Obama Goes To Hell On Fat Tuesday

Gateway Pundit:

Mary Rose Rybak at First Thoughts reported on the floats in this year’s New Orleans Mardi Gras parade. One float “Experiment of His Own Power” mocked America’s arrogant president.

Mardi Gras has become a celebration of vice before forty days of, well, supposed virtue. It’s one of those fun curiosities about the culturally Christian world: People eat and drink gluttonously as a sort of religious observance.

One of the ways vice is simultaneously vilified and celebrated is on the floats that parade through New Orleans, filled with masked people who throw beads and toys to the passersby. In one parade this year, spectators enjoy a hilarious twenty-float lineup of what one might call winners of the Greatest Vices of the Year: Senator Edwards, Senator Vitter, and Governor Sanford are spotlighted on a lust-themed float as “Politicians Gone Wild!”; New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nabin is painted “asleep at the wheel,” accused of negligence and bad time management on a sloth-themed float; and Bernard Madoff appears on a pyramid as “Pharaoh Made-off” on a greed-themed float that describes him as “the modern-day Judas who was traitor to his own tribe for only 20 million pieces of silver.”

Among these scandalous float figures is President Barack Obama.

On a pride-themed float called “Experiment of His Own Power,” Obama is compared to “The Proud One” of Dante’s Inferno, posing with his Nobel Peace Prize medal, next to several other representations of him—along with Oscar and Heisman Trophy awards, he appears as a five-star general, president of General Motors, and as the “healthcare-expert” Surgeon General—all engulfed by the flames of hell.

Is this the rant of a few comic float-makers, or is it a sign of a graver discontent Obama faces from the American people? For many, it’s looking grim: The effect his leadership has had on Katrina recovery-efforts, for instance, is at least as questionable as the promised improvements in foreign policy and economic stimulus.

In related news… After destroying the economy and tripling the national debt his first year in office, a majority of Americans believe that Barack Obama does not deserve a second term.

    I would like to have seen the reaction of the black masses lining the streets when they saw the Obama float. Then again, I’m sure it went way over their heads and was viewed as a testamonial to him and they cheered.

    I’d like to think Zero and his politburo will be experiencing a living hell right here when the retaliation comes.

      Bobby E. – I do believe you’ve hit the nail on the head, otherwise the hue and cry of the Demonrats regarding the mockery of their Exalted Zero would be similar to that of the force of Katrina that ripped through Nawleans. Now we wait until the stunned hue and cry commences from these idiots when they find out that Zero did not win an Oscar ………………..

    My one and only Mardi Gras moment.
    1993 I am standing on the curb marveling at the idiots fighting for worthless plastic beads,moon pies,and candy thrown from the peeps on the floats.
    But me and Jack Daniels are feeling pretty good.
    Then,out of the corner of my eye,I see what appears to be a large rock coming straight for my head.
    Jack ducks and CRACK.
    GRIZZ GOES DOWN.
    I had been hit with a petrified moon pie from 1950.
    Fucking thing hit me so hard ,it ricocheted off my forehead without losing any chocolate.
    Then the party started.

    All this adulation reminds me of another famous (or infamous) ruler – Idi Amin Dada! He was President, Doctor of Letters and Field Marshall for Life in Uganda. And now, Obongo is everything Idi was and even more – he’s got a Nobel Prize for the imaginary work he’s going to do. Obongo’s fall from grace is going to be much greater than his brother Idi. Can’t wait to see the splat!

      The chilling thought, though, is that Idi Amin practiced genocide. More discrimination of white males (unless you are an avowed Marxist or Zero supporter), anyone?
