Shot in the Dark

Pay No Attention

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

President Obama reminds me of the Wizard of Oz.

He claims to have God-like powers and therefore is entitled to do whatever he wants to do.

But he doesn’t actually have any powers; it’s all billowing smoke and scornful talk.

But people Believe he has the powers, so they let him get away with doing whatever he wants to do, just as if he actually did have the powers.

Until Toto pulls back the curtain; then, the fraud is revealed.

We need Toto around here.  The sooner the better.

Joe Doakes

The big difference?  The Wizard of Oz protested the truth of his powers until he couldn’t anymore.  Obama seems to have checked out even as the little yappy dogs swarm over his administraiton.

    It’s too late for Toto to do any good. The Wizard of FOD (Foreign Oligarch Destruction) has filled his side-show balloon with America’s Courage, Wisdom and Heart; set Kansas on fire and is ready to float off.

    He’s leaving the Wicked Witch rested, tanned and ready to pick up where he left off.

    There’s not even any Munchkins left to help…they’ve been sold off as parts.

    If we’re drawing analogies, WHO are the flying monkeys?

    No, I don’t, Swift. I was trolled, mercilessly, by the atheists. I never went back.
