Obama shark jump watch: deconstructing the pretend Presidential seal

What else can be said about BHO's mock up of the Presidential seal at a conference with Democratic Governors? Since he is one of two major contenders for President one wants to look out across the landscape and find reasons to believe he is NOT a megalomaniac sociopath - and yet his campaign keeps telegraphing that he is - and they are on board. Like the "mission accomplished" banner behind Bush low those many years ago the image of Obama behind a pretend Presidential seal is so obnoxious it bends the mind. The man does not even have his party's nomination yet - that is still over 2 months off. One has to wonder what the state chief executives in the audience thought of this paper mache "seal". Even the most ardent Pro Obama Governors had to have a had a moment of "jeez, at least I've done something in my career." Obama is a prime example of the something for nothing society that we live in. Give me the job now. Emphasis on the word give.

So what were they thinking?

This "seal" was discussed in an Obama campaign meeting. Designing a seal as a rip off the Presidential Seal was approved. Further is was decided that it would be used at a meeting of actual chief executives - this is the job title Obama wants, but has never had.

One can easily conclude that the seal is meant to give the Governors a shove backward. What the fake seal says is: "Look, I know most of you in the room have accomplished more and are more qualified than me for the job I want. But I am the leader here, so don't push it."

As Patsy Stone, the glamorous drunk on BBC's Absolutely Fabulous, said whenever confronted: "Don't Question Me!" Or better, South Park's Cartman: "Respect my Autthori-tah!" - deliciously barked by an 8 year old who has no authority.

If the stakes weren't so high the whole Obama event would be interpreted as a joke. Or a silly play the neighborhood kids were putting on in a barn.

Since Obama choked on FISA yesterday my fear of him has lessened a small amount. (Not because I agree with his flip flop, I adamantly do NOT.) This could be foolish of me. Afterall, Obama has no track record and his history is pock marked with radicals and idiots. Nevertheless, what Obama told us by voting for the FISA bill is simple enough: There will be no real change. Those who run the show behind the scenes will continue unabated by me. I want to win, principles be damned. A few of those who feed at the trough will be switched out for others. But the trough will remain in place.

I'll take a new face at the head of the same old system for four more years over the studied psychosis of Black Liberation Theology and dime store socialism any day.

Still, what are we to make of this latest stunt with the Presidential seal? The mental atmospherics that went into Obama's willingness to affix the pretend seal to himself are disturbing. The analogies connecting the happily arrogant W. Bush and the petulant Obama are strengthened every day. But the seal stunt puts Obama in a league of his own. One cannot imagine W in 2000, or his father in 1988 being quite as arrogant and tacky.

Obama gives Senator Clinton the finger - literally

Hope and change have gone out the window for Obama and, since he got his ass kicked in last night's debate, he decided to get vengeance by flipping off the Principal at his high school graduation. Clearly, the other kids love it. He is an appalling embarrassment. Listen to the crowd react when he gives Hillary the finger and you will know how dangerous the Obama mob is. He starts with "hope" but he can turn them ugly in an instant. They are dangerous. I have been saying it for weeks.

And yes, he gave her the finger. Only the Obama mob and other idiots will make excuses for this brazen, arrogant, cocky behavior. He is a punk and he must be stopped.

Hillary, level him.
