PeggyU sent me this without giving me a barf bag alert. Jesus H. Christ! Do these people even realize how fucked up they are? An excerpt:
The other day a friend of mine confided that in the weeks leading up to the election, the Obamas’ apparent joy as a couple had made her just miserable. Their marriage looked so much happier than hers. Their life seemed so perfect. “I was at a place where I was tempted daily to throttle my husband,” she said. “This coincided with Michelle saying the most beautiful things about Barack. Each time I heard her speak about him I got tears in my eyes — because I felt so far away from that kind of bliss in my own life and perhaps even more, because I was so moved by her expressions of devotion to him. And unlike previous presidential couples, they are our age, have children the same age and (just imagine the stress of daily life on the campaign) by all accounts should have been fighting even more than we were.”
And it keeps getting worse.
Many women — not too surprisingly — were dreaming about sex with the president. In these dreams, the women replaced Michelle with greater or lesser guilt or, in the case of a 62-year-old woman in North Florida, whose dream was reported to me by her daughter, found a fully above-board solution: “Michelle had divorced Barack because he had become ‘too much of a star.’ He then married my mother, who was oh so proud to be the first lady,” the daughter wrote me.
And these people vote. Scary isn't it?
Another Washington woman, a global health care consultant, expressed her sense of Obama-inadequacy in a dream: “I dreamed I was an Obama girl. I had a chance to be in the same room with him for the first time. There were dark velvet chairs and he was standing there with all this dark and mist around him. His lips so purple and sensuous as if to be otherworldly,” she wrote to me. “I moved gently toward him and then I said the wrong thing. Obama tamped it down like some vapor that didn’t register. He wasn’t even flattered.”
OMFG! The puke is shooting out my nose. Do these stupid cows even know how idiotic they sound? This is a good argument for denying women the right to vote.
Now the only intelligent writing in the entire piece.
This is, perhaps, the price of faux-familiarity. If I were Barack Obama (or Michelle, for that matter), I’d be a little scared. After all, when people are wearing their egos on their sleeves, it’s so easy to bruise their feelings. What will happen if fantasy turns to contempt?
Here's a news flash: I've viewed Jug Hussein Ears and his "America is a mean country" wife with contempt from day 1. Who knows what damage this empty suit will do to the country over the next four years?
Posted by denny at February 9, 2009 03:56 PMYup, more proof positive that the idiots in this country elected the first "American Idol" president. This is worse than the Kennedy allure of the 60's. Again, the word morons is so appropriate here I can't stand it.
These are not the sensible people the Vent columnist knew, I suppose.

God, what have we done!

A 'community organizer' with no other experience except running for office, and he's back on the campaign trail, letting Nancy and Harry keep control of this boondoggle.
Jug Ears=Love Handles? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
Posted by: LisaKay on February 9, 2009 06:41 PMI had someone that I thought was an intelligent person tell me that she voted for him because she liked the way they interacted as a couple on Oprah. WTF?!!! Having experience and credentials means nothing to these pathetic excuses for women. Maybe if they stopped worshipping people that were so out of reach and used that same energy to focus on their own lives and husbands, they wouldn't be so unhappy.
There should be a qualifying psychological exam for women to pass before they can vote. And before anyone flames me.... I am a woman. A very embarrassed one at that. Baaaaaaaarf! Excuse me!
Quite sickening, I must say...wonder how much Barney "the banking queen" Frank dreams about Obummah. Maybe they could be partners on Dancing With The Stars next season...heh heh heh
Posted by: FredGarvin on February 9, 2009 08:25 PMThe link read like porn. Really bad porn. I need an amnesia-inducing drug so I never have to think of the Obama's "spooning" again. Gag.
Posted by: Jackie D on February 9, 2009 10:13 PMThey're stalking him like a movie star. When they realize he's an idiot and wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire one of them will knock him off. Unlike the death of Kennedy which filled the country with sadness, Hussein's death will be reason for millions of parties.

So he's spooning her and forking us.

Also, I was thinking that if Obama really wanted to help the country out, here's what he could do. There is obviously a market for his "services". I read a repugnant story recently in which a college girl auctioned off her virginity to pay for tuition, and last I heard the bids were ridiculously high. Now Mr. Obama could do a similar thing by auctioning off a night of sweet lovin'. That money could go toward stemming this urgent financial catastrophe that we are teetering on the brink of. I mean, it is a crisis, right? We all have to make sacrifices, right? If our folks in the military can put their lives on the line in foreign countries, is it too much to ask for their commander in chief to put out a little to save the union? I'm sure Michelle won't mind ... she's all about giving to the greater good.
And while we're at it, do you suppose anybody would pay to have a go at any of our congress critters? I mean, sure, you'd want to have them screened for diseases first, but they will do almost anything if the money's good enough. We could let them keep a small percentage.
Really, isn't it about time that government was our bitch, instead of the other way 'round?
Posted by: PeggyU on February 10, 2009 12:29 PMPeggyU-
You have a point there. After all we are a "service country" now, aren't we? As for the congress critters, I wouldn't touch any of them with a ten foot pole. Arms length isn't quite long enough.
Posted by: phthalo on February 10, 2009 12:41 PMThe poor people.....What would the rough, tough, stubborn, proud pioneers think? I can assure you that when I was in Texas, in the early 60s, nobody there had a fixation on the Kennedys. They were seen as what they were: empty and counting on their superficial glamour to remain at the top.It was very sad that the assassination happened there. The people were not angry, just resigned at the political deterioration, and a bit fearful of his inexperience.
They're angry now. Angry at their own Conservative Party who did nothing to prevent the present disaster.
