What an Obama-Palin Administration Would Have Done For Our Economy

Posted by DORIAN DE WIND in At TMV.
Nov 21st, 2008 | Comments

Note: For the sake of letting bygones be bygones, I have been pondering about posting this piece of political satire. However, after watching Palin’s absolutely lame and ghastly news conference tonight on the occasion of her gubernatorial pardon of the Alaska Thanksgiving turkey, I am just going to let it rip, and damn the torpedoes. (Parents, you may not want to let your small children watch how two or three turkeys get their heads chopped off…while Palin drones on)

I just read reports predicting that up to four million people are expected to jam our nation’s capital to participate in Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremonies and festivities.

The following silly (my “admirers” will call it “lame”) thought suddenly sprung to mind. What if, instead of the Obama-Biden ticket, the winning ticket had been an “Obama-Palin” one. What impact would such an administration have had on our collapsing economy?

With Sarah Palin’s super-star status, can you imagine the crowds that would be trekking to Washington to observe the coronation of not one, but two, super-celebrities? At least eight million? Perhaps more? What an even bigger shot in the arm this would have been for the travel industry, and for our economy, at a critical time.

As vice-presidential candidate, Palin had no problem splurging $150,000 for wardrobe and accessories in a few weeks. As vice-president, requiring even more fancy attire for herself and “silkier” underpinnings for the Vice-Dude, she would easily go through a figure ten times as large. What a boon for the high-class garment industry, and for our economy.

There are reports that the vice-presidential wannabe may get up to $7 million for a book that she may write. As a real vice-president in an Obama administration, Palin could have written a tell-all memoir (including how the President palls around with mongrel puppies and with his mother-in-law), which would surely fetch several times that amount. Knowing her admirable “Country First” dedication, she certainly would have contributed all of the proceeds to the ailing publishing industry.

With a Palin “drill, baby, drill—here, there and everywhere,” policy, including in Alaska’s ANWR, off our shores and beaches, and in other pristine wilderness and wildlife refuge areas, billions would have been pumped into the coffers of the oil industry–some of it hopefully would have trickled down to Joe the Plumber’s economy.

After drilling, baby, drilling, Palin could have applied her generous Alaskan redistribution of wealth policy to the other 49 states and could have sent every man, woman and child in America a yearly dividend check of at least $3,269—as Alaska residents are getting this fall. This would have really kick-started our economy.

And let’s not forget what a boost a Palin-sponsored policy of unrestricted, unfettered mining and logging in our national parks and preserves would have been to the mining, logging and trucking industries, and to all our Joe the Miners, Loggers and Truckers.

The bridge building industry would have been be in for a real revival, with the building of thousands of new bridges across our land, some leading to real places, some to nowhere. Regardless, this would have been a tremendous boost to the heavy construction industry, and one that would have trickled down to Bob, sorry, Joe the Builder’s economy.

The sports/hunting-aviation industry would be in for a significant upturn with a Palin policy of permitting unrestricted shooting at wolves and moose from helicopters and light aircraft. Imagine what a bonanza this would have been to all our Joe the Skinners.

Perhaps one of the biggest sources of revenue for the government, and for our economy, would have come from selling on e-Bay the thousands of surplus military and government aircraft presently sitting idly at aircraft graveyards in the Mojave desert and elsewhere. Again, Joe the Aircraft Mechanic would have been sitting pretty.

I know that Sarah Palin, with her vivid imagination (remember, she could see Russia from her home and had visions of Putin rearing his head over Alaskan airspace), could have come up with many more ingenious ideas to solve our nation’s economic woes.

Sadly, this wasn’t to be. We now will have to take our chances and plod along with an Obama-Biden administration.

In the meantime, I just feel sorry for all those turkeys in Wasilla, Alaska.

I don't know about you but there is no way I will be eating tofurky. I like turky and I can live with one dying for my meal. I can eat it and I can stand to know where it came from. By the way Palin lost, it's time to move on.

Manchester2

I take it you'll be giving up ALL meat? Ever thought about how it gets to your table? (smile)

greenschemes

And the Sarah Palin Bashing just keeps on keeping on. Good.

