Welcome to My Worlds: A Bipolar Christian Tells All

Ode to Obama

(Sung to the theme songs [one at the beginning of the show, one at the end] from Gilligan’s Island)
Lyrics by Kelly Gottuso Mortimer
Copyright 2008

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started with the “Messiah,”
Who’d make the Clintons flip.

The mate was a mighty speakin’ man
Whose words were brave and sure,
Fifty-two percent would vote that day
For a three-year Sen-a-tor.

A three-year Sen-a-tor. [Sound of thunder: Crack!]

The economy started getting rough,
Dow averages were tossed
If not for the courage of a fearless man,
The U.S. would be lost.

The U.S. would be lost.

The Weather Underground had a man in this
Who’d reach across the aisle—
With Reverend Wrighhht, the ACORN crew,
Plus William Ayerssss, and his wife
Rez-ko, Rashid—the Professors and Farrakhan,
Hear the liberals sighhh.

So, this is the wail of conservatives—
“They’re here for a long, long time.
We’ll have to make the best of things,
It’s an uphill climb.”

The First Lady and Joe Biden too,
Will do their very best
To make Obama comfortable,
While on his hairbrained quest.

No coal! No oil! No motor cars! Not a single luxury,
Like Marx is spreadin’ wealth, oh, it’s primitive as can be.
So join us in four years my friends; you’re sure to get a smile,
’Cause Palin’s gonna win the day; the Libs are in denial!

Promise #2 - Broken: Raise Taxes on the “Rich”

There is a God. Looks like all us “rich folk” get a reprieve for now. I know, all you poor people lookin’ for a handout counted on Obama spreadin’ the wealth, but here’s a newsflash:

WASHINGTON – An economic crisis, rising joblessness and a credit squeeze can make a president-elect refine his words. Today’s word is “repeal.” During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to repeal President George W. Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy [GRR.] ahead of their scheduled expiration in 2011.

It was part of how Obama would pay for an overall net tax cut aimed at low- and middle-income taxpayers, and an effort to bring what he called “fairness” to the tax system.

No one is talking tax hikes now.

Over the weekend, Obama said he has charged his new economic team with devising a plan that would create or preserve 2.5 million jobs over two years. He said the plan would include broad spending plans as well as the middle- and low-income tax cuts he described during the campaign.

Aides later said the plan would not include any of the tax increases Obama, as a candidate, had said he would impose on taxpayers who make more than $250,000.

Asked Monday when those hikes might go into effect, Obama said, “Whether that’s done through repeal, or whether that’s done because the Bush tax cuts are not renewed, is something that my economic team will be providing me a recommendation on.” [But, I thought You had all the answers.]

If repealed early, Obama’s tax increase on the rich would have generated significant revenue, but not enough to compensate for the cost of his tax cuts. An analysis by the Tax Policy Center, based on January 2008 income projections, estimated that the increases would result in about $43 billion in revenue in 2009 and $45 billion in 2010. Those numbers would be smaller now, as the economy has lowered expected incomes.

Obama’s economic advisers say he will not propose any tax increases in the economic plan he unveils in January. It is to be focused entirely on job creation and economic recovery.

Okay, actually, here’s his “big idea.” Focus on Green alternatives for fuel, [Well, since he’ll stop offshore drilling, won’t touch ANWR, wants to bankrupt the coal industry, and reduce funding for nuclear power, he’d better think of something or a lot of people are gonna be awfully cold.] Also, get that infrastructure goin’. [States have already proven that doesn’t work. Guess Mr. Obama wants to learn from his mistakes.]

Promise #3 - Broken: Raise Taxes on Oil Companies

Happy Thanksgiving! I’ve missed you. Well, it’s time to keep track of Mr. Obama. First, we have an emergency on our hands. Al Frankenstein is trying to steal the Senate race in one state, and in Georgia, Saxby is under fire. WE HAVE TO WIN THESE SEATS! As is, Mr. McCain will vote with Obama supporters on things like illegal alien amnesty. These new “citizens” will be votin’ one day. Who do ya think they’ll vote for? The Hispanic vote, not the Black vote is what gave Obama the win. The Black vote only increased by 1%. Young vote was nearly the same as in 2004.

I urge each conservative to make a donation to www.goptrust.com. Saxby’s opponent has deep pockets, and Saxby needs our help. I’ve already donated twice, but I just donated again. We can’t let the liberals who already control both houses and the White House, get a non-filibuster-proof Senate. As you’re reading this, they’re planning their assault on our conservative talk radio hosts via the “Fairness” Doctrine that my hero Ronald Reagan got rid of. Even if ya only have 10 bucks, send it. Every little bit helps!

From the Office of the Gal Reporting on the President-Elect

Whaddaya know. Seems like we have two presidents. Obama’s lookin’ like he’s movin’ in on the morrow. When he makes an announcement, American flags stand proudly behind him, backin’ him up. He grasps the lectern, and this is what chaps my hide, the lectern sports a huge sign: “The Office of the President-Elect.” 

