I thought the Republican talking point is that the government doesn't create jobs. At least that's what they crow when job numbers plummet when they are in any sort of control.

They had a hearing in Georgia on whether Obama's handwriting is readable? That doesn't seem to serve any purpose.

You'd be surprised. A simple 30-second skit honoring America's Grandma can--and will--inspire fits of apoplectic rage in people. Apparently you can't even laugh at the video without flashing your anti-Obama bona fides first.

He's a dirty southpaw and a terrorist sympathizer. If we get some handwriting experts in here, I think we can prove that his original note to Seal Team 6 didn't say, "Throw Osama into the Sea", It said, "Show Osama intimacy".

Yet the Democrats were in control of Congress when the current downturn started, so the point is still valid.
But the real issue is the fact that no one has seen a birth certificate from any elected Republican...EVAR!

I mean, its not like he has spent 500+ days clearing brush on his ranch or anything... he spent half an hour for the lulz. Don't post on fark and pretend like you work 100% of the time, you slacker. Everyone needs their sanity.

I kinda like having a President with a charming sense of humor. I think living in a loving family teaches you the art of good-natured ribbing. The fact that he's able to mock himself and his difficulties is a plus.

90 rounds. In 3 years, a little less than 3 rounds a month. It's a crime, and I think you can tell by my internet voice that this isn't sarcasm.

Half of left-handers twist their hands, half don't. I hear it's supposed to reveal a fundamentally different brain structure, and us twisters are supposed to be more vulnerable to either particularly well-developed intelligence or mental illness or something.
Maybe both, in my case.

I was having an argument with someone (via twitter, by far the worst media over which to have a political argument). Obama's not the one who made that vow of golf abstinence--and I don't recall anyone asking Bush to either. Besides, if you only play 90 rounds of golf over 3 years chances are you don't like golf much. Having a glass of wine with dinner doesn't make you an alcoholic.

I wasn't in a coma, and somehow this is the first I've seen of this. In my defense, my town was buried by a snow and ice storm when this was released, so I had more pressing issues.
