Spooky Kabuki: More Free Primetime TV for the Summer Bummer Obama Drama

Posted on | July 25, 2011 | 23 Comments

The World’s Least Plausible Reality Show continues:

Mr Obama will address the nation tonight at 9pm Eastern Time and U.S. leaders are trying to reassure jittery investors as Wall Street markets closed down and global indexes wobbled today.

Jeebus, this guy doesn’t know when to quit, does he?

On the bright side, Black Monday was merely dark gray. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was only off 88 points.

You know why the markets aren’t in complete panic over Obama’s reckless debt-ceiling brinksmanship? Because they don’t take it any more seriously than I do. It’s so transparently a phony political kabuki dance — a show-bizzy publicity stunt whereby Obama depicts himself as the Only Adult in the Room — that investors simply can’t believe anyone could be that stupid.

So once again, Obama will interrupt whatever it was that TV viewers had planned to watch in the prime 9 p.m. slot, so that he can recycle his irreponsible partisan rhetoric about what a reponsible non-partisan he is. And then there is the comic-villain clown of this absurd melodrama:

Reid: I have an exciting new
compromise debt deal for
you radical right-wing extremists

Excuse me while I check the schedule . . . yeah, at 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies will be showing I Accuse! (1958), the true story of Emile Zola’s defense of Alfred Dreyfus.

Can’t miss that. At least it’s a true story.

    For myself, I will be attending to critical tasks, such as taking the trash out for pick up tomorrow, trimming my toe nails, cleaning excess wax from my ears, and so on.

    Just sign the damn bill so we can move on. If I have to listen to this shit for the next year and a half I won’t vote for anybody. The hell with this, my patience is at an end. Is the GOP actually afraid Obama’s shit might WORK if he gets his way?

    I have a dream, I’d like to share.  Boehner pulls off the two-tier approach, ie short term fix to allow a reasonable amount of time to conclude the 2nd tier – the Big Deal.  Boehner with gavel in hand, Cantor at his side, lead the House GOP, from their offices, to the parking lot.  They cross the SEIU lined parking lot, heads held high, to the spittle flecked screams of “Teabaggers”.  They proudly make their way to the People’s House.. The vote is taken.  Not a single Dim votes Yea.  It then passes the Senate with just enough frightened Dims to reach 51.  The vast majority of Dims are now on record, for toying with the full faith and credit of the United States of America.  On to the White House.  This is huge.  Not only will the USA be saved, but the entire world.  There’s more media for the signing than covers the Olympics.  The cameras zoom in as President Obama signs this historic document.  He rises from his chair and first shakes the hands of Senator Reid, then Rep Pelosi.  Next, Senator McConnell.  He knows this slight to the Speaker of the House, is the only satisfaction he’s apt to get.
     
    Now he extends his hand to Rep. Boehner.  Boehner accepts it while placing his other hand on the President’s shoulder, stepping in, while drawing them closer.  The cameras zoom in on Obama’s face. While shaking the President’s hand, and smiling broadly, Boehner leans close to Obama’s ear, and whispers, “Bite me, Barry”
     
    PS – that’s not what he whispered in my dream.  Something about taste, but I figured I’d better clean it up a little.

    If you get by without a raaaaacist whine from the left on this title, I’ll be amazed.

    Obama’s so full of sh*t, when he dies the funeral will be held at a sewerage plant.

    Boehner came on and beat Obama like a rented mule.

    Something to think about: Reid runs his mouth about how the republican caucus is held hostage by ‘tea party extremeists’, Schumer actually issues a threat (“gonna make the republicans an offer they can’t refuse”), Obama blames and slams EVERYONE on the other side…
    At what point can we reasonably say that these clowns have no intention of negotiating?

    Judging from the recent results, I hope they give him more time.  Heck, give him a half hour show in prime time, with a situation comedy lead-in.

    The more he has been talking, the lower his approval goes.  You talk, Barack!

    The show could be called, “Jive Turkey in Chief” . . .

    Thank you, Stace, for the HEADLINE.

    Your worries are over, TPT!  Cryin’ John ‘The Cheap Suit’ Boehner is giving in with his new plan.  Be of good cheer [and don't forget to use Cheer on all your whites to get the whitest whites].

    Hey!  Nixon, unlike Little Barry, had his good points [ex: he hated Hippies].

    I’m stealing that one.

    I just don’t want the son-of-a-bitch to use this as an issue so he can distract from some of the other crooked shit that’s going on like Fast And Furious.

    The longer he can keep this crap front and center the less likely people are to pay attention to that kind of stuff. And he knows he isn’t going to lose most of the Democrats over this, all he has to worry about here is the Independents.

    If his economic policies continue to fail, he will lose them too, but maybe not if he can keep this shit going and blame the GOP
