Obama has taken a valetudinarian attitude about his first term, he thinks he failed to tell the story right. Mitt Romney nailed it when he said that Obama's failure in job creation is the problem. Obama's policies have not created jobs. None, nada, zip.

Obama: My Biggest Mistake Was Not 'Telling a Story'

115 days till we throw the bum out! IF Obama thinks it’s hot this summer, wait till he simmers on election night as the final polls are taken.

The character “Mrs. Snow” from Pollyanna comes to mind...

P: “I’ll come back tomorrow!”
Mrs: “If I’m not dead by then...”

Right! Remember this: “Ya hear that Elizabeth? I’m coming to join ya!”..as he grabs his chest.

The big secret hidden in Obama's college transcripts? He wasn't the class valedictorian; rather, he was the class valetudinarian.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Michelle 0bama patterned her look after Aunt Esther,

though MO would inherently reject Esther’s faith.

CA cannot be described as value -tudinarian. They waste tax dollars faster than a hooker fakes an orgasm.

Joe Biden is valetudinarian in the head. Did I just read where he told the NAACP that “blacks should be educated to the extent they are educable”? Does that sound demeaning to anyone else? Methinks ol’ Joe was educated beyond the point he was educable.

[tioga]

I think Biden confuses them. Look what happened with Obama, he called him a clean black man and gets to be VP? Makes no sense, unless Obama was too dim a bulb to get it. A++

[tioga]

A++ Obama is something else indeed.

As Valetudinarian Percy had to give a speech at my high school parole hearing, also known as “graduation”. Everyone at Clemency High said Percy had a great attitude and some value to someone somewhere and so was a Valetudinarian in spite of looking kinda sickly.

I used to think my sister-in-law was a hypochondriac, but now I realize she is a valetudinarian.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Obama feels valetudinarian
Call a doc, wait! a veterinarian
‘cause his record’s a dog
No pluses to catalog
Since he’s naught but a platitudinarian

I still think the hair plugs damaged his brain.

Right! Remember this: “Ya hear that Elizabeth? I’m coming to join ya!”..as he grabs his chest.

I loved Sanford and Son.

As Redd said:
"Beauty is skin deep but ugly goes all the way to the bone."

[xsmommy]

I don’t think he said blacks but rather youth/kids. Marginally less racist.

[secret garden]

But the fact remains, he is a moron, on stilts.

[xsmommy]

That is incontrovertible fact right there.
