We ‘Lazy’ and ‘Soft’ Americans Don’t Deserve Obama
And that’s not the only time we let Obama down. Remember when he passed ObamaCare? There was Obama, making sure we’d all finally get health coverage and be taken care of when our morbid obesity caught up with us instead of letting us die in the streets like we probably deserve. But what did we do? We ran whining to the Supreme Court, “That mean man is trying to force us to buy health insurance!” He tried to help us — tried to preserve our very lives — and we’re taking him to court because we just don’t like having to do stuff.
So let’s face it: We suck. And while we’re so worried about how the miserable state of the country affects us, none of us ever worries about what it’s doing to Obama. Our horrible economy is making him look like an idiot. Foreign leaders have to be snickering at him behind his back at how badly America is doing, but it’s not his fault. He’s actually done a great job, but we’re the ones who are constantly failing him. Is that fair? It’s like if Tom Landry were saddled with a bunch of out of shape, unmotivated slobs and expected to make them a winning football team. People would make fun of Landry for coaching such terrible players, he’d constantly be yelling at the useless lumps he’s fruitlessly trying to turn into a winning team, and it would be frustrating and pointless for everyone involved.
Is that what we want for ourselves and Obama? Though Obama has slipped and insinuated it a few times, he’s just too concerned about our feelings to come out and say what’s now quite obvious: We’re a waste of his time. Plus I know I can’t take it anymore seeing the disappointment in his eyes every time he looks at us after the new jobs numbers come out. It’s unfair to keep him as our president only to make him watch us fail while tarnishing him in the process. In 2012, we really should just go with some dumb “me want cut taxes” Republican — we deserve no better — and let Obama go on to bigger and better things.
I’m sure I’ve already read this in the NYT…
um, not quite, they were not being ironic.
Great reply to a funny article and comment!!!!
“DONE IN ONE”, hopefully and the anointed one can “move on” to king of the world.
Yeah like the world of Uranus!
I don’t want him anywhere near my… oh, wait… I get it. Yeah, what he said.
This is a brilliant article. I hadn’t thought of it before and you’re right. We DO suck. We don’t deserve Obama, never did. I just wish we would have realized it before we asked him to run.
*We* didn’t ask us to run, he was thrust upon us like lung cancer from second hand smoke.
I’m so ashamed of myself for eating all these Cool Ranch Doritos when I should have been helping Obama save our country from us. I feel like a total waste of time. I am so unworthy.
Mr. Fleming is a highly educated political expert who clearly knows his stuff. We should all follow his advice re: 2012 the same way that none of us followed Obama’s thinking from day one.
We don’t really know where or when he was educated, there is no record available to us. If the health care is so good why did Congress exempt themselves from it along with over a thousand others? The only reason Obama is calling us lazy is we ran out of money he loves to give away and he wants more of the same. Lets face it Mr. Fleming must also get the tingles when Barack speaks and the sad part is he votes.
Mixplix, may I introduce you to satire, it’s a little thing that’s supposed to be funny.
Satire is wasted on the clueless.
Enable your humor settings, neighbor!
I’m so very, VERY, sick and tired to hear that Obama was a “Harvard-educated man.” You will note that when he was running for president, this was almost the only qualification he had for BEING president, that and the Harvard Law Review, a publication that I doubt has much to do with RUNNING A COUNTRY! He never ran a town, a city, a state, let alone a major (or even small) business. But he just HAD to be qualified because he went to Harvard. Oh, and what about all those “brilliant” economic minds that he brought to the White House that also came from acedemia? Oh, they’re all gone now and the economy is STILL in the crapper. And when you have an unemployment rate that is only going down because around 315,000 people dropped off unemployment and gave up looking for a job, that’s not really a model for growth. Yep, that Harvard education really came in hand RUNNING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, let alone running the most complicated economy on this planet.
If this is what Harvard produces, the next time I want somebody from a state university. They at least may bring with them some common sense to the White House.
I live within a few miles of Harvard. Having seen them in action on a daily basis, the kindest thing I can say is, they are a pack of drooling narcoleptics.
I actually do suffer from narcolepsy (I’m a brain surgery survivor, no joke) and I require medication for that and other neurological conditions.
I did not go to Harvard and would not have wanted to go there. (Please don’t get me started on the whole New England Yankee mentality.)
Please do not assume that narcoleptics are as clueless, mentally slothful, prejudiced, and just plain stupid as the denizens of Harvard. I do not consider myself any genius, but I am sure as Hell smarter than Barack Hussein Obama and all of his advisers put together!
My apologies for the snark then. FYI, that’s an Ann Coulter quote.
Harvard degrees mean something when admission is based on merit and the course load is ambitious and challenging. All the evidence is that Obama’s Harvard law degree (and Columbia BS – my those initials seem appropriate in this case!!!!) do not meet those criteria. Admission was based on affirmative action, not academic acheivement. And what courses did he take, what grades did he get, what honors did he receive, what articles did he publish in the august Law Review? Why have we not seen any transcripts? I doubt that it is due to modesty.
