Since the Great Debate, our Beloved Leader’s reelection campaign has been caught in a death-spiral of doom, reflected in this respected Pew Poll showing a 12- point swing to Romney among likely voters.
Finally, my faith in the wisdom of the American people is starting to be renewed!
Doubling down on the debate doom is this piece from the New York Daily News with the headline, Why’s He’s Falling Apart. Not only is this article by Jim Geraghty a good read, but the accompanying photo illustration screamed Tatler Photo Caption Contest!
After yesterdays, “Photo Caption Contest Winner Without a Contest” featuring Winston Churchill and Barack Obama in the same historic photo, I sensed some real frustration among loyal contest followers. So, once again here is a real contest for you all to vent your pent-up political creative urges.
To start things off here is my entry:
Can I blame this disabling disease on George W. Bush if it’s not covered under ObamaCare?
Such a lame entry and I expect Tatler readers can do much better.
For this contest we are back to the normal rules of “be nice and stay classy because the media is watching.
And, as usual, the winner will receive priceless PR in a future post.
Now, go start your engines but don’t crack up!
Sometimes things just fall apart.
Cracks appearing? Now, we get to see what’s in there. I suspect it’s nothing.
Trickle down failure leads to cracks in the dam.
This is racist, portraying a black man with “crack.”
Sorry, Mr. President, would you repeat that? Couldn’t hear you. You’re breaking up.
Soon, I will be a shovel-ready job.
(P.S.
Cemeterial meaning NOT intended. Don’t read in my joke what is NOT there.)
“I didn’t feel like that before the debate.”
Barack Obama sat in great state.
Barack Obama had a debate.
All the press lapdogs and palace guardsmen
Could not put Obama back together again.
Obama: Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again.
Americans: Sorry, it’s not us, it’s you.
Crack, baby, crack, show me you’re real
Smack, baby, smack, is that all that you feel?
Tax, baby, tax, give me your debt
Before you start professing that you’re knocking me dead
Oh yeah
This debating business isn’t what it’s all cracked up to be.
Just not feeling quite together the morning after the debate.
Oh man, what was in that choom?
The Messiah is cracking.
Hey Myra, maybe you should put that photo on a bumper sticker and put it on your car.
What do you think?
Thanks for the suggestion but I both need and value my car.
He said that? Really? That Joe. He really cracks me up.
I look like an etch-a-sketch and I’m puzzled.
Fractured Fairy Tales, of course.
You are what you smoke.
The “Faux-cade” President.
No need to regenerate before November shellacing…Preezy Faux Finished!
– my works, ye mighty, and despair.
– breaks
Like a vase.
Media Glue warning: Avoid direct exposure to the truth.
1)They say that breaking up is hard to do. Apparently not, see ya.
2)It must be the altitude.
3)You didn’t build this. The media did…
4)Obamacare: “I’m not just the President, I’m also a client”
5)”This administration has been as transparent as a pane of glass.”
6) “I think I may have caught something from the Pimp With a Limp.”
7) I now know what kind of eye candy I am. Peanut brittle.
8)I lose a little energy and Maher and Matthews start frackin’ me.
Clint was right….he cracked under the pressure only to reveal he really is just an empty chair.
Oh man, and I thought this idol had only FEET of clay.
By Green Day:
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned?
Was that Holy Water you splashed on me?
Nobel Pieces Prize.
– just loathe him.
1) Bonnie Tyler: “Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years’ve gone by …
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then
I see the look in your eyes …
Every now and then I fall apart.”
2) “Romney won the debate?! That really cracks me up!!”
3) “He’s starting to shimmy, he’s starting to shudder … he’s beginning to crack up!”
4) All may be collapsing around him, but the steely gaze remains.
“Visit the Leper colony”, you said, “It’ll good exposure!”.
“Visit the Leper colony”, you said, “it’ll be good exposure!”.
“Engineering to the helm! She’s breaking up, Capt’n, and can’t take much more!”
(BTW, I’m NOT lowering Captain Kirk’s stature by comparing him to a failed president…..it’s just the quote seemed to fit…lol.)
This puzzle seems to be missing a few pieces.
“And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile,”
Guess we know which part of the country is “fragile”.
“Oh Joe, just saw your prep for your debate with Ryan. You really crack me up! Now if you’ll excuse me I have a house in Hawaii to go check on.”
E Unum pluribus … out of The One, many.
Battered Barack breaks into bitter bits.
And of course there’s “Crackin’ Up” by Nick Lowe:
Cracking up, getting ready to go
Had enough, I can’t take any more
No pills that I can take
This is too real and there ain’t no escape
It scares the daylight making nightmares
I’m tense, and I’m nervous
And everybody’s all around me
Shaking hands and saying howdy
I don’t think it’s funny no more
Cracking up …
Obama to Romney (Patsy Cline Style)
I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces, how can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we’ve never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we’ve never met.
And I’ve tried and I’ve tried but I haven’t yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces!
“I still stand behind Michelle and her meal plan. It does a body good!”
“When the walls come tumblin’ down
When the walls come crumblin’ crumblin’
When the walls come tumblin’ tumblin’
Tumblin’ tumblin’ down”
With due respect to Mr. Mellencamp.
Someone with more talent than me should re-write those lyrics to be a bit more appropriate in this instance.
