Yesterday, the 44th President of the United States of America, spoke to a crowd of college students at George Mason University.
Perhaps in an effort to find a new profession in preparation for November 6th, when he gets booted out of office, the president tried out his D.L. Hughley imitation:
President Barack Obama has a diagnosis for what he considers rival Mitt Romney’s shifting positions: Call it a case of “Romnesia.”
Making a direct gender-pitch in hotly contested Virginia, Obama tells a college crowd that when it comes to issues important to women’s health and jobs, Romney has conveniently overlooked his past stands.
“He’s forgetting what his own positions are — and he’s betting that you will too,” Obama told an audience of 9,000 at George Mason University. “I mean he’s changing up so much and backtracking and sidestepping. We’ve got to name this condition that he’s going through. I think it’s called Romnesia.”
Obama, a broad grin on his face, borrowed heavily from the style of comedian Jeff Foxworthy, known for his “you might be a redneck” standup routines.
“If you say you’ll protect a woman’s right to choose, but you stand up at a primary debate and said that you’d be ‘delighted’ to sign a law outlawing that right to choose in all cases, man, you’ve definitely got Romnesia,” he said.
Riffing as if he was still delivering one liners at Thursday night’s Catholic charity dinner in New York, Obama said he had good news for anyone who suffers from Romnesia. “Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions,” he bellowed. “We can fix you up. We’ve got a cure! We can make you well, Virginia.”
Obama renewed his criticism of Romney’s economic plan, quoting a line in a New York Times column by economist Paul Krugman. “There’s no jobs plan. There’s just a snow job on the American people.”
Obama added, “If he offered you that deal when he was in corporate finance, you wouldn’t give him a dime.” So why, Obama asked, would voters cast their ballots for him.
Obama’s message was aimed at suburban women who form a formidable voting bloc in northern Virginia. The president raised once more Romney’s comment during the second debate that he received “binders full of women” when he sought to diversify his cabinet as Massachusetts governor. “You don’t want somebody who needs to ask for binders full of women. You don’t want that guy,” Obama said
So, while scores of Americans are trying to figure out how to pay their bills and put food on their tables, the President is out cracking jokes.
In the spirit of Barack Hussein Obama’s jocularity in front of those young minds full of mush yesterday, I’ve decided to do a little stand-up (while sitting down) myself.
Just keep reading. You’ll catch on.
If you refer to babies as a punishment, instead of a blessing…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If you expect American taxpayers to pay $3,000 a year for a 30 year old professional student’s, who can’t keep her legs together, contraception…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If gas was $1.79 when you became president, and now, it’s $4.00 a gallon …that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If you pass a Stimulus Bill, shortly after becoming president, that actually costs $3.27 Trillion, or $10,000 per American family, which winds up being nothing but pork-barrel spending…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If you campaigned on promoting bi-partisanship, and you foster a four-year long fight between America’s Political Parties…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If Welfare jumps 32% during your presidency…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If about 11-12 million Americans will be subject to the individual mandate’s penalties under the “Affordable Care Act” you shoved down Americans’ throats — and half will simply opt to pay the tax…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If your Smart Power! Foreign Policy entails alienating our Allies and embracing our enemies…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If you refer to the murder of four Americans by Muslim Terrorists as “not optimal”…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If you run off to a Las Vegas Campaign Fundraiser, instead of handling your presidential duties during the siege of an American Consulate in Libya…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If you stand in front of the UN General Assembly and blame the murder of four Americans at the US Consulate in Libya on a stupid Youtube video, which no one has even seen, when you know that al Qaeda murdered them…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If you remark, regarding a teen-age thug, who was killed by a neighborhood watch member that was having the back of his head slammed repeatably against the sidewalk, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.”…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If you describe Americans, living in rural Pennsylvania, as “bitterly clinging” to their guns and Bibles…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If your wife, the First Wookie, err…Lady, decides she knows better than parents and grandparents what their schoolchildren should eat for lunch…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If your wife takes lavish vacations , in-country and out, for four years, on the taxpayers’ dime, totaling over $1,000,000…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
If you proclaim after taking office that, “America is no longer just a Christian Nation.”, knowing that this nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and to this day, contains a population that is 78% Christian…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
And, finally…if you do your best, through a combination of arrogance, naivety, pomposity, bad manners, aloofness, and pure and total b.s., to turn the greatest nation of God’s green Earth into a Third-World Socialist country…that’s not Rhomnesia. That’s an Obamanation.
…And, on November 6th, we’re not going to give you a second chance.
