How President Obama can save his Presidency

Mr. Obama has no military experience it is clear. He did not serve and there is no evidence that there has ever been a veteran visit the Obama household. This does not include the White House in that it is the people’s house, and has many honored military members and veterans as residents and guests.

To be successful the administration should utilize the strengths and talents that are currently present. It is clear that this administration does not understand how to communicate with the finest military organization that the world has ever seen. Given the proper civilian desired outcome the US military can certainly accomplish it given the resources. This administration has no one that has even fired a daisy bebe gun as Dr, Savage would put it. They just do not have the needed experience.

Now what the administration has in abundance is experience in community organizing. This will be useful in “nation building” or whatever it is called these days. They can round up a bunch of experienced organizers and operatives from ACORN and organize Afghanistan into a peaceful nation. Afghanistan has about the same Population as Illinois and New York combined so the scope of the job is well within their capacity.

ACORN has ample experience and skill to accomplish what the administration desires. They are particularly adept at solving problems with civil disobedience. They are particularly opposed to firearms. That should go over well in Afghanistan, disarming the population has never been tried. General Motors can refit one of its unused factories and produce high-tech green staplers to put up posters.

ACORN won’t have to be concerned with union issues; the Federal Government has forced them to refrain from punishing their employees who try to organize within. ACORN is an organized organizing organization.

Our military is seriously constrained by overbearing rules of engagement, their hands are tied in such a fashion that they cannot perform in a realistic military manner. This should be a matter of concern for ACORN. The administration should call upon one of their key experts, Bill Ayers, he is capable of defining the organizing strategy that will get the job done and not run afoul of the Geneva Convention. After all this will not be war but organizing.

Merlin's View

This is a different perspective for me. If you like it, good, if you don't, that is good also.

There will be more to follow, just how much we will see.

Just getting started.

A good place to begin. This is a little thing I wrote to lighten up the subject. Enjoy.
Bruce and Marvin
a dinosaurs tale

Bruce, a Brachiosaurus (A huge, long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur with a giraffe-like stance) and Marvin, a Mamenchisaurus (The dinosaur with the longest neck - a plant-eating giant from China) were discussing the cold weather they were experiencing lately. It seems that Bruce had heard about the new dinosaur religion, climate change. As they were learning, dinosaurs love to learn, weather is to climate change as one second is to one day.

Weather to dinosaurs is for casual conversation just to fill up their spare time as dinosaurs don’t have jobs. Climate change is something new and exciting to fret over, after all you can’t really do anything about it but it is so much fun because it is fashionable. Albert, an Apatosaurus (A huge, long-necked, whip-tailed plant-eating dinosaur; it used to be known as Brontosaurus) says it is our duty to do something. If all the other dinosaurs adore him and make him rich, that would be ok to.

Bruce was explaining to Marvin about their favorite food, glossopteris, an early ancestor of broccoli, causing dinosaur flatulence. Nobody much worried about dinosaur flatulence in those days as it was impolite to discuss and was no fun at all. If they all continued to consume ever increasing quantities of glossopteris the flatulence produced would cause dangerous climate change and they would all die or evolve into birds.
