And The Wheels On The Bus Go…

So, ya wanna talk noncommittal commitment?  When it comes to not quite making empty promises but sounding like you might be about to, nobody pulls the wool over the eyes of the Sheeple in a soundbite like Pretendident Wishy Washy Waffler.  I mean, I believe in giving credit where credit is due, so, I have no problem unequivocally declaring Baracko Bama, King of Jabberwockilicious Doublespeak.  Take, for example, this doozy of an example of talking loud and saying nothing.  At yesterday’s stage-managed Kiss Up to the Pissed Off Gay Community Meeting on the Downlow, which may, or may not have been exclusively attended by real LGBT activists, since an unspecified number of them were flown in from Chicago, and they were all ushered in and out through the back door, the Spokemodel-In-Chief had this to say:

“I suspect that by the time this administration is over, I think you guys will have pretty good feelings about the Obama administration,” the president said.

Oh, be still my heart.  He “suspects” his administration might could maybe perhaps do some unspecified thing that he thinks could probably make us guys less pissed to the point of pretty goodness.  Oh, joy.  And, since I’m sure you guys want proof, beyond the fact that the camera loving Homo Helper, (toot do do dooooo!) protector, defender and promoter of gay rights, did not appear with said protectees on TV, that he actually papered the room with seat-fillers, and snuck the 300 people in attendance in and out so he could lie to them in private, here’s two snippets, one from the Chicago Sun-Times article linked to above…

President Obama and first lady Michelle welcomed gay activists to the White House on Monday, with a contingent from Chicago flying in to mark LGBT pride month.

Invited guests from Chicago (not spouses or partners who came with) included Debra Shore of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, Michael Bauer, Fred Eychaner, Vernita Gray, Mary Morten, Miriam Redleaf, Catherine Renna, Laura Ricketts and Jane Saks.

…and the following one from Salon, that back me up:

Like every event it puts on, the White House carefully managed the stagecraft at the LGBT reception. Invitations went out about a week ago, shortly after aides began to realize the grumbling among gay activists was teetering on the edge of becoming a real political problem — the reception was the second move to ease concerns, after an order Obama issued two weeks ago to give some domestic-partner benefits to some gay and lesbian employees of some federal agencies. Media access to the event was limited; a small group of reporters and a camera crew were allowed in, but officials directed attendees to leave through the White House’s East Wing, which meant there was little danger they would wander past the press workspace attached to the West Wing on the other side of the building. Perhaps as a result, the media’s interest was also limited — cable networks didn’t bother carrying Obama’s full remarks live.

However, I’m sure the Obacrats will find one or two starry-eyed gay Obots among the shills, who will fall for anything, and thus fell for his insincere line, who they can make a few vague personal promises to in exchange for passionate promotion of Iceberg Slim’s nebulous non-agenda.  While such maneuverings are unlikely to convince many of us homos, that’s irrelevant, the point is to convince the larger majority population that he’s righteously swell to the queers.  He can take care of the “I’m a swell guy” boasting about being right about everything else on his own.

In other news, look for the Obatunist to wait and see how the wind blows on Bush’s Iraq pullout of American troops before he decides whether or not to take credit for it.  So far, the MSM is reporting the Iraqi’s “so what if we can’t defend ourselves, get the fuck out,” wary celebratory stance pretty objectively vis a vis presidential credit or blame, while simultaneously characterizing the celebrants as foolhardy, childishly stupid victims-in-waiting, and the other half of their country as handwringing doomsayers.  No matter, A CNN poll says most Americans approve, which means the upcoming successes, if any, will be solely attributed to Obama’s Overseer-In-Chief skillz, and the death count will become exclusive property of the guy he inherited the opportunity to show off from.  However, another CNN editorial says polls don’t mean squat.

In other news, attorneys and Civil Rights advocates don’t quite seem to know what to make of yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling in favor of the plaintiffs in the New Haven firefighters’ reverse discrimination suit.  However, the ringers (right wingers) seem to have no such problem, for them the ruling is clear as a bell; Affirmative Action, and, by extension, Sonia Sotomayor, sucks as hard as they’ve been telling us it does from the beginning, and SCOTUS, as well as 3/4 of Americans, agrees.

Unfortunately, it seems that Americans, like too many other humans on the net, are not as bright as one might hope.  If they were, nobody would have to tell us not to have swine flu kid’s parties.  Though it looks like the idea of exposing children to the virus in hope of inoculating them against a potentially stronger strain originated in England, but, given the viral world we live in, the CDC is taking no chances.  Also, since we “top ‘o the food chain” folks like to have unnecessary medical procedures for the sake of vanity, like having our legs broken so extensions can be implanted to make us taller,  we need all the common sense warnings we can get.  It doesn’t help that, according to the Associated Press, in this day and age, doctors still don’t know what the hell they’re doing, and basically, have to guess at what ails us when we are really sick through trial and error and playing 20 Questions.  Good thing the government is planning to spend a lot of money to study that.  Makes that whole “digtize medical records so you can heal yourself at home,” plan to cut health care costs seem a lot less attractive, though.  But, like I said before, ya gotta give credit where credit is due, and when medical researchers put their minds to a problem, they, gosh darnit, come up with a solution.  That’s how come we know that screwing makes sperm stronger, sometimes cures headaches, and just does all kinds of good stuff for your overall health and wellbeing, which will probably do a lot for Viagra sales once the news gets out.   What the lab boyz don’t seem to know is, if they take women’s excuses away, all we’re gonna be left with is, “No, fucker, I don’t like you right now.”  Guess they better get busy working on a male lib-ego pill.

Oh, and speaking of ego abuse, meet your newest Senator.  Congratulations, Al?

And the big wheel keep on turning…
