Make something out of this Barack .....the girl is a Republican (I can tell)

I thought he’d only been at it for two weeks but apparently it’s a longstanding thing. See, “D” stands for “Democrats” but it also stands for “drive,” and that’s what you want to be doing when you’re in a car. Whereas “R” stands for both “Republican” and “reverse,” and no one wants to be doing that. So there you go. You’re now set for the midterms.
Remember: Crushing deficits and near-double-digit unemployment = drive. Wingnut = reverse.
It has since become the Mr. Potato Head of campaign stump speech metaphors.
The president keeps expanding on it. This week, as he repeated it at fundraisers across the country, it continued to balloon into several paragraphs and with bells and whistles tacked on in all directions.
Obama changes features around. He introduces new characters. He adds new props. The other day he decided Republicans were sipping Slurpees as they watched Democrats dig out the car. (Incidentally, Obama is the only president to ever use the word “Slurpee” in a speech, according to the archives of The American Presidency Project)…

That was exactly what I said the first time I heard this joke. I said, "Okay, so you're facing a cliff and all the other lemmings are in Drive. What do you do?"
In one speech, he actually said something about being on the edge of a cliff and why would we want to put the car in “reverse” or something.
Obama is proof you can’t drive very far if you can’t take your eyes off the mirror.
“The first time I heard Obama say this, it was cute. I had to give him that much. Now that he’s repeating it over and over, it’s just sophomoric.”
The way he does this is just creepy. He test drives a Volt then talks about driving repeatedly. He talked about taking the family out for “ice cream” while bashing Arizona. Now every other time you see 0bama and his brood they have ice cream in their gobs. There is something not right about him. He reminds me of the robotic Paula Prentiss character in the (original) “Stepford Wives” movie after she was stabbed in the gut. (Jim’s W)
He’s deliberately driving off the cliff like Thelma and Louise at the end of their movie.
There aren’t enough cute metaphors to save the Democrats. It turns out all they had was hip language and snarky personal attacks.
Everything they did, they got from Bush, only not as well. Bush wasn’t dumb enough to try to foist healthcare off on us.
Indeed his car metaphor sounds like he’s talking to nine year olds.
That's because our "Ship of State" is sinking with him at the helm.
What a fool. Go ahead obama, roll with it!
Obama must be fascinated with cars for the same reason that terrorist Muslims are fascinated with jetliners -
the culture they grew up in has no hope of ever producing either one.
I’d gladly reverse back to 5.5% unemployment. A big problem with obama is that he’s trying to blame Bush for today’s high unemployment when in fact the unemployment rate didn’t spike until the very end of the Bush Presidency and it was a direct result of the financial collapse. Not to mention that the rats controlled congress the last 2 years he was in office. After 9/11 the economy was in a shambles. Bush policies brought us back from the brink rather quickly. Obama can’t admit his policies failed and change course for the good of the country. That is why he is not viewed as a “leader”.
I have been a LONG time lurker and this one takes the cake. I’m from Missouri and yes, when we want to go forward we do put it in “D”; until the knucklehead who is driving gets the car stuck up to the axles in the mud and can’t go any further because the momentum can’t carry us any further, then we put it in “R” to back us out of trouble...I think he should have put it in “p” for putz...
