I can only HOPE that one of these people come to my door. My response will be, “do you want to just walk away, or do you want to stand here while I prove to you why you are an Obama-drone idiot?”

In a way I hope that this type of banner waving and sloganeering for Obama continues. Of course the petition lacks substance…it’s reflective of BHO himself. He is cast into an arena where nothing in his background suggests any preparation for. The entire campaign was run on hallucinating hot air and soon enough that will become an accepted yet unfortunate reality for a majority of our citizens, including many that voted for him.

Many of my colleagues lament over the default back to campaign mode – perhaps his hard core supporters are doing the same thing. The “cult of personality” has a finite life, but for now supporters are as conditioned as Pavlov’s dog to home in on it.

The reference to Dear Leader is illuminating. But this is America, not North Korea. We don’t shoot people in the head for not waving the right banner at a political rally and never will.

When his poll numbers finally tip, and they will, who knows? Perhaps he will reset the agenda, and decide that re-election is more important than ACORN and MoveOn.

But I doubt it.

I will personally have a conversation with anybody who comes to my door.

My goal will be to “teach” the Obamabot #1.

But more importantly, my second goal will be to detain the Obamabot in my living room for as long as possible so that he/she is less effective in getting to other Americans with propoganda.

expat — And in that vein, I recommend Maria Bamford, my favorite somewhat recent comedian:

I really think that before giving me a credit card they really should have given me a math test … like a series of story problems:

Question #1: If Maria works as a comedian for $100 a week but spends $20 a day on hair scrunchies how many years will it take for her to pay off a Taco Bell Gordita she bought in 1992?

Question #2: If Maria’s boyfriend is in a folk band but he only smokes pot every other day, what percentage of the rent will he be able to contribute?

I thought 50%, but the answer is zero. That’s good to know. That’s going to be on the test.

You can hear an excerpt of this at http://www.amazon.com/Credit-Test-Explicit/dp/B000XQQOCY.

I’m unlikely to encounter these people, but this would be my answer: Obama is right. We do need a change. We need to learn that you don’t sign up for an ARM or a new credit card or a derivative purchase without reading the contract doing the math. If you send me the detailed plans and a complete cost analysis, I will be happy to read them and see whether I can afford it. Have a nice day.
