Reflections From a Murky Pond

There a only a few things that we mortals can count upon: death, taxes, and that Bill Clinton was, is, and always will be a dawg. What we might not be able to count upon is that the afterlife is as perfectly ordered and efficient in processing arriving souls on to their final rewards or punishments as we’ve been told that it is.

This could cause some issues…

President Clinton and the Pope died on the same day, and due to an administrative foul up, Clinton was sent to heaven and the Pope was sent to hell.

The Pope explained the situation to the devil, who checked out all of the paperwork, and the error was acknowledged. The Pope was told, however, that it would take about 24 hours to fix the problem and correct the error.

The next day, the Pope was called in and the devil said his good-bye as he went off to heaven.

On his way up, he met Clinton who was on his way down, and they stop to chat.

Pope:  Sorry about the mix up.

President  Clinton: No problem.

Pope:  Well, I’m really excited about going to heaven.

President Clinton:  Why’s that?

Pope:  All my life I’ve wanted to meet the Virgin Mary.

President Clinton:  You’re a day late.

That’s Ol’ Billy Clinton. He’s always been a good ol’ boy, ever ready to use his Arkansas toothpick.

Bill! You Are Sooooo Going To Hell!

Yeah, yeah – I know. Somebody’s going to be offended by this one. Christians, especially Catholics, think of jokes about the Virgin Mary as being even more blasphemous than those about Jesus Christ or God.

There has been grumblings from within the Beltway for some time but the last couple of weeks leading up to the 2010 Congressional Mid-term Elections saw a sharp increase in behind the scenes rancor between Congressional Democrats and President Obama’s White House, and some dissension within the Congressional Democrats themselves.

Is the the Blues’ house divided in the wake of their trouncing by the GOP on November 2, 2010? There are some indication that this so and some hints that the surviving Dems are separating into two camps – the Clinton Democrats and the Obama Democrats.

Internecine War Afoot Soon? Clinton Dems v. Obama Dems?

Word on the street (K Street) and scuttlebutt at the Capital Grille is that there might be a Primary Challenge against Obama. Some of those rumors point to a sudden increase in communications between Secretary of State Clinton and outgoing House Speaker Pelosi as the basis for substantiating this idea.

No, none of this has any online sources. It is a mixture of rumor, hearsay, extrapolation upon past and present behaviors by the principals involved, and some basic sociodynamics.

Take it for what it’s worth and no more, but also no less. I did break / predict Sen. McCain’s “choosing” Governor Sara Palin as his VP candidate and running mate a full week before the official announcement after all.

It might get even worse for President Obama than being challenged in the Democratic Primary. Obama is wounded and weak, politically speaking, and there are always scandals and such that could be used to bring him down. If the Dems are split as rumor claims, the Clinton Dems – possibly including Pelosi – might aid the GOP’s expected attacks against Obama and not even block Impeachment proceedings.

Think about it for a moment. Pelosi weakens Obama enough so that Clinton can beat him in a Primary Challenge, then Clinton nominates Pelosi as her VP candidate.

One thing to watch for is whether or not Pelosi resigns from the House entirely and, if so, how she goes about it. Another is what Hillary Clinton is doing and how she presents herself to foreign governments, as principal actor or as Obama’s puppet.

Is the the Blues’ house divided? I think we’ll pretty much know the answer to that by Christmas.

Over the limited span of President Obama’s political career he has often spoken of bipartisanship. Yet, time and time again in rapid succession, American have seen the fruits of what President Obama defines as bipartisanship.

Now President Obama will receive a small taste of true bipartisanship, with both Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) allied together and arrayed against the White House.

Over three-quarters of the US House of Representatives have signed a letter expressing dismay over President Obama’s ongoing hateful treatment of of America’s longtime and only true ally in the Middle-East, Israel.  327 Congressman put their names to the letter sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, tacitly rebuking President Obama and his Executive administration for their continued mistreatment of Israel.

The letter only circulated for three (3) days before getting the 327 signatures.

Sadly though, I doubt that President Obama will heed their complaints and advice. Even setting aside his overweening arrogance and narcissism, he’s for too steeped in antisemitism to be anything other than an enemy to Israel and the Jewish people.

He was sired by African Muslim, adopted by an Indonesian Muslim, spent much of his formative years in a Muslim country, and later spent 20+ years soaking in antisemitism, along with other antisocial and anti-American psychopathologies, at the hateful knee of “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright. It would be foolish and irresponsible for anyone to expect President Obama to be anything other than an anti-Semite; you can’t spend that long being indoctrinated without some of it rubbing off on you.

Well, on the somewhat slightly brighter side, at least the US House of Representatives found something that they could largely agree with each other about. It’s sad though that President Obama can only seem to bring people together in opposition to himself and his agenda.
