ABC News to its writers: Folks, this election is about ignoring all of Romney's successes, kindness and generosity, and ignoring all of Obama's failures, selfishness and narcissism. Let's get 8 more stories done about "the 47%" this week, and not Bain anymore since that backfired. I'm tired of hearing about all of the jobs Romney actually saved AND created. Focus on important words such as outsourced. If you can do a story combining the words 47% and outsourced, there will be a bonus for you. Now let's go! Oh, and don't forget to pre-write your templates of "Romney's embarrassing gaffes at the debate," so once it's over you can just fill in the blanks.
Okay, folks, before you go, do repeat the oath after me:
I do solemnly swear to focus only on the audio snippets of Romney that government-approved media (that includes us!), and our party dictate, such as 47%, because whatever he meant by that, I am quite sure that more than 47% would never vote for him, so he was inaccurate. And I will waste no energy thinking about how Romney has been successful rebuilding businesses and is a creative entrepreneur and has been generous in a freakish way (it's just not right to earn and give away so much money). Yeah sure, he gave away literally millions of dollars every year for the last 20 years (just gave it away to charity!) but no matter. He did mention 47% in a meeting with "donors." For all we know they're also busy secretly giving away money to charity too! Millions of dollars given away to who knows what charity? Why the secrecy?
I also do solemnly swear not to focus on the different ways Obama's pursuits seem to have failed at every step. The economy continues to fail under him. He didn't show up to vote much while in the Senate even during what he has labeled the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. He didn't show up for intelligence briefings while the Middle East was(is) in flames. I am Democrat, hear me roar. I can blank out large portions of factual information and focus in, only on what is set before me. I can have Ann Coulter on my show as a guest, and not read even portions of her book Mugged, knowing that since I am black and she is not, the case is closed. Say no more! I will not watch any news program that may show Obama in a negative light. Fox news has purportedly played speeches by Obama saying one thing in 2012, and on the same show speeches of Obama saying the exact opposite during the 2007 campaign! This is sneaky, backhanded, and should not be allowed. I do solemnly swear to not listen to Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Karl Rove <* ewww snarl *>, and especially not any words coming out of Dick Cheney <* double snarl *>. And I agree not to read books such as Ameritopia, Demonic, Liberal Fascism, The Forgotten Man, and especially not Mugged. I will not read them, Sam I Am.

Creative Writing Under Obama
It has been a great season for creative writers in the political realm. Today's US NEWS Headline:
Why a Rising Unemployment Rate is Good News is a good example of how Democrats have been tap dancing for over a year now explaining to us why spending is necessary. Why unemployment would've been worse, and how it's Bush's fault anyway. Imagine where we'd be without Barack. In the story In Search of an Adjective we visited a little bit of how creative these writers can get, as they seek to label, somehow, the enormity of electing a white person into the Presidency. Or, wait a minute. Is he black? Who decides that? Is there some magic skin ratio formula used to decide who gets the affirmative action goodies? (h/t Steve Sailer)
But it has been a season for creative liberal writers, and for thinking on your feet among liberal guests on cable. The best strategy seems to be to mention that a Republican seemed to agree, therefore... "Well, Lindsey Graham yada yada, therefore how can you say that?"
Is it fair to say that these creative writing jobs are saved jobs? Although isn't the term du jour preserved? Good to know that the Daily Show wrote some stand up material for BHO's performance at the Correspondent's dinner, but one has to wonder if they're not also writing his speeches, because they are a joke! Obama's speeches as of late sound much more J. Stewartesque than they do presidential. Bash the Republicans, Fox, Palin, Wall Street, BP, coal miners, banks... pretty much anyone that lives in the world of factual information. And how about Gibbs misquoting FOX repeatedly re: the oil spill? "They said we did it on purpose. Yes they did. Yes they did." No, but they may have said you put it in your ignore pile until it was too late. They may have said that, and when I say they, I mean the former FEMA Director, Michael Brown. Any story on that will inevitably digress over to Katrina bashing. Another creative strategy of avoidance.
By the way, I started writing this story BEFORE Rush Limbaugh brought it up, and before I realized Obama was actually using these 9.9% unemployment figures to celebrate. But it's good to know I was in the right zone. Let we wrap by saying how disappointed I'd be if the unemployment rate had dipped to 6%, or any similar Bush-era number. How can you build an historic crisis agenda around numbers like that? No, 9.9% is a really good number, and heightens my creative juices.

If you still believe that FDR didn't greatly extend the Depression, then just observe what's happening today.
Liberal government... always better in theory than in practice. Mark Steyn
The Grammys were revealing, all fluff, no substance. These were the people who elected Obama... see the connection?

