama is its leader therefore the white house is like one big Sears customer service center since Gimbals ? Not funny, I understand the parallel reasoning, but not funny so stop it you haters.
Many many years ago there was a rock band called Crosby Stills Nash and sometimes Young. They wrote a song that had these words: "teach" music music "your children well" music music, I forgot the rest. The point is we are teaching our children well since Obama became leader. Now the children are singing songs that finally have some meaning:
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"
Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!
It's a good effort but there is a sense that the kiddies are being indoctrinated here with “great nation”.
This next song is better:
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
The song had different words to it and was changed for the purpose of fighting child obesity. It used to be: “He said we must be fair today since we had pizza yesterday mmm, mmm, mm, macaroni and cheese.” We like the new song, kids are getting a little too fat. Thank you Mr. President or better yet, hooray!
Back in the adult world of CBS News where anchorperson Katie Couric who gets paid today three times the amount for equal work at other networks across the way (mmm, mmm, mm) gave us an objective newsy take on Obama:
What he represents to many countries overseas is a departure from the Bush administration which alienated some foreign governments early on with its rejection of global warming initiatives and its national security positions.
..such as going after countries that supported Islamic terrorists when America was attacked. Here's the rule, do not go after people who kill Americans if it means alienating some foreign left of center government. What skewed priorities carbon lover Bush had!
Another news person probably got it better than everyone else. Evan Thomas from Newsweek hit the nail on the head when he was chit chatting with Chris Mathews on the Chris Mathews Show staring Chris Mathews. He's the favorite here because being the most famous ever, the next literary Caesar or being sent by God is nothing compared to being, well, read for yourself:
Obama is ‘we are above that now.’ We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something – I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God.
We know that Thomas is a news person and he has to be objective but he overdoes it when he says "sort of".
Comments
This is the most awful piece of cr*p I've ever read. Poorly written, and full of quotes from obscure people and wildly inaccurate information - makes me ashamed to be affiliated with this website.
Does anyone really know what the writer was trying to say? Maybe it was "tongue-in-cheek." Since he was placing our president in a sort of divine category, I sure hope he was not serious.
From divinity on down, it's only logical that superb human is next. Let's hope a miracle happens and he is able to reach that level.
Jim
Just goes to show what utter hatred the right has for anyone who are not for their philosophy. Go ahead and make fun of people John and yuck it up with your band of consrvatives that post here. We will be busy making this country a decent place for people young and old, rich or poor and not a bastion for money grubbers who have no regard for anyone or anything but the bottom line. ps: TexasPete thinks I should have a frappichino while he doesn't like it when there is name calling. I would argue but he's too much of an wingnut know nothing to bother, there, I called him names but after a half a day it takes him to read this it dosnt matter
Hey Robin, Learn how to laugh. This article was tongue-in-cheek at its best. People of your political ilk don't get it because you are to busy reading Paul Krueggman from the New York Times. We laugh at our own all the time. I think the Will Ferrell impersonation of Bush is Greatness! We need to laugh once in a while. But if you choose not to well go look at "The View"!
Hey Wade I never called you any name. By the way it only takes me 4 hours to read these blogs not half a day. (SMILE). Boy i have a great sense of humor. Hey wade do you have a problem with John and his band of conservatives yucking it up? i thought we lived in a free country. You can yuck it up too. Unless you feel like this is Nazi Germany And forbide it. I'll debate you on this blog any day of the week. Bring your statistics and come on with it. Name your subject matter. No name calling. Just the facts. I will win! Now go to your nearest watering hole with your white shirt and jeans to drown your sorrows.
Wade, Please learn to spell you ilerterated duhs?
LOL
I really liked this article. Where is my nemesis JerT? Must be busy trying to pass the test on the blogs posted from the last article ............ ?
Tex needs to get a life too!
Hatred? Did Wade say "utter hatred"? Well, if the Left views America as criminal for not wanting a socialized health plan, that's a crime. Right?
...... and .....
If hate is also part of Wade's equation,
Does that make it one of those Liberal "hate crimes" Wade? You know, where someone disagrees with socialism and the mental midgets (I like that term for the Left) on the Left view it as a "hate crime" ? Can we go there?
Was there actually a point to this article?
Kristy, The point to this article was called comedy. C'mon people lighten up. Loosen up!
To Texaslittlepeter, I'm afraid I am out of your league as far as debating goes. You want to bring your statistics to a political debate as though it were an accounting contest. By nature you and ctsteve are what we call no-nothings.
