Is Barack Obama Max Bialystock? [Updated]

By Larry Johnson on November 13, 2008 at 10:15 PM in Current Affairs

[Updated--We have found definitive proof that Mel Brooks was the mastermind of the Barack Obama campaign. Check out the image below the fold. I swear this is from the most recent movie version of the Producers and was not created for this post. Is Barack Obama a closet Mel Brooks fan? Just asking.]

Further emerging evidence that Barack Obama is the first Jewish President. Let’s ignore for the moment his selection of Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of Staff and his chutzpah in demanding that prospective employees dish all the dirt that may exist in their lives to date. Nope. Turns out that Barack is acting suspiciously like Max Bialystock, the “enterprising” Broadway producer in the Mel Brooks movie, The Producers, who sold 100% ownership of the musical, Spring Time for Hitler, to dozens of unsuspecting spinsters. Is Barack acting or is he channeling [say, like one of those Nancy Reagan seances (sic)]?

Max Bialystock got his show on Broadway by promising different investors that they were the only investor. Barack Obama we now learn has promised high posts in his Administration to different people. Word is that candidate Obama promised the Secretary of State job to John Kerry and Governor Bill Richardson. But only one can get the job. Same for Attorney General. Turns out that Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and former Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder have each been promised that they would get the job. Oh, my.

But wait, there is more. Check out this video from the musical.

I don’t think it is a mere coincidence that Obama’s disciples chanted, “YES WE CAN,” while Max Bialystock persuades his partner, “WE CAN DO IT.”

I am beginning to suspect that Barack Obama’s campaign was designed and executed by Mel Brooks. Here is a screen shot from the musical number (I posted the You Tube version below) that clearly shows that Barack Obama got his “O” from this show. No?

It is clear to me we need a new song, Spring Time for Obama.

    The difference will be that The Producers wanted their production to be a flop, but it was a hit.

    • bert

      And Obama wants his administration to be a hit but it will end up being a flop. Karma and poetic justice all rolled into one.

        OBonaparte has been propped up as a deity and can only go downhill from here as he falls from grace, so to speak.

        Popcorn anyone? :shock:

        • BJ

          “OBonaparte… ”

          roflmfao – you’re a crack up, where do you come up with these.. or do you just steal lines like The One does?

          :roll:

          • Julia Perry

            forgive the Me Too, but popcorn and the OBonaparte sincerely gave me the first LOL in possibly a week! Thanks a bunch

    The fun and games just keep on coming.

    Note to comedians — YES YOU CAN — make fun of the ONE!

    With this much comedy material — any comedian who doesn’t find something funny here — should be out of work!

    • Elinor

      David Alan Grier on Comedy Central’s “Chocolate News” is the only comedian I’ve seen so far that is willing to make hard-hitting jokes about Obama.

      Even though I get the impression he admires Obama, he still seems to be able to see the potential comedy gold mine.

      • oowawa

        the potential comedy gold mine.

        Yes, right now The Precious is a comedy bonanza. I mean, even his name is a riot–there’s so much you can do with it. And then there’s the phony pompous Messianic pretentiousness! And his past associates–terrorists, ridiculous clergymen, convicted felons–Wow! We won’t even mention his wife–she’s off the table. But the mole! The comics have barely started on the mole yet!

        But I have a feeling we better take advantage of the comedic possibilities right now while we can. I mean, once that German guy got total control, it wasn’t much fun running him down anymore. In fact, it got really dangerous. So let us weisenheim over The Ineffable One while we still can, because the comedic outlook for tomorrow looks very unsettled.

    • elise

      NWrain, did you hear the one about Obama being born twice; first four years before Selma,Al and the second time, after Selma? The first time was a distraction.

