Remember the movie Blazing Saddles?  It's about a young, witty black sheriff who rides into the western town of Rock Ridge to save the racist, redneck townspeople from a corrupt politician who wants to build a railroad through the middle of town.  All the residents of Rock Ridge have the same last name of Johnson suggesting that there has been too much inbreeding going on and explaining why they have the IQs of morons.  If they will simply shut up and follow the handsome, ingenious black sheriff's lead, then everything will work out for the best.

 

Somehow, the movie plot of Blazing Saddles has a similar ring to the Obama healthcare debate.  A witty, genius president wants to save the racist, redneck mobs from ruinous healthcare costs, and all the rednecks have to do is shut up and follow his lead.  Unlike Blazing Saddles, though, these rednecks aren't all inbred Johnsons, nor do they think with their johnsons.  "Dr. Chicago" is trying to round them all up and herd them into the universal healthcare corral before they know what hit them, but the herd refuses to be controlled by someone riding on a blazing saddle to socialism.

 

Facts sometimes sound like fiction, and the Obama presidency is more surreal than a Salvador Dali painting.  Hollywood would have no trouble coming up with a more bizarre, illogical and unrealistic script than the true story of Barack Obama, but that says more about the fecal material sold by Hollywood than it does about the logic of electing an inexperienced Marxist community organizer as president.  A person in the first half of the twentieth century could have limited their friends to high officials of the Third Reich and have had more decent friends than the friends of Barack Obama.  In Obama, voters elected a man who as an Illinois state legislator stated that it would be too problematic to save a baby that survived a botched abortion, and then when running for president stated that it was above his pay grade to determine when human life begins.  Well, obviously for Obama, human life doesn't begin at birth unless he sanctions murder!

 

Barack Obama said to look at the people he surrounds himself with to learn what kind of president he will be.  One of his czars is a felon and an avowed communist.  Another czar wrote a book on techniques of population control.  Still another has advanced the notion that people can be ranked according to age in order to allot limited healthcare resources.  Barack Obama was probably considering Michael Vick for ASPCA czar until the Philadelphia Eagles signed him.

 

In 6 short months as president, Obama has demonized Wall Street, Republicans, insurance companies, oil and coal companies, doctors, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, tea parties, and town hall attendees.  When he's not demonizing something or someone in America, you can bet he's overseas apologizing for America's past - which he is going to correct.  Israel would be wise to keep its powder dry and loaded because it will not be safeguarded by this administration.

 

A movie script that comes to mind when thinking about this administration could be titled Barackula, the story of a vampire prince planning to turn Americans into communal zombies in order to provide nourishment to the bloodsuckers of Acorn and SEIU.
