OBAMANATION AND THE YOGURT CULTURE

"RENEW AMERICA TOGETHER"
He called it a "national call to service". Go on line, find a local meeting!
So I thought, okay I'll bite; what is this all about?

I found out some of Barrack Obama's sidekicks are sending out online invitations to create and attend neighborhood meetings to help operate the tugs of government democratically from the comfort of our own living rooms! WOW WHAT A CONCEPT!

The first meeting I went to was sort of a warm up to your neighbors event. You know; everyone making sure no one was a KKK John Birch Society Reptilian Alien, rabid George Bush supporter. Only about 10 people showed up even though there were more than 22 RSVP's on the sign up sheet.

Of those attending two people had worked in government campaigns prior to the Obama phenomenon.
They both admitted to being originally members of the Democratic Party. One had subsequently drifted to a more conservative position, and the other had moved far further to the left. He was involved with Moveon.org had been a life long government worker, double dipper with a PERSE pension and god only knows what else.
Another guy was a Navy Captain.
The rest that had some experience about government mostly were associated with the Republican Party .
There were others that were registered Democrats since they turned 21 or so and most had been oblivious apathetics.

Most people at the meeting claimed they had lost, or never had, faith that one vote, or one politician could count for anything, but had been greatly inspired by Barrack Obama and were in attendance to remain engaged.
As we went around the room introducing ourselves to each other I announced that I had come to believe over the years that citizens of any government especially ones with relatively free elections "got the government they deserved". More about that later!

We elected an emissary to research a charitable organization called Neighborhood House to see if that would be a suitable vehicle to do some good outside of the efforts of the Federal Government. This seemed to be the message we gathered on line that "Government can only do so much" so a call to National Service through volunteerism would vitalize our citizenry and recreate the lost American dream.

Meeting number two was arranged in the morning following a horrific snow storm that had trapped many people in their homes for several days due to high drifting and black ice. Attendance was poor, as the invitation was issued for that very same night!

The topic to be discussed was the national health care crisis. The move.on.gov guy prepared a very good three part agenda; discussing some possibilities and successful types of systems in other countries, contrasting the cobbled system we endure here in America.
The host of the meeting announced that she thought the Health care industry was so big and corrupt nothing could be done to fix it "so lets talk about what we can do" amid strenuous objections from myself and the move.on guy for a more considered discussion.
We wanted to discover some common ground and agreement so we could define our coalition opinion and send it along to the Obama people. We were gaveled down despite numerous protestations and the yogurt culture of blandness and lack luster of the oblivious apathetics prevailed.
Next, we all got to listen to why we should march in the Martin Luther King Day parade on the coming holiday "because Barrack wants us to".

The last thing on the agenda was to name our little group so we could have an official communication e-mail conduit to "Central Planning"

The name selected was OBAMANATION!!!!
Yep "to loathe intensely" "to dislike strongly" "repugnant and hateful" "very bad or unpleasant" (Webster definitions of abomination)

I laughed out loud and agreed the name characterized what this group might be all about not specifically defining or revealing my thoughts. I expressed my approval of the name, got my coat, said my goodbyes and walked out into the snowy night.

Goodbye to the abominable yogurt culture.

Third attempt at a meeting ----------------went like this.

I sent an invitation from the Obama "RENEW AMERICA" website to about 100 people in my e-mail address book. I thought with some encoragement from listed invitee's I might start my own Obama neighborhood "sunday go to meeting" thing.
The invitation, as we had learned earlier, was to stimulate volunteerism through the neighborhood meetings and more timely to get prepared to take a walk down the road to the tune of Martin Luther Kings Day celebration march. Actually, that seems kind of fitting given Obama is counted as the first black president. I would certainly walk in it if I was a black guy and be damned proud too.

I wanted to establish 100,000 signatures to the affirm that self reliant government was on the mend and that Obama would pledge to be vigilant to that end.
Here is exactly (cut and pasted) what it said, tagged to
"RENEW AMERICA"invitation.

Free at Last Free at Last Thank God Almighty I am fee at last. I would like a large group to send back a joint statement which I will deliver to our elected local congressman that we want a return to the principles of freedom and liberty that our country was founded on.

We do NOT want to be plunged deeper into debt or Socialist agenda.

We simply must insist our new President take an active role in leading us back to self reliance and self government through market driven forces and free small private enterprise.

We are “mad as hell” and we are ‘NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE”.
Help me send these encouraging words to Obama this next Great Holiday.

I will tabulate the count hopefully at least 100,000 names and will personally deliver it to the news studios and the offices of our congress and representatives.

Go ahead step forward NOW send me your interest in freedom.



Results of the invitation to send a message of encouragement for self reliant government were as follows:

TWENTY THREE people wrote and asked to not be included in any more invitations.
ONE PERSON wrote "If you want to effectively influence government you should consider offering solutions rather than just discontent.
ONE PERSON wrote to defend my simple statement.
ONE PERSON wrote that he liked my writing and I should continue.
ONE PERSON wrote that I could include his name in the 100,000 names geometrically building on the Internet Ponzi system.

Conclusion : The people get the Government they deserve!
