Captain Obonga to the Rescue!


sondrak.com

Captain Obonga, I mean President Obonga, has just completed his State of the Union Address. (He was rambling again and saying crazy things so I’m sticking with the Obonga nick name) I’m relieved. I have nothing to worry about now. Captain Obonga has got it under control. He’s going to fix the economy, government transparency, health care, the environment, the energy crisis, the nuclear power industry, education, bi-partisanship, government secrecy, foreign affairs, terrorism, actual government, the deficit, the Supreme Court decision of last week, ear mark abuses, the American spirit, both parties in congress, HIV, foreign relationships, the nuclear arms race, carbon emissions, the middle class, small business, protect us from the banking industry by punishing Wall Street and has already done so much.

How can a person not be in awe of Captain Obonga.

Especially when, according to his State of the Union address, he told us little guys, (he called us “they” and called Washington folks “we”) what he had accomplished so far. I didn’t know that he saved us from a second Great Depression?

Boy, I am so unappreciative. I didn’t know that he saved millions of jobs. I had no idea that 300,000 teachers were ready to be laid off but for Captain Obonga’s rescue efforts. I had no idea that he hadn’t raised my taxes. Of course I’m one of the “they” and am so naive that I believe that I will never have to pay off the national debt, not a penny of it Captain Obonga, right? And of course, he said “hadn’t” raised my taxes and although us “they” people are naive, we’re not illiterate.

We know the difference between “raise” and “raised.” And I’m definitely not not so illiterate to suggest that trying to raise my taxes through the health care bill, the proposed banking fee and Cap and Trade, is actually raising my taxes. You got me there Captain Obonga. You’re right, you didn’t raise my taxes-YET. By the way, can I get Scott Brown’s address to send him a thank you card?

I am so relieved. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Captain Obonga. I had no idea that the government, that failed to prevent a terrorist on the watch list whose father reported him as a radical without a passport from getting on a plane headed to Detroit with a bomb hidden in his underwear, no idea whatsoever that that government could fix everything else. The next thing you know they’ll be joking that the government can’t even keep strangers out of White House dinners? But you set me straight Captain Obonga. Thank you.

O.K., on a more serious note (although the first note was serious, I just utilized humor to demonstrate the seriousness, now I’ll get rid of the humor) was that a speech or what? Shoot, here comes the humor again. Captain Obonga is going to do everything. Pheewww! Say good bye to worries my little friends, I mean you American People. You “they” people.

O.K., O.K. O.K., I took a serious pill, so here goes, firm, fair and frank. The State of the Union address was a rambling cacophony of lies, misrepresentations, false promises, insincerity, rewriting of recent history, bragging, blaming, arrogance, ignorance, condescension, and otherwise consistent with a complete ripper of a marijuana fest. Thus, the “Obonga” nick name. We’ll call it a “BS”-afest instead.

Folks, he’s going to raise our taxes either directly or indirectly and has already done so with his deficit spending. Wait, small correction-maybe. He may have only raised our childrens’ taxes. Folks, he’s not going to endorse nuclear energy or off shore drilling. Folks, he has no desire to assist small business. He doesn’t even respect business for what it does. He said that all student loans would be forgiven in twenty years but in ten years if a graduate goes into public service. That’s right, we need more social workers and bureaucrats in our future than business people because social workers and bureaucrats are just so damn critical.

See folks, this is another window into Captain Obonga’s soul. He values government more than the private sector. And he doesn’t understand basic values either; like paying off your debt.

What in the world would justify a person to stop paying a debt if it’s not paid off? Shoot, that’s that pesky “keep your word” stuff. God that’s irritating. So what’s the big deal? I cut a deal, borrow some money for a four year degree which I actually spend six getting, drag the payments out for twenty years and then tell the lender that Captain Obonga told me I didn’t have to pay anymore after twenty years.

Wait, wait, wait. I thought of something. Why don’t I just grab a public sector job in let’s say year nine, work it for a year, stop paying which is absolutely justified since I’ll be doing something so critical to America, actually serving the public for America, like for example, collecting tolls on a turnpike, and then, when I’m free of my promise to re-pay my student loan, I quit my cherished public sector job and go into the private sector and stick the tax payer with the rest of my debt. So many possibilities.

O.K. Folks, now I’m really going to be serious, actually I have been. I was just using humor to exemplify how much of a joke the State of the Union Address was. Our president has never made a bottom line, hangs out with communists and terrorists, loves Government, big government, is a progressive democrat, wants to socialize medicine, (He said he’s not quitting in his pursuit of his anti-American Agenda (He didn’t say “anti-American” but it is)), has no understanding of the economy, nothing is his fault, and after listening to his speech, wants to run everything.

Prior to his address, it was suggested that the Obama Administration was going to do a “re-set” on its agenda due to the rapidly growing trend against them. The pundits got it half right. Obama did do a reset but not on his agenda. He did a reset on the focus button so that the picture we see is different than before, blurred; but the content, the actual content, is exactly the same.

Beware folks, this guy does not like us “they” people. But he’s afraid of us and that’s why he reached out last night and spun the focus button. He changed the focus to hide. What he didn’t change was the content of his ambitions which are very un-American. Only our ability to see it was changed. But folks, you need not worry. I know this guy and his ambitions will come back into focus sooner than you think, definitely by November.

That’s my Reetzality for the day.
Thanks for the read.

NOTE: I use the “Captain” title to remind folks of the Titanic, you know that unsinkable ocean liner that sank on its first voyage. Of course, America could never be like the Titanic.
