Clarice's Pieces: The Incredible Lightness of Obama

The American Thinker ^ | February 06, 2011 | Clarice Feldman

[Scanian]

This week saw a showdown between the man whose most significant achievement before 2008 was that he very nearly got the asbestos removed from the Altgeld Gardens tenements in Chicago and the third-longest-ruling head of Egypt since the Pharaoh Ramses, whose reign lasted 67 years. The Egyptian, an 82-year-old with terminal cancer, easily bested the community organizer, the man elected by people who quite clearly confused the last presidential election with an American idol contest. While many who elected the American president probably do not yet realize it, it is lucky for them that he lost the showdown, for had he not, the results would have created worldwide havoc and devastation.

The week marked the continuation of a popular and judicial revolt against the overweening and extralegal domestic power-grab by the Obama administration and ended with the president once again backing the wrong horse and trumpeting to the world how much more he favors our enemies than our allies. A little like Manuel Zelaya in Honduras before him, Hosni Mubarak outsmarted and outplayed the community organizer.

Meanwhile, the White House signaled that it intended to ignore the clear language of Judge Vinson's opinion and proceed with implementing ObamaCare. As of Friday afternoon, the government had not filed a motion to stay Judge Vinson's order nor an appeal of his order, and at least two states have telegraphed that they think that ObamaCare is dead in its tracks. Both Wisconsin's and Florida's attorneys general have instructed state agencies to cease work to implement it

Americans have become so shallow that something like Zero could get elected is sad.

Fifty years of teaching anti-American pabluum in schools coupled with a leftist media and entertainment industry have certainly had its effect.

I wonder if America can recover from this cancer?

“Americans have become so shallow that something like Zero could get elected is sad.”

Therein lies the real problem.

Cancel the SuperBowl or start closing McDonald’s and people might notice.

[SatinDoll]

I haven’t been to McDonald’s in about 28-years, and...what’s a SuperBowl?

(I have NEVER seen a football game; don’t care if I ever do.)

[Lessthantolerant]

I have come to believe that America is a crisis nation. Until we have a complete collapse of our economy we will not decide to turn this ship.

If Egypt spirals into chaos and a Caliphate grows in the region, with the closing of the canal, war in the middle east and Europe in darkness, the world economies may sputter to a halt, conversely allowing Americans to wake up and begin renewal.

Let us hope.

If you’re here on fr you are exempt ;-)

[SatinDoll]

One of the reasons I’ve been listening less and less to Rush Limbaugh is his fascination with football. I’m flat-out not interested.

That doesn’t mean I’m negative about the game; just not interested.

Same with McDonalds, and Coca-Cola, and all the other things that say “American” to the rest of the world. I don’t patronize or use the products.

Oh! I love a really great hamburger, but that doesn’t describe anything at McDonalds. And I like my hamburger accompanied by a very good glass of dry red wine, preferably from Oregon or Washington states.

Is there a cure for those who ignore elections, and who only see the candidates 2-dimensionally, and not who they really are? I think the cure is here; his name is Obama. But first the media must be freed from their zombie-group mind-think.

We must have a print, radio, and TV media that provides objective facts. It doesn’t truly exist at the present time.

Great stuff. Thanks for posting it.

You got that right, and see a preacher with the wrong woman for any reason and watch the tongues wag all across the nation.

The only thing that makes sense to me is that people are so stupid that they are willing to take the chance against all odds that there is a big rock candy mountain and it will come with the new world order that is implemented by Obama,s controllers.

I’m still trying to figure whether BHO is an android, a demon incarnate or a hologram projected by the World Masters.

That sounds like me, but i am sure i did not post it, i liked to play in sports when i went to school, but it never dawned on me to let the tax payers make a great star out of me so people would worship me as a God.

So i hate the dammed sport and most of the others because of the worship people has for it while our country is being destroyed.

Voters should be required to take a civics exam.

[Mrs. B.S. Roberts]

“Voters should be required to take a civics exam.”

I would like to add an economics exam! It never ceases to amaze me just how many people have NO clue how an economy works - or why ours isn’t working well right now!

[Vaduz]

We would have to teach them how to read first.

It can if the cancer is cut out and thrown in the dumpster

This 4 year spiral into Oprah land will leave a mark not easily scrubbed out, a wound not easily healed.
Fantasy has become confused with vision. The one lives in Hollywood, Disney, the MSM and progressive Universities. The other is the reward for a hard won struggle to gain enlightenment.

The really sad thing is that it wasn’t going to be much better if McCain had gotten the job.

[Aevery_Freeman]

And it would be nice if there where a test that could determine if they were true adherents to the concepts outlined in The Declaration of Independence.

As a teacher, I watch as children are taught Socialist thought in a socialist system by socialists all the while suckling at the teat of Freedom's bounty.

With him and his health, we always had the possibility of stroke and death and Sarah taking over.

Surely that had to be an improvement over Zero and Bite Me!

And someone might whisper in his ear that if you run around the world bowing deeply before foreign rulers and undermining your country's moral position and standing in the world, you cannot expect to have your imperious demands be taken seriously abroad.

Maybe a good time for a serious examination of what he was doing in Kenya as a United States senator, campaigning for a murderous thug ? Nah, not a chance.
