Apparently, in Obama's youth, dog bites man wasn't all that interesting, but boy eats dog is stuck on him for the rest of his life...

Obama delighted the masses,
Had smarter folk raising their glasses -
His high-toned sense of wit
Caused a Republican fit -
While their candidates sit on their asses...

I wonder if Ed is going to play the clip of Jimmy Kimmel talking about the president's promise for a better tomorrow?....when he was campaigning... "That was hilarious" said Kimmel. He was as Ed says "spot on".

Just as hilarious as bush making a joke about finding those WMD. That 'joke' on the American people cost us 5,000 lives plus billions of tax dollars and made bush a war criminal.

hey johnny,

you DO know what kimmel was referring to (your quote above post #3).

he was referring to the filibustering obstructionists repubs.

what you all seem to forget is that everyone in washington has a job to do, not just the President. the repubs complain about President Obama not being a leader, 'oh god, help us. how can we follow when President Obama isn't leading? how do we know the right thing to do without our great leader W. bush"?

bush led, and they followed like sheep, just like a good flock would do. now they deny that they had anything to do with the mess our country is in.

all of a sudden they are concerned about the deficit. all of a sudden they are concerned about the size of gov't. all of a sudden they are concerned about spending.

this is brand new for the repub party, because when bush was president they DID ALL THE THINGS (ON STEROIDS) THAT THEY ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT TODAY. they have no idea how we got into this financial disaster, they are confused and blaming the President (sorta like the individual mandate, a repub idea, which was constitutional before it was unconstitutional).

the hypocritical repub party-do as i say, not as i do.
