Obama Girl 2012

Posted in 2012 Election, Humor on November 15th, 2011

Obama got a lot buzz, and not a little boost in the polls, from Obama Girl back in the 2008 elections. Sadly for him, Amber Lee Ettinger aka Obama Girl, fell out of love with Obama after he became POTUS and failed to address the issues she cared most about – the economy and jobs.

“I know he’s getting a lot of flak for things that he’s not doing,” she told The Post. “In my opinion, I feel like he should be focusing a lot more on jobs and the economy.”

So with the unlikelihood of Obama Girl’s return for the culmination of Obama’s 4 year-long at that point reelection bid, Obama’s handlers will have to adjust things much as they did with his wealth distribution platform.

Early mock-ups seem to indicate that Team Obama is going for a “gritty reboot” of the Obama Girl franchise and hoping to tie more closely into the Occupy Wall St. “movement.”

The Once & Future Obama

Posted in 2008 Election, 2012 Election, Humor on November 8th, 2011

Back in the lead up to the 2008 elections Obama was all about spreading the wealth. Amid the plethora of not-quite-promises that Obama jabbered during that campaign, that one message was said clearly and openly. Spread the wealth. And this bit of Socialist rhetoric helped carry him into the White House.

Campaign Obama – 2008 v. 2012

Once installed in office, Obama had to start his reelection campaign – after all, keeping his job as long as possible is always Job #1. This presented a problem for the Campaigner-in-Chief; how do you redistribute wealth, after you’ve gone to such great lengths to convince your followers that it’s a declining and failing resource?

Fortunately for Obama, his handlers were up to the challenge. They managed to shift their boy’s message from, “Make Them Pay” to “Make Them Hurt Too” – and spreading poverty is so much easier than spreading wealth anyway. ;-)

US DOJ: Black Power

Posted in Politics, Society on May 30th, 2009

US Attorney General Eric HolderDuring the 2008 Presidential Election armed and unformed operatives of the hate group, The New Black Panther Party,deployed themselves outside of at least polling place in order to intimidate White voters. This was a clear case of overt and thuggish voter intimidation and directly violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by scaring would-be voters with the weapon, racial epithets and military-style uniforms.

The thugs were escorted away by the police and later a civil suit was brought against them.

Of course, the quasi-terrorist thugs involved – New Black Panther Chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz, Minister King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson – refused to appear in court to answer the accusations over a near-five month period, court records said.  Therefor the court rendered a default judgment against the vermin on April 20.

Sadly for actual Americans, political appointees by President Obama, our First Black President, who report to Attorney General Eric Holder, our First Black US Attorney General, ordered the career Justice Dept. lawyers to reverse their decision and drop the already won case without sanctions against the Black Power extremists.

A Justice Department spokesman on Thursday confirmed that the agency had dropped the case, dismissing two of the men from the lawsuit with no penalty and winning an order against the third man that simply prohibits him from bringing a weapon to a polling place in future elections.

Apparently, under President Obama and A.G. Holder, the “change we can expect” is a complete change in the meaning of “under Color of Law” – at least when it comes to who is allowed to vote in safety.
