Obama: “You can’t change Washington from the inside”

Obama: “You can’t change Washington from the inside.” Journ0List member Ben Smith calls it “perhaps Obama’s worst gaffe since he met Joe the Plumber.” So is his new slogan “Can’t Change You Can Believe In”? Mitt doesn’t buy it: “We’ll give Obama chance to change Washington FROM THE OUTSIDE in November!”

    FIFTY YEAR OLD MANURE SPREADER - $1 (WASHINGTON, DC)

    Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked hard. Apparently, it was pampered by various owners over the years. It doesn't work very often, but when it does it can sling shit for amazing distances. I am hoping to retire the manure spreader this November. I really don't want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer to relocate the manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade it for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution.
    Location: Currently being stored in a big white house in Washington, D.C.

  • About the only thing "Dear Leader" has learned is you can get filthy rich by reading lies off a teleprompter.

  • So...i that like coded Marxist dog-whistle for "Start the Revolution"?

    "There's something in the air
    Let's all get it together
    'Cause the revolution's here."

  • Let's give O'Bamster the opportunity to change DC from the outside in November...way, way outside...like Saudia Arabia, or Kenya outside!!
