Unlike with the Obama, we think long-term.  His nice note will not be in direct regard of his disreputable treatment of our allies or money.  Conservatives are looking past the present when they think of the president: he’s sort of totally screwed up today, and tomorrow isn’t looking fantastic, either.

But at least the misguided dunces among us provide a standard which we may avoid.  While it’s not as good as being good, our president is at least setting an archetypical bad example.  He’s doing something important, namely preventing an Obama clone from being elected for decades.  It’s unlikely we’ll come across a sugar-talking commie of his kind soon, but even a slightly less mellifluous shyster won’t stand a chance with voters.

For one, everyone is now assured that a president can’t change the world if the doesn’t know how the world works.  Obama spends his free periods guilelessly, patronizingly attempting to reform hoodlum classmates.  He’s effectively sliding up to the bad kids hanging out by the high school’s loading dock and asking for a cigarette like he’s one of the gang.

Obama thinks he can get them to come to class, not to mention that he thinks it’s his job as student council head to do so.  But his actual role is to let them rot away as loser delinquents while taking kung fu lessons so he may vanquish them in the cafeteria if they attempt to steal or flatten his juice box.  Jerks are rarely ever won over.

Anyone who sees social work as a key component of foreign policy is presently being decidedly proven wrong.  We’re nominally led by a do-gooder of a suck-up whose greatest foreign policy success is convincing Iranians to kill a woman convicted of adultery by hanging instead of heaving numerous rocks at her skull over time.  Maybe.

The pre-savior-electing chatter was that we needed a president who would smile and glad-hand our way to permanent peace.  Not quite enough voters recognized this wouldn’t work, as too many either forgot or never learned that suckers’ natural role is to get shoved.

But this administration is provoking historical comparisons: some people need to see a Neville Chamberlain-type suffer emasculation to learn what never changes.  One prompt per century is hopefully sufficient.

At least people accept that it’s preferable to have a mean president saying we have to rough up a global bully.  Nobody likes such rough talk.  But Obama’s unwillingness to stand up to anyone outside of Honduras’s democratically-elected leader or East Jerusalem’s prospective tenants means he serves as a frightfully vivid embodiment of the alternative’s consequences.  To recap, the result is that our enemies party apocalyptically while our friends tell us justifiably to sod off.  Other than that, we’re safer and beloved.

Glossy talk fails at home, too.  People are not being duped by unlimited fantastic jobs talk, at least not anymore.  And yet Obama’s present lousy poll numbers are going to look like a coffee break taken on the descent compared to how he’ll be viewed in five years. Folks will look back and wonder how we ever coped with chronic double-digit joblessness; hopefully, they’ll spot the same job-murdering traits present in future unqualified presidential applicants.

And the next clueless charlatan pining for our vote who claims we’re can’t unconsciously run a free market is going to hope we don’t remember right now.  Specifically, new Medicare and Medicaid Services boss Donald Berwick’s contempt for health care competition is as obnoxious as it is typical, especially considering the president just chickened out of letting the Senate have a go at him.

The one thing more terrifying than being responsible for your own health needs is someone who thinks they’re smarter than you doing it for you.  They have legal backing, too.

People just need to keep the lessons in mind. Apparently, some need a permanent to-do list Post-It glued to their computer monitor frame reading, “1) Buy stamps 2) Spending and bowing are two things we don’t want our president doing 3) Pick up Stan from piano lessons.”  Those suckered by Obama’s fluffy promises about making the Marshmallow Kingdom a reality may never learn that he’s actually dragging us to Black Jellybean Hell without such emphasis.

If they needed to take more drastic measures, they could write themselves a note on their palms Sarah Palin-style.  Anytime they’re tempted to think Obama can single-handedly bring about a world of cooperation, liberty from want and worry, or unlimited free Skittles can merely look at their hand and be reminded that “He’s full of it.”  It’s a way better tattoo than some dolphin or Japanese characters.

Some need that message permanently inked.  Otherwise, we’re going to encounter yet another fresh embodiment of horrid centralized planning far too soon.  Our past is streaked with them, after all: Woody Wilson, FDR, and LBJ all serve as reminders of what happens when presidents get to spend away in the name of fixing us.  Namely, we end up both broke and broken. 

That’s not even to mention the president’s most obvious foolhardy heir, namely Grinning Jimmy Carter.  Obama’s greatest accomplishment may be making America’s most notorious irrelevant dunce feel better about himself.  That’s when Carter is not threatening Israel or explaining why it was his plan all along to let Iran to keep our hostages for a bit longer.

Obama may as well have plagiarized domestic and foreign policy from the guileless grinning clown.  Man, that is such a bad ex-president from whom to crib.  Joe Biden could have finally been useful to his boss and taught Obama about proper plagiarizing.

