Barack Obama’s Outer Limits
“We live in a egocentric age where many of us believe we are the sun in our own universe but what happens when these illusions collide with reality?” (1)
There is nothing wrong with your life. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. Obama is now controlling the transmission. Obama controls the horizontal, and the vertical. Barack can deluge you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity – and beyond. Barack and Biden can shape your vision to anything their imagination can conceive. For the next four years, we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to… Obama’s Outer Limits!
Hopefully, Barack has a better sense of humor than his supporters?
Barack Obama claims our Constitution reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day…
On January 20, 2009, Super ‘O’bama will swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, a Constitution he believes has been and is fundamentally flawed.
Apparently, our fathers, brothers, and these men fought in vain for our natural liberty and our nation…
| “ | It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it. | ” |
| “ | America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded. Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. | ” |
In closing,
“We can’t expect the American people to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.” – Nikita Khrushchev who noted America’s transition from liberty to State serfdom requires small doses of indoctrination.
“It is freedom itself that still hangs in the balance, and freedom is never more than one generation from extinction.” -Ronald Reagan
| “ | History shows that great nations rise and great nations fall, but the autopsy of history is that all great nations commit suicide.” I believe that America is headed in that direction | ” |

Hi Speedcat,
A Drive Bye? Do I need to call the Beaver Patrol?
Driving By … HONK HONK!
Hi Bobby and Eric “Speedcat Hollydale” !
As we know, I am approaching Ron Paul in years yet, before I leave the gravity of this third rock, it would be great to see one or both of you become President of these United States!!!
Hi Eric “Speedcat Hollydale” !
Well said!!! I am completely baffled by Americans who seem to want big government to fix the problems. Seems to me, government exists to create more problems versus fixing the problems they create.
“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.” – Thomas Jefferson, the voice of reason for a real refreshing change!
And your Wisdom about “free” money handouts from the government is outstanding!!!
And, Hello, Speedy Speedcat!
Your words, novels, and wisdom are always welcome here, my friend! After my grandchildren fall asleep, I will visit your Hollydale ranch and Dr. Shoals to comment on your latest comedy hits! 
Hi Eric “Speedcat Hollydale” !
No, your comment wasn’t vaporized… WordPress concealed your words deep undercover in the James Bondcat 0007 locker!
Before I can respond to your excellent comment, a few words about the WordPress comment system recently… for some mysterious reason all your names including my Miss Moneypenny name are frequently being held for moderation even though our names are approved for open comments.
I have checked my settings and everything appears to be the same settings I have used since the “decent” beer bottle incident
WordPress reliability seems to change with every new version.
P.S. Seems like I have to approve all my comments with the latest version… very strange.
Hi Bobby!
I love your critical thinking skills and your profound solutions, my friend!
I hope I am wrong about government health care yet, I see government health care without accountability becoming another problem that politicians will pretend to fix while Americans continue to receive inadequate and/or poor health care.
I doubt any government can be pure communism with a classless society. Russian communism did not solve any problems for the working class and I doubt any government social program will solve the problems for the working class.
Hopefully, we understand that the quote of Nikita Khrushchev was not naive or used as evidence of propganda overload? My use of the quote may not have been clear? My use of Nikita Khrushchev words was a reference to the comment of a Obama Supporter (linked to in the previous post) who indicated that humor should not be used to divide us but humor should be created to unite us under the social programs of Obama. Sounds like some people want others to give up their freedoms while they enjoy their own liberty???
I hope your right that most Americans will die to save our freedom if it comes down to it!
Did my first comment vaporize???
Were did I go??
The old standby … give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Wealth distribution creates stagnant rot, and social decay. We have a country that has lost focus. When did we become a people that blames government for not achieving?
The simple fix is changing the American lobby system. Plain and simple, politicians are bought. Their real agenda is NOT motivated by the welfare of the people … excuse the pun
By making lobbist money and contributions a federal crime … our corrupt career political figures would all go into the market. We used to have a system of checks and balances. Now – just CHECKS
“If you took all the capital in America, and distributed it equally …. the rich would be rich again in a year”
Here is a classic and TRUE story.
After Katrina … my brother was working at one of the aid distribution centers. With a check in hand, people went out and bought big screen TV’s, and brought them back to the tents. (????) Many Minnesotans drove down to collect money fraudulantly. I knew some of them from work.
While I am not attempting to make light of a horrible disaster, it is relevant because is shows what “free money” does. It did not tackle the true problem, nor solve anything.
Free money puts a bandage on a growing and infected wound.
