Cripes, Suzette!

MOO, Formerly Known as MO

Without question, the most touching moment in last night's address was when the leader of the free (ride) world quoted a touching letter from deceased lion, Ted Kennedy:

 

Take one part maternity top, one part big top circus tent and add pleats, pleats, pleats. And don't forget the bow!

 

World Famous Fashion Icon and Busy Mom™ Michelle Obama, shows  America her particular brand of personal style by accentuating her least flattering body parts: her awesome abdomen, her badonkulous butt and her thunder thighs.

 Can I ask again who is dressing this woman? Granted, she's been packing on the pounds over the course of the summer but surely there was something just a bit more flattering hanging in the closet.

UPDATE: You know, I follow a lot of MOO fanblogs-they have the best pictures. Predictably,  they stay true to form and are very complimentary to this ensemble. Keep this picture in mind as I repeat parts of comments made at one of them:

...

• Lovely squared!
• that broach was too cute.
• I saw her walk out this evening ,and sadly, instead of being excited about the address all I could think of was, 'I want that jacket!' The bow was just perfect, and the pleats in the back made it all the more lovely.
• I think we all just knew that Mrs. O could bring her own personality to the suit. She looks fabulous. Love that brooch, too. Two thumbs way up from me.
• I loved th color, but HATED the style. Its too darn conservative, and blah.
• Lovely color, matronly cut and fabric. (That's a compliment? - Ed.)
• Bows and Pleats oh my! A+ outifit!
• I guess she didn't want her arms or her outfit to outshine her husbands message.

Death Taps Ted Kennedy

Death visits Senator Kennedy

(image courtesy of The Proprietor)

Despite the finest medical treatment and surgical intervention that money could buy, Ted Kennedy finally died. Long after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, out of the public eye for months, hanging by a thread but still able to write self-serving letters to popes and governors, he was called to the Lord on August 27, 2009. Immediately thereafter,  the Lord said "Sorry, wrong number" and handed the phone over to Satan, who already had the roaster fired up.

After a gluttonous and immoral lifetime marked by dishonesty, drunken debauchery, overindulgence  and criminal behavior, the well-known poster boy for killing both the unborn and the submerged found himself at the end of life's dock. Nothing if not tenacious, he clung to a life prolonged by all that modern medicine had to offer until Barack Obama was called in to say the special aloha he created for seniors who should not be seeking life-saving treatments because they are going to die anyway.

He is survived by his wife Altovise, his ex-wife Joan, three children, two step-children that noboy ever heard of until Altovise wrote the obiturary, and his beloved Portuguese waterdogs Sunny, Splash and GlubGlubGlub.

Because The Last Sick Old Person He Visited Said Aloha Right Afterwards

Chance of Obama Visit Highlights Bond With Kennedy

"With Kennedy now at his vacation home in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod and Obama setting off on his weeklong stay on nearby Martha's Vineyard, there's speculation the president may come see the ailing senator." AP

Dear Ted,

Charge  up  your motorized wheelchair make tracks for Route 6 pronto. Barry's coming and YOU KNOW what his plans are for sick old people. He's looking for personal examples about the folly of performing medical procedures on people who are going to die anyway.

First he pounded everybody over the head with that story of his grandmother's broken hip but we've all heard that one by now. He needs a new story "even a man of power and influence ... all his wealth couldn't save him ...  experimental treatment after a terminal diagnosis ..."  Yada yada. It'll play in the heartland.

You're in for it, Ted, unless you skedaddle out of town before he gets there. Ah well, might be no use anyway. He's like a one-an death panel with his own air plane. Be sure to say hello to Madelyn for us. And that other girl - what was her name?

                                                                               Best regards, Suzette

UPDATE:

We’re Not Unreasonable. I Mean, No One’s Gonna Eat Your Eyes

Only today did I realize how perfectly the Jonathan Coulton song re: Your Brains illustrates the argument against Obamacare. It's because (#1) they're telling you how bad it's going to be if you go along with their plan and it is not to your overall benefit and (#2) there's no way that it won't get even worse if you open the door for them and let them take over.

So many words have been written about why the Un-American Nazi mobs are opposed to the government takeover of the medical system.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many words is this YouTube video worth? I like this version because the creator even cast Rahm Emanuel as the lead persuader.

"I really wish you’d let us in. I think I speak for all of us when I say
I understand why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand.
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming."

