Does obama look like a dummy to you? He looks just like a dummy to me. His smile looks as if its painted on his face. Note his bozo shoes. Weird and odd looking. Obama is a ronald macdonald president.
He looks like a freak! Obama would say this is hate speech but in fact its big ear humor aimed at the dummy. Dummy is as dummy does or stupid is as stupid does. This means that calling a person stupid doesn't make him stupid, but we know a person by his actions. We know obama by his actions therefore he can accurately be called STUPID!
Obama speaks haughty high words yet delivers little in return. He says yes but means no. He says stop but means go. He is the man in the song come together. 'He say one and one and one is three'. He is amazing in the sense he is amazingly able to produce nothing and act as if he has produced something of value. He is an amazing fraud/imposter!

When I speak of obama I am calling a spade a spade.

What is the origin of the expression "call a spade a spade"? Is this a politically correct expression?
Let's get two things straight here: first, the expression to call a spade a spade is thousands of years old and etymologically has nothing whatsoever to do with any racial sentiment. The second is that in spite of this, some people think it is a racial statement, and therefore it should be treated with some caution by the "politically correct" or politically INCORRECT as I see them.
This only applies to the ronald mcdonald president who would urge me to use caution when I speak plainly and bluntly about the clown "president".
To call a spade a spade, which means, ironically for this discussion, 'to speak plainly and bluntly; to speak without euphemisms', is first found in Ancient Greece.
The exact origin is uncertain; the playwright Menander, in a fragment, said "I call a fig a fig, a spade a spade," but Lucian attributes the phrase to Aristophanes. Later, Plutarch notes that "The Macedonians are a rude and clownish people who call a spade a spade." (It is worth noting that the Greek word translated as "spade" seems actually to mean something like "bowl" or "trough"; the "spade" may be based on a Renaissance mistranslation. In this case the original expression was "to call a bowl a bowl," and thus the "spade" expression is "only" 500, rather than 2,500, years old.)
After it first appeared in English in the sixteenth century, the saying became quite common, and was used in various forms and allusions. An English example:
Cecily: When I see a spade I call it a spade.
Gwendolen: I am glad to say I have never seen a spade. It is obvious that our social spheres have been widely different.
--Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest
Spade meaning 'a black person' is far more recent; it is first found in the early twentieth century. It derives from the black color of the suit of spades in a deck of playing cards.
Clearly our expression to call a spade a spade was very well established long before the word spade had any racial sense.