I am not sure if Obama’s foriegn policy, financial and taxation ideals, or squeltching the Constitution scares me more. Just wait till his energy ideas take root! Looking forward to my 100,000 dollar solar / wind car. Have you ever noticed the biggest global warming backers are in an SUV by themselves?? I drive a little puddle jumper, and carpool … who really cares more?
Before this goes NOVEL … I really stopped by to say, “Hello Moneypenny” !
One last thought, before we all go crying rivers about how poor we are, how about spending a year in another country? Here we are with a place to live, food, internet, and STILL have opprotunity to become who we want to be. Key word … OPPROTUNITY. It never was free.
Hi Debbie! The only way I could support some socialism, is if the government were tiny with few employees. Actually, I think we don’t really need a president or such a huge senate or house. I would like to see one congressional body with 50 representatives, one for each state. The people could vote on every issue in local polls…lol! Imagine that, we have weekly voting for every issue. If we had free healthcare, it should be a public account with a billboard out front containing all data for everyone to see, getting rid of thousands of unnecessary salaries and positions.
I think the best government is very little government, and any government should be 100% transparent with zero behind close door deals. All lobbyist exchanges should be televised. I would like it if everything in government were televised except for some military and security issues.
Americans will never accept fascism or communism, so I doubt a little socialism will enslave us anymore than we already are. We are all credit slaves! I have faith that if America survives, we will find the best form of government. It maybe much different than it is now, but Americans love freedom to ever lose it. We will die to save our freedom if it comes down to it.
Hi Ed,
P.S. I’m not certain using the quote of Nikita Khrushchev was naive or used as evidence of propganda overload. The inspiration of this post was primarily due to a Obama Supporter who was linked to in the previous post above and who stated that humor should be used to unite not divide. Since Obama is clearly for more social programs and bigger government than the Obama supporter can freely support Obama in his Outer Limits.
Likewise, I should be able to cherish my American Liberty and humorously disagree with her comment about humor and Obama’s big government!

Hi Ed,
I haven’t had the privilege of living on both sides of the Atlantic yet, from my experience Health care was less expensive and better when it was private Health care before the current HMO system. If the government is fully involved in a high taxed ‘free’ health care system that provides poor health care than what will be the health benefits for everyone?
I agree with you that health is the the number one priority in life for everyone yet, I am very concerned that a American government health care system will not provide the quality health care as the Europeans may have.
@ communism as a synonym for socialism??? Do you believe government socialism is not a form of communism? Whether the government socialism is or not communism was not the key point of this post. The key point is the power and size of our government exceeds the limitations of the Constitution. As we know Absolute Power tends to favor corrupt power whether the government is communist, “free,” or includes social programs.
Unfortunately, Obama sounds like every other Washington Politician who uses empty promises to get elected while apparently hiding his agenda from the majority who elected him.
As far as Obama is concerned, time will tell whether he will follow in the footsteps of cousin, Bush or if Barack’s rhetoric will bring about positive change. Wouldn’t it be a refreshing change if the Politicians we elect to represent us discussed the issues honestly instead of sugar coating the nation’s problems with vague terms like “Yes, we can” or “Change, you can believe in” ???
Perhaps, what we need is less blatant attacks and more honest solutions by both commentators and Politicians since both appear to cause more problems versus providing viable solutions that work for everyone…
Cheers,
Debbie Dolphin AKA Miss Moneypenny Undercover (my humorous alias)
A well researched site. I am familair with life on both sides of the Atlantic and I have to say I do get tired of commentators resorting to blatant attacks on “the other view point” when, to my socialist European eyes, opposing view points in US and UK politics are equidistant to the centre, a different shade of beige, rarely getting to the nub of a problem.
Also, referring to communism as a synonym for socialism, what is that all about? Sounds so naive and evidence of propganda overload.
On the positive side, America can still be a fantastic force for good, but it has lost its way in may respects, and unlike the great nation of the 50′s, it needs to look closely at what life has become and reaffirm what life is really all about.
How about a serious reappraisal of screwed up philosophies about health care for instance, then maybe the country can relax a bit and realise that actually, health is the number one priority in life, not things. But something as radical as subsidised or free at delivery health care requires some serious work from the leaders and the people.
Govt needs to stand up to big pharma (like Sweden does capping profits on medication).
Also it requires Americans to eradicate the incredibly selfish and unrealistic US fixation whereby everyone in the country is deemed totally responsible for themselves regardless of the cards they are dealt during their lives. Shit happens even to bright dynamic enterprising people, and being willing and able to help people in need of health care, without bankrupting the individual, is where much European “socialism (with quite high taxation) is a fantastic model to aspire to, not decry as one step from Stalinism.