All we want to do is eat your brains

We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes

All we want to do is eat your brains

We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:

If you open up the doors

We'll all come inside and eat your brains

From the official White House blog:

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care.  These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation.  Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to [email protected]."

Clinging To A Blackberry

Ol' Silver Tonsils doesn't use words loosely. Everything that comes out of his mouth is "calibrated" for an intended effect.

Obama: I used to pray every night - now I pray ALL the time
(and get devotionals on my Blackberry) Daily Mail UK

Gawd. What a sly ass. The Blackberry Prayer? Really?

" The Blackberry Prayer: The supplicating position one assumes when grasping the popular six-ounce wireless combination e-mailer/phone known as the BlackBerry between your palms and thumb-tapping messages on its QWERTY keyboard."  Urban Dictionary

It makes one wonder, doesn't it, if every one of his sentences is peppered with purposefully provocative words and phrases that are not what they seem to be on the surface. The use of "jigger" in the race baiting firebomb he threw out Wednesday night, the implication that the Secret Service would shoot him if he tried to enter a locked  White House, the blue collar-style libation he suggested as a peacemaker between police and accuser.

I find that last one particularly interesting because the only beers BO consumes are for the cameras. The drinking preferences of both Obamas has been obsessively cataloged all over the internet. Evey breathless report about those romantic dates nights includes a reference to World Famous Fashion Icon and Busy Mom Michelle Obama's™ two pre-dinner martinis and mentions the selections of fine wines during the meal.

But for this high-profile event, the drink offered is a beer.  Why? Because the cop is a blue-collar man in America? Maybe Professor Gates will change his plans and do a documentary on beer-drinkers for PBS.

Recap of Obama Press Conference On the State of Modern Healthcare:

 

"...  you've got a bad sore throat or your child has a bad sore throat or has repeated sore throats, the doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, "You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out." Barack Obama, July 2009

More Tonsil horror:

• IMAO - What To Do If A Doctor Is After Your Kid's Tonsils

Question: What's That Smell? Answer: It's B.O.

I drove my customary route through the PNC Bank Arts Center parking lots to get to the Parkway this morning. Guess who's coming to NJ today to align himself with the nation's most reckless governor,  Jon "Seatbelt" Corzine?

The audience was already pouring in at 11am for a 3:15pm appearance. My route to the parkway was blocked by two wise Latina assholes driving school buses that were parked side by side in the oncoming lane. Laughing and yakking with the windows and doors open. I honked and waved but that made no difference I had to sit there and wait until they felt like moving.

And that, people, is what happens when established law is ignored and decisions are made based on the richness of one's own experience instead.

Red arrow = where I went

Dark blue arrow = where I wanted to go

Gold Stars = assholes blocking the intersection with school buses

UPDATE 1: I watched both speeches via a live stream video provided by the local paper. Corzine was jolly and peppy during whatever it was he was saying. Obama, frankly, didn't give much of a speech. Very light on the NJ; very heavy on the healthcare. At one point he did say that thanks to JC, NJ was now the national leader in reading and math which came as a surprise even to the bus loads of attendees from the teacher's union.

Once he got that out of the way, the speech was pure boilerplate all the way. Even the in-the-bag reporters from the Asbury Park Press noticed and liveblogged it:

The only thing worth watching on the video was one guy in the top row of supporters behind the podium. He was busy the whole time. Either he was on his cellphone:

or he was taking pictures:

I missed my chance to do a screen capture of when he was fidgeting with the three flags in his jacket pocket, or when he was swiveling his head from side to side or even when he ceremoniously blew his nose with a big white hankie. But I did get a another nice cellphone shot:

UPDATE 2: I stayed off the Parkway going home because I didn't want to get caught in that celebratory post-speech traffic. Even on the smaller roads, many long black limos were spotted driving south from the PNC. The most excitement that I saw on the roads was a Holmdel Hazmat Vehicle and a parade of police cruisers from other towns going back where they came from.

Asses In The White House

This is the difference between Republicans and Democrats: Republicans want leaders who inspire them to be better, to work towards moral and behavioral ideals and who are constant reminders of what's good about America. Democrats want leaders who tell them it's okay to fall short, to celebrate character flaws as if they were desirable personal goals and who are constant reminders of personal and societal dysfunction.

