Thanks for your clarification, I’ll take another cup of that elixir, please.

Obama got close to what LBJ got in 2004 in terms of his total percentage while well under that of FDR.

I do have to back track on the “majority” of eligible did not vote statement and simply say that the vast majority did not vote for Obama in terms of the total eligible voters. That’s no different than other elections…but than that’s my point.

Yes, laughter can be a great elixir.

Max

it is hilarious on one hand, quite lamentable on the other.

Demythifying is most pertinent, and easier said than done. Amoeba believers will once again need to shown what a farce he his through experience, ¨Hey, a bomb is falling from the sky headed right toward us, let’s hope we’re gonna be okay!” Absurd thinking that parallels any kind of expectation from the black cracker, oops. Can I say that here, it was spontaneity?

Critical thinking is essential, so is laughter from time to time, those endorphins are healthy.

As for voter turnout, didn’t the final figures come in at roughly 64%? A record surpassing Vietnam, did I read those figures wrong? Regardless, Max, I appreciate your input.

Best to you, Sir.

I agree. One person’s myth is another’s reality.

Turning, as Deadbeat does, every incident into the “outcome of the Obama election movement” is hilarious – on the one hand.

It is not cruelty to point out that this kind of delusionalism requires a reality check.

Last I knew, Deadbeat, the majority of eligible voters DIDN’T vote at ALL in the mass marketed two year extravaganza – 2008 Election.

The important point worthy of emphasis, Ramsefall, is that critical thinking and demythifing is the first step, a purging if you will, to real change.

There is an old notion carried by sales trainers “fake it till you maket it.” In sales where much is fakery (I see Obama is familiar with the technique), that slogan applies, but is deadly to a movement. Pretending that Obama represents anything other than a billion dollar marketing scheme (where the heavy betting came from the finance and insurance elite) is something we need to FACE before we can get the change we need, to be the change we need.

In my response to Deadbeat, I insensitively failed to take into consideration that there are people out there who have placed every ounce of faith and hope in the president-elect, who’s really no more black than white, but that’s beside the point. For those of you with absolute optimism in Obama, peculiarly amoeba holds an interestingly similar ring when spoken, it’s not likely that these discussions or articles like Mickey Z’s will distract your unfaltering dedication in adherence to the coming change.

Hopefully you’re all prepared to organize lots of enduring and effective sit-down strikes, as Deadbeat makes note of, to make your demands known while attempting to save your skin. For if the new president were actually to address the needs of the people on his own volition, we’d all see a break from the past ingrained behavior of sub-humans in his position. The certainty that your savior will consider your needs over those of his Wall Street clients, however, is non-waiverable, thus no need to fret over what pessimists and realists say.

When I see a tornado coming on a mid-summer’s late afternoon in the Heartland, I take cover based on what my eyes and sensibility tell me. As such, when I see yet another corporate tool making false pledges in order to grasp that golden ring of nearly absolute power, while surrounding himself with advisors who are FAR from a break of the past, I call it like I see it. That’s not pessimism, that’s called realism — just telling it like it is. Now, I could be optimistic and pray and hope that that imposing funnel cloud won’t hit my house, but standing on the roof waiting to find out wouldn’t be using the organ between my ears, now would it? Likewise, hoping that the presidential Amoeba will bring needed change as he picks his posse of Clintonites/Bushites would make about as much sense.

Wake up America! Your breakfast is burning!

Best to all.

I’ve read Mickey’s work before, just never commented on it. My comment wasn’t meant to belittle, it was meant to help you “chill the #@&% out” as Jules Winnfield would say. I guess if you can’t appreciate humor when you see it, life is pretty damn serious. The absurdity of this election, Obama and the system that produced him are worth having fun with once in while. Maybe you didn’t find Sanford and Son or MASH funny either.

I didn’t intend to ruffle your feathers, but who knows, maybe Mickey Z did mean to challenge your optimism in the Pope of Hope. Sensitive. Try and get out a bit more if you can.

Best to you.

Eloquent is a better term.

