The Great Obamawood Production
Does anyone else feel like you’re watching reruns of old classic sit coms like The Aventures of Ozzy and Harriet or Leave it to Beaver when you turn on the news? You know, as if the world has suddently become a big beautiful place where everyone loves each other and problems are solved in thirty minutes or less?
Listening to Obama’s news conference today and Hillary Clinton’s remarks about how America’s standing in the world is going to be restored made me want to skip down the sidewalk while whistling the Mayberry tune.
The media credits Obama for any Wall Street spikes, yet when Wall Street tanks it’s blamed on bad economic news or George W. Bush.
Reporters wonder how those awful terrorist attacks in India were carried out after the election of our new Dear Leader. It’s amazing the media even bothered to report the carnage in India, it certainly doesn’t fit their narrative. But not to worry, it can still be blamed on George W. Bush, as, much to their chagrin, Bush is still the President.
I get the feeling the next four (God help us if it’s eight) years the workings of our government will be presented to us as a massive Hollywood production. Scripted questions and answers, favorable lighting and feel good story lines. The villain will continue to be George W. Bush and the hero will (of course) be Barack Obama who can do no wrong.
Happy Days are here again, but I wonder how long it will take this production to jump the shark.

I am leaving SodaHead by year’s end. The number of flaming responses gets me down. Like their media darlings, the posters cannot state a counter position but must launch a personal attack. As with their idols, they are all wet with little or nothing to support their claims.
It feels like a 60’s sitcom for sure. Like all things good and bad they come to an end. However, instead of the “Beav” being out of work, it will be everyone.
