“Big Brother” must have been informed by David Axelrod (Mr. Whipple after a night of drunken frivolity and a couple of days without a shower) that May Sweeps have started without receiving expressed written authorization from the Obambi Administration or its lawyers. How dare the networks not, at the very least, invite their future CEO to make a guest appearance on their highest rated shows during sweeps? The peasants must be reminded of the inevitability that is the Obama Nation so the telescreens may be filled with White House libiocy this Wednesday at 8 pm Eastern.

From Ms. Moraes’ column:

President Obama might take an additional $9 million to $10 million out of the purse of the broadcast TV industry when he stages another of his news conferences next week to talk about his efforts to bail out the banking and automotive industries.

In fairness, he’ll probably talk about heath care, Iraq and Bo, as well.

Obama’s camp is asking for the 8 p.m. hour this coming Wednesday. That date, not coincidentally, marks his 100th day in office. He is expected to use the news conference to take control of the inevitable 100-days-in-office news-cycle blather — first-100-days navel-gazing being a time-honored journalistic tradition.

The honesty on display in the portion of the column related to “Big Brother” and his intrusion (again) upon the prime time schedule may be enough to inspire Janet “The Linebacker” Napolitano to update her list of potential terrorists to include TV columnists.

“He is expected to use the news conference to take control of the inevitable 100-days-in-office news-cycle blather” … Obama must control the assessments of his performance if he is to control  everything else. It is as clear he needs a PR guy as a senior advisor as it is that Axelrod wasn’t hired based solely on his good looks. Face time in front of millions combined with the assistance of an accessory media will help the administration assure the FFT (Feckless Fifty Two percent) that we don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution.

Well-written words will be read to promote the general welfare, or rather, promote the proposed expansion of generational welfare because there is no provider that can compare with the government. We might hear how nationalizing industries while saying they are not being nationalized is the best way to grow an economy (or at least equalize the misery.) Perhaps the refusal to accept repayment of TARP funds will be explained (of course it is not about control, you right-wing extremists!) The technique of dazzling with dog stories may be employed to give “Big Brother” a human element.

The human needs of the electorate will be explained in a way that might garner the full support of MoveOn.org and other leftist entities, or as Obama calls them “the American people.” We all have a need for government issued credit cards or at the very least, credit cards controlled by the government, because unlike Senator Feinstein, credit card companies should not be in the business of making money! The need for the American people and illegal aliens to enjoy the failed healthcare rationing systems employed around the globe will be peddled with the slippery salesmanship that brought on the nation’s current crisis, The Obama Presidency.

Global wealth redistribution and appeasement might be addressed. We will be treated to a lesson in the fairness of harming U.S. industry in the name of the “climate change” scam while allowing industries in other nations to gain market-share by not suffering the same oppressive regulations. We might be informed that it is only right to charge American companies for the carbon they emit and send the money to dictators or third world countries so that they can “catch up” to the global lead pack.

The selective release of redacted memos might be trumpeted as a means to show good faith to our traditional enemies. After all, what better way to ingratiate ourselves with our enemies than to declare that we will bow to them, take whatever they unleash upon us, and of course, blame ourselves?

I wonder what “Big Brother” Barry will be selling in the Fall when sweeps time rolls around once again?

I suppose the benefit of the doubt can be given to a portion of the FFT. Certainly some just did not care to look beyond the fabricated image presented by Obama’s media fan club. This portion of of the FFT allows itself to be (mis)led around by the nose. This group will have unwittingly earned the unfortunate results of its electoral folly.

“What if” pondering:

I wonder what could have been if “Big Brother” Barry had not been effectively running unopposed in the general election. “What ifs” serve no purpose other than the necessary reminder of the tragic chain of events that culminated in what could be a catastrophe (at least for liberty.) What if Mike Huckabee, Charlie Crist, the RNC, and the ridiculous primary system hadn’t come together to ensure an Obama victory by allowing a John McCain nomination? Even worse, Obama was such a bad candidate that even John McCain stood a chance until the (convenient for Dems) economic crash occurred.

