The "Thanks a lot, Obama" Meme

In LA this weekend it was brought to my attention that all important 18-45 demographic has taken on the habit of saying in mock-disdain "thanks a lot Obama!" for everything in their lives that might be unpleasant.  For example, you trip on a shoestring "Thanks alot, Obama!"  You don't get through the the intersection while the light is green.  "thanks a lot Obama!"  Whatever.  Here is a website devoted to the meme.

To be funny there must be some truth, and the truth is "blame Obama" whose policies are simply Geo Bush's 3rd and 4th term, is designed to set the electorate for the next president, Hillary Clinton.

Now I am consistently wrong on this, but the republicans are taking another pass, through divide and conquer.  A strong tea party will make for a weak presidential candidate, but this can be very good.  Bill Clinton needed the Ross Perot faithful to win re-election, so Clinton worked for a very good economy and fairly peaceful eight years.  We should be so lucky.  Let's hope Hillary is half as smart as Bill.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

Unfortunately I think that Hillary is twice as smart and an order of magnitude more liberal/progressive than Bill.

I'm convinced that if Hillary runs for President, she will win no matter who the Republican nominee is (unfortunately).