On one of the entrance gates to Harvard Yard, the center of the campus, is inscribed, “Enter–to grow in wisdom. Depart–to serve mankind.” Unfortunately, most liberal students and teacher there are not able to do the former, while desperately yearning to do the later.
That jibes with my experience of them as well. “Idiot Crusaders,” such as it were.
I have a next-door neighbor who is a Harvard trained Juris Doctor, all full of herself. To date, she has pontificated to me that:
Second-hand smoke, even at hundreds of feet distance and outdoors is toxic, but there is no similar issue with the exhaust from an automobile. It is an entirely different thing.
100% of the homeless in the US became homeless solely and only due to alcoholism and/or drug abuse. No other possibility exists.
No one may make substantial noise near her house, or she complains bitterly about it. Although she has a Dog she puts out very early in the morning and late at night, and it n\barks incessantly. She even acknowledges that her pet makes as much noise at inappropriate hours as anyone else, but then just shrugs it away, and makes no effort to control her invasive noise.
If there is something she distastes involving certain neighbors, she begins a back-channel whisper campaign against them, getting the “neighborhood mob” to go along with her.
And on and on. 100% privilege, 0% sense. No wisdom, but in your face about her causes and pet peeves, and you better pay attention or else! Apparently upon earning her J.D., the hand of God touched her, and ennobled her. The rest of us are peasants.
I am reminded of the sage words of Llondo Molari, Babylon Five: “Ah, arrogance and stupidity, all in one neat package; how efficient of you.”
Allston, please oh please re-create some of the scenes in Stepbrothers this holiday season when her family and friends come to visit.
Can you rent one of those hot tubs and put it on the front lawn, dec it out in the most crass flashy Christmas decor.
Actually a nativity scene would be the best.
Invite your fattest friends to go hottubbin. Bring on giant Costco sized bags of Chips, cases of beer strewn on the lawn and if you have to rent a monster truck or two . Oh and make the wives come out in their bikinis to serve hot snacks!
Send us the photos I’m certain Roger Simon will post them for all of us to see.
I think PJ media should have a competition. Best piss off your liberal Obama loving neighbors idea! Send in photos. We’ll be the judges.
Invite me too! Sounds like a party!
Damn! She sounds conservative as hell, i am truly sorry!
“to serve mankind” … brings to mind an episode of The Twilight Zone
We really need a “Like” button here.
Seconding that need for a like button. They need one at Reason too. So I’ll just copy the way their commenters get around that…
+5
Though I don’t think Twilight Zone immediately – I first read it as a short story by Damon Knight. Still, it resonates either way.
Do you mean serve mankind, medium-rare or raw?
> Enter–to grow in wisdom. Depart–to serve mankind
That explains things – “To Serve Mankind” is a cookbook.
“To serve mankind”
There is a classic Science Fiction short story in which the aliens come to Earth to “Serve Man.” In fact, they all carry with them a book by that title. Earthlings are thrilled at all the wisdom and guidance provided by these benevolent aliens, until someone finds out that “To Serve Man” is a cookbook.
Barack Obama is a great Harvard grad. He is and has certainly served the U.S. He has served us up on a platter.
Unfortunately, when liberals talk about “serving mankind,” this is what they mean.
Well, you can always tell a Harvard man, but you can’t tell him much.
Put it this way…there are plenty of good reasons why Obama’s transcripts have not been released.
Ivy League universities will let in just about anybody if the appropriate financial contributions have been made. Colleges and universities are corrupt businesses that rely on manipulating the grabbermint to keep taxpayers’ money flowing in the form of grants, student loan money, and so forth.
Is Obama mentally defective?
I don’t know about you, but I have CATS who are smarter than this dude.
I once threw a Harvard grad down a flight of stairs when he tried to “acquaintance rape” my female housemate. It was very gratifying. He was a drinking buddy of Ted Kennedy, and a classmate of JFK and a frequent guest at Hyannisport.
I tossed him only after he upbraided me for having the temerity to interfere with his predatory birthright.
I wish the rest of you might some day have the priviledge of doing the same to other Harvard grads. We could then start a secret society, and maybe call it “The Numbskull and Bones.”
The state educated man would be Rick Perry. The yell leader from Texas A&M. (And yes, I are a Aggie too)
Here is a little known tidbit Havard is not an accredited institution.
Yes it is, and it took me about a minute to verify that fact. (It’s on page 5 if you do a search by state and select Mass.)

Frank, you quite rightly capitalized the “O” in Obama, but don’t you think we should also consider capitalizing the “H” when referring to Him? Just a thought.
