Yes, Virginia, Santa Is A Democrat

                                                             

Dear Virginia,

Thank you for your letter which asked me if your friends are correct, if indeed there is no Santa Claus.  Dear girl, here's what I have to offer you.



Virginia, your friends are wrong.  Most probably they are Republicans.  They have been affected by the skepticism about our ability to continue giving out welfare checks and unemployment checks and Food Stamps and even free cell phones because of our $18 trillion dollar national debt.

My dear Virginia, your friends are blinded by math.  They try to insist that 2 + 2 must always equal 4.  They are wrong sweetie.  We can make 2 + 2 equal anything we wish to make it equal.  As just an example dear, I won 107% of the vote in some black neighborhoods in Philadelphia when no one said that's possible.  I did the same thing in Cleveland and Chicago and Baltimore and Detroit!  All we needed to do was to toss 200 voting auditors from the polling places, and "voila", victory was mine!

Yes, Virginia..it's all about the math.  When I insist we can solve our annual deficits by taxing the millionaires and billionaires I really mean something less than that.  Though I say millionaires and billionaires I'm really talking about anyone who makes $200,000 a year.  See how it works, Virginia?

How could you ever doubt the existence of Santa Claus? , dear Virginia.  When I forgave those who foolishly took out more mortgage debt than they could afford wasn't that just like Santa?   When I started "Cash For Clunkers" and gave anyone who was driving a big SUV gas hog a $7,000 dollar check to buy a new car wasn't  that like Santa?  When I gave out $10 billion dollars to Solar Company executives who were campaign donors, and who later went bankrupt, wasn't that just like Santa Claus?

Didn't I give out free cell phones to welfare mothers, dear girl?  Didn't I sign a bill that forgave student loan debt if our students hadn't paid back their loan after 20 years?  Didn't I give free medical care (including illegal immigrants) to 30 million Americans who choose to buy IPODs and big screen televisions over paying their health care premiums? 

Be careful, Virginia.  Those who don't believe in Santa Claus always pay the price.  Those old people on Medicare have outgrown their belief in Santa Claus so I put sand in their stockings and took $716 billion from their Medicare program to pay for all that free Obamacare!

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.  He exists as certainly as the Democratic party and vote buying exist!  How dreary this world would be without Santa Claus, my dear Virginia.  If there were more working people and fewer people who don't wish to work there would be no Democratic party and no "me"....because, you see, Virginia, I am Santa Claus! 

No, I don't live at the North Pole.  I live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. but, like Santa, Ms Claus and I love to travel around the world!  In fact we spent $100 million dollars in four years flying to Spain and France and Britain and Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard!  Though we don't travel in a sleigh we have some really big airplanes and helicopters to take us where we need to go!

My dear Virginia, I'm so glad so many Americans are just like you; they believe in Santa Claus and no amount of rational thought, no amount of logic shall ever force you to "do the math"...or stop you from believing that you can always and forever get "something for nothing". 

Some of my biggest fans have called me a "savior" and deemed me "saintly".  Well, Virginia, of course I am!  I am St. Nick, alias Santa Claus!

Always keep believing in me, sweet Virginia!  And don't ever stop. For if you do, you're going to see a really big tax bill when you're about 35 years old!

Merry Christmas Virginia.

Santa (BHO) Claus

I think a couple letters are in the wrong order, sounds more like Satan Clause to me. Merry Christmas.

And a Merry Christmas to you, Craig.

Once these "gifts" are in the pipeline even a Republican Administration has trouble stopping them. Be nice to stop the giving until we can at least catch our breath. Stop the giving to the lazy and the greedy, both! But either way I don't get taxed much. It takes me 15 years to make $200,000.

Actually took a few minutes this morning to read your blog, considering I've been working at least 16 hours a day to keep up with my Christmas orders!! So............I must get back to work so I can pay for everyone's welfare checks, phones, insurance, etc. No time to chat! I have gov't bills to pay ~

Jerry, on stopping a government program; that's why I was so red hot to kill the Obamacare monster before it took over 1/6th of the economy. And we all are seeing how hard it is to kill it now.

Carol, I hope your work eases up soon...sorry for all those government bills but someone has to pay for all that free time to loot and burn and protest.

Carol said...

Obamacare will be a slow, agonizing death!

Yes, working hard to help pay our billions & support our looters!

OK; my break time is over. Don't want the boss thinking I'm a slacker! Oh, wait, I am the boss!! LOL

And remember: A growing number of Americans believe in Santa Clause.... If it comes from the government, "it's free"...
