    A Tale of Two Economies: Mitt Romney vs. Republican Governors

    The great recession has left the state of Ohio battered and bruised–and Mitt Romney would have you believe it’s Barack Obama’s fault. Writing in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer on May 4, Romney advised Ohioans that the President has delivered them “paltry results,” and that their state is in need of “a fundamental change in direction.”

    So now we can expect right-wing bloglodytes to start a new theme – Obama pals around with 2 Live Crew, of “Me So Horny” fame. Says so right there on that suspiciously European ball he’s playing with, doesn’t it?

    Pele never had these moves!

    Maybe try a first kick instead of a first pitch…

    Obama is shown just before he removes his jacket – underneath is his honorary Columbus Crew jersey. He’s walking towards the stadium for a US – Italian Embassy scrimmage and plans to kick Berlusconi’s (rear end) on the field. “If our boys can’t beat Italy then I will.”

    President Obama warms up his headbutt before going into a meeting with John Boehner.

    Does he play soccer like a girl too?

    Enquiring minds want to know…

    FYI, OT, a relevant quote relating to my contentions about the equivalence of the Holocaust and slavery:

    “”I think that the experience of slavery is like the experience of the Holocaust. I think it’s one of those things you don’t forget about. I think it is important that the way we think about it and the way it’s taught is not one in which there’s simply a victim and a victimizer, and that’s the end of the story,”

    If Obama plays soccer like girls such as Abby Wambach, Lindsay Tarpley, or Brandi Chastain he’s in good company. Will he rip off his shirt after winning a scrimmage too? Imagine the media reaction….

    Instead of fixing healthcare, Obama has soccer on his mind…

    alas, the TIME photographer cropped the photo, which originally showed Obama also carrying a second ball in his hands. He is walking toward the Senate chambers to finally give them a pair…

    Watching healthcare get trampled to death reminds Obama of a soccer tournament.

  • deconstructiva

    Obama pondering health care while playing…
    “Hmm, bend it like Baucus?”
    “Soccer is not big here yet, but futbol is huge abroad. And I need billions more for HC reconciliation, as KT explained to me. Therefore, if we tax all foreigners abroad playing soccer / futbol, oh yeah…”
    “Hmm, if I kick winning goal in this afternoon’s match, I rip my shirt off, and photographers capture that moment and Republican fainting reactions, this could work. I’ll autograph the pics and sell them on eBay. That should raise enough for reconciliation….”

    I’m pretty good at hoops, lousy at bowling and throw a baseball like a girl. Should I try my hand at soccer?

    Finally, Americans are able to recognize someone playing with a soccer ball.

    This must be a no-news day!

    How sexist? I know a lot of girls that would kick your A$$ for saying they throw like that!
    On the realz…in the battle of the presidents “throws like a girl” beats “starts an unjust war”.
