I have learned from my secret, and usually reliable, sources that the nefarious Rahm Emanuel has devised a sinister contingency plan to save the Democrat majority in both houses of Congress. The plan is named “Operation Albatross.” If the economy has not significantly improved within 30 days of the upcoming elections, and the polls continue to foreshadow massive loss of seats by the Democrats, President Obama plans to switch parties and become a Republican. It is thought that the high negative ratings Obama brings to the table will then work to insure a massive Republican defeat.
Part of this plot has already been put into action. Obama’s statement that “he is not an idealogue” was floated at the recent GOP retreat and was received by the media with little attention . Similarly, Obama has come forth with a budget “freeze” for many federal departments and programs, a typically Republican approach. Obama plans to make more "feints" to the center right politically. If necessary, Emanuel plans to have Obama actively campaign and endorse Republican candidates, such an endorsement sure to spell certain defeat for the candidates.
As detailed by my source, Emanuel revealed the plan at a senior Democrat strategy meeting in January following the unexpected election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Quoting now from my source, “Rahm told us this was the only way to keep the Republicans from recapturing a majority in the senate. He said as a practical matter, there would be little impact on the actual day to day running of the government. The President would be under no legal requirement to change the members of the cabinet, or make any other changes. Joe Biden would continue to vote as a Democrat should any deadlocks develop in the Senate.”
Emanuel went on to explain that the GOP could not make any legal objection to the change of party affiliation. When asked about individual Republican candidates refusing to permit Obama to campaign on their behalf, he reportedly said, “ Who gives a damn what they want! We have Air Force One and the President can go anywhere he damn well wants. F*ck ‘em! We'll make 'em an offer they can't refuse. It’s time to go to the mattresses! We’ll show up on their back steps and they’ll get an endorsement whether they want it or not! We’ll give ‘em the old cement overcoat treatment. Obama will be the cement Albatross we’ll hang around their necks!”
It is thought that after the election, the GOP will retaliate against Obama for the massive losses and provide the necessary rationale for a switch back to the Democrat party.
I’m fine as long as I keep my head down. Plenty of Armor Treet and sardines to survive on. Lots of aluminum foil to keep the place secure from the black helicopter guys. I have my guitar to play. Been meaning to read Ulysses for a while. I hear Rahm is “connected” if you know what I mean, and he will probably be highly ticked off that the plan has been brought out in the open.
parsy, who says these pickles ain’t half bad. . .
Uh, this is the same America that elected him in the first place. Thinkers would see right thru it, but what about the rest??? The GOP is always saying they are a “Big Tent.” And what party could reject the presidency for Heaven’s sake?? Oh no, Operation Albatross is brilliant in its simplicity and devastating in its potential.
The way I see it, the forum here at Free Republic has probably saved this foul, evil plan from being launched. We have saved America, and only those of here will probably ever know it.
parsy, who is feeling humbled just to have had a part in this
I can think of a few RINO’s that wish this was true.
I know Operation Albatross seems a little far out. That’s the beauty of it. It is like the Inchon invasion during Korean War. Who woulda ever thunk you could land troops there?
Imagine this. Imagine Obama going to Arizona and endorsing McCain. Don’t you think that would boost the heck out of whats-his-names’s campaign. Obama’s endorsement is the kiss of death. Rahm’s plan would have been this on a massive scale.
Obama believes he can talk his way out of anything so he would have the chutzpah to try it.
parsy, who dares to believe
Ok Parky, we’ll give you credit for exposing the fiendish plot.
Who would you like to have play you - Harrison Ford? Brad Pitt?
Obama can endorse McCain, I don’t care, McCain will lose no matter.
Definitely Brad Pitt. He played a great redneck in Kalifornia. I think he could handle my 1985 Dodge truck and look realistic. “Free Republic” would make a great name for a movie.
Who do we get to play Rahm Emanuel? Got to be somebody really good at portraying evil?
parsy, who will compose an original song for the movie score. . .
Oh, for sure we’ve got to get the guy who plays Freddy Kruger to play Rham.
Or maybe get James Carville. . .Perfect snake eyed looking demon type. I can just hear his cajun accent now. . .
Frinds, Upperashun Owlbuttruss is a gonna help us do the Lawds werk, heah.
or...
Durn them bunch of rapscallions over there at Freeee Ripubleck! I dun bin foiled agin!
parsy, who has to get to work on his autobiography
I seriously want some of the pickles you’ve got in your basement :-)
I withdraw my nomination of Parsifal to be the host of The Tonight Show.
campaignPete, who wishes he had a better sense of humor to enable him to deal with the pro-life “activists” in Connecticut.
Cabin Fever?
Thank you for exposing this diaboliical plot. This goes along with the rumor that Rebozo made an offer on Scott Brown’s pickup truck.
Oh parsy, why do you always bring a smile to my face.
Usually, the “satire” posts on FR are about as funny as paint drying.
This is actually not one of those.
But nobody believes me! Lookit what Palin said:
“NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Sarah Palin had some pointed advice to President Barack Obama on Saturday night: “Stop lecturing and start listening.”
In her keynote address to the inaugural national “tea party” convention, Palin opened by pointing to Sen. Scott Brown’s victory in a special election in Massachusetts for the seat that had been held by the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. She predicted a good year for conservative candidates, saying the policies of Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress will be short-lived.
She said that the Democratic loss showed that the nation was ready for another revolution and that “tea partiers” were part of it.”
She all but telling Obama he has to switch parties! OMG, this plot probably got busted out just in the nick of time! All he had to do was agree with her and WHAM! he’s a Republican.
parsy, who is pigging out on Armor Treet, mustard and pickle sandwiches...
“Please God Don’t Let It Happen! Obama will switch parties - to the Communist Party of America. Be Damned if he would join the Republican Party”
Then he’ll destroy the Communist Party. I could get behind this plan.
HEY!!! Save me some pickles (it’s gotta be the pickles)
I predicted this over a month ago. The Republican hack cry is ‘elect Republicans and fix them later”. So it makes perfect sense to take the White House by having O switch to republicans and fix him later.
Old homemade pickles can’t ferment can they? Maybe great granny pickled ‘em with some of her special herbs. . .
parsy, who come to think of it used to get the munchies after eating her chow-chow when he was kid way back in the 60’s. . .