And ye shall know them by the public images they choose to display:

This one image alone should put a dead stop to any comparison between World-Famous Fashion Icon and Busy Mom Michelle Obama™ and Jackie Kennedy. Here is your first lady posing for Vogue magazine during the time she spent at the Hay-Adams hotel in Washington DC before the inaguration.  Can you imagine Jackie sprawled out ass end up, hair tucked behind her shoulder, looking more like a clothed Playboy pictorial than a fashion spread?

Here is the leader of the free world setting an example for youngsters by sucking down suds while sitting shoulder to shoulder with small children at a basketball game in February. He's America's Coolest President Ever! How does this guy spend so much time out and about the town? What do first daughters Malaria and Sashay do while their parents choose to spend their free evenings out and about in DC?

52% of American voters asked for it, but 100% of Americans have to suffer from it. When you say Obama, you've said it all.

But He Had Nothing To Say About Aretha or That Portly Poet Laureate

From our friends at NewBusters:

NBC: Obama Calls Singer Jessica Simpson Fat

"Apparently, President Barack Obama thought that Jessica Simpson's weight was something he needed to make fun of during his pre-Super Bowl interview with Matt Lauer on NBC Sunday ... It seems a bit low of the President of the United States to so offhandedly slam a mere entertainer, doesn't it? ... "

I find this troublesome for a number of reasons: first, I would hope that the president has more important papers to read than US Magazine. Of course, if you subscribe to the notion that he is the frontman for the real power people, then it makes sense that he has time to scan the gossip rags. Second, this bodes ill for anyone who is not on the arugula/vitamin water diet and has more than 2% body fat. I can't help thinking that we're seeing the opening salvos of the war on overweight people. Maybe that will be a feature of the universal healthcare plan that is rolling down the tracks in this country.

But wait! There's more!

  "He appears in this national TV interview in a simple button up shirt with open collar. No suit jacket, not even a tie. Is this the sort of appearance that a man in the highest office of the land should show the nation?" 

Even Jimmy Carter (the first one) took the trouble to button up a cardigan over his shirt. He seems to be sitting in a not exactly upright posture, doesn't he? All that's missing is a grease stain on his shirtfront.

 I'm glad I didn't see this interview before the Superbowl. It was enough of a buzzkill that I had to suffer working-class hero Springsteen huffing and puffing around the stage at half-time.

The Toilet Paper Ball Gown Contest Winner Is...

Unspoken Agenda: Not Just The Coal Industry But Putting The Sewer Plants Out of Business Too

Here's my new inaugural philosophy: no sense getting all sulky and avoidant. Let's embrace all the good that's going to flow our way after Tuesday.

Just tell me one thing  why is so much money being spent on Portapotties in Washington DC? Who is going to need them? After all, as soon as the 44th president is inaugurated, sunshine is going to start beaming  out of our collective national ass.

Isn't it?

Still Waiting for HOPE to Arrive But At Least We're Starting To See CHANGE

I am completely captivated  by the official White House portrait of the 44th president:

Is it not endearing the way they seem to have shaved off a little bit from each ear with Photoshop? Compare and contrast with images gathered from a quick Google search of photos taken during the primaries:

    

Go ahead - do your own image searches - highly entertaining!

UPDATE: Look at BHO's official senatorial picture. Apparently, the jug ear reduction maneuver is old news where his official portraits are concerned.

Did Anyone Tell Obama that Lincoln Was A Republican?

Unbelievably, we're STILL talking about presidential china!

The Obama presidency is starting out as all things Lincoln, including a "Lincolnesque" post-inaugural luncheon served on replicas of the Lincoln china.

Let's look closely at this, shall we? First, the food:

"The luncheon that will be served will be modeled on foods that Lincoln ate and enjoyed.The luncheon's appetizer will be seafood stew in puff pastry -- scallops, shrimp, lobster -- served as a nod to the 16th president's love of stewed and scalloped oysters."

Lincoln liked oysters so they're serving lobster? Hey, I like oatmeal - maybe I'll eat a slice of bread! More than you want to know about the Lincoln-inspired menu here.

One thing I learned as a result of my business travels is that almost every state has wineries. In fact, Illinois has 70 of them, yet the Licolnization stops right there and the wine served will be from California, the home state of the inaugural committee chairman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein.Where is the symbolism behind that decision, Diane? Hmm?

