The Last Gaspers

This is Joe Ricketts, the latest elderly, overweight, old fool out to destroy Obama. They are coming at our president full force: an army of white-haired billionaire bigots, each with a "cunning plan that cannot fail" to defeat President Obama in the fall. This nitwit's brainstorm was a film titled The Roots of Obama's 
Rage, trying once again to tie Obama to Reverend Wright, a plot so transparently stupid that even Mr. Cellophane, Mitt Romney, nixed it. Especially since any mention of religion would open the eighty-foot steel doors of Mitt's Mormon citadel not to mention his underwear drawer. When I get pessimistic about the upcoming election, all I have to do is remind myself that most of Obama's detractors seem to be wealthy and close-to-senile old men, Scrooge McDucking their wealth because they're afraid two billion dollars won't last the eight years of life they have left. Besides they'd like to go to their graves, crypts or vases with the happy thought that they successfully kept ordinary people ordinary. Ricketts, of course, is far from ordinary since he is part owner of the Chicago Cubs and had a distinguished career as a securities officer and purveyor of bison meat. And while he is only 70 (though he looks
older)  his kind of inner rage and anger happily does men in before eighty. (In Breitbart's case, long before.)

P.S. I particularly like that his name is nearly the same as a disease caused by a Vitamin D deficiency and that his daughter is not only a lesbian but works of President Obama.
