Back in early February, before President Obama failed at everything (life), it seemed he could heal the lame and the halt simply by looking at them and saying in a dignified manner, “the stakes are too high.” For example, at a rally in Ft. Myers, he magically transformed the lives of two (2) paupers just by calling on them when they raised their hands.

One was some guy who worked at McDonald’s, and after he spoke to President Obama, he did not have to work at McDonald’s anymore.

And then this lady who did not have a house OR a job suddenly got a house (from a Republican’s wife, who will only let her stay in it until the house sells — which, because it’s Florida, will be never), but this poor lady still doesn’t have a job. Why have Barack Obama’s magical powers ceased to have any effect on Florida’s miserable unemployment rate?

What about the wheelchair guy? Don’t tell me he can no longer walk? We’ve been betrayed by a half-breed Muslin!

Florida must struggle against the taint of Drudge, Limbaugh, Jeb Bush, and Gov. Crist. A pox is on the land that the Healer alone cannot remove.
Plus there aren’t any jobs for anyone these days, come on!

Barack Obama is a racist.

I feel for her. Things are shitty as hell right now. I know. I’m looking for a job, too.

SayItWithWookies April 24, 2009 at 5:01 pm

What’s worse is that Alberto Gonzales has a job waiting for him at a nearby license plate factory, and President Obama won’t even think about offering it to him!

I knew he was a fraud….passing himself off as an intelligent, calm, well-spoken president…in America, no less! How dare he!

Nerdalicious April 24, 2009 at 5:03 pm

He was too busy donating all his major organs to me so I could blog, while he was do-gooding, shaking hands & bowing with all the evil doers all over the globe, so his light is a lil dim as of now. He has to charge up then all will be well again. Amen.

Disgusting. Do we need any more proof that Obama should just hand back the Presidency?

A Southern Republican family loaning their house rent-free to an unemployed black woman with an unemployed son?

I repeat, a Southern Republican family loaning their house rent-free to an unemployed black woman with an unemployed son?

Sounds like an Ionesco play…or a political fucking stunt.

Now the PUMAs are having a sad.

2009 Blog Of The Decade Confluence woke up this morning with the delayed realization that continuing to gripe about how Hillary is oppressed by Barry doesn’t actually make a lot of sense after she has been working for him for several months.

http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/my-two-cents/

“PUMA has become a distraction for me. I’m tired of talking about it and I damn sure don’t want to argue about it. I am pessimistic about its future and cynical about its potential.”

How could Obama let this happen?!?

[re=299382]Electric Zen[/re]: She claims she started the PUMA thing? And it’s really “kinda like an organization of anarchists”? She did express fear that we ‘wonktards’ might freep any election they might have to determine the future of the Almighty Movement.

Speaking of people who have exposed the Muslin to be a fraud, the reviews for JtP’s book are in. An instant classic.

WARNING: Gruesome! Apparently, someone (Thomas N. Tabback?) thought it would be a good idea to feature an oozing, infected foreskin on the cover of “Fighting for the American Dream”.

[re=299428]Origami[/re]: I got laid off almost a year ago, when things first started to take a dive but got some contract work in between and haven’t worked a lick since the end of January. Won’t say one way or the other if things are getting better because in my mind, they’re getting better. Also in my mind, I’m married to Salma Hayek, the BSG finale didn’t happen, and the SF Giants will win the World Series so take it for what it’s worth.

No job? Clearly some folks do not consider acting as a microphone stand a ‘job,’ but I think she deserves to be congratulated.

[re=299360]Serolf Divad[/re]: Same here – got laid off a month ago. Turns out I’m UNDERqualified to waitress. Who’d have thought that busting my butt all through college working jobs that actually related to my career, instead of waitressing for the free booze like my classmates, would have been a BAD idea?

Bruno April 24, 2009 at 6:41 pm

I’m really sad because Joe the Plumber still didn’t buy his pseudo-plumbing bizness that would make him $500k per year because the taxes are too high and now he does want pay taxes and is now going Gault. We are being denied the excellent unlicensed services of Joe the Plumber because of Obambi.

Sorry, OT but
[re=299382]Electric Zen[/re]: If you say PUMA is a group of Democrats in exile then you are excluding Independents and Republicans. If you say PUMAs are liberals then you are excluding moderates and conservatives.

How do we decide what definition to use?

How about people who hate the President cause he’s black?

Didn’t everyone doubt King Aragorn (Elessar) at some point in the Lord Of the Rings too? And then, with his kingly powers he healed the sick, shut down Mordor, restored justice to the land, and even got the evil steward’s son a job! Just give him time people. Meanwhile, let us LOTR nerds discuss the many Obama/Aragorn similarities (hint: both were young when their fathers died).

SlipperyDick April 25, 2009 at 10:47 am

If you want a job, you have to buy Obama’s book. It reveals all the secrets you need to know to earn hundreds of thousands a year.

“A Southern Republican family loaning their house rent-free to an unemployed black woman with an unemployed son?”

I’m sure there is a tax writeoff involved. The lady probably sent a Blackberry text message to her Lawyer before she stepped up with her kind offer.
