Barack Obama: His Name Just Don't Sound 'Merican

Tonight, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton debate in Cleveland, and one week from today I will be voting in the Ohio Democrat Primary.

Initially, I fully supported Senator Joe Biden for President, but he dropped out long ago. So, it now comes down to Obama and Clinton.

While not having any kind of fire in my belly while doing so, I will be voting for H-Rod.

I’m not a big fan of Obama, but I will say this, he has been subjected to some of the most idiotic and ill-informed attacks ever leveled against a Presidential candidate.


The attacks both amuse and frighten me.

A few examples of this, I now offer…

If you live within a few hundred miles of Cincinnati, Ohio, between 12:20 and 3:00 in the afternoon, you can listen to Bill Cunningham on 700 WLW AM radio during the week.

Cunningham is a radio talk show host full of right wing schtick, and political red meat for rednecks.

Willie, as he is known around here, gets very high ratings, but the collective IQ of his listeners who call into his show, run in indirect proportion to those ratings.

Sadly, most of these callers live within an hour of lovely Bagwine, Ohio.

The comments made by these callers confirm that eating grain fed beef while drinking Wild Irish Rose does produce a detrimental effect on one’s mind.

Willie’s show is filled with talk about Barack Hussein Obama being a Muslim.

I really don’t give a crap if the guy is a practicing Aardvark worshipper, but for the record, Obama is not a Muslim; he’s Christian.

Willie and his flock say that Obama was raised a Muslim and attended one of them there madrasas.

Well, Obama, did attend school, and since "madrasa" is the Arabic word for school, any type of school, they may be on to something.

The truth is that Obama attended elementary school while living in Indonesia. He went to a school for awhile that was full of Muslims.

Which makes sense since Indonesia has a Muslim population that is even larger than Rachel Ray’s ass.

Hell, the impressive thing to me is that Obama also attended, and survived a Catholic school while there. Can you picture an Indonesian Nun?

Screw getting hit with a ruler, they probably use steel reinforced rattan canes to beat the kids.

I also hear that this picture shows that Obama refused to place his hand on his heart while reciting the pledge of allegiance.


Not true.

In the picture shown, it is the Star Spangled Banner being played at the time it was taken.

I don’t put my hand on my heart when our National Anthem is played.

If at a ball game, I merely take off my hat, sing off key, and mangle the lyrics as mustard from my hot dog drips from my chin.

That may be true too Matt-Man, but Obama didn’t put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in. Yes, he did.

But seriously, I really don’t care if had he placed his hand on the Bible, the Quran, or a copy of SCREW magazine. None of these reads can counteract the stupid of any lawmaker.

I am not voting for Barack Obama, but not because of any of these baseless rumors.

I will not vote for Obama because he is black…and there is no way in hell that I am voting for one of them there niggras.

Kidding of course, but I am sure that there are plenty of morons who call Willie Cunningham’s radio show that think that way.

No, the real reason I will not be voting for Obama is the following…

When he gives a well delivered speech that conjures up visions of majestic, amber, waves of grain, all I see is a man who is long on chaff and short on wheat.

Cheers!!

I've seen a lot of blog talk recently regarding the need to choose between race and gender for a candidate. I find it difficult to believe that NO ONE votes based on platform, but I'm starting to wonder if those people aren't in the minority. If I were to have to choose between H-Rod and Obama, I too would choose H-Rod (pardon me while I swallow that bit of bile that just came up) based entirely on the cost of her proposed programs - far LESS than Obamas - not race, not gender, but PLATFORM.

Schmoop said...

Dana: You swallowing your bile makes me hot.

I agree with everything you said. Issues mean very little to most.

Hell, if I voted based upon gender, race, etc. That would mean I should vote for my fellow Irishman, McCain.

No way in hell is that happenin'. Cheers!!

Lynda said...

Just stopped by to say good morning, have a great day... too early for me to think about politics, well, actually I try to not think of them at all... it is all a crock, doesn't matter from whence they came, they all is full of the double talk game, and the results will be pretty much the same, another ass to bring America a bit more shame... Have a great day:)))))))

Schmoop said...

Lyn: Your cheerful optimism warms the cockles of my soul. ; )

Have a great day Lyn. Cheers!!

You can Call me AL said...

When in the hell did Rachel Rays ass get like that?? DAMN!!! Sorry Matt-Man, I was with you on your story till I saw that ass, Holy shit! All I can think about now..

Schmoop said...

Al: Is that ass good or bad? I mean, I like a little meat on the butt, but Sweet Baby Jeebus, my tongue couldn't cover that thing in 30 minutes or less. Cheers!!

