DUmmies dream of Barack the Genie

Wishin' and hopin', that's what the DUmmies are doing now. The denizens of DUmmieland are holding out hope that, in spite of his piss-poor performance so far, their Obamassiah will start to deliver on their delusional dreams. We see the DUmmies rubbing on their genie lamps here in this THREAD, "Here's where you get to name three things you'd like to see President Obama do."

But before we get to the DUmmies, let's sing! Click on one of the music links and sing along!

THAT OLD BARACK MAGIC
Tune: "That Old Black Magic" Louis and Keely Frank

That old Barack magic has me in a trance
That old Barack magic that there's half a chance
The sheer disaster that he's been till now
Will soon be over and he'll act like Mao

The same old tingle Chrissy Matthews felt
Runs up my leg and down below my belt
And such a thrill I get
Hot not chilled I get
I'm so hot, I'm starting to melt

I should keep my cool, but I'm on DU
I hear his name, and I'm insane
Insane with such delusions so grand
That somehow my wish will be his command

He is the genie I've been dreaming of
The lucky star that's shining up above
I'm so bewitched, I start to twitch
And such a thrill I get
Hot not chilled I get
In a swoon
Barking up at the moon
Under that old Barack magic called love

So now let us watch the DUmmies make their wishes, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, the wag tailoring the doggerel, Charles Henrickson, ever the optometrist, is in the [Barackets]:

Here's where you get to name three things you'd like to see President Obama do before the end of this year.

[DUmmie Barack2theFuture starts rubbing on his genie lamp. . . .]

1. Appoint Elizabeth Warren. . . .

[IMPEACH EARL WARREN! No wait. . . .]

1. Appoint Elizabeth Warren as head of protecting consumers from the f***ing g*dd*mned capitalists.

2. Fire Summers and Geithner. Replace them with demand-siders.

[Yes sir! Your demand is my command!]

3. Have a series of TV and radio heart-to-heart talks with the American people.

[Get a real evocative, tear-jerky soundtrack to go with it.]

Use that old Barack charisma. . . .

explain how the end of the republican tax cuts for the wealthy is a good thing. . . .

[PUNISH those achievers, those lousy job-creators! Make them ship their stinkin' jobs out to New Dealy, India!]

If I had a #4, it would be to end DADT.

[If *I* had a #4, it would be to end DADT, Dumb-A$$ DUmmie Threads. . . . No wait, then we wouldn't have anything to laff at! So scratch that, and let's move on to the other Dumb-A$$ DUmmies. . . .]

Mine . . . Close Gitmo. . . .

[Mine . . . Clone Satchmo.]

be the fierce advocate for lgbtiq people. . . .

[3. Then, when we Democrats lose and get our clocks cleaned, eliminate paper voting and go to electronic.]

Right now, tonight? I can only think of one. Just go away. Get your rightwing asskissing self and your neolib cronies the hell out of the White House and just go away. Give it to Biden, give it to Pelosi - I don't care. I'm just totally fed up with YOU.
