Axelrod reports that Obama isn’t watching election results because he’s more interested in the Chicago Bulls game. Drudge reports that Michelle took the “First tweens” to a Miley Cyrus concert.

That all sounds about right.

If I was an eight year old boy that didn’t know how to do anything but campaign and then I conned my way into the White House only to completely fail because I’m in way over my head and had completely lied all along the way, I would hide in the media room and watch basketball on Spanking Night, too. I would also send my wife and kids out of the house so they didn’t have to see it all.

He’s not only immature, inexperienced and over-matched. He’s also been a very bad boy. It’s reckoning time. This is more fun than his Olympic humiliation in Copenhagen! (Yes, it’s personal for me. He’s totally and completely un-American in every possible way and I relish the failure of America’s enemies, foreign or domestic.)

As I write this – around 22:30 EST – there’s already been a total revolution in Virginia. The Democrats lost a full quarter of the electorate since Barry’s five point win last year. Don’t believe it when they blame it on Creigh Deeds, either. He’s incompetent to be sure, but that doesn’t explain the nearly 3-2 margin for the Lt. Governor and Attorney General or all the state legislature seats that also swung Republican.

Also at this moment, with three quarters of the votes in, Christie is up by 6 points in NJ. That may not hold but it’s absolutely astounding in such a corrupt and blue state. Whatever Christie ends up with, win or lose, in that vote you’ll have to add at least 2-3 points to his total to allow for all of the standard Democratic vote fraud in that state. (“It’s gettin’ so’s ya can’t trust an honest fix no more.”) It’s also double the margin predicted by the most Christie-optimistic polls, pre-election.

Now I’m going back to watching the tickers like the political junkie I am and giggling like a young girl at her first sleepover. But first, the standard disclaimer in case you don’t already know:

I’m not a Republican and I haven’t voted Republican in decades. It’s highly unlikely I ever will again. I don’t vote at all anymore and the last few times I did, I voted “third” party because it’s what I believe. Politics is a spectator sport that I watch with the same interest as football and boxing.

But I do so love to watch the childish, whiny brats that are the Democrat party get the spankings they deserve! It’s one of the few examples you’ll ever find of me engaging in schadenfreude.

I guess that’s why he has that gig where he lives in a fantasy world and defies the laws of physics.

Somebody, please tell the Obama-Pelosi-Reid cartel that they’re not at the North Pole and there are no elves. In this real world where the rest of us live, it makes no difference how hard you wish, you can’t just choose your own reality. (If that were possible, my wishes would have made some quick, drastic changes on their playground a long time ago.)

Everything the government has ever touched has turned to shit. This is an indisputable fact. Off the top of my head I’ll give you a few examples: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid – deep breath – shall I continue? USPS, Amtrak, AIG, GM … I could go on. If those feckless retards actually knew how to run a business they would get a real job instead of working part time while living high on your money.

Based on the wonderful track record they have with Medicare and Medicaid – which are both bankrupt and comprise most of the “health care” problem they’re now trying to solve – they’ve decided they should be in charge of ALL health care for EVERYONE.

As with every government program, it starts with wild promises, crazy predictions, dire warnings and a gun to your head.

Indulge me for a moment while I dazzle these manure-shovelers with some math. Government currently accounts for about 53% of all “health care” spending in the US, primarily through Medicare and Medicaid – which are both going broke, while only paying about 80% of what they are billed. (Can you just refuse to pay for 20% of the services you have requested and contractually agreed to pay for? You could if you were the government!)

They also refuse more claims than ANY private insurance company. In fact, if you exclude them and list the next top five, in terms of percentage of claims denied, they decline more than the fourth and fifth ranked private companies combined!

If you want to know why health care costs have “skyrocketed” at multiples of the general inflation rate, trace it back to when that problem began and consider these three points:

1) Congress is populated almost entirely with lawyers. Lawyers have driven up the cost of health care with frivolous lawsuits. (“Have you or someone you love DIED after taking the drug _____? You may be entitled to compensation for your suffering! Call NOW!” If you can afford to advertise for victims, you’re the problem.) Isn’t this why we have the FDA? That’s a separate post. The point on this one is that tort reform – reining in parasites like John Edwards – is not even being considered because a super majority of both parties got to D.C. on money made through exactly that sleazy practice. They chased ambulances all the way to Congress.