He doesn’t recognize the economic disaster he has created. He believes, what he has always been told, that he is a huge success, his only mistake, not communicating his greatness to the little people. Because in reality, Americans have become too soft and too lazy, to put in the time and effort necessary to understand how lucky we are to have Barack Obama, perhaps the greatest man to have ever lived. If you don’t believe me, just ask him, he’ll tell you.
http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/11/obama_the_dream.html
Think of it this way: Obama’s wrecking crew is creating the America that exists in his mind. The worse off it is the more it
affirms his belief that America is an ugly place. It’s a self actualizing experiment.
You cannot blame Obama for creating the disaster – he only made it much worse. The blame should go to Clinton (the one with trousers and restless gear in them) and, respectively, the American voter who gave him not just one but two terms. Bush the Younger is not without blame, either; there is no escaping it. Single protagonists may be optically prominent, but they are just parts of complex machinery. It is not so much a president or a government that needs mending; it is the whole country.
To run a simple matrix, there are these four possibilities:
1. Obama sucks while the U.S. is great.
2. The U.S. sucks while Obama is great.
3. Obama is great and so is the U.S.
4. Obama sucks and so does the U.S.
Consider: Which of the above best applies at the moment?
I would be loath giving the answer myself, frankly.
Obviously at this point Obama sucks and so does the U.S. Government.
We, the citizenry of the USA, elected this evil clown; ergo, we suck.
If you disagree, please read this before you reply:
Words of Wisdom from the Czech Republic
Yes, former President Happypants did indeed widen the scope of the Fannie Mae program to give mortgages to the indigent. He may have been ejaculating at the time.
AMERICA’S MALAISE OF SOFTNESS
A big government, egalitarian, nanny state president who’s incessantly busy spreading the morally corrosive poison of government dependency complains that Americans have grown soft over the decades? Pardon my Yiddish, but what a SCMUCK.
S(c)hmuck. Otherwise, on the spot.
Mr. Fleming; What prescience!
Are you now being romanced by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS, Associated Press, Reuters?
This article shows such perception, that I’m forwarding a copy to the United Nations General Assembly. They are smart enough to recognize what an intelligent prophet you and Obama truly are.
And, you guessed it; We ARE too dense to deserve Obama. We need to help him attain greater goals. Not voting for him and releasing him from that thankless, dead end job as President of the United States, would help him reach the lofty aspirations he actually deserves.
I never felt sorry for the man until now. You have really helped me see the light.
Not voting for Obama would be the best thing I could ever do to show my appreciation for the most erudite President the United States has ever had.
P.S.
Apparently, most of us are too lame and feeble minded to play the highly intelligent, adroit, and crafty game of golf, too.
My Scots ancestors invented Golf.
Realizing what they’d just perpetrated upon the world, they then invented Scotch.
I think we came out ahead in that bargain.
But then you crapped away those good deeds with haggis.
Oh, they don’t actually *eat* the bluidy stuff, they keep it to scare away the Pommie tourists.
Tug Baker would probably eat haggis.
Cybergeezer — I second your praise of this article. Indeed, if Obama’s accomplishments by what? — ten days into his term? — were worth a Nobel Peace Prize, I think this literary effort deserves at least a Pulitzer.
I agree. We stink! The sooner that we install a EU style technocracy to tell us what to do and how to run our lives the better. After all THEY sure know how to run a continent.
BTW – I always get the impression that Harvard and the Big Ivys regard the U.S. the same way Oxford and Cambridge graduates viewed the British Empire under Disraeli and Salisbury in the 19th Century. It is their task to go out and civilize the savages in the “right” ways of thinking. Instead of actually going to Aden or Calcutta (or in our case Mississippi or Texeas) they now choose to remain in the comfort of NYC or DC and tell us what to do via politics or print and electronic media. Either way the message is the same – “Shut up and do what you’re told. It’s for your own good.”
Are you freaking kidding me? Satire needs a little snicker here and there for it to be recognized as such. You should have prefaced this post by saying this is how Obarry thinks. Would have actually been funny. This could be posted on many liberal sites and you would be considered a genius! Forgive me if I have gotten this wrong. I don’t often comment here and this is the first negative one from me.
“It’s unfair to keep him as our president only to make him watch us fail while tarnishing him in the process. In 2012, we really should just go with some dumb “me want cut taxes” Republican — we deserve no better — and let Obama go on to bigger and better things.”
Okie dokie
Maybe when he becomes UN Secretary-General the rest of the world will be able to live up to his expectations and put an end to his disappointment.
Actually, I recoiled when I first heard America being called, lazy, mean, racist, greedy, smelly, stinky, bitter and clingy. It offended me that someone would go on an apology tour on our behalf.
However, I have rethunk my positions.
1)We have a Senate that has not produced a budget for nearly 1000 days and a White House that has been completely unengaged in any meaningful work for nearly three years. That’s about as lazy as it gets.
2)We have a DOJ that not only allows club-wielding, racial epithet spewing at polling booths, it seems to encourage it. That’s as mean and racist as it gets.
3)We have money being funneled to Solyndra, Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law, Maxine Waters husband and union stooges in bankruptcy court…that’s as greedy as can be.