If “Big Brother” Barry has a mandate, it is courtesy of the portion of the FFT that did pay attention and knew what they were imposing upon this nation. They have spoken and their message is:

• Innocent life does not matter. Social justice is required for artificial victim groups not babies, which according to Barack “Born Alive, Let Them Die” Obama are punishment!
• “Spreading the wealth around” as applied by wealthy liberals using our money is perfectly acceptable.
• Terrorism is acceptable and a president’s history of terrorist association (Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn) is no cause for concern.
• Chicago politics will be good for the entire nation.
• A president need not have ever done anything other than run for office in order to be qualified… unless registering people to vote Democrat and writing multiple memoirs count as relevant experience. (I wonder if “Magnificent Me” is in the works or if it will be withheld until his two or more terms are up.)
• We want a president who believes The Constitution has a “blind spot” which he can take upon himself to fill with socialist programs and wealth redistribution.
• We will accept socialism in the name of fighting anthropogenic global warming… oh wait, we have been instructed that the buzz phrase is now “climate change” due to the cooling trend. Campaign omen flashback from Oregon speech:

“We can’t drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we’re living in the desert or we’re living in the tundra, and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world’s energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we’ll be fine. Don’t worry about us. That’s not leadership.”

• We were inspired by candidate Obama’s rare senate action of introducing his “Global Poverty Act” and even more inspired that he is willing to spread our wealth around the globe (….but won’t help his own poor relatives out of his own pocket.)

Yes, the electorate has spoken and this Tuesday a nation begins to pay for their expression of insanity.

Barack Obama’s incoming administration has begun to draw on the high-tech
organizational tools that helped get him elected to lay the groundwork
for an attempt to restructure the U.S. health-care system.

Former senator Thomas A. Daschle, Obama’s point person on health care, launched an effort to create political momentum yesterday in a conference call with 1,000 invited
supporters culled from 10,000 who had expressed interest in health
issues, promising it would be the first of many opportunities for
Americans to weigh in.

The health-care mobilization taking shape before Obama even takes office will include online videos, blogs and e-mail alerts as well as traditional public forums. Already, several
thousand people have posted comments on health on the Obama transition
Web site.

This article is thought provoking in its topic, if not in its content. My immediate thought was, “what other tools from the campaign could they apply to changing the health care system for the worse?”

Given the under-reported buzz about Barack Obama’s shyness with regard to proving his citizenship status and the faithful manner in which the main-stream media is protecting their leader by refusing to do their jobs, a question is raised. Is it possible that the (at very least) appearance of having something to hide on the citizenship issue can be carried over to inspire a cost control measure in the coming socialized health care system? An enormous amount of paperwork, charting, and record keeping could be eliminated by simply not identifying the patients. This identification avoidance would also serve as a nod to a group of illegal voters to whom the Obama campaign out-pandered John McCain, illegal aliens.

Obama’s on-line fund-raising system worked very well during his campaign. Some of this system might provide assistance in paying for what little care Daschle’s Council of Death (aka Federal Reserve-like board) approves.) The fund-raising system would mesh smoothly with the identification avoidance portion of the plan because Team Obama wasn’t concerned about real identities when it came to on-line donations. Recall Michelle Malkin’s piece alerting readers to a Newsmax story in October:

More than a week ago, a north Kansas City couple blew the whistle on credit card fraud benefiting the Obama campaign.

Investigative journalist Ken Timmerman has uncovered more:

What do Bart Simpson, Family Guy, Daffy Duck, King Kong, O.J. Simpson, and Raela Odinga have in common?

All are celebrities; and with the exception of Odinga and O.J.
Simpson, they also are fictional characters. And yet, all of them gave
money earlier this month to the campaign of Barack Obama, without any
apparent effort by the campaign to screen them out as suspect donors.

…The Obama campaign has turned a blind eye to the possibility of
donor fraud. Reportedly, during the heated primary battle with Hillary
Clinton, the Obama campaign “turned off” many of the security features
on its online donor page, allowing any person with a valid credit card
number to donate using any name or address.