Raven said...

While I like what both are saying about how they would lead the country...they are both annoying me with the personal attacks on each other. I think it's going to come down to who has annoyed me less.

Liz Hill said...

We all know you'd really like to get it on with Rachel--

As for Obama--I just can't drink that kool aid

Odat said...

Hey I notice you have "69" comments on yesterday's post...just an observation.

And it's a tough choice out there for the next prez....I just hope it's someone who will do the best job.....(for me, of course, hehe)
Peace

Schmoop said...

Raven: Well politics does invite attacks but this crap that I read on the internet and hear on radio talk shows is idiotic. Cheers!!

TB: Only if she keeps her my mouth shut and doesn't giggle during sex.

I admire anyone like Obama who can fire up a crowd, but yeah, I mean, what else does he have? Love the new pic btw. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Odat: I saw that too. And I was Number 69. Perfect!!

I refuse to vote for McCain in November so I'll have to suck it up and vote for the likely Dem nominee in November, B.O. Cheers Buddy!!

You can Call me AL said...

That just the point Matt-Man! I would need more then one "romping" to enjoy ALL that LOVE MUFFIN has to offer...

Lex Valentine said...

I'm just cynical enough to think 2 things about Obama winning the presidency. One, he may want to be a different Prez, but that doesn't mean the current system will let him, and I don't think he's strong enough or experienced enough to force change. Two, all the internet buzz about how he'll prolly get assassinated if he's voted in, is sadly, prolly true.

I voted for Hill in the CA primary. I figured, she's a smaller target, and with Bill looming... the bullet would prolly get him not her. The very idea of being left with the Veep for Prez... any Veep, gives me the shudders. Especially when at Primary time, you don't know who the Veep could be.

Jeff B said...

I saw a bit on the news yesterday where they shoed McCain, Obama and Clinton spewing their B S and all I could think of is, "We are so screwed!"

I heard Ralph Nader is once again considering throwing his name into the fray. That guy just doesn't get the fact that he only plays the roll of the spoiler.

Think I'm going to have to stick with this dude out of Bagwine, OH for the next prez.

Schmoop said...

Al: Good Luck with all that, and I hope you find it to be Dee-Lish and Yum-Oh!! Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Winter: I can't base my vote on what ifs either. Such as someone getting assassinated. I try to judge candidates on their merits. I do agree with you that Obama does not have big enough cajones to force change. Cheers!!

Jeff: Nader is a sad shell of a man in search of some attention.

Voting for the Bagwine Man, eh?
You are a wise, wise man. Cheers!!

Desert Songbird said...

So what's wrong with giggling during sex?!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

I hate the throught of looking back at history ans seeing Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton-Bush as a lineage of presidents....

(yeah I added another Bush - figured you would not mind as you are a Bush hunter)

We just spent eight years with someone's hand up the Presidents ass pulling the strings...we elect H-rod and we get her standing there with Bill's hand firmly entrenched pulling her strings....nah

Schmoop said...

Songbird: Nothing at all, but her's is really annoying...And the giggling would be followed by her screaming E-V-O-OHHHHHHHHHH!!! Cheers!!

Bond: I know what you mean, and I suggested months ago that Bush/Clinton fatigue was her biggest impediment.

I'll vote for BO in November since he will undoubtedly win the Dem nomination, but I'm just not a big fan. Cheers!!

Anonymous said...

I'm with Bond... duh. Hillary boasts her years of experience on the job but she tried for 8 years to get her healthcare plan out there and failed. Not only that but I don't agree with how she's implementing it. I'll take my chance on the new guy. It can't be worse than what we've been stuck with for the past 8 years!

You thought of me when you wrote this post, didn't you. Just a little?

Schmoop said...

Kyra: I hate it when someone spends years trying to get healthcare for all. Dastardly!!

While it is probable that no one could be worse than GW, don't think that is definite. This country is full of morons. Keep on Barackin' The Vote. Cheers!!

Durward Discussion said...

One point for the ignorant in case you run into another one - No Congress critter is sworn in with their hand on anything, unless it is something they are playing with in their pocket. (Matt Man needs to investigate this part).

They are sworn in as a group with a raised right hand. They then cheat (gotta learn to do this early in your first term) and have a real nice individual publicity photo taken with their book of choice to go in the fund raising brochures for the next election.

Durward Discussion said...

P. S.

All guys should vote for HRC. The men have been working really, really hard for the past 400 years to give us our beloved country in the wonderful condition it is in that we so cherish today. Time to get into the recliner with your channel surfer and beverage of choice and let the ladies go to work for a change.

