Muddied Waters

In Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Politics on June 13, 2009 at 2:29 pm

ph2008120403612favreau3Where’s the outrage from the left?  GaysWomen? Uninsured people?  That’s the question being asked by Barack’s Bewildered and everybody else nowadays.  That, and, “what the hell happened?”  The Sheeple are finally starting to “wake up and get it,” and they don’t like it.  Not one little bit.

Hahahahahahaha ha ha!!!!!

That’s what they get for electing a guy just because he’s brown.

The outrage is where it’s always been, right here in the PUMAsphere.  Yep, us angry old bitter knitters have been righteously indignant for so long it’s almost starting to get old.  The only thing that’s fresh is the wind-twisting of the Under The Bussers.”  Those finger-pointing, childish, raspberry blowing Nyah Nanna Na Na Crowd are now experiencing the difficulty of trying to navigate their own self constructed labyrinth in shoes on the other foot.  Now, the David Letterman jokes don’t seem as funny as they did when Bill Maher was telling them about Hillary Clinton.  Where were these people when Jon Favreau was groping Hillary Clinton’s cardboard tit?  Predictably defending Obie’s frat boy brain for just being a boy, that’s where.  Boys will be what they are, after all.  So, what’s the diff now that the “boy” has gray hair?

It couldn’t just be because the world loves Sarah Palin more than Hillary.  Those same folks who are wondering where the outrage is weren’t looking for it when Palin was being hanged in effigy, any more than they were when Hillary nutcrackers were all the rage, or Sandra Bernhardt was calling for big black men to rape the good governor, or the evil Hillary was making men cross their legs in defense of her castration-by-telepathy potential.  She was just everybody’s “squeaky-voiced ex-wife” who couldn’t “run her own house,” whose “claws came out” when she’s “periodically down” back then.  Nothing to get upset about.  Just brush it off your shoulders, scratch your cheek, and ignore the fucking whore.  And that cunt Palin, too.  And, if you wanna be president, it wouldn’t hurt to open your legs and show your package off now nad then, too.

The DOMA shenanigans have finally woken some of the deluded denizens of ObamaNation to the fact that Pretendident McDreamy has more flip flops to his credit than a Spring Break beach house, and even manages to make John Kerry look consistent. Why is that more egregious than FISA, or FOCA not being a legislative priority?  Who’s fault is it that the KoolAid Kidz sleepwalked through the Rick Warren brouhaha, and didn’t look into the meaning of Leah Daughtry’s co-opting the “faith-based” banner on behalf of the faith-pimping community organizer’s Obacrats?  How come “Hussein”’s not a smear anymore?

When us irrational Bible clinging Clintonistas were bitching about caucus fraud, “small donor” myths, and the injustice of rewarding a guy for not competing by gifting him his opponent’s delegates, we were castigated, belittled, abused, threatened, demeaned and ridiculed.  When we refuted the ridiculous accusations of racism, and pointed out the deliberate, twisted logic exploitation of the nation’s troubled racial legacy for fun and profit, we were simply called bigots by more Obots using louder voices.

If it was just basement-dwelling post-adolescents commandeering Mom’s Mac, one hand nonsense typing on their Cheetoh-stained keyboards, it wouldn’t be so bad.  A few threats to cut off some allowances and take away some car keys, and a lot of that kind of behavior is corrected lickety split.  Some well-timed demands for rent, housework and proper personal grooming and hygiene, or face eviction, and most of the nose pickers’ politics are pretty effectively nullified.  It’s the effective use of well funded AstroTurf by Madison Avenue sock puppetry campaigns that have been hardest to combat.

But, Obaganda can only take you so far.  Sooner or later somebody claps or snaps their fingers at the wrong time and the post-hynotic spell is broken.  And, though you might be embarassed that friends and strangers laughed while you clucked like a chicken in your stained undershorts, you can’t escape the fact that you did.  Such is the New Obot Reality.  The facts have always been what they are now, Barack Obama is a woefully inexperienced, unprepared, unqualified Sepia Spokesmodel dedicated to the proposition that his bamboozling ends justify any means necessary.  He has never won a fairly contested political race in his life.  And, now he’s your president.