America's Got Talent!
Now here's some talent:
Contestant 1: Timothy Geithner going on Meet The Democrats (aka Meet The Press) to explain that the stimulus is working. Wow... that's got to be harder than riding a unicycle while spinning plates on a pole.
Contestant 2: Valerie Jarrett on This Week with George Stephanopoulos - her task was to explain how Obama has made good on building unity, and how his health care plan has been bipartisan. Wow. Selling that would be like trying to argue that Bette Midler was the greatest soul singer of the 20th century. The Democrats have tried to cram this legislation down our throats with the public option ignoring all the aspects that could actually improve the situation such as tort reform, and interstate competition.
Contestant 3: Obama himself getting his photo op in front of a fallen hero at Dover Air Force Base. Very dramatic, slow timed salute, with great lighting. He has some quality multimedia people working for him. Sorry 'bout those folks still slugging it out in Afghanistan, but it's sure good to know that Obama cares about our soldiers. Deeply.
So those are the three finalists. Who's the winner? They're all so talented; it's hard to choose.

"No. No, you're right, the unemployment is worse than almost everybody expected. But growth is back a little more quickly..."Right. Growth as in buckets of government money thrown at "saving" government jobs, and bailing out clunker owners, and home buyers with free money. That's growth in the Obama administration.
"Well, again, I think for large numbers of Americans and businesses, small businesses in particular, it's a tough economy."Sorry about those small businesses... but um, don't you see a connection between unemployment and strapping/ignoring small business? This is the problem with electing Marxists and professional students who know nothing about business. The whole term "shovel ready" should've been one huge clue, as if the job growth would be coming through employing temp workers digging ditches to build a new highway system (a la FDR). Odd thinking from a campaign that used the internet with such success.

The "crash" officially began when Obama won the Democratic Nomination
From my stint writing as Typical White Person for American Sentinel (Now Annuit Coeptis). originally posted Tuesday, February 17, 2009 at 1:08AM
Next time you hear a Democratic talking head spouting the usual blame on Bush regarding the current economic crisis, remember that the stock market crash started once Wall Street realized Obama could actually become President. It's not about the last 8 years, or the last 4 years. After Clinton "the blameless one" handed off the dot bomb to Bush in 2001, the stock market floundered a bit as it recovered from ridiculous over pricing in tech stocks. The market recovered in late 2002 and began a steady increase over the next 6 years. These images show that crucial spikes and dips are strangely related to points in the election that showed Obama on the rise, and then McCain surging. Once it became clear that Obama would win, the market dropped faster than flight 3407 over Buffalo.
1. Hillary Clinton Concedes the nomination to Obama on June 7, 2008. Interestingly this date in time marks the beginning of a long steady decline in the markets.
2. McCain begins a miracle comeback and it appears he may have a chance. Despite being outspent over 2 to 1, (in some mediums over 3 to 1), the market hangs tough through August but begins a decline in September as doubts grow.
3. Obama is largely considered the sure winner, and has all major newspapers, major TV networks, comedy shows, and movies supporting him all the way.
4. Despite a campaign of massive spending by the Democrats which included buying prime time on all three major networks, plus Obama's own TV channel running 24/7 on networks such as Dish, the polls actually showed some new support for John McCain as people began to realize that they didn't really know Barak Obama. Once the elections were finalized though, it has been all downhill, and not surprisingly, all the worst fears of those most nervous about Obama have come true.
Few were those who spoke out against Obama at that time (myself not included). It was all going to be great. Historic. Monumental. But the fact that we elected a spokesperson type with no actual experience has had disastrous results. You will no doubt hear Democrats spouting off about how Obama is just trying to overcome 8 years of failed policy and an economy that was in the tank, but I would argue that perhaps Wall Street knew what most Obama voters were not willing to consider: Obama would be a tax and spend liberal or worse. The man looks at economics as if we were still in the 70s, and wants people to get out their shovels. He's a showman who will let Dems like Pelosi and Rangel do the actual legislative work, which is frightening. I don't really want to see laid off Microsoft employees shoveling highway ditches, and unemployed small business executives doing some landscaping work to save the mouse. I would prefer to let businesses be businesses, and not subjects of Executive Branch ridicule.
Please. Take a moment, look at these charts, and realize that this market crash may be a direct result of Obama himself, and his party's message of catastrophe, fear and great depression. We hope the economy will recover, and when it does, let us all remember to cut through the BS of those who will surely give Obama all the praise. Wall Street knows better, and conservatives do as well. Only those dumb enough to vote for Obama in the first place will believe his story of hype and circumstance when it's all over. These folks might also be dumb enough to vote for a referendum to extend Presidential term limits. Obama's going to need at least 12 years for his "great plan" to actually work. Maybe 16. I can hear Sean Penn arguing that point now, with one arm around Hugo Chavez, and the other around Barak.
