Maybe he’ll open the SOTU with this!
All part of “bringing fundamental change to Amerikkka.”
Well,the bacon thing makes alot of sense.
you can’t fill your tank with bacon to fly and drive to the golf course.
Yes, but it’s evidently not newsworthy. It’s never mentioned at all it seems...
Sad thing is that none of our candidates will engage in kitchen table politics.
If they did, they would get a huge following.

Actually, Barry was sworn into the Senate in Jan. 2005. Of course, that’s also when he emphatically denied that he would be running for POTUS in 2008.

Mooch has packed on a few pounds too...
I recall that fool Al Gore with his “Everything that should be down is up! And everything that should be up is down!” mantra. Yes, it was silly (particularly his delivery of said lines) but it did stick. I think Newt has the guts to throw these figures into our Dear Leader’s face. Obummer can say whatever he wants, but Americans still vote their pocketbook and every time folks drive by a gas station and see the price going up-—well, everything that should be down is up......
Too bad Bush isn’t still President: the “unbiased” media would be all over this.
