Relax and Enjoy ObamaLand

Here’s a new ripple in the Progressive stream. Mr. Obama and his worshipers have decided that the taxpayers in all the states should fund the annual deficits of those states in financial trouble.

Mismanagement and gross dereliction of fiscal responsibility now qualifies spendthrift states for federal handouts. California, Michigan, New Jersey and Massachusetts are lining up for free bailouts. Who knew that out-of-your-mind spending by state governments had no down side?

Evidently, providing cars and AAA service to welfare recipients, pampering illegal aliens in sanctuary cities, bloated bureaucracies, and caving in to outlandish union demands do have a high price. Of course, when you govern a state in ObamaLand cost is not an issue.

Maybe, just maybe, this shared responsibility thing is going a bit too far. Or, maybe the governors and legislatures in states that control spending should be fired. After all, it appears they don’t understand that fiscal responsibility is retro thinking.

It’s obvious that Obama is a religious man. Every night he thanks God for inventing the printing press. With a little paper and ink he can pay everyone’s bills. That’s why he isn’t worried about the $1.8 trillion deficit he rang up in his first one hundred days in office.

The guy is on a roll. By June of this year every American will have the same world class healthcare found in Cuba. And it will be free. How wonderful is that? Rumor has it that his healthcare program will be called Frankie Med in honor of Barney Frank.

Don’t kid yourself. Obama is thinking ahead. Frankie Med is going to stop those greedy pharmaceutical companies from making profits which fund research. New drugs keep people living longer, which put a strain on Social Security and Medicare. Obama is a fiscal genius.

And fewer people will put less strain on the environment. Global warming and Al Gore will be distant memories. Fewer people also mean fewer abortions and the elimination of the need for stem cell research, two thorny political issues. Let’s be honest, the guy is a political genius.

By 2010 Obama’s approval numbers should go right through the roof when people realize that staying home and living on the government dole will pay as well as working and paying taxes.

It will be a glorious morning when the last factory shuts down and everyone can spend their days relaxing. And imagine the reduction in fossil fuels with no one driving to work. The Middle East will once again be a sandbox. There goes the funding for Islamic terrorists. Obama is so brilliant that it’s scary.

The children will love Obama. Education will be obsolete. Why go to school and learn to read and write if it is not required for living and breeding? This will save millions of trees that would have been wasted on textbooks and copy paper and homework.

Best of all, the fragile egos of children won’t be bruised by academic and physical competition. Obama truly believes in absolute equality. Of course, that’s why the economy is on the verge of annihilation. But fear not. Pelosi will certainly tell us the truth, as honesty is her only virtue.
