VP Biden: “We Are Off and Running, But Its Going to Get Worse”

 

Satire by John W. Lillpop

For just over $600,000 a year, the American people have secured the services of a president and vice president tandem that is virtually indistinguishable from some of the greatest heroes and stars coming out of Hollywood these days.

Think about it: In President Barack Obama, America has employed the Dark Knight as Commander-in-chief and for only $400,000 a year.

With Joe Biden hanging out around the White House, we the people get the Joker for the rock-bottom price of $208,100 a year.

Such a deal, already!

Vice President Biden showed why his Secret Service code name is King Faux Pas with this dilly:

“We’re off and running, but its going to get worse before it gets better,” Biden said.

Someone should have asked King Faux Pas this obvious follow up question: “Why not stop running until you are sure that you are headed in the right direction and not making things worse by running the wrong way?”

Of course, objective journalists in the liberal media would never get so cheeky with a major disciple of the new age Messiah. Doing so would be offensive and probably racist as well.

Excerpts from the report at Yahoonews (Reference 1):


WASHINGTON – The White House warned Sunday that the country could face a long and painful financial recovery, even with major government intervention to stimulate the economy and save financial institutions.

“We’re off and running, but it’s going to get worse before it gets better,” said Vice President Joe Biden, taking the lead on a theme echoed by other Democratic officials on the Sunday talk shows.

“At the end of the Obama administration’s first week, the party in power at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue sought to lower expectations for a quick fix despite legislation expected to pass by next month that would pump billions of dollars into the economy. Democrats also opened the door for even more government aid to struggling banks beyond the $700 billion bailout already in the pipeline.”

“These problems weren’t made in a day or a week or a month or even a year, and they’re not going to get solved that fast,” said Lawrence Summers, a top economic adviser to Obama. “So even as we move to be as rapid as we can in jolting the economy and giving it the push forward it needs, we also have to be mindful of having the right kind of plan that will carry us forward over time.”

“Republicans want the recovery package tilted more toward tax cuts and have questioned whether government spending programs will revive the economy in the short-term.

“I just think there’s a lot of slow-moving government spending in this program that won’t work,” House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said. “We can’t borrow and spend our way back to prosperity.”

Clearly, John Boehner has not seen the Dark Knight and is unaware of the magical powers that Barack Obama brings to the Oval Office.

Or to quote an intellectual, who works for Obama as an ACORN volunteer, “YES WE CAN!”

FREE AT LAST! Gitmo Thugs Back in Business With Al-Quaeda!

 

Satire By John W. Lillpop

Just as President Obama finished drafting Executive Orders to close Guantanamo Bay, outlaw torture, and otherwise make the world a kinder, gentler place for murderous Islamofascists, an unexpected outbreak of inconvenient truth blasted through the fog of delusion and denial which has blanketed the White House since 12:01 PM, eastern time, on January 20, 2009.

Only a free ticket to Caroline Kennedy’s U.S. Senate swearing in ceremony and subsequent inaugural balls would make less sense than BHO’s untimely, but predictable, actions with regard to Hotel Gitmo.

As reported by AFP at reference 1, in part:

“WASHINGTON (AFP) — Two men released from the US “war on terror” prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have appeared in a video posted on a jihadist website, the SITE monitoring service reported.

One of the two former inmates, a Saudi man identified as Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri, or prisoner number 372, has been elevated to the senior ranks of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, a US counter-terrorism official told AFP.

Three other men appear in the video, including Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi, identified as an Al-Qaeda field commander. SITE later said he was prisoner No. 333.

“We remain concerned about ex-Guantanamo detainees who have re-affiliated with terrorist organizations after their departure,” said Gordon.
“We will continue to work with the international community to mitigate the threat they pose,” he said.

On the video, al-Shihri is seen sitting with three other men before a flag of the Islamic State of Iraq, the front for Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

“By Allah, imprisonment only increased our persistence in our principles for which we went out, did jihad for, and were imprisoned for,” al-Shihri was quoted as saying.

Al-Shiri was transferred from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia in 2007, the US counter-terrorism official said.

