* Obama has started to use the Occupy Wall Street’s “99%” rhetoric in White House statements. Isn’t that great to know that president doesn’t stand for all Americans and is instead comfortable playing them against each other. And isn’t there just something a bit disturbing — maybe fascistic — about the president expressing solidarity with a violent, law-breaking mob? I’m not saying he’s going to start rounding up and executing the 1%… but Steve Jobs is already dead and who knows what the real story there.
Anyway, Obama should be more worried about 50% — a number he’s very unlikely to see vote for him in the next presidential election.
* BTW, in addition to Obama, the Nazis and Commies have joined up with OWS. Maybe they’ll help in giving OWS some more coherent demands.
Perhaps the 1% that OWS is screaming about is the Jewish population. Usually that’s rounded to 2%, but it doesn’t look like the group has a lot of math whizzes.
* Did we start another war over the weekend? Apparently, we’ve sent some troops to Uganda… just not very many of them. So now Obama hasn’t started less wars than Bush, he’s just started smaller ones.
Everyone seems to not like war, yet apparently he’s really hard to be president and not start new ones. I know I couldn’t do it. I mean, Canada is right there and filled with oil and ours for the taking!
* Apparently, Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan is sponsored by the new Sim City game, as it has a commercial tax, industrial tax, residential tax that the player can set and the default for all three is 9. I wish more liberals would play Sim City so they could at least first see in a virtual world what happens if you just raise taxes every time you want more revenue. In Sim City, eventually people leave your city if your taxes are too high and you ended up with stilted growth and less revenue. A great video game lesson. Also, it’s fun to have Godzilla attack your city.
* On MSNBC, Ed Schultz said that Herman Cain is using rhetoric to appeal to anti-black racists. I can see one minor flaw in that argument.
See, I told you that nothing — NOTHING — can stop the left from using the racist argument because that is absolutely all they have. Of course, it makes them look so dumb you kind of wonder if MSNBC hosts should wear helmets to keep from hurting themselves.
Interestingly, Schultz claimed that saying you were going to “break” someone is racist code language. So when Ivan Drago told Rocky that he must break him, it was actually a racist crack about Apollo. Extra subtext there.
Man, was Olbermann really the smart one?
* Obama is heading out on another bus tour. Because that’s the job of a president: To ride around on a bus and give completely useless speeches. Well, it is the absolute best Obama can do.
Obama is denying the trip is campaign related. Don’t you just love it how the president can casually lie to our faces like that as if we’re absolute morons. Of course, we Republicans can’t complain too much because we’re soon going to nominate Romney.

* Just in case you missed it, I had a column in the New York Post on Saturday. Also, my ebook, Obama: The Greatest President in the History of Everything, comes out November 15th. It will only be $1.99, so you’ll have no excuse not to buy it. It should be available for preorder soon on all the major book sites.
Isn’t it nice how I’m like a major writer yet I still make time to write blog post for you people? Still, my dream is to become a novelist, and I’m doing my best to eke out a little time to keep working on that. I’ve decided with my current novel project, I should get some people to read it and give high level opinions on it before I worry about doing the final editing. Don’t know if anyone would be interested in giving my SF novel a look, but anyone I send it to would have to be trusted. So probably not you guys. You creep me out sometimes.
