Did he find the Obamaloon’s brain whilst he was in the pool? (Of course, this would have required his vision to be capable of locating a shrunken pea with a foul smell whilst he was underwater.)

I bet they are covered for physical harm if they incurred any on the job injuries.

Today is Par-tay Day all day at the White House. Tomorrow, the radioactive 'plume' is expected to hit the US, so the Obamas will leaving the country to seek protection below the equator (and Par-tay there as well).

We all know that this greening of the fountain had nothing to do with St Patty's. It was an early start promoting NBC's Green Week.

What?

Green means go, so don't disrupt the flow by trying to show that green is difficult in any way shape or form.

Are you against America just because we elected an idiot that is out of his realm now?

Why was he IN the fountain to begin with?
I thought it was going to show a slip and fall from the edge INTO the pool.
Govmn’t at work for sure!

Party on!

Afterwards, the President, the Vice President and Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny will attend a St. Patrick’s Day lunch at the United States Capitol. The President’s remarks are closed press. There will be travel pool coverage of the entertainment. Questions about press access for the lunch should be directed to the Speaker’s office.

In the evening, the President and the First Lady will host a St. Patrick’s Day reception in the East Room. The Vice President will also attend. The remarks by the President, the Vice President and Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny will be pooled press.

I’m sure he won’t be the only one to fall into a fountain today.

Waste of money, and ridiculous concept, IMHO.

Shows the mentality of the residents.

WTF? No I'm a Frog who is also a TV and movie star. My stage name is Kermit. You can see me on PBS. I once had a hit record called It's Not Easy Being Green that was nominated for an Oscar.

I sincerely hope that he is using plant-friendly green die in his fountain. Otherwise, this is liable to poison the White House lawn or even, gasp, the DC sewer system.

Has he consulted his experts at the EPA before doing this?

Dyed this morning.

Dyed this morning.

The "Report Abuse" button never looked so tempting.
