The Obama Presidency Is Finished

[SteppingRazor]

"No," I gasped as I sat upright in bed, turning the volume up on the TV that served as my alarm clock. "No, this can't be! He was doing so well."

But it's true. It's all over now, baby blue. Time's Mark Halperin went to pieces on the air, blubbering anxiously about whether Obama could just give it back. But, no, it's too late for that: Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize, dooming him to a lifetime of shame and humiliation.

So that's it then. This is the way the dream ends, at the hands of a secretive cabal of Nordic socialists. Obama, brought low by his own kind. (The socialist bit, not the Nordic bit.) And, of course, the Nobel Peace Prize ends the upward arc of not just the president, but all those who followed along in his wake. Rumors that the entire Democratic National Committee had slipped across the border into Canada could not be confirmed as of this writing. MSNBC has reportedly replaced Keith Olbermann by rehiring Michael Savage. What remains of the Democratic Party is busily filing court papers to have the name officially changed to the Whigs.

I called my wife, already on her way to work, and told her to file for my death certificate, and then I started packing. The plan now is to take a suitcase over to my in-laws' boat, and then try to make it to Cuba before I'm rounded up as an Enemy of All There Is. Sure, I'm nowhere near as high up the rungs of punditry as the heavy-hitters over at MSNBC, who will now be put in camps, but I was on the Obama train early, back when the 2008 presidential primaries were just starting. There will be no quarter for the likes of me.

1. " ...and then I started packing."

Norway has recently been called the best country to live in... just sayin'.

[SteppingRazor]

2. I dunno. I mean, I read that same study, but man, those winters are harsh! n/t

[onethatcares]

3. but they do have

houses and heat. It's not like you'll have to live in Detroit or anything like that.:think:

[SteppingRazor]

4. But, but, what if I want to leave the house?

:scared:



On edit: Dude, did you really have to slag Detroit? I mean, has that city not suffered enough? :P

5. Then take your skis

.. you're never far from the slopes in Norway.

6. You have to learn their language before they let you become a citizen, too

Coffee mug in hand from morning to noon... beer mug in hand thereafter... all that killer death metal and church burnings! Oh man, how can you resist?!?

Great health care, no homeless to speak of... it's Shangri-la-dee-freaking-da, man!

Plus, every Norwegian woman I've ever met was drop dead gorgeous... I'm not sure how this happens, but their skin and eyes are amazing... must be all that good living, good health care, cod liver oil, and killer micro brew!

I only mention the women because one time, a very long time ago, I was traveling with some Norwegians and was mistaken for one myself... ahhh... youth and compliments... great memories! :silly:

7. My daughter dated a Nowegian exchange student when she

was in high school and I got on to her the other day because she didn't make a go of it with him so we could be living over there. lol

Then I thought about the fact that my first white ancestor came to US shortly after the arrival of the Mayflower from the Netherlands and wondered if I could find a way to be deported to there and not some of the other European countries my family's later immigrants came from. The Cherokees ancestors would just keep me here.

To Stepping Razor, you think your in trouble for your 2008 support, I have been there since early 2004 here in Illinois, and I was also an early 2008 supporter in the primaries. Count me in on the over the border train. (or whatever mode of travel I can find)

8. I've thought of going to Wales or Ireland myself...

And pleading for their mercies! I didn't make the decision to leave! I shouldn't pay for what my ancestors did!

LOL!

I decided not to even think about England... after Bush became buddies with Blair, they are dead to me! LOL! But God Save the Queen anyway.

9. The OP didn't write the post--he is just posting something

written by an author on HuffPo.

[SteppingRazor]

10. Yeah, what he said!

:hide:

[rebel with a cause]

11. Well then my reference to him goes to

whoever posted at HuffPo. I really didn't care who said it. Just trying to join in the levity and leave the blues behind. ;)
