As the drought in the country grows worse and corn crops are scorched throughout the heartland, the Obama Administration has a big decision to make…

It needs to decide what’s more important for America, food on the country’s dinner tables or “green” ethanol fuel added to our gas tanks. Because as the drought carries on, what was to be a bumper crop of corn in the US is now becoming the worst crop-destroying event in more than a half-century.  And it’s getting worse.

If it sounds horrible that’s because it is.

Corn prices continue to rise as supplies dwindle and demand grows.  Corn, of course, is a basic and crucial part of the US food chain.  It is not only heavily used in human food consumption, but also in livestock feed.  And without adequate feed, cattle and other livestock shortages are on the menu.

A corn shortage means higher costs to feed the animals that end up in our Double Whoppers with cheese, our pork roasts, and our indispensible Sausage McMuffins.  That translates into higher food prices all around.

But corn is also used to produce ethanol; lot’s of it.  Since Washington mandates that ethanol be added to US gasoline, the corn shortage means higher gas prices as well.  And guess what?  Gas prices are going up.  And yet, not a word from Washington.

Actually, when you think about it, famine and higher fuel prices are really the perfect crisis for the administration, as it falls right in line with its ideological goals of controlling what we eat, what we drive, what we put in our gas tanks, and our freedom of movement.

What could be better?

The Obama Famine let’s the administration kill several parts of the American way of life with one stone…

The Obama Famine Diet

The Obama Famine is a very useful crisis in so many ways…

Madame Obama has made it painfully clear that we Americans are too fat.  And she’s right; we are too fat.  We have no business eating as much beef…as they do.  Of course, the Obama’s import their beef from Japan, so it’s a different matter altogether.

Not only those, our carbon footprints are too big.   As a carbon-based life form, mine is a 10 ½ to 11, depending upon the shoe.

And of course, it will help make the Government Motors (GM) Volt seem like a good value, exploding battery notwithstanding.

I can hear the infomercial now...

America, you’re too fat! But with the new Obama Famine Diet, you’ll lose not 10%, not 20%, but up to 50% of your body weight just by NOT EATING! 

Have other diets failed you?  Think you can’t do it alone?  Don’t worry; you won’t be alone!  150 million of your fellow Americans will be on the Famine Diet with you!  What have you got to lose, except all that fat?

But wait; there’s more!

Do you have bulimia?  Then you’re in luck! The Obama Famine Diet cures bulimia! You can’t throw up food that you haven’t eaten, America.

Are you anorexic?  Wonderful!  You’re already on the Obama Famine Diet, so you know it works!

Hate Chick-fil-A as much as we do?  Good, because on the Obama Famine Diet, you won’t be able to afford it!

And just for being on the Obama Famine Diet, we’ll throw in an Added Bonus!

Can’t afford to put expensive gas in your car because you’re unemployed? 

Not a problem!  With the Obama Famine Diet, you not only have no job to drive to, but when you do need to get somewhere, you can just walk!  Think of how much more weight you’ll lose, and how much smaller your carbon footprint will be!

You’re probably asking yourself, “How do I get the Obama Famine Diet?”

Well, like much of the food that soon won’t be available to ordinary Americans, the Obama Famine Diet is not sold in stores.  But luckily, it is sold exclusively by the Democratic National Committee, the Obama Re-election Committee, and a forward-leaning cable news channel near you!

Finally, if you want an even better deal, you can get an additional FOUR YEARS of the Obama Famine Diet FREE just by voting for it this November! 

What could be easier?  Poor is the new rich!  And thin is always in!  Join the Obama Famine Diet today!  And actually, America, we’re not asking. 

Sounds like a real winner, doesn’t it?

But this food crisis is no surprise, it was obvious and I wrote about it a year ago, here: http://www.absolutewealth.com/ready-to-choke-on-higher-food-prices/.

Ideology over reality

It should be no surprise at this point that the administration consistently misleads the public about how bad things really are.  Real unemployment, the U-6 level of folks who want a job but don’t have one, is at 20% nationally.

Rising food prices and falling wages mean only more hardship for Americans; and this administration’s solution?  Encourage more Americans to get on food stamps…

It’s the president putting his finger in our faces, telling us, “I own you.  You need me.  So get over yourselves and get your sorry asses in line for your government cheese.”

It’s our very own hoop-shooting Prez’s socialist slam-dunk over capitalist Middle America, and he’s loving it.

By now, there should be no doubt about the lies the administration tells America to hide what their objectives and its priorities are.  The Obama administration chooses ideology over the American people every time.  It chooses “green” over red, white, and blue; it promotes government dominance over individual freedom; and elevates the Chicago thug way of doing things over the lawful way.

Increasingly it is becoming obvious that this administration is entirely too enthusiastic about the prospects of telling the rest of America “No You Can’t.”

And those are…The Gorrie Details.
