Why is Obama Marching all of a sudden? Is it to walk off all that WH beer?

Interesting. While Michelle Obama is busy telling America how to shop at the supermarket, the White House is putting out digital videos on Obama’s beer brewing program in the White House. At least the video below says it was his idea. But have you noticed all the Obama is “marching” headlines today?

I came across the beer thing while looking at the number of headlines and stories that all have Obama “marching” today. Yes, the meme probably starts with AP. But notice, they’re changed, or tweaked – but they all maintain the “marching” theme. To me, it’s a subtle invocation of Dr. Martin Luther King, while portraying Obama as if he’s on a noble quest of some kind – as opposed to, you know, just politicking in the Mid-west, while Louisiana is under water.

The media seems determined to have a second election about race and little else. That’s a tremendous disservice to the country and even to Obama himself. If he deserves re-election, let him win it. Don’t try to give it to him because he’s black. America deserves better than that at this point in her history.

    Huh. That’s the first picture I’ve seen where it looks like he’s actually drinking the beer. Usually, it’s a full glass and he’s making duck lips and touching them to the liquid.

    Now, I don’t blame him. With the whole world staring at you hoping to play ‘gotch’, I wouldn’t want to get likkered up, either, but it’s one of those things…once you notice it, you can’t help doing an images search to confirm.

    Too bad Willard’s cult won’t let him have a beer.

    The RNC Convention Made Us Think–How About You?”

    (Dedicated to “The Empty Chair”)

    Did you think it enough to be “likeable”?
    Did you believe it sufficed to be “cool”?
    You once promised command of the land and the seas,
    For four years you have played us for fools!
    Bernanke’s abusing his printing press, .
    Geithner (tax cheat) never had one good plan.
    And we found you’d betrayed us and lied to us.
    When you claimed we’d “unite” at your hands!
    You still haven’t a clue as to what to do,
    To make jobs, spend much less, calm our days.
    So you get up and turn on your Media whores,
    And go golfing in a Choom** induced haze.
    You made food stamps a “virtue”, you degraded our fisc*,
    You bowed lower and lower each day.
    To the tyrants and despots whose great goal in life,
    Was to kill the American Way.
    You said, “I’ll do it in three or I’m outta here”;
    Now you say “I just need another four”.
    Since you spit on our seniors and crippled our land,
    We’d be crazy to allow you do more!
    * Fisc = the treasury of a nation – see “national debt” rating downgrades.
    ** Choom = both a noun (marijuana) and a verb (“to smoke marijuana”)
    Barry Soetoro aka Barry Obama aka Barrack Hussein Obama aka … CREATED NEW WAYS TO GET HIGH. See, http://www.buzzfeed.com/gavon/

    Sorry, this doesn’t make him into a likable
    Dictator.

    So, he’s marching through the battleground states.

    Sherman marched to the sea, you know. Wasn’t too popular with the locals.

    I wonder if it’ll work out any better this time?
