Citing the need to counter the “baleful influence” of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s bus tour, the Obama Administration announced that the President will soon embark upon his own “Jobs for America” bus tour.
One objective of the tour will be an attempt to build popular support for another extension of unemployment benefits. “Unemployment compensation is a key component of the President’s program for a transformed America,” said Press Secretary Jay Carney. “Not everyone who is out of work can find a job. Nor should we expect them to. The notion that every person ought to be required to support himself is an anachronism. We may have to reconcile ourselves to accommodating a tenth of the workforce being permanently unemployed. Other countries have done this. To make this more bearable it is essential that the unemployed be able to rely on the government for sustenance.”
Unlike Palin’s bus tour, Obama’s will be funded by taxpayers—a fact that Carney found boast-worthy. “Voters should consider the differences between the President and this leading ‘wanna be,’” Carney urged. “Do they want to back someone who impetuously resigns her government position and then has to pay for her own travel? Or do they prefer someone who has the sense to let the government pick up the tab?”
The prospect that the President’s bus tour is likely to boost campaign donations for his reelection bid was deemed “gravy” by Carney. “I should think the President’s enemies would be pleased that he will be seeking private donations for his reelection during this trip,” Carney said. “After all, he could issue an Executive Order appropriating funds for his reelection campaign from the federal treasury if he wanted to.”

Palin needs to tail him in her bus to fix the things he breaks on the way.
They should play the theme song to “Welcome Back Carter” when he arrives..maybe he can explain to the American people how come he is the 1st President in American History to ever have a credit downgrade..I’d compare this guy to Carter but not even Carter had a downgrade
No doubt a lot of Obama supporters rejoice at the downgrade. Only those “evil” wealthy countries have a Triple A rating.
As long as his supporters get free money from sitting on their asses and free food they will continue to support him
It took a minute ... LOL!
Great one, as usual!
Is he going to tour ALL 57 states? Wow, that will be quite an accomplishment!!!
Throw America Under the Bus Campaign Tour.
I hope no one “eggs” the bus. It would be such a embarrassing moment.
“baleful influence” - perfect reflection of Obama's attitude. Well done, yet again, John.
Water balloons filled with pureed pees!
Wouldn’t it be neat if a bunch of non-communist concerned citizen showed up around the bus during the tour. Say maybe 250,000 concerned citizens? You know like a 2009 march on DC.e will be sent out or will it be a surprise tour?
I want to see 5,000 cars show up and all break down along his route.
Especially GM cars. All refusing to run.
The ‘BUS STOPS HERE’ tour.
Good one - FUNNY! .......................................... FRegards
F&F reported that the Secret Service ordered two bullet-proof buses for the tour. Can you imagine how much that’s gonna cost?
