Obama's Web
Most Americans (at least those who paid any attention in school or go to see movies) know the story of Charlotte's Web. For those who don't, it is about a runt piglet that becomes the pet of a little girl. The piglet, Wilbur, is happy on the farm and makes all kind of friends in the process. You see, the animals can actually talk. I know, it is hard to believe that an animal can talk but for the sake of the story, try to picture it. So it comes time to butcher Wilbur, everyone tries to come up with some way to save him. Finally, a crafty spider named Charlotte spins a web with "Some Pig" written in it and the road to salvation begins. By the end of the book, Wilbur wins 1st prize at the county fair and Charlotte, having saved the once near death pig, dies. Before she dies, she has thousands of babies to carry on her legacy.
So we have the American economy that due to phenomenal mismanagement by Democrat controlled Freddie and Fannie Mac lending policies and the abuse of greedy Wall Street interests has spiraled into a full blown recession. Along comes Barack Obama, an eloquent speaker who spins his web for the American people. His first web spells out the words "CHANGE". Not an amazing word, but after 8 years of listening to George Bush butcher his English, he sounds like an angel. People begin to perk up as he gets their attention. His next word is "HOPE". Neither words have any real substance but with his opponent McCain being an old guy and his running mate being made the laughing stock by the media, it garners more Americans to his cause.
His next web was "VICTORY" after he vanquished his opponents and became the presumptive president. All during that time we heard everything about him but the brand of cigarette he smokes. He began making policy before he was even installed into office. And again the media fawned on his public image like bees to pollen. Now that we have him in office, he is pushing through one of the most destructive measures ever introduced by the monolithic self interest monopoly called Congress. His latest web spells "STIMULUS" but it looks amazingly like what a butchered Wilbur would look like; "PORK". The conservative interest have branded it porkulus and after hearing the sections explained does nothing but pump money into programs that have already wasted years of our tax payers dollars and have nothing to show. Nothing in the bill provides stimulus that will create any permanent improvement in the economy. Maybe his next web will be "EXCUSE".