4)As for stinky and smelly, Oakland and Zucotti have ordered sixty five thousand gallons of leftover Glade.
5)And, if anyone has read the Daily Duranty, Krugman, Rich and their ilk, can anyone deny the bitter clinging to a ruptured and inane leftism that has crumbled Europe and is strangling any semblance of recovery here?
I, for one…would like to thank the Obama family for pointing out these flaws that were hidden from view. The 53% who actually put their heads down every day and plow through another week shouldering the load, were not paying attention to just how lazy, smelly, racist and mean the other folks were.
The Obama family knew. That’s how they saw America. And we owe a debt of gratitude for flushing them out into the open.
As for an apology tour…I have reversed my kneejerk aversion to that as well. Come November 2012, I think we ought to start another one of our own.
We can start with Israel. Or our border agents. Our military. Law enforcement. The state of Arizona. Great Britain. Poland. The Baltics. The people of Iran. The people of Syria. Our Constitution. The Statue of Liberty. Joe the Plumber. Boeing. Christians. Southern people. Tea Partiers. …..
Apologizing to the founding fathers will be a good place to start.
But I got this wild feeling that the DOW jumping 800 points the day after the election may make the apologies unnecesary.
“Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me.”
As Wayne and Garth would say: Schwing!
Our genius’ latest gaffe is, of course, referencing the British embassy as the English embassy.
Right up there with his fake self-deprecation in telling a European audience that he doesn’t speak Austrian.
Both Obamas referenced Americans as backwards, lazy and incompetent during the ’08 campaign. Michelle was taken off the campaign trail in the waning months, probably to shut her up. Recently, she made similar remarks at a fundraiser at a posh beachfront home in Florida.
Just can’t help herself.
Classless, relatively ignorant and unschooled people should not deign to publicly lecture other people about their class, competency, laziness or anything else under the sun.
Something about glass houses and stones fits here.
Stop Indefinite Detention of U.S. Citizens Without Due Process Below is an urgent alert from the John Birch society regarding Senate Bill 1867, the Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which will give clear congressional support and authorization for indefinite military detention and military trial of American citizens. If passed, this will amount to a declaration of war against the American people, authorizing the Obama Administration and all future administrations to treat Americans the same as citizens of occupied Iraq or Afghanistan, subjecting us all to military jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of the international laws of war, rather than our Bill of Rights and our domestic criminal laws, upon the mere say so of Obama or one of his minions.

I thought a “bitter clinger” was the last bit of dried up bean dip that stuck to the side of the can. You keep breaking Doritos trying to scoop it up but it just stays there. Now president Obama has explained that it was guns and religion that cause “bitter clingers”.
He also explains that we are lazy and I know he knows that i could have got up and got a spoon or scooped up the dip with the side of a gun but I dont have one now because I didn’t want any more “bitter clingers” so I got rid of mine.
I took it to the police department and said “here take my gun” and they smiled a lot and said thank you and were real nice so I know it was the right thing.
I am glad president Obama said that to the Asian countries because they are good in math and can help America to someday be a good place to live. We are lucky to have such a good president.
Satire this is NOT, and Frank you are a complete and utter IDIOT concerning your logical thinking. The Failed President is destoying the country and does not respect WHITE people, America, Constitution, Military, and Christians.
Heh. There’s those words in all caps.
Obama doesnt respect white people? I guess you forgot your meds today brushjumper. That is, if you truly believe that. However i suspect that it is hyperbole on your part. Obama has surrounded himself with white person after white person. Geithner, Clinton, Emanuel, his whole wall street cabinet basically…
You voted for Obama, didn’t you? It’s ok you can admit it, you’re among friends here. Oh! By the way theirs a new white robe and, pointy hat hanging in the hall closet for you.
Um…given the words in caps, should we assume that you are a troll that must not be fed?
“Obama is actually a great president. And we’re just a lousy country.”
Mr Fleming was pretty good from the start, but this effort is industrial strength. There isn’t a word out of place. Brilliant. Congrats!
Ah Brushjumper you obviously have never read Swifts “A Modest Proposal”. I recommend it highly. Then re read Mr Flemings article. Satire it most certainly is on his part. The fact that Obama probably agrees with him does not make it different. Thinking people understand the difference between reality and fantasy. Obama and his obamabots have a tenuous grasp of reality. It’s time for them to be replaced by someone who has a understand of things as the REALLY are.
Mr. Fleming, nice job.
whats even funnier than the satire is the people not getting it
Mr. Fleming, this was absolutely wonderful! It was a nice change to laugh out loud while reading a political piece – fabulous satire! Thank you for making my day! The rest of my week even!
Yup, we just must be a lousy country. Who knew?!
I will make every effort in the coming year to see that in November of 2012 Obama can move on to a job where his talents are not wasted on a bunch of “lazy” and “soft” Americans.
