Watch a blind man drive here. Thank you Ford Motor Company.

When he became President, Mr. Obama had a 65% approval rating and 30% disapproval rating from the American people. By July 24 a majority of Americans disapproved of President Obama. Six months to end the honeymoon. That may be the largest and quickest presidential popularity drop in United States history. All those smart, sophisticated people in the main street media were right when they told us his presidency was historic.

The reason for this historic event is simple. Mr. Obama did not understand his mandate from the American people. He did not understand why they elected him President. He thought they voted for his transformative policies. Wrong. Some may have, but many also voted for him because he was not George Bush and he was the first black nominated by a major political party. Therefore, to fulfill his mandate, President Obama only needed to not change his name to George Bush and not change his skin color (as did Michael Jackson).

Since he has not changed his name or skin color why the historic drop in approval? All these other things he has done (spend, spend, spend) and said (dissing America overseas and continually preaching to us at home) were not part of the mandate.

If only he would have stopped at being black and not George Bush his approval would still be high. Too late now.

The only thing in the whole wide world that matches the size of Barack Obama’s ego is the size of his ears.

Yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. Chip Head proposed a new federal health care program appropriately named Simple Health Insurance Trust. SHIT would cover every American except those in Congress, the White House, and the federal bureaucracy.

Untold numbers of people wanted to know what Mr. and Mrs. Head planned for those government employees not covered by SHIT. Their health care program would be Benefits for Active and Retired Feds. BARF would come out of legislation for all those public servants that are so poorly compensated for their 40 hours a week.

Recently Mr. Chip Head came into the possession of a Coexist bumper sticker. At first he did not understand the concept of coexisting when there were so many evil and bad people in the world. 9/11 and Rahm Emanuel are just two such examples. A few weeks later he read the following story and finally figured out the meaning of Coexist:

A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.

The Marine reported, “I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway
here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved, and he yelled back that Ted Kennedy is a fat, good-for-nothing, left wing liberal drunk who doesn’t know how to drive.

“So I shouted that Osama bin Ladin dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian! He retaliated by yelling that also goes for Hillary Clinton! And there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us.”

Mr. and Mrs. Chip Head are making an open proposal to all federal lawmakers concerning the health care crisis. (Everything in President Obama’s life is a crisis. The man needs to take up yoga, for crying out loud!)

Our proposal is an enlargement and simplification of the current Health Savings Accounts (HSA), with some off-the-shelf technology thrown in for good measure. We believe an appropriate name would be Simple Health Insurance Trust. SHIT will cover every living American except those in Congress, the White House, and the federal bureaucracy.

As long as The Cool One has celebrities passing away right and left (Jocko, Farah, Ed, etc.) we can just keep on going merrily along…la la la.

(Reported today the U.S. unemployment rate reaches 9.5%, a 26 year high. President Obama’s plan to deal with it was to blame it on Bush.)

In honor of America’s pops, Reverend Obama delivered a Father’s Day sermon. As usual, the Reverend instructed America’s dads in how to live their lives.

Celebrating the good deeds of our wonderful selfless fathers would not be keeping in character with the Reverend. One has to wonder if our Reverend in Chief was inspired by the old Saturday Night Live Church Lady or by Chicago’s Reverend Wright?
