Obama Is One Smooth Operator

There is a new book out called “Barack Obama: The Story,” which focuses on his life as a young man living in New York City, including his relationship with a girlfriend named Genevieve Cook.

According to the book, at one point in their relationship, Obama is suddenly confronted with a situation that has confounded men and women for eons:

What do you say when the other person unexpectedly says, “I love you.”

If the relationship is on the same wavelength it is easily resolved. You simply say, “I love you too.”

When the relationship is not on the same wavelength, things get tricky.

There are several parries:

The philosophical: Love, what is love anyway?

The diversion: Can you tell if you’re having a stroke?

The non-committal: Are you doing something different with your hair?

The look-a-way: How ’bout them Mets.

So, how did Obama respond when Genevieve popped the love word?

He said, and I quote, “Thank you.”

Thank you!

See, that’s why he’s president.

The Care And Watering Of Conspiracy Theories

You ever wonder where the wacko conspiracy theories come from?

You know:

The New World Order.

The Bush Administration knew about 911 before it happened.

President Obama was born in Africa.

Elvis isn’t dead.

(OK, I kind of believe the Elvis isn’t dead one.)

Anyway, here is a great example of how conspiracy theories are hatched. This is an actual story from The Washington Times, a conservative newspaper owned by Sun Myung Moon.

“Medical examiners in Los Angeles are investigating the possible poisoning death of one of their own officials who may have worked on the case of Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand who died March 1, the same day Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced probable cause for forgery in President Obama’s birth certificate.”

Here the problem with this theory:

Even if Obama did have Breitbart murdered, as has been claimed. And even if he had the LA forensic technician got whacked to cover up Breitbart’s murder. Why didn’t he also have someone do a Luca Brasi on Arpaio, the only man in American putting this entire chain of events together?

Inquiring minds want to know.

This We Are All Dying To See

In a joint appearance with her husband on CBS last week, Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann, said she welcomed the opportunity to tell people about a side of her husband that broke with the media narrative that he was stiff or out-of-touch with average Americans. “There’s a wild and crazy man inside there,” she said.

Forget Polls, What Do T-Shirts Show?

With Eye of Newt now out of the race, there are now only three T-shirts vying for the top spot, according to Café Press, a website that features political merchandise.

While Obama led the week in T-shirts sales at 61 percent, followed by Romney (27) percent and Ron Paul (12), the overall leader remains Paul (43), followed by Obama (38) and Romney (15).

T-shirts, of course, can’t vote … in most places.

The Weak in Tweets

I don’t trust anyone who chooses a side salad over french fries. (retweet Men’s Humor)

A sad, sad day for people who enjoy political humor and satire: Eye of Newt has dropped out of GOP presidential race. Say it ain’t so Newt.

So gas stations won’t be able to sell beer? 2 bad, now I have to look for a new stupidest idea of all time.

I was hacked … to all you people who ran out and bought acai berries … sorry.

I’ve been hacked … either that or a lot of people are saying nasty things about me.

Dilemma: change twitter password yet again, or continue to let people say mean things about me.

Romney brought pizza to NYC firefighters … wonder if he ate his with a knife and fork?