Now, the china: "The first course will even be served on replicas of the china picked out by then-first lady Mary Todd Lincoln at the beginning of her husband's term in office." Here are images of both dinner plates:

 

faux Lincoln china   ................   genuine Lincoln china

Not exactly the pure definition of "replica", is it? Of interest to note is that you too can dine like Lincoln by purchasing this dinnerware from the Jimmy Carter Presidential Museum Store. It's on the shelf right next to the replica cans of Billy Beer.

Other symbolic references to Lincoln include riding the train from Philadelphia to DC, using the same bible for the swearing-in and emulating Lincoln's "team of rivals" in the Cabinet, which "Mr. Obama has replicated by putting three former Democratic presidential primary opponents in his." Pul-eeze! . Is there nothing that these people will not reference incorrectly in the continuing plan to bamboozle the public?

Because of the uncertainty about whether the American public actually "gets' the symolism of the Obama -Lincoln imagery, more direct steps were taken yesterday as the the PEBO "played tourist" and took his family to the Lincoln Memorial. Too bad he was unable to make it there during the 4 years he spent in DC as a  US Senator.

Even more Lincoln! After months of intense speculation about what Michelle Obama will be wearing to the Inaugural Ball, those in the know have let it leak that her gown will be modeled on Mary Todd Lincoln's ruffled confection  "At the Inaugural Ball she wore a $2,000 white silk and lace gown with an elaborate headdress and fan."

Now who wants to bet that they spend the night of January 20th sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom? And release photos of it on January 21st?

Mother Mother I Am Ill. Call The Doctor On Capitol Hill

It's becoming harder and harder to get the story behind the story these days. It's pretty hard to believe that Sanjay Gupta is the only physicians being considered for the position of Surgeon General, isn't it? You're instincts are correct - there were quite a few other high-profile media types that made the cut for  final vetting. I've compiled some notes here for you in one convenient location:

•   Dr Dre ... 

The coolest president needs a kool surgeon general. This candidate is favored for appointment due to his well-known pro-smoke position. Dre would make an excellent figurehead for the first public health campaign of the new administration: "Chain-smoking we can believe in". Ultimately rejected because his influence is only felt on the West Coast.

• Dr Phil ...

High profile, well-known TV personality. Maintains that connection to Chicago without the embarrassment of  politics. This appointment would also satisfy in part the debt to Oprah for leading national audience of low IQ sheeple to pull "D" lever with no questions asked. Rejected in the end because the smartest president could not risk association with an appointee who looks and sounds retarded.

•  Dr Spock ...  

 The baby boomer president would benefit by appointing an icon of the biggest baby generation. Pluses: permissive attitude towards to immature behavior and tantrums caused by unrealistic sense of entitlement. Minuses: he's dead.

• Dr. Seuss ...   

 This is a very strong contender because the most fashionable president  is drawn to the statement created by the trademark distinctive headgear.  Obama himself displays strong a predilection for hats  and  found simpatico in this candidate but had to back off once he was determined to be a fictional character

• Dr. Watson ... 

Even better than a Surgeon General with stylish headgear is a Surgeon General whose the partner gets to wear the better hat. For this situation, Watson is the man. Sadly, again the problem of a fictional character intrudes.

• Dr Ruth ..  

The sexiest president is going to need sex advice sooner or later  and who better than Dr Ruth for the frank discussions of the expected situations that are only a matter of time? (See Clinton, William J.) Unfortunatley she was disqualified when she broke the code of silence demanded from those in the inner circle by making direct reference to the new boss.

• Dr. Kervorkian ...  

Aligned with the most compassionate president's desire to restructure American healthcare, this candidate famously supports specific alternatives to conventional medical treatment. It has been determined that he can best serve the administration by taking on the newly created position of  personal physician to the Secretary of State.

You won't see stories like this in the MSM.

Office of the 8th Grader-Elect

From Our Department of Open Mouth Insert Foot:

Question: do they not have teleprompters for those president-elect press conferences?

In his first news conference as president-elect, obama shows up 28 minutes late, displays a lack of understanding about presidential press conference protocol and insults a presidential widow.

 Not to worry - it's all easily explained. He was late because he was waiting for the ink to dry on that sign and he did call Nancy Regan to apologize for his character-revealing blunder. That is the kind of thing that is making America cool again. After all, his mama didn't raise a mean, immature misogynist. Oh, that's right - his mama didn't raise him at all.