This article falls in line with Mickey Z’s approach and stance to the Obama campaign — satire or not. I call Mickey Z’s stance for what it is — pessimism. The problem with “Z” and many on the Left is the focus on personalities that takes too much of the focus and attention away from collection action. As an example the current sit-down strike by workers is clear an action taken by lesser knowns workers that has a much greater impact and is a ray of optimism. Therefore Ramsefall contrary to your belittling assertion I enjoy these victories and the potential for more victories and harnessing the activities unleashed by the Obama campaign.

thnx

Thanks for the wonderful satire!

And thanks, too, for your support of Ralph Nader.

take a load off your feet, and lighten up man, it’s satire for fuck’s sake (apology here). Try and enjoy life just a little when it beckons you while your still breathin’. Go on now, pass it around.

Best to you.

lmao…this is too much, “As this century progresses, we’re bound to see the first Hispanic-American president, the first Asian-American president, the first indigenous-disabled-transgender-atheist-undocumented-communist president and who knows what other proud breakthroughs lie ahead for the land of the free and home of the brave?” That’s just too damn good not to bust a spleen or appendix laughing! I enjoy your comical wit in the face of absurdity.

I guess though that it’s not hard to believe that there are nay sayers out their who can’t see the value of your perspective…too bad, so sad.

Thanks so much for this piece of satirical art.

Best to you.

To think that they are supposed to be the ‘left’ in US politics. Laughable. Just think: a world without faux leftists. It’s enough to make real lefties weep with joy.

So, let’s just flush the alter-net crowd away and enjoy ourselves. Keep on ridiculing!

Oooh, I know, I know!

This is just a satire but a very good satire that really reflects reality.

And he doesn’t need to wait until he’s sworn in to support workers, foreclosed homeowners or to unequivocally repudiate unconstitutional abuses of power and torture. I don’t know, maybe take a fucking stand. Hell, I’m not even going to the oval office and I can do that.

The idea that a President of the US can be reached, once elected by the people is a joke. These presidents are not, regardless of there beginnings, from the people. They are carved and polished to corporate imperialistic perfection to perform their duties.

Had a movement created this or any other president of the US, it would then be quite possible to expect it reflected in every choice, every decision he makes from the time of the campaign through the election and then the inaugural right thru the first 100, 1,000 days. There would be no OTHER master to serve, no reason to veer off “mission” because this would not be the invention of a marketed campaign, but of a birthing of a leader from the very bowls of the American life.

And it does happen in America…South America. Not here. Not yet.

But the truth is, they don’t. They rally at the behest and with the permission of the “democrats”. They have not built an independent base to “pressure” Obama, whatever they say. At a time when workers are staging sitdowns in Chicago- CHICAGO, where half a million people rallied to hear the Golden Child speak on election night- staging a reality that demonstrates mass strength with a target of a tenth of that number, or even a twentieth, ought to be a breeze. Everyone knows those workers are right. But the Obama supporters won’t, because they can’t, and because they fear mass politics more than they do the conservative right. Which means that liberals have a problem, because the conservative right will work to rally their mass in a hot minute, which was demonstrated in the Georgia senate election just two weeks ago.

By the way where were Obama and his supporters then? They sat it out. They sat out an election, which would have allegedly given the “democrats” a veto-proof majority. So clearly it wasn’t that important to Obama and the people around them.

It’s not about giving Obama and his fortunes a chance, Obama-ites. Many of us bit the bullet and voted for the jerk because we believed (partly) in your enthusiasm. But now, as we have seen so many times before with people who support the “democratic” party as an end in itself, you all are walking away from any mass bass you have until such time as your “democratic” enablers give you the green light to roll forward again.

Fence yourselves in if you want to, Obama supporters. But don’t expect passive support from the rest of us.

I can’t handle this indecision. Why doesn’t Mickey come out and tell us what’s what? He can’t leave us hanging in mid-air for decades. Are we stuffed or not?

More importantly, does being stuffed only apply to Americans or can Australians apply?

P.S. Wink, wink! There’s a revolution on my blog:
