The Underwear Bomber & Barry

By now I'm sure that you've heard about the Nigerian Muslim that tried to bring down Flight 253 over Detroit on Christmas Day. What you haven't heard is Uncle Bob's Take.

Start from the beginning. An Islamic terrorist attempts to set off a bomb hiddened in his under-roos on a flight landing in Detroit. It failed. As the philosopher Snoop Dogg would pontificate, there was a fizzle in his schdizzle.

This is the best news coming out of Detroit and Michigan, which has been run into the ground after decades of liberal control and economic policy's, in years. Come to think of it, thank God that the liberal establishment from Michigan wasn't on the flight!

In review, someone with such hatred for the greatest Country in the history of the World, strapped an explosive to his, uh, self, to blow up 200+ passengers. This during the year of our Obama? Hope and change? I was reminded of the following:


“I truly believe that the day I’m inaugurated, that not only does the country look at itself differently, but the world looks at America differently. If I’m reaching out to the Muslim world, they understand that I’ve lived in a Muslim country and I may be a Christian, but I also can understand their point of view.

“The world will have confidence that I am listening to them, and that our future and our security is tied up with our ability to work with other countries in the world. That will ultimately make us safer. And that’s something that this administration (Bush/Cheney) has failed to understand.” B. Obama Nov. 21, 2007, New Hampshire Public Radio.

So finally, three days after the incident, they interrupt Barry's Surf & Turf vacation for him to make a statement. No word if the clickty-clack of his golf shoes were a distraction for those assembled.

The words Barry used in his press conference go hand in hand with this November 2007 quote. In describing this failed terrorist attack on the homeland he spoke of alleged, suspect, criminal, and charged. At least he is consistent.

That's the background. Uncle Bob's Take?

Surprisingly, I agree w/the Barry's November 2007 statement. The World, the Muslim World, all are listening to what he says. And they are rubbing their hands together in glee.

I as Muslim extremist could take the battle to Iraq or Afghanistan and if I fail I could be killed or captured. OR I can goto the homeland and if I fail, Barney Frank, er Fife, will be their to read me my rights, send me to the detention facility in downstate Illinois (per the geographically challenged Dick Durbin), get me lawyered-up, plead insanity, do 20 easy. Before if I would have been captured on the homeland, I could have been subjected to Dick Cheney sticking bamboo shoots up my fingernails, trying to drown me, or worse, taking me quail hunting w/my lawyer.

And not because this is Cheney's hobbies. I presume. But rather to find out information on where this dude got his training, who he knows, what else might be coming, etc. And if it is just for giggles to "torture" these guys, count Uncle Bob as giggly. What Barry and the liberals don't get is these extremist are serious about killing as many of us as they can and no "good will" of closing Gitmo or righteous talk of "I’m reaching out to the Muslim world, they understand that I’ve lived in a Muslim country and I may be a Christian, but I also can understand their point of view." makes a diffence to these killers.

Yes we have found our hope and change.

Oh and the opportunity for conversion while in the can!! Ever roll your eyes about the hardened career criminal/murderer who finds God in prison? What about the virtues of Islam? and 72 virgins?

Oh, and for the younger Uncle Bob followers this picture is not of Barry and the Underwear Bomber. It's of the previous worst President in American history, Jimmy Carter. What is it with the Democrat party and NUTS??? A peanut farmer and a former ACORN activist?

You can feel safe America as this will not be the only response we will see in the name of protecting ourselves.

Nope, we can certainly expect that the next time Uncle Bob travels that his bag will be more closely looked at. Yours as well.

Hope and Change Uncle Bob can Believe In

The Unofficial Theme Song for Unlce Bob's Take.

At Least Barry Didn't Bow...

Uncle Bob missed THE take on the White House crasher story.

Everyone by now knows the story of Michaele & Tareq Salahi, wannabe reality show stars showing up at the State Dinner last week with out an invitation.

Original photo's showed the couple with the Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel and V.P. Biden. Then this photo appeared. Uncle Bob missed this obvious take.

