The idea is simple. Tweet using #ObamaCareCaptionContest and fill in the blanks: “It only took 15 minutes to pass ObamaCare, BUT _______________ .” If you prefer, you can submit on Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy’s Facebook page.
As you wish:
“It only took 15 minutes to pass ObamaCare, BUT… wait… that was MY 15 minutes. DAMMIT! Now I’ll NEVER be famous!”
During an interview on CBS, President Obama said, “Washington feels as broken as it did four years ago.”
Oh… you mean back when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress?

If you did, you should probably email him about becoming a guest blogger there.
If you didn’t, he’s got another straight line for you to practice on.
Keep trying. No one likes a quitter.

Now, some folks are dinging the President because, in response to people fainting at his rally, he said “call a paralegal” before correcting himself.
But, credit where it’s due, he DID correct himself.
However, in 2007, after a tornado in Kansas killed 12 people, he said there were “10,000 dead.”
He didn’t correct himself:

But there’s two more things to notice in this clip. First, the guy behind Obama on the stage, nodding gravely as Obama tosses out the 10,000 number, when he SHOULD have had a WTF look on his face.
Where’s Joe Wilson when you need him?
The other thing…
What the hell is up with Obama’s “I Have a Dream” accent & cadence? It’s like MLK Impression Night at the Improv.
The man is a cheap huckster, a shill, a carnival barker. He should be selling tickets to a tent containing a jar holding a two-headed pig fetus that’s labeled “Space Alien”.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.
IMAO is getting his with literal Obamabots. Look at this comment to a recent post:
Bane says:
I think Romney’s tenure at Bain & Company and Bain Capital is a weakness because it associates him with vulture capitalism even though some in the media try to cast it as a strength. Come November more and more people will realize that buying companies, raiding their pension funds, and offshoring their operations is not a good background from a head of state. By the way, the summer movie season and specifically the Dark Knight Rises should help. I came across this website and thought it was funny. It says that Romney may be the Bane of Existence using a pun involving the villain Bane and Bain Capital.
I know what you’re thinking: “How could you tell this was a bot when the comment sounds so natural?”
Yeah, really. I especially love how at the end he explicitly explains the Bain/Bane pun since someone who might vote for Obama would probably be dumb enough to be confused by that.
Still, this Bane thing is kind of risky for Obama to cling to. For one, the different spellings does make it a little awkward in a written parody. Also, apparently Bane in the movie is not some corporate guy trying to get rich but instead someone stirring up class warfare and hatred of the rich. Doesn’t that remind you a lot more of Obama?
Finally, between Obama and Romney, who is more likely to be Batman? Doesn’t Romney just fit the profile of someone so bored by his riches that at night he dresses up as a bat and punches poor people?
Obama: “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help.”
No. They didn’t “help” me.
They traded with me. Cash for goods & services.
Ditto your precious roads & bridges & internet, although getting taxes taken out of my hide wasn’t exactly VOLUNTARY.
Still, a transaction in not the same as charity. Don’t use language that conflates them.
Obama wants you to know that if you’re rich and successful, it’s not because you’re smart and hard working, it’s because government helped you out. So why isn’t government helping me be rich? What is it with Obama and his lazy stupid government making so few people rich these days? I pay my taxes; make me rich, Obama.
I’m waiting.
Oh! I got something from Obama in the mail! I bet it’s about making me rich…
No. It’s just food stamps.
There are a lot of lies out there about President Obama, so Obama has formed a “Truth Team” to go out there and meet all the lies with truths. Here are some of the allegations against Obama and the truths that refute them.
ALLEGATION: Under Obama, there have been 41 months of unemployment over 8%.
TRUTH: Romney has some connections to companies that did outsourcing.
ALLEGATION: The only way unemployment is as low as 8.2% is by giving Obama credit for all the people who gave up looking for work. Otherwise it’s more like 11%.
TRUTH: We believe Romney worked at Bain longer than he said he did, though we can’t quite prove it.
ALLEGATION: Obama skyrocketed the debt with his “stimulus” and other plans but has little to show for it.
TRUTH: Romney is very rich and can buy things you can’t afford, so you shouldn’t like him.
ALLEGATION: Obama forced an unpopular health care bill on America that the Supreme Court ruled is a massive tax.
TRUTH: Romney allegedly gave some guy a haircut in high school.
ALLEGATION: Under Obama’s watch, the Department of Justice sold guns to Mexican drug cartels, and the guns were then used in hundreds of murders.
TRUTH: Romney won’t release all the tax returns we’ve asked for.
ALLEGATION: Obama lost half a billion dollars of your money investing in Solyndra.
TRUTH: Romney once tied a dog to his roof.
So go out there and fight the lies with the truth!
McCain needed Palin to excite the base. After four years of Obama, Romney doesn’t need anything for that.
“And now for my running mate: Generic Republican! …I mean, Tim Pawlenty!”
Pawlenty would be a nice, non-descript choice. He’d be the Ann Veal of running mates.
Jindal seems like a good compromise between boring and exciting. He seems exciting (he’s a minority!) while he is actually very boring.
After four years of Obama, boring and competent should win the race.
I notice their are tiers to minorities. Democrats pander to blacks and Hispanics because they have voting blocks, but for Indians, who cares.
They like minorities, just not really small minorities where they wouldn’t get a lot of votes out of pandering.
Someone put a negative review of the new Dark Knight movie on Rotten Tomatoes. Stone him!
So is the Dark Knight Rises about Batman punching OWS hippies, because that would be awesome.
Did I punctuate that right? I don’t know what you do when the first half of a sentence is a question but the second half is a statement.
Sorry to hear the author of Encyclopedia Brown died, but his character was already replaced with “Access to Smartphone” Brown.
Obama: “When you get a 100% on a spelling test, I should get the gold star.”
Am I hearing this right that Rush Limbaugh said something negative about Obama?
Where would you be without all the bureaucrats you met along the way? Probably much more successful and less irritated.
Sorry to hear about Stephen Covey. I’m actually in the middle of reading The 8th Habit
The term life insurance is going to be even cheaper than originally quoted. They’re betting big I’m not going to die in the next 20 years.
There’s a lot that can go wrong in life, but it’s good to know statisticians are pretty certain I’ll be okay.
The only attack on Romney that would definitely stick would be to prove he was running the country from 2009-2012.
I won’t know what to think of this Law-of-Sea Treaty until Chareth Cutestory reviews it.
Obama doesn’t hate this country. It definitely makes his top twenty.
Isn’t Obama to blame for letting Bush continue to run loose and ruin our economy?
