Reflections From a Murky Pond

Americans have had to hear a monotonous litany of “Blamestorming” spouting from the jabbering maw of President Obama for month after month, after month now. “Hope & Change” predictably devolved into “It’s Not My Fault” the moment things got difficult, which was on January 21, 2009, the day after his Inauguration.

The constant repetitions and variations on a theme of “It’s Bush’s fault” reached the point of absurdity long ago, and yet Obama, stereotypically unwilling to accept any responsibility for the circumstances he finds himself in, just keeps spewing forth the same tired screeds.

Apparently though Obama is no longer satisfied with the response he’s been getting to, “Blame Bush.” On his way out the door to yet another taxpayer funded vacation – his 9th since taking office – President Obama stopped to talk to his pet media representatives so that he could blame Congress for dismal state of the American employment market in the wake of Obama’s “Planned Economy.”

As the LA Times reported on Friday, Aug 20, 2010:

No questions allowed because the president didn’t want to explain why despite the administration’s announced Recovery Summer Program, the jobs numbers have started going backward again after 19 months of promises and $787 billion in alleged stimulation spending. Because, faced with the uncertainty of the economy and the certainty of new taxes after Nov. 2, employers are holding back on hiring.

According to the president, he’s been “adamant” with Congress for months now about a new jobs bill to help small businesses. Obama says this really good bill is stalled in the Senate, where so much administration legislation has been crammed through so effectively by Majority Leader Harry Reid.

It’s Bush’s fault; it’s Congress’ fault; it’s the GOP’s fault; it’s the American people’s fault; it’s anyone and everyone except for Obama’s fault, or so the Canon of Obama clearly states.

Obama, jabbering fool that he is, is lucky that Americans aren’t the evil bigots that he and the Liberals keep claiming that they are. If they were, he and his attacks wouldn’t enjoy the tolerance that has been shown so far. Instead, they would have been derided as nothing but another example of a Black blaming the White man for his own failings rather than Obama being man and accepting some level of personal responsibility.

Yes, if Americans were vile as Liberals are, there would be endless complaints being aired about Obama’s incessant “dog whistles” since blaming Bush, and Old White Guy and now Congress, famous for being a group of Old White Guys, fit the stereotype of the shiftless Black who refuses all responsibility for himself or his perennial failures perfectly.

Yeah, Obama is damn lucky that Americans, hard-working Americans, White Americans, who have been derided by him for clinging to their Gods and their guns, aren’t the racist pukes that he and his Liberals followers keep yammering that they are.

On the ever popular boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ Lucky Leo’s arcade, run by Thom “Tommy” Whalen, recently added a new target to their “Walkin Charlie” carnival game – President Obama whose effigy, joined the rogues gallery of targets rotating in the game.

Fairgoers Take Out Their Frustration On Obama And Others

Unsurprisingly this outraged Obama’s followers, the jabbering Black grievance mongers, and not of few other ne’er-do-wells that seem to have inordinate access to public forums.

But, of course, replacing the effigy of President Obama with ones of President Bush and Secretary of State Clinton – for a little while at least – was a perfectly acceptable solution; they’re both White after all and are for that reason among others seen as evil by the ethno-guiltist Obama cultists and other domestic enemies of America.

To be fair, Americans can’t really blame Mr. Whalen for making the change in targets. He did it Wednesday after a “visit” from the Secret Service and possibly at their “suggestion.” Folks on the Jersey Shore are fairly worldly and understand “Chicago style” suggestions after all and there was probably a certain fear of some of Obama’s constituency as well.

Obama’s Souljahs – Like Iran’s Basij With Dreadlocks

Since some of Obama’s supporters have no qualms about making their outrage “felt,” have the weaponry to do so, and the active protection of Obama’s Attorney General’s office to shield them from legal reprisals, I can understand Mr. Whalen’s capitulation. He does, after all, run a business that caters to families and children, both of which are classed as valid targets in Obama’s old hood of Roseland in Chicago’s South Side.

Of course I can remember things similar to this carnival game in the recent past, such as the plethora on flash games glorifying an actual assault upon President Bush by an Muslim terrorist sympathizer, Muntadar al-Zeidi.

One Of The Many Bush Shoe Throw Games

These were all seen as “good clean fun” and valid political satire and expression – and essentially they were, even though glorifying Islamic terrorism is to be frowned upon within human civilization.

Of course some Liberals weren’t satisfied with with fantasies of hitting President Bush with shoes. They preferred more graphic fun such as games in which the goal is to kill Bush in various graphic manners.

Again these were all seen as “good clean fun” and valid political satire and expression.

I admit that I don’t know if there were “live action” carnival games where people through shoes or other objects at an effigy of President Bush or where they shot at such effigies. Such things would not have been considered newsworthy by the Liberal MSM and not publicized, nor would the American people been outraged enough over such lampooning of a POTUS to make much an issue over it.

But that was then and things were perceived as being different.  Now we have America’s First Black President and he apparently needs to be dealt with differently and with far greater care for his “sensitivities” and for those of his followers. That’s a very sad thing that doesn’t bode well for the immediate future of America, but that is what happens when people base their voting upon candidate’s race instead of their ability.

One thing to recognize though in all its unpleasantness – even Obama’s own followers don’t these that he’s equal to the task of dealing with the unruly and tasteless side of our society as the forty-three “Old White Guys” who held the office before him had to do. They don’t believe – possibly rightly given Obama’s behavior – the content of his character is up to that challenge.

During President George W. Bush’s tenure as POTUS there were many Liberals who liked to deride him by calling him, “King George,” and were often found whining and gnashing their teeth over his “Imperial Presidency.” Those were doing so claimed that their issue was that President Bush was expanding the powers of the Presidency, largely through the profligate use of Executive Orders to bypass the will of Congress.

One is forced to wonder if any of these myrmidons of the Left will have enough courage of their convictions to complain about “King Barack” in the same or at least similar manner?

Now, even after paying for what we spent on my watch, we’ll still face the massive deficit we had when I took office.  More importantly, the cost of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will continue to skyrocket.  That’s why I’ve called for a bipartisan fiscal commission, modeled on a proposal by Republican Judd Gregg and Democrat Kent Conrad.  This can’t be one of those Washington gimmicks that lets us pretend we solved a problem.  The commission will have to provide a specific set of solutions by a certain deadline.

Now, yesterday, the Senate blocked a bill that would have created this commission.  So I’ll issue an executive order that will allow us to go forward, because I refuse to pass this problem on to another generation of Americans.

– King Barack Hussein Obama
2010 State Of The Union Address

On Tuesday, January 26, 2010, the US Senate declined to approve and pass a bill that President Obama wanted passed into law. His response was, on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 – the next day – to boldly and very publicly declare that he would defy and bypass the entirety of the Legislative branch of the US government and create his desired fiscal commission by Executive Order.

King Barack indeed! I guess he’s been listen the filth, Valerie Jarrett, too much and has decided to take power and rule.

If the Left actually had any principles, there would be outrage over this. There won’t be though since the Left has very few, if any, principles.
