On the Monday broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs used a familiar metaphor about a "car in the ditch" that President Obama was known for using throughout 2010.
When Barack Obama got the keys to the bus it was trapped in the ditch with three flat tires. We've changed the tires, we've pulled the bus out of the ditch, and were starting up the road to strengthening the middle class," Gibbs said this morning.
"There's a different theory. Mitt Romney wants to take that bus -- probably a bus made in Switzerland or Bermuda -- and he wants to turn that bus around, he wants to pick up some millionaires and billionaires and shower them with cash," he said.

He pulled the bus out of the ditch to burn it
Absolutely. I heard some left wing talking head on the tube the other day claiming Obomacare was designed to get rid of the "Freeloading" TAX PAYERS who aren't paying their free ambulance and free emergency room bills. According to this guy, the scrounging left wing welfare base had nothing to do with the theft. It was all the working peoples fault. No joke!

Oh horse feathers!

Personally, I want to drive my own car or my own bus if I want one. I don’t want to be riding on the bus and I certainly don’t want to be fighting for the best seat.
Pulled it right out of the ditch that the democrats crashed it into and gunned it right off the cliff into the toilet.
That’s exactly what Obama’s economic “plan” amounts to.
Not to mention the illegal aliens who have bankrupted many emergency rooms.
These lefty's with their delusions and lies are simply amazing.
Is that the big black Canadian/Canadien bus that Baraq rides around in on the taxpayers money?
It’s all George Bush’s fault!
“bus, ditch”
George Bush, who doesn’t have a vote in congress and who no longer occupies the White House, is to blame for it all.
He broke Obama’s promise, to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.
He broke Obama’s promise, to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.
He broke Obama’s promise, to end earmarks.
He broke Obama’s promise, to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.
Bush broke Obama’s promise, to close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.
He broke Obama’s promise, to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America’s most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.
He broke Obama’s promise, to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.
He broke Obama’s promise, to end no-compete contracts with the government.
He broke Obama’s promise, to disclose the names of all attendees at closed White House meetings.
Bush broke Obama’s promise, for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.

“Personally, I want to drive my own car or my own bus if I want one.”
Good point: Gibbs’ analogy betrays his one-size-fits-all mentality. Moreover, who the hell would hire anyone who took THREE YEARS to get a bus out of a ditch. Even if we accepted the analogy as valid, Ronald Reagan got a much more damaged bus out of the ditch MUCH faster. http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-percent-job-losses-in-world-war-ii-recessions-2012-7
That’s what the country gets for electing an affirmative action president who likely had terrible grades. He’s an amateur who’s way over his head. Peoples here is ignant.
Good one.