Bonjour!

 

 

Hey, Barry - No Hard Feelings, Huh?

I mean - you're not going to send out that citizen militia after me or anything, right? Let's start over. I just want you to know that I'm totally on board with that you take care of me/I take care of you thing you were talking about.

Someone must have been using my car while I was in California this week because the gas tank is almost empty. So, should I just give them your name at the gas station, or what? And I know you're busy now but I'd like to turn over my mortgage to you as soon as possible. I'll just mail the coupon book to your Chicago address and mark "FROM SUZETTE" on the envelope so you know who it's from.

Hopefully yours, Suzette

p.s. Regards to the Mrs.! Ask her where I can get one of those spray-painted dresses.

Hey Where Are The Black Women At?

If I was a woman related to presumptive president Obama, I'd be more than a little uneasy right about now. Let's play Try And Find Me:

Presumptive first lady Michelle Obama. They've got  her buried so deep now even David Axelrod can't find her. I don't see why - she's so nice and all. I'm sure she didn't mean to stir up all that black vs. white stuff and the crack about being proud of this country for the first time - heck, what does that even mean? There's no harm to the campaign in letting the public see a little more of her.

Here she is coaching some ladies in the finer points of displaying the peaceful "hang loose" sign. We're all Hawaiian now! Look at this picture and you can almost see the gentle waggling motion. See what an inspiring leader she can be?

[Note to Michelle - you forgot to extend your thumb and pinky again. Needs more practice.]

We'll get our fill of looking at Michelle and her giant gaudy brooches after November 5th.

Suddenly ill grandma Madelyn Dunham. Dead or alive? Nobody knows! I guess the big rush to get to her bedside wasn't EXACTLY the urgent situation that was trumpeted around by the MSM after all.Who could have guessed that?

Don't bury her yet - her usefulness is quite not over.  Unless Teddy K  kicks the bucket before election day, the campaign strategists are going to have to go to Plan B to capture the sympathies of the Dead Elder voters.

[Note to Grandma - in case you make it that far, keep your doors locked on Tuesday.]

Grandma Madelyn will appear in national headlines again after November 5th (one way or the other).

lllegal alien Aunt Zeituni Onyango. That's how it goes, Auntie - one day your busy  donating your welfare checks to your nephew's campaign and hiding from the INS and the next day, you're whisked out of sight and can't be found for all the lottery tickets in Boston. Senator Obama had no knowledge of your immigration status! Senator Obama returned the welfare money you donated!

Senator Obama believes we should take care of one another - hey, has anyone checked Greenwood Avenue in Chicago? I bet that's where she is. Senator Obama, once he "found out" about her, moved her out of run down public housing and into his spacious private home. What a sweet way to spread the wealth around! Plus free baby sitting.

[Note to Aunt Zeituni - here's your money back. Your nephew is going to have to limit himself to taking campaign donations from other foreigners now.]

Auntie Zeituni can't talk about her relationship with her newphew, the presidential contender, until after the election. She will resume media  interviews on November 5th.

Mama Sarah Onyango Obama, the other grandmother. Barack Obama’s family in Kenya has stopped  media interviews. "The move was taken to ensure that people, especially the media, do not pre-empt the outcome of the US elections by using comments from the family members."

Say what?

"The move was taken to give Obama's paternal grandmother a break." Oh, that's more like it.  Security officers are restricting entry into the family home. Visitors are thoroughly screened by police before being allowed in and restrained from  conducting interviews.

I know just what they mean - my grandma was the same way. All day long it was the same thing - restraining, screening and restricting from morning till night. I tell you, those grandmas need a lot of handling to keep things running smooth.

[Note to Mama Sarah - just clam up and don't pre-empt the outcome of the US elec ... wait a minute. Just what could you possibly say that would have that effect? Don't get wise on us now- you know what we have planned for grandma Madelyn. Ever heard of a little thing called Plan C?]

The family will open up to the media again on November 5th.

Nightmare On Obama Street

That Obama family  sure knows how to get their masquerade on.

Check it out:

Imagine that he caught the attention of the cameras, the reporters, Secret Service men and vans and other assorted onlookers as he planned a leisurely stroll through his neighborhood for a little Trick or Treating. There's that poor judgment again. Let's see now: shutting out CBS affiliates who dare ask Joey B a real question, kicking reporters whose papers backed McCain off the campaign plane,  now "growing especially testy" with the media - this is getting to be quite the trend, isn't it? I wonder how he'll handle reporters who displease him after the Ascension?