Overall, maybe Obama can change minds or remind Americans to extend their natural generosity within and beyond the borders. The world needs a strong America.
cheers
Hi Bobby,
Since no man can truly say what true perfection is, who knows if our Constitution was ever intended to be perfect without some minor flaws. Knowing this, our Constitution has served Americans very well for over 200 years protecting our liberty and freedoms!
I know we don’t believe the issue of rich 1% versus poor 99% is a Constitutional issue or problem. Yet, as we know, the rich have always ruled and made the rules. For me, the major issue with Socialism is Rich Socialists enslave people to the government and destroy their individual liberty like Russia did when they killed all the independent farmers to setup communal state farming that produced poor results. If I understand your comment clearly, the problems of rich rule over the poor is not solved by changing our government to be more like socialism.
For example, do the rich Californians pay for “free” college education in their state? I suspect the middle class shoulder the burden of “free” education. If the rich paid for “free” education then our consumer costs would increase to defray the cost of their tax increase. In the end, the income of hard workers is redistributed in both a free market or socialist government tax system. The middle man aka the government receives a larger piece of the pie under socialism.
The only difference between both systems is how free or enslaved we are to the government of rich men. I doubt our public comments like these would be allowed in a complete Socialist State which Obama wants according to his own words. In this post, his video about Constitutional “flaws” is only the tip of the Iceberg.
Yes, the Republicans conservatives seem to vote to keep the rich rich and the poor poor yet, the Democratic Liberals use the notion that they are for the poor and the Republicans are for the rich in order to increase the power of their Liberal Democratic Government.
Consider the Democratic con game also, my friend… If the Republicans are for the rich than they need the rich to keep their power. Likewise, if the Democrats are for the poor than they need the poor to keep their power. Using the Democratic con game, $11 Billion has been spent on world poverty, yet world poverty has not been cured.
So, I wonder which party benefits more from keeping the poor poor since most money the Democrats
stealtake to cure world poverty ends up in their pockets and very little trickles down to the needy. Hopefully, you understand that I do NOT advocate the Republican notion of keeping the rich rich.I believe both parties have effectively increased the gap between rich and poor
and now, Obama believes he can even the score!
Hopefully, we both know that the only ones who benefit are the politicians?
Hi Meleah,
You decoded my secret message!
The creepy part was inspired by a Obama supporter who believes humor should not be used to divide us. The Obama supporter indicated political humor should be created to unite us under Barack which makes my skin crawl knowing our Constitution was created to limit the corrupt power of one man not give him absolute power.
The wisdom of our Founding Fathers was to protect our Liberties whether we agree or disagree with each other on any topic including political humor.
Is the constitution flawed? It is certainly not perfect. Something is flawed in America because it is in deep trouble and less than 1% of the rich have ALL the money while 99% lives in moderate or poor conditions. All I know is the framers would probably puke if they saw what America has become.
You know Debbie, I would actually support some European style socialistic ideas like health care and public college if our government weren’t so corrupted. If college were free, I could actually go to school again. I’ve been trying to get a student loan for three years and they will not give me one. I do realize it would probably kill my credit rating if I did get it.
I think many liberals have their hearts in the right place in wanting to lift people out of poverty and have school and college for everyone – and maybe I’ve read too much Orwell and Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” too many times. It maybe possible to have some socialism mixed into our system, but like you, I guess I’m afraid it may bring other things with it.
Sometimes I think I’m totally wrong about my political beliefs, and maybe we both are. I wish I knew for sure. I know for sure the republican party is wrong about many things and has screwed this country up. Maybe Obama will destroy us all, or maybe he knows more than me and will prove us both wrong. I just don’t know.
I am tired of a political system catered to only the rich. Is it possible that I am just dead wrong about everything? Maybe being so staunchly constitutional has brainwashed me into believing we’re all supposed to be poor.
I feel like conservatives vote to keep the rich rich and the poor poor, Is endless struggle what America is about? I’ve come to the conclusion that nobody knows what they are talking about – especially me…LOL!!!!
That first photo of Obama as Outer Limits is CRAZY cool. (and creepy at the same time.)
Hi Eric “Speedcat Hollydale,”
A mathematician chicken built a super computer???
Thankfully, I missed that Hollydale episode!
I like that show, “Outer Limits” …. they had a mathmatician chicken once that built a super computer that watched what everyone wrote.