So, when SEIU/stimulus, or Government Motors, or freedom of choice, or civil rights, or gay marriage rights, or banker bailout paybacks, or any other Obama lies, flip flops and just plain old dirt under the AstroTurf bullshit surfaces and has you non-PUMAs scratchin’ your head as to the license plate of the bus that just hit you head-on and threw you under it, re-read this, this, this, this, and this comment from Day One PUMA, Pat Johnson, posted over at The Widdershins and get a clue:

I just finished “Bloggers on the Bus” by Eric Boehert. The few things I came away with are the following:

1. The “progressives” were actively engaged in purging the Dem Party of all things Clinton. Period. That was the main objective overall.

2. Much of the online commentators at Kos, et al, are basically made up of under 30’s who felt “cool” in supporting the black candidate with little or no regard to his actual credentials. It did not matter. Clinton bad!

3. The so called “progressives” who bashed and battered Bush for 8 years and cried vociferously against his Faith Based policies, his anti female positions, his cry to go to war, and the FISA rulings, were all too willing to overlook this in Obama because “he would roll back these policies once in office”. Why? Because he said so. Period.

4. Women “approved” the misogyny, hatred, and backlash unleashed against Hillary because they bought into the scenario that had been painted against her by the Right Wing and getting her out of the way paved the ascendency of The One. Her credentials, especially on female issues, were considered part of the “old way”. He represents “the new”.

5. McCain was a disaster from the outset and it was an almost surety that any Dem candidate could defeat him in 2008. He never bothered to vet Palin.

6. The country as a “progressive nation” is being held back by the tentacle of the Religious Right and though the progressive blogs hated this in Bush they are willing to allow Obama the “11th dimensional chessgame” but do so with their fingers crossed.

7. They climbed onboard an inspirational movement without any idea of what that movement or the candidate entailed. Just waiting to exhale at this point.

These are some of the reasons why today we are looking at Bush 3. Few bothered to listen or take into account what was looming in front of them all along. They wanted to be seen as “cool” while remaining basically uninformed.

  1. “bitter knitters” LOL!

    “How come “Hussein”’s not a smear anymore?” Actually, it still is. Just to remind you what the rules are: Only Obama is allowed to use his middle name & only in the Middle East & only to increase his own personal popularity. No words, including his legally given name, may be uttered by anyone else that might possibly decrease Obama’s popularity.

  2. Meanwhile, in VA, we have long-time loyal Dem Jody Wagner running for Lt. Gov. And guess who Barrogant sends me email about supporting? The male Dem who is running for Gov. Don’t worry about the female Dem running for Lt. Gov. She can be Deed’s Sec of State when he gets elected, I guess…

    This is SICK.

  3. The thing about Muddy Waters (and similar black American blues artists), I’ve sometimes thought, is that he came up in a context of poverty, family, and familial/communal protection against the vicious racism of the wider world of his day. So: the creation of a certain shared space, maybe, where you could be who you were and/or who you wanted to be, but there was an important “we” to that “me,” and the sense of common experience and collective support was, I suspect, quite significant.

    When white guys finally got hold of that music and recognized its value (which they really did, in their own way), they, not surprisingly, interpreted it in accordance with their own lights, and to their own ends. Individualistically (I’m a rebel without a cause, and etc.), and almost libertarian-like. Hence, Led Zeppelin, dear God (and it is to shudder), and all of the accoutrements of Dude Nation.

    (Or, basically: lacking an understanding of both the political and the personal contexts within which to situate and understand that music, the Dudes turned certain impulses — *for* an idealistic striving toward civil rights and *against* a support, whether active or tacit, of a hostile political status quo — into a general license for personal license, which was stripped of all meaningful and other-oriented content, and which can all too often look just grotesquely selfish, not to mention downright silly).

    Where am I going with this? Oh, hell, I don’t know. Just always seemed to me that the O-Man was the candidate of choice for the Dudes of that Nation, which always immediately made me a bit suspicious.

  4. I have family who wouldn’t speak to me last year because I didn’t love the One…and now they don’t speak to me cause they are embarrassed. Fine, works for me

  5. terrific post! Cinie! Per usual

  6. Has Anyone noticed if David Letterman made jokes about Joe Biden’s daughter?

    http://www.nypost.com/seven/03282009/news/nationalnews/friend_of_bidens_daughter_shopping_tape__161772.htm

    I mean if it is so hysterical to make fun of Elected Official’s daughters, this must have been late night fodder for the talk shows right?