Right now we are busy giving you a better life and when you both are through kicking and screaming you both will only benefit and will not trade your new healthcare plan or new cost for your old one for anything. How do I know. Lets do a test by answering this question: Which program would you eliminate: medicare, medicaid, VA, Aid to families with dependent children, section 8 housing. Now just don't say this one and that one but also tell us what you expect of the people who are on those programs plan on doing once the programs are gone?(voting conservative aint cutting it). Now if you think that these programs have to remain then you can conclude that we are just adding health insurance to the uninsured and it is a necessary as the programs above---
What’s up Guys? WOW! Lot of comments from both ends on this one. I think John had so much fun trying to be funny in his last article he just went right ahead and tried again. Well! I must say it was laughable that is for sure!
Scott
Wade i am going to answer your question even though you called me little, by the way how did you know (LOL). I would eliminate Section 8 housing. The vast majority of people on it are scaming the government. Housing projects for example are littered with drug addicts, pushers, pimps, Poverty pimps, and able bodied people who can go out in the free world and strive to make a decent living. But since the govt. provided this program the criteria to what it was meant for changed. So now this program is polluted with young able bodied people who abuse the system. these housing projects are also infested with crime and criminals. I answered your question wade. Give me your response. i'll be waiting. Right now i have to go measure my littleness. I think i grown a little today.
****** Unemploment numbers are now up to 10.2%. Let's praise oblabla......
I have two serious questions for the Left:
#1. How is the stimulus spending working in your Liberal opinions?
#2. When do you Liberals finally wake-up and realize the mis-calculations by your Messiah BHO and in your own minds?
Go ahead scott, you qualify to answer.
(let's see if scott answers questions)
Ok Guys I’ll give it a shot. At 10.2 % unemployment is now equal to the world wide levels. Although this is not good, it is not totally unexpected. Economic stimulus plans around the world in recent history have failed miserably. There must be a part two that includes much more than just throwing money at a money problem! I can tell you this, Ford workers turning down the latest contract offer isn’t the answer either. With the auto industry floundering you would think they would be happy to have a stable job at all! Finally CT STEVE having a liberal point of view dose not make me gay, stupid and asleep!
Scott
texpete so what about the people who don't abuse the system they just go out into the street and fend for themself?
Texas Pete your right it was meant to be funny and some of it was (at least a little funny). As I read it again, much of it seems to come so close to the truth we should all be a little concerned. What is it that makes Obama shine brighter than many people who have done so much more? I mean come on The Nobel Peace Prize why??? For what ???
Scott
Scott, you might not be "gay" but as a Liberal you insist we accept the lifestyle. We don't. You might not be stupid but you push for some stupid political ideas. We don't. You might not be asleep but some of the stuff I hear coming from you Liberals makes me wonder.
The stimulus is simply a spending scam! I will quote your vice-pres Joe Biden, "I'm so amazed at how the stimulus is working so well. It's created even more jobs than we thought it would".
LOL Go Libs!!! Maybe I should have said Libs are stupid and you follow them like Sheeple...?
If I were a Lib, I would be embarrassed to tell anyone! Maybe that's why years ago homos stayed "in the closet" where they belonged.
WOW!! CT Steve Every time I thing you have hit the highest level of moronic babble possible, you take it to another level. You are simply amazing! (At least in your own mind)
Scott
Scott, I know, I know, you want to replace your old National Anthem, "Imagine" with a new one titled,
"Umm Ummm Ummmm .... Barak Hussein Obama".
Right?
What should we call it?
I think BHO's presidency will go down as one of the worst in American history. Close to Carter's -maybe worse. It's as week as his girly-girl fast ball. LOL
Where is my nemesis JumT, and the rest of the Pelosi chums?
CT Steve and TexPete really ought to get some education or maturity or both. If they did they probably would not be the no-nothing insult flying conservatives. I don't think they earn the label conservative. I ask TexPete a tough question and he vanished into the wilderness of ignorance like an injured and dazed animal who just got owned by a progressive. Next!
Hey!!! I see one of the Pelosi fan club is baaaaaaaack. Funny comments Wade. LOL. Libs do make the best comedians.
On a serious note: Socialism has passed in the House and now we need to see if the Senate has any common sense.
Unemployment is up to 10.2%
Can we call it spendulous instead of stimulus now? If not, just how high does unemployment need to rise before the Left wakes-up?
