Democrats and their media lapdogs labor mightily to sustain and reinforce the image of Obama the cool, clam, authoritative, brilliant, serious, likable, man of destiny. But ridicule is the most powerful solvent on earth. And a false gravity, once punctured, dissipates with the breeze. Barack Obama's political glass jaw is the illusion of gravitas that was successfully sold to enough Americans to get him elected. His stentorian deep voice persuades many, never mind the pablum of vague clichés he dishes out. Rush Limbaugh brilliant punctures the illusion by speeding up the tape and raising Obama's register when he plays excerpts of the president speaking. Minus the deep voice, with an altered rhythm no longer hypnotically caressing the listener, the banality of the actual words becomes clear.
For a man acclaimed as the greatest orator since Daniel Webster, how many people can quote even one memorable phrase from one of his speeches? "Acted stupidly" doesn't count, because it came in a press conference not a speech.
What Rush Limbaugh's audio wizardry does to Obama's voice, the Joker Poster artist does with Obama's mien. Minus any racial signifier, Obama suddenly loses a certain gravity. Add in the huge made-up smile, and it becomes clear that a massive joke has indeed been played on the American people. Watch the following YouTube re-creation of an Obama speech, as given by the Joker Poster: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ8L0RE2Axs&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fiowntheworld.com%2Fblog%2F&feature=player_embedded#t=97]
"After I do my Baghdad Bob impersonation, I go into my Vinnie Barbarino act. Who? What? Where?"
"DUH! Is this a trick question from one of those viscious MOMSTERS?"
"(Sob) I love hope and change."
"Under Obamacare I get a free high-tech penile implant with microscopic
cameras and remote video relays to wide screens in Planned Parenthood
offices....to make sure we Americans are using sanitary sexual organs.
Obama says this will save zillions on STD medical costs. "
"And with my sanitary Obamacare Penis-a-Go-Go, I never, ever have to use a
rolled-up sock again."
LEE "Pepperoni? DOC MAYER "Ummmmmm...I love it."
"Make that three double pepperoni pizzas, four gallons of Pepsi,
and three loaves of garlic bread. And deliver it in 10 minutes, after
I get rid of these annoying constituents. I'm starved. "
LEE "Time to party."
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
Now there is a fresh characterization.
>>> Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
I second that...
but Watch this to pick your favorite though!:

Oh please-—figure it out, why don’t you?
No staff member who left a president high and dry on a MAJOR policy can survive.
Obama was screwed over bigtime.....amnesty and other polices not yet revealed.........are also at risk.
Press secretary... NO QUESTION... because the Press is who he is gonna blame!
and the alternate media is who he is going after as a result!
Rahm and Axelgrease aren’t going anywhere. They are the ones who are running the show for Soros.
I’m weary about this “co-op” plan that the Pubbies may cave to. Is this a Trojan Horse to eventually get a “public option”?
Pressed Secretary!
hehe... under the BUS with no health care Pressed Secretary.
Dr. Death Emanuel will be the first to go.
Howabout all of them, along with Pelosi, Reid...
ROLL.
I’m not sure any of the big guys will go. But I suspect they will try to refine their attacks on the opposition, which really bombed this time. Be wary.
How will they do it? Easy. Obama has given ACORN billions of tax dollars to form a Civilian Security Force to silence the populace, and march us to reeducation camps.
Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome COS staff Rahm Emanuel are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage. If these two arch-manipulators perceive there isn’t measurable fear in the hearts of the people, they will create that fear to solidify their power. They know people will succumb to fear and will relinquish their God-given liberties when they are fearful.
==========================================
Obama's "healthcare reform scam" is just the tip of the iceberg. Here's a short list that is fueling America's spiraling rage.
There’s (1) Obama’s endless Czar politburo, (2) the loathsome Rahm Emanuel and Robert Gibbs, (3) Third World takeover (amnesty/illegals/La Raza/ Sotomayor), (4) smarmy Barney Frank posturing on finance issues, (5) letting Sen Dodd go scot-free w/ VIP mortgages,
(6) Obama's billion dollar financing of ACORN's Civilian Security Force, (7) trillion dollar bailouts of bonus-rich businesses vacationing at luxury resorts, (8) a self-absorbed jetlining Congress more concerned with perks and privileges than constituents’ concerns,
(9) Americans' disgust with being called Astroturf, The Brooks Brothers Brigade, being told to "get out of the way."
Do you think clam is an obvious typo? It kinda fits the secret background of Bama.
“Clam”——heh—nice catch.
There too many in his admin that also have secrets, including the loathsome COS Rahm.
And where did they dig up that idiot Gates? From a trash pile?
