"A Mind Strong Back Is A Terrible Thing To Waste"

I wonder what happened to the boxes of Veggies from the White House garden Moochell gave to world leaders when they visited DC.
Jet fuel for AE1 is tested and guarded until the plane is refueled when abroad.
Most of the rest of the world uses diesel as it is cheaper and has higher MPG.
Here you go.
This man is a total embarrassment as a president.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's something "in the tree".
Bet that's why they're digging it up....security.
Thank you!
And... Thank you too!
:)
It’s a shovel ready job for Israel.
It’s funny. But what kind of “check” do they need to do that cannot be done while the tree is in the ground?
Absolutely hilarious.
I’d go further. I’d dig up the ground that Obama walked on.
Some idiot probably said: “why don’t we plant one of those Southern trees in Israel - you know -the one that was used for the crucifixion?”
But they picked the other Southern tree by mistake - the Magnolia.

The dogwood tree is a beautiful little
hardwood that grows (snip)
across much of the South. The tree is
known for its spectacular white blossoms
that add great splendor to the spring
blooming season.
According to the legend, though, the tree
once grew much larger and served a more
terrible purpose. Tradition holds that the
cross upon which Jesus was crucified was
made from the wood of a dogwood tree.
As the story goes, the tree was both cursed
and blessed because of its role in the
crucifixion. God cursed it by reducing its size
so that no dogwood tree would ever grow
large enough to be used to crucify someone
again. At the same time, however, He
blessed it with its beautiful blossoms, which
come out each spring just before Easter to
remind us of the price that was paid for us all
when Jesus Christ died on the cross.
I know there are rules about transporting rocks (geologic samples) around between some countries. Has to do with the microorganisms in the soils. So perhaps it was more a thing to do with the root-ball of the tree than bugs or stuff on/in the tree.
Me? I would have made up some rule like this if Obama came and planted a tree in my yard. Well - probably not, I wouldn’t be concerned with diplomacy and would have just dug it up. Maybe set it out for garbage pickup with some sign.
“Obama went to Washington, and all I got was this stupid tree.”
“Four years and $60,000 in taxes and all I got was a stupid tree.”
“NIMBY”
Hitler use to give and plant oaks everywhere he went (conquored).

Apparently Hitler is alive and well in NYC. He cut a big hole in the sidewalk in front of my mom's house. He will be planting a tree there without my mom's permission or previous knowledge of such a thing happening. She already has a tree in front of her house. There is no need or room for another one. City Hall told her and her lawyer that they cannot stop the planting of this tree.
Why is it that every jack*ss thinks that everyone welcomes a tree?
"A Mind Strong Back Is A Terrible Thing To Waste"
the ignorance is staggering.
what's next on the presidential gifts to foreign dignitaries list?
Unlike us, Israel does not want to be invaded by the varmets of the work. They need to check it for bugs.
Probably snuck some kudzu in with the tree. But couldn’t get it past BIbi.
Interesting symbolism. I wish that were true in many different ways.