2) Health care costs, and – inversely – general quality of relationship with the providers, went batshit crazy at right about the time government got involved with health care. That would be around the 60’s. You’re subsidizing government health care TWICE already. Once with your tax dollars and a second time with higher prices because your well-meaning doctor HAS to charge you about 150% of otherwise going rates to make up for the 20% he’s losing every time he enters a room with a government insurance patient. Those patients are both more numerous and more frequent visitors to his office, by the way.

3) The health insurance companies have enjoyed an exemption from anti-trust laws for 40 years or so. They get that in exchange for accepting more feral gubmint regulation than any other industry. In short, they’re all in bed together. When Oblahhma or that retard running the U.S. House of Representatives tells you that the insurance companies are the devil and they’re gonna rein them in – they’re lying. As usual. They’re simply renegotiating the terms of the incestuous relationship.

Bottom line, if you get the government completely the hell out of health care, this problem will solve itself in the free market. Government is not the solution; it’s the problem. Once again. If ANY of these health care takeover bills are allowed to pass, it won’t end well.

As usual, government creates the problem and then swoops in as the savior that’s going to rescue you. (Great quote, paraphrased – “Government cuts off both your legs, then hands you a crutch and says, ‘Without us, you couldn’t stand at all.’”) They lie every single time and the end goal never changes for them – they want control over you completely until you’re dead. Ideally, the timing and circumstances for that would be their decision too.

Oh, yeah. I didn’t mention the VHA in the list of failures above because I was talking about fiscal irresponsibility. But I spent some time with my father in law a few weeks ago. He has nearly 30 years of service to our country in the Air Force and a number of health problems in his retirement. As he was recounting to me all of his recent medical procedures, I asked him, “Are you doing all this through the VHA?”

“HELL NO! If I had waited on them I would’ve been dead 10 years ago! I’m doin’ all this myself.”

Think about that when you consider ANY government involvement in your health care. Especially when they’re working really hard at making sure they’re the only option.

I’ll give credit where it’s due.. even if I throw in a backhanded stab here or there.

I was truly, sincerely, deeply impressed with Obama’s quasi-acceptance of the Nobel Peace prize. It’s clearly unwarranted and he handled that well in his speech. He said he was humbled and it was clear. He was not only humbled, he was embarrassed, as he should be.

This award is no statement about him and clearly a statement about the prize. Those dumb fucks are still so obsessed with Bush Derangement Syndrome that they’ll give the damn thing to anybody that appears to be opposed to him. (Carter, Gore… “I hope this is a kick in the leg of Bush.”)

It’s childish, political and irrelevant.

I wrote them off when they gave it to Arafat, an unrepentant terrorist and unrepentant anti-semite.

Then they gave it to Carter. See above. All of that applies.

THEN! Then they gave it to AL GORE! For his relentless pursuit of money in the form of a fantasy he created about “global warming.” Wait. The globe is cooling. What he meant to say was that we have a “climate change” crisis. (Whatever gets the dollars and wins the ignorant prizes.)

I have to say – in full disclosure – that I spent a few years selling cars and in all my time in the car business, I never met anybody as sleazy as Al.

Nobel also awarded their “prize” in economics to Paul Krugman a couple years ago. He’s the most consistently incorrect, completely wrong “economist” writing for the New York Times.

Leftists are either evil or stupid. Some times they’re both. The Nobel prize used to mean something.

Now it just means that you’re either evil or stupid. Often it’s both.

Congratulations, Barack!

Like most of America, I’m out of work because of Barry Soetoro. Thankfully, not gainful employment, like the rest of the unfortunate victims of his Carter-like stupidity. I’m out of work as a government critic. Because he’s so incompetent, so inept, so feckless, so bereft of anything required to do his job that even the fringe media that chose him and consistently apologizes for him can no longer excuse his multitude of failures. He’s the Peter Principle on Steroids.

