The Second Banana at the White House
Jewish World Review ^ | Dec. 14, 2010 | Wesley Pruden

Posted on 12/14/2010 7:26:55 PM PST by Sarah

What can you do with a good ol' boy like Bubba? He only does what Bubba does. You probably shouldn't blame a distracted and overwhelmed Barack Obama, either. But that was a remarkable show the two presidents put on at the White House the other day.

No one remembered such a remarkable abdication of authority since Edward VIII, as goofy as Alfred E. Neuman, gave up a throne, several palaces and the royal grouse hunts to keep at his side "the woman I love." Or at least since Johnny Carson stepped aside for Jay Leno. What's next? Will the president take Bubba along the next time he and Michelle flee the White House for a brief exile in friendlier places?

The president — the black one — seemed a little befuddled the other day when the other president — the white one — took control of an impromptu press conference at the White House. Mr. Obama got Bubba's endorsement of his tax compromise with the Republicans, but at considerable cost. The president was a man caught between two fires, one kindled by the pushy visitor in the briefing room and the other in the parlor, and a husband, even a presidential husband, knows how to calibrate the heat and knows better than to keep an impatient wife with a roast in the oven waiting when guests are arriving for supper.

The most powerful man in the world revealed himself unable to assert the authority of either himself or his office. His press aide stood helplessly at the edge of the scene, allowing

No, I don’t know.
What’s clear though, is that he was brought in to help in these mid-term elections, and who’s to say if it would have been worse or better without him.

He’s like a washed up cheerleader... Who cares what he has to say.

POTUS now means Puss* of the United States.

Sorry ladies.

On the bright side, it just confirms again that he is not Pres__ent of the United States.

Yes, We Have No Bananas!

Folk Song written By: Frank Silver and Irving Cohn (1923)
[modified for WH 2010]

There’s a fruit store on our street
It’s run by a Freak.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!

When you ask him anything, he never answers truth.
He just “yes we can” you to death,
And as he takes your dough, he tells you uncouth...

“Yes! We have no bananas
We have no bananas today!!
We have string beans and onions, cabBAges and scallions
And all kinds of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned toMAHto
A Long Island poTAHto, but

Yes! We have no bananas
We have no bananas today!”

Business got so good for him that he wrote home today,
“Send me Bubba and Bob and Joe; I need help right away.”
When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet.
Someone asked for “balderdash”
and then the whole quartet
All answered:

“Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
Just try those Obummernuts
Those Gibbsy-nuts and Bubbanuts
There ain’t many nuts like they.
We’ll sell you two kinds of ObummerCaring,
Dark brown, and bull-bearing.
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today.”

The First Black President has the goods on The Half Black President.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Do you really think Obama got on the phone an invited Slick Willy to talk? Who made the “phone call” to whom?
Neither Obmana or Bill are pulling the “strings”.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.
Yes I do think that Obama knowingly brought in Clinton to back him up with some ‘cred’. (in some weird way.)
I mean, we here at FR didn’t exactly appreciate Clinton, but compared to Obama he has a way of selling that works for certain constituents.
And as for Clinton, I’m sure he just loved the opportunity.

(Do you think it was a Zionist Cabal?)

Obama is puppet. A mouthpiece and so is Bill Clinton.
Read The Shadow Party by David Horowitz.
