The bloom is off the freakin rose, huh?

Can’t you imagine Obama in the WH with Michelle, saying ‘But...but they loved it when I talked in front of the columns, and...Tom Brokaw got choked up, and it’s historic, it’s still historic, right, baby? I’m gonna be in the history books and...how come they want me to PAY for this? Don’t they know how little I make now? And I’m, like, people wanna name a DAY after me... How come they don’t just let it slide?’

They should understand, he’s too busy paying back those who didn’t vote for him, to worry about Chicago.

How much did Obamasiah’s trip to Colorado to sign the Porkulus bill cost the American Taxpayer? This man does not care about this nation’s economy being healed.

Chicago has yet to recoup the $1.74 million cost

Good luck, folks. He gave you the privilege of being in your city. Isn't that worth a few million?

Maybe you could apply for some 'stimulus' funds. I imagine obie might not mind paying his debts with OUR money.
