Obama is freaking them out. The novelty of the first black President refuses to wear off. The legislators, politicians and bureaucrats were all waiting for election to be over and going back to business as usual. It is more than 100 days but Obama is still freaking them out. He refuses to relinquish the bully pulpit to anyone.
Rush Limbaugh has been doing clownish flips in order to seek attention and got so exasperated that he decided to court a forced sale of his condo in New York. McCain was so mesmerized that he could not bark a better question than about cancellation of presidential helicopter deal when we are embroiled in a life and death economic struggle. Republicans are still in a treacherous market shopping for someone to hang their coat on. Republican governors have been swallowing their own words while begging for federal aid to meet their deficits. Bobby Jindal tried and badly stumbled on national TV. Sarah Palin is reeling under the weight of her daughter’s indiscretions. Listening tours and teaching tours are touted for a Republican revival. No traction yet. Pelosi, Geithner, Gingrich, Romney, Steel and many more have been sidelined. No scandal, no war, no crisis, no tragedy or dog purchase has escaped Obama’s pulpit. Legislators from both parties and media and media hogs are at their wits end.
Obama has completely obliterated their faces and TV time.Obama has not only seized the bully pulpit with FDR type vengeance. He wrings somebody’s neck every time he is on it. He has choked all oxygen to his opponents.
Not a day passes when Obama is not pontificating to the country and world. He does what FDR used to do every day. Does something and goes whole hog. If it fails apologizes profusely for it and starts doing something else. Like FDR he is always doing something. Obama has surrounded himself with a lot of experts and is always showing them off. He is freaking out all his opponents by this daily parade.
Not content with occupying national stage, Obama in the midst of this plastered Europe with his press conferences and hobnobbing with Sarkozy. Brown in UK, Merkel of Germany and Medvedev are smiling widely because Bush had made them cry. Africans and Asians are more hopeful
Not content with shutting out his opponents from all kinds of broadcast time, Obama regularly sends Giethner to bore listeners with his plans. Hillary is on conquering new countries which were out of bounds for Bushies. Janet Napolitano is not afraid to talk border and immigration. Healthcare is on the agenda and everybody is talking about it. Economy is Summer’s hands and looking up.
In the mix is Michelle Obama’s kitchen garden, her biceps and dresses from J Crew, Jewish lunches, the buying a dog and concerts.
No wonder Glen Beck is crying, Haley Barbour is crying foul and complaining that Obama is on a constant election campaign. O’Reilly is panting with a lot of irrelevant cultural issues. His hackneyed themes of Socialism, Marxism, abortion, gay rights and national security are back and no one is paying any attention to it.
It is Obama all the way. And everyone is freaked out.

The Rule of Zombies
After the slaughter of more than 75000 human beings the Sri Lankan army had cornered their leader, Prabhakaran. They killed the mastermind of the bloody Tamil insurrection. They photographed his bloated corpse a thousand times and paraded it around the town. The world had just witnessed the birth of a zombie. His henchmen immediately claimed that Prabhakaran had planted a duplicate and he had flown away on a golden chariot to the land of zombies. This zombie will rule the world for a long time. The zombie terrorists kill more people than the living terrorists. Zombies do not need to hide.
Zombies are a very powerful clan and they rule the world thousands of years after they are dead. Many of them are miraculously credited with more powers than they ever had when living. Osama Bin Laden is another big zombie these days. No one knows where he is but his zombie is the front man for Al Qaida and many world governments who need him alive even when he is dead. A mere picture of him could launch a suicide bomber all over the world. Karl Marx is another very powerful zombie. People love him, people hate him and many do not what to do with him. They cannot get rid of him. The recent economic meltdown has added to his power.
Everyone wants their own zombie. There are big zombies and small zombies. The big zombie of Khomeini is still the de facto ruler of Iran. Churchill’s zombie walks very tall in Great Britain. This plump zombie is always drinking and not getting drunk. Charles de Gaulle is still a very potent zombie in France. Luckily a lot of people are no longer shooting at him. Gandhi is all over the place in India. They loved him so much that they assassinated him and made him a zombie. We have more zombies in United States than anywhere else. Washington, Jefferson and the two Roosevelt’s are the most popular ones. The latest is Ronald Reagan. In United States even murders like Charles Manson and Bonnie and Clyde have some times joined the elite zombie class. One American zombie is hiding all the time. Truman is still not sure about dropping atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Mongolia has recently launched a determined bid to resurrect the zombie of Genghis Khan. Everyone is trying to wake him up. And who can forget the dirtiest zombie of Hitler. This killer zombie just cannot help killing.
Our living leaders badly need zombies to clutch on to when they are clueless about things. They can blame things on them. A zombie is a leader who cannot be questioned and grilled by anyone. A zombie is always supreme and always wins when everyone loses.
Sometimes zombies capture living people and destroy things through them. Casanova’s zombie captured Bill Clinton and almost ruined him. Hillary rescued him. The zombies of the many bears which Sarah Palin killed had captured her and John McCain and sent them to a big defeat in 2009 elections. Kurt Cobain’s zombie has captured Rush Limbaugh and is making him act wacky.
The chief zombies in the world, Jesus and Mohammad have been ensconced comfortably in their cushy thrones for thousands of years. They have been wreaking havoc in the world for so long that the human beings take the huge destruction and cruelty as a part of God’s plan. To name a few big achievements wreaked on mankind recently, let us recall crusades, world wars, Hiroshima, Middle East conflict, Iraq, Vietnam, Rwanda, Serbia, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Somalia among many more. Let us not blame the rapes, plagues, aids, tsunamis, earthquakes and destruction of countless human beings on zombies. Zombies light the fireworks and watch this with glee.