Bash away. Thats what they did to Hillary and if it wasnt for Obama she would be president elect right now.

Bash away. Keep her in the news. Us Conservatives need hope and your incessant bashing of Palin just keeps it alive. Ronnie Reagan in the making. Alive, vibrant and positive. AFter 4 or 8 years of far left liberal muck the country will be ready for a fresh, hopeful, cheery Conservative to lead the way. So please keep her in the news and keep the bashfest going. I love it!!

Thank you.

D. E.Rodriguez

greenschemes:

In the great (green)scheme of things, who knows, you may be right: all this "bashing" might get Palin the sympathy vote. But, Sarah Palin "Ronnie Reagan in the making"? Wow!

As a Democrat who respected (and still does) president Reagan, please don't insult one of the better Conservative presidents our nation has had.

JSpencer

Palin has been a great vehicle for entertainment and we should be grateful for this in a time when smiles are getting harder to come by. The determination by some to take her too seriously is symptomatic of the "us vs. them" mentality that caused the GOP to crash and burn in the first place, so there is a lesson there for folks like greenschemes. If Palin is going to be the gift that keeps giving, then we should just all be glad humans have the capacity for humor.

Marlowecan

Well, I must admit it was a bizarre choice of backdrop.

But JSpencer, the "us vs. them" mentality of the GOP that you refer to is reinforced by repeated "gotcha" videos. . . clips . . . interviews that highlight supposed foibles of conservative leaders.

For example, the "Bush Snub by Global Leaders" that the Left went ecstatic about. Turns out, it wasn't a snub at all.
See Jeanne Moos explanation on CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/...

Such "gotchas" are wearisomely familiar to conservatives . . . highlighted by the fact they are never, in my recollection, done to liberal leaders.
I would point to Crazy Joe Biden's series of bizarro comments on TV during the election, that vanished down the MSM memory hole, never to be heard from again.

Thus, I think, Greenschemes has a point here. I don't know what conservatives will be left for the MSM to mock for the next year or so . . . will we still be seeing Mock Palin videos in a year's time? . . . but this reinforces a sense of grievance on the right.
Wilderness years are particularly fruitful for conservatives.

D. E.Rodriguez

Marlowecan:

I understand, appreciate, and perhaps even agree with your frustation with the "repeated 'gotcha' videos....clips....interviews that highlight supposed foibles of conservative leaders"

But to then say, "the fact they are never, in my recollection, done to liberal leaders" is just ludicrous. Perhaps, when I have more time, I might post a long, long list of such. (Some of the readers with a quicker recollection may want to set the record straight right away)

But, what does come to mind right away (and this isn't even a "gotcha"--but much worse) is the 24-7, endless loop of video and commentary by right wing TV and talk radio on the Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, etc., sleaze and allegations against our president-elect.

Silhouette

Yes, if you eat meat or wear or own leather or use any other products from a deceased animal you cannot object to that video at all.

It is the reality of meat-eating. And that guy was being very humane with his kills. They hang them upside down in those cone things and slit their throats very quickly. That guy was holding its feet so it wouldn't thrash about and feel pain in it's last waning moments of consciousness. All in all it looked like a very humane outfit. The turkeys inside were not crowded. There was ample ventilation in their coop (venting noxious ammonia) and the animals did not look stressed at all.

That's how you keep a farm. My chickens, who will meet exactly the same fate as those in the photo, only with an axe and then hung from a tree to bleed, are free-ranging, healthy, fat and happy birds. They roost in the bushes at night or the hay stack and peck about the yard all day long. Our stock dog keeps a watchful eye on them at night and drives all predators away. Haven't lost a bird with her yet.

And when the day comes for them to die, I assure you it will be a more painless and humane way than if a fox got them. Before we got this dog, we'd get racoons and fox killing them now and then. I'd find body parts strewn about the property..remains.. feathers everywhere. Can you imagine being slowly torn apart squawking for your life as something ate you alive? Let's just say that doesn't happen when we kill.

If you eat meat, you have to kill it first. Them's the facts.

