Tune in the news shows any Sunday morning - or MSNBC anytime 24/7 - and you’ll hear some pundit bleating about how Barack Obama is the next Reagan, or FDR or even the next Lincoln. The guy hasn’t been sworn in yet, and they’re already measuring Mt. Rushmore to see if there’s room for (as the Obama plate TV ads put it) “his confident smile and kind eyes.”
Sorry, guys. Not even close. America didn’t elect the next Churchill or Cicero. We elected President Santa Claus.
I’m not saying this just because St. Nick and the sainted Barack both smoke. While Obama is the first smoker in the White House since Gerald Ford our president-elect says he is trying to quit, and pledges not to light up at work.
No, Obama may not shake when he laughs like a bowl full of jelly, but he’s got something even Santa doesn’t have: the taxpayers’ trillion-dollar toy sack. Listening to Obama Claus listing his “stimulus package” goodies this weekend, I could almost see the Democratic Party’s key constituents lining up to climb into his lap, visions of plum contracts dancing in their heads.
Billions for new roads and bridges. Billions for school renovation and “greening” public buildings. Billions more to extend high-speed Internet access. And every gift comes wrapped in an expensive, Davis-Bacon Act labor contract sure to help “spread the wealth,” if not taxpayer cheer.
Some estimates project the Obama Claus stimulus plan could cost as much as $1.2 trillion. That’s on top of the $7 trillion or so we taxpayers are already on the hook for in bailouts to AIG, Citi, GM and the other businesses stranded on the Island of Misfit Management.
Like the real Santa, Obama has...

There’s a reason I like Michael Graham.
Ooohhhh GOODY! Lots of friends of the President contractors make millions while the working scum get’s $8 a hour! Typical Chicago style!
Yay! Our economy will be rocking!
“Obama famously said during the primaries that Americans could no longer “drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times.” And according to the San Francisco Chronicle, Obama’s economic proposal includes mandatory “smart meters” in every building for those naughty Americans still using too much energy. In some places, these meters are accessible remotely, allowing the government to monitor your energy use and adjust it for you “as necessary.”
Wow, it seems another person named Hussein would have magic buttons that “gave” and took away his citizens things like energy and such.
What was his first name again? S? S... Saddam! That’s it!
I didn't even think twice about it till I started reading the article.

General Electric Chairman Owen Young, circa 1932 said regarding the government planning of the economy involved, "the voluntary surrender of a certain amount of individual freedom by the majority and the ultimate coercion of the minority."....
Graham doesn’t realize that this was his LAST column ever, and that his body will be found in Boston’s version of Fort Marcy Park. Just like the margarine commercial, “It’s Not Nice to Fool with the Messiah”
“...already measuring Mt. Rushmore to see if there’s room...”
Only the slackers are measuring Mt. Rushmore; the True Believers are ready to make editorial alterations to the New Testament.
More like Will Ferrell as Buddy the elf.

Make me puke....
Not even the fact that the guy may truly not be a qualified American citizen to be President, is that at least 2 of the 3 names mentioned were AMERICANS, as in they were as the founders were, intent on upholding the US Constititon and being well American. Obama on the other hand is a dedicated Socialist and that is as far from being an American as you can get and would make both Lincoln and Reagan sick at the thought that some moron would compare them to Obama...
It is laughable to compare this non-person to Reagan...he couldn’t come close on his very best day. I am offended by this claim being made by the bleating sheep in the media. “Kind eyes”? More like, EMPTY eyes. Creepy.
THIS man (That One) may very well be another FDR- too bad for us. History might have re-made FDR as a great president, but he was not. He took a recession and turned it into a 10 year disaster and spread it globally. Yup- he just might be another FDR...
In foreign policy, That One will probably be another Jimmy Carter. Again- too bad for us. Is everyone practicing their “duck and cover”?
The bleating sheep are making all kinds of claims to raise this fraud into immortality, but the real reason they are lifting up their lattes to toast him is the one they dont want to say: he is the first black POTUS.
To admit that is to admit they are obsessed with race, but they are, and we are not. I can not get caught up in the historical significance of America electing its first black POTUS because he is a Marxist, a nefarious, lying creep, a pro-Arab, anti-defense, anti-capitalist, duplicitous infanticider, a cold-hearted misogynist, surrounded by racist anti-semites.
He has decieved a large part of the country by concealing the records of his life, and is far from worthy of monuments or holidays- he isnt even qualified under the Constitution to BE the POTUS.
America didn’t elect the next Churchill or Cicero. We elected President Santa Claus.Whoopee! Now I'll get that pony!
More like O’s the anarchist in chief.
Condoning the illegal occupation of the glass plant in Ill. was a dangerous thing to do.
But then, that’s what community organizers do.
He didn’t fall far from Jesse Jackson’s tree.
I've been calling him SantaBama for a couple of weeks.
Wonder if he'll show up for the inauguration his coronation in a red suit...
You have said it perfectly.
I will NOT be watching on Inauguration Day- this will be a black day for all of us.
