Obama looks back to first job as ice-cream scooper

The Hill ^

[CrazyIvan]

Was it scooping ice cream or packing fudge?

[CharleysPride]

“Brutal on the Wrists”

Funny, I would have thought him flexible there..

[joethedrummer]

When did he have that job, just prior to his Senate term?

[MarvinStinson]

This is wonderfully heartwarming.

He is such a great guy!

[Dr. Sivana]

It would’ve been MUCH better to be remembered as “that nice man who sold us an ice cream when we visited Hawaii” instead of “The guy who ruined the best country on earth”.

So, how can we find the parallel universe where Fidel Castro was a decent pitcher for the Yankees, Ad Hitler was a hack painter who nonetheless found a following, Obama is a Baskin-Robbins Assistant Manager in Hawaii, Reagan won the conventin in 1968 and wound up being president in 1969 and Ringo Starr turns down an oppotunity to play drums for a ragtag band in Hamburg?

[Buckeye McFrog]

First job? Hell, it was his only REAL job.

[Rashputin]

Spit on a scoop for white folks every chance he got just like Jessie Jackson spit on the food when he worked at the Jack Tar in Greenville, too.

"...his first job as an ice-cream scooper

....probably made a mess of that also....even then he took from another what wasn't his to give......

[RavenLooneyToon]

Bottomless cones to some, charged others three times as much.

That is a great alternate universe!

Charles Manson becomes one of the Monkees.

Sharon Tate's daughter finds a cure for cancer.

Nancy Pelosi is the lunch lady at a parochial school.

Harry Reid works in a coal mine.

Al Gore works at a hardware store as the guy who brings the carts in.

[AppyPappy]

How did he get a job without a Social Security Number?

[Secret Agent Man]

He said the free scoops were to himself.

[Sacajaweau]

I think that’s called stealing.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

You know you may be right. It appears that he could not even succeed in that job. Indeed he was even corrupt in giving another’s property away.

It was a difficult job due to the high temperatures in Kenya.

[Slyfox]

Is there something about Bernie we don't know?

[SoFloFreeper]

probably screwed that one up too.

[JoeProBono]

[TnTnTn]

That is what he should still be doing, stealing ice cream to give to freeloaders instead of stealing trillions to give to freeloaders.

[Iron Munro]

As an ice cream scooper trainee, young Barack would often
daydream of the exciting future his first job could lead to.....
