Obama Bows to the Burger King

There's a whole lotta bowing going on . . . first President Obama bowed to the King Abdulla of Saudi Arabia and then to the Japanese Emperor Akihito . . . and now it seems Obama's back home bowing again:

Sarah Palin Going Rogue; Hunts for Mooseburger Helper

On the heels of her Oprah visit, "Sarah Palin" took time out of her busy schedule promoting Going Rogue to plug our Mooseburger Helper—probably because it's locked 'n loaded with mac 'n cheese flavor:

National Waffle Week: Obama Waffles in the Spotlight

Since it's National Waffle Week—not to be confused with National Waffle Day on August 24th—we think it's fitting for waffle lovers everywhere to stock up on Barack Obama's breakfast of choice.

Always hungry for a great waffle scoop, DJ Layne Roberts, A.K.A. "The Doctor" on Penn's Peak Radio, had a tasty conversation this morning with Mark Whitlock, co-founder of Obama Waffles.

Obama's Muslim Roots Exposed: We Were Right

When we introduced our OBAMA WAFFLES political satire last fall, we were blasted for placing Obama on the top of the box dressed in a turban. The point we were making was simply to indicate there was some debate about his Muslim background. He denied any connection, but there was evidence to the contrary. Whoopi Goldberg and the girls on ABC's THE VIEW were especially upset at that depiction, claiming Obama had nothing to do with the Muslim faith.

Looks like we were right and our critics were wrong.

ABC News reported last night that Team Obama is admitting that Pres. Barack Hussein Obama has, in fact, Muslim roots. They cite Denis McDonough, Obama's National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications, as saying, "the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to—or before he's been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world—you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father—obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago."

That's pretty amazing from Pres. Obama, a guy who once attempted to distance himself from his own middle name, as ABC News reported last year and who also claimed that those who said he had Muslim roots were "just making stuff up." Frankly, we don't care if he IS a Muslim, we'd just like the truth without the waffling.

In true wafflicious fashion, Obama is now waffling on his previous denials. When speaking to the Turkish Parliament on April 6, 2009, Obama talked about how many "Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them."

And, ABC reporters Jake Tapper and Sunien Miller observe, "Since the election . . . with the threat of the rumors at least somewhat abated, the White House has been increasingly forthcoming about the president's roots. Especially when reaching out to the Muslim world."

Suddenly it looks like we were prophetic.

What's next? Maybe the White House will finally start admitting Obama is a socialist, too.

A Revolution is Brewing: I'll keep my wallet, you keep the change!

Bryan Barton presents Barack Obama's "Tax and Spend" video just in time for the hundreds of planned Tax Day Tea Party's on April 15th. Rather than drink the administration's Kool-Aid of bailouts and handouts, millions of protesters will say with one voice, "Mr. President, I'll keep my wallet, you keep the change!"

Walgreens Censors; says Chia Obama a bust

Chia Pet creator, Joseph Pedott, thought his special edition Chia Obama bust, which sprouts grass-like hair, was a terrific tribute to the 44th President, Barack Obama. Initially, company executives at Walgreens agreed . . . and then waffled on their Obama figurine order.

Originally sold in the test markets of Chicago and Tampa, Walgreens pulled Chia Obama from their shelves a few days after its debut. The reason? Company reps said "it's not our image." Exactly. It's Obama's image. So what's the issue? Some suggest that Chia Obama's Chia "hair" was a hurtful racial stereotype of the Afro hairstyle.

Pedott bristles at the accusation, telling FoxNews, "Obama had an Afro — does that make him racist? So how the hell do you get racist out of it?" What's more, as Pedott points out, "you can give him a haircut."

This isn't the first time Walgreens waffled on carrying Obama-oriented collectibles. As we reported last Fall, executives at Walgreens banned a series of talking Obama, Hillary, and McCain novelty dolls for fear of offending other customers. Forget about growing Chia hair, Walgreens should grow a backbone.

Collectors can still order the $19.99 Chia Obama here. And while you're at it, why not order a fresh box of Obama Waffles to enjoy with your Chia!

Obama Fingers: Finger Food or Racial Stereotype?

Hungry for more sales, a German frozen food maker may have bit off more than they can chew with their Barack Obama-inspired fried chicken tenders. As you might expect from the we-get-offended-at-everything crowd, the Sprehe company is taking heat for marketing "Obama-Fingers."

Unlike our Obama Waffles political satire, there's no caricature of Barack Obama on the box. Nor are they attempting to make a political statement. According to a spokesperson for the company, "Obama-Fingers" refers to the fact that their "tender, juicy pieces of chicken breast, coated and fried" are finger food. Why, then, the criticism?

Their alleged offense is that the product is "racially insensitive."

Evidently, the association between fried chicken and America's first African-American president, Barack Obama, is in bad taste. When asked whether the Sprehe company was being insensitive to racial stereotypes, Judith Witting, a sales manager for the firm, claimed the thought never occurred to them. Witting says, "It was supposed to be a homage to the American lifestyle and the new U.S. President."

For the record, the controversial chicken fingers are served with curry dip.

Obama Carnival Float Racism in the Sky?

On Monday, February 23, the Associated Press released a photo by Frank Augstein (see below) featuring a flying "Angel" President Barack Obama hovering over a carnival float in Duesseldorf, Germany.

Evidently, reporter Joan Lowy, whose hit piece blasted us for selling our Obama Waffles with the allegedly racial stereotypes of "popping eyes and big, thick lips" is mum on the parade. If you want to talk about "thick lips" this float takes the cake—and what about that big cheesy, Sambo grin? . . . how about those ears, no exaggeration there, eh Joan?

Maybe the real issue is that, according to progressives on the left, it's okay to use political satire when Obama is swooping down to save the world (notice how he's pulling Europe along for the ride) but not when the political satire points out Obama's waffling on the issues.
 

President Obama on MAD: Racial Stereotype or Fair Satire?

It's a mad, mad world and leave it to the folks at MAD magazine to capture the challenges President Barack Obama will face—not in his first 100 days, but in Obama's first 100 minutes. While funny in a sad way, the question persists: does the caricature of President Obama on the cover of Mad represent a racial slur? Or is it fair political satire?

After all, Obama is depicted with bulging eyes and thick lips—which are hurtful racial stereotypes according to Whoopi Goldberg on ABC's the View, at least that was her accusation when she was busy blasting our Obama Waffles.

Where's the outcry, Whoopi? Why aren't you offended by the exaggerated characteristics of Obama on the MAD cover? Or, are you cool with bulging eyes and thick lips as long as they're not on a box of waffle mix lampooning the waffling of your candidate?

It's not the first time Barack H. Obama made MAD. Obama was featured on the September 2008 cover. That time around, MAD depicted him with their famous exaggerated Alfred E. Newman ears treatment. Interestingly, there hasn't been a peep of protest from the left after either edition hit the streets. Can you say "Double Standard"?
