Finding our inner Obama

Over the next few years, we must begin to rethink how we behave. Many have too much, and aren't willing to give it to others. While our government will shortly be helping us learn our new lessons in forced giving, we can also practice by thinking as Obama would.
For instance, let us say you are in a restaurant, and get great service from wonderful staff. That is all fine and good. However, the staff don't look hungry, are dressed nicely, under Obama they will have health insurance. Tipping of course isn't needed. Instead, we must learn to take the tip we would pay the undeserving staff and present it to a homeless indigent. Preferably a person of questionable legal status dealing with an addiction problem. That is we must divert the money from those who have (the waitstaff) and present it to those who don't (a drunk homeless illegal immigrant as an example).
Once we can all do this, we will have found our inner Obama. Eventually it will become second nature not to reward those who provide services, but instead to reward those who provide nothing. For those who do nothing are the truly deserving.
It will be hard for many conservatives, and many Republicans may have issues with not rewarding hard work, but instead diverting reward to those who give nothing and only take. However that looks to be our future, and we must learn to accept it.
We must discover and learn to discover and love our inner Obama.



Why didn't ya just bump the Obama Love post?
Perhaps it's only the lateness of the hour, but I am beginning to find it perversely gratifying that while Barack Obama suits me little as a Messiah, he is proving a splendid Devil for those in need of one.
It appears finding our inner Obama may take a while for some of us. Let us hope President Obama will be tolerant of those who believe in rewarding those who provide. Eventually, we will learn to expect our government to solve all our problems.
Let us hope the amnesty law includes a free home and car for every illegal immigrant granted status. To help them feel welcomed in their new country, which will of course speak to them in the language they choose. As President to be Obama has chided us, we must learn to speak Spanish. However there are many other languages we may have to learn.

Now, now .... While Senator McCain is an amnesty supporter, I am afraid he doesn't quite reach the level of love Obama shows. He has yet to tell us to make sure our children know how to speak the language of the majority of the illegals so they'll feel at home.

Once Obama is President the illegals won't have to work at dirty, smelly, ugly, unfriendly meat plants. Instead the work can be sent to China. Outsourced, and done better for less money than the minimum wage illegal immigrants are used to at Tyson.
Won't you feel better eating 4 week old beef, knowing our new immigrants aren't being exploited, have citizenship, government provided housing, food, health care, spending money, transportation, education, and anything else they desire.
Once we can persuade doctors to stop working for crass money, and just provide free health care for all. We will wind up in our Obama paradise. Everything we need will be provided to us by our government for free. Won't it be wonderful.
((((While our government will shortly be helping us learn our new lessons in forced giving,))))
lol. This statement is ridiculous. "learn our new lessons". lol. Did you channel your inner Bush43? I sure as hell did not. lol. I will be so glad to see Bush43 leave so that we will have a working gov't. After 8 yrs with the Bush43 disaster, I miss seeing a real POTUS really running the country instead of that lame duck behaving like a coo-coo clock - popping in and out of that door of the white house just long enough to cause the stock market to fall. lol.