Marlowecan

Dorian...

Your response was interesting. I think we are talking about two different genres.

You refer to the "endless loop of video and commentary by right wing TV and talk radio on the Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers etc". This is very true.

While there was a bit of the Wright "Goddamn America" used, it was very little. The Bill Ayers was the GOP version of the classic "Guilt by Association" meme that Democrats have played against the GOP since the days of the "Moral Majority" linking Falwell and Co. to Reagan etc.

But these are all side-liners. I am referring to the embarrasing videos/photos of the conservative/liberal leaders themselves.

The X over Cheney's picture on the CNN video feed (with accompanying laughter from the control room on one notorious copy); the endless pictures of George W. scruching his face up in a bizarre way (of course, W. tends to do this all the time, so I will concede, Dorian, it is hard to find a normal shot of him sometimes :)

Or the classic, and admittedly hilarious, shot -- folks here might recall -- of McCain behind Obama at a debate, tongue out, seeming to lunge zombie-like for Obama's butt.

This last one was a one-in-a-million shot that is totally innocuous in context of the video of the debate. Yet it propagated virally.

In contrast, there are never shots of liberal leaders in embarrassing poses. Obama is invariably shown gazing heroically into the middle distance.

(There is, btw, considerable debate about this issue in the UK re. the BBC's well-known habit of manipulating the color imagery on stock photos of conservatives, so that they are drained of color. Tony Blair, widely hated at the Beeb, is one "liberal" leader who has also come in for this treatment. I would point out there is a notorious video of Prime Minister Brown picking his nose while sitting in the House of Commons. This was shown once, and has been tossed in BBC vaults, never to be seen again in full color. Brown is a reliable left-winger, and thus in favor at the Beeb. Had the video been of Margaret Thatcher, high-definition copies would have been posted on YouTube long ago.)

Thus, I think, there are two different genres we are talking about. Embarrassing photos/videos of liberal leaders (except those out of favor, such as Blair, or maybe Big Dog Bill Clinton) are non-existent.

Of course, I await correction if someone can find an Obama Booger video, for example :)

Marlowecan

Sil...

That was an unsettling, but informative, response. I had not thought of this video in terms of a rural/urban cognitive divide.

I thought it bizarre that Palin would have this as a backdrop, but maybe she just never thought twice about it.

We urbanites tend to forget about the nature of the food chain often.

Thank you for this remainder.

D. E.Rodriguez

Thanks for your insight on this subject, Silhouette,and thanks for the way you keep your farm. I realize that those of us who eat meat bear some burden for both the ethical and unethical treatment and killing of those animals we eventually eat.

The problem with the Palin turkey video is two-fold. There is no getting away from the fact that seeing animals slaughtered--even in a humane way--puts many people off. And what a disservice Palin's staff have done to her by allowing the cameras to record the in-many-peoples-minds cruel, bloody slaughter of those turkeys.

Plus, whatever she was saying (and I went back and forced myself to listen to her and not to look at the slaughter behind her--and I still don't know what she was droning about) was completely lost to her audiences.

Oh well, I am sure there will be many more opportunities for Sarah Palin to shine.

Marlowecan

Dorian...maybe all of Palin's staff were Wasillites? (Hmmm...sounds Biblical. What is Wasilla named after anyhow?)

But you are totally right that this was a dumb move. Handlers should never allow their talent to be in such shots. I recall Gerald Ford's fumbling of a football, for example, that carried symbolic resonance.

Puzzling, really, that staffers can be this dumb. Especially conservative staffers, who should know everything will be used against them.

Yes, the debate about "gotcha" videos used against conservatives aside, as a political video this was a case of dumb and dumber.

D. E.Rodriguez

Marlowecan:

Thank you for your comments, but--again--I have to disagree with you that "In contrast, there are never shots of liberal leaders in embarrassing poses."

Again, please give me some time to provide some examples.

Although--and this is, from a political viewpoint, probably very "self-incriminating" in a way--there is that very infamous (mental) shot of one of our "liberal leaders" in a very "embarrassing pose". A mental image that will probably stay with us for our lifetimes.

