Yes We Can, But…

Posted on October 29, 2010 1:03 pm

When President Obama was on the Daily Show, he modified his famous phrase to, “Yes we can, but…” So what are the possible endings to it? Here are some ideas:

YES WE CAN, BUT…

…it sounds hard.

…it would require competent leadership.

…Republicans stole my Slurpee.

…I’d rather focus on liberal agenda stuff you don’t care about right now like health care.

…I kind of don’t like this country.

…it is forbidden by the Koran.

…then I couldn’t play as much golf.

…then I might lose my best friend, Bill Ayers.

…it’s just not how we do things in my hometown of Kenya.

…it might make foreign leaders so mad they won’t let me bow to them.

…it’s better the car stay in the ditch until we get a hybrid.

…I’m president.