Wade, Here's some food for thought. I agree with the fact that those two "label" people. I've been labeled "wishy-washy" by both of them. However, as I read your blog, I must say, you did the exact same thing you accused them of doing/being. And Scott, what do you mean by the comment about Ford workers turning down a contract offer???
It would be fun if TexPete were a thinking conservative then I can get an answer to my question. Obviously he hasn't thought his conservatism through he seems to have disappeared when things got too complicated for him. Maybe he can't answer the question and now hes changing his mind
Wade asks me "What about the people who don't abuse the system, should they fend for themselves?" The answer is of course No! Thats what program is for, People who are handicapped, Physically unable, or destitude, or elderly. Conservatives do have a heart wade. By the way you know nothing about my educational background. I do hold 2 degrees from a Major University here in the Lone Star State. I did get a 2 year degree from the state of Connecticut. But more important then that, i like politics. I watch, listen, and Learn. Wade its time for you to go to your nearest watering hole and drown your sorrows. You are really pathetic. Say hi to yoyr friend Chriss Dodd for me. He's an upstanding Senator in your state.
Excuse my spelling in the last paragraph i wrote. I was in a hurry. Wade don't hold it against me and my education. PLEASE!
Wade, You asked Tx. a very stupid question. Really. Now you are commenting about a field in which I have some knowledge. I see what goes on with our government "hand-out system" on a daily basis and it is appalling. It's a joke. We are being scammed big time on a daily basis. Most of the people on the hand-out lists do not need to be receiving anything at all. The people that are in need do not get what they need in full because others like yourself are recipients of the system and are fully capable of working a job. The system needs to be reduced in size and scope so that we can actually provide all that is needed and necessary to the people that are really in need. What part of that do you not get? Typical Lib! Don't worry about an average thinker from Tx. answering your questions. Send them my way.
RE: Sheryl
Finally someone who sticks to their guns. Let me get this correct you said "The system needs to be reduced in size and scope so that we can actually provide all that is needed and necessary to the people that are really in need." I agree with that. By the way I'm not on public assistance. So here's my scorecard. Me the liberal wants social programs to work to provide for the less needy and so do you. Thanks conservative Sheryl. As for texpete he says "Thats what program is for, People who are handicapped, Physically unable, or destitude, or elderly. Conservatives do have a heart wade." I agree with that too thanks conservative Tex. Now why cant we do the same for the uninsured again?
Wade, I read what she (Sheryl) wrote and she did not say she wanted more for the "less needy". Get it straight.
As for the comment about hand-outs for the uninsured (and that is what it is), the list of reasons for "why not" is way too long for this venue. In short, we already "give" them care. Now you socialists simply want to change my way of health care and have me pay for something I don't want to pay for. In the process of doing this our country becomes further divided. When do you socialists stop?
Wade the reason why we can't do the same for the uninsured is simple "MONEY". The USA is broke. But more important then that look at the other countries that do have it. It is a failure. Government is inherently inefficient. Everything they touch it is forever tainted or abused.
Well, I read what Wade wrote too and maybe he mis-typed what he meant to say??? IDK I think maybe he meant to say "the needy" and not " the less needy"............... (I think) What do you think Tx?
To TXpete. I'll ask this. If the government had a large surplus then you would be for government insurance? I would think that that would satisfy your major reservation and you would be all for letting your neighbor have health insurance, right? By the way you are wrong when you say other governments have it, no other country has government insurance.
Detroit, Wade doesn't know what he is saying, AND when you ask the Left for clarification, you will not get a response. Let it go Detroit and try to stay informed. We are surrounded by Libs and as this great country wakes-up, we will elect others. Soon 'you' will mature, think clearly, and become a conservative. Your wishy-washy nature will always be a concern.
Here's a message for Wade (if it doesn't get censored). You clearly do not understand another's position. We do not want a Public Plan. Period. America has spoken and has said "No" to the Public Plan. You stand with the few that are trying to jam it down our throats. It's a Liberal scam and you have fallen for it because you love to "circle the wagon" for the likes of Pelosi because it "feels good". Ever listen to that woman talk? OMG and you follow her lead??? If it were up to me, I would have each one of you socialists deported to a socialist country. You would be happier there.
Government insurance??? Wow! Truly amazing!
Texpete is gone it looks like I win again, he had no answers and therefore he hasn't thought things through. Ctsteve can do all he can to help his friend out but he is also without knowledge about what he thinks he knows.
Wade, I answered your question and you responded by saying .......... what?
I'm not going to take a side here but maybe I should.
I hope this is a joke, because it is HIGH-LARIOUS
