“Don’t try the veal. It’s from Planned Parenthood.”

 

In a shocking oversight, Hope n’ Change wasn’t invited to Barack Obama’s final White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday – an annual black tie affair (even if your tie had a white mother) in which members of the news media, Hollywood celebrities, and politicians gather to make scathing remarks about what hateful, self-involved, peon-hating jackasses everyone else in the room is…while pretending that they’re joking.

The level of decorum at the event can pretty much be summed up by comedian Larry Wilmore’s reference to the president as a “niggah,” which is being gleefully reported by the media as a term of praise and endearment. So perhaps we’ll have to try using it in the future to show that, despite our ideological differences, we’re still Mr. Obama’s homeboys. After all, like Barry we’re half-white. Granted, our other half is white, too.

Obama scored plenty of laughs with the best jokes that your tax money can buy, although he perhaps crossed a line when he said of Hillary’s “Woman Card” that it’s “the ace in her hole.” Okay, he didn’t actually say that, but we’d have happily given him the joke for free.

Preferably as a going away gift.

I picked up on this too. I caught about 5 minutes of it on the internet before I could watch no more. But the takeaway was clear. This was the only time Obama was telling the truth about everything. Disguised as “comedy,” Obama was clear to show what he actually thinks for once. In stark contrast to the usual spokesman type optimistic spin he has to peddle, he really seemed to relish in the truth. He laughed at how dismal the economy is, how Bernie had no chance against Hillary, how he is on constant vacation at the peasants’ expense. It’s a low class event that is really unbecoming of the office of president as it’s supposed to exist. I can only hope Trump would put a stop to this creepy affair and leave the jokes to the late night college dropouts.

“Preferably as a going away gift.”

First, I’ll believe that he is “going away” when he actually goes away. Second, while he may exit the White House it doesn’t mean that he is going away, or that he will have no future impact upon this country. He has made it quite clear that he desires to become Secretary General of the United Nations.

No doubt that in that position he would overstep his boundaries and attempt to dictate his views upon as many nations as possible – especially the U.S. in matters of gun confiscation and global warming just to name a couple.

There is one small impediment to him rising to that position – a rule since the inception of the U.N in October of 1945 that the Secretary General can not originate from one of the five permanent Security Council members. That eliminates The U.S., The U.K., China, France and Russia, and to date there has never been a Secretary General from one of those five. So, the question arises that should he actually be nominated by the U.N. General Assembly will the U.N. waive the rule or will the current Liar-inChief admit to his Kenyan birth, and that he has deceived the American people for eight years? I can hardly imagine the rule being changed, too many countries would oppose that for the sake of the rule, and because most of the world sees the phony for the empty suit that he is.

So? The asshole is still a citizen in good standing of the Republic of Indonesia. All he has to do is whip out his only legitimate passport and the papers that were signed during his childhood to make him the adoptive son of “Lolo” Soetoro and change his name to Soebarkah (nickname “Barry”), and he’s installed at the UN like a tapeworm in a starving Nigerian’s gut.

Well, there’s a rule in the Constitution, that the president has to be a natural born citizen of the US. That didn’t stop him from getting his voucher for that big ol’ Section 8 house on Pa. Avenue.
