Obama-ness
68
I’m elated, no, overjoyed that Obama won the election. But the icing on the cake, and it keeps on spreading, is that his first hundred days confirms that he’s truly the man I envisioned for our country. And he’s no doubt the one to bring about changes our precious country is starving for. But it’s not the way you think. I didn’t vote for him.
In a round-about way I suppose I did, as Fox would have you believe, by casting my vote for a candidate that was low at the polls. Which is ok with me, I didn’t mind, my vote had two folds to it anyway,and part of my plan. There was a method to my madness, and for once I feel my vote actually meant something substantial - even though my candidate for the job didn’t win. But I’m still overjoyed. And I was also happy others voted as I did, now change, real change in the true sense of the word, is on the horizon.

The light at the end of the tunnel ....
.... that was scarcely more than a pin hole in prior elections and as far back as I can remember, now seems to be a little larger. My goal for our country suddenly seems more attainable. I’m beginning to hear the true steps of freedom in the darkness. It’s still very faint, but at least now, with President Obama at the helm, I’m beginning to hear the pitter-patter of feet on the deck.
The rustling of the eagle’s feathers ....
.... if you will. And the bird, to my delight, has begun to prune
it’s feathers and readying it’s self for battle and the long flight back home. The first
sounds that caught my ear and had added fuel to brighten the once faint beacon
our forefathers had lit, were the Tea-parties that have sprung up across
this great country, around tax time. Whatever the reason I couldn’t care, only that I wasn’t
alone in my discontentment. They were music to my ears and gave me further
reason to hang in there, and that my vote had worked.

You see; taken from the AA point of view ....
.... in that - 'a person usually doesn't get sober until they hit the bottom of the barrel,' this is what I base my premise on. Why I got my wish, and how I love to see our new president spend, spend, spend. Love to hear of his 'devil may care' attitude while the country falls apart. Love him pushing aside the logical answers for his own. Love the way he fell into the usual grove that his predecessors have. Now. I feel, we are beginning to scrape the bottom of the proverbial barrel. Soon we'll wake up and miss what liberties we had before we were so complaisant. And see that this is where we got to because we let government handle everything.

So, you mark my word, and this hub
I'm not sure when it will happen, but one thing is for certain; change is about us and we are on the road to recovery. And yes, I can only thank President Obama from the bottom of my heart for this; for waking the sleeping giant. With his help, soon we'll all be sober and we'll owe it to him - for all his Obama-ness.

Don
Rickles Roasts the Dems...
Hello,
dummies! Oh my God, look at you. Anyone else
hurt in the
accident?
Seriously, **Senator Reid**
has a face of a Saint - A
Saint Bernard.
Now I know why they call you the arithmetic man. You
add
partisanship, subtract pleasure, divide attention,
and
multiply ignorance.
Reid is so physically unimposing, he
makes Pee Wee
Herman look like Mr. T. And Reid's so dumb,
he makes
Speaker Pelosi look like an intellectual.
Nevada is
soooo screwed! If I were less polite, I'd say Reid makes
Kevin Federline look successful.
Speaking of the Speaker... **Nancy Pelosi,** hubba,
hubba! Hey baby, you must've been something before
electricity.
Seriously, the Speaker may look like an idiot
and talk
like an idiot but don't let that fool you. She
really
is an idiot.
Madame Speaker...
want to make twelve bucks the hard
way? Pelosi says she's
not partisan, but her
constituents call her Madame
Pelossilini.
**Charlie Rangel**...
still alive and still robbing the
taxpayers blind. What does
that make, six decades of
theft?
Rangel's
the only man with a rent-controlled mansion.
He's the guy
who writes our tax laws but forgot to pay
taxes on $75 grand
in rental income! So why isn't he the
Treasury Secretary?
Rangel runs more scams than a
Nigerian Banker.
**Barney Frank** - he's a better actor than Fred
Flintstone. Consider... he and Dodd caused the whole
financial meltdown and they're not only not serving time
with Bubba and Rodney, they're still heading up the
financial system!
Let's all admit it... Barney Frank
slobbers more than a
sheepdog on Novocain. How did this guy
get elected? Oh,
that's right... he's from Massachusetts . That's
the
state that elects Mr. Charisma, John Kerry -- man
of
the people!
You
know, if **Senator Dodd** were any more crooked, you
could
open wine bottles with him.
Here's a news flash, Dodd: when
your local newspaper
calls you a "lying weasel", it may be
time to retire.
Dodd's involved in more shady deals than the
Clintons .
Even Rangel looks up to him!
Press Secretary **Robert Gibbs**, I really respect
you...
especially given your upbringing. All you've
overcome... I
heard your birth certificate is an
apology from the condom
factory. I don't know what makes
you so dumb, but it really
works for you. Personally, I
don't think you're a fool, but
what's my opinion
compared to that of thousands of others?
As for **President Obama**, what can I
say? They say
President Obama's arrogant and aloof, but I
don't agree.
Now it's true when you enter the room, you have
to kiss
his ring. I don't mind, but he has it in his back
pocket.
His mind is open to new ideas -- so open that
ideas
simply pass through it.
Obama lies
so much, I was actually surprised to find out
his first name
really was Barack. Just don't ask about his middle name!
But
Obama was able to set a record... he actually lied more in
60 days
than **Bill Clinton**. (or the 'Busher.')
**FOR
THOSE THAT VOTED FOR "HOPE AND CHANGE"...**
**BEND OVER AND
PREPARE TO RECEIVE YOUR BOUNTY!**

I love the summary of Dr. Charles Krauthammer, it is as if everything I have or had been thinking about Obama was put into the perfect wordage harmoniously and intellectually. I am very leary of this president (sad to say) .. I never did like him. He is fictious, and is after an anti-American agenda.
Thank you for your comment. We have three more years of this, and maybe afterwords we'll learn ... but I don't think so. I have such a low regard for us lemmings ... we'll see, won't we?
Great Hub. My thoughts exactly. While I didn't vote for him and am totally opposed to his policies, I think that it was the best thing for this country that he won.
Obama's victory not only gave the Republicans a well deserved kick in the rear end, it has also given the nation a glimpse of the true cost of the left's agenda in both dollars and cents as well as the freedom we stand to lose.
I was quite upset to read in the Wall Street Journal a few days after the election an op ed piece by a couple of McCain's advisers saying that it was time the Republican party got real and accepted the fact that tax increases were inevitable. With McCain we would have had a continuation of the slow and steady expansion of the government that we experienced under President Bush. Like a slow growing cancer that goes undetected and untreated until it is too late, the politics preached by the liberal media of bi-partisian cooperation between Democrats and Republicans were slowly and steadily inching us toward socialism without most realizing it. President Obama did us a favor by trying to make the leap to socialism in 100 days thereby waking people up to the real costs and dangers of out of control big government.
Great Hub. Keep up the good work.