If Obama and Daschle intend to savagely destroy the health care system “for the good of the people”, wouldn’t it be nice if some of the fraudulent and possibly foreign donors alleviated some of the taxpayer burden for the sub-par, rationed care we shall receive? Couldn’t that constitute (not to be confused with the Constitution, which “Big Brother” Barry finds fundamentally flawed) “change?”

When Czar Daschle’s Council of Death decides that a certain number of patients will not be allowed to receive a certain treatment (to treat is wasteful,) Barack Obama’s primary campaign staff, the main-stream media, will again be called into service to spin the decision and sell it to the public. The media could always fall back on campaign tactics in this situation, by inserting the “denial of treatment” in place of “Bill Ayers” thus making denial of treatment a mainstream and valuable asset to the community. Health care and politics have more in common than I originally thought. I suppose this is why the FFT (feckless fifty two percent) decided to hand our health care over to the noble politicians.

The Axis of Abortion, which battled hard to get the most pro-infanticide candidate in history elected to the highest office in the land, can also play a vital role in the new system. Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and Emily’s List can help control costs by continuing their efforts to prevent children from being born. Remember, a person not born can incur no health care costs! I wonder if the Obama Administration will be substituting Planned Parenthood gift certificates for income tax rebates to families claiming minors as dependents? Obamacare is about compassion, the greater good, and freedom of choice… as long as the choice is abortion.

I suppose ACORN can use its special talents to decrease long wait periods in the event that Team Obama decides not to refrain from identifying patients. ACORN might be able to register fictional characters and dead people for certain long wait period rationed procedures. This way, when an ACORN registered “patient” doesn’t show up for a scheduled procedure, perhaps someone that actually needs the procedure can take the slot without waiting weeks or months. This would be similar to being on stand-by and hoping to get on a fully booked flight thanks to a no-show.

I truly am inspired to hope… to hope none of my loved ones become ill and require Obamacare.

• Secretary Of Treasury – William “Cold Cash” Jefferson
• HUD Secretary – Tony Rezko (following presidential pardon)
• Health and Human Services – Kathleen Sebelius (Under Secretary – Michael Moore)
• Secretary of Peace (replacement for Defense) – Dennis Kucinich
• Secretary of State – George Clooney
• Homeland Security – Susan Sarandon

**Updated thanks to George’s reminder of a couple of Obammunist departments I missed (From Let Them Eat Cake):

• Department Of Climate Change – Al Gore (Under Sec. Sheryl “One Square” Crow)
• Department Of Service – Rod Blagojevich?

Back to education, which in addition to plotting and executing bombings, is Bill Ayers area of expertise. Of course we are not talking about the type of boring traditional education one might expect for his or her child. Ayers is an education reformer… or radical as Sol Stern wrote in The City Journal:

Chicago’s liberals have chosen to define deviancy down in Ayers’s case, and Obama can’t be blamed for that.

What he can be blamed for is not acknowledging that his neighbor has a political agenda that, if successful, would make it impossible to lift academic achievement for disadvantaged children. As I have shown elsewhere in City Journal, Ayers’s politics have hardly changed since his Weatherman days. He still boasts about working full-time to bring down American capitalism and imperialism. This time, however, he does it from his tenured perch as Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Instead of planting bombs in public buildings, Ayers now works to indoctrinate America’s future teachers in the revolutionary cause, urging them to pass on the lessons to their public school students.

“Teaching For Social Justice” sounds like a noble title for a book edited by a terrorist and his “education reforming” colleagues. It leads me to wonder if a Secretary of Education Ayers would work to remake the bulk of the nations public schools in the mold of Social Justice High School, an institution in Chicago on whose “About Us” web page includes:

Critical Knowledge:

To Our Students

• We will use math, science, english and history classes to equip our students with the analytical tools to investigate the injustices around us.
• Culture, ethnic identity and language will be valued and used for relevant learning.
• Social justice issues of race, equity, peace, gender, and the environment will help us address the real life needs that impact our kids and of our communities.
• We must also understand our youth, their struggles, their identity, the way they learn and their pain if we want them to be come powerful change agents of our society.