Hello? There’s no such thing. Check the Constitution. [That living, breathing document Mr. Obama said has deep flaws that continue to this day.] Does Mr. Obama even realize he isn’t the President-Elect yet? That’s right, people. As per the Constitution, [boy, that’s an annoying document] the Electoral College has to convene after December 10, then elect Mr. Obama based on the results of the Nov. 4 general election.

Now, we do have The Presidential Transition Act of 1963 [amended in 2000 by my presidential pick, Sen. Fred Thompson; Sen. Joe Lieberman, who stood by his friend, which I admire; and Sen. Dick Durbin]. As amended, the bill provides training for presidential appointees, and background checks to ensure we get people vetted properly, and confirmed for office. [Ah, who did background checks on … oh, never mind.]

Mr. Obama gets a budget of a cool 12 million dollars, 5.2 of that Congress allocated, the rest came from private donations [I don’t think there’s one pre-paid credit card left in the entire state of Illinois….]; and an office and staff [Mr. Obama has 500 staffers. Question: How many staffers does it take to keep Mr. Biden from gaffing publically? Answer: One, as long as she’s packin’ a giant roll of duct tape. I’ll volunteer.]

Look, I know we’re in a crisis and Mr. Obama needs to jump in, but that “The Office of the President-Elect” sign is disrespectful to our sitting president, and it’s tacky. And people say I’m arrogant. Sheesh!

Already Breakin’ Campaign Promises

Didn’t take long. He’s not even due to take office until Jan. 20. I’ll be keeping track of promises, both kept and broken.

Broken Promise #1: CHANGE

Let’s see:

Hillary Clinton: Secretary of State- Former First Lady and rival for the White House. Mortal enemy who woulda stomped all over him in a dark alley, but her neon pantsuits kept givin’ her away. Only Foreign Policy credentials refer to photo ops taken while riding camels.

Rahm Emanuel: Chief of Staff- Clinton Administration. Chicago political operative. In the dictionary, referenced next to the word “Partisan”—sorry, RABID partisan—cross-references: Wise Guy, Enforcer, Hit Man, Pit Bull, One Scary Dude. Another caveat: Rahm looks out for Rahm, but I guess that’s Mr. Obama’s problem. [I can see Rahm reaching across the aisle—to strangle a couple of conservatives….]

Bill Richardson: Commerce Secretary- Clinton Administration. Offered Monica Lewinsky a job at the United Nations. Mayhap an attempt to buy her silence on behalf of President Clinton? [No way– ya think?] And … both Democrat and Republican senators slapped him around cuz the rocket scientist didn’t safeguard nuclear secrets after leavin’ his U.N. post to take a spin as Energy Secretary. [My kinda guy.]

Eric Holder: Attorney General- Clinton Administration. Pardoned Marc Rich. Remember him? The fugitive billionaire Clinton pardoned before he got outta Dodge. Rich’s estranged wife, [or is that “strange” wife?] Denise Rich, was one of Bill’s major donors. [Major Baggage! What’s Obama thinkin’? Oh, I guess he isn’t.]

Janet Napolitano: Secretary, Homeland Security Department-

Timothy Geithner: Treasury Secretary- Hmm. President of the New York Fed. [Not Federal Prison.] I have a problem with Republicans who aren’t Republicans. Well, he’s an Independent now, but in Obama’s corner. Might be a great pick, but he’s no economist. Rescued Bear Stearns. AIG. Flip-flopped on rescuing Lehman. [I’m not fond of flip-floppers.] Dunno. Since the NY Fed is supposed to take care of the financial institutions on Wall Street, which are goin’ down in flames, is he the guy we want?

And:

Mr. Obama’s keepin’ Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense. [Whoo-hoo, bet the far-left libs are lovin’ him for that pick!]

Change? Who? Where? I don’t see any. Looks like a Clinton White House reunion. But what’s Obama gonna do? He doesn’t have enough connections. He has a small pool of talent to draw from because he hasn’t spent a lot of time on the Hill. Sorry—Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan, Resko, Khaldi, [never did get to see that video], etc., aren’t qualified. Mayhap Mr. Obama can corral some of the ACORN workers, or the gang who broke the law to gather dirt on Joe the Plumber. [And Mr. Obama says he’s for the workin’ man? Well, mayhap those who support him….]

About CHANGE, Mr. Obama said: “Understand where the vision of change comes from first and foremost. It comes from me. [What is “it,” exactly, and when is “it” coming?] That is my job, to provide a vision in terms of where we’re going [Where are we going, exactly?] and make sure that my team is implementing it.” [How, exactly? Oh, I forgot. You have Rahm to keep ’em in line.]

Promise #2 next week.
