What goes around

Obama needled one questioner who asked about gas prices, now averaging close to $3.70 a gallon nationwide, and suggested that the gentleman consider getting rid of his gas-guzzling vehicle.

“If you’re complaining about the price of gas and you’re only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know,” Obama said laughingly. “You might want to think about a trade-in.”

  1. So not only is the king naked, he has micro-penis syndrome.

    Just the other day I heard Keith Olberman swear that Obama was going to get re-elected in 2012; clue resistant comes close to describing him, but he seems more willfully obdurant to me. When a man is the target of ridicule and derisive laughter, he has lost the field and would be better off quietly retiring to some obscure corner of the field, where hopefully people will take pity on him and leave him home.

    It’s one thing to be the butt of jokes, for you can always turn the humor to your advantage. It’s quite another to be the target of derisive laughter, for that is an attack on your character and your abilities. When the world’s pundits discuss just when Barack Obama lost in the 2012 election, they can point to May 23rd, 2011 and the incident of the stranded limo. For that serves as an example of his klutziness and basic incompetence. I know he’s not responsible for the act itself, but it is emblematic of other deeds perpetuated by Obama himself.

    A simple mistake, leading to bigger consequences, can the president survive the fallout? I, for one, doubt it. Remember this day, the day Barack Obama’s presidency died in a limo stuck as it drove out an Irish parking lot.

    Barry’s “killer rabbit” moment?

    Yeah, Hussein, we DO want to think about a trade in. We’ve been thinking about it for 2 1/2 years now…
