FReepers, Americans, countrymen, lend me your ears. Just don't ever, EVER, EVER mention anything about Obama's ears. Everything else is fair game...except for his ears. Obama is as solid as a rock, he can take heat on any issue, but his ears are verboten.
Ms. Rodham, have you heard? Barack is derived from the Italian "baracca", which means "an old run-down shack"; "orecchia" is the word for "ear". The shack has an old tin roof, and Barack has a tin ear.
Obama's favorite childhood film was "Dumbo". Barack's ancestors are from Kenya, and Kenya is home to many elephants. The African Elephant (genus Loxodonta) is distinguished from its Asian counterpart by the huge size of the former's EARS. Obama, can you hear me now??? Hey, where did he go?
"Obama is as solid as a rock, he can take heat on any issue, but his ears are verboten."
What are you trying to tell me? That he is a rock with ears?
"Barack's ancestors are from Kenya, and Kenya is home to many elephants."
Kenya is also home of "Tusker" beer which shows an elephant on its label. Big bottles, dirt cheap and very good. Is that perhaps the reason that he is so sensitive about the size of his ears?
