Isn’t it funny how reality is even more absurd than the most absurd parody?
Barack Obama made a Buzz Feed video which features him mugging in front of a mirror,
drawing pictures of Michelle,
and taking endless selfies with a “selfie stick.”
Meanwhile, Yemen has fallen to Iranian-backed terrorists, ISIS is moving on Afghanistan, Iraq is in turmoil, and Libya has spiraled down into chaos.
How do you parody an asshat like President Selfie Stick who seems to spend so much time in self-parody?
We do not have a President and Commander-in-Chief.
We have a self-absorbed, narcissistic celebrity wannabe who is far more comfortable on the cover of Tiger Beat than he would be sitting in the Situation Room.
It doesn’t make him look “cool” or “hip.”
It makes him look like precisely what he is — a lightweight fool who is, as Lt. Col. Oliver North once said, “in so far over his head you can’t find him with sonar.”
The Congressional Black Caucus whines that Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to a joint session of Congress is an “affront” to this President.
Tell me. How do you manage to be an affront to a man who prances around taking pictures of himself with a selfie stick? How do you offend a guy who mugs in front of a mirror like a thirteen-year-old girl?
I think the only thing that would be an affront to President Selfie Stick is not inviting him to Susie’s slumber party. Which would be like, so not fair!! I mean, it’s, like, totally rude not to, like, invite Barack when he would totally be into braiding hair, snapping selfies and dancing to the latest Beyonce song just like all the other girls!!!
While Netanyahu is trying to protect the people he was elected to lead, President Selfie Stick mugs in front of a mirror and behaves like an imbecile.
Seriously. How do you offend a man who himself is so completely offensive?
The way President Selfie Stick carries on in front of the camera, you would think America was enjoying a period of peace, prosperity and growth. The world was safe from Islamic jihadists, and Russia was safely out of the Ukraine.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
President Selfie Stick diddles with a camera as if nothing is going on outside of his hermetically-sealed “Boy in a Bubble” White House.
While our enemies draw up plans to destroy us, President Selfie Stick is drawing pictures of Michelle.
While our enemies behead American citizens, President Selfie Stick parades in front of the camera like he hasn’t a care in the world.
And perhaps he doesn’t have a care in the world.
After all. If you didn’t have a problem with the Islamic Caliphate, wouldn’t you too find it easy to behave like a big girl drawing pictures in a sketchpad while ISIS rolls along?
Nero fiddled.
President Selfie Stick doodles.
So, this is what Strategic Patience looks like? Cavorting in the White House snapping selfies and making faces in a mirror?
Really?
Meanwhile, in Libya, ISIS marched 21 Coptic Christians to the beach and beheaded them as revenge against “Muslims persecuted in Egypt.” [hat tip the Right Scoop}
You see. ISIS is on the side of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
Funny. So is President Selfie Stick.
And in Iraq, ISIS has reportedly taken a town very close to a base where US Marines are located. [hat tip Fox News]
And there’s President Selfie Stick striking a pose in the mirror like a bubble-headed junior high school girl.
Honestly. How do you parody a walking, talking parody?
If we can’t take President Selfie Stick seriously, is it any wonder our enemies don’t either?
If the world were safe, if Americans living in freedom and liberty, if our economy were booming, perhaps we would all roll our eyes at the silliness of it all and move on with our day.
But the United States of America is on the brink of war. Our economy on the brink of collapse — under the weight of unsustainable debt, under the weight of unfunded liabilities and financial manipulations by the Fed.
This nation, the entire world, has not been in such great danger in more than a generation.
And sadly for America and our allies, the Leader of Free World has been downsized.
To a ludicrous, prancing lightweight and his selfie stick.
