Barry and the Obambots

Remember Bill Haley and the Comets or Diana Ross and the Supremes? The newest group singing the old music of socialism and Thomas Paine’s revolution consists of our new President Barack Obama and the leftists in his Clinton, left-overs’ Cabinet. Congress, like a worshiping audience, claps for Barry and the Obamabots all the way through and after their songs about the new "era of responsibility." Investment in democracy, a code for socialism, sounds the notes about shared sacrifice and a fairer distribution of wealth in our society.

I recently listened to a misguided fool who is better looking than Obama and a better speaker too - Van Jones, a 100% black man with O% reason. His message to Americans and to Obama revolves around ending "ECO apartheid." His agenda already resonates with kooks from Oregon, California and ‘greenies’ who hear strains of environmental music. Mr. Jones hopes that Obama will lead America down "green pathways out of poverty." An appealing and capable speaker, Mr. Jones presents the same, present danger to traditional self-sufficiency and democratic principles as Obama. Lordy help us!
