Obama's Latest Bailout Plan Summarized In 4 Words: "3000 Bucks For Thingamajigs"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For those who missed Obama's post-NFP sermon on Friday, here is a summary of the Keynesian-in-Chief's latest plan to fix the country: $3000 for everyone to buy "thingamajigs." We wish this was a joke.

The farce gets going 25 seconds in.

America is looking more third world every day. We know this behavior very well here in Thailand - it is called vote buying.

 

To me, obama is looking more and more like a game show host every day. He should have a big spinning wheel of fortune instead of teleprompter to complete the show.

Perfect timing since Richard Dawkins just passed...can't ya just imagine the stellar ratings of the new Family Feud hosted by Obama?  The first two competitors could be his Kenyan vs his Hawaii family!

CB's:  "Look, Barry, your usefulness has expired....now, if you don't want to end up like your usefulness, your job is to go out there and make yourself look so frickin' retarded that only 49% will vote for you.  Then, we will install Magic Underpants Boy to finish the job!  Those good little Republicans won't know what hit 'em when their "saviour" Mittens does the same damn thing (plus start thermonuclear war) as you did, thus providing us the delicious opportunity to hurl the world headlong into catastrophe to create the optimal distraction for our transition to global dictatorship, by us, for us.  That is all....thank you for your service."

Barry:  Uh.....o, okay....just as long as you deposit 5 million thingamajigs in my Cayman account after November."

New TOTUS interpretation:  Thingamajig of the United States

Smartest. Preeeezy. Evahhhhhhhhhh. Unless of course the teleprompter is missing, and then the rubes who voted for him can see for themselves just what a complete dumbass this suit is. Whatever room he walks into, he is the least qualified to say anything of substance. Thingamajig? WTF.

they called him the messiah.

ohhh the hope

they called it the second coming

ohhh feeel the change

they called him the greatest orator of a generation

ohh you better believe it brother

 simple folks  said wow he sure speaks good and has nice teeth.

yes sir..

the bush devil has been smitten into the dust by jesus.

say it with me

Hallelujah praise be to god.

 

the college kids went  he is cool maybe even cooler than bono.

more ice cool than coolio and samuel l jackson and mc hammer combined.

the only place cooler was in cryogenic lab

 

what we got was not a new beginning but a bad end.

not a new chapter in a great and exciting history but the potential for the end of history.

we got a bad actor  so stoned on crack he cannot even read his blurred tele prompt anymore.

this  cia jesus it seems was a front  for a mafia firm of paedophile bank clerks.

specialty theft,rape,murder and country take downs.

liquidation specialists money and people.

he needs another term for what more of his hegelian peace with syria,iran china and russia.

tony montana wanted the whole world and everything in it and it did not end well for him.

a storm is coming

how they thought they could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

I think this 30 second snippet nicely summarises the key to the world, the universand everything.. It's all becoming clear now.. The powers that be give us virtual wealth (tokens essentially, backed by nothing but a hollow promise) to buy 'crap' and they will use the tokens we've handed over to convert to real money to further screw us and keep themselves in their cosy little world.

I gotta tell you something...

There is a reason those college transcripts weren't released. There is a reason we haven't seen this guy's ACT or SAT scores. There is a reason he didn't release anything from Occidental or his college thesis from Columbia. There is a reason he didn't author anything as editor of Harvard Review under his own name. There is a reason people think his books are ghost written.

The reason is that Obama is one dumb motherfucker. Pure and simple, he's fucking stupid. I have no idea where this notion of Obama The Genius came from apart from the media "catapaulting the propaganda" at people. Say what you will but watch Bill Clinton speaking off the cuff and Obama attempting to speak when the teleprompter craps out and tell me who the smart guy is and who the dumb motherfucker is.

The guy who said Obama has 50 gaffs like this or worse and had GWB said them he'd never, ever live them down is totally right. But hey, Obama Is A Genius (tm) and don't you forget it.
