(Rat) Rats Prove Obama is Focused
US News and World Report ^ | October 23, 2009 | Paul Bedard

Don't question President Obama's focus. Consider: For his upcoming book Inside Obama's Brain, author Sasha Abramsky talked to many Obama friends and found this story. In Chicago, Obama started at a law firm located next to a Thai restaurant with a vermin problem. One day, during a meeting, Obama took a call as two rats entered the room. One ran up his leg. Firm partner Judson Miner tells Abramsky, "While we were all distracted by the rats, he focused on his conversation, finished his conversation, and then picked up on the conversation that we were having about the rats."

So he was so self-absorbed that he was blind to what was going on around him?

Wassa matter? Zero can’t do more than one thing at a time?

Oh. So THAT’S the problem with Afghanistan. Golf or War? Campaigning for Deeds or War? WH Dog’s Bday or War?

Blech.....

In Indonesia, rats are house pets?

More of the “I killed 7 flies with one stroke” mythmaking.

Did he find any stories about Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers?

A tourist walked into a Chinese curio shop in San Francisco. While looking around at the exotic merchandise, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized, bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but was so incredibly striking the tourist decided he must have it. He took it to the old shop owner and asked, “How much for the bronze rat?”

“Ahhh, you have chosen wisely! It is $12 for the rat, $100 for the story,” said the wise old Chinese man. The tourist quickly pulled out twelve dollars. “I’ll just take the rat, you can keep the story.”

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, the tourist noticed that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and had begun following him down the street. This was a bit disconcerting so he began walking faster.

A couple blocks later he looked behind him and saw to his horror the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing.

Sweating now, the tourist began to trot toward the Bay. Again, after a couple blocks, he looked around only to discover that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward him faster and faster.

Terrified, he ran to the edge of the Bay and threw the bronze rat as far as he could into the Bay.

Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after the bronze rat, and were all drowned.

The man walked back to the curio shop in Chinatown.

“Ahhh,” said the owner, “You have come back for story?”

“No sir,” said the man, “I came back to see if you have a bronze Obama.”

Like I believe any type of bull-Obama about the loon.

The guy isn’t smart. He isn’t clever.

He’s a loon, pure and simple.

Put him up against Limbaugh - sans the TOTUS, and see true slaughter.

This story is without a doubt the manifestation of a rosey cheeked Liberal idiot of the same sort that loves to lead ol’ folks in singing row, row, row, your boat at some shared existence place.

Liberalism is a mental disorder the effect being defective life forms be heard as well be seen.

It’s a terrible thing for our culture as it causes those not infected to turn away from the site and the sound of those infected, thus allows it to grow like a Chia head.

A rat ran up his leg?

Maybe that was the “tingle” Chrissy the Sissy felt!
