USS BILL CLINTON
The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today from its home port of Vancouver , BC.


The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton 'for his foresight in military budget cuts' and his conduct while holding the (formerly dignified) office of President.

The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots.It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which, although they cannot be launched on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very menacing presence.

As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board.

This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs.

In times of conflict, the USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada.

White House Press Secretary Jesse Jackson issued the following: " This technological wonder is powered by the newest model Briggs & Stratton three horsepower engine and environmentally friendly hand paddles. Extra large white flags are ready to deploy at a moments notice. Government scientists are also working on top secret 'retro sails' which will allow this ship to make the fastest retreat of any ship in history"

An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may seem hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere.

USS BARACK OBAMA

He has no plan, no ideas and just like his presidency, no legitimacy.
This is what the increase in taxes on small business support!

These new sailors are filling all the new government jobs promised by the Democrats

This high tech vessel was christened by Rev. Wright

The USS Sharpton is currently under construction in Kenya while the SS Pelosi is being built from recycled Corona cans in Mexico

OK, I’ll try my hand at an old “shaggy dog” story:

A preacher came to the elders of his church and tendered his resignation. When pressed for an explanation, he would only say “Mother Green”.

“Mother Green? Who’s that? What do you mean?” the elders asked, but the preacher adamently refused to elaborate. The elders asked the preacher to stay until a replacement could be found, and he did so.

The new preacher arrived, and asked the departing pastor why he was giving up his flock. “Mother Green” he said, and once again refused to elaborate.

The new preacher took over, and on one particular Sunday morning, things were going swimmingly. The collection plate was full, the choir was singing on key, and he was in fine voice, raining fire and brimstone on his mesmerized audience. Suddenly, the back doors of the church were flung open, and in strutted, no, flounced a woman, built like the proverbial brick outhouse. She sported a short-short miniskirt, and displayed cleavage nearly to her naval. She sinuously slithered to the front of the church, sat in the front pew, and threw her leg over the armrest. She wore no underwear.

The preacher looked, looked again, and then whispered to the choir director “Is that Mother Green?”

“I don’t think so, pastor,” came the reply “I think it’s just the way the sun is hitting it through the stained-glass window.”

I think I heard President Obama say that waterboarding wasn’t successful. That it only resulted in bringing 3 guys accused of terrorism to trial.

And even after they were tried and convicted, he STILL said that they had been “accused” of terrorism.

Some basic facts our fast and loose president buried. We only waterboarded 3 individuals. All 3 then must’ve been convicted. After conviction, they are no longer considered “innocent” of the charges. They are convicted of the charges. They are no longer consider “the accused”. They have been found in a court of law to be terrorists.

He also referred to how many people the Bush administration released. It didn’t mean that they were innocent of the charges. It meant that they could not be brought to trial. Barack Obama should KNOW that this is a common occurance in legal matters. His friendly Pentagon bomber proclaims to be guilty as sin and free as a bird (the same man we know as “Deep Throat” who took down Nixon also engaged in unlawful means to obtain information to build a case against Bill Ayers).

And of those released, a good number of them later went BACK into terrorist activities with several dying in suicide bombing attacks.

The last president was called a chimp but this current one is a lying chump.