Obama isn’t perfect but lets be honest, when in history have you ever heard people question a guy’s birthcertificate when he was clearly born here?When have you ever heard someone say, my job will be to make Obama a one term president?Those are some of the most anti-American things I have heard. Your job is to make Obama a one term president? Really Mitchie boy? I thought it was to work for the American people?
A black man achieves by going to harvard and becoming president of this country and the first thing these racists do, yes racists, screw your pc nonsense, is call into question his birthcertificate and his citizenship.Despicable, and every last one of you in here should be ashamed of yourselves if you agreed with that.
The politics are questionable but don’t belittle the man because of his skin color.
Good job taking on those criticizing Obama because of his skin color. Next you should take on the Snuffleupagus.
Well i call em like i see em. And you guys hate political correctness, so i don’t feel i need to like it either.
As between Platonic realism and Obamagastic idealism, none can gainsay that “Get Real” falls into chthonic bathos.
There is more evidence that he was a Red Diaper Baby, had the skids greased to get into Columbia and Hahvud or was admitted as a foreign student, and had his bills paid by parties unknown than there is for your Black Horatio Alger story. And if the faculty lounge communist would like to clear all that up, he can unseal his college records. If we were dealing with a Republican candidate, some lefty punk at whatever college s/he went to would leak the records in a nanosecond, so there’s some reason he’s being kept as the man with no past.
No there isn’t. And how you managed to extrapolate a black horatio alger story form what i wrote is beyond stupid. I am being honest. A lot of what i am hearing sounds like you can’t believe a black man maybe, just maybe, achieved on his own and got to harvard. That he made the harvard law review and now he is president. And yes subconsciously i think that hurts the fragile little egos of SOME white people and they find themselves saying and believing in the most ridiculous things, most of which can be refuted using sheer common sense.
Another lefty useful idiot spouting the Party line; anyone who questions anything about Comrade Obama is a racist. I read his damned books. I remember Bill Ayers from his Weatherman days and it is a travesty that the SOB wasn’t executed. Comrade Obama’s family history from the trek to Harry Bridges’ Seattle to Harry Bridges’ Hawaii and their activities in both places point to a direct connection to the CPUSA. By that time it was dangerous to be a member but they were almost certainly fellow travellers. And some of us remember when “progressive” was just the term for communist that they used in polite company. And if he would like to clear up the mysteries, he can, but I know he won’t, and lefty fools like you will believe whatever the media shovels out about him, or should that be Him?
Art, being a racist isn’t the worst thing in the world. You can ask sky father for forgiveness after all. But lets cut the righty lefty mumbo jumbo. I call a spade a spade. I don’t really like Obama as a president; but there are some pretty obvious criticisms that are untrue. Obviously you can’t prove racism in the same way you prove gravity exists, but I hear what white people say about the man, and as a black person, I found it upsetting and racist. Now i am a big boy so there is no need to tell me life isn’t fair, I know, so spare me the typical righty tactic of apologizing for bad behavior because life isn’t fair. Got it!
I question when people hound obama about his origins and so should any American, because not only is it a dumb distraction, it is simply untrue. Why is it there was such a fervor about “finding” out the origin of the first “black” president? Then there is the rhetoric. Huckabee said he had ties to mau mau rebels in Kenya. Of course Huckabee revised his history and made it seem like Mau Mau rebels randomly decided to attack the good british people for no reason. Huckabee doesn’t bother me too much, though. He is like a 60 year old man who still believes in fairy tales and preaches about them for money. What an assinine and lazy career, huh? Problem is Huckabee as a following of equally deluded “grown-ups” who buy into his nonsense.
Then there are the ridiculous lies about Obama’s “disrespect for white people.” Which is obviously stupid considering the man has been surrounded by white people his whole life. Harvard, Harvard Law, U.S. President. I listed those in ascendary order based on the chances you would be around white people.
The man’s politics suck, ok. But stop making up stuff and inciting racists, which is really what Huckabee was doing. It is pretty transparent and it is one more reason why clueless conservatives are losing a grip on this country and reality. So stop acting dumbfounded blaming liberals, and everyone else for your shortcomes and paranoias and pull out a mirror. You want to beat Obama? I doesn’t sound like it. THe America people aren’t this narrow.
You’re just working the lefty stereotype; you’re all pretty much one trick ponies. So, it should be evident that I don’t give a damn if a lefty calls me a racist; you’ve done it so many times it’s meaningless, just another of the three or four perjoratives you all use. So, now it’s that I’m also some sort of religous person so definitionally stupid since I believe in “Sky Father,” or some such crap. Hey, I’m your worst nightmare; a conservative that there’s not enough evidence to convict of being a Christian.
I spent my later career dealing with Alinsky-disciple and Meany School communist union reps, some of whom even knew they were communists. I know how they think, I know how they act, and I know one when I see one. I knew what he was the miniute I laid eyes on him and heard him speak and reading “his” books just reinforced it. When I saw him make that first convention speech, I thought to myself, “So you’re they one they think they can send out and pass as a moderate and you can use being Black to thwart any criticism.” I hate to have been so right. So, it isn’t that he’s Black, it’s that he’s Red.
