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!
LMAO
I mean, a really, really good morning to you! It is such a distinct pleasure to be in your company and ...
*Cough*
Hairball. This is tougher than I thought ...
Big tree-huggers in CA are obsequoias...

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+++
I like to make him bow down after the election. Can’t come soon enough. I bet his ego takes a huge hit when that happens. A+++
It’s a right of passage. No getting out of it. A+++
Obumbum’s obsequious manners towards foreign leaders is nauseating to Americans and has earned him no respect from foreigners.
I dream of the day when a candidate goes to the NAACP and gives a speech on the economy or foreign policy. Romney should just treat them like Americans and give a speech explaining how he is going to revive the economy. Explain how this improves the lives of all, if he must.
Actually challenging them to change the attitudes in their communities about work and studying and responsibility would be too much.
Now that is a clever one, again. lol
Do they have absolutely no morals or sense in NYC? Or is the city filled with childless people who don’t worry if a child visiting from somewhere else sees naked adults? I don’t understand why this isn’t bordering on a sex crime - like flashing.
I think it makes them look down on him, and us by extension. A+++
Spot on.
A+++ He got it backasswords, doesn’t he? A+++
Perfect! LOL
Obungle’s prior obsequious behaviors led to cartoons depicting him as bowing to the Burger King.
bingo
I have taken my young children into the city to visit my sister over the years. What we saw, though no nudity, was appalling. We all got an education in humanity’s depravity. My biggest memory for the World Trade Center was on the sidewalk outside the main doors, when a homeless man just sits right down about 3ft outside the main doors. He took of his show to show half a foot, an unhealthy looking one at that. People averted their eyes and walked wide around them hurrying on their way. My sister and I had to grab four kids and hustle them into the building before he looked up and took offense at one of them staring. Every one of my kids still remembers him. I am pretty sure they amputated more of that foot, either that or the infection killed him. The crazies were everywhere. If you looked at them they would come right at you. Scary.
LOL too funny. A+++
Crazy azz people.
I did some work in San Fran in the late 90s. That was a freak show on the ride in every morning.
I’d Probably Call Rush Limbaugh Instead
Looks more like McCain was. McCain certainly was obsequious of Obama during the last election. A+++
I think my wife recorded Bristol’s reality show last night.
OMG why???
and i LMAO at FIFTY SHADES OF GROSS. not for the faint of heart... ; )

you weren’t kidding. gag me.
Breezy and cloudy today-hope it rains-
The depth of Holder’s problem
Appears to have become double-
But being obsequoius with Issa
Might have saved him the trouble
Of looking so damn guilty that
Obama’s desperate protection
Has set his AG up for everyone
To make the coverup connection
He’s too cluelerss to understand
If stuff like this needs fixin’
The playbook to consult belongs
To Clinton rather than Nixon...
I heard the guys on Fox news this morning using the “W” word loud and clear-all that is missing are the WH “plumbers” and some tapes/e-mails...
