President Rodman

“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation,”  
– Barack Obama December 2007

I was a huge Bulls Fan back in the day, I will admit a bit of a fair weather fan since I don’t watch them often now.  I am a loyal Cubs and Bears fan since I love baseball and football.  The Jordan era Bulls gave me a Chris Matthews tingle up my leg.  I loved the years the Bulls won the championships; I also remember the years leading up to the championships and the losses to Detroit. 

Dennis Rodman!  I remember how much I hated him.  How could the league let a guy like that play?  He should be in a mental institution not an NBA court.  I know other Bulls fans felt the same and we cursed his name, but then the Bulls announced that he had signed with them.  Then our story changed he no longer belonged in a mental institution, he was just misunderstood.  Deep down he’s a great guy once you get pass the hair, tattoos and the piercings.

Barack Obama a Chicago guy himself is now the Dennis Rodman of the left.  Obama ran a campaign selling himself as the complete opposite of Bush and I think both Barack and the left believed it.  Obama was the Superman Bizarro of Bush.  Alas for our left minded Superman and Bulls fans it was not to be.

Soon after Rodman arrived in Chicago it became clear what had happened.  Rodman was still a nut job and a dirty player but we cheered for him because he was our nut job.  Now that Obama has bombed Libya, the left has seen that he is still just like other presidents and not the guy they thought he was.  I laughed when I read on Twitter that “Obama has now fired more cruise missiles than any other Nobel Peace Prize Winner”.  How were my leftist friends going to defend this?

They are defending it just like Bulls fans defended Rodman.  He may be wrong and a nut job but he’s our nut job.  Now as conservatives we get to sit back and enjoy watching our democratic friends squirm as they try to defend Obama.  I grew tired of defending Rodman and the Bulls did win three championships with him but most nut jobs don’t work out so well.  I’m just hoping that Obama will dye his hair different colors, get a bunch of tattoos and more piercings than a voodoo doll.
