    Audacity of Dope: Tales of a Toking Teenage Obama

    We knew Barack Obama smoked weed in high school because he wrote about it in his books. What we didn’t know until Buzzfeed posted these choice nuggets (I’m so sorry) from David Maraniss’s new book on the President’s younger years, is the giggle-worthy details of his “Choom Gang” lifestyle, which are right out of a buddy stoner flick. Obama and his friends drove around the lush Hawaii countryside, hot-boxing their VW bus and re-upping with a long-haired pizza-tossing dealer named Ray, who Obama thanked in his yearbook “for all the good times.”

    Obama Stumbles? Why the President’s Right to Talk About Bain

    The meme of the day in journo-world is that President Obama has stumbled at the outset of the general election campaign. The evidence for this? Well, uh, there isn’t very much, really–except that a few Democrats have criticized his campaign’s attacks on Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital and that Obama’s fundraising is merely humongous, instead of obscenely humongous. The two phenomena are linked, of course: Obama isn’t getting the usual haul from Wall Street because he has outrageously–outrageously!–tried to regulate the bankers who did so much to crash the economy in 2008. The handful of Democrats squawking are people who either (a) get money from private equity firms or (b) have retired and joined Mondo Casino. But there is another side to this story:

    Ah yes, I see now how the tax cuts have effected the foundation of the universe. Ending them could have cataclysmic consequences! The fabric of space and time could rip if we steal too many electrons.

    Slam Dunk for Obama’s next Nobel Prize…
    .
    …this one in medicine. He has just discovered the Gay Gene, the Right Winger gene, the Flaming Liberal gene, the Muslim gene, and others that control our behaviors (including the Smoking gene, which makes Obama giddy with delight)….
    …oh wow, the R’s are dead wrong here: there is no personal responsibility. We’re designed by nature (or God) to behave in certain ways and can’t help ourselves. So blame God for the Gays, RW’ers. Good luck.

    Well, crap. Obama was trying to prove his DNA is American for upcoming R hearing and impeachment. Alas, he found he carries that alien arsenic-laced DNA found in California. Thus, he really is an alien. Better stall for time in the Senate.

  • deconstructiva

    Obama watches the mitochondria arrange themselves to spell out messages, much to his amazement:
    “Call their bluff. Let the tax cuts expire.”
    “Make Mitch and Rand shut down the govt.”
    “Next time try the public option, ding dong.”
    “Watch your ass. Hillary is lying. She’s going for it in ’12.”

    Yes, Mr. President, that is the mutant cell savaging the left wing of your party. Strangely, we only see this disorder in liberals and it is, I am afraid, neurological. Surgery is our only option and though it is controversial, a prefrontal lobotomy appears to be our only option. It can cause harmful personality changes, but then again…they ARE liberal, so we expect little change in their often bizarre behavior.

  • nflfoghorn

    What are they gonna impeach him on? Not rolling over ENOUGH???

    Wait a minute…if I focus just right I can pinch the tweezers to get that last…drag…right….here.

    Probably the birth certificate thingy. Of course, he has ‘em from US, Hawaii, Kenya, Indonesia, etc. His paper trail beats that of most everyone. The R’s better have a persuasive prosecuter.

    ?
    It sounds like you believe we have inflation not deflation or you are saying that an export promoting weaker dollar is a bad thing.
    .
    Or, maybe, you are saying that Obama has done a wonderful job of weakening the dollar to help exports and discourage imports.

    Obama found the part of the budget the Tea Party can cut without pissing everybody off.

  • http://patricksartor.wordpress.com patricksartor

    As a compromise with the Tea Party, Obama gets to look at Sarah Palin’s breasts.

    So that’s what a spine looks like! I just thought mine would be larger.
