“Barack’s and Michele’s (Alice’s) Restaurant”

Read this to the tune of Arlo Gutherie’s Alice’s Restaurant Massacree

With his speech Sunday evening, I believe President Obama tipped his hand regarding his plans for after he leaves the White House in 2017 (that is, if indeed, he does leave in 2017).

I must admit I didn’t watch the President’s speech. Instead I viewed some old tapes of “Cake Boss” which I have saved for just such occasions. Those shows are always far more enlightening than anything Mr. Obama utters…and most importantly, infinitely more honest and pertinent to the issues of the day.

But, back to “The Speech” and what it might tell us about Obama’s plans for the future.

Based on his grasp of the threats facing America and the world, and his competence and commitment and honesty to deal with them, I see Mr. Obama, in blissful retirement, opening a chain of restaurants, called “Barack’s Nothingburgers”, with the slogan, “Would you like some horseshit with that burger?”

Certainly there’s a ready market for his product…all those Democratic voters who’ve been eating it for going on 8 years.

From Fred Barnes writing at The Weekly Standard  — the speech was scary both for what it failed to say and even what it did say.

The President’s Scary Speech    (excerpt)

There are so many reassuring things he could have said. I’m dramatically increasing the number and intensity of air strikes against ISIS in Iran and Syria. I’m halting my plan to close the terrorist prison at Guantanamo and free the incorrigible jihadists no country is willing to take. I’m putting on hold the Syrian refugee program until we developed a process of vetting the refugees in a tougher, unforgiving, and as foolproof as possible way. We heard none of that last night.

There were two surprises, at least for me. I assumed Obama wouldn’t allow his obsession with gun control to force its way into his address. I was wrong. Dwelling on gun control was entirely out of place since nothing the president and his allies are proposing would have prevented the San Bernardino terrorists from acquiring their weapons.

And I suspected he’d spare us another rendition of his tale of a wave of vicious discrimination against innocent Muslims in this country. Instead he dwelled on it, though the wave is nonexistent.
