Bush: How do you like my new suit?
Obama: Dressing like me isn't going to fool anyone...
I can think of at least two terribly puerile possibilities.
Obama: ..and that's how a bill becomes a law.
Bush: Sonofagun. You really were some sorta professor, huh?
Make that three.
I guess we can now add Bush to his list of questionable associations.
"Will the White House physician be able to cure me of this bothersome throbbing pain I've been experiencing in my right big toe as of late?"
"5 dollar foot longs"
"Actually, my name is Barack Hussein Bin Laden Hitler Stalin Obama. But, to keep it short . . ."
You clap with two hand. Start like this . . .
"Well, actually, George, I thought I'd put forth some effort into my presidency. But thanks for the tips."
The only time George Bush and Barack Obama will ever be in lock step.
gabbage, great one.
"Meeting of the Mind(s)" is actually a pretty good one.
O: "So then the horse says to the bartender -- "
B: "I've heard that one, too."
Gabbage and adaglas, great!
Obama tries to soothe Bush's ruffled feathers over his humiliation at wearing the same outfit, which he now totally realizes makes his butt look fat.
Obama explains to Bush just how close Bush came to actually destroying the country.
Obama shows Bush how big Real America really is.
Andrew Davis stole mine Re Subway.
- However, if you implement a program that does not include direct mandates but enforces participation through the institutionalisation of...
- Huh?
No caption, I'm afraid.
I did think the body language was interesting though. Obama followed up the handshake with a pat on Bush's back, which wasn't returned. Bush never gave him the patented: "I'm an informal regular bloke" Bush backpat. Can you recall Bush meeting any senior figure and not giving that?
Obama looked chatty and Bush looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. Even when Bush opened the door for him, he tried, nearly but didn't pat him on the back as he waved him in.
Hmmm...Obama's eager to please and be liked and Bush was just not bothered because someone else, infinetly more capable and shock, horror likeable was dong all the back patting, which leads me to predict Obama will try, in vain, to reach out to Republicans, cause he likes to be liked.
Yea, I need a hobby.
"Honestly? About this big."
Only thing that came to mind.
"Is it twue what they say about you people...?" (pause) "It's twue! It's twue!"
Or:
"George, this is what it's all about: you put your left foot in, you put your left foot out..."
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
Seriously, did they have to wear the exact same outfit?!?
guyminuslife and jhunger, thanks for having the chutzpa to say what had to be said.
BTW, as a physician who has examined thousands of patients in the buff, I'm inclined to say that, yes, it is true what they say about black men. (Caveat: male members are not generally at attention when I get to survey them.)
