"In Recognition of his hoped for achievements" or ... "The Three Monkey's Presidency."

(C. Brooks Nielsen sent along the first part, and as usual, I take it "over the cliff" to finish up - Editor)


I still think the best thing a fella can do for himself is keep his ear to the ground.

. . . just saying . . . with the help of a mix of other people's wise metaphors:

I'm beginning to see the light, and I think we're far enough through the tunnel, now, to know it's not a train coming the other way.

There truly are none so blind as those who will not see, but fortunately there are many, now, who are eager for the truth of things.  And, it's much easier now that just about everybody is in survival mode - each to his own, doing his own thing so obviously that the wheat is separating from the chaff:

Congress is obsessed with reaping the benefits of its majority before the cows come home.

Obama is horrified by the cow bells ringing in his ears.

The cows are bellowing, "Hey, what is it you guys don't get? Political correctness just got 13 soldiers killed on their own soil!"

I keep having to remind myself, "Of course, it's all about the money, stupid."  But I also take heart in knowing the smart money's always on the kids!  After all, the kids are the ones who pointed out the problem and the George Soros Chicago Mafia is no longer untouchable.   Why, because FOX is making hay on the news.

This train is bound for glory!

You think maybe not? Hear the whistle blowing way back down the track:

War on Fox News Reveals Obama’s Failings

If there is anything more bizarre than the decision to award President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, it was his administration’s decision to wage war on Fox News.
The Obama administration has been warning cable networks not to follow up on Fox News stories, which have included an exposé of ACORN and the radical backgrounds of some Obama appointees, and even attempted to exclude Fox from network pool coverage.
In doing so, Obama and his aides revealed in one stroke the most telling weaknesses of his administration:

Obama is a whiner. At almost every chance he gets, the president whines about the previous administration and how it is responsible for every problem he faces. He neglects to point out that in the examples he cites — as with deficit spending — he has made the problems worse.

Obama is fixated on spin rather than substance. Why else would he and his aides become so agitated about what a network is reporting? Obama’s decision to outsource drafting of healthcare legislation to Congress shows his lack of interest in performing the basic functions of his job.

Obama is ineffective. The spectacle of refusing to let Fox participate in a pool filming, then backing down when the other networks objected, shows that Obama is over his head. That same ineffectiveness prompted him to announce the closing of the prison camp at Guantánamo Bay without having any idea where he would send its prisoners.

Obama has no appreciation for the profit motive and its importance in America’s success. In warning networks not to follow Fox, Obama adviser David Axelrod said, “Mr. [Rupert] Murdoch has a talent for making money, and I understand that their programming is geared toward making money.” Never mind that Obama is making millions in profits from book royalties. Obama appears blind to the fact that there is a reason Fox, which was started 13 years ago, now has more than three times more viewers between the prized ages of 25 and 54 than either CNN or MSNBC: Fox provides news and commentary that the other networks ignore.
If Obama and his aides actually watched Fox, they would see that its news coverage — as opposed to its commentary programs — really is fair and balanced. When controversial issues are discussed during news programming, guests from opposing sides are invited on.
If Obama understood the importance of the profit motive, he would have reduced taxes to help small businesses so they could expand and hire more workers, instead of throwing money at government programs as part of the stimulus package. By pushing a public option and failing to include incentives to reduce healthcare costs, Obama demonstrates that same lack of appreciation for the profit motive and the entrepreneurial spirit that has made America great.

Obama is weak. The press ganged up on the Bush administration, but Bush never tried to isolate a news outlet. By showing how thin-skinned he is, Obama reveals his fragility. That is symbolized by his constant need to apologize to the world for imagined failings and by his hand-wringing, while finding time to play golf, about making a decision on his own commander’s request last August for more troops to fight the war in Afghanistan.

Despite his claims during the campaign that he would bring people together, Obama is the most partisan president in recent memory. As one example, Obama and the Democrats have entirely shut out the Republican leadership from participation in drafting healthcare legislation that will affect one-sixth of the economy. The White House crusade for fairness works in one direction: against Republicans. Asked by Campbell Brown on CNN if Fox News is biased, Obama aide Valerie Jarrett said Tuesday evening, “Well, of course they’re biased. Of course they are.” But when Brown asked if MSNBC, whose Keith Olbermann recently accused Fox of being filled with racists, is biased, Jarrett did not answer the question.