Halloween is a great family holiday and the Obamas are no exception. They're just like us! Obama family disguises:

• Barry went as a girly man.
• Little Sashay dressed as a corpse bride
• Malaria was disguised as an evil fairy
• No word on Michelle's costume but anonymous inside sources reveal that it involved a big ugly brooch.
• Aunt  Zeituni pretended to be living within the law

Yes, another Obama relative surfaces with a too-hot-for-prime-time life story.

Old Auntie Z, a relative who appeared in your next president's Dreams From My Father, has turned up in Boston, illegal and on welfare. Not just any old illegal immigrant but a person who " was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request " - a deportee who simply refused to leave the country as ordered and then went on to obtain public housing and collect welfare.

It takes a village, eh Barry? Well,  your village is calling and it wants to give you some government money as a campaign donation. Auntie Z used some of her welfare money to contribute to Obama's campaign.

Is that legal? Oops! Aunt Zeituni does not do legal. My bad.

She declined to answer most other questions about her relationship with the presidential contender until after the November 4 election. “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”

Hey, look! Aunt Zeituni is a regular media darling. Here's a reference to an AP interview in 2003:

An Associated Press story about poor people buying lottery tickets at cheque-cashing shops, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, on May 25, 2003, quotes a Zeituni Onyango whom it describes as out of work and without much money. “It's like when I feel luck might fall I do that, like manna might come from Heaven. That’s when I buy it,” she told AP.

Manna from Heaven. Looks like the lottery didn't pan out so now Auntie's betting her check on Barry's election. He didn't help you before, Zeituni, even though he was in the same city, made millions, garnered influence - what makes you think that your expectations for a better life thanks to him are going to be fulfilled now?

Keep running, Barry. Run far.

Greetings From Sunny California

People! My 4-day confinement in the basement of an LAX hotel has ended and I'm now free to breathe fresh air and look at the sky. I've relocated to my son's apartment (short version: it needs cleaning) and I have the next three days penciled in for leisure.

So what's been happening? Did I miss anything? How as that Obamamercial? I didn't hear a single person speak about it, not even on early morning news. Has  Michelle Threefeet been up to anything lately? I must say, the woman has surprised me. I thought there wouldn't be much to say about her but she's turning out to be a 6 foot tall freakshow.

 Did you know that we have something in common, she and I? I am a fan of big unusual brooches. I can't even decide which photo to show here as evidence that she does, too - to select one is to ignore the many equally ...  um, impressive? pins that she has been sporting across the campaign trail. She likes these sequin flower pins a lot - I've seen them on her in at least 5 colors, and she wears them in varying locations and color combinations. None of which ever make them look good.

So, how've you been? What's been happening?

Parade of Obama Feet

Not one to give up the limelight to anyone else, Mr. Obama displays HIS bare feet.

Here he is walking around in full Mourn My Grandma mode for the cameras in Hawaii. (Nice touch with the shades, sir. Can you turn your face just a bit? That way the sun can catch the glint off of your cheeks. "Tracks of my tears" and all that.  They'll eat it up.)

"His attempt to take a solitary walk outside the Makiki apartment building where he spent much of his youth was cut short, apparently because of the attention of reporters, supporters and curious onlookers."

Solitary walk? You mean, without the Secret Service? But with the press corps?

Also, pigeon-toed much, Mr. Obama?

And just to cover all bases, here is shot of his feet in shoes that PROVES beyond doubt that he is just like us, worn out soles and all.

" ... as he was getting ready to begin his event, he asked me if I was photographing his shoes. When I said yes, he told me that he had already had them resoled once since he entered the race ..."

 

Aww ...  that's so sweet, so human, almost.- he's not just like me, he's better than me. I haven't had a pair of shoes resoled since ... I can't remember when. My childhood, I guess. Back to you, Michelle.

Yes We Can Hear Truth

What is happening to the party of hope and change? Did the teleprompter break again? These are things that were long suspected but never spoken aloud. Here they are in their own words:

OOPS!

 * a Scranton colloquialism.
All of the hard-working blue collars in Scranton use this example.

.

 

DUH!
