Barack Obama Meets His Maker

While tracing around the channels trying  sadly to find Alabama getting  its giblets kicked in, Hunky Husband gratuitously lingered on what appeared to be my favorite politician being interviewed by my favorite celebrity. Barak Obama was on the Oprah show yesterday. Swearing lavishly, I struggled for the remote and he reminded me to tolerate her for the sake of the blog. Alright, already. I got a TUMS and gutted it out.

Oprah led the puppy down the path. Senator Obama from the Great State of Illinois uttered the word "Darfur" {screen shot of starving dark brown refugees} riiiight on cue. Senator Obama from the Great State of Illinois laughed knowingly as he gently recounted how his (very white and now very dead) mother had sung to him a lullaby that he couldn't quite remember the words to (but then neither could Hillary when she went down this road once) that said something about his "beautiful brown skin and brown eyes". {screen shot of  beloved mother holding Barack Hussein in their manicured Hawaiian garden.} The fawning audience of supplicants wiped tears from their eyes on cue, lest they wouldn't get the box of Oreos Oprah might have left under their seat.

The convivial conversation drifted to something, that if you are not a curious student of personal interplay, like myself, you might have missed. His wife, Michelle, gave him a good ration of shit for his incompetency at planning their daughter's birthday party. She went on and on about how she wouldn't trust him to pick out the contents of nine year old's goodie bags at the party store. "He would just get in there to the party store and, you know, freeze up. You have to pick out things for boys and different things for girls. No way."

Oprah began to squirm and attempt to redirect the vector of a conversation going very wrong. She was having  visions of Senator Neophyte in the Oval Office in January of 2009, wetting his bespoke pants at the prospect of picking out which Presidential Seal rug he wished to use. Forget the movement of troops. That might lead to the need for bespoke Depends. She needn't worry, her audience is not as deep as she. And she knows this very well.

The Great One figures if she works really hard and the bow is big enough, she might be able to package Obama up so tightly by election time that her American sycophants will never notice the parts missing out of his box.

To stomach Oprah a bottle of Pepto wouldn't have done it for me and then to have to listen to Obama on top of it....[shudder] I would need something more like a bottle of Kentucky's finest bourbon, but then I wouldn't want to waste such a fine drink on such a nightmare of a human being...

Cheers!

[JANE SAYS: Concur!]

Hmm... since Oprah is behind it, does that make me politically wrong for wanting to do something about "Darfur".

Of course I see "Darfur" as another front on the War on Jihadi. A ripe hunting ground, full of Jihadis, with no bag limit.

[JANE SAYS: Compassion is always politically correct. Let's call it...FASHION COMPASSION, yeah, I like it....Fashion Compassion is for nit wits who need ratings.]

Fascinating how a blogger can go on for 5 paragraphs while saying nothing more substantive than, "I hate Oprah and Obama."

[JANE SAYS: Equally fascinating how two vapid moonbats can go on for an HOUR and say nothing more than "Iloveyooooo,oh,youtoooooo." Real NUANCED MEAT for superficial trolls like yourelf without your OWN BLOGS.]

Bill the Cat was quoted as chanting bar-Aack, bar-Aack!

its my pleasure to be here, I think I'll benefit much more from you than you from me, as I do not generate much traffic. Working on it though, I kind of learn as I go.

[Peacekeeeper]

OBAMA!

[S Markwell]

Seems to me he talked about Darfur, Iraq, his trip to Africa, his family and his vision for the future...

If you really hate Obama that much then I feel sorry for you. You're going to be seeing alot of him for the next 8 years.

BTW, it's usually the trolls who resort to the gratuitous name-calling, but considering the above I can imagine you must be feeling a bit grumpy.

[JANE SAYS: Thank you for aiding in my record blog burst. Tracking for a juicy ad rate on account of your inability to get your own blog. Jane *hearts* trolls!]

[Parklife]

That was a great link. I hadn't seen him on her show. You can really see why he has a great chance at being the next president.

[JANE SAYS: I agree, Proletarian appeal is indeed a sad, sad thing.]

[anita]

interesting observations on obama, seejanemom. despite the fact that i've been accused of being a guilt-ridden liberal, i do believe that obama's being given a far, FAR too easy ride. He's definitely not seen nor been through the fire yet. i wish they'd stop it NOW with this blind adoration thing. it's kind of making me sick.

[JANE SAYS: That is my point exactly. If he is the next "big thing", then great-- God knows the Dems need something REAL to offer the American people.Let's just make sure he IS REAL. {If you can hang with the Aurora boys, you must be one of the few intellectually honest and thoughtful kind of Liberals. You are welcome here ANYTIME.Next time you don't even have to be NICE---but I bet you can't help yourself. ; ) }]

It does seem his suit is empty due to inexperience as opposed to simple vapidness [such as my former Senator, Breck Girl Edwards]. I am hoping Obama will be forced to spend some time with other than the sycophanti. And when he does, he'll spend most of his time saying "I won't be George Bush..." But at some point, someone strong (too bad Oriana's gone) will ask "EXACTLY what will you put in America's goodie bag?" And he'll be forced to say something direct [this NOT from any info] "Oh, a top marginal tax rate of 70%...Stop development of the following weapons systems...Modifications in health care which must, of course, look eventually towards single-payer...The Islamic Courts Union did bring stability to Somalia...We MUST look to the UN for approval in our foreign policy..." THEN we'll have to see how voters respond. So far, he's just put out 3-Card-Monte generalizations. The only real SPECIFIC he's been committed to is his best-selling version of the mantra "Keep hope alive!...".

