This sounds suspiciously close to somebody's 2008 campaign promises. Take a look.

Read that this morning. We TiVo’d it, because we were watching the original last night. But I’m excited about this new one. Loved the old one. And very interesting timing.

“V” was produced back in the 80’s. Long before Obama came along.

Don’t ask me any questions that may shed me in a bad light-
Anna Obama!

It’s about as anti-Obama as Hollywood gets. But the idea in the show is that the aliens have been posing as humans for years causing “un-necessary wars and financial disasters” which you could take as a swipe at Bush. I think the producers are probably trying to satirize our society’s elites in general. I thought the show was ok but I don’t think the script mines this premise with enough wit.

Oh come on...the Obama administration has nothing to do with "V".

One of them is composed of a bunch of evil reptiles that appear human who have infiltrated America in order to destroy it and establish a one world government based on fear and domination. When their plan is almost complete they send a leader out who promises hope and change.

The other one is just a TV show.

Is ABC's new sci-fi show anti-Obama?

Well, James Carville shed his human disguise long ago and regularly appears like the reptile he is.

The show is about the aliens using slogans, the media and good old fashioned union-style thuggery to gain power, while making all sorts of promises of power, wealth and health for followers. It looks like Obama because those are the same things Obama used/is using for power. It would be hard make a "friendly" totalitarian takeover look unlike Obama.

I watched it. When the V leader promised everyone "universal health care" only after coercing the journalist to set aside his ethical principles "for the greater good", I about fell out of my chair. The whole thing was allegorically about Obama and his dangerous cult-of-personality - the message of "hope", the co-opting of the youth to spread the "word", the media manipulation. It was so blatantly anti-Obama, I'm surprised that it not only aired, but that they could convince so many actors to actually make the thing.

I hope that they don't soften the political overtones moving forward - it's really the only reason to watch.

The leader of the Vs, Anna (0bama), promised universal healthcare.

I am a bit surprised it got made.

But then, this is probably the same crowd that thought Lord of the Rings could be seen as a warning to GWB.

We watched the show last night with this in mind. I heard (and saw) a number of references that rung a bell with me as far as parallels comparisons to another alien (Kenyan specifically). The aliens offered "hope". They offered "changes" that would transform mankind. Anna (or her right-hand man) asked the newscaster man, "wouldn't it be better to forego principles (of journalism - hahahaha) for the "greater good?". Anna told the newscaster not to ask her any questions that would paint them/her in a bad light. Anna mentioned all the medical solutions they could offer to mankind, in which the newscaster said, "you mean universal healthcare so to speak?"

I'm sure there were other references made that I fail to mention, but the commonalities of the show and the liberalspeak we are hearing from Obama and Congress were too many to ignore.

Oh, and one other thing, when the renegade human group secretly met and the leader said that the lizard aliens had infiltrated everywhere much time ago and had caused many of the problems, wars, etc. faced in the past, in order to condition mankind to want a savior of sorts to appear and straighten out the mess, for some reason my thoughts immediately focused on how evil islam has infiltrated our every nook and cranny and now we have a closet muzzie in the highest office in the land. I hope that's one parallel that I'm totally wrong about.

Taking advantage of V, here’s my letter to the NY Post today:

Congressional Democrats better listen to the voter’s outrage and toss lizard queen Nancy Pelosi overboard or else become visitors in DC.

Reptilian Pelosi has squandered a trillion bucks on pork, sheltered tax cheaters from justice and produced a nightmarish bill for the government takeover of health care that the Wall Street Journal calls the worst piece of legislation ever.

Democrats don’t need an asteroid to hit earth to become extinct if they stick with botoxinated crocodile from San Francisco

Why “V” is not racist - except for being pro-human
By Tamara Wilhite

• “V” is about an alien race; Obama is (probably) a member of the human race
• The resistance in “V” is slaughtered by the aliens. Obama isn’t killing his critics yet.
• Aliens in “V” offer universal health care to both control and cure us so they can eat more of us later; Obama only offers universal health care to control us.
• The health care of the aliens in “V” actually cure injuries and illness of the sickest. Obama’s universal healthcare is a denial of care to the sickest.
• Alien health care is free. Obama’s is free, but the tax rate will kill you if the waiting lists don’t.
• The aliens want to mine minerals and harvest water. Obama thinks the Earth should be unsullied and turning off water to save fish is more important than dying crops and unemployed farmers.
• The main interviewer in “V” was surprised when told to only ask softball questions. Mainstream media interviewers volunteer.
• The interviewer in “V” believed in the principal of fairness. In real life, the reporter wouldn’t have.
• The fascists in “V” are planning on world domination. Obama only wants to dominate one nation.
• The aliens in “V” have infiltrated major religious groups and seek to guide them to their views. In real life, religious groups not already at the altar are second class citizens if not “bigoted” and “hateful”.
• The fascist aliens in “V” are beautiful and friendly. Except for Sasha and Malia, there are neither such people in the US Wanna-Be Dictatorship.
• The fascist aliens in “V” have simple titles like “leader”. Obama’s regime picks more negative words like “czar”.
• The fascist aliens have infiltrated our democracy but want to continue the façade of freedom. In real life, judges publicly overthrow and then chastise those who vote against the political elite.
• The fascists in “V” actually like babies. Sautéed or raw, but like them. Is this better than being a burden?
• The fascists in “V” have a better slogan, though they are just as hypocritical.
• The scripts for “V” were written during the Bush Presidency, but carry the classic elements of fascism through the story. Thus it was intended to call the Republicans, not the Democrats fascists. But if the shoe fits …
