“Nice Guy” Obama

Obama seemed like the nicest guy when he came to office. We all felt that he would shake this cruel world by its scuff and make this planet a more peaceful place. The countries would purr with good neighborliness.

Obama and Midsummer Night’s Dream

Remember Seoul Korea when Obama said to Medvedev on an open mike, “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for (Putin) to give me space.”

Cozying Up To Dictators

When you go to bed with dictators you get fleas. Simple minded Joe Kennedy is itching after he praised Hugo Chavez for providing us oil to heat our seniors. After Hurricane Isaac, the highest gas prices in New York are by CITGO--$4.79 per gallon.

Bill Clinton, the first Black President, Demeans Blacks

Bill Clinton said about Obama in 2008 that, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.” He also said, “A few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee.”

At Bain Capital Romney was not the President of the United States

Obama has been criticizing Romney for outsourcing jobs while he was the head of Bain Capital. Not true but big deal. It is not the responsibility of a CEO to watch over the American economy. That is the responsibility of a President. That was and is Barack Obama’s job, regardless of the false accusations of outsourcing by Romney.

I Deserved to be Frisked

What kind of wimp is worried about being profiled? Boohoo, why do you think I might be bad? I could cry. Give me a break. Please don’t mistake me for a criminal. It hurts so bad.

In the Other Corner

In Brooklyn, the land of liberal redundancy and mock thought, I am in the other corner.

PREFACE

I started boxing in Gleason’s Gym in 1984. I was a ranked tennis player. I was also a ranked ski racer but that has nothing to do with this. Someone in my tennis club locker room said he was going to try boxing. In those days no white collar people boxed. It sounded freakish but a few weeks later I myself started. I didn’t think I’d last. I figured it would be a nice dilettantish diversion. It would feed me with stories for social events. Maybe I’d amuse myself for a few months.

Against Protestors

I hate protestors. Call me un-American. But I consider it ill-mannered to disrupt other people’s lives in order to promote the protestors’ clichéd utopian visions. Breaking windows or blocking people on their way to work does not further the spread of wealth.

Put Obama on a five-year green, do-nothing energy plan

Environmentalists are a danger. Green Obama keeps shoveling money into ridiculous alternative energy projects which flop. He boasts about his adherence to a utopian field which has never worked efficiently or fiscally.

Welcome to the School for Dunces

Every day we delay the death penalty on the Gitmo detainees we give the prisoners another day of the gift of life. Why we should want to give Khalid Sheik Mohammad a gift startles me. He murdered three thousand people and grief-struck thousands of their relatives. Our treating him to more life sounds like a form of insanity. Obama boasts that’s the American way. Is it the American way to disrespect our citizens and give murderers freebees? Is it the American tradition to do unto others better than they have done unto you? The scales of justice tip to the side of the despicable.

Democrats are Star Kissers

While Democrats despise Wall Streeters they laud the wealth and celebrity of rock and movie stars. If Tom Cruise gets 20 million a film or Paul McCartney is a billionaire so much the better. Democrats are superficial and like glitter. They like bling. They call Obama a rock star. They love panache and flame. They wear invisible gold stars on their cheeks.

Lack of Voter ID will Create More Fraud than Disenfranchisement

Holder and Obama oppose state voter ID laws. This is ridiculous. The amount of ethnic minorities that will be prevented from voting because of lack of ID would be minimal. The amount of fraud that would go on because of the lack of ID’s would be humongous.

The Turk Hates Republicans

At Gleason’s gym I call him the Turk. He is 6’3’’ and two hundred and seventy pounds. He fought on the Turkish Olympic boxing development team. The guy is great—friendly, jovial and polite. He cooperates with me and spars with some of my students, never throwing a sucker punch.

Hope and Change

Obama ran on hope and change. He hoped to change Bush’s policies. Now Romney is running on hope and change. He is hoping to change Obama’s policies. I hope he does.

A Puppet on the Strings

Obama, speaking into an open mike, tells Sarkozy that he can’t stand Netanyahu, “You’re tired of him; what about me? I have to deal with him every day.”

Vote for Romney

Stupid conservatives hate Romney. Well, there are some bright Democrats out there. Maybe we can wake them up from their Obama-gyrations and get them to vote for Romney to oppose the conservatives who want Santorum and the stuck-in-their-ways Democrats who won’t admit that Obama is failing. Romney deserves better voters than the pro-Santorum conservatives and the Obama ideologues.

Fake Charity

Charity is not charitable. It is the false goodness of doing good for strangers. You don’t know strangers, so you don’t have to be responsible for them after you buy them with your donation.

Obama, the Babe Ruth of Health Care

Obama is going for homeruns. He wants to change the entire health care system. Only a grandiose, paranoid person would try to do something so large that its ramifications couldn’t be predicted.

A Hole in None

Obama points his finger at the Republicans (in fact he points that darn finger at almost everyone) and says that Republicans have “one message and that is, we’re going to make sure that we cut people’s taxes even more — so that by every objective measure our deficit is worse and we will slash government investments that have made this country great.”

When I was Young I was a Liberal/Socialist/Communist

Let this be a warning that communism is the last refuge of the unambitious and those fearful of a free trade society. When I was a rich kid in Great Neck North High School, I had no idea what I wanted to do in life. I hung out, got high and got into fights.
