Help me find a metaphor.

[xavier fremboe]

I have been trying to come up with a metaphor for Obama's total spin/misread of the midterm results. I believe the last two I read either blamed the electorate for not understanding all that dear leader had 'accomplished' on our behalf, or that the electorate demanded more CHANGE^TM
The current spin seems to be that the ad campaign for CHANGE^TM has gone off message. Americans actually want more CHANGE^TM, but are unaware that it is there for the asking.

We are obviously too stupid to recognize what's good for us.

So, in search of truth, I submit to APS:

In the form of a breakup line. Sum up the midterms for our president, who seems to not get the message that we would like to start seeing different presidents who might currently be involved in a guberntorial relationship. I'll start.

"It's not us. It's you."

"No means no."  

[RoadKingLarry]

Were you born stupid or have you had to work at it all your life?

We got the message, did you get ours?

What part of "NO" do you not understand?

This is the normal response to having something noxious rammed down your throat  .

I seriously wonder if he thinks we suffer from dain bramage.
Obviously from the election results, we don't, he do.
And besides, I don't suffer from it, I enjoy every moment of it.

He missunderstood Republican bumbling as a mandate for Democrat stumbling.

"It's not us. It's you."

At first I thought you were attributing this to Obama.  As in: "It's not us (democrat politicians), it's you (the electorate)."

It does seem consistent with what he's been saying.

Humpty Dumpty looked doubtful. ‘I’d rather see that done on paper,’ he said.

Alice couldn’t help smiling as she took out her memorandum-book, and worked the sum for him:

Humpty Dumpty took the book, and looked at it carefully. ‘That seems to be done right –’ he began.

‘You’re holding it upside down!’ Alice interrupted.

‘To be sure I was!’ Humpty Dumpty said gaily, as she turned it round for him. ‘I thought it looked a little queer. As I was saying, that SEEMS to be done right – though I haven’t time to look it over thoroughly just now – and that shows that there are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents –’

‘Certainly,’ said Alice.

‘And only ONE for birthday presents, you know. There’s glory for you!’

‘I don’t know what you mean by “glory,”‘ Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. ‘Of course you don’t—till I tell you. I meant “there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!”‘

‘But “glory” doesn’t mean “a nice knock-down argument,”‘ Alice objected.

You can borrow one I cooked up the other day for someone else, but haven't had a chance to use yet.

Obama and the Left claiming they got their clock cleaned in the midterms because we "didn't get their message clearly enough"....

Is like a drunk guy moving in to kiss a girl and she pulls away, so he decides he should grab the back of her head and plant one on her, then she'll realize likes it.

I'm trying to put something together with left-brain thinking and leftist thinking versus right-wing thinking but I can't make it "gel" into something snappy.

 My right brain isn't working right correctly, I guess.

I dunno.  Maybe it's something to fiddle play with.

But I think it's too abstract.  'Specially for "him."

REF:

http://painting.about.com/od/rightleftbrain/a/Right_Brain.htm

The concept of right brain and left brain thinking developed from the research in the late 1960s of an American psychobiologist Roger W Sperry. He discovered that the human brain has two very different ways of thinking. One (the right brain) is visual and processes information in an intuitive and simultaneous way, looking first at the whole picture then the details. The other (the left brain) is verbal and processes information in an analytical and sequential way, looking first at the pieces then putting them together to get the whole. Sperry was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1981, although subsequent research has show things aren't quite as polarized as once thought (nor as simple).

Best "finished" line I can come up with right now is

Yeah, and your handlers didn't understand us.

Don Quixote actually had honest good intentions. Not so sure about Obama.

Both suffer delusions of grandeur.

Actually Obama seems like he operates from the same owners manual of Bagdad Bob.
