Well, vacation’s over for the big guy in the White House. August was evidently a ton of fun as the presidential entourage traveled around the country taking a quick peek at the locals to try to gage the temperature of the great unwashed masses. Even after carefully orchestrating the campaign stops<\/del> townhall meetings so that only a teensy minority of the non-kool-aid drinkers were allowed into the hallowed presence of The One, it seems like someone on the staff actually got a whiff of the outrage wafting up from the globally warmed grassroots.<\/p>\n

With his approval ratings falling like a homey’s gansta pants, Obama has come to a brilliant conclusion: It’s time to take a leadership role. Ya’ think???? All this time we’ve been hearing that this guy’s some sort of genius and finally he figures this out? Talk about a remedial grasp of the obvious. <\/p>\n

“Which Way Did They Go? How Many Were There? How Fast Were They Going? I Must Find Them \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I Am Their Leader!”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This ought to be a fun watch: <\/p>\n

The Left-wing Nuts<\/strong> are insisting on a single-payer, universal healthcare plan that’s free for everybody, the Liberal Elites<\/strong> are focusing on a public-option, hoping to slip in the single-payer government plan by using the ever-popular reconciliation process, the Moderate Democrats<\/strong> are thinking they could live with co-ops (as long as they don’t have to define them), but they’re willing to vilify the insurance companies, figuring no one will notice that’s who would be running the co-ops, and the Blue Dogs<\/strong> are chasing their tails trying to find a friendly place to lay down and hide.<\/p>\n

We haven’t even gotten to the independents, the conservatives, the TEA Party folks, the seniors, and Sarah Palin and the Death Panel chorus.<\/p>\n

And the political lightweight who hasn’t even led a Girl Scout Troop on a field trip thinks he can whip this circus into shape??? <\/p>\n
