This was a hilarious surprise! We all know that Obama is a gentleman who happens to have a wicked, droll sense of humor. While speaking at a rally in Cleveland, OH, he had a couple of comments about Hegseth that were nearly beyond perfect. Wait till Hegseth hears about it. He’s going to be *pissed*. It does make one wonder if he’ll be able to come up with anything good to fire back at Obama because nearly everything was the truth!
Hegseth is very insecure. Obama is not. There are many doubts about Hegseth because he doesn’t seem to be too blessed in the brains department. He’s nowhere near the level of where a Secretary of Defense (not War, because that’s nonsense) should be. But he looks good on TV *cough*choke* Has anyone noticed he’s getting white hair at his temples? Stress will do that to you! (He probably thinks it makes him look distinguished.)
At this point, we could probably have quite a list of things to put together that Hegseth has screwed up. [Comments welcome to start generating a list outside of the obvious SignalGates, boat strikes, the Forever War.] But let’s hear from Obama, via and with appreciation to Raw Story:
“Meanwhile,” Obama argued, Hegseth appeared to have his attention drawn elsewhere. “You’ve got the defense secretary who’s squarely focused on important matters, like the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops! And live-streaming executions! Because that’s how he thinks: you cultivate that manly, warrior spirit!” Obama said, sparking laughter from the crowd. “How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking himself in the mirror in the morning? You know he’s working his hair, ’cause that’s how warriors look! These are not serious people. And the problem is, you end up having to pay the price for their lack of seriousness!”
Hegseth is probably spending a ridiculous amount of time looking at himself in the mirror. Vanity is definitely one of his sins, hence the ridiculous makeup studio in the Pentagon. He’s prejudiced against anyone and everyone in the military who isn’t a white male. He fires people for no reason. He doesn’t listen to his advisors. He’s worthless because he isn’t representative of the military. He’s just a pretty face (your opinion may differ).
It’s been a while since we’ve had a one-trick pony, so here you are for a casual Sunday night. It was worth the time to bring this to you. We’ll get together in the next column.
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
