The Morning After

B. Hussein Obama gave his "awakening" speech the day after Election Day.  But, after hearing old silver tongue speak for the last couple of years, I have learned that there needs to be a translation of what he says.

For example, Hussein said, "I told John Boehner and  Mitch McConnell that I looked forward to working with them."

Translation: "Since we were stomped yesterday I guess I have to at least offer to work with them, like the times before."

Hussein said,"...power rests not with those of us in elected office but with the people we have the privilege to serve."

Translation: "Wow, I did not realize the people had so much power!  I thought I had all the power."

Hussein said, "I did some talking but mostly I did a lot of listening. And yesterday's vote confirmed what I've heard from folks all across America.

Translation: "After all that talking I did, nobody listened.  Yesterday's vote just confirms the American people do not know what is good for them, that is why they need Me."

Hussein said, "People are frustrated; they're deeply frustrated with the pace of our economic recovery and the opportunities that they hope for their children and grandchildren. 

Translation: " I am frustrated; deeply frustrated that we could not get everything I wanted passed before the mid-term elections."

Hussein said: "Now, the men and women who sent us here don't expect Washington to solve all their problems."

Translation: "Now the entitlement seekers and unions who sent us here, expect Me to solve all their financial and health problems."

Hussein said: "They want to know that their tax dollars are being spent wisely - not wasted - and that we're not going to leave our children a legacy of debt."

Translation: "Fortunately, I have all that Community Organizer experience.  I know how to spend tax dollars.  Too bad, so sad your great-grandchildren will be strapped with a legacy of debt."

Hussein said: "They want business to be done here openly and honestly."

Translation: "They want business to be done behind closed doors, no CSpan, no Republicans involved and they want us to get our required votes through bribes to congressional members."

Hussein said: "I told John Boehner and Mitch McConnell last night I am very eager to sit down with both parties and figure out how we can move forward together."

Translation: "I told John Boehner and Mitch McConnell last night that if they wanted to  continue our slide into oblivion, they must accept My demands."

Hussein said, "As I've said before, no person no party has a monopoly on wisdom."

Translation: "As I've said before, no person no party has a monopoly on wisdom, only Me."

Hussein said, "That's why I'm eager to hear good ideas where ever they come from, whoever proposes them."

Translation: " Like I did during the healthcare debate."

Hussein said: "That's why I believe it is important to have an honest and civil debate about the choices we face."

Translation: "We can have an honest and civil debate only when I am speaking."

Hussein said: "That's why I want to engage both Democrats and Republicans in serious conversations about where we're going as a nation."

Translation: "We must have serious conversations now because our nation is on a slippery slope to ruin and I don't know how to stop it."

Hussein said: "Because while we may be proud Democrats or proud Republicans, we are prouder to be Americans."

Translation: "We are proud to be Americans, above all.  Wish Michelle was also."

Now you know the rest of the story!