D. E.Rodriguez

Marlowecan:

Did a quick search on Wikipedia on Wasilla:

In 1917, the U.S. government planned the Alaska Railroad to intersect the the Carle Wagon Road (present Wasilla-Fishhook Road) which connected Knik and the mines.[7] Knik businesses and residents rushed to purchase plattes and the town declined. Wasilla Station was named for the nearby Wasilla Creek. Local miners used the name "Wassila Creek", referring to Wassila, a chief of the Dena'ina. There are two sources cited for the name, one being derived from a Dena'ina word meaning "breath of air" while another stating Dena'ina derived it from the Russian name "Vasili."[8][9]

**************
You guys are welcome to the insights. True, the Palin choice of backdrop was a little odd, considering she's trying to appeal to ?? Maybe she thought this would really rope in the right "red meat" crowd? In any event I appreciated seeing her in this mileau. It was, if nothing else, an honest backdrop for her.

The equivalent on the liberal side, a side that wants us also to buy their slant on "acceptable realness", would be interviewing a gay man about the rights to gay marriage in front of an S&M bondage storefront where a man was being fitted for leathers behind the glass, in full view, and taught how to wield a whip..

I mean, that would be "the reality of some gay lifestyles" vs Palin's "the reality of some rightwing lifestyles."

Either would defeat the purpose of winning folks over. But more importantly, they make them think? Maybe some vegetarianism was inspired by Palin's backdrop? Or maybe the shot was educational? We cannot be hypocrites. We must look at everything each one of us does and wears and eats and look to the origins of those things and make informed decisions.

I'm a big fan of looking at all the angles and keeping it real. If you didn't know that already by now...lol...

DLS

And either team would be replacing...?

It's definitely worth looking through the entire sequence. (Not just for you, Shaun.)

I agree with Silhouette on the reality diet thing. I shoot a deer most years, as I am an omnivore and happen to like venison. I choose my shots carefully and make humane kills (which I wish was the MO of all hunters) and so am not particularly upset by the backdrop to Palin's little interview. As for the suggestion that liberals are rarely the victims of cheapshots, well... maybe I've been around longer than you Marlowe, but that simply doesn't hold water. As one example, you may have heard of this guy whose been around a long time (too long imo) who has pretty much made the gratuitous trashing of liberals his life's work. I'll give you a hint, his initials are RL, and his archives are far, far too extensive to highlight in any one post. The fact is, when a politician goes out of his or her way to deliberately mischaracterize and attack political foes, there will be repercussions, and they may not end on election day either. And if that politician goes out of his or her way to provide an unusual amount of fodder for "retribution", then it's fair to expect them to be in the news a bit longer than usual. Sarah Palin has done nothing to set herself above the fray, and has in fact deliberately encouraged the fray, and is therefore not exactly meriting privileged and/or sacred status. I bear her no ill will, but neither am I surprised to see her reaping some of the "rewards" of what she has sown along the way. If one plans on being in the bigtime in any profession, be it politics, football, or science, then you had darned well better be prepared. You know the old saying, "If you can't stand the heat, then stay out of the kitchen". I've commented here on more than one occasion that I thought it unfair, and perhaps even cruel, for certain people to push Palin into playing a role she was terribly out of her element in attempting. I hope those folks are proud of themselves, but as I know who some of them are, I realize they won't be losing any sleep over the part they've played in this chapter of her life.

Marlowecan

D.E.R. said: "Did a quick search on Wikipedia on Wasilla . . . .from the Russian name "Vasili."

Ack! Now, whenever I watch an old "Star Trek" rerun . . . with Chekhov's awful Russian accent warning about the approaching "wessel"...I will be thinking of Palin and the bloody turkeys!!

Still, thanks for the trivia, Dorian. Odd that nobody seems ever to have been curious about that odd name through the election...everything else about that Peyton Place in the Pines was spread across our papers.

