They’re Both Batt-y

Big Guy went out to the local Home Depot to put a plug in for home weatherization. He told the crowd that he thinks insulation is “sexy.”

Normally I’d say that was just too much information, but I have to admit, it’s beginning to explain a few things about MO’s wardrobe choices. See what you think:

If you find insulation sexy too, you’ll definitely get off on this video. Don’t worry, it’s not X-rated:

O! It was an insulation suit. I thought it was an electric alligator skin. Interesting.

As for the Home Depot appearance: not sure exactly how Mo might pull off the dependable water heater "look", though the one standing behind Obama appears to be the right size.

Insulation is sexy?

No one on the crack young staff at the White House thought to tell Obama there's a difference between cellulose and cellulite, did they?

WTF is the President of the United States doing at a Home Depot promoting home weatherization? As if this girlie man knows the slightest thing about caulking windows and laying insulation. Geez Louise! People..do you all get the idea that this man will do anything, I mean anything, to get out of The White House?

Do you suppose we'll see him appearing at Williams Sonoma next week to hawk the newest in non stick cookware? How about a stop at Saks to pass out samples of the latest miracle skin cream?

Does this man have nothing better to do with his time?

Is it possible that her eyebrows are tattooed?

-----------------------------------------------

I've been thinking just THAT for a while myself, Cinderella.

I have finally come to this conclusion:

THE GHOSTS OF PRESIDENTS PAST

are haunting this person. He isn't at all like
any of them - not because he's black but be-
cause he's RED - and they don't want him in the
PEOPLE'S HOUSE!!!

His comfort zone? Not above his pay grade?

Obama’s Grade Inflation and a Reality Check

As you may know by now, Obama gave himself a B+ as president. If you haven’t read Bronwyn’s Harbor’s piece with the video clip, you might do so before eating. If you choose to watch after, I won’t answer for any sudden illness.

But what does the country think Obama deserves? CNN did a poll. U.S. citizens aren’t in the mood to grade on the curve. The country gives Obama a C-.


Do go to the CNN site. It is very interesting. As you scroll over each state, you see how people there graded Obama (and Democrats, Republicans, Congress). The most interesting thing I found is that the average grade of “C” is mostly an average of all grades received. Not that many people actually answered “C.”

For example, in Illinois, Obama gets:

A+ 16%
A 12%
A- 5%
B+ 6%
B 6%
B- 3%
C+ 2%
C 3%
C- 4%
—————–

D 13%

F 32%

Responders to the poll could choose from among 9 “passing” grades, from A+ to C-. There were only 2 “below average” grades: D and F. Yet, in Illinois, 45% chose some version of fail or near-fail.

The state with the lowest proportion of “failing grade” responses was Maryland, with 25%. Washington, DC is included in the poll and is even kinder at 17% F.

But take a look at those numbers. There are an awful lot of “Fs” in that data. Interesting.

Remember the Jimmy Carter years, folks? The sweaters? The gas lines? The failed presidency? The Snuggie may become the emblem of this
Zero presidency.

I miss Laura Bush. We never had to worry about her embarrassing the United States or dressing like a fool.

Bettyann,
Oh he's surrounded by alligators, alright. Some of them he even hired.

Mrs. P,
Please. BO graduated Haaa-vard. Or so we're told. Besides, I suppose it's not surprising that he's attracted to sponges: an occupational hazard.

Cinder,
What? You don't think saving America, one chalk job at a time, is important? And who told you about Saks?

BA,
They're real. Scary, no? I'm not saying there aren't other tats; however, I'm not at liberty to discuss.

Breeze,
I HAVE been experiencing ghostly sensations: cold air, slamming doors, unexplained hazes. But I think it's just Big Guy going out for a smoke.

Lulu,
That's just precious. What makes you think it's not above his pay grade?

Breeze,
Interesting survey. But as we all know the little people are not qualified to evaluate his awesomeness. I mean, Illinois? Could we get any more flyover? A lot of "F's" indeed.

Good thing they didn't give them a choice of "EF" - epic fail.Something else historical about this presidency.

Moright,
If there had been Snuggies around during the Carter years, he would've won a second term. After all, look at Cuba. Castro gave everyone a rice cooker, and they made him dictator for life (or as long as he chose to dictate).

Anon,
Honey, we all miss Laura. What's even more surprising is how many people are starting to miss George.

MOTUS, you have certainly put together highlights of the lowlifes that currently occupy the Big House. Good thing I skipped breakfast this a.m. These pictures make me nauseous. It's even more surprising that she doesn't have a clue that she is on the Fashion Police's "Most Wanted" list.

Well MOTUS, you have quite the entertaining site here. I wandered over as TOTUS has abandoned the FOTae for larger screens, it seems, and there just isn't any other place to properly snark. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

I cooked Kraft cheese macaroni for dinner tonight.

I had to boil water, stir macaroni in, wait, drain, and then mix the cheese sauce in.

I gave myself a B+ for haute cuisine culinary skills.

I have a friend with a slight speech impediment (has trouble with "L") which causes "caulk" to sound like "cok"
Maybe obowma has the same affliction...

Run4,
Here's the thing: for the duration of the Won's administration it would be best to avoid taking food with any reportage. Cocktails, on the other hand, are highly recommended.

Bettyann,
Welcome, and thank you. We are here to serve the American people in our own small way.

Anon1,
I don't think you quite understand our new grading scale: that performance is a solid A++.

Anon2,
That's just a rumor generated and spread by the right wing attack machine.

Gerard,
Oh dear! You're just guessing, right? Because I promised him anonymity.
