The Emperor has no clothes….if those over the pond can see Obione naked, why not the rank and file Dems….or is this really what they want for the USA?
He wanted to "move around" Joe the Plumber's money, too.
Well Obutthead is just trying to have the rest of America do what he has been doing for 3 years, producing poop and redistributing it.
what a douchebag!
A friend sent me this today: "Queens Riddle"
Barack Obama met with the Queen of England.
He asked her, "Your Majesty,how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give me?"
"Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Obama frowned, and then asked "But how do I know the people around are really intelligent?"
The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle."
The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walked into the room and said "Yes, Your Majesty?"
The Queeen smiled and said, "Answer me this please, Tony, your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, "That would be me."
"Yes! Very good'" said the Queen.
Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden the same question. "Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and father have a child. It's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one." He went to his advisors and asked everyone, but none could give him an answer.
Finally, Biden ran into Sarah Palin out eating one night. Biden asked "Sarah, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Sarah Palin answered right back, "That's easy, it's me!"
Biden smiled and said, "Thanks!" Then he went back to speak with Obama. "Say. I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Sarah Palin!"
Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face, "No! You idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Nice! I seem to recall Jethro Bodine getting flummoxed by this too, so little wonder Dear Leader couldn't work it out.
Hey that reminds me, one of our happy band has a Jethro avatar and I haven't seen it lately. He gone, or just a new pitcher?
He's been MIA for months.
Too bad. I enjoyed his posts.
He is posting over on Poison's website: therightplanet.com
I've tried to get them both to come back and post but they both say that they still come by and "lurk" but won't post even though they have been tempted. But no one can make someone do what they don't wish to do.
That's kind of odd and hate when I can't figure a plausible reason. I mean did somebody (besides the usual) insult them, threaten their dog, what? BTW drb, did Robert ever guess your name? Some of his answers crack me up.
No, neither were insulted. I think they just realized that there was no point in "debating" with some. I guess they just got tired of circular arguements. Only they can say for sure, but that is the gist of how I understood it.
Robert guessed my first name but was still working on the rest. Now, he will be out for a while as he recovers from his surgery. Maybe he will resume when he comes back, maybe not. He's funny...Repunzel...Why do I feel like Rumplestiltskin? :P
Damn, that's right, the 27th, Godspeed again RW. He got the first name? Do I have to guess his guess, beg him when he gets back, what? ;)
You could do some research over on the 3 inch nail thread for some clues ;)
lol, my current avi is a clue too
reading minds...you are not the first to suspect that ;)
Always suspected you read minds too, that's what I was fishing for, Oh look a clue. Kinda like Robert's "when you eliminate the impossible..." approach.
I will be telling that one at the bar tonight!
ROFL!!!!
May i post this to my fb later? Its too funny not to share!
Help yourself, Babydoll--that's why I put it here. Too good not to share!
Well and truly stolen here too Guy, well played.
On my FB page. Thanks, Guy.
PoppaJoe sent this to me and since it isn't here I will put it up.

I stopped by the Chevrolet Dealership yesterday, for a look at the new Silverado 1500 pickup. Just for fun, I took it out for a test drive.
The salesperson (who wore an Obama "change" lapel pin) sat in the passenger seat describing the truck and all its "wonderful" options.
He explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat.
When I suggested that this must be a Republican truck, he became a little agitated and asked asked why I would think it was a Republican truck.
I explained that if it were an Obama truck, the seats would blow smoke up your ass year-round.
I had to walk back to the dealership. Apparently the guy had no sense of humor.
Outstanding!
So far the only thing "Dear Leader" and his pals have produced and spread around is a massive amount of bovine excrescent.
“where we’re making stuff and selling stuff and moving it around.”
Then all we need to do is put our wallets in our pockets and all do the hokey-pokey, and wiggle it about.
Sadly, that is about the level of economic understanding of this and pretty much of every other idiot inside the Beltway (regardless of whether there is an R or a D after their name). According to their simpleton level economics, if we all pay each other ten bucks for every time we smile at each other, it will solve all the economic problems in this country (that is another way of expressing the "broken window theory").
Moving money around is not the way to create a growing economy. The way to grow the economy is to create wealth. And the best way to create wealth is to get the idiots who have the power to write law and have access to many guns with which to enforce their laws the hell out of the way. It has to be done because the only thing they can ever do is screw it up.
As in "the ONLY thing".
Meaning that no matter what they do, and whatever they claim, everything they do will have but one effect - fucking up the economy. It's what they do. They're hard-wired to do that. It's in their DNA. Unfortunately, so are incredibly huge egos that will never let them see the true results of their actions.
Does baking bread meet his criteria? Or maybe even numb nuts?
The only 'STUFF' I've seen Obama making and moving around is coming right out of his turd maker, but the LIBERALS will buy it.
Sounds like a shell game to me, where the hand is quicker than the eye.

It’s time to whatever and get off the pot.