Schmoop said...

Jamie: "Barack Obama is a Christian and was sworn-in at the Senate with his hand on a Bible. He used a Bible that he owned, and the oath was administered by Dick Cheney. But, there was a person in the House of Representatives who is Muslim who was sworn-in using a Koran once owned by Thomas Jefferson."

Any ills that this country may have is a result of human nature, not just men. I just feel HRC is the most competent of the field. Cheers!!

Ed & Jeanne said...

Are you sure his wheat is really that short? It looks like he's having to hold it with two hands in that picture! ;)

Jay said...

I voted for Obama in the primary mainly because I wanted to be one of only a dozen people in my county to do so AND because I was sick of all of Hillary's supporters in this area sending me the "Obama is a Muslim" email. I know H-Rod supports won't admit that they engaged in spreading all these lies about him, but they most certainly were.

Also Hillary has clearly gone over the deep end with her shrieking about that mailer. I was almost embarrassed for her.

But, if she is the nominee I will vote for her in the fall.

Schmoop said...

VE: He is holding his chaff so as not to chafe. Cheers!!

the Book of Keira said...

Matty, you know what I meant...LOL. I think it's great that she wants universal healthcare, I just don;t agree with garnishing people's wages to ensure it happens. Spending eight years on it is great but I just don't want to spend another eight on ... trying. I'll see what Barack can do :)

In my project15 page on my blog I have made political support badges... there are a couple of Hillary ones if you want one to display :-)

Schmoop said...

Jay: I know you did. The crap I am talking about isn't driven by anyone's campaign, it is driven by peoples' stupidity.

You won't for John "There Will Be More Wars" McCain? I am SHOCKED!! Cheers Jay!!

Schmoop said...

Kyra: No one's wages would be garnished.

Political Support Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges...Well, other than mine. Cheers!!

Marilyn said...

On Talk of the Nation yesterday they tried to find differeces between Obama and Clinton's policies... there don't seem to be that many. I don't like either health care plan, really. I'm an Obama person, but maybe I should just move to Canada. I wonder what it takes to become a naturalized citizen there.

Schmoop said...

Marilyn: Don't move...We need you here in the States. Besides, curling is a completely unwatchable sport. Cheers!!

leelee said...

I'm with Tina Fey...that bitch (Hillary) can get stuff done. But seriously..I think she would be a great pres.

Schmoop said...

Leelee: That was a funny bit.

I think Hill would do just fine. I'd still want Joe Biden as Secy. of State however. Cheers!!

Jahooni said...

i feel at a loss either way. i don't want any of them in the White House! I am thinking i will not vote. period.

And that is another thing that erks me, calling the White House WHITE, white in my mind means pure, good, holy... what a load of crap! If Obama wins then it will be changed to the "Black House", if Hilary then the "House that my husband Fucked other woman in" so maybe Pink House -pussy house, can i say pussy on here?? And McCain, well I will be eating my own bile too so let's call that the Yellow House.

Where am I go with this? I have no idea. It is 9am, i just woke up. I need to be at work by 10. Two meetings today. Have to drive far for one of them. Today is going to suck. No assistant. Sucks.

omgosh, is that really Rachel Ray's ass? Holy crap!

Schmoop said...

Jahooni: Maybe we should call it The Peoples' Hizzy. A little pimpin' up of the place would add some panache.

Keep that vision of RR's big, big ass in your mind during your long, long, drive. Cheers!!

leelee said...

Great Bit..I'm a big fan of Tina Fey.

One of the few TV shows I watch...30 Rock..sooooooo funny!

HUGS!

Janna said...

Normally I can't stand politics, yet you have a knack for making it interesting and funny.
That's a gift. :)

Oh, and thank you for posting my Entrecard today.
Love ya lots.

Schmoop said...

Leelee: She is very funny and as far as 30 Rock, in spite of his parental outbursts, Alec Baldwin is a riot. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Janna: Anytime, you nut. Cheers Janna!!

Unknown said...

As someone recently mentioned to me....you just dropped yur political drawers, are you ready to deal with the ass reaming that could come from that?
Of course you are, slutty French sex though, could that sway your vote??? Anybody but H???

Schmoop said...

Mama: I can deal with any reaming someone brings on. That didn't sound good did it?

Do we have a date for our Bardot sex session? Please say we do. Cheers Dear!!