At least he's not the fraudulent extortionist who originated the phrase.

[JANE SAYS: WELCOME! Get your own blog! The Rational side needs many many voices, even though we say the same things. We need a sea of voices demanding REAL GOVERNANCE. Thanks John!]

[S. Markwell]

seejanemom,
Glad to be of assistance. Hope you get that juicy ad-rate your looking for.

Anita,
I've never understood that "not been through the fire yet" argument. It sounds like some kind of fraternity mentality where it's not considered 'fair' for him to be admitted to the inner sanctum without first withstanding the proper hazing rituals.

When did Hillary get her hazing? Or does she get partial credit for standing on the periphery while her husband recieved his hazing? And if that's so then shouldn't Obama get some of that "through the fire" credit just for growing up black in America? No? How bout for growing up black in America with a white mother? No? How bout for growing up black in America with a white mother and a name like Barack Hussein Obama?

He's the only major candidate out there who had the guts to oppose the Iraq war at a time when Bush's approval ratings were in the stratosphere and the majority of Americans were in favor of the invasion. Hillary spent the last 6 years trying to redefine herself as a moderate hawk and is now desperately back-peddling on her redefined redefinition. NOW she finally admits she made a mistake voting for the war...

[JANE SAYS: Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. NO SARCASM INTENDED (when I say "Libbies", THEN you know I'm being sarcastic ;): I truly wonder if the Democratic Party is hoping that he will remain the blank slate he is now, because their platform is shaky (As per your Hillary backpedal example) --OR-- do the grass root Dems really WANT this naked idealism, personified in an Obama type candidate? I cannot help but believe that all Americans ARE WORN THIN by the status quo dished down to us by BOTH sides. I know I am disgusted by the apologetic and MESSY way this war has been fought. I am tired of the "because it's his turn" mentality when dealing with leadership and candidacy decisions. I would not say it is fair to give anyone a political handicap because of his race or family origin. It goes against everything MLK ever marched for, I think you can concede me that. But I also know how difficult it is for any Senator to become President. Voting records do make those bags heavy.

THE DEMOCRATS WILL WIN THE WHITE HOUSE IN A LANDSLIDE WHEN THEY CHOOSE A PROGRESSIVE, SOUTHERN, PRO-LIFE, FORMER GOVERNOR AS THEIR CANDIDATE. Write it down, you read it here!

So, Mr. Markwell, I frankly hope that you and I may BOTH get just a little of what we wish for. After all, isn't that what its all about?

You come back again, now, you hear?]

[Maggie]

Oprah has her good points...getting people to read. She did and you can't take that away from her. She has a right as much as any other talking head to pick a candidate to back and exert her influence to win him votes and campaign funds. It's not Oprah's fault that the Democratic Party gives her such choices. If you are making me pick between Hillary and Barack with a gun to my head.......I'm leaning into the muzzle and asking for a blindfold and a cigarette.
Markwell - I'll concede he gets points for being against the war before it was cool. But that's not a platform from which to launch a president.

[JANE SAYS: LOVE the blindfold and cigarette image! But I should hope the Founders built us a better process than to leave us no other choice than that. PLEASE FOLKS---can we PLEASE remember who got us here?
PATROITS who lost EVERYTHING for what we take so carelessly for granted these days. Use the voice and the liberty that God gave you DURING THE PRIMARIES, because by the time the GENERAL ELECTION rolls around, you don't even get to choose the BRAND of cigarette you'd like.]

[mad_cow]

The libs fell for Clinton's so called "charm" and they've done the same with Obama. Star quality, that's what they're looking for in a President.

Now on to more important matters, "While tracing around the channels trying to find Alabama getting its giblets kicked".

Now do I have to re-think pulling for your Dawgs or are you going to take that back???

[JANE SAYS: I am watching the DAWGS kickoff AS I TYPE...but I should have put in there (and still may edit) that I was SAD TO SEE them getting their giblets kicked in. Are you kidding me? My hometown is a MAJOR ACC UNIVERSITY TOWN, but I did not wear orange well, and the rest of my family called me a heretic, but my uncle went to BAMA and I went to UGA...unless they are playing my DAWGS....its ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL TIDE in this house. Make NO MISTAKE about that!!!]

[mad_cow]

I knew it! So I did pull for your Dawgs and it worked out fine. Very nice comeback. :)

[JANE SAYS: Worth staying up 'til midnight and a very nice peek at what Stafford has for us in the Fall. Now if could just get those receivers to CATCH those beauties! Sniffsniff...I smell a Richt DYNASTY!!!]

[Miss Carnivorous]

Obama has a skinny neck! I can't stand a skinny neck on a man!

[JANE SAYS: Jane will reserve comment on old wives tales regarding body part symmetry. But Carni is more than allowed to elaborate! ;) ]

[Jack]

When it comes time to do the nut cuttin ... Hillary and the demo machine will sit Obama down and tell him how these things work around these parts. She is going to be King for a day. He will have to wait his turn.

[JANE SAYS: Oh, and I'm sure you know how right you are. KING. Definitely, KING.]
