Instead of the Bus, Try the Balloon

So one of Obama’s staff likes Chairman Mao. I guess that’s not too surprising, but Obama does seem to attract a lot of fringe radicals. It’s got to be tiresome for him to throw all of them under the bus. Still, recent news gave me a good idea for him. He could just have this big balloon take off from the White House lawn and scream, “Oh no! That balloon has taken off while my Communications Director was playing inside! Aieeee! It’s crashed into a mountain! I guess she’s dead now; it would be bad taste to play things she’s said on the Glenn Beck Show.”

That’s how you get ‘er done.

Why People Hate Barack Obama?

“I have to say, why people hate you? And, and, why, you, they ‘posed to love you, and God is love, and…”

Since I am a people, I feel eminently qualified to answer this question.

Please note that I’m speaking strictly for myself, since other, equally-qualified people of peopleness may have differing reasons for hating the player instead of the game.


* He has big, flapping, sticky-out chimp ears, but I’m not allowed to CALL them “chimp” ears, because that’s [mocking, high-pitched voice] “raaaacist!

* For the same reason I hated Bill Clinton – he married a bitter, shrewish harridan who is unencumbered by even a tincture of fashion sense.

* His communications director can call Mao a “political philosopher” with a straight face.

* He said, regarding the boy asking the question, “I’m gonna let him use my special mike”. Didn’t his safe schools czar say that, too?

* I just can’t forgive Obama for saying that slavery had its merits. I mean, I understand he was speaking off the cuff and was just trying to make a larger point and everyone gaffes once in a while, but damn… there IS a line, dude.

* The constant televised speeches that pre-empt crappy network programs so that I have to listen to people who actually watch that garbage whine about how they couldn’t watch their shows. Read a book, people!

* He DIDN’T really caboose-check that Brazillian chick. Is he a freakin’ eunuch?

* He’d look completely awesome with an Evil Spock goatee, but he refuses to grow one.

* He wasted perfectly good sodium silicate in destroying the engines of Cash for Clunkers trade-ins, instead of using it for its correct purpose: Magic Rocks.

* He’s a f@#$ing socialist.


Since nobody else hates Obama, I don’t expect there will be any comments on this post, but if you want to hate me for being a hater, have at it.

P.S. I also hate the media outlets that decided to put a grammar-corrected version of the kid’s words in quotes instead of quoting what he ACTUALLY said (like *ahem* I did).

Why Do I Hate Obama?

A 4th grader asked Obama why people hate him, and it seemed a good question. It made me ask myself, “Why do I hate Obama?” Here’s what I came up with:

* He’s always playing his loud music late at night.

* He eats babies.

* He’s always mixing up “imply” and “infer”.

* There’s strong suspicion he’s a serial killer.

* His voice is kinda nasally.

* He doesn’t even try to hide his worship of Satan.

* He smothers his hot dog in ketchup.

* His favorite pastime is lighting orphanages on fire and laughing.

* He uses the wrong fork for his salad.

* He once tried to poison a reservoir with nerve toxin just to distract Batman.

* He’s a Democrat.

Random Thoughts

The only thing more hurtful to MeggieMac than fat jokes is not talking about her at all.

I think this balloon boy stunt was all just some scheme to distract Superman while some major crime went down.

Right now it’s looking like if Obama had put Ayers and Wright on his staff, that would make it more centrist.