The other men in the video are identified as Commander Abu Baseer al-Wahayshi and Abu Hureira Qasm al-Rimi (also known as Abu Hureira al-Sana’ani).

The Defense Department has said as many as 61 former Guantanamo detainees — about 11 percent of 520 detainees transferred from the detention center and released — are believed to have returned to the fight.

The latest case highlights the risk the new US administration faces as it moves to empty Guantanamo of its remaining 245 prisoners and close the controversial detention camp within a year. ”

——————————-

Asked to comment, a top Obama official said,

“President Obama is keeping his promise to bring Change to America. He did not promise that all change would be good–this may be a rare instance of “bad” change. Still as the president said so cleverly the other day, He Won and He trumps! Get over it, dude!”

And so it is as the Obama-ization of America continues unabated!

Mega Dittos, President Obama!

 

 

Satire by John W. Lillpop

In yet another bold move in a week of unprecedented executive action by an inexperienced community organizer in the White House, President Barack Obama abandoned several “old school” concerns harbored by the Bush administration in order to properly address more urgent threats.

Specifically, President Obama announced that his administration has managed to isolate Osama bin Laden to a few “hot spots” where terrorists are known to congregate, thereby taking the bin Laden crisis off the president’s Urgent Action calendar.

When pressed for details, the president referred the press to CIA Director Leon Pinetta who explained that the “hot spots” include Baghdad’s “green zone,” Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other Muslim states known to be sympathetic to the CEO of global Islamofascism.

Pinetta also indicated that sleeper cell neighborhoods in Detroit and South Chicago might be “of interest” in locating OBL, although further action would be dependent on convincing BHO to supersede his first Executive Order which dismantled W.’s unconstitutional, illegal, immoral, and secretive domestic wiretapping apparatus.

On a more cheery note, Pinetta declared that reports which allege that Osama bin Laden works as a fund raiser for CAIR in downtown Washington, D.C., at 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue, are “completely false and not worthy of further action or comment by the CIA or other federal law enforcement agency.”

With Osama-mania effectively muted, President Obama rolled up his sleeves and tackled some of the more critical issues on the day.

Namely, BHO took on Rush Limbaugh, Republicans who listen to El Rushbo, and unborn fetuses, those incorrigible rascals waiting to pop out and destroy the environment, the global economy, and the world’s food and water supplies.

As a result, Limbaugh, Republican listeners, and the unborn got a taste of presidential wrath of the type normally seen when a nasty boil shows up on the president’s bum, or when a lingering hang over, brought on by not having enough balls to say no to at least some of the balls spinning out of control in the wee morning hours, continues to haunt America’s main man several days later.

As reported by the New York Post and repeated below, in part:

“President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.”

With all due respect to the new president, getting “things done” is not in the best interests of America when the “things” are harmful to homeland security, national defense, the economy, and traditional family values.

Perhaps President Obama should stop listening to out of touch people like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and other clue less liberals?

Instead, Mr. president, why not try to catch Rush’s show which is on from 12-3 PM every day? Who knows, you might benefit from diversity of opinion and, with a little effort, might become the most famous “ditto head” in all of America!

President Obama also flashed a bit of competitive arrogance which indicates that he is probably better suited to arranging midnight basketball tournaments than serving as America’s commander-in-chief.

From the New York Post, this additional information, in part:

“In an exchange with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about the (stimulus) proposal, the president shot back: “I won,” according to aides briefed on the meeting. “I will trump you on that.”

“We are experiencing an unprecedented economic crisis that has to be dealt with and dealt with rapidly,” Obama said during the meeting.”

So, according to President Obama, in the event of an “unprecedented crisis” as defined by a Democrat president, the system of checks and balances built into our form of government is null and void?

Powers granted to the legislative and judicial branches of government under the Constitution are unilaterally trumped by the president when he has decided that he “won”?

Clearly, President Obama needs a crash course in Civics 101. Like three hours a day, from 12-3 PM, Eastern Time, for example.

All one needs, Mr. President, is an open mind and a reliable radio on which to listen to the man “with talent of loan from God, on a mission to educate and irritate liberals!”

Mega dittos, Mr. President!
