Obamas Trash Family Values

The first day on the job, President Obama flaunted his far left liberal colors  at the "Swinging" Inaugural Ball. Sources close to Michelle and Barack say the couple has an army uniform fetish.

http://www.latimes.com/media/photo/2009-01/44623141.jpg

Look out Michelle! There's some Executive-Legislative chemistry between Obama and Pelosi

A picture speaks a thousand words. It looks like somebody, i mean some bodies, (Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama) have a bad case of ELS (Executive-Legislative Sexual tension.)

 

 

Baratunde Thurston (barely) Reacts to Obama

Baratunde Thurston of Jack n Jill, The Onion, and Laughing Liberally and voter suppression wiki watching results at 23/6 party. He's a little low key, but whatever.  Baratunde Thurston is probably one of the best people to be with when you hear that Obama is our president. Gotta run, so this is just a sample! Better QUALITY version coming soon

Obamo-flage

I figured out how to help Obama win the election: wearing this hat! What can assuage the fears of Obamaphobes more than a camouflage baseball (American pastime) hat (made in America), embroidered with an Obama for President logo and an American Flag. The hat will subliminally convince people that Obama is America is the military is national security. Honestly, we can keep our Obama For President French Berets, pride rainbow Obama-Biden fedoras, and Obama 08 tie-died hair wraps. But let's where these at home. In public, e should try to put out best hat forward.

My plan is to walk through all the swing states with this hat on. It will be a sort of Forrest Gump with a mission (other than winning an Academy Award and whitewashing U.S. history). And I'll walk, I won't run, because running is terrible for you. Think "Walk, Katie, Walk"/ "Win Obama, Win!"

I think a whole line of Obamoflage could really help the campaign. I'm thinking some hunting vests, riffle satchels, binoculars, jackets, full piece suits

I hope the McCain campaign doesn't catch on and put out a McCain Peace line. Imagine McCain '08 hemp bracelets, McCain for President soy milk, or McSame recycled paper.

FYI, I did not, contrary to popular belief, make this hat or have it made. I find it in a place called America. (83rd and Broadway in Manhattan)

Who Knew? Hillary is Hilarious!

OK. I promised I wouldn't cry. And this time I didn't. But I was moved by Hillary's speech and I was thrilled when she asked her "supporters" (ie McCain fans in Hillary fans' gear):

 

 

I want you to ask yourselves: were you in this campaign just for me? Or were you in it for that young Marine and others like him?

This, of course, sums up the basic idea that Hillary "supporters" who are "supporting" for Hillary by ignoring Hillary's plea to support Obama are either fake or idiotic. I will have a good story tomorrow about my run in with PUMA peops. I will also have a great photo of me with a Republican! It's a surprise.

Bill Clinton lip syched I love you. I wonder who he was saying that to...

It's official. Michelle Obama looks great in every single color under the sun. Wow! We've seen her in purple, green/blue, and, tonight, beige! And she pulls every one off. Wow.

Oh, above is the photo of me and my new BFF Mich!

Forgot to mention the big take-away message from Michelle speech last night: I HAVE To marry into the Obama family. Not sure how, but will keep you posted.

I Heart My Dear friend Michelle Obama

 

I always thought I had a spiritual connection with Mich, but now that I've actually met* Michelle Obama, I know I have it. In all seriousness, she is awesome. Here is what I learned from her speech today, which I saw live!!! in Denver:

Michelle was a really fat baby! I love fat babies. They are the cutest. [photos coming soon. But trust me. Chubby cheeks]

Michelle used to be anti inter-office action. Michelle used to have a firm no office booty policy. But Barack was determined.

The way to Michelle's heart is though her stomach/ ice cream is Michelle's aphrodisiac of choice. In a video before Michelle's speech, Barack revealed his game plan: his "big move" was inviting her for some post office-picnic ice cream.

Michelle looks amazing in every single color. The purple looked great and the green blue she wore tonight looked amazing. Try getting away with those colors, Cindy! You'll look even more corpse-like than usual.

I promised I wouldn't cry! But I did. No political speech has ever made me cry. But this one did. I teared up a few times, but the mascara didn't run until Michelle said:

 

He's the same man who drove me and our new baby daughter home from the hospital 10 years ago this summer, inching along at a snail's pace, peering anxiously at us in the rearview mirror, feeling the whole weight of her future in his hands, determined to give her everything he'd struggled so hard for himself, determined to give her what he never had: the affirming embrace of a father's love.

 

Oy. I'm all feklempt again. More tomorrow... including celebrity sitings.

* I saw her from the third floor of Democratic National Convention at the Pepsi Center in Denver. But that's like meeting.

Obama Pound: In Historic Moment, White People Exposed To “Fist Bump” For First Time

The Obama pound, exchanged between Michelle and Barack on Tuesday night, marked a historic moment. Yeah, there's that whole first black nominee for president thing. But more significant, is the fact that the greeting which has been described by confused white journalists as a "fist bump," "closed-fist high-five," "a frat-tastic fist bump" and a "'Hezbollah' style fist-jabbing" is finally being introduced to mainstream culture. The introduction of "The Pound" into our national vocabulary will have ripple effects. It already has. People previously unfamiliar "the pound" are seeing the world in a whole new way. For instance, they should now realize that when the New York Times' Ashley Parker wrote about Reggie Love "offering closed-fist high-fives to members of the news media…." she was not describing a painful caveman greeting, but said pound. (I think the Times owes Reggie a correction.) I can't find an official history or definition of the pound, but here is what I found on Ubrandictionary.com
  1. pound: a greeting between two mutual friends. In reality, a fist from one person is "pounded" against the fist of the other person, accompanied by both persons saying "pound."
  2. Pound: The knocking of fists as a form of greeting, departure, or respect see daps
  3. Dap: The knocking of fists together as a greeting, or form of respect. He gave me a dap when we greeted.
  4. dap: a fist-on-fist greeting, front-to-front as if each person is punching each other on the hand. He gave me a dap when we greeted
  5. dap: The Dap includes simple to very intricate series of rhythmic hand slaps, clasps, hand and arm gestures exchanged between two persons as a sign of personal greeting, respect and group solidarity. Has origin in greetings developed and practiced by members of Black Power organizations founded in southern California in the early 1970s and then became common place and outlawed practice among African-American draftees and soldiers stateside and abroad during the latter years of the Vietnam War. Was soon adopted by huge duck bill cap, suspender and knicker attired African-American street and club dancers who originated the dance known as "Lockstepping." Best known Lock Stepper is Fred Barry aka Rerun from the hit 1970s black TV sitcom, "What's Happenin'?" simplest of Daps is to tap closed fists together one time horizontally or vertically.
Emergency update! The Right Wing pundit who creatively described the pound between Michelle and Barack as "'Hezbollah' style fist-jabbing" must have read my post. His blog post no longer contains the following sentence:
"Michelle is not as "refined" as Obama at hiding her TRUE feelings about America—etc. Her "Hezbollah" style fist-jabbing—mouth-twisted anti-American speeches is STRAIGHT from ISLAM!"
Thank you for admitting you were wrong. I interpret your delete as an apology and I accept it.
