Obama Becoming a “One Note Johnny”

For those not familiar with the Orlando radio talk scene back in the late 80’s and early 90’s we had a couple of popular talk show host. Clive Thomas and Jim Phillips on the local AM radio station. For awhile there Clive Thomas was the number one star attraction. He was a Columbia educated Ivy Leaguer with a sharp intellect and passion for freedom and liberty in a traditional 19 century liberal sense. He was popular with libertarian minded listeners and achieved the height of his carrier in the mid to late 80’s championing free speech issues. Then he became obsessed with pornography free speech and challenging the Christian “Power Team” trying to expose them as fakes.

Orlando Radio Personality Clive Thomas became a “One note Johnny” and eventually irrelevant.

The Power Team was a group of Christian body builders who gave exhibitions for children lifting weights and performing great feats of strength like breaking hand cuffs. Of course they were not standard issue hand cuffs but who really cared? Clive use to chase them around with a real set of hand cuffs asking them to use them on their show. People just wanted to slap Clive across the face and yell “It’s a kids show shut the hell up!” Clive never did really understand the absurdity of his pursuit and that was the beginning of his changing from a serious talk show host to a freak show.
About this time Clive also became obsessed with protecting pornographic free speech and shrilling for the rights of local adult entertainment businesses and their issues. Soon his show was nothing but the Power Team and pornographic free speech issues. A nuclear bomb could explode in Clermont and Clive would be talking about pornography and the Power Team. It was a sad experience toward the end for listeners like me to hear this great master of radio degenerate into what fellow radio broadcaster Jim Phillips described as “a one note Johnny.”
And so to our president is rapidly changing form a serious politician to a freak show who repeats the same dogma day after day. As millions of barrels of oil leak into the Gulf of Mexico the president pays lip service to fixing the problem and promotes another tax scheme. Yes for the Afro Leninist an environmental disaster is a good excuse for more taxes on the American public and another power grab. Same thing with health care. Same thing with financial reform. Same thing with the stimulus. Soon to be the same thing with the upcoming proposal of a Value Added Tax. Same crap different day. No matter what the situation is the answers is always tax the American people and consolidate power in Washington. A one note Johnny.

Obama’s answer to every problem? Tax Americans more.

This environmental disaster has exposed Obama for what he really is. A shallow affirmative action hire without the depth of intellect or experience of a man like Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton would have had every oil collecting ship in the world in the Gulf of Mexico pulling 24/7 shifts collecting, burning, dispersing and doing everything humanly possible to mitigate the damage to the environment. What is Obama worried about? His public image and not using nonunion labor or foreign labor and vessels to clean up the mess.
Exposed for everyone on the right and left to see. It’s obvious to the leftist who truly care about the environment Obama could care less. Just a good excuse for more taxes and another power grab. All his love the earth talk exposed for the cheap talk that it is. When the issue really mattered about protecting the environment all he was worried about was his union friends.
A man who is rapidly being looked at as a buffoon side show by both the right and left and not the president. Jimmy Carter II. A one term president. A one note Johnny.
