Obama Miracle: Julio lands an announcing gig (Hail, "King Obama!")
Naples Daily News ^ | February 10, 2009

Posted on 02/11/2009 5:22:23 AM PST by maggief

LEE COUNTY — The guy who turned heads with his emotional plea to Barack Obama during a town hall meeting in Fort Myers landed a gig with the Fort Myers Miracle.

Julio Osegueda, 19, will will be the radio color announcer during the Miracle’s home opener on Friday, April 10 against the Charlotte Stone Crabs.

Osegueda has worked at a Cape Coral McDonald’s for four years. When Obama called on him to ask the final question Tuesday, he praised the Lord for Obama’s visit and asked the president about his plans to help increase benefits for people like him.

Loser.

I listened to that press conference, heard this guy whining, and thought, If he was able to think two coherent thoughts, he might actually have gotten another job. Since he obviously hasn’t gotten a better job than the one at McDonald’s he complains about, maybe there’s a reason. Maybe McDonald’s has fully exhausted his possibilities. He sounded as if he was not of normal intelligence, perhaps borderline retarded.

between this and the other instance of Obama kissing the black homeless woman who asked for his help, i feel like i was watching a FAITH HEALING service instead of a politician giving a speech. it’s mindboggling.

That's the implication Obama has created after just 3 weeks in office.

Good luck with that.

Rush nailed it - he said that the lady that needed a new kitchen would be on Oprah within 2 weeks getting her new kitchen.

He wasn’t sure what would happen to Julio but he had the concept right.

I wonder what happened to the pony tail guy from (2004 was it?) who wanted to know how the govt. would “take care of us”.

Had one idiot that said he was making $3600 a month when he got laid off and now was only getting $1100 A month unemployment, wanted to know when unemployment was going to be raised to match what he was earning.

Julio is a born loser. Anybody who would beg the President of the US for better benefits for WORKING AT MCDONALDS, is guaranteed to lose in life.

I’m not being hard, I’m being objective. Get a better job Julio, and quit crying about better benefits when you could afford to buy an Obama T.

The fact that he is being made to be the Leftists’ “Joe the Plumber” shows how bankrupt that the Left truely is. Julio is the Dems poster boy lol.

Rush was right. As usual. “Helen” or whatever her name was will be on Oprah, and Bambi will be out there compassionately healing the masses.

I was aghast when I heard Rush playing clips of these people yesterday, because at first I thought they were jokes, one of those little satirical skits that Rush runs. I almost had to pull the car over when I realized they were real.

Everyone has abilities to do productive work, even guys like this. However, when your abilities do not command a high amount of compensation, it is NOT up to the rest of us (or the employer) to subsidize that compensation.

I heard it too while driving and I thought it was a joke! Anyway Julio is a liar and a plant. He’s 19 and said he has been at McDonald’s for 4 yrs., ILLEGAL, against child labor laws! But maybe he really meant 4 months but was too caught up in the moment of meeting his cult leader.

Single “independent” women, who voted 70-30 for bambi,

voted for someone to take care of them and to keep their consciences clear about killing their babies.

Isn’t it ironic, these “independent” women who loudly proclaim how they “don’t need a man”, reflexively vote for gov’t to take care of them instead of focussing on how they can take care of themselves?

This is such revolting Kabuki theater.

The kid is only 19 now, so presumably he started working at MacDonald's when he was 15 years old and worked there through high school.

Under Florida law, when he was 15, he wasn't even allowed to work more than 15 hours a week when school was in session.

What particular "benefits" would this high school kid be crying about not receiving? Three weeks' paid vacation, 401K with employer contributions, a company car?

What complete soap opera BS.

No, it’s not illegal. My daughter got a job at McDonald’s when she was 15. My son has a job lined up as a pool lifeguard this summer, and he will be 15.

Now my husband is hoping Obama comes to our town so he can get a job playing short stop for the White Sox.

Oh, I think it’s awesome.

We have a lot of points of comparison. Two in particular, now:

Palin crowds: “USA! USA! USA!”
Bammi crowds: “WE WANT PIE! WE WANT PIE!”

Joe the Plumber: I want to open my own business and employ people, your policies thwart that.

Julio the Flipper: What are YOU going to do to make my employer give me more benefits?

THE PONYTAILED GUY: The focus of my work is domestic mediation, is meeting the needs of the children that I work with by way of their parents and not the wants of their parents, and I ask the three of you, how can we as symbolically the children of the future president expect the two of you, the three of you to meet our needs?

“Reason will be replaced by Revelation. Instead of Rational Law, objective truths perceptible to any who will undergo the necessary intellectual discipline, Knowledge will degenerate into a riot of subjective visions... Whole cosmogonies will be created out of some forgotten personal resentment, complete epics written in private languages, the daubs of schoolchildren ranked above the greatest masterpieces. Idealism will be replaced by Materialism. Life after death will be an eternal dinner party where all the guests are 20 years old... Justice will be replaced by Pity as the cardinal human virtue, and all fear of retribution will vanish... The New Aristocracy will consist exclusively of hermits, bums and permanent invalids. The Rough Diamond, the Consumptive Whore, the bandit who is good to his mother, the epileptic girl who has a way with animals will be the heroes and heroines of the New Age, when the general, the statesman, and the philosopher have become the butt of every farce and satire.”

~W.H. Auden 1944~

Wow - thanks for that link - it’s truly a miracle.

BTW - while listening to Rush - I realized that it’s not like she needed a new “kitchen” i.e. she was sick of her cabinetry and countertops - I realized that this was Henrietta’s way of saying that she didn’t have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of. But Rush was portraying it as someone who had Corian and wanted to upgrade to granite. But of course that’s the beauty of Rush - the man’s an absolute genius at what he does.

Thanks for the link!