  • EightBelles

    If indeed it is “spring time for Obama,” wonder who it’s gonna be winter for? The Clintons? Red States (as in Republican, I should clarify)? Possibly too much close proximity to Hitler’s twin, Axelrod, puts Mr. Obama in his own little “Fourth” Reich state of mind. If Barack Obama turns out to be our first Jewish president, I betcha Richardson will swallow that moustache and beard–you know the one he shaves off every time he thinks he’s about to tapped for office by BO…

      Too funny!

      • snosandy

        Creepy!

  • Dawnelle

    I can’t see him bleeding another Dem Senator after losing Joe and bambi himself – plus Bill R brought home New Mexico for “the ONE” and was an EARLY ass kisser, an EARLY Judas!

    AG? hmm…

    Deval would be too obvious – but I guess he OWES him since he stole his speech

    no way would he give a woman a job that important – jmo

    • Dawnelle

      he’ll probably appoint Kerry to the Supreme Court

      he SHOULD appoint HILLARY

    …and you know what goes best on a Bialy…salmon. And something sure smells fishy with Barry. lol

  • Lyn

    I like how they all walk thru the giant “O”, so we can even keep the set

  • BJ

    Interesting post about The One-

    Obama’s birth country but no link given for proof of article-

    still worthy of a look-

    • Lyn

      That’s an API post from a couple days ago

      • John Smith

        I don’t believe anything from API. They are a bunch of crooks.

  • Mandelay

    This is the best, Larry … very, very funny comparison. Maybe they can “job share” — Kerry and Richardson split the job, each taking 6 months a year and we can say the job is filled by Kerryson? This way they only need one office, one computer, one copy machine, etc. Or, he can announce that Condi just won’t go…

  • Strawberrybitch

    Very funny Larry…but I must confess, I love the original with Zero and Gene. My kids know the movie line by line. Don’t even ask what happened when my son broke into Springtime for Hitler on the playground. It seems there are very few Mel Brooks fans in the second grade.

    • BJ

      ahhh Zero Mostel

      the good ole days-

      Jimmy Darante

      Cary Grant

      David Niven

      I miss all the good old movies-

      I would buy tickets to watch your boy do that. Give him extra ice cream for his effort. Laugh out loud funny.

    Bialystock & Bloom, Good da Good Day.

    My favorite part of the Movie, if there could be one favorite.

    Never saw the remake cause you don’t mess with perfection.

    My comment has absolutely nothing to do with BO because I can’t put his image into one of my favorite movies. He’s ruined too much in my life already!!!!

  • DAB

    I think that Obama should fill out one of his own 7-page highly detailed interrogation forms for those who want to join his administration. After a thorough review and vetting, I’m sure he’ll realize that he has too many skeletons in his closet, he isn’t really qualified to be Leader of the Free World and he hasn’t a clue about solve that stupid financial mess.

    Then he can hand the reigns over to Hillary Clinton, who meets the criteria and has worked her heart out to get him elected. He can then slink back to Chicago and do whatever it is that Chicagoans do.

  • rjj

    Why do I think this a gambit. Make her an employee who serves at the pleasure of the chief executive. After a year or so, she can be fired and sent back to that obscure upscale suburb in New York.

  • elise

    Makes perfect sense to me, Larry. It’s clear it was an unbelievable farce.

  • FenelonSpoke

    That was really funny, Larry, and I needed a laugh; Thanks.

    This is instructive. Larry’s hate for Obama is so mindless that he spends his day looking up video clips of musicals to adorn his message that Obama is Hitler.

    That tears it. This Hitler crack is going in his Wikipedia entry.

    The “whitey” story was low enough, but this is rock bottom. Playing the Hitler card is always an admission that you have no ideas or standards left — just blind hate and stupidity.

    And he’s doing something similar to Colin Powell in another thread: gratitious, scatalogical insults against an honorable man. Why? The fact that Powell spoke out eloquently and powerfully for Obama (and against the bigotry of Obama’s critics) seems a plausible explanation.

    And this hypocrite says McCain has “no decency.”

    Larry has lost his grip…and his reputation.
