Hat in hand, the Unity Government of Zimbabwe is flat busted, broke and is seeking a $2 billion bailout from anywhere. Their malevolent dictator Robert Mugabe has just celebrated his 85th birthday. Over 2,000 guests at his soiree were feted with champagne (Moët & Chandon and ’61
Bollinger ); lobsters; prawns;
caviar; Ferrero Rocher chocolates and weighing in at just under-200 pounds, a birthday cake. The price tag for the bash was said to be the modest sum of $350,000 US.
However, since last August, over 4,000 Zibabweans have died from an epidemic of cholera. Many of the children there do not live to see their fifth birthdays. The life expectancy for adults is under 50 years old. People are starving, subsisting on a ground corn substance called "mealy meal" and over 90 percent are out of work. Inflation is the highest in the world at over 231,000,000 percent annually! Land grabs from white farmers continue and even though the courts ruled against Mugabe in favor of the white farmers, he ignored the decision and stated that "whites have no place in Zimbabwe and must leave." Mugabe had parsed that the seizures of property would go to the poor, but instead they have been bestowed on his parasitic, sycophantic minions and cronies.
And in America, still known as the land of the free and home of the brave, an hysteric, new present-cy and too-clever-by-half, frenzied administration have been ensconced into the White House and have brought financial havoc and fear to the hallowed halls of power. The entire world is experiencing the greatest financial meltdown since the Great Depression. The market is now at record lows and the Dow has lost over 2,000 points since the coronation of Barack Hussein O to the office he
bought by raising close to One Billion Dollars, getting by with a little help from his friends and millions of anonymous internet donors.
pbho sure loves to spend money! The Community Organizer in Chief has been feverishy campaigning to wipe out any vestiges of Reagan, Bush 41, Billy Jeff and the most fervently vilified by those on the left, Bush 43. His mission is to install a Marxist/Socialist government much larger than the New Deal and the Great Society. He`ll show FDR and LBJ how to spread the wealth, redistribute income and bring on the reparations. After all, he won! He "inherited" this economic calamity from Bush 43 and the last eight years of tax breaks for the rich. His only recourse is to raise taxes and to spend Trillions of dollars that will mortgage the economic future of the United States into perpetuity before he even begins to start on the entitlements.
Because of the "inherited" recession and no extra money in the treasury until he gives the order (if he hasn`t already) to start printing Benjies at ramming speed, pbho sent Secretary of State Pantsuit off to China to supplicate, ingratiate, threaten, flatter and cajole the Chinese to buy even more US bonds. Of course, they will comply, won`t they? After all, we`re all in the same boat and rowing in the same direction! But pbho has no worries. He`s cool. He`s living large in the White House, with the heat on high, a resident chef on call, a limo, a helicopter, an airplane, the Secret Service and all the other perks that go along with being present. And he has developed a taste for that tender, succulent wagyu beef. Signed, sealed, delivered, he won!
Barack Hussein O is a Community Organizer who lies with ease to assure the masses of his forthcoming largesse. He also has extremely selfish motives and a jutting chin along with a prominent glass jaw that displays the unabashed arrogance of his being. Robert Mugabe is a vicious thug who is oblivious and uncaring of the
extreme hunger and strife of his own people. He is selfish and power
mad. Two different men of very different ages, but with one common similarity: Their tyranny!
Whee! Taking the country out for a spin after that hard left turn ....