I will believe President Barack Husein 0bama got where he is today, on his own, when I read some papers he has written. If he got where he is by Affirmative Action, and the color of his skin, then the color of his skin is, indeed, an issue.
“The politics are questionable but don’t belittle the man because of his skin color.”
Projection is the domain of the Left.
Wow, way to play the race card!! I really don’t think race or skin color has anything to do with people not believing he is a US Citizen or not though, but again, way to play the race card!!
Pull the race card? Do you believe racism exists in America, at all? What is racism to you?
BR, Racism has nothing to do with it. I grew up in Hawaii and went to the same highschool, Punahou, and I’d really like to see his grades there, his college grades, his passport(s), and more documentation of just who he is. There are a lot of loose ends to his story and he’s been given a total pass by the folks who’s job it should be to vet public officials. Absolutely anyone else would have been subject to microscopic examination.
Oh, try: Goddamn AmeriKKKa! But, Comrade Obama even though he was sitting there for years never heard and certainly didn’t believe anything like that. Yeah, right, and we all fell off the turnip truck this morning.
Okay, Real;
Obama doesn’t wear any ring, so what are we supposed to kiss?
His distal sphincter is a ring.
Kiss that!
Can we see his transcripts, and all those other ‘;details’ he’s hiding? And a certain video?
And just like the Germans were too weak as a people to rise to Hiler’s inspired leadership, we Americans just aren’t really up to the promise of Comrade Obama and don’t deserve to survive as a culture.
Even though its a parody it makes me ill to think we have someone in the White House that would denigrate the “People” for foreign audience’s. His is the face of the Democrat Party now, Marxist, hates the country and people and is trying to ruin it for socialism.
“The Truth! The Truth! You can’t handle the truth!…I’ll use Satire instead….”
Or am I recalling that wrong?
Yep, them slaves are lazy. It takes a lot of work to keep and maintain a plantation. The owner and those in favor up at the house are upset that the field hands aren’t working harder so the proper folks can reap the product of that labor.
Obama isn’t perfect but lets be honest, when in history have you ever heard people question a guy’s birthcertificate when he was clearly born here?
What a relief! Barack Obama’s obstetrician has finally been found! (Who else would say “he was clearly born here” than someone who was present at the birth?)
I’m glad you’re here, sir. We have a good many questions for you.
In return, let me answer one of yours: yes, actually, I HAVE head people question a guy’s birth certificate. It was 2008, and the guy’s name was John McCain. There, that wasn’t hard, was it?
Im glad you mentioned MCcain. There was more of reason to question that since he was born in panama. However it was an American base and there was hardly any media coverage of it so there is a difference.
Are you Mccain’s obstetrician? what a dumb comment. How od are you, man? Act your age, use better sense.
Frank J. Fleming, please post using your real name! This even subtler satire on your part is confusing even those of us who got the joke in the original article above.
Nice job imitating a drooling troll, however.
I’m not kidding, Frank: if you toned down the sarcasm in this piece maybe 10%, you could get it published in Newsweek.
I, I, I… don’t deserve Obama as my president. He’s just so darn smart and everything. Here I am just sitting here, looking at my white hands and being racist.
I’ll admit I’m lazy, and soft. I have only had a job since I was 15; why didn’t I start working earlier?
I typically only work 12 – 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. Who the hell am I to take Sundays off, just so I can bitterly cling to religion?
Why do I do such selfish things as eat and sleep, when my very own president views me as lazy?
Please, Barry, put me out of my misery. Drop me from the tax roles; I don’t deserve to contribute to the finest government ever conceived by One Man.
You are right, Mr. Fleming. We Americans do not deserve Barack Obama as our president. We should humble ourselves forthwith and go with the Neanderthal Republicans in 2012, so that His Magnificence can go on to become
President of the WorldSecretary-General of the UN. If anyone deserves his exalted self, they do.And from there he becomes Global Supreme Potentate. Back in 2008 I did a side-by side comparison between the real Obama and the fictional Carpathia. The two overlap almost perfectly. About the only difference is Obama’s lack of a “mortal” wound.
Why does he want to be president of a country like that eh? If it’ so bad. I guess he doesnt’ qualify for any other jobs!!!!
His Splendiforous Self, Obama deserves better than the American People. We are underserving of his benevolence, intelligence and goodness.
Hey, I almost got into the schtick but my eyes opened wide, my head snapped back and I laughed “wtf”. Obama is simply the most incompetent, self-centered, lazy SOB who ever resided in the White House. Bye, bye Bama in 2012!
I agree, he is too good for us, let’s deport him to some other country that deserves him. Like maybe North Korea or Iran.
“You have to be hard to live in Kansas” (Prairy Erth). Obama could not survive. He is too good for us.
