Mark Twain once said of Congress,

Reader, suppose you were an idiot; and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.

Sadly, the hope and change of Obama exposes not only Mr. BHO himself, but Congress, and the rest of our country as a nation of idiots at worse, and impulsive voters at best. After all, this country elected the guy. Don’t look at me though, he didn’t get my vote.

No, I am not saying everyone in America is an idiot. No doubt some Obama voters fit the bill, but many were bamboozled by a slick talking puppet and voted on impulse against a party that deserted its precepts, leaving them now to ask if Obama abandoned good principles, or whether he ever had any. The lesson learned – vote with your head and use common sense next time.

I am not sure whether to laugh or cry at the following tidbit. I leave it to the reader to decide. From American Thinker:

No wonder those Chinese college students fell all over themselves with laughter when Timothy Geithner assured them that Obama would never spend the United States into debt. What an idiot! They laughed because Geithner’s stupidity or mendacity was too obvious for words.

This begs the question, are we laughing at Obama and Geithner, or wasting our existence glued to the television, salivating over the latest news about Michael Jackson? Sorry, but I just don’t give a damn about an 80s has-been when my country is in a barrel heading for Niagra Falls.

Given the latest yea vote for cap-n-trade in the House – hell, lets call it what it is – cap and tax, I sit here dazed at he sheer stupidity of it all. While the rest of the world is figuring out that anthropocentric global warming is a hoax, as are many in this country, our Congress brings to the fierce struggle of politics the tepid enthusiasm of a lazy summer afternoon watching paint dry.

When asked to reconsider the science of global warming, our dear leader politely refused. Must be too busy propping up the usurper in South America, wringing his hands and agonizing over how a despotic leader who decided to ignore his own country’s constitution is rightfully shown the door. He is joined by his pals Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, and while not personally guilty of overt threats, his two comrades are quick to portend violent action to ensure South America continues its march towards communism. Obama’s silence in light of these threats amounts to nothing less than a tacit green light to bully a country protecting its democratic constitution. Meanwhile, Iranians spill their blood half a world away as Obama twiddles his thumbs – thumbs he would have planted firmly up his hindquarters if not for the inconvenient presence of his head. If you think you are viewing a world through the looking glass, take a look around, Alice is somewhere nearby.

If Obama occasionally stumbles over the truth, rest assured he will quickly pick himself up and hurry about his business as if nothing happened. No doubt, the offending truth that caused his stumbling is quickly removed by those who grovel at his feet, all semblance of their own self respect gone, as evidenced by the brown coloring their noses.

The novice boy president, dangerous as he is, needs to understand one thing about America – we won’t tolerate his ineptitude much longer. Congress is feeling the heat from the public and the polls just are not looking good these days for the novice White House resident whose naivety is only overshadowed by his ego.

Perhaps Iran does not bother Obama because unarmed students are limited in their capacity to overthrow tyranny. It is different in Honduras – the military stepped in and stopped a coup, not started one. No matter how hard Obama and the mainstream media squeeze their eyes shut, click their heels together and wish, the American people are catching on.

Our dear leader travels far and wide in his attempt to spread apathy. Our legislature discovers new and innovative ways to defy logic and mire themselves deeper into corruption. Admiring themselves in the mirror, transfixed by their own reflections, they run about ignorant to the caricature that defines them and ignorant to a waking populace salivating to replace them with something more useful – like a toaster oven or some soft two-ply toilet paper. As they attempt to sell out this country – to destroy the livelihoods of you, me, and everyone else, while mortgaging the future to mediocrity – we watch….and wait.

While Obama shows despots his backside, we show them our face. Now it is Obama’s turn to see our faces. His veil is slipping, and the act is nearing its end. Oh, and to the Congress, you are never far from our thoughts, and in case you are too myopic and half-witted to figure it out, trust me, right now that is not a good thing.

I think Shakespeare captures the Obama way quite well. From the Tempest:

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Obama is no magician. As hard as he may try – his attempt to dissolve what is great about this country will redefine failure.

As for us, in our story – the American story – we know who the actors are and we are wide awake. Tread lightly lest you tread on me.

Today in politics:

Michelle Malkin on stopping the cap-and-tax bill in the Senate and how you can do your part.

Ed Morrissey on Obama, the Reverse Reagan.

DRJ guest writing at Patterico’s Pontifications: Iranian Clerics Defy Government.

Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler on more liberal whining. Seems like Steve McNair died because we are all a bunch of crazed hillbillies clinging to our guns and bibles.

Liberals: forever indebted to their imaginations in gathering any facts.

More evidence we live where Alice lives: Glenn Reynolds on how Obama voters will pay the price:

OBAMA VOTERS WILL PAY THE PRICE: “When Congress decides how to pay for President Obama’s signature healthcare initiative, some of his strongest political bastions may be footing a heavy bill. And in a political irony, states that went for Obama’s Republican rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, in 2008 are among those likely to benefit most from Democratic healthcare policies.” They told me if I voted for John McCain I’d be protecting myself from high healthcare taxes — and, apparently, they were right!
