Obama: "We Shall Fight on the Beaches!"

Churchill famously declared his resolve to, "fight on the beaches" following the retreat of Allied forces from the battle of Dunkirk in 1940.

We see Team Obama putting up the same determination in winning one of it's key battles, the fight to prevent the disclosure of the place and time of birth of the president.

Reporter: "Hey President Bush, would you mind telling us the place and date of your birth?"

W: "Sure, bud, I was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1946. Thanks for asking."

Reporter: "Hey President Clinton, would you mind telling us the place and date of your birth?"

Bubba: "I was born in bed." (laughing, then getting serious and biting his lip) "Actually, I was born into poverty at the Julia Chester Hospital in Hope, August 1946. Say, you're kinda cute, honey, want to get a burger with me, and I can tell you all about it?"

Reporter: "Hey President Obama, would you mind telling us the place and date of your birth?"

Obama: "We will fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. I will use the full power of the presidency and spend any amount on legal fees to prevent the disclosure of that information!"

I mean, come on, my son had to present an original birth certificate to play Little League baseball! No president has ever fought the disclosure of such a trivial piece of information before. Why would he? It's irrelevant, right? I mean, since Obama was born in the United States. Right? He was, right?

Right?

Questions that I'd Like to See the President Answer

Gee, I'd love to hear off the cuff answers to these questions from our Dear Leader:

Q: Mr. President, are you in favor of abolishing the 22nd amendment to the U. S. Constitution that sets a 2 term limit on your office?

Q: Mr. President, what would your position be if the UAW, partners of the U. S. government in General Motors and Chrysler, decides to go on permanent strike against Ford Motor Company?

Q: Mr. President, if China were to seize Taiwan tomorrow, how would you respond?

Q: Mr. President, can you explain how your stated policy not to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries such as surrounded the recent Iranian election, yet at the same time your administration is trying to force the Honduran people and government to restore to power the former President Zelaya, in apparent direct violation of the Honduran constitution?

Q: Mr. President, do you feel that rising unemployment is good news or bad news?

More to come...

A Glimmer on the Soul of the Press

I just read that 7 American soldiers have died fighting in Afghanistan in this most recent fighting. The press should stick to their previous behavior and broadcast roll calls with photos of each soldier slain since Obama took office. They did that for Bush, repeatedly.

Of course this will never happen, for it was never that these American Heroes gave all and deserved our great thanks and appreciation that motivated the Bush year roll calls. Sadly, it was only that their sacrifice was a useful propaganda tool, easily promoted for political gain. Basically, the Great Concern and Sadness projected by the television hosts during such propaganda broadcasts was just some good ol theatrics, hollow and insincere.
