Barack ORambo

The line separating entertainment from politics has always been thin, but the Obama administration is now helping to erase it entirely.

The Whitehouse has given SONY Studios (who recently hosted a fundraiser for the president) "unprecedented access" to information about the Seal Team 6 mission to kill Osama bin Laden, in order to help make sure that a film of the one and only success of the Obama administration meets a suspiciously-convenient release date of October 12, 2012...just days before the presidential election.

Barack Obama, who has previously refused to let the American public see meaningful video or photos from the mission, apparently feels that the matter will be handled more tastefully and accurately on an IMAX 3D screen with a full symphonic score...no doubt with a pumped-up Denzel Washington playing the president (dressed in something other than the golf outfit Obama was really wearing) and barking orders to the otherwise clueless military.

Of course, using the Navy Seals to prop up his flagging political fortunes is nothing new for this president. On Tuesday, Mr. Obama flew to Dover Air Force base to meet the incoming bodies of the Navy Seals who were killed in Afghanistan when a rocket propelled grenade downed their helicopter. The families of the fallen didn't want any pictures taken, and so the event was closed to news media and even Pentagon photographers. But deciding to screw the families of the dead, the Whitehouse publicity team managed to snap a picture of Obama "saluting" the coffins (although it looks much more like he's thumbing his nose) and release it as the Whitehouse "Picture of the Day."

As sickening as all of this is, Hope n' Change would like to think that the upcoming film presents an opportunity for conservatives to vote against Barack Hussein Obama twice in 2012.

Once at the ballot box...and once at the box office.

Coming way too soon to a screen near you.

Let Us Spray

With the world's economy (and quite a few buildings) in flames, and three ongoing and increasingly unsuccessful wars, Barack Hussein Obama took time out from his busy, busy fundraising schedule last night to hold his annual Ramadan dinner for Muslim guests and dignitaries.

The dinner, known as "Iftar" (not to be confused with the film "Ishtar"), comes at the end of an entire day of not eating. A ritual that the multitudes of unemployed in America now call "supper."

Last year, Mr. Obama chose this very special occasion, with his very special friends, to announce his enthusiastic support for a mosque to be erected at Ground Zero in New York. Presumably at this year's celebration, on the cusp of the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, he wanted to announce groundbreaking...but was then informed that it already happened.

Ten years ago.

Update: In his Ramadan speech, the president said "Islam has always been part of our American family, and Muslim Americans have long contributed to the strength and character of our country, in all walks of life. This has been especially true over the past 10 years."

Frankly, we're not quite sure in what ways Muslim Americans have especially increased our strength and character over the past 10 years...but it was a meaningless throwaway line, intended to suck up to the guests and not really be scrutinized.

Obama then mentioned the upcoming anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and eulogized every Muslim American who died on that day. Newlyweds, cooks, waiters, executives, analysts, and first responders.

He did not mention any non-Muslim victims.

He did not say who perpetrated the attacks.

Nor did he address the twin tower-sized elephant in the room: why even bring up 9/11 at this gathering of Muslims if Islam is unrelated to the attacks?

In closing, Barack Hussein Obama said of Muslim Americans: "Across our federal government, they keep our homeland secure, they guide our intelligence and counterterrorism efforts and they uphold the civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans. So make no mistake, Muslim Americans help to keep us safe. We see this in the brave service of our men and women in uniform."

Oh, that's right. Nidal Hussan was in uniform.

BS, I Love You

Wouldn't you know it. Just when Hope n' Change looks at the stock market, the media, the Obama administration, Syria, tragedy in Afghanistan, and London in flames and thinks "oh well, at least this will all be over soon when Global Warming destroys the Earth," along come some meddling NASA researchers who've looked at new data and say we're actually going to be stuck here for a long, long time...because Man-caused Global Warming is a myth.

The scientists looked at 25 years of satellite data to see how much heat the Earth was releasing safely into space, instead of trapping it under a "greenhouse gas" dome which the computer models had predicted. And their answer? The heat is safely dissipating. And the climate alarmists' computer models are dead wrong.

Noted Global Warming enthusiast and profiteer Al Gore made a formal rebuttal to the scientifically reviewed findings, saying "Man-made CO2 doesn’t trap heat? It may be volcanoes?! Bullshit! It may be sun spots?! Bullshit! It’s not getting warmer?! Bullshit!!!"

But even if it means we're going to continue to be stuck on this planet with annoying liberals, the new research really does amount to good news for conservatives and radical budget-balancing Tea Party terrorists.

Because now that the research has shown that Man-caused Global Warming is a hoax, the government can stop spending billions of taxpayer dollars in their ongoing attempt to prove (or pretend) it does exist. Which they currently do in order to justify increasing regulation and takeover of the American economy, energy sector, and peasantry.

Just think, with all that money we could save, we could fund research into important medical issues.

And maybe - just maybe - find a cure for Al Gore's Tourette's Syndrome.
