It seems Sen. Joe Lieberman (Independent-Connecticut) is firing up President George W. Bush’s dusty old propaganda machine used to make Americans worry more than necessary about a potential terror attack.

In the case of Lieberman, a guy who’s unsuccessfully sought a seat in the White House in the last two presidential elections (2000 and 2004), using fear tactics in hopes of boosting support for the candidate he is supporting on the November Presidential ballot: Sen. John McCain (Republican-Arizona).

Here’s a hat tip to my good friend, DA66, who sends me a lot of humorous stuff, but also some stuff that cracks me up to no end.

In thinking back over the past few days of “presidential campaigning,” I recall Barack Obama saying it’s time for him to turn up the heat and really dish out the nasties on his opponent, Hillary Clinton. I wonder if Barack’s people are behind this ditty sent to me by DA66, who could be one of my people, but I just can’t afford to hire him.

Barack Obama has one of those names that just doesn’t roll off my tongue. No amount of practice will make that happen, it seems. In an effort to try to make his name one of those one the tip of my tongue names, I even tried using the tune from Louie Louie, a classic rock and roll song, written in 1955 by Chuck Berry, singing, Obama, Obama, but what happened next, most likely predictable, especially in this day and age, things changed.

As I sang the self-created lyrics in an effort to get Obama’s name a familiar roll on my tongue, the words, Obama, Obama … yeah, Obama, Obama became, eerily enough, Obama, Obama … Osama, Obama.
