Bio
Middle-aged, middle-class, cultural iconoclast, INTP with a wife, 2 kids, 2 cats, dog, mouse, 3 gerbils, goldfish, and a growing pet cemetary in my yard. Majored in math and economics, lean toward the esoteric, dislike authority and doubt conventional wisdom. I'm rather detached, generally happy, and have a sneaky suspicion that we might not actually exist. I have a small social circle, hang with the kids and wife, golf, read, think subversive thoughts and suspect I could benefit from a mind-altering drug. I used to hang glide, suspect that in some alternate reality I have a double who is a criminal mastermind, and I can make a strange clicking noise with my tongue that I've never heard another person make.

Obama's speech destroyed my neighborhood!

Rate: 45 Flag

Well, I thought the whole kerfuffle over Obama’s speaking to school kids was silly, but it appears that at least this time, those inbred, red-state, Obama-haters were right. 

 

And frankly, I'm a little pissed!  It's been less than a day and already Obama's speech has thrown my neighborhood into chaos!  And I won't be surprised if historians in the future point to September 8th, 2009 as the point in history when America began its demise.

 

 

muslim kids

I first suspected something was wrong when I came home for lunch and found that these neighborhood kids had converted to Islam, vowed allegiance to some imam and were chanting, “Death to America!"

 

 

kids with signs

 ... THEN I saw these kids trying to stage a socialist rally!

 

 

kids with signs - os1
 

... it was clear that kids everywhere had been brainwashed!

 

 darwin

 ...even the school Bible club!

 

 

kid driving car

 

This kid tried to steal my car!  And when I yelled at him he said that Obama had inspired him to be the best car thief he could be!  And sure enough, I looked it up in the speech and Obama had in fact said, “Every single one of you has something you’re good at...and you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is”.

 

grafitti tagging

Likewise, this kid told me Obama had inspired him to be the best tagger he could be! 


 

science experiment

This kid told me he was doing a “science experiment”,  just like Obama told him to, – and again, I looked it up and Obama did say, “Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor...but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class”.

 

 
teenagers

 

These teens told me they were going to go have unprotected sex because Obama assured them that someone ELSE was going to cure AIDS soon.  And to be fair, he did sort of imply that by saying, “You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS...”


 
kids being arrested

I saw the cops arresting these kids for shoplifting and before they took them away I asked them what they were thinking. They told me they were just "boosting things" like Obama told them to do!  Sure enough,  I checked and Obama said, “You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.”

 

 
skateboard park

And the local skateboard park is usually empty during school hours, but it was packed, so I asked these kids why they weren't in school and they told me that Obama told them to get involved in extracurricular activities – and yup, it's right there in the speech, plain as day!

 

 

kids watching tv

My neighbor's kids wouldn't go to school at all because they said Obama told them they didn't have to if they didn’t feel like it.  And again, it’s right there in the speech, “…I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well…”

 

 

crying kids

 

These kids here were crying because Obama crushed their dreams when he said, “You get the sense from TV that … your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things”


 

kid flipping the bird

…and before I could even ask this kid what he was doing he flipped me off and yelled, “Get out of my face - Obama said just because I get in trouble it doesn’t mean I’m a troublemaker!”  I didn’t even bother checking for it in the speech because I knew what I would find.

 

And now, some unholy force has been unleashed that I fear cannot be reigned back in.  The next generation is lost, and perhaps with it America's future.  Oh why oh why didn't we listen to those wingnuts?  How could we be so blind to allow Obama to give what will no doubt come to be known as "The Speech that ate America."?


It is no doubt too late to actually DO anything about it, but I curse you Barack Obama!  And I blame myself for having voted for you!

The pictures say it all. Thank you for your in depth reporting. If you contact Fox News, I feel sure you can become one of their eyewitness guest experts.
very amusing and well written! will watch out for your writing..:).

and you better hope that the kids whose pics you photoshopped...dont find out! :D
So many great blogs about Obama's speech, but this one definitely has the best photos.
ok, this is by far, my favorite review of Obama's school speech! Now I need to call my grandson and see what no good he's up to since he was converted yesterday!
For me I am totally dumbfounded by my conservative friends who claims to be super patriots and for last 8 years were telling everyone it is un-American to not respect the office of the president. But now these same people consider the president addressing the students of America akin to Hitler invading Poland. And to show it they go out of the way to disrespect not only the president but the office of the president.

Are you kidding me, the leader of the free world speaks to students and this is a bad thing? Maybe I am getting to old, but there was a time when the idea of the president even coming to your town, much less your school, was a really big deal. A really really big great deal. When I was in school the thought of the president speaking at my school would result in unbelievable sense of pride and Johnson and Nixon were president.

Since I have been in both camps both conservative and liberal throughout my adult life, this is my observation. Both the far right and left are so full of crap and so blinded by their ideology and dogma they cannot work with anyone. Since they represent less than 30% of the total the majority of people in this country can see value in more than one political option and want to see real change and don't care if it is a Republican or Democrat that does it.

These factions may be loud, but they really don't have any real power or following of the average citizen.
oh my god...I laughed out loud! F#*@+ing A!
Hysterically funny. Satire at its finest.
Oh, just SUPER - so apt --- how did you ever put it together so fast -- laughed out loud. - gal80
RATED!!!! Yep, that's right. You got all caps for this one.
Wickedly funny and intelligent. The perfect post-op treatment of the Obama speech, and response to the right.
"My neighbor's kids wouldn't go to school at all because they said Obama told them they didn't have to if they didn’t feel like it."

This one pushed me right over the edge. Send this post to Rachel Maddow.. or Colbert....or Stewart. It works.

Triple Rated
Gives a whole new meaning to "red states".
Be werry werry afwaid. hahahahahahahahh
way to think like a kid! Rated. congrats on the EP!
Good grief! I just spewed coffee out my nose! I haven't had a good laugh all week. Thanks for a great start to my day.
The Speech that Ate America! LOVE it.

Because it's true. Certainly, I feel like I'm watching all the ignorant bile of my fellow Americans get spewed across children all across this "great" nation of ours.
Very funny stuff but I too blame you for voting for him.
