Link of the Day: Why a Gravy Boat Is Better Than Obama

Posted by on

Obama Is Asking For Your Wedding Gifts

Excerpt:

* A gravy boat is a useful tool that gives back to you at meal time. An Obama takes from you at meal time, at bed time, at school, at work, at play, and while traveling, or just being at home. It takes, and takes. It takes from the rich, and it takes from the poor, but only tells you it’s taking from the rich.

10 Reasons Why Jimmy Carter Was More Kick-Ass Than President Obama

Posted by on

Full disclosure: I had a paper route during the Carter years, and when I got bored, I read the headlines. So I remember Jimmy’s term in office better than most people my age, because those headlines were bleak and terrifying, and left scars.

So when I read that Carter was busting Obama’s chops over using drones to kill terrorists – one of the few things Obama’s done right in office – I wanted to bash Mr. Peanut right in the monocle.

But then I thought about it & decided to let it slide because I realized that – big picture – Carter was actually a better President than Obama:
______________

Jimmy Carter told us to turn the thermostat down. Obama told us to spread the wealth around.

1) Jimmy Carter lusted after women in his heart. The women Obama lusted after were composites.

2) Jimmy Carter successfully fought off a rabbit, which is several rungs up the evolutionary ladder from any fly Obama managed to beat up.

3) Jimmy Carter’s ineptitude brought us the greatest President of the 20th century, Ronald Reagan. From Obama’s ineptitude, we MIGHT get the greatest President of the 21st century who was named after a piece of baseball equipment.

4) Jimmy Carter let the Shah of Iran into the US for medical treatment, because the Shah was, so to speak, “our bastard“. Obama wants you to pay for Sandra Fluke’s contraception so that she doesn’t have any bastards.

5) Jimmy Carter grew peanuts on a farm. Obama grew mortgages underwater.

6) Jimmy Carter gave all the land around the Panama Canal to the people of Panama. Obama gave all the land north of the Rio Grande to the people of Mexico.

7) Jimmy Carter gave the Russians the horrifying threat of nuclear armageddon. Obama gave the Russians a misspelled red plastic novelty button.

8) As a boy, Jimmy Carter loved his dog, Bozo. As a boy, Obama loved his dog al dente.

9) Jimmy Carter had a brother, who successfully launched his own brand of beer. Obama had a beer summit. Oh, brother.

10) Jimmy Carter asked the Secret Service to keep his brother away. Obama asked the Secret Service to keep away from brothels.

And, of course, the Navy honored Jimmy Carter by naming a submarine after him. Obama honored the Navy by stealing credit after the SEALs got bin Laden.

Idea to Get More Attendance at the DNC

Posted by on

More and more Democrats are abandoning the Democrat National Convention — the latest to announce is Senator Claire McCaskill — to the point they’re moving it to a smaller venue. Eventually it will just be Obama and maybe Biden attending, which will look bad for him. Here’s an idea to get more to attend: Have a president dunking booth. Then, based on what politicians think will be more politically beneficial, some can get a photo of them shaking hands with Obama while others can instead get a photo of sending Obama plunging into a pool of cold water.

Obama better be prepared to get very wet.

Whiner in Chief: Me So Poor Edition

Posted by on

So Obama is sending out emails and tweeting that “I will be the first president in modern history to be outspent in his re-election campaign.” To which my first reaction was “Have you tried whining about it?”

I hear Obama outspent McCain 3 to 1, but I never complained about that. It’s not like if Obama could afford one more commercial was it going to be enough to convince me to vote for that know-nothing. Of course, there was a lot of enthusiasm behind Obama then as there was no reality to dampen it, but we’ve had three and a half years of seeing what Obama is actually like in charge so it’s no wonder people aren’t as enthusiastic to shower him with money. It’s like a guy came into my house and started punching me in the face and then said, “I’ll punch you in the face some more for $100.” And I’d be like, “No, I’m not giving you money for that.” But if then someone else came up and said, “For $100, I’ll take that guy who was punching you in the face and throw him out on the street and kick him a few times.” I’d be like, “Yeah! Sure! Here’s a $100. And here’s a $50 tip on top of that.” And that’s why Romney is raising so much money; it’s not that people like Romney so much as they really don’t like that guy punching them in the face and they want to see that guy suffer.

So, if Obama doesn’t like getting outspent, he could try not sucking so much so people might consider supporting. But that’s too hard and whining is easy.
