Today President Obama crossed the line of what is acceptable behaviour and displayed egrarious behaviour in enriching and fattening himself from his office. I must say it does not please me in any way to write this diary but it is incumbant upon all of us to stay ahead of the GOP slime machine that has now been handed a golden opportunity to resurrect a party hooked to life support. I am sure that this one could even make Micheal Steele hip hop his way to the pantheon of Republican leadership on a par with Newt Gingrich and Roy Blunt. There is no doubt that the powerful Republican Minority will be able to ride this to a resurection unlike any we have seen in recent years. And Alternate President Limbaugh hasn't even warmed up his vocal cords yet. We eagerly wait his wisdom and guidance on this still baking issue. The crime? Follow the crumbs......
Today, in a far off land few Americans are aware of, President Obama took advantage of his office to personally enrich and fatten his own family. In the midst of a visit to Canada,thinly diguised as some sort of diplomatic foray, the President, unaware the eyes of he world were upon him, played hooky from meetings with various Canadian officials ( apparently, since FDR - I think- the first foreign trip for most new Presidents* is to Canada. Something or other to do with being the worlds largest trading partners. Not to mention that Canada has fought a lot wars since it's birth in 1867 -- and except for one of them the U.S. has been an ally in all them. Bit of a history there. * G.W. Bush----surprise, surprise. ) and ran off to a local Market in the historical/tourist part of downtown. Once there he went on a shopping spree, contributing to the local economy ( which no doubt Canadians are grateful for ) untill the fateful moment ----- the cookies.
The President, no doubt intoxicated by the enthralled crowds ( being so very unexposed to such a situation I am sure ) then approached a bakery stand and promptly ordered up some cookies ' for his daughters'. As he went to pay for them the server absolutly refused payment and insisted they were ' on the house' or 'your money is no good here'..I think it was the former...
And there lies the problem. Unless I am mistaken it is not allowed for a President to accept gift's, that all such items recieved are, in fact, the property of the People of the United States.
He took those cookies to fatten his own family.
And now there is a crisis. There is no doubt that tommorow there will be a joint conferance with House Minority Leader Boner ( who will no doubt have lost his normally healthy glow in shock at the high crimes and misdemeanors commited ) and Mitch McConnel, vowing to get to the bottom of this, while adding " This should not affect the positive efforts we have been making to achieve a spirit of bipartisonship that are plain for all to see. We are sure that our counterparts across the aisle will see it our way as we fairly investigate and impeach this President." All this will happen, of course, immediatly following Rush's instructions transmitted through their devious communications machine that is available only to those without access to either cable or the intertubes. I think they call it radio. Once the beams have been transmitted the aforementioned powerful Republican Minority will have brrn whipped up into a frenzy. And it will be all over. The cookie will crumble in the form of Impeachment Proceedings. These Republicans are just too powerful and smart for anyone to think they can oppose them for long........
Think I'm reaching? They've tried with less!
