One time, Hillary had walked in on him in the Oval Office — no, not that time — and caught him listening to Rush.

Oh, this humor column is about Obama -- so this comment I posted at the end of the previous dead thread is more appropriate here! Sorry for the repost if you've already seen it:
--------
In case anyone cares, I just added the final touch to my "Obama Visits Billionaires Row" report -- a video of Obama's motorcade arriving.
I also updated the report with the just-confirmed info that O's "bitter small-town Americans" speech was actually given about an hour afterwards and just a few blocks away at a different but very similar swanky fundraiser.
And I fixed a couple captions.
Full report here for those who missed it first time around.

Besides, the party needed somebody to reach out to regular folks, somebody who could talk the talk, because Barry sure couldn’t do it. Man ate fried chicken with a napkin wrapped abound the leg so he didn’t get grease on his fingers. He had seen him do it. President Daintyfingers and Princess Ticked-Off.
Oh, that's just too much.

What is scary is that some of that stuff will come true if the Obamamessiah gets in. The military will be destroyed as one of his first acts I am sure. He can't do it without Congress, but hey, with him in, they don't need to worry about a veto proof majority.

No justice. Hillary was a New York senator for life, and last week he was asked to show I.D. before they’d cash his check at the Baskin Robbins in Martha’s Vineyard. Meanwhile, George W., a.k.a., the luckiest man alive, lounged around his oceanfront hacienda in Mexico, fished for marlin, and blasted around the blue Pacific in his speedboat. Nights, he and Laura, who still looked hot hot hot, watched his baseball team, the Monterey Reconquistas. No problemo for that hombre. George W.’s biggest concern was that Dan Rather was going to go off his meds again, coming ashore in a wetsuit and flippers, holding a conch shell aloft and screaming he had finally found the evidence. If the facts don’t fit, you must acquit, Danno.
Heh.

And the scary thing is that an Obama presidency could result in many of the things noted here.

Unfortunately, yes, it could. Not like this stuff hasn't happened before. In this, Obama would be following another president. No, not Jimmy Carter. He'd be following Woodrow Wilson.
Under Wilson, a lot of things were renamed (liberty cabbage, anyone?), and there was a lack of freedom of the press. People were put in jail for printing opinions that were contrary to the government and critised the war (WWI).

To quote unreconstructed rebel, 'don't take me too seriously'! I just meant that if the Ferrigno story were to come true, maybe someday the writings of Charles and his followers could be used to help resurrect the nation. The way they're shredding the constitution now makes one fear there will be very little of it left soon. Again, not to be toooo serious. I'm really a glass- half-full guy.
