The missile is capable of hitting Alaska. I doubt Obama will give a damn about Alaska

Obama: I’m gonna tell on you North Korea, UN would be really really mad and will write a letter against the launch.
UN: North Korea pretty please don’t launch the missile.
North Korea: Were trembling in our shoes.. NOT!!!
If Bush was still the president North Korea wont even dare launch a firework pointing towards us.

He’ll call up all the NATO leaders and say, ahhh, what do we do now? Do you think if I took the i-Pod back from Queenie and gave it to Kim Jung Il along with a new Members Only jacket, he’d like me? Doesn’t he know I’m the Great Communicator?

Nah, I bet he’ll return the IPod he picked up in Chicago for Kim Jung Il now.

That’ll teach the commies. No copies of B HO’s speeches and Inuaguration now.

He probably called his friends in the media and said "don't talk about it"... and that seems to have worked.

I’ll bet N Korea bootlegs a lot of DVDs, just like China. So Kim Jung probably already has all the DVD’s the Obamas would be giving out, except of course, seasons One and Two of “Flava of Love”.
