While campaigning in Ohio today, President Barack Obama faced what he characterized as a tough question: “What’s your favorite Girl Scout cookie?”
The two-word answer the president sought, fumbled and ultimately failed to find: Thin Mints. Which are delicious and enjoy second place (behind Samoas) in a popularity poll on the Girl Scouts’ web site. But they could face a municipal or federal limit because they taste good and people not named Mike Bloomberg or Michelle Obama like them.
Is the president’s floundering for a few seconds a big deal? No. But if Mitt Romney had fumbled around for the name of his favorite cookie, you can bet that Andrea Mitchell and NBC’s editors would have turned it into Son of WaWa: The Great Girl Scout Cookie Conspiracy.
Despite the fact that Girl Scout cookies are yummy, they should leave a sour taste: The Girl Scouts USA support Planned Parenthood.
Update: Scripps Local played gatekeeper and pulled the video. A Washington Post blogger covered the exchange, but didn’t quite capture the momentary fumbling.
– heh heh
Girl Scouts not offering a Michelle-style bag of solar-baked zucchini chips?
That’s the way it goes for pathological liars. They need to measure every single word against the false narrative they have created, therefore even simple questions require deep thought and lots of pauses.
Oatmeal? Did he say oatmeal? Although I’m pretty sure Do-si-dos contain oats, in all my 2 sisters’ years of selling GS cookies, I don’t remember any of them ever being referred to as ‘oatmeal’ cookies. Moreover, Do-si-dos are sold as being mainly peanut butter flavored, not oatmeal.
Well, he’s right about one thing: for him, ‘What’s your favorite GS cookie’ IS a tough question.
Thin Mints is a lie.
Any answer he gave would have been a lie. He can’t not lie.
“Thin Mints” was actually an accurate description of the First Gay President’s demeanor.
Thin Mints aren’t necessarily only for gays.. but I can say it is certainly a cookie for stoners..
The same cookies can be had for less money at dollar general!
Scripps Local news has blocked the YouTube video.
Girl Scout cookies support Planned Parenthood? Awww, heck. Guess I’ve bought my last box ever. Shoot. Can’t trust anyone anymore.
” The Girl Scouts USA support Planned Parenthood.”
Well, if you want folks to kill things you have to desensitize them early…
So you stand in line all day, finally work your way to the microphone, and the best question you have is “What is your favorite Girl Scout cookie?”
I know the questioners are all plants by the campaign, but doesn’t anyone have the guts to ignore the campaign staff, and possible arrest by the Secret Service, and ask the Prez a real question?
Planted questions are the point of this whole article. Obama’s crew wanted Girl Scouts to lob a cutesy question to represent his appeal to youth and GSUSA needs cookie promotion and image damage control now that people are waking up to the fact that BOTH Obama and Girl Scouts have a history of promoting Planned Parenthood, socialism and the gay-lesbian agenda.

So, what happened, someone forgot to brief the President on what the answer should be? I am confused… how could this happen? Clearly, we need a graph showing what percentage of fault for this travesty is owed to Bush.
I’ll bet if there was a GS cookie called the “George Bush” or the “Bain Capital”, the Prez would have had a ready answer.
