[Jim Robinson]

Today's breaking news, same as yesterday, same as tomorrow:

Corruption and greed plague DC and Wall Street. Obama taxes, begs, borrows and spends as formerly free markets falter and fail. Unemployment, bankruptcy, despair soar. Swine flu hits Mexico. World Health Organization declares flu pandemic. Schools close in Mexico and Texas. Panic spreads. Earthquake hits Mexico. "Illegal" guns flow from U.S. to Mexico. Illegal drugs, illegal aliens, crime, disease and violence flow back. CO2 emmissions threaten to overheat the earth, raise sea levels, drown millions. War continues to spread in the Middle East. Corruption, crime, violence, greed, plagues, pestilence, drought, floods, fire, earthquakes, war and rumors of war. Panic consumes all. Common sense abandoned. We must submit or die!!!!

Not one to waste a good crisis, Obama quickly blames America, humbly apologizes and bows to world government.

...of course he is getting his new NSA-rigged Blackberry soon, so then he’ll be in better control of things on or off the course.

[paulycy]

[rogue yam]

Not breaking news.

(Just kidding, Jim.)

[CitizenM]

He needs to get his Blackberry connected to his Teleprompter.Then he will know what to say when away from it. Otherwise, he will keep the ahs and uhms coming and repeating himself. Of course, the Teleprompter will probably demand double-time pay for advising the prez when it’s not officially “on duty.” So Obama will just raise taxes to cover yet another administrative expense.

[True Republican Patriot]

But, lets remember The ZERO shot a perfect 300 on the Golf Course today! The General told me that when the score cont got to 300, they told ZERO HUSSEIN that there were no more holes and that they had miraculously ended the game with the PERFECT 300 score!! and they told ZERO all of his bowling friends would be REALLY IMPRESSED! NO KIDDING:-)