William Least heat Moon! Excellent! Decades since I read it, but remember it well. And if I’m not mistaken in his wonderful “Blue Highways” he set out with some bitter clinger sterotypes andexploed teh byways of America to find that folks wer good.
A balck American writerter, Eddy L. Harris Had a similar epphany when he set off inot the south on a bid well to read g bike, looking for rednecks to rumble with, and found that all the small town folks thought he was really cool and invited him for dinner. He concluded that much of the raqcism he encountered originated in his own mind. The hypochondria of racism, if you will.
Check him out: he wrote a wonderful book on Africa, and after finding his African roots, decided he much preferred to be an American.
Now that I think of it it, I’m a bit afraid to see what Mr Harris is up to these days, as he may have backslid as did Morgan Freeman.
In any case, get real( and anyone else) would do well to Read Mr. Harris’s South of Haunted Dreams” and “Native Stranger” Thoughtful stuff, and can’t put down travel writing.
“You’re President Obama. You used to be big.”
“I am big. It’s the country that got small.”
The citizens of the United States are getting the government they deserve and will continue to do so.
A republic IF you can KEEP it. Unfortunately the answer seems to be NO WE CANT.
As a result you will get the “default” government type, a “soft” fascist socialist state that “strip mines the wealth” into the hands of cronies and the ruling class. The United States of Mexetina – Change your getting and you’ll like it.
The sheeple masses of the US may rise up when their 401k’s are confiscated to bail out Wall Street banks AGAIN, but maybe not.
It’s absolutely true that the US doesn’t deserve Obama. You know who does deserve Obama? France! France deserves Obama! Let’s take up a collection to send him to France, where he will have a country worthy of him! Or Albania. Whatever.
Gosh. I really feel bad now. I, for one, fully admit that I have not appreciated all Obama has done for me – the billions he spent apparently for nothing, the brilliantly crafted Obamacare bill that I was too lazy to read to appreciate, even his somewhat novel attempt to protect me from assault weapons by sending thousands over to the drug cartels so they can massacre each other and hundreds of other Mexicans besides. All his brilliant studying, his Harvard degree, his hardwork as a community organizer – all of it- utterlly wasted on ungrateful bitter wretches as myself. Maybe if he spends some more billions in Stimulus IV or whatever, I can get some and appreciate it better.
gosh, this article made me feel so guilty! I read on Rasmussen that Michelle Obama was only 37% proud of us right now, down from a high of 76% on inauguration day. and America’s approval rating with Barack Obama is only 40%–coincidentally, around the same as our approval rating of him. no mention of Malia and Sasha’
s opinions–who, to be serious for a minute, always look so uncomfortable in “photo ops” that I feel sorry for them.
be real et al., it might be fun to play the race card, but the fact is the only problem with Obama’s skin is that it’s too thin. we haven’t had a president this prickly and suspicious of his “enemies” since Nixon!
he’d be a bad president if he were white–but if he were white, he would never have gotten the nomination, and we’d be complaining about President H. Clinton instead. and what a better world THAT would be–and that’s not even sarcasm, sadly.
What is really so sad is that the ‘great unwashed’ American voting public is so stupid and therefore extremely likely to vote for this ‘man with no history’ the Document hiding Usurper all over again.
Forget it, Frank. You don’t get away so easily.
President Obama is not giving up on you, and he’s not going to let you give up on yourself.
So I suggest you just shape up and stop disappointing the man.
Mr. Fleming, in the future, each and every time you refer to the Obamamessiah, you shall show him proper respect, and call him by his full title:
“The All-Knowing, All-Powerful, Lord of the Universe, Savior, Final Prophet, Guardian of Nirvana, Father of Vishnu, the Holy Barack Obama Christ (Blessed Be He, Peace be Upon Him, Hallelujah!).”
Thanks be to you for the hearty belly laugh.
Yay! It’s another Obama-day. I wake up every morning and eat a big healthy bowl of Michelle approved Obam-o’s (they are really Cheerios but I like to call them Obam-o’s) and I say to myself, “Self, Isn’t it just a wonderful day to have Barack Hussein Obama as my glorious President? Yes! YES it IS!” Then I lick my finger and swipe a bit of dust away from the portrait of Obama hung above the hearth with care. And I thank the heavens for blessing us with this wonderful leader who works oh so very hard to keep the oceans at bay, to heal our planet, and give all that money to the needy unions and special interest groups that are down on their luck. The only thing that Obama hasn’t done that makes me sad is that he hasn’t elected himself President for life yet. I figure that 8 years of Obama’s glorious reign isn’t enough. We surely deserve 50 more, a 100 more, a 150 bajillion more! Long Live Barack Hussein Obama!
Don’t feel sorry for Obama. I’m sure his Golfing with Many vacations from the tedious dunderheads of America console him no end. The Sun King has bigger worries than the peasants of the USA. Like how to get rid of Jews. His thoughts are to profound to waste on a lazy Nation. I’m sure we all remembered that Hitler also berated the fact the Germans had let him down. That they where not worthy of his greatness. So to sorrowfully is Obama, caught like a prince in amber, forced to live in a mentally unsound paupers Universe.
