Have you ever wondered what Bill de Blasio and Barack Obama talk about when they get together? Here are a few hints: Remodeling their homes, and their snazzy name changes!

Cub Run Cave, Cub Run Kentucky
Gracie Mansion in New York City, the official residence of the mayor has been remodeled on the exterior. See the photo here. That, I must say, really detracts from the lines and beauty of Gracie Mansion. You are entitled to your own opinion, but I think the vinyl fence looks like socks on a rooster, and I figured de Blasio or his wife must have a relative in the fencing business.

De Blasio, was formerly identified as Warren Wilhelm, Jr until 1983 when he changed his handle to Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm. It didn’t stop there folks. In 2002, after his divorce from his Wilhelm-self he changed his name to Bill de Blasio. Quite a transformation. I can understand that if he converted to a new religion, say the religion of peace, a name change like that could be in order.  But as far as I know de Blasio only worships socialism. Here’s a thought: Maybe he was channeling Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. ‘Memba him?

Mr. Obama, previously known as Barry Obama/Barry Soetoro/Baracka Soetoro, and finally(???) Barack Hussein Obama; has been contemplating a remodel to the fence surrounding the White House Mansion, the official home of the President. Obviously there are some very good reasons to do this. The small iron fence that circles the White House as it currently stands hasn’t made for a very effective nut screen lately. I wonder why? The facts are the existing fence and the mammoth security structure behind it have kept Presidents secure in the mansion for decades. 



De Blasio and Obama posture themselves as men of the people. Doesn’t this fence building detract from that image? Is de Blasio trying send a hint to the likes of Reverend Sharpton to stay away? Not bloody likely. So is the fence’s purpose to keep the average New Yorker from realizing their mayor does not share in their daily struggles? Perhaps to keep the citizens from seeing their mayor spends lavishly on himself on the city’s dime? Now that is more like it. Perhaps Mr. Obama, a lover of symbolism over substance is eager to have the new fence stand as a symbol his intransigence at compromise with the GOP majority in the Congress? I might be on to something there.

On a lighter note. I'm sure de Blasio and Obama wish they could form a basketball team with a different player using a unique form of each of their former names. Add Michelle Obama as the immoveable force in the center and they could be unbeatable in the AKA older than 50 league.