Barack Obama must share some of these teaching for social justice ideals, otherwise his being the former head of the board of Chicago Annenberg Challenge would not make sense. That is, unless a cynical aspiring politician simply thought this was the path of least resistance or expedience.

It is almost funny the way Barack Obama complains about “divisiveness.” This indoctrination in the name of “social justice” is divisive. In fact, like Obama’s healthcare plan (which will be reviewed in the coming days) this type of “education” appears focused on creating a victim mindset and highlighting perceived race, gender, and ethnic disparities.

I suppose if Barack Obama is the candidate of choice for noted “Team America: World Police” character, “Matt Damon,” he should be accepted by all… our future be damned.

Imagine how much easier life would be if you possessed the loose grasp on reality that would allow you to support Barack Obama. Imagine how simple your daily life would be if you cared only for yourself and viewed the rest of the world in terms of what it could give you. Imagine the liberating sense of being moral-free, as one might need to be in order to support Barack Obama. Imagine what a relief it would be to not care about the march toward an Orwellian vision of society as would be expedited by Barack Obama.

I’ve long thought that to be a liberal, one must be evil, stupid, or a combination of the two. The Obama candidacy and terrifying level of mindless support he enjoys serves to reinforce my original beliefs. Some poor souls actually believe that Obammunism would be a good thing for the common citizens of this nation. Some hope to enjoy power and control over the common citizens under Obammunism. Others don’t care enough to be informed.

Think about the mental state of the Obamoron that cheers when he “y’ohs” (his contraction of “you know”) about the tax breaks to the wealthy and the redistribution of “windfall profits” to “American families.” It must be nice to have such a narrow view of the horizon that one could support such a notion. A thinking person would realize that penalizing producers and employers will reduce production and employment. An Obamoron sees only that “evil” businesses are getting punished for success and gives no thought to anything more. A related source of relief would be to be so unencumbered by thought that one doesn’t see the ridiculous hypocrisy of bemoaning the profits of productive business and celebrating the profits of useless “entertainment” ventures (music, movies, and television.)

Think about the freedom enjoyed by the people that could be so clueless that they believe that only by increasing the size and scope of government can we be saved from today’s biggest problems, while ignoring the fact that the biggest of our problems are caused by overreaching government involvement. It must be comforting to look to the government to meet an increasing number of an individuals needs without regard for the snowballing effect of growing government control. Medicine would be best distributed by a benevolent government. Education would be better delivered by a “progressive” government. Wages would best be dictated by an all-knowing government. The weather would best be controlled by an all-powerful government.

I personally believe it would be fabulous to have a mind so dull that I could ignore Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Saul Alinsky, and ACORN. I would be relieved to have such a shallow conscience that I could disregard Barack Obama’s active role in blocking the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act” in The Illinois Senate.

I wish I could support Barack Obama… but I can’t. I am not capable of turning off my mind, ejecting my morals, and dulling my desire for liberty!

His ‘celebrity’ comes from an emotional identity with voters, not from ‘rock star’ hysteria.

Like all cliches, this one has some truth and a lot more gas. The last time the media carted out this theme was 40 years ago, when Robert Kennedy, running for president, attracted the same sort of frenzied adulation and also threatened to upset the political apple cart by assembling a coalition of the young, the disenfranchised and the well-educated. But for Obama and for Bobby, the characterization is insulting and

imprecise. It is insulting because it suggests that their devotees’ effusions are just a visceral reaction — the political equivalent of puppy love. And it is imprecise because Obama is — and Bobby was — more movie star than rock star, which is an analogy with a difference. Rock stars, with some glaring exceptions, typically whip up the crowd; the thrill tends to be short-lived. Movie stars, by contrast, tend to create a long-standing emotional identification with their audience. It’s a difference that may have a bearing on the outcome of this election as voters weigh the advantages of being a movie star against its disadvantages. Movie stardom can be confused with mere celebrity, which has connotations of insubstantiality.

