I was born in 1938.....

[Warph]

I was born in 1938, which means that during my lifetime 13 men have been president of the United States.  For a few of those years, I was a Democrat.  As was the case with Ronald Reagan, I never feel I had left the party, but that the party had gone stark raving mad and left me.

By and large, I don't find the baker's dozen to be overly impressive, either as leaders or as individuals.  There are only three or four of them I can even imagine being friends with or wanting to have as next-door neighbors.  But there are only two of them, Carter and Obama, whom I regard as unmitigated disasters.  While it took Carter four years in office and 29 years out to achieve his greatly deserved recognition as an incompetent, a phony and a sanctimonious anti-Semite, Obama has pulled it off in just a few short months.

He has managed this by displaying his general incompetence by surrounding himself with clowns like Joe Biden and Rambo Emanuel; the seriously corrupt, such as Bill Richardson and sick bastard Tom "who wanted to drop healthcare for the elderly" Daschle; and too many tax cheats to list in the space available.

Obama has also proven himself to be a liar of such proportions that if he had started out life like Pinocchio, his nose by this time would stretch from sea to shining sea.

This narsissistic egomaniac has fibbed about everything from barely knowing Bill Ayers to never listening to a Jeremiah Wright screed, from banishing pork and lobbyists to providing transparency and change we can all believe in.  On top of all that, while spouting the usual political piffle about economizing and saving the environment, he hosted the largest, most expensive inauguration in history, and from the way he and his posse jet around on the fuel-guzzling Air Force One, you'd think he was a rock star.  Rock star my ass.

All of that would be no more or less than business as usual, Washington style, if he weren't also working overtime to simultaneously bankrupt the country and turn America into a socialist state patterned after Castro's Cuba.

The scariest part of all this is that so many sick Americans continue to root him on.  Those of us who are opposed to his agenda are accused, like Rush Limbaugh, of hoping America fails.  Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth.  What we're hoping for is that America can somehow survive this frontal assault on our freedoms, and that our economic system can remain basically intact in spite of the combined efforts of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd and Geithner, to destroy it.  And destroy it they will!

When I hear people in and out of the media who should get down on their knees and thank God or at least their ancestors that they were lucky enough to be born in America, instead parrot left-wing insults about this country, I want to slap them silly.  I sometimes wonder if those folks who, in the 1950s, nattered incessantly about the Communist-inspired fluoride conspiracy were right.  Perhaps there was something in the water that turned so many brains to mush.  I mean, why else would so many Jews be so utterly convinced that Barack Obama is the messiah we've been waiting for?  Shades of "Left Behind!"

For what it's worth, now that the president has fired CEO Rick Wagoner and taken over General Motors, do you suppose it will henceforth be called Commander in Chief Motors, and that Cadillac, Buick and Chevrolet, will be re-named Michelle, Natasha and Malia Ann?  Would you buy a new car from this CLOWN?  Which reminds me, it's still nothing but a rumor that Obama fired God earlier today, claiming that the universe isn't big enough for both of them.
 
Although I am not usually given to omens, I can't help feeling it means something that the next presidential election will take place on November 6, 2012, the day before Gen. David Petraeus turns 60.

I, for one, can't think of a more appropriate birthday present for the man and the nation than giving him a well-deserved promotion

WARPH, AWESOME,you should be doing a column for a major newspaper group. This is one of your best. Keep up the good work, with people like you we might still survive the Socialsts/Communists efforts  to destroy this great nation.

Warph did you write that post? It is a good post. It does say "I" in the post , but you have stated before that if the  post is yours and not an article you sign it with Warph. Either way, I agree with my Uncle Frank you should be writing a column. It might cut into your golf game though. Thanks, SuperWarph.

Diane I missed that when I read it. I really like the term of "political piffle". I am going to work that in to my vocabulary.

Spot on, Warph.

HEY!  Look back somewhere on the forum.  I was the first one to suggest that Warph have his own column, huh Warph.  Remember you said you didn't have time because of your golf game and the nineteenth hole bit.  HUH? HUH?

Anyway, I agree that you are spot on with this one.   Thanks for the post. 

March 24, 2009---- Completely away from this subject, I would like to NOMINATE WARPH TO HAVE HIS OWN CATEGORY.  He has a real sense of what is going on in the world.  So maybe there should be a separate category just after POLITICS that is entitled "WARPH SAYS".  Any seconds?        Larryj

I do have one small question though...the inauguration...I though the money for all that, parties and all, was donated except for the extra homeland security money from the city of Washington. I had read articles for quite awhile about the inauguration committee and their fund raising efforts of some 40 to 50 mil. I know all the people in the parade paid their own way. It looked in the article like the tax payers were being soaked. What's wrong with big business and corporate sponsorship? I thought the new presidents were the honored guests, not the hosts.

Diane, didn't he run on a platform of change, saying that he was going to eliminate lobbyists and have an ethical adminstration? 

While I understand the historcial significnce of his election, the inaugration was way overblown.  At a time when the country is in an economic crisis he goes and spends 40-50million on a party?

[Diane Amberg]

The money was being raised before the election, but I thought it could have been smaller too. I guess big business will do what it wants.
