Yes, Obama can find the library, the most expensive eating establishments, five star golf courses and any celebrity willing to pose for a picture or hand over some money, but he has yet to find sound policy.

The Lost John Lennon Interview
"Power to the People"

TA (interviewer): In a way you were even thinking about politics when you seemed to be knocking revolution?

JL (Lennon): Ah, sure, 'Revolution' . There were two versions of that song but the underground left only picked up on the one that said 'count me out'. The original version which ends up on the LP said 'count me in' too; I put in both because I wasn't sure. There was a third version that was just abstract, musique concrete, kind of loops and that, people screaming. I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution--but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.

On the version released as a single I said 'when you talk about destruction you can count me out'. I didn't want to get killed. I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off. I just thought it was unsubtle, you know. I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it. That was how I felt--I was really asking a question. As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.

The old “Never wrestle with a pig” witticism applies here.

He’s a whacker ....

[rawhide]

You nailed it—he’s an idiot!

[fire4effect]

Why should he apologize — his host laughed along side him when he made the remark. He has the approval of the president of the united states.

President Bush didn’t NEED to know where the library was, he had folks to get reading material for him.

0bama (ptui) *might* know where the library is, but President Bush can READ!

[SkyDancer]

No, Whacker .. it’s Aussie lingo for Idiot; somebody who talks drivel; somebody with whom you have little patience; a dickhead

[muawiyah]

Paul imagines that Obama will eat him last.

[AndrewB]

Oh, like a git.

[SkyDancer]

Zactly ‘cept Git is English not Aussie ... git meaning contemptible, silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, or childish person. But pretty much the same ....

I have a joke for Macca: You are a great songwriter.

[IceAge]

Yeah, butttt, he didn’t mean that either, remember, he’s just joking!

[Northern Yankee]

Dear Paul... You stink. John was better.

[marajade]

Just like Lennon saying the Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ right? s/

You reminded me of this:

A guy traveling through Mexico country region on vacation lost his wallet and all of his identification. Cutting his trip short, he attempted to make his way home but was stopped by the U.S. Customs Agent at the border.
“May I see your identification, please?” asked the agent.
“I’m sorry, but I lost my wallet,” replied the guy.

“Sure buddy, I hear that every day. No ID, no entry,” said the agent.

“But I can prove I’m an American he exclaimed. “I have a picture of
Ronald Reagan tattooed on one side of my butt and George Bush on the other.”

“This I gotta see,” replied the agent.

With that, the guy dropped his pants and showed the agent his behind.

“By golly, you’re right! “exclaimed the agent. “Have a safe trip back to Chicago .”

“Thanks!” he said. “But how did you know I was from Chicago ?”

The agent replied, “I recognized Obama in the middle.”

[Northern Yankee]

A dickhead... Sounds good to me.
