Town meetings seem to be great places where politicians can be themselves and say what they really believe and really mean it. Senator Jim Inholfe spent some time expounding on how President Obama is bad for the United States, as noted in this article from Tulsa World.

Just what did this gentleman have to say? I’m glad you asked. Let’s take a peek at some of the good bits.

“Every institution that has made this country the greatest nation in the world is under attack,” he said at the end of the 75-minute session.

Now if that isn’t in the spirit of zOMGWTF?!, I don’t know what is. The only way I know of to make that a stronger statement is to add in some expletives and tack a ‘yo mama’ on the end of it in some way. Wow. How about some specifics?

He is also alarmed, he said, by the proposed closing of the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Obama administration wants to shutter the camp because of its association with torture.

Really? Why? Is torture one of those institutions that make America great? No, apparently allegations of torture at Guantanamo are a lie, or something.

Inhofe said: “There has never been a case of torture there. The people there are treated better than in the federal prisons.”

Huh. Well, okay! That seems reasonable, then. What else?

He also said he continues to be proven correct in his claim that global climate change is a hoax.

I knew it!

“More and more, with each month that goes by, more scientists agree with me,” he said. “We are winning.”

Yeah, take that you pansy Liberals! There may be floating islands of plastic in the Pacific, but this whole global warming cataclysm thing is a joke. Could be, I guess. I’m no scientist.

Is that it? Making life easier for terrorists and distracting us with non-issues? Nah. Obama has more going on. He is also disarming America. No, he doesn’t mean he’s collecting up our guns, (yet?) it’s worse than that. He’s stepping on the military. Oh, you want proof? Check this out!

Inhofe’s third concern, he said, is that “Barack Obama is disarming America.” He conceded that Obama requested more military spending, but he criticized the elimination of several weapons systems, including the F-22 fighter.

And that’s not all!

Obama, at the urging of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, also scrapped one of Inhofe’s pet projects, a cannon that was to be assembled at Elgin in southwestern Oklahoma.

I see the doubters out there and I know they’re getting ready to say, “Oh, it’s his pet project, no wonder he’s crying up a storm”. Hey now, let’s be fair. Maybe it’s his pet project because he believes in it, not the other way around. This probably wouldn’t have happened if we had more people from the Bush administration shaping decisions, right? Right? Hm…

Gates, a holdover from the Bush administration, advocated abandoning high-tech systems such as the cannon and the F-22 for cheaper, more reliable weapons.

Oh. Well, is it a laser cannon? Because anyone who says no to laser cannons loses my vote.

There’s more, but that’s up to you to look for in the article. I’ll give you a hint, though, he mentions health care reform and energy bill.
