I feel MUCH better now, don’t you?

Poor Obama. We were starting to worry about his mental health. After parties with rockstars and actors, watching soccer and going to baseball games, he has to, like, work and stuff. This “work” involves such things as flying to Ohio to deliver a 10-minute speech (that cost taxpayers $500,000 – $1,000,000 and cost local construction workers a day’s pay) and ordering Louisiana to stop building sandbars that would stop the oil spill from reaching shore. He’s even decided it’s time to declare war… on Arizona. We’re sure glad he’s taking care of himself and giving himself four, sometimes five hours to play golf (38 rounds so far since he took office!) and “clear his mind“. According to White House Spokesman Bill Burton, Obama having time to golf “probably does us all good.” He’s even looking for golf courses up in Canada where he’s supposed to be attending the G8 summit. If Obama’s idiotic decisions are all good for us, we’d hate to see what kind of decisions he’d be making if he wasn’t so well rested.

Slick!

More evidence is trickling in that our assessment of Obama’s intentions in the gulf oil spill was right on the money: he wants there to be a big environmental disaster. There’s no other way to explain these headlines:

• Obama’s Spill Recovery Chief Will Only Work Part-Time
• Federal Gov’t Halts Sand Berm Dredging
• Obama spill panel big on policy, not engineering

Those kids these days

What’s with today’s youth? When they’re not running afoul of school weapons bans by wearing a hat with little green army men holding — gasp! — tiny plastic guns, they’re holding un-nutritious bake sales to raise money for school activities. The horror! Some kids are also finding themselves on the FBI’s no-fly list, though the FBI won’t explain why this 6-year-old girl is on the list.

Parents are even getting into the act, getting into a fight at a kindergarden graduation. We’re still perplexed that there’s even such a thing as a kindergarden graduation, but that’s another story entirely.

How’s that gun ban working out for you Chicago?

Chicago has one of the most restrictive gun bans in the nation. The long and short of it is, you are not allowed to own or possess a firearm inside the city limits of Chicago, no matter who you are, for any reason. This ban was enacted to supposedly make Chicago safer. Last weekend, 54 people were shot across the city, 10 of whom died. Gee, is there some truth to John Lott’s research that when you have more guns you have less crime? Ask Chicagoans. We bet they’d agree.

More borscht, comrade?

Something odd is going on with our relationship with Russia. Pay attention folks. Look at these headlines:

• Obama administration secretly working with Russia to limit US missile defense shield
• Russian President Medvedev sees chance for new world order
• Medvedev Promotes Ruble to Lessen Dollar Dominance
• Putin boasts new jet fighter better than U.S. F-22 Raptor

Combine those clips with what we know about Obama’s dislike for America being the world superpower, and you have a recipe for the ruination of the United States.
