There’s pork in Obama’s political package!? Of course there is. Let’s not expect the entire world of his administration coming off such a sludge fest as we just did. Already I am hearing the comments that President Obama is obviously too good to be true. Isn’t it our ignoring of the too good to be true feeling that put us where we are anyway? Didn’t we just blatently let our government and financial advisors to the free markets comfort our sinking feeling with false hope?
A perfect metaphor of this happened tonight with a friend and I going out to dinner at Foreign Cinema because it is Dine about Town here in San Francisco. The deal is 34.95 for a 3-course meal at countless reputable restaurants in the city which of course appears to be just too good to be true. Here the advertisers lead me to believe that I would be enjoying the same experience I would of the restaurant at a cheap price! Unfortunately this initial comfort causes me to purchase a drink and ask for bread which both are later revealed to be priced high enough to make up for the food discount at the very least. We both quickly realized the offer had made us spend out of our buying power bracket. My initial reaction was to immediately start to dissect the meal and decry its morsels of weakness. I think it was the movie playing on the wall that caused me to reflect upon the moment and realize what really had happened. If it wasnt for the too good to be true offer in the first place, my friend and I would not have probably made it out to this place we wanted to come to so badly and order a full 3-course meal with a drink (or 2 now that I recall) and had such a wonderful evening. You can’t enjoy life if you don’t take risks. You can’t live the American Dream if you don’t take risks.
It is exactly this falling for the too good to be true feeling that American needs to fearlessly embrace again. Clearly we must weigh the weight of our risks with much more scrutiny that we did before dining out but the idea is the same. We must all reach back up for the American dream that is idolized and admired by countries and people all ovcr the globe. This young, beautiful, powerful country was created by people that completely believed the hype and made all the good true.
I am glad to see President Obama is bringing the full menu to everyone at the table so that we at least get to see all the hidden fees up front. We all knew they were going to be there but you don’t think about them as much when you don’t see them. I think we all end up being happy customers when we see what we are paying for. Especially if its good food…..or good bailouts. Pick your fancy.

(the exact pie I ate tonight except only 2 brandied cherries and that cream blob was humping the cake)

It’s been one hell of a week if I had to say so myself. I will also say so for Mr. Obama without his direct permission for a quote. I just have this feeling being the first black leader of the Free World filled with throngs of hopeful citizens waiting for change sun up to sun down has to be a little daunting. I’m not sure which angle he is being analyzed at is worse or where to even begin taking my own look.
Luckily, my left-handed leader appears much more able to clear than air than what I imagine the McCain/Palin party would be doing right now. Somehow I think the signal for a close to Guantanamo would have been the signal for the opening of Guantanamo II, The Alaskan Refuge (Refuse?). Palin would have started catching and converting the criminals on the West coast herself leaving Cheney to cruise the halls of Gitmo for some down home “chatting”. I’m not sure how we pulled off opening our own military style Ibiza in the first place but I’m looking forward to it’s proper closure and transfer of criminals back to a land where a law exists for both sides.
Me, I sold T-shirts, ate some afghan food, and watched a bunch of 30 Rock episodes (Tina Fey is a lefty!!!! and supports Obama! although maybe not im in Season 2 and she revealed her inner truths).
Winner: Mr. Obama
Speaking of both sides….I am glad to see once again Barrack has chosen to let neither political side truly have a say in a woman’s right to abortion by allowing funding to return to places that perform them and promote birth control. The priorities of President’s is interesting to watch as this was G Dubs first order on the first day in office.
I supported a woman’s right to other women outside Cafe du Nord Saturday night and we made it our top priority to be friends from that moment forward. So…..
Winner: Obama (practically a freebie)
Mr. Obama is once again on the verge of letting researchers take advantage of the power of stem cells to hopefully regenerate life for many who have lost some form of theirs. The last eight years truly illustrated the lack of separation of church and state and I am overjoyed that if nothing else President Obama puts back as best a wall he can to allow science to continue without the pressures of religious dogma staring it down. ”To restore America’s competitiveness, we must recruit a new generation of science and technology leaders by investing in diversity.”- Obama. aka more cell lines.
I once again have opened up additional resources to the science side of my life this week by taking my first class at the California Academy of Science Docent program. There I will be enlightening the masses with the absolute beauty of science in countless forms. Hopefully one day we can all appreciate the value of science in every aspect of our lives and will be ready and willing to share our cell lines.
Winner: Tie (Both of us haven’t completed our goals but the potential for change is equally there for both)
Mr. Obama also signed an executive order to forbid the use of torture along w/ the Guantanamo plug pulling in hopes of allowing us to once again be considered a civil society as we portray ourselves so well in media and gossip magazines. Hopefully slowly but surely we can look past the days of waterboarding and Abu Ghraib F’ed up Funhouse Time and consider those dark times we have once again tried to move beyond. It will not only the orders being signed and created but the clarity to the people to prove they are being followed to win back the American trust this economy and society is desperately in need of.
I did not hit anyone this week! Or torture!
Winner: Me (sorry Obama but I took a much more simpler route and was able to complete more of the task)
That makes the score: Obama 2, Me 1 and 1 Tie.
I can’t say that I’m not happy to see that Obama has beat me in the overall productivity and world-changing department in his first week but I definitely think I put up a good fight. If I had some prisons to close or a past CEO religious hooligan to clean up from I probably would have had more point earning potential too!
In any case, I am happy to report that we have less than 30 Shirts (Tina where you at?) left from our first print run of LeftyLikeMe.com and I can’t be any prouder of the success of this endeavour so far. I truly hope to make this a very unique and fun sight for lefties (and those people that think they are right) to come and share their stories, opinions, and artwork with a community of fellow fans. I am going to try and stay up with our first lefty-honored President and keep up with the communications on a regular basis and keep this going in the right direction. I am thankful to my small group of personal bail outs that I have behind the scenes investing their time into slowly making this ugly baby of a site shine. In the very near future we will have a section specifically designed to share art of fans and members focusing on a certain lefty theme but for now we are staying with the Lefty Liberal Ladies Man himself President Obama. So jump on the message boards and post your comments. Start uploading (I hope that is possible now but if not soon!) your own fan art (photos/collages/poems) and start coming up with some ideas for Lefty Like Me logos because the contest ends Feb. 20th and we are actually giving away a prize!!!!!!! (I hope this technically allows me to put game show host as a job title somehow….somewhere). Check the forums for the prize info (hint: you could use it to display a lot of letfy artwork with it).
Thank you all 0ur newest LeftyLikeMe fans rocking the shirts out there and get ready for #2. I think my next one is really going to heat things up……

