Funk

An Associated Press poll finds that the country is in a funk.

The nation's Capital is now Funky Town..

OK, not that kind of funk.

Funk you can believe in.

Mr. Obama is finding out fast what JFK discovered once he was settled in as president ---- that the campaign was a lot more fun.

Change and hope will get you elected. Unemployment at 10.2 percent will get you booted out of office.

Jabba the Butt will salivate over this poll (try to get that image out of your mind, Rush Limbaugh salivating.)

He wants this president to fail ---- and he's getting his wish.

Unfortunately, the country is also failing. The Butt doesn't care about the country failing as long as a liberal minority is going to get blamed.

You can hear him chortle right now, "I told you this man was going to ruin the country. Run it into the ground. Friends, this man is dangerous."

Yada, yada, yada. Un-American blowhard. Like Dick Cheney, Jabba would rather he think he's proven right, than to find that the country is prosperous and secure.

Fox Noose will revel in the poll's facts ---- giving credence to the "Saturday Night Live" sketch over the weekend satirizing Murdoch's Minions reporting on the Obama administration's "End of an Era" after only one year.

News like this will only make watching the bullcrap Fox shovels more appetizing for Americans who are already angry at everything.

Bon appetite, fine young cannibals.

Obama is becoming a victim of the meteoric rise that wisked him into the White House so quickly. Rapid acension. As fast as technology moved, so did Obama.

Now it's moving faster in an unfavorable direction than even someone adept with the new technology like Obama can keep up with it.

Americans are an impatient bunch ---- though we like to think of ourselves as virtuous.

It's difficult to be patient and optimistic when you're out of work.

When no revenue is coming in, there's no way you want to hear any politician say bull like they're not going to rest until "every American who wants to work will have a job."

If it's true that the people vote their pocketbooks, then Obama is going to be a one-termer and voters will tell him they can't spare the change.

But that's still three years off. The guy's only been in office for a year. Imagine what's in store.

Obama has been the beneficiary of leading a charmed life, and some of that rubbed off on the nation.

But that was during the campaign ----- when everyone was full of hope and change. We were so young and foolish back then, weren't we?

Obama needs to show more of that audacity he once wrote about. It's not that he's not trying --- it's that even politicians in his own party are too scared to try for fear of failure.

Obama needs to get all Gene Krantz of "Apollo 13" on people and announce "failure is not an option."

Forget about the revival of Camelot in the White House. We get all that. Good looking family and all. Ya, that's nice.

Get the other House in order. You know, the one where Joe Lieberman is running roughshod.

Obama could introduce Joe to that down and dirty female soccer player who yanks opponents' pony tails and wrestles them to the turf.

The prez could get all evangelical on them and say passing health care, immigration reform, and the climate change bill is doing God's work.

Hey, if that bozo CEO of Goldman-Sachs, trying to justify the $22 billion bonuses for his slimeballs, can matter-of-factly suggest that he was acting like God would, why not?

Getting bigger names to help the cold feet Democrats get on board to support your health care bill isn't a bad idea.

Enter Bubba. Bill Clinton to the rescue. Bubba talked to the good ole Blue Dog Boys in the Senate about getting this health care thing passed in their lifetimes.

Bubba's the man who rescued those hot Asian babes from that perv Kim Jong Il in North Korea.

So retrieving health care from the jaws of defeat should be a walk in the park for Slick Willie.

He did so well back during his first term. If he wants the Dems to learn from his mistakes, chubby interns are going to spend a lot of Saturday nights alone.

The Democrats are the party of Pogo --- We have met the enemy and they is us.

Obama tries to multi-task and his critics (even in his own party) say he's trying to do too much.

Then the poor guy is criticized for not getting anything done that he promised.

There you go again. Trying to do too much too soon. Rapid acension. No time to stand still. Gotta keep movin.'

People elected you to get things done. Now they're losing faith and they think the country's moving in the wrong direction.

Snap out of it. Stop listening to the negative news media with their gloomy predictions.

Hell, people are going to start believing the movie "2012" is a documentary.

This is America. It's too big to fail.

Unless it's the work God has in mind......
