The Barack Obama Experience — Taxes: Bold as Love

By Doug Powers  •  September 7, 2010 10:26 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

On Monday I wrote a bit about President Obama’s now semi-notorious “they talk about me like a dog” line that was supposedly improvised during a speech in Milwaukee.

As it turns out, some intrepid researchers are speculating that Obama might have been channeling a line from the Jimi Hendrix song “Stone Free.”

I was skeptical at first, but it kind of makes sense, because another line in that song is “I got to, got to, got to get away” — perfect for somebody who just came off several weeks worth of vacations.

Not only that, but the Hendrix song “Spanish Castle Magic” would cover the first lady’s Antoinette-esque trip to Costa del Sol.

“Hey Joe” creates a nice parallel with Vice President Biden, and “Purple Haze” has the SEIU written all over it.

If that’s not enough, Obama is left-handed, and so was Jimi. I’m officially creeped out!

If you’re still not convinced, consider the fact that Jimi Hendrix once also recorded a song called “I will not extend the Bush tax cuts” — or so I hear.

    Brilliant!!

    I immediately thought of “Stone Free” when I read B. Hussein Obama’s comment the other day.
    Glad I was not alone.

    They talk about me, like a dog
    Talk about the clothes I wear
    But they don’t realize…
    They’re the ones who are square
    And that is why….

    This whole business gives me an idea for what me a fine moniker for Obama. If you recall the dictator and voodoo-drenched “Papa Doc” of Haiti, a country whose condition we will be emulating, I think “Papa Dog” fits the president perfectly.

    We might all wish that were so. Hendrix was an Airborne trooper.

    Obama pare was a serial woman abuser, bigamist, alcoholic Communist who killed himself…probably after taking some other people’s lives.

    I think Jimi’s song “Are You Experienced?” is relevant to Obama’s presidency, too.

    Michelle’s trip to the former Islamic Caliphate, touring of Islamic “castles”, and meeting with meetings with several high-powered Arabs was all part of the Obamas’ endorsement of the Cordoba Initiative.

    (For those who don’t already know, the Cordoba Initiative is the group behind the Ground Zero mosque.)

    You meant “Wind-Power/Alternatve/Solar/Geothermal Ladyland”, right?

    Public sentiment about the US government is at an all time low. Most Americans are close to ready to take up torches and pitchforks to march into DC, not just republicans. Though Obama is leader of the clown brigade, it’s not just about him.

    It was a wink to Eric Holder. Holder is a big Hendrix fan — “Purple Haze” is one of Holder’s favorite songs. They are under siege for their policies and Hendrix’s jaunty tunes provide relief from “Washington politics poison”:

    On January 11th, a few weeks before his plans for a trial [in Manhattan] fell apart, Holder flew to Boston, to preside over the installation of a new U.S. Attorney. That evening, he returned to Washington in the Justice Department’s Gulfstream jet. Holder, who had jokingly lamented that such perks wouldn’t last forever — “I’m missing it already!” — sat down, put on headphones, and blasted one of his favorite songs, Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze.” Holder, who is fifty-nine, seemed determined not to let the tensions of Washington politics poison his mood. He was equally determined not to capitulate on the idea of holding a 9/11 trial. “I don’t apologize for what I’ve done,” he told me at one point. “History will show that the decisions we’ve made are the right ones.”

    They are the ones the world has been waiting for. :shock:

    Right. Sorta like how history has shown that Lenin, Stalin, Mao, FDR & Jimmy Carter were right?

    A couple of years ago I noticed that the adolescent socialists likely took “Yes, we can” from a one-time line inserted into the refrain in the ?”return”? (don’t know what it’s called, but occasional late 60s – early 70s songs had one) after the end of the CSN&Y song “Chicago – We Can Change the World”:

    We can change the world
    We can change the world – Yes, we can
    We can change the world
    Etc….

    Didn’t Bambi’s line about Americans being mutts come from the movie Stripes?
    If I were more tech savvy,I could find the answer myself,but when it comes to PCs,I’m still a moron..Kind of like Bambi when it comes to the economy or health care, foreign relations, the Constitution, energy, bowling, umbrellas…
