Boss Obama?

A lot has been said about Obama’s “star like aura” and the like. Those on the radio even jokingly call him the messiah due to his hold on those who really do not pay attention. I on the other hand, having been a child in the early 1980’s, have a slightly different perspective.
Obama and his whole crew remind me of the first television series I can remember watching (and still do on occasion these days). The Obama administration, with their aversion to so called “clunker cars” and rugged individualism; ownership of everything that isn’t nailed down and his pesky schemes; Obama reminds me of the TV show Dukes of Hazard or more specifically the main foil of the show Jefferson Davis Hogg aka Boss Hogg.
Snicker if you will but the coincidences are there if you expand them from a county commissioner’s relative power to that of the President of the United States. In one of his first acts as President, Obama took over the banks. Boss Hogg owned the only bank in Hazard County. Boss Hogg in fact owned just about everything in Hazard County from the aforementioned bank to the car dealership (GM and Chrysler) to the local watering hole and even the local radio station (fairness doctrine anyone).
Hogg has his bumbling right hand man, Roscoe P. Coltrane which has definitely be Joe Biden, down to the nonsensical ramblings they use when they forget the line they were supposed to tow. Hogg also had a never ending supply of generic henchman eager to help him in his nefarious ways and who on occasion were even too extreme for the boss; much like Obama’s never ending supply of czars, some of whom would make Marx wrench his left shoulder in order to pat them on the back.
Of course, Hogg always blamed his failures on the title family, the “Dukes” who somehow managed to foil his every scheme despite overwhelming odds through family, hard work and ingenuity much like Obama blames the Tea Party; 9/12 and related movements coupled with talk radio and Fox News for uncovering and spoiling his plots. In both cases those who believe the American axiom of truth, justice, fair play, rugged individualism and hard work are the enemy of the big government all controlling leader be it County Commissioner Hogg or President Obama. The only question is, will we see the equivalent to an orange ’69 Charger breaking up an Obama speech by blaring Dixie on its horn and who will be driving it? I am thinking of a caravan of SUV’s playing the Star Spangled Banner; the Battle Hymn of the Republic or another patriotic tunes. Driving it of course will be the patriots of this country; every one of us. Perhaps a better idea would for us to download the Battle Hymn of the Republic (Lee Greenwood does a great version) and play it loud at the same time the next time Obama speaks.
