What Obama Really Meant

Last night all of us were treated to Obama’s first news conference as our president. While most of the media is calling it a success I am puking up my cheerios.
As usual, he performed quite well while reading his teleprompters. He showed his inexperience and inability to stay on point when he began taking questions from the so-called press. A few of the questions came from actual journalists while others came from bloggers and columnists. This was the first press conference where those who are not a part of the White House Press Corps were allowed. However, in case you missed it The Washington Post’s Michael A. Fletcher asked the most pressing question that is on every American’s mind, “What do you think about the admission by baseball star Alex Rodriguez that he once used steroids?” Idiot.
Obama’s prepared statement was, thankfully, quite short. For those who are not fluent in ObamaSpeak, I have provided the short transcript of his statement with what he really meant in red italics.
OBAMA: Good evening, everybody. Please be seated. Hello my little pretties. Thank you for worshiping me.
Before I take your questions tonight, I’d like to speak briefly about the state of our economy and why I believe we need to put this recovery plan in motion as soon as possible. Before I take questions from my biggest fans like The Huffington Post and Helen Thomas, who really aren’t even journalists, I would like to manipulate you into blindness about my socialist package.

ObamaNation and the New World Order?

Back when I was in college; around the same time paper was invented, I studied conspiracy theories and the New World Order. I even wrote a thesis on the subject; most of which I have since forgotten. However, as I opened my newspaper this morning (ok, I turned on my computer but the visual isn’t as compelling) I felt a familiar pang in my gut.
The past two weeks have been filled with the stimulus bill and the ramming of every ludicrous liberal agenda item into it. Hardly noticed, except by the viligant, has been talks of reinstituting the Fairness Doctrine (aka., censorship); an unprecedented move by the White House to oversee the 2010 census (congressional districts are determined by the census); and now I am reading the NSC is undergoing a sweeping overhaul “expanding its membership and increasing its authority to set strategy across a wide spectrum of international and domestic issues.”
I don’t know if I should be afraid or if I should go into counseling for paranoia. But, I do know that my gut is telling me something hinkey is going on. Our government is on track to expand it’s reach into our businesses, homes, lives, and yes even thoughts in a way never before seen in our nation’s history. For the past 8 years I have been afraid of terrorists and the possibility of another attack on our soil. Today, I am afraid of our government and its ongoing attack on us. Or, maybe I should add some Bailey’s to my coffee and just chill.

The Fierce Urgency of Pork
Friday, February 6, 2009
“A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe.” – President Obama, Feb. 4.
Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared “we have chosen hope over fear.” Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.
And so much for the promise to banish the money changers and influence peddlers from the temple. An ostentatious executive order banning lobbyists was immediately followed by the nomination of at least a dozen current or former lobbyists to high position. Followed by a Treasury secretary who allegedly couldn’t understand the payroll tax provisions in his 1040. Followed by Tom Daschle, who had to fall on his sword according to the new Washington rule that no Cabinet can have more than one tax delinquent. Read more
