It's no longer a laughing matter
American Thinker ^ | May 4, 2009 | D.L. Hammack

Posted on 05/03/2009 11:19:47 PM PDT by Zakeet

When the new administration took over Washington and our smiling, community activist, leader took the oath of office, the chuckles began as we witnessed the most expensive inauguration in US history and the start of the transformation of America. I giggled -- initially. This idol-worshipped man with absolutely no background or experience became our new President. I laughed at how America had been taken for a ride.

When the President embarrassed America with his lame gift to the British Prime Minister, it was so sad it was funny. I giggled under my breath.

When the One could not convey any coherent text without the aid of his teleprompter, I snickered until I realized that these words were not his. If the machine failed, he was absolutely lost and could not find a meaningful conveyance with two hands and a flashlight.

When he then went on the apology tour of Europe; bowed to the Saudi king and shook hands with Hugo Chavez, I grinned, but the laughter was absent when I came to the conclusion that this man truly despises what America stands for.

When the new administration put out the plan for veterans to pay for their own health care, it started to get ugly. There was absolutely no humor left when I thought of these heroes coming back to American soil with the new administrations' welcome home gift. "Thanks guys and gals and for your eighteen months of life-threatening service, Johnny, what do we have for them?"

When Janet Napalitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security deemed returning war veterans and conservatives possible terrorists, it was no longer funny and it started to piss me off. We can no longer call the real bad guys terrorists. They get the moniker of Man Caused Disasters. But returning war veterans being labeled as Home Grown Terrorists?

Mr. President, you have the power to push buttons, but you're starting to push the ones that are going to send more and more Americans into opposition.

When the administration chose to publish the CIA interrogation memos jeopardizing the security of our soldiers and the willingness of all national security operatives to continue to do what they do -- all for political motivation, it became clear that they will stop at nothing to accomplish their ideological goals. Enough is enough! I can't even manufacture a whimper of humor anymore.

Now our leader has the audacity to take the bond holders and private investors in Chrysler to the woodshed and publicly threaten them into giving up their investment? "How dare they be so un-American as to want more of their investment dollars back?"

It's no longer funny. This is serious. What was initially a comedy of errors and gaffes is now becoming a serious threat to our security, our economy and our way of life.

Initially, I thought that this guy would float his trial balloons aimed at taking us to the left... test the waters, so-to-speak. He did. We watched. When nobody shot these balloons down, or stood up to the radical changes he proposed, he and Rahm became even more brazen.

Initially, I thought that regardless of his left-leaning motivations, he surely would not endanger the people of America or cause them undue hardships as a result of his desires? How wrong I was! This man...the administration couldn't give a damn about the people or their suffering, as long as it advances their agenda and creates a future throng of democratic voters who are addicted to the state. It's time for us to recognize that this President, his cabinet, his staff, his Supreme Court appointees all have a common interest and that interest has nothing whatsoever to do with the people of this country.

Until we wake up and see this charade, this façade called the administration of change, we will continue to dig a hole so deep that no manner of "change" will allow us to escape from the policy mandates this President will force upon us. Wake up America, or one day we will wake up and see an America that we no longer recognize or want to be a part of. Those of us who recognize what is going on will continue to speak out to make people aware and we will continue to be singled out by the administration; vilified if necessary, as they continue the process of steamrolling America to accomplish their agenda.

The real problem is the article did not embellish or exaggerate. These are my sentiments, but I am not nearly as optimistic as the author.

It is definitely not a laughing matter. We need Republicans in the House and Senate to start slowing down this nightmare, and hopefully we get one of those bodies back in 2010.

Yes, we have a man who hates our country leading it.

When the One could not convey any coherent text without the aid of his teleprompter

Mike Barnacle, who for some reason still gets work on the air via a "commentary", was on the other morning. His summation was that Obama is great because he's "intelligent--something that can't be said of most of his critics."

When I hear that kind of thing, I do what I did the other morning--turn off the radio and read a book.

The mass hypnosis machine is definitely working. I don't know for how long, but I'm exhausted from shouting that the emperor has no clothes. I am thinking I'll just wait until people figure it out for themselves, which they'll have to, anyway.

We need Conservatives in the presidency and the senate. Republicans have lost their way.

Gee, I never hear any of this on CNN. Maybe this Obama guy doesn’t really walk on water.

The same breathless urgency as heard before the election. True then and true now. So what?

I wonder what the next atrocity will be that people claim is the last straw.

Dear Friend of the Constitution,

The biggest political cover up in American history
is taking place right before our eyes.
Worse than Watergate, Whitewatergate, or any of the other cover ups of previous administrations, is the question of whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States of America... OR, is he a FRAUD, a USURPER, a man with no legal authority to sit in the position that he now claims to hold?

Barack Obama could simply put the issue to rest right now by releasing his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE! But he WON’T! Instead, he has had teams of attorneys all over the country, fighting “tooth and nail” to thwart the efforts of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF), and our allies in a number of states to compel him to produce an ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE and to prove that he is Constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States!

HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP
DON’T LET HIM RIP THE CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS

Why weren’t the airplanes that flew over New York shot down?

Where was our Muslim president==didn’t he (HUSSEIN Obama) take an oath to protect us, or is that a new apology? It seems like HUSSEIN doesn’t give a flying fig about America or it’s citizens.

Ha! Barry DOES think it’s a laughing matter and he’s laughing at anyone who would be Christian or want to preserve the Constitution and see this country survive in a way that bears any resemblence to the way our founders envisioned.

Yes, but we have a God who loves this country and has blessed it, and is waiting patiently to be called upon once again as its TRUE Leader!!

HolyO is just dust in the wind compared to Him!
