Tripping the Light Fantastic with Lady Gaga and Obama
Just the other day Lady Gaga took another tumble, which indicates once again that the woman formerly known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, and Barack Obama, formerly known as Barry Soetoro, have a lot in common.
Lady Gaga and Barack Obama are overnight sensations, have huge cult-like followings, know how to pack a stadium, and do their best work communicating over a microphone. Lady Gaga can play piano, drums, and the keytar, and Obama can play an audience. Stefani talks to God and Obama is convinced he is God. One loves to sing about Judas, the other loves himself and labels his detractors Judas.
Ms. Germanotta does a blasphemous impression of Madonna and, try as he might, when it comes to channeling Ronald Reagan, Mr. Obama falls short.
Lady Gaga and Barack Obama both spoke insensitively about Special Olympiads and later were constrained to publicly apologize. The only difference between the two is that to date, Obama has yet to show up behind the podium shod in a pair of Alexander McQueen Armadillo shoes.
Attention junkie Lady Gaga and imperious amateur Barack Obama are bound to fizzle out. The past tells us that media creations launch into the stratosphere and then, lacking endurance, swiftly sputter and fall. Yet despite recent Easter and Passover hubbubs and various and sundry ongoing controversies, meteoric icons Gaga and Barack continue to press on.
Barack is a politician and Lady Gaga a pop star, both notorious for unstable footing — Gaga literally, Obama politically.
With nary a shred of embarrassment, Gaga fell while making her way through Heathrow Airport, got up and kept going. Recently, “while trying to straddle” her flaming piano bench, she slid off, hit the floor, and then bounced right back up, never missing a beat. Then, weeks later, Miss Germanotta danced up a storm, threw off her jacket, swung her bleached blond hair around, stomped sexily in the direction of her dance troupe, and again hit the floor — hard.
According to TMZ, “Just like the last fall … Gaga got right up and trucked on like nothing ever happened.” Effie Orfanides at the Gather Entertainment Channel made the following observation about Lady Gaga’s resiliency:
The great thing about it is that she just falls over and doesn’t miss a beat. In fact … Gaga tried to incorporate the fall in to her routine, which is very hard to do … especially when everyone knows that you’re prone to toppling over during your shows. Anyway, no one seems bothered by her constant dropping. … It’s actually less funny to watch now that it has happened a bunch of times!
I desperately hope that Barack Obama is gone by January, 2013. And I hope the circus act known as Lady Gaga is history even sooner.
President Obama is the best president in the entire history of America. Go President Obama, don’t let any sewer rats hold you down!
Heather… what is it you’re smokin?
Hey Joyce, I’m smoking anti-hater cigarettes. It works pretty well. You and your ilk should try it.
You are aware, of course, of two gentlemen named Washington and Lincoln?
Great analogy. I hope you are right and we are rid of Obama in 2012. America cannot survive another four years of Obama falls.
Yay, Obama got Osama! Where was Bush?
Heather,
Obama got Osama because Bush and the policies he put in place paved the way.
Obama couldn’t find his ass in the dark with two hands and a flashlight.
Hey Arnold, is that you ex Governor Arnold? Anyways, if Bush’s policies and interogation tactics were so great that gathered a mountain of info during his time, why didn’t he catch Osama? Did your idol failed you? I know, he failed us all.
Heather…we are all a little dimmer for having read your bitter, hypocritical left wing talking points.
Enlighten us all: what exactly did Obama do that led to Osama’s killing? What policies did he put in place that weren’t already put in place by Bush?
I know thinking is hard for little idiots like you…but inquiring minds want to know: like everything else in this nimrod’s Presidency that he claims to have ‘inheirited’, couldn’t you also say that “He inheirited this victory from Bush?” It was after all, Bush’s policies that set the table for President Skippy to come in and say “Yes” when asked for authorization.
Tell us, what did President Mom Jeans bring to the table? How did HE make this happen?
This should be good…
I’ll tell you why Heather..because Bush was out of office before all the intel was in. So obvious even a doofus can see that.
AF_Vet from USN Vet.
Right on. See, no more pontificating on her part. No more answers to the logic of it all.
..when gaga falls it is her who is bruised …sure obama falls but it is we who get bruised
The two have other commonalities: they both are artificial media creations, and they both play to insentient audiences. It’s bad enough that pop culture is dumbed-down to the degree that Gagas and Sheens and Snookies are celebrated, but the disease has reached an advanced stage when the cultural cancer has reached the electorate. That Obama was so effectively sold to the public in ’08 is proof that that is the case, and it does not bode well for the nation. Obama’s approvals should rightly be in the teens by now, yet he’s still flirting with viability. Polls bounce around, reflecting momentary waves of sentiment rather than principled conviction. Our institutions are failing us, public education paramount among them.
Return to your foundation, America, before it is too late.
A liberal Socialist is a Liberal Socialist by any other name !!!!
Do they have belly buttons? One came out of an ovum at an awards show. Don’t know where the other one came from.
Paul B. Sorry I missed that artifcial creation thing. Fit right in with the missing belly buttons.
Sorry to be back again. “media creations launch into the stratosphere and then, lacking endurance, swiftly sputter and fall.” Icarus. Both.
How does anyone explain why some still think Obama is the greatest president ever? Google Obama Greatest president ever to see.
Or scroll up to our little lefty moron Heather for an example…
It’s because some people started out by idolizing Obama as though he were a god, same as some other people do with rock stars such as Lady Gaga. This type of infatuation is both completely irrational and morally wrong. Its practitioners deliberately blind themselves to the truly catastrophic flaws of the object of their idolatry.
Does that mean that Weird Al Yankovic will finally run for president?

To be serious, there are some deluded people who think that this is the best “singer” ever, too.
Lady Gaga can topple over and pick herself up and continue to pack arenas unlike President Obama because she doesn’t back track. She doesn’t apologize for who she is or what she believes. This is a luxury of the performer, not the president. President Obama was put on a pedestal by his fans, too high. He has fallen. Lady Gaga has climbed every step of the way in her four inch heels with her ass hanging out. Her footing is a lot more stable on top of her pedestal because she put herself there. President Obama hasn’t worked for where he is, and he is falling and will continue to fall.
There is a huge difference the Lady has real talent -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8CUn2VsgzU&feature=related
Barry is a fake that is turning prosperity into junk
Actually, Barack Obama is the Michael Jackson of American politics.
Click my name and read my widely linked piece “Why Obama Delayed The Mission To Kill Bin Laden, And His 19th Lie.”
I dont think the analogy is quite fair to Lady GaGa. I’m not a big fan or anything but I have seen her perform on TV and video. She works hard for a living and has some impressive talents as musician and performer. I dont think I have seen anyone work harder on stage. She is also very open and honest about herself. She is real anyway and a self-made entrepeneur.
Obama is more like Milli Vanilli.
When you’ve seen Obama swing at a golf ball, you’ll swear they are the same person.
