Hitler Dissimilar to Obama - An Editorial
We at Contra Obama delight in taking friendly, respectful swipes at our President. After all, what could be more American than poking fun at our elected leaders after the manner of beloved funnymen like Will Rogers, Jay Leno or Lyndon LaRouche? But, my friends, there is a line. And that line has a name: Adolph Schicklgruber. The comparisons being made, whether in jest or in vague confusion, between President Barack Obama and Mr. Hitler must cease. There is certainly a place for rough and tumble humor in the discussion of so volatile as subject as politics, but references to the abominable Third Reich of Adolph Hitler are uncalled-for and from now on: strictly verböten! :)
For another thing, the comparison is counterfactual. Obama and Hitler are dissimilar in many key areas. Hitler, for instance, was born in Vienna, while Obama was born... elsewhere. Hitler wore a funny little mustache. Obama's funny little mustache disappeared almost as fast as it appeared. Hitler thought other races than his own were crumby. Obama thinks other races than his own are terrific! We could on, but you get the picture.
For these reasons and another one we're saving for later, Contra Obama condemns the signs, t-shirts, freezable beer mugs, water bottles, key chains, frisbees, gimme caps, mylar balloons, playing cards, giant foam fingers and sandwich board sign wearers conflating President Obama with "Der Fürher" and calls for a return to the civility that has characterized the Democrat Party from their support of the Jim Crow laws right up until the present time. --The Editors

What? Only 95 theses?
(The original painting, I know not by whom, of Martin Luther nailing his "95 Theses" to the Wittenberg door can be viewed by clicking on the memorable words HA HA! HERE I STAND! It opens in a new window so you can compare and contrast to your heart's content.)
Oh, Lighten Up!
A bright idea from Obamaland. Evidently Sherwin Williams was a major campaign contributor.
Steven Chu is Obama's Energy Secretary. You can read what Mr. Shu says about cooling the planet by changing its albedo HERE.

Or will he signal Roughing the Kicker?
