THE PERFECT GIFT
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 | Uncategorized
If you’re not sure what to get that special someone for Christmas, the Obama Administration has a suggestion. And it’ll only cost you a fiver:
The 2008 election showed what a difference grassroots organizing can make. But as the President has said many times, there is still work to be done to bring about the change we all fought for.
This button shows that you’re working hard for reform, and standing firm against the special interests that fight to maintain the status quo.
It also shows that you’re stupid enough to drop a five-spot on a button. But times have changed. I’m old enough to remember when this sort of idea was considered a joke.

If Saul Alinsky had become Paul Alinsky, would the Obamanation of Desolation still be standing where it ought not?
I think Stimulus Bill II should guarantee every American the minimum 15 pieces of flair.
Incidentally, I’m collecting PrezBo-themed gift ideas at hopeforchristmas.blogspot.com; I’m adding this as soon as I get home.

Smurf Breath,
Yikes! That’s too clever for me to conjure up. It makes me feel like Monika Alinsky.
These guys just do not let up. They intend to bury us with enough cash to buy out anyone – media, academia, scientist, politician.
These are very, very dangerous people!

If you’re going to throw $5 away, throw it my way. My VA health care (disability) ain’t the best and I sure could use the cash…

I remember National Review suggesting that the right thing to do with Whip Inflation Now buttons was to invert them, to stand for No Inflated Money.

Not that conservatives don’t put bumper stickers on their cars or wear buttons – or that I’ve never done so on occasion – but liberals seem most impressed by such shallow displays. “Ooooo, he has a bumper sticker! He must be concerned!” Or “How dare you insult my feelings by wearing a US flag on your lapel!”

The first company I worked for came up with this brilliant marketing program called “Service To Our Producers”. We all got buttons that read “STOP.” Real winning promo there, guys.

On a sign in front of a business:
We are NOT racists
We don’t like his white half either.

Well, now, nobody has offered a Christmas Obama button:
My Messiah was a Community Organizer
have they? Yet?
Ah, the WIN button! In 1976 my brother made a star out of cardboard, painted it red, printed “WIN” on it in white block letters and planted the thing on the top of our Christmas tree that year. Our neighbors were puzzled but they had given us up for weird many years earlier.

When you think about it, folks should have gone with President Ford instead of Carter. Carter had double digit inflation, a stagnated economy (Stagfaltion) and was a one term president. It was about the economy back then too. By the way, there is now another parallel between Obama and Carter. Iran has hostages again. I believe Iran let the hostages go as soon as Reagan was inaugurated.

I cannot believe how disconnected president Obama is from the rest of the country. The elaborate shindig last night is one more example of the tone deaf response to rising American debt. Did anyone from the press ask how much that cost the taxpayer? He is using our money to live like the Kennedy’s.
Well, every time I open Safari on my (otherwise lovable) Mac, I start off with the Apple home page, and as of yesterday they have among their Top Recommendations the Obama Time Capsule: http://www.apple.com/pro/profiles/smolan/
It seems to be a coffee table book recounting Two Years of Obama, but the really remarkable thing about it is that you can PERSONALIZE it. “After ordering the book (exclusively online through Amazon), readers get a one-off custom copy that features several satisfying personalized inclusions: of their names (as co-author on front cover and title page and in a facsimile inauguration invitation); of their own written book dedication; and of their family photos (in an inside gallery of notable Obama supporters and on a back-cover campaign button graphic).”
There you go, Stephen, another one for your collection!
