Having tried on FDR’s hat, only to discover that it came down to the bridge of his nose, and Ronald Reagan’s suit, which proved to be too large in the chest, Obama is now going for the Truman gambit, barnstorming the country and bashing Republicans on his widely heralded “America Under the Bus” tour (Let’s see… “Give ‘em hell, Barry!”…M-e-h-h-h…)
What an amazing combination of contrasts this fellow is turning out to be. The incredible lightness of being Obama; no more genuine substance than a cloud of dandelion seeds. And yet, dealing out social and economic destruction with the power of a wrecking ball in a neighborhood of adobe shacks. Forget another term; I’m just hoping we all make it through this one.
Update: Obama said today (one can hear the wistfulness), “It used to be that everybody was sitting there watching Walter Cronkite, now everybody is on their own little blog or on their own separate news forum.” Yeah, isn’t it just too damn bad that we don’t have an avuncular old liberal like Cronkite giving us our daily bowl of propaganda sweetened with corn syrup to disguise the taste, and talking us into, among other things, losing wars and leaving millions of innocents to the tender mercies of totalitarian savages. Dick.

ReplyDeleteExcept for the massive crop of dandelions (social welfare programs) in your yard... to continue your metaphor.
Obama stinks. Works for me.
Following on Rebecca, a better analogy for Obama is that he's a massive fart: no genuine substance, much lighter, and it stinks.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope he's not one of those farts that lingers too long.
