The amazing story that didn’t happen

The amazing story that didn’t happen. In the midst of his embarrassing and unpopular three-day campaign trip to Iowa, as President Obama’s bus was waddling out of Marshalltown, there was a little girl with a lemonade stand by the side of the road. He didn’t stop.

  • He was just making a statement.
    He wont support any business too small to hide donations to his campaign

  • I predict:

    Later this week, we will see Chairman Obamao "spontaneously" stop at a lemonade stand just outside of some cowtown he has stumped at with a cute little girl offering up the goodies. The media will go insane over how kind he was with the little girl - what a normal, regular guy he is. Later that afternoon, the new media will be buzzing with the fact that the little girl just happens to be the daughter of his biggest contributor in the state, and actually lives 20 miles away, but was chauffeured there for the gig. The old media will ignore this small inconsistency. They will also ignore the fact that Obama counted his change from the child.

      • RIGHT! I totally wasn't thinking that through. The little girl might just tell him that it's on the house, since he is such an important man, and is doing SO much to secure her future. She should probably say that in words much too big from her tiny size, so she looks more precocious (ie: scripted by Obama's lead team.)

      • Did you notice he only bought SOME people beer at the beer tent? The man is a millionaire, there were only about 40 people present total, and he says, "How about I buy 10 people a beer?" Then he excluded the poor lady with the Romney sign. If he had a brain, he would buy the Romney lady a beer and have a conversation with her. THAT would be cool.

        • Haha! He is terrified at the prospect of speaking with average people who don't lock-step with him, especially if he doesn't have his teleprompter. Remember Joe the Plumber?

        • yup, and I also remember that time he had lunch with some military guys then walked out and left them with the tab.

  • It crossed ol barry’s mind to stop the bus and ask the young interrupter for her fair share of the taxes owed. That way she would feel like she should.

  • If I had a Lemonade stand and that bastard tried to stop by, it might be yellow, but it won't be lemonade in the glass.

  • If she didn't have a license from the city she needs to be shut down immediately and all assets seized. BHO

  • Well heckfire Uncle Jed, you don’t expect Sock Puppet to support a non-union business, do you?

    No, but they can expect an I.R.S. audit real soon.

  • At least he didn't run them over with the bus, although that would have been entirely justified since the kids hadn't built it themselves, and the major problem facing the country today is unlicensed lemonade stands.
