The "U" is for "unemployment".
Calling himself an "underdog," President Obama today said the faltering economy is a drag on his presidency and seriously impairing his chances of winning again in 2012.
"Absolutely," he said in response to a question from ABC News' George Stephanopoulos about whether the odds were against him come November 2012, given the economy. "I'm used to being the underdog. But at the end of the day people are going to ask -- who's got a vision?"
Do you really get to claim "underdog" status if you're the incumbent? I mean, if you screw the pooch so badly that no one wants to re-elect you, that's not an "underdog", that's a "throw the bum out"! At the "end of the day", people are going to ask if they are better off than they were four years ago. Their "vision" will be of sending Barry and Michelle back to Chicago.

0 is not an underdog - he's a BLUNDERDOG! He is the poster boy for the ultimate blunderdog, as far as I'm concerned. By the way, great photoshop of the Kenyan emperor!
ReplyDelete"Blunderdog". I like that, too! Thanks! I just hoped the p'shop wouldn't be too flattering to the Narcissist-in-Chief.