He’s so completely over-employed that he’s making that retarded peanut farmer look good. (Maybe that’s why Carter is so vocally defending Barry – he’s finally found someone that’s worse than him. Go Jimmy! Maybe you can still salvage something of a legacy! “I wasn’t the worst president EVER! Look at Obama!”)

So. I argue no more. I’ve hit the wall. I’m not clever enough to criticize him better than the news headlines are doing it. I simply submit these three facts to you:

1) During the Reagan administration, Ghadhafi violently attacked the United States. (He was no doubt emboldened by four years of the retard from GA coddling terrorists.) Reagan bombed Ghadhafi’s house in response. (If I’m not mistaken, I believe some of the dictator’s kids were killed in that justified retaliation. It’s a damn shame he wasn’t home at the time.)

2) During the Bush 43 administration, Ghadhafi – being somewhat rational -saw the havoc wreaked in Iraq when you piss off the U.S. by dodging inspectors and hiding WMD programs. Remembering his own, very personal bitch-slapping at the hand of Reagan, he VOLUNTARILY relinquished his arms and invited inspectors to prove it.

3) Speaking before the UN this week, that same evil, anti-American dictator said, “We are content if Obama can stay forever as president.”

No doubt everyone in the White House agrees and that’s what they’re working on. If they think they’ve figured out how to do it, kudos to them. They’re wrong.

‘Nuff said. I’ll forgive you for voting for Barry. We all make mistakes. But if you still support him and think he’s doing a good job, you’re a moron and should never be allowed to vote again. You’re un-American and your ignorance is dangerous to all of us, including you.

Ghadhafi just said so.

The supporters of Barry Soetoro – and most democrats, generally – are like toddlers throwing a tantrum, demanding the right to hug the cars on the freeway.

As the pansy in the White House has refused to lead – because he doesn’t know how, his approval ratings have plummeted. He’s lost one of every six that actually voted for him. No elected president has ever fallen below 50% approval faster with the exception of Clinton. (I wonder what the connection could be?) So they’re regrouping and preparing for another push of the same shit Americans have already refused to swallow:

White House officials say they are looking forward to “a break from the August break” — a chance to take back control of the debate after a grim month where news coverage of the issue was dominated by vocal, emotional opponents at lawmakers’ town meetings, railing against the cost and complexity of the plans being debated.

So Obama and Democrats will return from vacation wounded, divided and uncertain of the best way to turn things around. Many Democrats, especially in the House, were spooked over break by the rowdy town hall meetings and flurry of polls showing independent voters skeptical of their leadership and spending plans.

I can’t possibly express to you how much fun I’m having with the Obama presidency. I never expected him to crash this hard and burn this hot.

Also, be clear about this: he’s never been a leader and he’s not now. He’s a puppet. This administration is being run by Axelrod and Emanuel, just as the last one was run by Cheney and Rove.

But Axelrod and Rahm are stupid and evil, respectively. Too many lies, too fast, fellas. Better luck next time.

Watching the self destruction is one hell of a lot of fun. I despise everything that they all stand for and so does most of America. So much so that it’s mobilized soccer moms and suburban dads to protest them and they’re scrambling to explain why everyone hates them. (The best they’ve come up with is “astroturf.” Like most habitual liars, the first place Axelrod runs is to projection – he made his career, and millions perfecting the art of astroturf.)

Obama’s a cripple. His wings have melted. I couldn’t be happier about it and it has nothing to do with Diane Watson. As much as she might believe this has something to do with her and his race, I don’t even think Barry looks like her.

As I’ve said before, Democrats are children. When you give them control of the candy store, the first thing they do is start fighting amongst themselves over how the candy will be distributed.

The unions own Barry and the infighting over health care is about to become really amusing. I’ve known Teamsters. I once snuck into a private Teamsters picnic and shook Jimmy Hoffa, Jr.’s hand. That was a scary place. You can trust me when I tell you that if they buy something, they expect it to stay bought.
