Obama letter to unemployed carpenter: “It will probably take another year or two to fully dig our way out of this hole.” Maybe the real problem is we shouldn’t be trying to dig our way out of a friggin’ hole. Duh.

  • 'It will take at least another year or two to dig this hole big and deep enough to hold all the corpses of the people who aren't paying the fair share of everybody else's taxes.' That's what he means, he just couldn't scratch it on paper cuz his brain moves around too fast for his hands to write what he hears in his head.

  • What he was implying is you've stepped in a sh*thole and the dip in there has super glue in it so it may take you a couple years to get free from it. Obama hopes that by then he'll have succeeded in socializing our nation. This is why he keeps begging for another undeserved term.

    • The Troll Patrol has investigated this for you and found that the slightly slow blogger in question is unable to multi-task because she can not cut and paste fast enough. IHTM has overwhelmed her and she may have to take a "mental health" Sabbatical... further updates as they become available.

  • 'Dear Leader" must think that he's digging a new credit line through the center of the Earth to China.

  • It's a trick question right? "digging out of the hole" would mean never getting out, right? GET RID OF THIS GUY...geeeeeez he's dumb. I always said you can't possibly be dumb and rise to the presidency of the United States, I stand now stand corrected.

  • "Alexander Autographs now has his letter and is offering it to the first buyer who bids over $10,000."

    I wish I could afford that, it would make some stylish T.P.

  • someone get this to a handwriting expert to analyze it and determine if he is insane. I wonder what the final outcome will be?????

  • In other words "vote for me and tell your friends in the meantime here is some free stuff you can get on the public dole." Fan-tas-tic! Ugh...
