The only things worse than Obama’s economy are the jokes

Obama’s economy is so bad that…

…I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

…When I ordered a burger at McDonald’s and the kid behind the counter asked, “Can you afford fries with that?”

…CEO’s are now playing miniature golf.

…If the bank returns your check marked “Insufficient Funds,” you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

…Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

…McDonald’s is now selling the 1/4 ouncer.

…Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children’s names.

…A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.

…Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

…Motel Six won’t leave the light on anymore.

…The Mafia is laying off judges and Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

And, finally…

…I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy that I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan. When I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

  • Priceless ! No more trucks for Americans. The disconnect is so deep he Stupidly says "anyone can buy a truck". The reality is Mr. President, many Americans had to sell their trucks to survive, but ty for your view, it helped us elect Scott.

  • LOL, thank you. Those are great oneliners!

    IHTM is getting better by the day!
    (Despite my criticism a couple months ago re: the timeliness of posts, I do browse your page just about every day. I have noticed a marked improvement in that regard. Originality and freshness-of-news are getting higher marks than before, on my completely arbitrary and utterly imagined scorecard.)

    "Can you afford fries with that?" LOL!!!