Obama faces that obstacle too. It is the downside of being a star. What this election may finally come down to is a choice between politics and movie stardom, between the safety of what we think we know and the expansiveness of what we dream, or, in more prosaic terms, between good old John Wayne and the less predictable but more exciting Will Smith. In any case, rock stars need not apply.

The biggest of these celebrity libiots (measured in pounds) would have to be father of the year candidate Alec Baldwin. Alec took a few moments away from calling his daughter a pig to write an important piece, “The Importance of Electing Al Franken.”

Voters of Minnesota, your choice could not be simpler. Coleman is a pathetic hack who will do as little as possible in a US Senate office other than cover his own ass and protect his power. Meanwhile, Al Franken is everything you could hope for in a candidate to represent your state in the world’s most august deliberative body. Smart, caring, brave. That’s the choice. Mitt Romney light. Or a return to someone special in the US Senate from the great state of Minnesota.

“Doggone it, people like me!” Alec didn’t mention Stuart’s failure to provide worker’s compensation insurance for his employees, nor did he discuss Stuart’s sticky tax issues. The important issues are much more shallow! Al Franken is a celebrity and therefore, highly intelligent and qualified! His status as a celebrity libiot is enough to overcome his apparent propensity for being duped by accountants (as all his problems stem from bad accountant advice) and enable him to accomplish the work of Minnesota in the Senate.

As an aside, I must point out the typical libiot hypocrisy of labor unions supporting anti-worker candidates is also at work in Franken’s case. Why should labor unions care that Franken avoided worker’s comp. for his employees when he meets all relevant criteria? He is a Democrat and he used to be on TV!

Back to the super-sized star of  “30 Rock.” Maybe Tina Fey has told Alec that Franken has always been playing a character and therefore there could be actual substance there, hidden way down deep. Another possibility is that Alec likes the strength Franken shows by shouting “Liar” over and over at those with whom he disagrees. That type of courage would undoubtedly be awe-inspiring to an excuse for a man who usually reserves screaming and bullying for his eleven year old daughter.

I would like to know what the parishioners of Al Gore’s Church of Climate Change (formerly known as Church of Global Warming, but that was before even the libiot supporters of this religion started to realize that wee seem to be entering a cooling cycle) are going to do to fix this problem. Will donations to be directed such that The Goreacle can commission the construction of a green space shuttle (hybrid, of course) that would enable the round one, himself to fly to Jupiter and seek out the culprits? I’m guessing the shuttle would have a catchy name like “Inconvenient 1″ or “Mean Green Flyin’ Machine.”

Is there human life on Jupiter? I guess there must be, since human activity causes climate change. I wonder what the global citizens of Jupiter call SUV’s? Perhaps it is too far fetched to think that there are people living on Jupiter and causing catastrophic, spot-altering, climate change.  Perhaps the citizens of The United States of America, in our greed and selfish desire to live, are causing climate change on Jupiter with our nasty habits of driving and exhaling! Yes, that must be it! Barry Obama and John McCain must ensure that their respective (but certainly not respectable) campaign platforms deal with this crisis! Will Sheryl Crow endorse whichever candidate has the most environmentally socialist plan to stop our emissions from affecting our galactic neighborhood? She could write a campaign song, “Just One Square For Jupiter.”

I can almost hear the speeches now. John McCain will tell us that Theodore Roosevelt new the value of preserving the climate of Jupiter and it would be grossly irresponsible to not strangle American manufacturing in order to deal with Jupiter’s possible crisis. “Big Brother” Barry will say we can’t eat what we want and drive our SUVs and make personal decisions for ourselves and expect the rest of the solar system to just say OK.

I do at least hope Al Gore attempts to travel to Jupiter and assess the situation. I also think the entire nation might benefit as many of the global warming libiots as possible join him.
