Yeah fuck you too, thenSO THE HOUSE WILL VOTE IN… JUNE? “President Obama will not go on his already delayed trip to Indonesia, Australia and Guam this weekend, preferring to stay in Washington to see health care through, the White House said today. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced that Obama will postpone the trip until June and that he phoned the leaders of those nations to express his regret but to say that the health care vote was too important to be out of town.” [TPM]

They have phones in Indonesia?

March Madness, baby!

Good one Barack; I am still working on my excuse.

Uh-oh, now the Guam will really hit the fan.

Send Joe “yo mamma’s dead” Biden instead.

But when is the Senate going to vote on the whole damn thing? I’ve got beer riding on this, for chrissakes.

Suds McKenzie March 18, 2010 at 1:58 pm

Plus, he’s playing in The Masters.

Well surely you don’t expect House members to be voting during the Cherry Tree Festival. And then late spring is equally enchanting, very hard to work, the mind wanders to seersucker suits and dancing on pavilions to the soft hum of crickets. This is followed by exhausting bouts of sex in large groups, usually, when the nighttime zephyrs blow just right. Then there’s the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the national pastime is upon us, hell they’re even called The Nationals, for fuck’s sake. And as the spring thaw gives way to the gaudy parade of flowers and beguilement of fragrance in the morning dew, the sun warming us all in it’s embrace which harkens forgiveness, the effluvience of the cultural sphere becomes appreciated more fully. Time must be devoted to the glories of art and performance, which the prosaic call of policy would hinder.

So, yeah, June works for me.

Obama obviously hates Australian people almost as much as he hates the Jews. And he obviously didn’t want to go to Indonesia lest his Real Birf Surrtifycut fall out of his statue at the wrong moment. He’s worse than Hitler!!11!!!

The President of Guam will be especially upset to learn that Barack Obama will not be visiting himself.

Hooray For Anything March 18, 2010 at 2:03 pm

Will he be able to get a refund on those plane tickets or does he just have to suck it up and buy new ones?

Extemporanus March 18, 2010 at 2:05 pm

This is really a shame — Obama’s driver has been practicing for the trip all month.

mollymcguire March 18, 2010 at 2:09 pm

The President will be sorry when he realizes that he’ll be missing out on a dinner of Marianas Fruit Bat garnished with Tinian Hot Peppers.

artpepper March 18, 2010 at 2:13 pm

This gives CNN more time to locate Guam on a map.

Extemporanus March 18, 2010 at 2:18 pm

[re=533148]Buzz Feedback[/re]: They have one phone in Indonesia, and a line of 228,248,538 people
waiting to use it.

(Oops! Make that 228,248,537 — I counted one dude twice.)

Let the whipping continue! Whip those congresscritters until they are bloody, Nancy.

Obama wants to watch.

Cape Clod March 18, 2010 at 2:34 pm

And those little future terrorists at that madrassa that Obama grew up in spent all week making macaroni art on paper plates depicting people falling out of buildings on 9/11. The man should be ashamed of himself!

ALIVE! March 18, 2010 at 2:36 pm

Clearly Barack Obama is no George W. Bush. Why, Bush was able to wreck the economy, sell the country a war on phony evidence, give away tax cuts to his ‘base,’ and take away all our civil liberties, all from his vacation home in Crawford. Why can’t Obama pass a single bill from his cell phone while in Oz?

Jim, this was the most fucked up title I have ever read. The moment this headline hit my twitterz, I nearly went full on veins popping out my skull, scorched earth, hulk smash rage-a-thon.

My reaction was JUNE?! FUCKING JUNE?! THEY NEED FIVE MORE VOTES AND THEY’RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL JUNE????

Oh, it’s just Wonkette being cute.

Fuckers.

You know who else liked exhausting bouts of sex in large groups,usually?

Elephants Gerald March 18, 2010 at 3:21 pm

[re=533176]Extemporanus[/re]: I keep clicking your links because I figure that you or the internet will eventuall run out of pervy and/or redheaded images. You did not disappoint. Classic.

I will print and put up on my wall next to the “Obama escorts the Bushes to the flight back to Crawford.”

[re=533280]Oblios Cap[/re]: Tommy Tune?

I’m thinking Freddie Mercury.

Extemporanus March 18, 2010 at 4:19 pm

[re=533292]Elephants Gerald[/re]: I probably shouldn’t admit this, but all internet images are run past me for approval before being posted. I tried outsourcing some of the work overseas, and the next thing I knew, “LOLcat” pics were fucking everywhere. Trust me, I’ll never make that mistake again!

Oh, and here’s a funny foto of Barack “Rickety Rickshaw” Obama in happier times.

Long Form Def Certificate March 18, 2010 at 4:32 pm

[re=533191]Extemporanus[/re]: It is, in fact, the most populace predominantly (almost exclusively) Muslim country in the world. & most of them don’t wear Huggies on their heads, nor eat lamb.

What. The. Fuck.