  7. I don’t think we are going to swing back to one party over the other in charge after the way the Republicans behaved SEE why they lost the Nov 2006 elections and this from The Progressives. I see us going to divided Government again “Checks and Balances” No one party will have control of all three branches. I am an Independent I don’t trust these people in D.C. to say we need to prune them back is an understatement.

  8. & now the ones that still back him after hes lied to them.
    the main them i get from them is” everything changed ” so now it all ok . the only thing they cant answer is what changed

  9. i think you hit the nail right no the head to many people thought of voteing for him bacuse it was the cool thing . now it dosent look hes doing such a cool job now dose it

  10. The tragedy is that when this is all over, the GOP will be back in charge and continue the screw job that their “adversary” is now setting the stage for.

    It is sickening….

  11. OK — I want a “share” button — geez, just when i think you can’t get any more brilliant – you knock my socks off.

  12. I have gotten very good replies from Best Western and Olive Garden. Olive Garden is especially upset with DL. I wrote Mars this morning and Kelloggs is next. These letters and calls to protest DL seem to be having some affect. I will continue to do this until that F***ing pig Letterman is roasted.

  13. PUMAS inventory David Letterman’s sponsors :) I am currently experiencing deja vu.

  14. cinie, if ever there were to be a “replacement” to our old friend Molly Ivins, you would be first in line! Your essays need to be bound, published, and read as they sure as hell offer a different perspective on what passes today for political coverage.

    Onward!!

  15. Oooh Cinie, you’re so goood!
    (And so is Pat Johnson!)

    As always there’s so much to take from your writing (and so much I want to repeat, lol, because you express it so exquisitely and sardonic-humorous), so much to think about.

    So that’s what I’ll do while I venture outdoors to pick elder flowers for the annual making of elder-flower-juice. Yum!
    (As if anyone cares, lol!)

    (Really don’t want to sound cliquish, which I’m not, but nice seeing you here Red Dragon!)

  16. Hey, Red! Nice to see you here!
    Cinie, the astroturfers are out in full force pushing the WORM – He didn’t know what the DOJ was doing, or better still, he is impelled to support existing law and wants a legislative solution – after his DOJ likened Gay lifesytle to incest and other rather nasty scenarios. AFter he continued to allow the discharge of Gay service people. After he…..ah heck, the list is too long. What a piece of work this charlatan is.

  17. Well said again Cinie, being a long time puma, I was still crushed at the two hits we took last week….DADT, and DOMA…I can not even imagine how it felt to a koolaid drinker, that had chosen to overlook or reason away all the little jabs and never saw the roundhouse coming. If these events don’t finally wake everyone up from the coma they have been living in…I think we will have to pronounce this movement DOA.

  18. I’ve been lurking here for some time and figured it was time to comment. Being from the “South Side” of Chicago, I knew all I needed to know of Obama. I watched as he failed his constituents in the Illinois Senate and watched in amazement at how the Sheeple jumped aboard this failure of a politician’s campaign and refused…REFUSED, to dig into his sorry ass record.

    I’m beyond saying “I told you so!” Now I just sit back and laugh when another Bot is deprogrammed.

    love your site Cinie. You have a loyal reader in me!

    • Hi RedDragon! Welcome, homey! I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, so I am familiar with its conditions and politics, even though I left town ages ago.

      Thanks to everybody for stopping by, I’ve been doing stuff that takes me away from the computer for a couple of days, so my posting’s been a little lax. I should be back in the swing of things shortly, though.
      Luvya, all!

  19. Cinie – I ‘heart’ you – you need to put all of your blog posts into a book – they are funny, well written, spot on, and absolutely point out everything us PUMAs have been saying since forever (at least seems that way) – damm – we coulda had Hillary, shoulda had Hillary, woulda had Hillary if those ‘freaks’ had paid attention………………..

  20. To quote Flip Wilson’s Geraldine “What you see is what you get!”

    Geesh, look what you got us.

  21. So sad, they’re a whole year late,

    and about 700 quadrillion dollars short!

    but…..

    WE TOLD YOU FOOLS SO!

    For real!