Welcome to our blog blog:
For the first T-shirt, we are going to let Obamii himself sell the shirt and tell you all the reasons why you should join him in his movement. For all legal purposes we are in no way related to Nintendo or the Nintendo Wii nor does this site condone the following comments made by Mr. Obamii. These comments are also in no way a true reflection of President Obama or have any relation whatsoever. It just seemed funny.
Obamii: Ladies and Gentlemen. People and Avatars. Today is the dawn of a new day. Today we march together towards a new hope and a change that has been calling out. Around the country and the entire globe there are millions of people being neglected on a daily basis. Now I will leave President Obama to deal with those people…..because I am worried about a different kind of people. I am worried about only the truly left. I am worried about the hundreds of tens of people who are killed each year from right handed products. I am worried about the woman in Wasilla who is afraid to go to the mailbox because she knows it will only remind her of all the coupons that she doesn’t have the proper scissors to cut them with because they don’t carry them in her area. I am worried about those couple students that walk into classrooms across America and have to compete for the one or two left handed desks in their classrooms. Ladies and Gentlemen I am worried about the left….because it just doesn’t seem right for them.
Now you wonder. What do I know? Who am I? I am not President Barrack Obama? No. But we are still very similar people. Do not think it is just that we look alike.
First thing, President Obama officially has moved to the white house and I have been at my own since the beginning.
Obama has some crazy fans…..who have crazy fans….and it goes on.
I, of course, have some crazy fans. Unfortunately I am not allowed to post a picture of their crazy fans.
Obama also is a man that votes for the people.
And I, too, vote with everybody.
As you can tell we have come from similar paths and will probably face similar ends as we are replaced by the next big thing that awes the masses. Yet I hope we can both leave a mark that will last forever. A mark that will show when Americans and Avatar-Americans took the right path again. The left path…..because left is right again.
Stay tuned for my weekly discussions as I take place in my virtual office and delegate to you my newest constituents. Until then, congratulations Americans for finally getting out of the bush and back in the ballgame. Go America! Go Obama! Join the Million Mii march and support a cause!
Sincerely
Obamii, Leader of the Million Mii March for Obama
