One is full of paper & paste instead of sh*t. Actually the real difference is that the cutout is incapable of turning its head from side to side to face the two teleprompters.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:27 am
Well cardboard is recyclable, just like his smile. But as for a difference, well the cutout never keeps on talking and talking about the same non-sensible crap without actually saying anything.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:28 am
HAHAHA wow that was funny. I was going to say there is none they are both created by someone else.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:33 am
It’s no laughing matter
As I wrote perhaps presciently last October in Obama unmasked:
“We and the immediate blogosphere made note of Barack Obama’s ‘creepy, smirky smile’ that transmogrified his human face into ‘a bizarre theatrical comedy mask’ every time John McCain mentioned an inconvenient truth about his opponent’s words or deeds during last night’s debate. Above left, the mask emerges in full at McCain’s evocation of ‘Acorn.’”
Creepy, crawly.

One can’t lie.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:40 am
The cutout is less dangerous to the Constitution.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:40 am
The real one is nicely tanned and the cutout is some white guy.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:41 am
Even if it had been cut out of the Constitution.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:54 am
The cut out has more substance.
The worse the cut out can do is give you a paper cut.
One is two-dimensional and the other is made of cardboard.
September 26th, 2009 at 10:18 am
One is made from recycled waste products, and so is the other.
September 26th, 2009 at 10:22 am
His ears are smaller on the cutout..or is that the real one?
I can’t tell but ones ears are smaller
September 26th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Cardboard cutouts can’t read a teleprompter.
September 26th, 2009 at 10:47 am
Cardboard cutouts can’t single-handedly ruin the economy.
September 26th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Paper or plastic?
September 26th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
The Real O-bah-muhh has George Soros’ tentacle up his back, wrapped around his brain stem. When Barack is supposed to give his consistant sh*teating grin, Soros causes Dopey-mine production to dump into Barack’s pleasure center,
,causing the now famously consistant sh*teating grin. 
September 26th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Thanks for clearing that up for me! Now I can clearly see that…uh…the one on the…aw hell, I still don’t know the difference.
September 26th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
The cardboard cutout is better qualified to be president. But they’re both pretty much two dimensional.
September 26th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
One doesn’t hate America. The other is the President.
September 26th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
One of them is single handedly destroying capitalism and the other would make a great gag gift on america. You decide which is which
September 26th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Simple, the cutout has more depth
September 26th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Who the hell made a life size cardboard cutout of Obama? Harvey, is that sitting in your living room? Do you throw darts at it or something?
September 26th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
The cardboard cutout doesn’t change positions on issues as often.
September 26th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
I want a life size two dimensional cutout like that for target practice! And I’ll take the one on the right, too.
September 26th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Lets see the cardboard Obozo can’t destroy America with his commie agenda. The real life Obazo can. The cardboard cutout Obama doesn’t make lame speeches everyday. The real Obama does. The cardboard cutout doesn’t refere to himself every 13 seconds in the lame speeches. The real Obama does. The cardboard Obama can at least stand up to Iran. The real Obama won’t.
September 26th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Which one is the cardboard cutout again? I can’t really see a difference, but then I’m old, female and a conservative.
I’ve been told we’re not very observant.
September 26th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
I’ll solve it for you, seanmahairmama: the one on the right went to Harvard where his accomplishments are as thin as the paper he’s printed on. The one on the left is a Chicago community organizer who’s slicker than dear guts on a doorknob.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Obviously, the cardboard cutout doesn’t stutter.
Cardboard does not lie.
The cutout doesn’t care about deforestation. It does, in fact, owe its existence to lumberjacks.
The cutout better understands the difference between using production and future consumption as indicators of economic success in free markets.
In conclusion, the cutout is more productive by virtue of the fact that it doesn’t continually try to &$%# up the economy.
September 26th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
I’m not sure which one is which, but the one on the left looks totally fake.
September 27th, 2009 at 12:05 am
The cutout is less shallow.
September 27th, 2009 at 6:36 am
Ha ha, you idiots. The most obvious difference is the cardboard cutout casts a shadow. How could you miss that?
Does that mean our President is a vampire?
September 27th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Does that mean our President is a vampire?
Not necessarily; but he does suck.
September 27th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
The difference? About twenty IQ points?
September 27th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
One pretends to understand economic theory?
September 27th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Dearest Jimmy,
You always solve my conundrums. Thank you darlin’ man.
September 28th, 2009 at 2:08 am
One of them is a lifeless, soulless object that will never say anything intelligent no matter how long you wait, and the other one’s made of cardboard.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:59 am
Oh seanmahairmairishgirl. You’re most welcome!
September 28th, 2009 at 11:39 am
The cutout ban be recycled, making it an enviromentalist…
However, the cutout was made by cutting down a rainforest for cardboard…
Which makes it a holier-than-thou moralist willing to abandon principles for personal gain.
Drat, I thought I had a difference there…
September 28th, 2009 at 11:46 am
If you turn them both sideways you can see that thecutout has a tinny winny bit of depth. The other one is an illusion with no depth.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I don’t know…….the cut-out looks more honest.
September 29th, 2009 at 12:04 am
the cardboard cutout cannot lie to you.
in fact it cannot speak at all. (at least not unless it has some fancy electronic device attached…)
September 29th, 2009 at 12:23 am
I was going to say something about ‘the image of the beast’ but I changed my mind.
Instead…
Jeremiah 10:5
“Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
and they cannot speak;
they have to be carried, for they cannot walk.
Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil,
neither is it in them to do good.”

Double post – Oops! Sorry.
September 30th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
The one on the Left does to the economy what Jeffrey Dahmer did to young men…the one on the right is cut from a Cream O Wheat Box!