Obama and his aides have a blatant disregard for the truth. They openly demonstrated that by saying that Fox is not a news organization, when anyone who has watched the network knows that it is. Criticizing Fox, Obama told NBC that if “media is operating, basically, as a talk radio format, then that’s one thing. And if it’s operating as a news outlet, that’s another.” In the same breath, despite his aides’ orchestrated attempts to isolate Fox, Obama pretended he is really unconcerned about Fox, saying he is not “losing sleep” over the issue.
Rather than being of no consequence, Obama’s outlandish attempt to muzzle Fox News and discourage others from picking up its stories vividly reveals Obama’s failings—and why he will prove to be a one-term president.

With every twist and turn in the warped saga that is the Obama Administration, I mutter to myself, "it can't, it just can't get weirder."  And every God - blessed day I awake to an ever stranger political climate.

I've been trying to figure out just who Mr. Obama IS ... y'know, in a sort of "Hey, remember back in school ..." sort of way. And y'know, I've pinned it down.

President Obama is that kid we all knew who'd come up at recess (after making faces behind the Teachers back to get you in trouble by laughing) and slug you in the back, then go and whine and cry to the Teacher when you hit him back, and get you sent to the Principles office.

President Obama is the guy who'd win Class President, then give you a "wedgie" in front of the "popular girls," ensuring your continued failure with them. If you ignored him, he'd call you a "chicken" and dance around you. If you slugged him, he'd whine & cry to the Instructor and get you sent to the Dean's Office. And all of the Counselors thought he was "a great guy," ensuring some prime-time in detention for you.

President Obama is the guy who laughed when you fell down or tripped, the guy with the chip on his shoulder that everyone else paid for, the guy who'd say anything to get what he wanted, then turn around and claim he never said "that," and if he had, he'd actually meant something else.

President Obama is that Boss you had who promised you a bonus if you made quota, then cut your hours so you never had a prayer.

President Obama is the guy who spent years soaking up every word in a madrassa ... Oh, excuse me ... Islam-oriented "secular" school in Indonesia, then came to study in the U.S. as a "foreign student," and eventually showed that the one lesson he'd learned was to cozy up (yup, that's a euphemism, all right!) to whoever flattered him and made him feel powerful. And all this time, what he learned as his most important lesson was to CMA, and never make a decision you're not forced to.

This explains his current reluctance to actually make a decision on a Health Care package, instead leaving it up to the Felons ... oops, 'scuse me, the Solons in the Congress to write his Bill for him (echoing, in a strangely twisted fashion Bill Cunningham's assertion that Bill Ayers wrote his books.)

And his  putting off for THREE MONTHS any decision in re: Afghanistan, and the pesky 'lil man-made disaster (Obamacode for 9/11) driven conflict his predecessor "incited" there.

It explains his first jumping to conclusions about how Cambridge, Mass. Cops are racists, and his exhortations for us not to do so when an admitted follower and open expositor of Radical Islamic ideals massacred his own "comrades in arms," an act which the murderer had apparently been taught was an accepted Koranic value.

As a person who has actually read the Koran (albeit an apparently flawed English translation) and has counted followers of Muhammad as friends, and had the privilege of asking them point-blank about such behavior, I can confidently confirm that most conscientious followers of Islam would consider the Major a "LOON."

And so, what we seem to have is a "yes-man," a malignant narcissist and racialist, who will say anything and do nothing (remember his Illinois "present" record?) to get whatever it is he thinks he (or his "handlers," buddies, idols, etc.) want.

He will assassinate the character of any opponent, and apparently feels confident to claim the righteousness of that tactic in his "own" writings. Anyone remember that golden oldie, "The White Man's Greed Fuels a World in Need!"??? (Clue: I didn't write that!) Add to that his slavering penchant for hanging around with Bullies & Tyrants, AND his constant hiring of their "admirers," and well, I'm done saying nice things about him.

And yes, dear Reader, we're stuck with him, the President who never met an indecision he didn't like. At least, that is, until we get a Congress that has the stones to impeach him, or at least require something with a greater level of veritas than a "rough outline," soon conveniently forgotten by the puppy-dog Press.

After all, if they don't soon receive Federal Funding, they might have to go and get real jobs.

This truly is the "3-Monkey's Presidency." (Well, maybe except for the one who had sense enough to watch his mouth.) And, if some ignoramus thinks that's a racial slur, Google it, dweeb.

 This is my opinion, and at last check, the First Amendment made it

as valid as the President's ongoing apologies for America. 'Nuff said!