Ps Loved this sardonic article. You catch the flavor of the current white house brilliantly.
We are not worthy of Obama.
In an effort to try harder, I hereby cut my beet rations in half!
You hit the nail on the head. Form the time he graduated from HaaVaaad, he was too good for us plebians. We should make certain we never elect another Ivy Leaguer so as to avoid this mistake again.
Obamacare Rationing Has Arrived: Live, or Die, with It
It isn’t being called rationing since the president repeatedly pledged that would never happen under Obamacare but, pledge as they might, the Obamians are already busily engaged in restricting Americans’ access to medical testing and treatment, aka rationing.
And, don’t dare even whisper the term “death panels.” Sarah Palin and others were widely ridiculed by the administration for suggesting their existence since, we were promised, Obamacare would never incorporate such a ghastly feature. Instead, they’re called ”ethics panels.”
Years before the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is fully implemented in 2014, measures are being taken nationwide to cut costs and limit access to medical procedures which for decades were considered prudent and necessary for diagnosis and treatment of potentially life-threatening illnesses and diseases.
It’s the old trick of boiling a frog adapted to medicine.
Those interested in boiling frogs know you should never throw the little amphibians into pots of boiling water since they tend to jump out and spoil the fun. Likewise, politicians know they can’t literally throw grannie under a bus, pull the plug on gramp’s respirator, or assign a cancer patient to a death panel since grannie, gramps, and the cancer patient are liable to kick them where it hurts.
You have to boil them gradually and use euphemisms as you do it.
Rationing began in earnest earlier this year when the FDA withdrew approval of Genentech’s highly-effective but expensive breast cancer drug Avastin on the basis that it had ”a marginal effect on tumor growth in breast cancer and in light of Avastin’s severe side effects, the risks outweigh the limited benefit.”
The FDA didn’t directly address that opinion to the thousands of women whose lives have been extended by that “limited benefit” and who scoff at the alleged side effects and risks.
Life, for frogs and human beings, supersedes both the pleasures of boiling water and side effects despite cost savings.
As for mammograms, women only think they should get them annually but that’s another misconception according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, USPTF, which seems to have been assembled by the Department of Health and Human Services less for the purpose of preventing than for rationing.
The task force of 16 “independent experts” concluded in November, 2009 that it makes no sense for women to either perform breast self-exams or get routine mammograms before reaching the age of 50. Possibly saving your life is purposeless, and it costs money.
After the flak hit the fan and women adopted the frog approach to boiling water, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebellius backtracked and insisted the “experts” were merely recommending, not establishing policy or determining coverage–and Republicans were absolute cads for suggesting otherwise.
Chalk one up for the women-folk.
Again only recommending, in October, 2011, the same task force reported that “Prostate-specific antigen–based screening results in small or no reduction in prostate cancer–specific mortality” despite findings by true independent studies showing such screenings reduce death rates by up to 90%.
Following that money-saving recommendation, the nation’s largest urology group jumped all over the USPTF . . .

I have been reading your stuff for sometime now and i have to say i love it. I see it in the NY Post all of the time. My only problem is when will the republicans come up with a viable candidate?
Fun fact, the NY Post operates at a loss but Newscorp keeps it floating for people like yourself. Page six is its most popular section.
If that’s your only problem you must have a boring life.
your a moron! “americans aren’t good at running business and creating jobs” if thats true than what sustained our nation as the greatest economic model in world history. Obama and you are clueless about the economy, gov’t spending is only temporary relief you need a viable private sector to sustain and maintian economic growth. We forget gov’t doesn’t have any money until they take it from us with force, print it or borrow it. So that put only people can create economic prosperity not the gov’t. And Obama isn’t worthy of us Americans since he doesn’t believe we are great. We are the only country in the world that has an illegal immigration problem, I wonder why???
Americans are the hardest working people thats why we are greatest economy in the world. You’re insulting calling us lazy as my father works 70 hour weeks to put my sister and I in the best of schools. And the only reason there are any lazy people is because of this entitlement state whe live in it motivates people not to work. The problem with America is the Obamas of the country who think giving people something for nothing is helping them but in return hurts them. Malcolm X said welfare is designed to keep us down it wont help us to prosperity it will only hurt us. Obama should take note.
This is the reason political satire is an irresponsible farce. It’s like arm wrestling with a toddler, you can’t feel good about it when it’s over.
Political Satire changes the world, look at the novelty of Mr Wilde. Yet an Oscar you are not, a reason you are near electronica exclusiva. The editorial board of the Post doesn’t count, they like to print cheap and loose. Perhaps I’m just envious, of the crosswords, suduku and poorly translated erotica and game guides out downloading your masterpiece, just perhaps. Ah who am I kidding? This article might just be satire.
