Obama’s Fawn: Roger Cohen Is Inside Barack
THE NEW York Times’ Roger Cohen is not so much in the media tank for Obama as is he trying to get inside Obama proper. The fawn:
“This 47-year-old man of mixed race, whose very name–O-Ba-Ma–has the three-syllable universality of a child’s lullaby, has always had something of the providential about him, a global figure who looks more like the guy at the local bodega than the guys on dollar bills. That’s the magic.” -Roger Cohen, New York Times, Jan. 14

Hell Can Wait: Barack Obama Won’t Follow Bin Laden
BARACK Obama and how change is not all it’s cracked up to be. Here’s Barack talking about Osama bin Laden:
“When John McCain said we could just ‘muddle through’ in Afghanistan, I argued for more resources and more troops to finish the fight against the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11, and made clear that we must take out Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants if we have them in our sights. John McCain likes to say that he’ll follow bin Laden to the gates of hell – but he won’t even go to the cave where he lives” Sen. Barack Obama, Democratic National Convention speech, Aug. 28, 2008
Obama knows and he will do better and go and get him. Maybe. He hopes. But, you know:

Heads And Tales: Obama’s Closes Gitmo In His Head
HEADS & Tales: When the headline doesn’t match the story: “Obama Preparing Order to Close Guantanamo in First Week.”
So says The Huffington Post.
It’s unlikely the detention facility at the Navy base in Cuba will be closed anytime soon. In an interview last weekend, Obama said it would be “a challenge” to close it even within the first 100 days of his administration. But the order, which one adviser said could be issued as early as Jan. 20, would start the process of deciding what to do with the estimated 250 al-Qaida and Taliban suspects and potential witnesses who are being held there.
So Obama will prepare to close Gitmo in his head, maybe.

Vote Gordon Brown To Cure Cancer
IN his now weekly address to Sun readers, Gordon Brown pulls on his briefs and “said yesterday that he and Barack Obama shared a dream of tackling the world’s woes — and vowed to do so together.”
Brown is the new black, say his supporters.
The Prime Minister declared they would form a bond so strong that Britain’s special relationship with the US would become unbreakable.
So tight will this bond become that should, say, the US economy tumble, then we too will tumble.
Should the US go to war, we too will go to war.

FARTING is sure to catch on. And to be prepared, here are Anorak’s Top Facts About Farting:

Let’s Hear It For Obama The Magic Negro In 2009
LIVE from New York, Fox News broadcasts the countdown to 2009, and a cheery message for Barack Obama:
“Let’s hope the Magic Negro does a good job – Jen and John C”
Fox bashers will jump on this and see it as sign of racism but the phrase was first used in connection with Obama by Hollywood writer David Ehrenstein in a March 2007 op-ed in the Los Angeles Times that concluded:
“Like a comic-book superhero, Obama is there to help, out of the sheer goodness of a heart we need not know or understand. For as with all Magic Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes.”

How Barack Obama Will Save Bridgend, End Knife Crime And Sadness
IN it’s news review of the year, the Guardian’s Decca Aitkenhead takes readers “from the election of Barack Obama to economic meltdown, from the Beijing Olympics to the Baby P trial”. She “recalls the year’s best and worst times”.
But rather than being a time to reflect and make sense of things, Aitkenhead ends with a spot of mawkish media sensation, a spot of Mourn Porn:
Perhaps the saddest place of all in Britain was Bridgend, where another young suicide in August brought the total to 23 since 2007. The mystery of why so many youngsters did want to die was one no one could answer.

Obama Says He’d Bomb Hamas, Do Whatever It Takes
HAMAS asks for a damn good thrashing. Israel obliges. And Barack Obama..? Well, he’d do more, Remember this?
President-elect Barack Obama has voiced sympathy for Israel’s predicament. During his visit to Israel last summer, he held a news conference in Sderot, the southern town that has borne the brunt of the Gaza rocket attacks, saying he does not “think any country would find it acceptable to have missiles raining down on the heads of their citizens.”
“If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I’m going to do everything in my power to stop that,” Obama said at the time. “And I would expect Israelis to do the same thing.”

Just as his alter ego believes the world to smell of wet paint, Queen Ahmadinejad of Iranshire hears only words of congratulation and good cheer.
