Another dimension
Frank J had a post about alternate universes … and wondered if we could trade Obama to one.
Then, he mixed his metaphors … or his TV shows; the Star Trek reference turned into a Twilight Zone reference. I thought only I did stuff like that.
Still, he made an interesting proposition. And it got me to thinking.
What would happen if Barack Obama ended up in a Twilight Zone episode? Or, more to the point, which Twilight Zone
Here are some possibilities…
Time Enough At Last: At the end, Obama breaks his teleprompter.
The Howling Man: At the end, Obama gets locked up again on the monastery’s basement.
Twenty Two: This episode gets renamed “Forty Four.”
The Dummy: David Axelrod co-stars.
What You Need: This one will play out exactly the same way.
The Whole Truth: Yes, Obama is the Khrushchev character.
To Serve Man: Wait! This is actually happening. Let’s take this one back.

How about Nightmare at 20,000 Feet? Obama is the gremlin trying to crash the plane (a metaphor for America) but no one believes William Shatner (metaphor for smart people) about what he sees on the wing.

Hmm, I think it would be “He’s Alive”, starring Soros.
“Mr. Obama, we are immortal!”

I don’t know enough Twilight Zone episodes, but I think a
remake of “They Live” would be in order, a homeless drifter stumbles across a pair of sunglasses that reveal Obama to be Karl Marx .

I figure he’s the boy in It’s a Good Life.
We all have to pretend we’re happy or we’re called racists (sent into the cornfield, metaphorically speaking).

Oh, how I wish the Obama Presidency was a Twilight Zone episode! Then I could switch the channel, or turn the TV off, or smash the TV with a baseball bat and it would be over NOW! Sigh.

Somehow, the villains in both the Twilight Zone and Star Trek seem almost lovable compared to our present Kommissar in Chief.

Yeah, Son Of Bob. Darth Vader and The Romulans sounds like a band you’s see on Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood compared to our Commie-In-Charge.
By the way, I was over at Weasel Zippers and if you read Conde Nast Traveller DON’T DO IT! There is a puff piece in the latest issue on the Obama’s that will cause your head to explode and fill your head with visions on Conde Naste Traveller writers trampeled underfoot in a dinosaur stampede. You have been warned!

SERLING: Mr Barack Obama, who suffers from that most common affliction of liberals: the perverse disinclination to believe people can make their own choices in life. Tonight’s case study in unintended consequences – from The Twilight Zone. Duhduhduh duuuhhh…

“Escape Clause” – Man finds out his “free health care,” sold to him by the Devil, has a catch: he’ll never be able to retire because it’ll take an eternity’s worth of taxes to pay for it.
“The Hitch-Hiker” – In the end, the lady (played by Janeane Garofalo) figures out the hitch-hiker is the ghost of a tea partier she’d run over and with whom she must now spend the rest of eternity. (Sequel to episode possible if told from point of view of hitch-hiker: think The Illustrated Man with Garofalo as the disfigured Rod Steiger character….)
“A Most Unusual Camera” – After pictures from the camera predict the closing of their office, which had been engaged in unscrupulous actvities, the staffers find out it belongs to James O’Keefe.
“The Mirror” – Hey, we’ve got a set up for this one already!

which was the twilight zone episode where the whole family of degenerates are gathered by the patriarch, and forced to wear masks that show their vices, and at the end of the night, the masks become their faces? It would be nice if Obama’s face actually showed the power-hungry tax monster he really is.
Or, Eye of the Beholder … Obamacare is gonna make all surgeries turn out hideously!