JSpencer, of course I didn't mean to say that liberals were never victims of cheap shots. Just that many MSM videos and photo shoots are invariably anti-conservative, and very few, if any, anti-liberal. Arguably, the most notorious being The Atlantic's cover portrait/scandal of John McCain...for which The Atlantic only apologized as the photographer publically and unequivocally declared embarrassing McCain was her intent...unlike other cases in which the MSM has the wiggle-room of "it's a matter of interpretation".

As the photographer for the Atlantic's hit-cover portrait of McCain asked rhetorically:
"Why else would they [The Atlantic] hire me, knowing how anti-Republican I was?"

Why indeed?

D. E.Rodriguez

What if we call it a draw, as to which Party demonizes, humiliates, ridicules, and pokes fun at the other party's political leaders and not-so-leaders?

I am sure there are plenty of examples on either side, and we can save ourselves some time "researching."

GreenDreams

Some unflattering pictures for you Marlowe, here, here, here, here and here. Apparently, Obama is less careless about facial expressions, and well no one has provided the ridiculous fodder of McCain's grandpa Munster moment. As for video, there is plenty of that too. Let's face it, the YouTube era allows anyone to publish whatever they can find or create, true or untrue.

Like you, I dislike the tendency of those on BOTH sides to believe anything that supports their preconceptions. This is statistically more true of conservatives, who are more likely to continue to believe the lie even when it is exposed.

Marlowecan

DER said: "What if we call it a draw..."

Sounds good to me, Dorian :)

BTW: A mea culpa, Dorian. I must concede. There are some embarrassing videos of leaders on the Left.

For the cultural edification of all folks at TMV, I have found . . . on the wonder that is YouTube . . . a video of Gordon Brown - in that august and historic chamber, the House of Commons - picking his nose and eating his booger!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VaP1HB7Vew

Marlowecan

Greendreams . . . . What you say of Obama is very true, he is remarkably disciplined.

Hilary is, of course, a heretic to the Left . . . much like Blair in the UK . . . and thus is open season on her.

There is probably a larger meme here too - beyond politics of Left and Right. . . about how we tend to despise our leaders today, and want to subvert anything heroic. The idolization of Obama is a curious antithesis to this...a longing for a strong leader to transform things...and a reluctance to undermine him.

Anti-heroic vs Heroic. Two paradoxical aspects of our culture.

JSpencer

Funny how it doesn't bother me to gut out a deer, but the idea of watching that youtube just grosses me right out.

EEllis

I know he called it satire, but I'm surprised nobody called the author on the gross inaccuracies or the fact that he has trouble telling or discerning between Fay and Palin. Oh well Palin bashing is always in good fun reality aside.

StockBoySF

Yes, Palin lost. Once voters got to know her better Democrats and many Republicans found Palin to be incoherent, lacking in intelligence (and wisdom) and inhumane (and I'm not referring to the killing of the turkeys, but rather her support of the merciless helicopter chase of wild animals, running them down until they are exhausted and then shooting them). And let's not forget her ethics problems.

The GOP needs to move beyond Palin and select smart leaders with good ideas who are also upstanding citizens. Why would we want third rate people to be our leaders? It might be fine for Alaskans (especially if they can vote Stevens, a convicted felon into the Senate), but thankfully the rest of America does have better values and expects leaders who can be role models. Really, do you want to tell your child that it's ok to be a convicted felon because he (or she) can still be a US Senator and national leader?

EEllis

Well since I don't live in DC, Louisiana, or Chicago I won't have that problem will I? I also don't have a problem with shooting animals from Helicopters as being intrinsically cruel. I also don't see her "ethic problems" as being real issues, really compared with other politicians they seem minor and partisan. Mind you I don't think we know the real Palin yet as a candidate on her own but so what? I would favor Jindal over Palin but since I'm not a repub it doesn't matter much to me.

greenschemes

And now for the final obituary to this post.

The left. Barak Obama ran on the strength of "Lets unite. Lets come together. Lets stop badmouthing each other and have civility in our political discussion." obviously a paraphrase and yet. What do I continue to see from the partisan hacks out there?

Palin Bashing. Bush Bashing. Conservative Bashing. God Bashing.

