Hang ‘Em High?

Lacking something cheap and vulgar for your Christmas tree? Leave it to Barack and Michelle Obama to provide you with a new benchmark for tackiness and audacity at the White House. For the first time in the history of the White House Historical Association issued White House Christmas ornaments, there is an ornament with the smiling mug of the sitting President. Usually only dead Presidents are featured on the ornaments. I realize it is important that we each have a positive self-image, but Barack Obama’s self-love is so over the top, so excessive that you begin to wonder if it is in fact compensation for a terrible inferiority complex.
Here is the Obama chotsky:

Barack and Michelle now join ranks with one other great Washington DC failure. Can you guess?

That’s right. Old Slam Dunk Tenet himself. Here’s the first clue that Tenet and Obama are not too bright. When the junior aide walks into your office with the “nifty idea” to issue a Christmas ornament with your picture (or that of your family) you ought to have enough common sense to recognize that this is a floating turd of an idea. But both Tenet and Obama embraced the egoism.
What next? A black velvet picture of Barack and Michelle that you can hang next to your picture of dogs playing poker? Would look pretty swell next to that picture of the Las Vegas version of Elvis. Christmas is commercial enough as it is. But trotting out a Barack and Michelle Obama Christmas ornament is a sign that the Chia pets were sold out. If this shoddy trinket shows up in your stocking then you know you have been a bad boy or girl.
