Last weekend my husband noticed this watch in a Hollywood, Florida hotel lobby store.
Upon seeing it he said, “Have you ever wanted to buy a watch just to smash it?”
I had stepped away so I had no idea what he was talking about until he showed me the Obama watch in the display case of the closed store.
Immediately I exclaimed, “Photo Caption Contest!” and whipped out my smart phone. It was then he said, “You know how I hate to encourage you.” (As I have previously mentioned, my husband is paranoid, for no real reason, of a future letter from that ever popular government agency and the prospect of his wife being carted off to re-education camp because of this contest series and other PJM writings.)
So now that you know the family background, let us begin our newest contest BUT, and I mean BUT, please try to control yourselves because I know what you are thinking when you look at this watch.
Try to abide by our rules of, “be nice and stay classy because the media is watching.” The winners of our last contest did so, but I realize that photo was of a natural occurrence and this photo is of a man-made artifact for sale in a nation watching itself go broke.
Too bad the store was closed because I had all sorts of questions:
What was the price? How long had the watch been sitting in the display case? Did it work properly? Was it a media creation? Was the watch made in China? Could I borrow money from China to buy it? Could I print money to buy it?
Have fun kids, and watch it!
1) “Watch this!”, he said just before parting the Red Tape and leading the True Believers on the path to the Promised Utopia of free government cheese and Obamaphones.
2)”Watches need two hands to tell time, I only need my left one.”
3)”Sieg Heil! Wait, what do you mean that’s already been done?”
4) “I watching you.”
(On a more personal note, will there be cheese and wine on the railcars?)
1. Cheap, chintzy, fake, doesn’t work very well, good for show only – but enough about Obama, let’s talk about this butt ugly watch.
2. Perpetually runs backwards to when Bush was president in order to place blame.
Of course it’s wrong to make the comparison. With Hitler you used your right hand.
Only Obama can stop time. Eat it, Chuck Norris.
They say even a broken watch is right twice a day. Well this watch is never right.
Broken and never right. . . . not even twice a day.
How long can you survive until a new President?
The watch that allows the turning back of time, for a third term.
Takes no licking, keeps on tricking.
A black band? Racist!
Complete with two adjustors: one for dialing back time lost watching his boring speech(es) and another for moving forward to an improved economy.
No animals were harmed in the making of this watch, only when I ate that dog.
Tells time in all U.S. and Kenyan time zones.
Model shown has optional halo.
BS-resistant to 100 meters.
NOTE TO BUYERS: This watch runs fast, but not furious.
Hands that spread the wealth . . . all around the dial.
This watch comes complete with an hour hand, a minute hand, a second hand and Obama’s hand that takes away all your stuff!
“Your time is my time.”
“It’s always Obama Time!”
“Time to vote Obama!”
“Taking a page from the People’s Republic of China, the United States will replace the traditional four continental time zones with a single Obama Standard Time during the winter months and Obama Lightbringer Time for the summer.”
