WASHINGTON (AP) - What kind of politician brings a teleprompter to a news conference?
Yes.
That's exactly it. Not George W who they called a stumbling retard, not
Ronaldus Magnus who they called a senile old right-wing crackpot,
certainly not BJ Clinton who everybody knew was lying 100% of the time,
never the weedy HW, not even the mock-sincere Carter needed to read his
answers off cue cards. Yes even Carter, one of the worst presidents
ever, could still field questions from a pack of reporters. Think if
Nixon had shown up with a teleprompter-equipped podium for the pressers
he did as Watergate closed in on him. Dan Rather would have ripped one
of the screens off the podium to try to club The Trickster with it.
What if Obama gets in a very tight spot where the whole country is
pissed off at him, will he bring his teleprompters to that press
conference?
Who is this guy? There are these serious things
going on all around and he doesnt even seem like a player. Its like
having a male model for President. Yes, he is really, really, really
good looking, I'll give you that, but do we want Zoolander at the helm
of the ship of state while a Category Five hurricane is going on
outside and the cargo is on fire? What kind of people voted for these
idiots without noticing how completely lame they were?
There are
times in the past when I've been embarrassed at my going over the top.
My family and friends think that I'm a completely flipped out loonie
with my weird right-wing obsessions. Sometimes I believed them. What
was wrong with me? Was this the ultimate LSD flashback? Was I
hallucinating catastrophe where there was none? Did I really think that
all those things I said about liberals were true? They're not really going to end free markets and free speech. I mean, calm down!
What
about those other kooks I 'blog' with? Probably a bunch of unwashed
agouraphobiacs in dimly-lit house trailers deep in the backwoods in
their cammo pajamas, disassembled guns on the coffee table, loose
bullets rolling on the floor waking the two obese Akita-Rottwieler
mixed spike collared savage mongrel fleabags, sitting in the empty beer
can and bargain rye bottled landscape grinding their teeth with anger
at the bad old Democratic Commie Conspiracy. It just wasnt going to be
that bad, I mean really! We were overreacting, c'mon, admit it!
But
it is that bad, we werent overreacting. These Democrats are as bad as
the nuttiest fruit-bar drunken fever-brained right-wing lunatic ever
imagined they would be. Worse. Those socialist mutts are in the process
of screwing everything up ON PURPOSE! Thats how stupid a Harvard degree
makes a person. Some guy with a tinfoil hat crouched over a glowing
computer monitor in his VA repo double-wide in Beaver Fart, Nebraska
has a more sane view of reality then everybody at the Brookings
Institution put together! I
dont take back one word I've ever said about the Democrats. They havent
neglected to be as bad as my worst imaginings thought they would be. In
fact, I curse myself for being a mealy-mouthed temporizer who has been
too kind to these creeps who stand poised to steal everything I have,
cancel the Bill Of Rights and destroy my country.
Why dont the
people around me notice that policies are being introduced that will
have these effects? They dont notice because they see Obama, not on
CSPAN or in the columns posted on RCP.com but on the Tonight Show or in
the pages of People Magazine. They dont have a running political
commentary in their ears that makes any sense. Things are scary and
this really, really, really good looking guy says he's going to deal
with it so like chill baby! Just set a few Wall Street Baddies to
rights and we can all get on with our lives. National Public Radio
hasnt panicked so why should we?
We live in a time when the
people who waved fingers and yelled at the top of their lungs at George
Bush's $400 billion deficit now are proposing a budget with a two trillion dollar deficit! Half
of this is stuffed into a 'stimulus' bill that didnt have one single
thing in it that would stimulate the economy in any way. That dead
mackerel has been stinking up the political landscape for a few weeks
now and I still have yet to read one single explanation of a cause and
effect relationship between the passage of this bill and an increase in
employment. But liberals arent big on Cause And Effect. They still cant
show any data that there is a link between carbon dioxide emissions and
global temperatures but they accept that there is because they want
there to be to suit their political purposes.
Someone e-mailed
me that they thought the Insane Commies were going to drop Cap And
Trade or Card Check. They only will do that if some opposition develops
that makes it politically impossible. But what opposition? If all
enforcement of voter-fraud laws is suspended then they always have as
many votes as they need. And the People Magaziners dont care. The fear
that The Founders had of democracy is writ large in the actions of the
modern Democratic Party. A few more of these destructive policies put
in place will create 20-30% unemployment and rampant inflation. And Our
Socialist Masters will be happy if carbon emissions decline. Whew!
Great! We Saved The Planet! What a sense of planetary pride we'll all
have living on a fifth of the income we make now.
Because that
is their biggest crime. The Democrats have destroyed our currency. Our
money will be worth as much as the empty lies of our leaders. Our
economy will not be producing anything anyone would consider worth
buying. The era where America was a dominant force in world events is
over. The days of decent medical care for anyone but an elite few are
drawing to a close. The age of individual automobile ownership are
numbered. Your 3000 square foot house will be impossible to heat or
cool. We might be lucky enough to afford to run a small refrigerator
and a few forty-watt light bulbs. Bye bye the Big Screen! Think you got
rid of those danged kids? In poor countries ten and fifteen people of
all generations live together in one small house to pool resources.
I
hope I'm crazy, but I dont think I am. All these bad ideas have been
kicking around for decades. When libs would stand up and propose most
of the things that are on their way to become law in the next few
months audio tapes would get played on Talk Radio so we could all have
a good chuckle at how loonie these left wing nuts were. Well, he who
laughs last. The joke is on us.
