The Obaminator
No wonder the neo-McGovernites
are confused.
THE CURSE OF MEMORY. Ah. The irony. The man who won the Nobel Peace Prize before he'd been president even a few months has precious few accomplishments to brag about. Domestically, he's turned a recession into what looks to be an FDR-style generational depression. In foreign policy, he's concluded no peace treaties of any kind and has succeeded in pissing off such long-term allies as the U.K., Germany, and Israel.
So what's his claim to fame? He's managed to engineer the violent deaths of three leaders of the muslim world he kowtowed to in his apologetic "outreach" to Islam: Bin Laden, Awlaki, and Qaddafi. And some members of his own party are hopping mad about his kill order on Awlaki because he was an American and absolutely in line with the Democrats on matters of foreign policy. How could Hating America First be a killing offense?
It wouldn't be so funny if he had any other foreign policy successes. But he doesn't. Just last week, the Germans told him to piss off and mess out of the E.U.'s ongoing financial meltdown. "Like we need your advice, Mr. Deficit...) And we understand the Mexicans are very understanding about the Fast & Furious program that killed one Border Patrol agent and 200 Mexicans. Although the Iranians do appreciate the fact that his sanctions against an intended act of war on U.S. soil amount to holding their man-purse in the teacher's drawer until the end of the day's classes.
But with all the sixties nostalgia that's going on, we can't help thinking of the old chant outside the Johnson White House: ""Hey, hey, LBJ! How many kids did you kill today?"
Hey, hey, BHO! How many hits are still to go?
No wonder the Republican party leadership is too nervous to point out that the jobs bill is exclusively about government jobs. I mean, drones work just as well over the Maryland suburbs as they do over Afghanistan.
We won't know for sure until he announces that his 2012 campaign slogan is, "I'll be back."
With a pronunciation of the letter "a" that matches his pronunciation of "Pakistan."