So I can only say "Liars." There was never any intent by the partisan hacks of the left to come together. Only to gain power and have their finger on the Supreme court judges, the social and moral agenda of the nation.

There is no desire for non partisanship unless the other side submits and rejects their views and beliefs and repents of their sins and crosses over to the promised land of the left. Thus we have the continuation of Sarah Palin bashing because she is a threat. We have the continual laughter by a FAR LEFT media/comedy central/Bill Maher/Air America and partisan blogs that attempt to portray her as unflattering, inept and a bumbling moron because she is a threat.....she represents hope for the other side.

So the Lets all get along, stop this bickering was all a lie..........as is all political jockeying............to ascend to power at any lie/cost.

Thus thank you. While your laughter and your mockery of the right might gain you laughs from your own side, they certainly do not from the other side and they will not from the independents when the left does nothing to solve their problems in the next 4 to 8 years. Not because the left doesnt want to solve their problems........its that they wont solve them. Power begits power and if you solve the problems then you have no reason to remain in power.

StockBoySF

EEllis, shooting animals is one thing. Running them to the point of exhaustion (which is what happens in helicopter chases) is cruel.

As far as Palin's ethical issues... I don't believe a public servant should use the power of his (or her) office for personal retribution. I also do not believe a public servant, particularly the governor or president whose responsibility is to use public funds wisely and who has fiduciary responsibilities should take advantage of that position and enrich himself or herself by funneling funds their way.

It's really shocking that Americans would actually find corruption in politicians acceptable behavior. And then these same politicians are supposedly "Christians" who believe in family values. Well apparently these politicians may claim a belief in family values but they do not believe in the ten commandments because (to use Palin as but one example) they steal from the public. No wonder America is in the mess it is in today when people find it acceptable for politicians to steal for their own benefit and that there is nothing wrong with electing convicted felons to be a US Senator.

Can you please give me some of Palin's fresh ideas? Can you please point me to a legitimate interview where she DOESN'T come across as a moron and can you please explain how Palin respects other people and will work with them?

Bush Bashing. Conservative Bashing. God Bashing."

Well first of all I would like to point out that Obama did not punish Lieberman for supporting McCain and calling Obama a danger to the country. Obama also met with the Republicans Lindsay Graham and McCain in Chicago. This was done during Obama's transition and for the purpose of creating a bipartisan atmosphere.

Second of all it's the right wingers that are more partisan than the lefties. The right wingers are blaming Obama for the economy's woes (when just a couple months ago these same folks said that Obama has not been around long enough to get anything done). These right wingers are also claiming that Obama is not their president and are calling for his impeachment, etc. This is Obama bashing done by your own side.

Finally, there's a difference between being critical of people's actions and policies, such as Palin's, Bush's, the conservatives and bashing someone such as the right wingers bashing Obama. If you're happy with the way Bush has taken away your rights under the US Constitution, if youj're happy with the way the war is going in Iraq and Afghanistan, if you think the economy is going well for you and you have no concerns whatsoever (if you think your job is safe and if you think you're invested in a such a way that your money is completely safe in a completely safe bank) then you're in the minority. While there are many reasons and both the Dems and Republicans have some blame in this mess, at the end of the day it is ultimately Bush's (and the Republicans') leadership and vision which brought all these crises upon us. Don't take my word for it, the majority of Americans feel the same way.

So while you may feel safe and are happy with the way things are going under a Bush administration, the majority of Americans are not and so Bush, Palin, Cheney, etc. will be criticized. That's different than bashing.

EEllis

SB I'll call BS. There is no hunting from the air and han't been for a long time. What Palin was in favor of is predator control or killing wolves to protect herd animals. This is not about sport of running anything to death but rather limiting the number of wolves. Quit pretending she wants to kill Bambi from a helicopter. I also get tired of the personification of animals. None of which was any real point and just more BS people throw in the air when there isn't real justification for their point. There wasn't even the hint of Palin " funneling funds" but lets go ahead and make it sound like there was. Don't like someone? Just keep throwing crap into the air regardless of how inaccurate those claims are. It's dishonest.
