   It’s also occurring to me with his “sorry about that, guys” apology and, oh, bumping his head on Marine One, trying to re-enter the White House from a window instead of a door, not knowing how many states there are during the campaign, naming Bill Gates his Secretary of Defense and other grand Obamateurisms (hat top: Hot Air), we have apparently elected Maxwell Smart as President of these United States.

   The fact that a teleprompter continues to be a running joke in the coverage of this administration, speaks volumes about the ventriloquist-dummy nature of this sock-puppet presidency.

   Thank God we have the unending “King of Pop” coverage to keep us diverted from the real train-wreck going on in Washington.

    It appears the TOTUS was striken by the hot air rushing out of the the Great Pontificator’s oral orafice. The more the Pontificator spoke the hotter the air and finally the hot air was hot enough to cause up currents from mixing with the cool air from the ozone destroying, green house gas producing air conditioning system in the Executive Office Building.

    The TOTUS tried in vain to stay at his post, but the hot air full of lies mixing with the cool air was too much for him to take. He lost his ability to balance when the big gusher of provarication about urban policy came across his screen and the hot air came rushing at him and he decided that prevent the Pontificator from provaricating anymore was the only thing to do for the good of his country. So in the tradition of the great Nathan Hale, he gave up his life so hopefully all would notice the deceptions at hand.

    Now we need to find out if the crashing glass fell on deaf ears?

    Papa Louie,

    Speaking of Jermaine Jackson, did you see/hear him sing “Smile” by Charlie Chaplin at the memorial service held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California a few days ago?

    I wanted to know what Jermaine did with the money his mother gave him for singing lessons. Did he buy candy with it instead of attend the lessons and pay the teacher?

    Is Jermaine Jackson tone deaf?

    I don’t think this will ever be “on topic” here. Apparently Michelle is fully convinced of Obama’s eligibility to be president.

    One White House staffer, speaking on condition of being scared for his or her life, noted that the President became slightly piqued when TOTUS scrolled forward in an apparent effort to get Mr. Obama’s remarks over with more quickly.

    Obama expected to speak in Warren on Tuesday
    By TODD SPANGLER • FREE PRESS WASHINGTON STAFF • July 10, 2009

    WASHINGTON — At what was originally billed as a town hall meeting in metro Detroit, President Barack Obama now is expected to travel to Michigan on Tuesday to deliver a speech at Macomb County Community College in Warren, the White House said today.

    The topic was not announced.

    Nor was the time — though it was clear from the press logistics that the event at the Robert E. Turner Advanced Technology Center would be after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, perhaps at 3 p.m.

    The speech is not open to the public and no other details were released. It will be Obama’s first visit to Michigan as president; he was last in the state during the 2008 campaign.

    AMERICAN PILE
    (with apologies to Don McLean)

    A long, long time ago…
    I can still remember a Congress that was not so vile.
    And they knew if they had a chance, they could put people in a trance, and maybe they’d shut up for awhile.
    But January made me shiver
    Had to drink until I hurt my liver
    Bad news in the White House, wasn’t just another louse

    I can’t say I felt any pride
    When I read about his angry bride
    But some thing hurt me deep inside
    The day the TOTUS died.

    (REFRAIN)
    So buh-bye, the TOTUS is toast.
    Watched Chevy get debt-heavy, and Chrysler can’t boast.
    And Congress laughed, downing whiskey and roast, singing “I’m as dumb as a post, I’m as dumb as a post”.

    Didn’t make the Summer of Love?
    And you believe in God Above? Then you’re a terror that’s homemade.
    Now do you believe in Cap and Trade?
    Do you need financial aid?
    And can we send another Afghan raid?

    Now I know the Left’s in love with him, ‘cause I saw the rantings of lgm.
    Then Obama left our sod,
    To give the Queen her own IPod.
    I am a middle-aged taxpayer,
    White collar, not a union brick layer
    Did not have a prayer, the day TOTUS died.

    We started singing…(REFRAIN)

    For two centuries, we’ve done OK
    Kept the faith and evil at bay
    But that’s not how it’s going to be.
    When the Gorester showed a silly slide show,
    He watched his profits grow and grow
    In a voice that bored you and me.