After Bambi's trip around Asia and his bowing to the Empreror of Japan, which followed a bow to the Saudi King earlier this year, Dennis Miller tongiht had the take:

At least Barry didn't bow to the Salahi's. The one good point coming out of this story.

Uncle Bob is sorry he didn't come up w/this orignal Take, but gives the credit to Mr. Miller. Uncle Bob will work harder.

Global Warming Stalls...The Oprah Hardest Hit???

Reader's of Uncle Bob's Take have surely gotten the message that Uncle Bob does not believe in Global Warming. Or should Bob say, that Man is creating any warming. Uncle Bob believes in a power higher than Algore. GOD. I do not believe that we have the capability to destroy this great Planet. The Earth was here long before the Human Race and I'm quite certain will out last Man. So to believe that we are warming the Earth w/our SUV's and our coal-fired plants, etc is just beyond the pale.

Global warming is one of those issues that you can cite all the statistics in the world. Uncle Bob believes the push for Global Warming legislation is just more control coming from D.C. And if they had a track record of success, maybe Uncle Bob would forgo his GOD and turn to Algore.

Uncle Bob's Take has long been of the opinion that if the Earth is warming, what's the big deal. Few more day's for Uncle Bob to work on his tan. And if indeed the Earth was warming, maybe The Oprah would still have a job in a couple of years.

What???? Global warming has The Oprah headed to the unemployment ranks w/the other 17.5% of Americans? Well, not necessarily unemployed...but read the following:

The Oprah announced live on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" last week that she has decided to end what is arguably one of the most popular, influential and enduring programs in television history. The sun will set on the "Oprah" show as its 25th season draws to a close on September 9, 2011. She's now privately talking about hosting a show "that's smaller and different" on the Discovery Communications start-up OWN, aka the Oprah Winfrey Network. And she explained to insiders, "Why would anybody stay in Chicago? It's freezing here, and I have a mansion in Montecito that I haven't been able to enjoy."

I know alot of people love The Oprah. So Uncle Bob wants to cite where he gets his information, especially when speaking of "insiders". www.deadline.com and wsj.com.

So just maybe if there was really Global Warming, The Oprah would still be going strong.

Finally, Uncle Bob's Take on The Oprah. She is extremely talented and has made a fortune using her gift. And good for her. Uncle Bob is just concerned about that percentage of her fans that are sad sacks and now have no one to tell them what to do, what to read, and ahem, whom to vote for. Modesty aside, I have two words: Uncle Bob.

Dick Durbin...DumbA...

Anyone here in the Central/Southern Illinois area has long felt the shaft of Chicago in our politics. Nothing, you see, is South of I-80. Uncle Bob will go on vacation, be asked from where he hails. Simple reply of Illinois is enough to generate, Chicago?

"No" Bob will reply. Central Illinois. I'm closer to a Kentucky still than I am The Oprah (proud of it too).

A perfect example of this contempt for everything South of I-80 was displayed just this week in the Wall Street Journal, by none other than our embarrassment of a U.S. Senator than Dick Durbin.

The following is an outtake from Monday's Journal re: bringing terrorist, enemy combatants, non-citizens, to a prison here in Illinois. Uncle Bob could blog all day long about the insanity of awarding Constitutional rights to our enemy's. Do we want to win the war on Terror or not?? Anyway, w/o further adieu, Senator Durbin:

The idea of using the Thomson Correctional Center, 150 miles west of Chicago, has the support of some local elected officials, including Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate. But people in Thomson, a town of roughly 500 people bordering the Mississippi River, said that while they welcome the economic lift, they worry about the possible effect from people visiting the detainees. ”

"This is an opportunity to dramatically reduce unemployment, create thousands of good-paying jobs and breathe new economic life into this part of downstate Illinois," Mr. Durbin said. "We should not let the unsupported and misplaced fears of a few stand in the way of this historic economic boost to our region."

I ask that you view the map Uncle Bob has provided. Uncle Bob's take? Senator Durbin is not in touch w/his own State, let alone this Great Country and further more I must question his education.
