I want my Obamaphone

Doesn’t everyone get one? Or are they restricted to obese black women on welfare in Ohio who voted for Commissar Barry?

And who fixes my Obamaphone when it breaks? If it’s like FEMA, I know it will be broken in a week or less. I need to look into this. True, I didn’t vote for the commissar and I live in a state that didn’t either, but at least I didn’t make any anti-Muslim film he didn’t like. Surely he’s not going to be so petty as to deny me my free stuff?

Lots of free stuff is going to be distributed soon, I’ve heard, before Queen Michelle takes off on another one of her million-dollar vacations and Commissar Barry gets down to playing some serious golf.

What, you thought he was going to fix the economy? Ha. The most incompetent and dishonest president in American history hasn’t got a clue.

Time to buy gold

It worked for Bernie last time. Might as well make some money off our new Commissar Barry and his merry band of morons. Before the bottom falls out.

No need for us to join them in the poorhouse. They’ll only get to watch him and Queen Michelle eat cake. We can eat it too and have a good laugh.

UPDATE:  The price of gold is already on the move.

“It’s party time, chumps”

This is a funny video. Also a weird video. But weird can be funny, so long as it’s not mean or ugly. No pejoratives were used in the making of this video, unlike so much of the toxicity that passes for “culture” in America today.

The quote of the headline is put in Romney’s mouth in the video, and it’s very appropriate considering what half the electorate did to him on Tuesday. They rejected his sunny optimism and a good chance at lower unemployment and renewed prosperity and, instead, opted for four more dreary years of the Liar President and his nasty, divisive politics.

It’s party time, chumps: half celebration, half wake in the new divided states of America.

Now we’ll see what Barry has (secretly) planned for us and endure what he has promised:  the death of the coal industry and subsequent astronomical electric rates burdening business and the middle class; higher gasoline prices for everyone as the EPA further undercuts our oil industry; the most expensive and intrusive entitlement ever in Obamacare; a further downsizing of our Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force; and who knows what mischief to come in the Middle East.

Nothing good for Israel, I’m sure. Get ready for a nuclear Iran and a dramatic shift in the balance of world power to the dictators King Barry loves so much.

UPDATE:  Today, I’m sure we’ll be assaulted with the usual blather about why Romney lost. Republicans need to be more “Progressive,” tune in to women and Hispanics, and blah, blah, blah.

It’s really much more simple. As my mother-in-law said months ago, Willard had no balls. He let Barry get off on Benghazi instead of hammering him for lying to the world. That and the fact that half the electorate apparently still get their views from the Obamedia.

Obamacare: A Stalinist invasion

Camille Paglia, an art historian whose name is familiar, though I don’t think I’ve ever read anything by her, calls Obamacare “a Stalinist invasion,” principally because it will be enforced by legions of new IRS agents.

Ms. Paglia, whose very interesting rant on the subject begins near the 12 minute mark on this good interview of her by Instapundit Glenn Reynolds, says she is a Democrat who voted for Obama (like a lot of people in 2008) because she thought he was a moderate who would improve race relations.

Instead, as she puts it, he is a statist and possibly the most divisive racial figure in American history (Trayvon, the thug son he never had, remember?) who deserves to lose. In fact, she wants the Democrat party “shattered” and rebuilt because it is the home of effete liberals who have no notion of how the working class they pretend to champion actually lives and who only wish to pile on more and more government regulations to make all of our lives smaller. While they roll in the dough from our taxes. Vote Romney!

UPDATE: Not enough of us did, vote Romney, I mean. So we’ll have to get ready for our new, higher taxes and much longer times waiting for a doctor’s appointment. At least we’ll have free contraceptives. Gosh, what a deal.

NOW they want to build a dike

If you can make it in the Big Apple, the outdated Frank Sinatra lyric has it, you can make it anywhere. Supposedly. Well, they had their chance and plenty of warnings from Gulf Coast hurricanes, but NYC is only now getting around to planning to make a harbor dike against hurricane storm surges. Now that the seahorse has left the aquarium.

It’s really not a big surprise for a city whose pols concern themselves with soda cup sizes and the fat content of fast food. This is, after all, the city of Windows on The Hole, the seven-story pit which, in addition to a new, nearby, mosque is still a memorial to Osama bin Laden, more than eleven years after the man-in-the-cave rearranged the NY skyline.

Turns out the subway wasn’t the only thing that Hurricane Sandy’s storm surge flooded with old sewage from the East River. Windows on The Hole got it also. And that was perfectly fitting.

Via Instapundit.

UPDATE:  Thanks to current environmental laws, however, it could take forever to build a dike. Same problem Windows On The Hole has, in addition to NYC’s modern Can’t-Do Spirit. Unless it involves soda cups, of course.

MORE:  Another part of the problem is the Democrat news media which is playing pattycake this time:It’s like a Katrina rerun, with Obama as Bush, Bloomberg as Ray Nagin, and Staten Island as the 9th Ward. Only the press is going light on the President this time. . . ”

Investor strike

Whoa. This, Says Spengler, a former banker who ought to know, hasn’t happened since the Great Depression. Of course, then, no one had any money to invest.

This time they’ve got plenty (two trillion bucks) but they no longer trust the feds not to step in and raise taxes or over-regulate or otherwise screw it up. They’re Going Galt.

Good thinking. I wouldn’t trust Barry with a piggy bank. Like someone else has said, he couldn’t manage a lemonade stand.

Adds Spengler (David P. Goldman): “The great American profit machine has stalled. If Obama is re-elected, we are all going to be poorer.”

If our Liar President and idiot Biden get another four years to lie and steal and downsize the economy and the military while upsizing government regulations, we’re all going to deserve to be poorer.

UPDATE:  But Barry, one of the millionaire “rich” won’t be poor, of course. The lavish dinners (almost $1 million for one “state dinner” for, uh, India) will continue while the rest of us make do. That’s the Democrats idea of “fair share”—“happy days are here again” for them, but not for you.
