“He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”
-Obama Deceiver-in-Chief David Axelrod
In this new Era of Responsibility, President B. Hussein Obama wants you to make due with less, give more of your money to the Government, take fewer vacations, stop dropping coin at Starbucks, and suspend your baseless fear of Islamic jihadists. Meanwhile, the Blessed Leader Obama:
… Cranks up the heat in the Orchid Office lest he be chilly while warming up to supporters of terrorism.
… Sheds his suit jacket inside the Orchid Office in a clear snubbing of President Bush and Bush’s deep respect for the Presidency.
… Arrives for work around 9 a.m. because in the face of a crippled economy his cardio numbers are still more important than any numbers from Wall Street or the Federal Reserve. BHO starts his day in the new Bally’s wing of the White House. Since when did 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue become Club Med?
… Takes time before facing those pesky intelligence and economic reports to “see the children off to school”. And to think the left wing media howled in dismay because President Bush was visiting with Florida school children on the morning of 9/11. He should have been protecting us, they despaired, rather than reading aloud from a book so ironically titled, Met Pet Goat.
… Shamefully stands by while the liberal dominated House and Senate votes a transfer of wealth — from us to them — never before seen in human history, then signs the Gender Equal Pay Act to further ensure that women who have never thought of themselves as victims can join the pity party.
I suspect Axelrod some day will regret his off-the-cuff orchid comment. An orchid is fragile, difficult to nurture. It requires just the right amount of light. Many orchids are ridiculously expensive. The Oval Office as some kind of light and temperature sensitive sanctuary does not align with Obama’s pledge as recently as December that the White House should revert to being “the people’s house”.
The orchid is defined by Webster as a plant having flowers with three petals, one of which is enlarged. I fear we soon will be applying this same definition to Washington. We’ll have the Judicial petal, the Legislative petal and the enormous, grotesquely enlarged Executive petal.
Why, suddenly, am I recalling the rock musical, Little Shop of Horrors? According to Wikipedia, Act II plays out thusly: “(The man eating plant) Audrey II, bigger than ever, appears with opened red and green flowers revealing the faces of (its victims), who warn that no matter how persuasive the plants may be, for the sake of the whole world, one must never do what the plants ask. Audrey II then crawls out using his roots towards the audience and threatens them.”
Beware the orchids.
