Obama’s Hometown, Asian Mexico, Reveals Statue Of Boy-King

by Jim Newell  11:37 am December 11, 2009

The nice little muslins in Jakarta have built their native son, Barack Obama, a statue made of the finest golds and bronzes to be stolen from East Timor! It is called “Barry Dreams Come True,” and all of the schoolchildren want to grow up to be like Barack Obama — except the one kid who wants to be a general. He will be the next Hitler. Hooray!

Or Suharto, perhaps? Topical!

The Obama Dildo is actually bigger than the statue, whaaaa?

Oh! You pretty things.
Don’t you know you’re driving your mamas and papas insane?

Sarah and Todd are having their breakfast chili and beer and Sarah is casually saying, “I, uh, wonder if the Wasilla budget would cover a statue of me?”

Statue needs some teeth missing to look more like the photo. Monumental art, bah.

“The statue is being erected to inspire Indonesian children and help them remember that they can be whatever they set their hearts on,” Ron Mullers, chairman of the Indonesia-based Friends of Obama Foundation, explained to the Globe.

“Whatever they set their hearts on” = American.

This fulfills another Mayan prophecy — the erecting of idols to false gods — the world is ending and it is all because of Mexicans.

Jesusfuck, don’t read the comments on Politico. I love the way the really vicious, wacky ones list themselves as “Independent”

Okay, what’s with the necklace the size of a dinner plate that little Barry is wearing?

Over there in Barrytown they do things very strange

I liked the little boy who doesn’t want to be a president, but wants to be a general.

Kids are so honest.

[re=476400]freakishlystrong[/re]: C’mon. “Independent” now means teabagger. My boss fancies himself an “independent” and went through great pains to explain how he was “torn” between Kerry and Bush in the 2004 election. Now he just spouts off weird CNBC and Fox News talking points and prints out chain emails for me which he gets from friends and family bitching that Barry is a Seekrit Marxist Muslin Terr’ist.

The funny thing is, I have learned how to use Snopes quite effectively on him, so when he sends me an email with the latest photoshopped Barry image = most recent one had Barry and Michelle supposedly holding their left hands over their hearts while saluting the flag, BECAUSE THEY’RE LEFTISTS, GET IT, HENNNGH? – I can reply with a Snopes link which bursts the teabag which appears to have replaced his heart.

How many pounds of cremains will it hold? My head’s almost full.

“I want to be a general” .. said the kid in a melodica/glockenspiel marching band, wearing a day-glo pink, orange and gold fairy costume.

The inmates at Gitmo are building a statue out of soap for Cheney.

“a statue made of the finest golds and bronzes to be stolen from East Timor!

Well played, Jim; well played.

Suharto. Also.
