President McDreamy! President McDreamy! Over here! Over here!
Yes. Thank you. My question is this: how do you know that if we don’t keep throwing (my) money at these large corporations, that life as we know it will end?
I mean, I know you’re a smarty pants and all, and I’m sure you’ve got some pretty intelligent people around you (atch-yeahrightlikeGeitner-choo!), but what assurances can you give me that the folding of AIG will bring death and destruction to us all?
Uh-huh. So would you say that you’re sure about that? I mean, as sure as you were that bonuses wouldn’t be paid to execs? On a scale of one to ten?
I know about the deficit you inherited- from your own party (ehem). But don’t you think it a little premature to project a halving of that deficit by the end of your first term? I’m no Geitner, but even I know that you can’t reduce your debt by buying more stuff.
Yeah, yeah, infrastructure. Which is great. We can absolutely use better roads and buildings, and I’m sure the watershed authority in my draught-ridden state will be joyfully proclaiming your name. But let’s be honest- how much of that loose change will go directly to infrastructure, and how much of it went to little weekend estates on Martha’s Vineyard?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m SO glad I’m now a stakeholder in several car companies, insurance agencies and banks. Makes me feel like Rockefeller.
So ante up, Mr. President. How does one summon the storm and profess to control the waves?
Pretty sure there was only one person who could do that.
And you’re not him.
Good Lord.
President McDreamy needs twenty-eight $400 million helicopters. With kitchens.
(Insert snarky comment here. If you’ve read me for very long, you can probably guess what I’d say).
The MessiObama promises to cut the debt in half after the largest spending spree in the history of history.
Since he’s more popular than Jesus, I’m just waiting to see how this plays out.
Not holding my breath.
In the face of the many deaths in Kentucky, Mr. Obama turns up the theromostat (leading by example).
Here’s hoping maybe he’ll do a flyover soon.
Once the margaritas are served, that is.

O Lord, Whose power is infinite and wisdom infallible, order things that they may neither hinder, nor discourage him, nor prove obstacles to the progress of Thy cause. Stand between him and all strife, that no evil befall, no sin corrupt his gifts, zeal, attainments. May he follow duty and not any foolish device of his own. Permit him not to labour at work which Thou wilt not bless, that he may serve thee without disgrace or debt. Let him dwell in Thy most secret place under thy shadow, where is safe impenetrable protection from the arrow that flieth by day, the pestilence that walketh in darkness, the strife of tongues, the malice of ill-will, the hurt of unkind talk, the snares of company, the perils of youth, the temptations of middle life, the mournings of old age, the fear of death. May he be entirely dependent upon Thee for support, counsel, consolation. Uphold him by Thy free Spirit, and may he not think it enough to be preserved from falling, but may he always go forward, always abounding in the work Thou givest him to do. Strengthen him by Thy Spirit in his inner self for every purpose of his Christian life. May he give all his jewels to the shadow of the safety that is in Thee—his name anew in Christ, his body, soul, talents, character, his success, wife, children, friends, work, his present, his future, his end. Take them, may they be Thine, and may he be thine, now and for ever.
