O-Kayyyy . . . Thousands Of Apparently Unemployed People Will Gather To Literally Clap For Obama
I have never appreciated the 22nd Amendment as much as I do today.
To say a final ‘Thanks Obama,’ thousands of Americans to applaud together on his last day
. . . .
Davis, a 29-year-old attorney in New York City, would mention her plans casually to friends. She persuaded a few to join her in Washington on Jan. 19, the day before the inauguration, to stand outside the president’s home and clap. After Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in July, Davis decided to make a formal event page on Facebook. She figured a dozen or so like-minded friends might sign up.
She went to bed that night and when she woke up less than eight hours later, 500 people had clicked that they planned to attend and another 700 marked that they were interested. In the coming days and weeks, the number grew incrementally, easily getting into the thousands. Then, when Trump won, interest spiked. By the Friday after Election Day, another 60,000 people said they were either going or wanted to.
What will they be applauding, I wonder? The doubling of the national debt, perhaps? The anemic recovery and the collapse of the labor force participation rate? Skyrocketing health insurance premiums? The explosion of entitlements such as SSI and food stamps?
Actually, that last one could be it . . .
Here’s an idea. If you didn’t like Obama, gather together a force of people to boo him. Spread the word on Facebook. Plan to gather outside the White House on January 19th and boo. BOOOOOO!!!
And if you don’t do that? If you let this group applaud without response? Well, then, you know what that will mean. It will prove that people actually loved Obama!!!
Or . . . maybe it will prove that you have a job and don’t have time for nonsense like that.

This is only one of the creepy, fascist, personality-cult things Obama’s followers have put together; and at the same time they compare Trump rallies to Nuremberg.
There are a lot of power-worshipers and state-worshipers in this country. Trump has his share, but at least the media doesn’t report favorably on them.
Gabriel Hanna (64d4e1) — 1/13/2017 @ 9:25 amGiving Obama the clap, eh? There won’t be all that many. They always overestimate how many loonies turn out for these kind of things by a factor 100 or more. In a population of over 330 million, they won’t even be noticeable statistical error.
nk (dbc370) — 1/13/2017 @ 9:50 amI will clap when I see their furniture being moved out, and the moving vans pulling out of the driveway.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 1/13/2017 @ 9:51 amI imagine a lot of Barack’s supporters have The Clap — I mean, have you seen some of those skanks? (LOL)
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 1/13/2017 @ 9:52 amMeh. It’s not like they’re the first black family Trump has thrown out of their home.
nk (dbc370) — 1/13/2017 @ 9:53 amI would venture that at least 100 times more Obama supporters have the clap than will turn out to clap for him.
nk (dbc370) — 1/13/2017 @ 9:56 am@nk: It’s not like they’re the first black family Trump has thrown out of their home.
That, sir, is Comedy Gold.
Gabriel Hanna (64d4e1) — 1/13/2017 @ 10:11 amMy hope for the 19th of January 2017 is that Congress halts all spending for that day…so that Obama will forced to close down public spaces and hire security guards to evict people from breathing the government’s air…like how he had to do during the government spending freeze a couple years ago.
It would be poetic to see barriers erected because there was no more money for Obama to spend.

Rev. Hoagie® (785e38) — 1/13/2017 @ 10:21 amthey should hold the applause til *after* he finishes doing genocide on the jews i think for so CNN can have inspirational footage for the news report
happyfeet (28a91b) — 1/13/2017 @ 10:45 amI’ll celebrate the fact that he didn’t start any phony wars, killing upwards of 100,000 or more innocent people and he didn’t leave our economy in shambles, like the last Republican did. Let’s hope Mr. Truthiness can do at least one of those.

Being a useful idiot can be a paying position. The SEIU and other unions, various Soros NGOs and a variety of other liberal pressure groups often transport and pay hourly wages to individuals and groups to shill at such events.
Back when I was on the other side, we called it “theater.” The saps in the media ate it up.

I like that. It has a ring to it.

This seems to require a rehash of my father’s dictum, “Next time you see your parents, tell them they still have some work to do.
11B40 (6abb5c) — 1/13/2017 @ 1:27 pmSay goodbye to the obnoxious cult of personality President.
Say hello to — uh, um — well?
JVW (6e49ce) — 1/13/2017 @ 1:44 pmBut that’s SOP.
FDR cult? Yes;
Kennedy cult? Yes;
Bill Clinton cult? Yes;
Ronald Reagan cult? Yes, though I’d prefer not to admit it.
ThOR (c9324e) — 1/13/2017 @ 1:50 pmSeems like a golf clap might be appropriate for this president.

re starting wars
Whatever happened to Obama’s civilian organization that was just as strong and just as well funded as the military? Is is the Foodstamp Militia?
Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 1/13/2017 @ 2:01 pmIf Obama’s Clap and Fondle Corp gathering ends up like the Bonus Marcher I hope they are prepared to run a 10k under direct fire.

OK, now that made me laugh out loud. Thanks Colonel. Good stuff as always.

According to Roger Clinton, he’s also got a nose like a vacuum cleaner.
Pinandpuller (70a330) — 1/13/2017 @ 2:29 pm@22. Looks like just the right amount, Rev. H
crazy (d3b449) — 1/13/2017 @ 2:48 pmI realize you’re being sarcastic, but I wouldn’t be quick to make any bets on how many of those people showing up to clap for Obama don’t have jobs. How many don’t have jobs in the non-union private sector? That’s a different bet. Funny how many of those “low-paid humble public servants” can show up at rallies and marches and protests in the middle of a workday.

======================================
Word is that the Clinton’s Secret Service coded moniker was “Dyson1”. Clinton reportedly chafed at “Hoover1”, as he did not care for J. Edgar.
Colonel Haiku (6c3d91) — 1/13/2017 @ 3:50 pm@Col:Word is that the Clinton’s Secret Service coded moniker was “Dyson1″
Chronology does not work. Dyson vacuuum cleaners didn’t hit the US market until after his presidency.

Sammy Finkelman (8a20da) — 1/14/2017 @ 6:13 pmSomebody remind Marco Rubio that the head of the government of Sudan is a war criminal. And, unlike Putin, he even has an arrest warrant out against him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_al-Bashir
But Obama can only pressure a government about one thing at a time, and they decided that the war in South Sudan is more important.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/13/world/africa/sudan-sanctions.html
Obama is doing a lot of things now, that, he might, if he had more time, do later.
One thing he’s NOT doing is completing the investigation of the Eric Garner case. If that were done, the Attorney General would have to clear the policeman like was done in the Michael Brown case – they broke the news gently. First they found other things wrong in Ferguson, Missouri.
Sammy Finkelman (8a20da) — 1/14/2017 @ 6:23 pmJVW – the Browns did. They just built it while they were on the other side of it.
NickM (d6362a) — 1/14/2017 @ 9:37 pmOh, I am applauding President Obama’s last day as well, and no one has to pay me to do it.
