By now you’ve probably all marveled at the physical dexterity of the Great Leader and Teacher, BO2, as he valiantly swatted down a malevolent fly in the middle of polishing his hagiography with a properly prostrate CNBC/New York Times reporter named John Harwood. It was an amazing feat of athleticism, as befits a second-string player on the Punahou basketball team, and one more example of the mythological status BHO II has achieved in a mere five months. Is there anything he can’t do, except maybe charm Benjamin Netanyahu out of Jerusalem?
Still, I’m a little nervous about this fly stuff because, as any reader of the Brothers Grimm knows, whenever flies show up in the story, trouble is sure to follow. It doesn’t take a Bruno Bettelheim or a Joseph Campbell (not that I’ve ever read either one of them) to see the omen here. First, Sonia Sotomayor breaks her ankle rushing to her Obama-commanded Supreme Court confirmation, and then Hillary Clinton breaks her elbow, probably on Bill’s jaw; the next thing you know, Obama himself will break the stock market, the housing market, the financial system, General Motors, the health-care system, the U.S. military, and the Republican party. Seven with one blow!
You all remember the Valiant Little Tailor, who swatted seven flies at once and went on to parlay that feat into a fearsome reputation as a man-killer. There he was, minding his own business, trying to finish his waffle, when the pesky creatures landed on his jam. Big mistake! PETA or no PETA, down they went. The Little Tailor was so proud of his feat that he fashioned a belt that read, “Yes, we can,” or something like that, and set off into the big wide world to seek his fortune.

I guess no one finds this funny.
I like his satire, but nobody is going to find it in chat. It should be posted in News/Activism. It's commentary so check off for editorial.
