As an addiction counselor, I LOVE THIS POST!!!!! Thanks so much! Perfection!

PS I refer to the Obots with bumper stickers on their cars STILL as wearing the “Scarlett O.”

Did she get a cabinet appointment? If not maybe she’s mad. She was the one defending him most the time, coming up with some real zingers toward Hillary and the other side. She was the Queen Obot. Obama doesn’t seem to have a whole lot of respect for those that were groveling at his feet during the primaries. Please take me with you oh great one…

OMG that is classic. Here it is, ABC News http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/03/mccaskill-obama.html

“What this man has done, Barack Obama, is, he, for the first time I think, as a black leader in America, has come to the American people not as a victim, but rather as a leader.”

Perhaps we can switch their mantra to “Just do it!!”. I think some sneaker company used that a few years back. It sure is applicable to Obummer. Heh.

I’m so glad you included the “I don’t understand!” line. It’s incredible that a group managed to make their failure to understand into a point of argument, and that they truly couldn’t distinguish ignorance from factual points of debate.

This was too, too funny, Craig. And God knows, we all need a good laugh. I predicted months ago that once the kool-aide ran out or wore off, even the Obamatrons would start blinking and gasping. I think by the sheer numbers, we’ll need to open numerous walk-in clinics. Until they’re completely detoxified.

Of course, for the hopeless cases, the ones who turned completely deaf and blind, there’s only one remedy: an isolation chamber where we read the long list of broken election promises, Rev. Wright’s sermons and Joe Biden’s favorite jokes, interspersed with rising unemployment figures and Obama’s deadening Saturday morning chats.

Should be heaps of fun!

Thanks for the good laugh. I needed that.

Thank you Craig. My brother and familv live in Portland, OR. I have had many many conversations with them, trying to convince them the Chosen One was not who they thought he was, but to no avail. My sister – in law went ballistic on me at Thanksgiving dinner when I visited them last Nov., since I was definitely Anti-Obama and dared to defend Sarah Palin who was being unfairly trashed in the media (we are all life-long democrats). This must have been what the civil war was like in the U.S. in the 1860’s: families on both sides of the U.S., north and south divided them with ideologies that caused serious problems among family members. I keep still cautiously sending articles to them trying to get them to realize Obama is a fraud but so far nothing. I feel like someone in my family has to keep their wits and thank goodness I am doing this for all our sakes while so many have fallen asleep under the Kool-Aid. They still make excuses for him and probably will do so for a long while. If/when they awaken, Will I say I TOLD YOU SO? You betcha!!!

Very, very funny!
I was blessed not to be exposed to any bots in my life or neighborhood! Thanks is much too mild a word!
Regarding your step six, I have to tell an off topic story.
Just a couple of weeks ago, an intruder went into an older lady’s home. She met him at the kitchen door and rung his chimes several times with a heavy saucepan.
Foolish, yes, but the guy left faster than he came in! I gave her a big woo-hoo when she showed her moves on T.V.!

Great post!
In my neighborhood the signs have come down, replaced by Obamawear: hats, shirts, sweatshirts…
I’m guessing that many citizens, who have never particularly paid attention or been in any way active politically, got caught up in the hopey-changey frenzy. Now that they’ve Made History, they’re free to return to the delicious oblivion of reality TV, challenging the more wakeful among us to increase our vigilence.
While I’m starting to hear some critical thinking, it’s generally prefaced by an oath of fealty to The One. I hear echoes of the primaries and believe that The O Team has done a great job of instilling fear in potential critics, vis a vis playing the race card.
Be compassionate with the OBOTS – they will engage in denial and blaming. They will accuse those close to them of not understanding. They will experience a profound sense of loneliness and isolation as they struggle to find a new place of belonging. They will be forced to confront deep loss and dissapointment as they begin to understand the utter emptiness of the object of their addiction. Recovery can be a long and painful process…

I’m responding a little late to the above comments about Claire McCaskell as I am just catching up on events after digging out from a blizzard. My husband and I went to highschool with Claire in Columbia, Missouri. She was a ditzy, rah rah cheerleader then and I do not see much hope for any change in her behavior now. I also wrote her a letter, but she did not respond to me. We had a graduating class of 600 or thereabouts so she would not have recognized my name. I guess she didn’t have the time to bother with someone outside Obama land.

She is starting to face reality that “drinking the koolaid” may cost her the next election. I hope no woman will ever vote for her again.