    While the world was doing a yawner
    The Gorester stole his first Oscar.
    All common sense was adjourned, and a Nobel was returned.
    And while Obambi read a book by Saul
    The economy slowed to a crawl
    And we couldn’t believe it all, the day the TOTUS died.

    And we were singing…(REFRAIN)

    Hocus Pocus, you’ll lose your focus
    The tax dodgers came with all their bogus
    Turbo tax mistakes and limos fast
    Each one more of a jackass
    A stimulus was the first to pass
    Each dollar spent, increasing the morass.

    Now in no time air was sweet perfume
    While CNN played an obedient tune
    Matthews’ tingle went up his leg, MSNBC had ratings to beg
    ‘Cause elephants tried to take the field
    Pelosi and Reid refused to yield
    No written bill was revealed, the day the TOTUS died.

    And we were singing…(REFRAIN)

    And then we were all in one place
    North Korea going into space
    With Iran left to taunt again.
    So Barack be nimble, Barack be quick, Barack with another trick
    ‘cause Rahm is the Devil’s only friend.

    Oh, I watched Him on the world stage
    Looked like a bow to the Saudi sage
    All the press as well, claimed that he just fell
    GM’s stocks fell from sight, the CEO told to fly a kite
    I saw Obama laughing with delight, the day the TOTUS died.

    And we were singing…(REFRAIN)

    I knew that I had the blues, so I turned on the cable news, Jacko was on night and day.
    I tuned in to listen to Rush
    Whom the FCC tried to hush and won’t give up until the final shush

    And in the streets, illegals groaned
    “They have rights,” the Dems bemoaned
    Congress went through more loops, trying to forget our own troops
    Looked for someone to be so brazen, Honest Abe or Ronald Reagan
    They left this world for a better haven
    The day the TOTUS died. And they were singing…

    You guys/gals are just too much – thanks for the laughter this morning. Just a quick question – can someone function with only one TOTUS or would they need a TOTUS transplant? Would Okeydokey need hormones or something in order to speak coherently? I was so hoping the sad loss of TOTUS would result in Okeydokey shutting the h-ll up! No such luck.

    Notice the hesitation, the broken phrasing, a trademark of Obama’s not so great seaking method.

    Smoking Gun? Time Will Tell!

    AP- WASHINGTON D.C. – In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the
    presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information” has Released copies of President Obama’s
    college transcripts from Occidental College .

    Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received
    financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school.

    The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court
    order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California ..

    The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded
    a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program.

    To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem
    to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking.

    Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for
    US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim.

    The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s
    legitimacy and qualification to serve as president.

    When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister
    Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue.

    Britain’s Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, “Obama Eligibility Questioned,”
    leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first
    official visit to the U.K.

    In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced
    that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility
    to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey .

    This lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president.

    Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s
    citizenship or qualification to serve as president.

    Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation
    of Obama’s campaign spending.

    This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with
    eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records.

    Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. .
    attorney general, Eric Holder.

    Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.

    LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS THAT THE MEDIA WON’T REPORT!

    WHY, YOU ASK, WONT THEY REPORT IT?

    BECAUSE IT WOULD IMPLICATE THEM IN THE GREATEST VOTER FRAUD IN HISTORY

    THE NEWS MEDIA HAS KNOWN THIS FACT AND A GREAT DEAL MORE FROM THE BEGINNING
    OF THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN

    THAT IS THE WAY SOCIALISM OPERATES. THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS

    I don’t believe any college records have been released, but this isn’t that complicated:

    Obama refuses to show his real birth certificate, and other records. What are the “other records”? They are anything that he would have had to answer these simple questions on:

    Where were you born?

    Are you a US citizen?

    It’s not to hard to see he’s hiding something. If it isn’t his eligibility to be president, what is it?

    I don’t believe he could remain president if it’s proven he wasn’t eligible…..and the chaos that would ensue upon his removal from the office would be a very small price to pay to get rid of an imposture who is wrecking America at warp speed.

    Here’s the deal. If you want people to engage you or take you seriously, check your facts and provide links. Americans for Freedom of Info does not exist. It’s a hoax. There is no article in Daily Mail or AP, and if there is a transcript, no evidence provided that Barry Soetoro = Dear Leader.

    This is a hoax flying around blogs and is less credible than the great Dan Rather Bush TX Air National Guard document drop.

    Stay focused please.
