Maraniss Comes Clean on Obama's Seattle Hegira
Obama's grandfather tortured by the British? A fantasy (like most of the President’s own memoir)
The Book: Barack Obama: The Story, by David Maraniss....I have to get this book!
Obsequious. When I looked it up in my dictionary, I found a picture of Chris Matthews staring adoringly at Obama.
Only 138 Days til we vote the lying bum out of office. Time to arm your brains with facts to counter the Obamabots. Win over those independents. Close the deal for ABO.
Pefect. A+++
Please tell me his third lower appendage was not throbbing in your vision. A+++
Sheesh, you know me as well as xs. Yup, I refrained from adding the bit aboutleasuring himself, but trust me, it crossed my mind!

Be courteous, kind, and forgiving
Be gentle and peaceful each day
Be warm and human and grateful
And have a good thing to say
Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike
Be witty and happy and wise
Be honest and love all your neighbors
Be obsequious, purple and clairvoyant
Be sure to stop at stop signs
And drive fifty-five miles an hour
Pick up hitchhikers foaming at the mouth
And when you get home get a master’s degree in geology
Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus
Be dull and boring and omnipresent
Criticize things you don’t know about
Be oblong and have your knees removed
(Ladies only) Never make love to Bigfoot
(Men only) Hello, my name is Bigfoot
(Everyone) Put a live chicken in your underwear
Go into a closet and suck eggs
The mainstream reporter: obsequious
Shows every day just how weak he is
Never challenge the lies
While there are tingles in thighs
Or tell the Naked Emperor what a freak he is
“Golden Dawn” could also be a new breakfast cereal.
I thought that was called “weak-kneeous”.
...it's getting deep in here. A+++
I want to see them next time I am in CA. The trees that is. A+++
Good find. A+++
Excellent. They need to retire the knee pads and remain skeptical. A+++