The biggest difference between the disco and Bieber eras is that the aforementioned Iranian hooligans are much naughtier and are working to get much nastier weapons.  Yes, things have gotten worse since the Alicia Bridges era.  Also, we can at least respect Carter’s Navy service, particularly compared to Obama’s voter registration service.

Carter and Obama are otherwise identical, especially when we need examples of naively rotten lunacy.  Let’s just keep this one fresh, shall we?  It’s easy to forget everything in an instant.  I blame the iPad and Wii Sports Resort, but it’s happening regardless of the cause.

Take me: even I can only think of any random topic until the open window says someone I follow has posted a new tweet.  But I promise to try to remember the current revolting presidential situation if you do, assuming I haven’t lost my train of thought by the end of this ooh I should check Facebook to see if anyone liked that I had Burger King for dinner.

No!  I must focus.  Yet one more memory-aiding device might help.  Specifically, we should all take a digital photograph of the nice notes we’re sending Obama.  Next, print the thank you for serving as a warning about the dangers of electing an incompetently delusional egomaniac and place it somewhere prominent, perhaps next to your child’s A minus phonics test on the freezer door.

Regularly seeing a note encapsulating what we don’t like about him will help prevent Americans from ever falling for easy utopian promises again.  Like remembering your Social Security number, spouse’s birthday, or Ryan Miller’s birthday (July 17, of course), the folly of everything Obamaesque will then come to mind reflexively even after he’s back to organizing/irritating smaller communities.

While many of their constituents were undoubtedly asleep, late into the night in a rare Saturday session, the House narrowly passed the healthcare bill by a vote of 220-215. One Republican, Ahn Cao, contributed to the yeas. Two others came from the Democratic seats picked up in the recent election, one of whom, Bill Owens, originally claimed he would not vote for the bill.

Most of the scene on the floor was a circus. Half-truths, gavel-downs, babies as props, fire and brimstone style diatribes by one zealous demagogue. The “debate” held center stage — all smoke and mirror, as the real magic was happening behind the scenes. Speaker Pelosi did not preside over the vast majority of the proceedings, probably because she was busy strong-arming the last needed votes.

The plea from Republicans was for commonsense reforms, not a massive overhaul and bureaucratic tax-and-spend boondoggle like every other Democratic-led effort to come before it. One can’t help but fantasize what a bipartisan bill might have looked like. However, as Eric Cantor noted, the only bipartisanship in this bill was in its opposition. Yet the delusional thinking led by the far-and-away inhabitants of Planet Pelosi (population: 1) had convinced liberal Democrats they were mandated to crusade on behalf of the “American people.” Their only obstacle was out-witting Republicans whose primary cause is furthering the corporate Holocaust of insurance companies.

So, today Democrats are atwitter with alternating self-congratulation and telling themselves how “humbling” it all is. These are people like Hollywood Henry Waxman and Charles Rangel who’s home thinking up new ways of emulating mafia bosses. Perhaps Pelosi had a mimosa with her flan this morning for the occasion. They are eulogizing all their great work with mawkish historical comparisons — Oh, this is as momentous as Social Security! And Medicare! (Only liberals would aspire toward dysfunctional, bankrupt entitlement programs.) And Obama is just like John Kennedy, or FDR, or TR, or all of them, and somewhere in heaven Ted Kennedy is smiling, or a tear is rolling down his cheek, or he’s whispering in Obama’s ear, “Thank you.”

All this comes after months of citizen protests, including thousands at the Capitol on the eve of the bill’s passage. The latest Rasmussen poll reports that 54% now oppose the legislation with 44% strongly opposed and only 23% strongly in favor. Who are they doing all this for, again? You would think the slim passage of the bill alone would serve as a reality check. Most people do not want this monstrosity. Instead, Democrats repeat the line that this brutal fight is for the people, while — bizarrely — refusing to face the reality that it is largely against the people. And what’s in store for them at the end of this process? Well, at this point it looks like the criminalization of non-participation in the government scheme, an entirely different kind of mandate.

To be fair, Democrats do think they’re fighting for the people. They just think they know better than the people. But it’s a twofold deception: Liberals would have you believe that their first concern is simply providing healthcare for Americans in need. What could be more nobel? But the greater objective is far more insidious. It’s about ossifying the dependency of the American to the State so that he may always look on her as the flowing teat of necessity and therefore, esteem her and by association, those who seek to fatten her in lieu of those who would restrain her for the flourishing of the individual. This is what the healthcare bill means. This is why its passage, whether the people want it or not, is so urgent for the wildly liberal establishment currently in power.  These ain’t your grandma’s Democrats.
