The pathetic marxist-muslim African-African president honors those murdered at Ft. Hood memorial service. (A crotch salute)
One reason it's so annoying is that it takes so little exaggeration to create these articles.
I mean, you start reading a piece like this, and at some point you say to yourself "this must be a joke" and then you check the source and realize that it is a joke.
The problem is, sometimes when you check the source, expecting a joke, you realize that it is actually a serious story.
And tragically, given what we know about the sentiments of 0bama and his socialist/corporatist ilk, even the parodies are so on-target that they might as well be real. They still ring true.
I do find myself hoping that someone like Gingrich or Santorum might make some headway in the GOP race. Maybe Newt's "baggage" should be overlooked in the interest of the Republic. Maybe Santorum will gain some traction.
The only thing I know for sure is that I favor Herman Cain at the moment, and I utterly reject the hand-wringing notion that Cain is not qualified for the Presidency simply because he's not a career politician. To my reasoning, that's a plus.
I'm also starting to see some distinct signs of CDS (Cain derangement syndrome) from the Establishment candidate crowd around here.
But I digress...

John, had me going there for a minute!
Obama would like you for a speech writer, you say
all the things he wants to say.
That’s a real headshaker John. Good work. Thanks for the ping.
Not too much need to be “creative”. This guy thinks we pay his way to play golf and take his family on vacation. Isn’t that the job description for the “Occupier in Chief.”
too close to the truth for comfort LOL
Google: Cloward-Piven strategy
Heard this on C2C a little while ago. Your getting big time
now. That’s dangerous. Once again your, too good at this.
I’m wising up. I checked the source almost immediately. My blood pressure returned to normal.
And it is sad that this president has jumped the shark in so many ways that our gut response is to believe this satire at first.
I love the description of the TEA partiers. Nicely done.
“I mean, the biggest infringement on a person’s freedom is usually the hours he has to work to put food on the table and a roof over his head. If government were to ensure that these needs would be met a new era in human liberty could be reached.”
My wife and I were just discussing that this morning. I’m building a large shed on our property and spent all weekend on it. I told my wife I could finish it up in a couple more days if this pesky job didn’t take so much of my time.
I’m voting for Obama so I can have more liberty to build sheds, or go fishin’ or even play video games. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Would all y’all work harder so’s I can do that?

Here’s a quick look into the three former Fannie Mae executives who brought down Wall Street.
Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities. At the time of his departure the Wall Street Journal noted, “ Raines who long defended the company’s accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn’t proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that “mistakes were made” and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised. News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company’s books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.” Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion.
Raines left with a “golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/ . The Government noted, “The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public. The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.” These charges were made in 2006. The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the miss-stated Fannie Mae profits. Net windfall . . . $190 million!
Tim Howard - Was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard “was a strong internal proponent of accounting strategies that would ensure a “stable pattern of earnings” at Fannie.In everyday English - he was cooking the books. The Government Investigation determined that, “Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae,”
On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant’s income statement to achieve management pay bonuses. Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998earnings to trigger bonuses Raines and Howard resigned under pressurein late 2004. Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!
Jim Johnson - A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. A look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you’ll see some interesting things about Johnson. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when in fact it was $21 million.” Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illega loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
FRANKLIN RAINES? Raines works for the Obama Campaign as his Chief Economic Advisor.
TIM HOWARD? Howard is a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama under Franklin Raines.
JIM JOHNSON? Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Search Committee.
IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS - HIS ADVISORS CERTAINLY HAVE THE EXPERTISE - THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New Wall Street back up ? I don’t think so ! ! !
Is it still considered satire when it is SO close to something the 'target' might actually say?
Every week it gets more and more difficult to generate truly 'over-the-top' satirical statements about those people, doesn't it Mr. Semmens?
