Reactions to a presidential schedule item
A compendium of reax to Obama’s scheduled signing of the Girl Scouts USA Commemorative Coin:
FOX NEWS HOST GLENN BECK AND GUEST PANELIST ORLY TAITZ DISCUSS NEW COIN
On the 10/29/09 edition of The Glenn Beck Show, Beck and his guest, Orly Taitz, DDS, Esq., delved into questions raised by Obama’s support of the new Girl Scouts USA Commemorative Coin.
“It is to be manufactured using silver mined in Kenya,” Taitz noted. “I have filed suit in federal court to compel the US Treasurer to investigate on behalf of the American people.”
“The Girl Scout logo is interesting,” Beck replied. “At first glance, it looks very much like the logo on the iconic cookies. What could be more innocent than apple-cheeked cherubs raising funds by delivering sugary treats to friendly neighbors? It’s as American as apple pie.
“But a reverse image of the coin reveals something more sinister,” Beck continued. “When you take a photo from an oblique angle and produce a negative, the Girl Scouts logo morphs into something frightening—some might even say it bears a striking resemblance to the Soviet hammer and sickle design.”
Beck paused for a moment, struggling to compose himself while applying Vicks Vap-O-Rub beneath his eyes. “I’m sorry,” he sobbed. “It’s just that I love my country so much. And I fear for it.”
CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS URGE OPPOSITION
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell joined House counterpart John Boehner to denounce President Obama’s support of the Girl Scouts USA Commemorative Coin Act. In a joint statement, the men said: “Manufacturing new currency to end the Obama Recession is straight out of the Marx-Lenin planned economy playbook. Ronald Reagan knew better. We call on fellow congressmen to oppose this drastic measure.”
RUSH LIMBAUGH DENOUNCES “MAN-CHILD” FOR COIN ACT
On his syndicated radio show, top talk show host Rush Limbaugh became agitated when a caller informed him of the president’s intention to sign the Girl Scouts USA Commemorative Coin Act.
“Folks, this Coin Act business is a threat to the free market system, and I hope it fails,” the host said, flailing violently in his swivel chair.
“Your fearless leader, El Rushbo, is announcing Operation Coin Dump right now. I want you to bend over and grab your ankles. Then I want you to insert these coins and let nature take its course. It’ll send a strong message to that little black man-child, Barack the Magic Negro.”
Limbaugh’s staff later noted that the talk show host himself would not directly participate in Operation Coin Dump due to a pilonidal cyst located near his rectum, the same infirmity that kept Limbaugh from serving in Vietnam. The staffer noted that Limbaugh supported the war 100%.
THE NEW AGENDA UNVEILS “DON’T SIGN THE GSUSA COMMEMORATIVE COIN ACT!” PETITION
In response to President Obama’s signing of the Girl Scouts USA Commemorative Coin Act this afternoon, women’s advocacy group The New Agenda called on members of the public to sign a petition urging Obama not to sign the Act, which officially became law at 3:27 PM EST.
“We feel this Act infantilizes future women by referring to them as “girls,” said TNA President Amy Siskind.
“It’s just the latest in a string of belittling references to pre-adult female potential-presidents and is just as unacceptable as calling adult male African Americans “boy,” Siskind continued. “What will I tell my daughter if this Act becomes law? It’s clearly an attempt to marginalize Sarah Palin.”
Siskind noted that when her organization collects 50 signatures, it will “commence press releases.”
LIBERAL BLOGGERS SLAM OBAMA’S PRIORITIES
Reacting to President Obama’s signing of the Girl Scouts USA Commemorative Coin Act, several anonymous liberal bloggers angrily denounced the timing of the legislation.
“We’re the ones who put Obama in the White House,” said an unnamed online activist. “We blogged about him daily during the campaign—sometimes more than once per day!—and he has betrayed us yet again by placing this silly legislation ahead of real priorities like health care, Gitmo and climate change.”
The bloggers promised to withhold their support during the 2012 campaign:
“See if we write one word about him when he needs us next time,” one blogger vowed. “The president can personally beg and plead with me to blog in his support, but it will be too late. I am removing the letters ‘o,’ ‘b,’ ‘a’ and ‘m’ from my keyboard today.”
Tune in tomorrow for reactions to the presidential recognition of National Garlic Week.
