“Maybe it’s time for us to really take a look at ourselves and ask: Is Obama actually a great president, and we’re just a lousy country?”
It’s not really that radical a question. I mean, look at him: He’s a bright, Harvard-educated man who’s not only been to other countries but has actually lived in them — he knows cultures and viewpoints beyond the narrow ones we have here. And he surrounds himself with the greatest minds on earth. And who are we, compared to him? We’re a bunch of slobs, really. Kind of ignorant. Maybe a little racist. And we surround ourselves with bowls of flavored corn chips. But the country’s problems are supposed to be his fault? Does that make sense?
The complete lack of self-awareness of “great minds” like those of the author are proof positive of precisely what’s wrong with the Obama Administration and its supporters.
Their complete failure to realize that planned economies like the Soviet Union ultimately just don’t work speaks volumes; volumes such arrogant nitwits will never read.
Now, of course, this particular author may have had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek . . .
Uh, Robert W, you missed the point.
As they say, the Internet doesn’t do irony well.
This was awesome. The writer’s a comic genius.
“But the country’s problems are supposed to be his fault?”
While he was workin’ over his ‘bama blow-up doll, he missed an important point:
The corn chip eatin’ racist slobs he describes didn’t vote for The Dink.
We are not worthy!
We are not worthy!
I must admit if it hadn’t been on PJM I might have fallen for it. of course, it doesn’t help that i suffer from advanced ODS at this point.
From the comments at the link:
About alleged racism toward Obama: “It isn’t that he’s Black, it’s that he’s Red.”
I think they’re right. Americans don’t deserve Obama, he should be president of Sweden.
Obama for riksdagen 2014!
I’m getting a bumper sticker for my Prius.
Even as a joke, that made me vomit in my mouth. I guess my sense of humour has been barry’d by recent events.
Surely there must be one among the fifty seven states that is worthy of Him.
For those that might think he’s serious, here’s an exercpt from another one of his articles.
“You’d think we would have had enough of conspiracy theories by now and that the media would be quicker to educate people to keep the theories from spreading. Yet still another conspiracy theory has emerged, even more divorced from reality and the facts than any of the previous ones. And it has already spread, as recent polls show that somewhere between 34% and 37% — more than a third of Americans — believe it. What is this new, insane notion? That the job President Obama is doing on the economy could be described as “good.” ”
It’s Frank J. people. Don’t you ever get out?
Unfortunately, if this is satire it’s simply indistinguishable from leftist reality. Post this on DailyKos and no one would get the joke.
Check out this title on the same page as the Amazon link:
Whiny Little Bitch: The Excuse-Filled Presidency of Barack Obama
@ Doug, another title on the Amazon link is also telling. “Gangster Government: Barack Obama and the New Washington Thugocracy.
I think that mikhail silo @ 7:10 found the real reason.
Hopefully the damage he is doing can be repaired.
Yes, compared to the elites who must lead us we are terribly ignorant and not to be trusted with any minute decision because our betters know all. Let us blame ourselves for the mess and not our annointed leaders and the direction that they have tried to steer us. Blah, blah, blah.
Of course having lived in countries where people live in mud huts and drink the water where their cattle defecates makes Obama superior to all of us.
I mean electricity, the light bulb and heart transplants are so retarded right ?
“Maybe it’s time for us to really take a look at ourselves and ask: Is Obama actually a great president, and we’re just a lousy country?”
In a democracy you always get the government you deserve. Robin Hood abominations like Obama could not attain power without gullible foolish and weak people whose only patriotic instinct is a government handout.
As though we don’t get enough blame the victim crap. 😛
More subtle than Iowa Hawk.
Hello Faddah
Hello Mama
I’m Occupying
Camp Obama
I’m protesting
Wall Street grabbings
And trying to avoid the hobo stabbings
Just a minute
Dad and Mama
Got a message
From Obama
He doesn’t like the
way we’re livin’
So our student loans are hereby all forgiven
Laugh it up but when the annointed one is finished with the USA he will move on to the UN and really do some damage
Very funny article with the added bonus of serving as a literary rorchach test…
The people at “The Onion” should take lessons from this guy!
I’ve always felt humbled and awestruck by the greatness of Leaders like Obama, Ignatieff,Layton,so I’d never cast my filthy,unworthy ballot for them.
Dammit. I paid $11 for a ham and chive omelet, and now look at my shirt!
“Unfortunately, if this is satire it’s simply indistinguishable from leftist reality.” ….Ellie in T.O
That in itself is the irony. So painfully funny.

Satire is lost on many people even after it’s obvious that it’s satire. Heh.
Well, being a very earnest and serious chap [my mother said I was a very serious little boy] like our Robert W., I’ve never been cited for my incomparable irony radar … BUT …
The very title, including the words “history of everything” and the book jacket graphics should have been a dead giveaway even if you don’t get out much and weren’t familiar with the author. In other words, this is 2-by-4 on the head irony.
Wonderful stuff! There really really are people out there with these sentiments including an old friend whom I thought I had converted to libertarianism whose last missive to me was: Ron Paul and Obama FOREVER. We should be clear too that there is no small element of homo eroticism involved in Obama worship.
Obama the Sun King.

funny chit that!!!!
Typical sentiment of the vast majority of ‘reporters’ in the US MSM.
Last week, Obama went to his required annual physical. His proctologist found three benign tumors and the White House Press Corps. The tumors were easily removed.