The Teamster said...

wait a minute here....I wrote Matt-man in on my California primary...where has our focus gone.....

and i survived 8 years in a Catholic prison camp (school)....I can feel for obama....

and i choose to not comment on rachel's ass....we still have the right to choose....right?

Jahooni said...

i would rather have the vision of you, your boxers and your knobbly knees ;)~

Schmoop said...

Jahooni: You know just how to melt my heart...And my knees aren't knobby, it was just a bad camera angle. Jahooooooooni!! Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Teamster: Good to see you and thanks fo ryour vote, but I need it in the General Election.

C'mon, you have to comment on Rachel. Don't keep that pain bottled up, it will only hurt you more. Cheers!!

Unknown said...

When I look at Hillary, I see a hammer, a sickle, and a much smaller paycheck.

Schmoop said...

Allie: Seriously? A hammer and a sickle?

H-Rod may be many things but I don't see the Communist comparison. Especially when compared to Obama.

I think the O-Man is far more to the left than Hillary.

Sandee said...

Well, I'd vote for anyone before I'd vote for H-Rod, and that would include Obama. You might find a lot of republicans that are going to do the same thing. Whatever it takes to keep the Clintons out of the white house. That woman scares me. She hasn't done much for New York either. I will love ya no matter who you vote for. Have a great day Matt-Man. :)

Schmoop said...

Sandee: Well, I don't think Hillary is going to be in the equation much longer.

Have a lovely day Sandee, you Hillary hater, you ; ) Cheers!!

Anonymous said...

This whole nomination process is too disgusting for me. Personally I see no reason why ANY candidate should have to swear on a bible if they are not Catholic. Besides, that whole church and state separation thing.....

Schmoop said...

Metalmom: Blasphemer!! As Jon Stewart pointed out in his book, "America":

"Placing one's hand on the Bible makes one physically unable to lie."

FYI...I have had trouble pulling up your site today. Cheers Baby!!

Mo and The Purries said...

Since we know that you, too, have a short wheat stalk, Matty, I guess you gotta go for the ballbuster er - I mean Hillary.
But you'll burn in hell for it.
Bwahahahahahaa Ha Ha... Ha.

Sorry. That image of Rachel Ray's ass not only burned out my corneas, but apparently also my sense of humor...

Schmoop said...

Mo: Ha...Well put Mo. The cornea remark displayed a sense of humor. You'll be just fine. Cheers!!

The Mountain Cat said...

Damn Rachel Ray looks good in that photo!

Schmoop said...

Cat: Dear God, are you drunk again!!? Cheers!!

Travis Cody said...

I was going to comment on several of the finer points in this post. But I'm finding it difficult to type because my hands, of their own volition, want to mime the gentle cupping of those two substantial globes.

Cheers!

Jay said...

If only more voters actually put this much thought into things. Unfortunately, people seem to vote with the stupid part of their brains, and just look at the result...

Mimi Lenox said...

I will pass on the political fray and just make a proclamation.

You've been royally tagged by the Queen of Memes. Message In a Bottle MemeHope you like it!

I know I'm asking for trouble here but I so can't wait to see what you might put on this bottle.
PLEASE do it.
Pretty please....

Lex Valentine said...

HA HA! I have one of those bottles! It's got something funny on it! Remind me to show you. Heh heh.

Schmoop said...

Travis: Your country is burning and all you can think of is sex. Unbelievable. Cheers!!

Jay: Most voters, at least here in the states are lazy. Sad. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Mimi: Okay, Okay...I have another one to do as well. I will work on them both today. Cheers Queenie!!

Winter: Will do. You show me your bottle and I'll show you mine. Cheers!!

Anonymous said...

I must shamefully admit I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to politics. However, this article has enlightened me and I feel confident I can now choose a candidate.

I will be voting for Rachel Ray's ass.

Schmoop said...

Wormbrain: Ha...Wise choice. She can negotiate any peace treaty in 30 Minutes or Less. Cheers!!

Tequila Mockingbird said...

was i supposed to get something more out of this post other than rachel rays ass? now i'm distracted, hungry and feel like smackin' up some booty

Schmoop said...

Tequila: If ass is all that you got out of this, that is certainly not a bad thing. When is ass ever bad? Cheers!!

Sparky Duck said...

I will vote for her only if I have to. I have drank the kool aid my friend and if she keeps acting all schizo, that is if she gets through Ohio and Texas, I may have to vote blindfolded

Schmoop said...

Sparky: I think she is done come Tuesday Sparky. Cheers!!

Travis Cody said...

Well, didn't Nero diddle while Rome burned?

Wait...he fiddled. That's right.
