Last night, I fell in love with Barack Obama. Again. He is ONE. SMART. COOKIE.
I hate the whole the rich only get richer bullshit that has been going on in the USofA in the past gazillion years.
Joe the Plumber is in a tough sitch but if he can’t survive paying an extra $7,500 a year in taxes (39% v. 36% of $250k), leaving him with about $152,500 (give or take) AFTER TAXES a year, Joe needs to come chat with me with my single-income household, husband who is a SAHD b/c he CANNOT work in the US yet (because of the fucked up immigration laws) and my four kids.
Joe, come sit here next to me and let me buy you a Corona with what’s left of my measly paycheck and tell you about MY situation.
Joe, STFU.
Here’s a joke someone sent me:
Whether Democrat or Republican, I think you’ll get a kick out of this!
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’
Dad says, ‘Well son, let m e try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parents’ room and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say’s to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.’
The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’
The little boy replies,
‘ The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.
Ahahahaha! That is very accurate.
I agree that Joe should STFU, NOW!
I also agree that Barack Obama is the shit.
Haha! Funny! And dude…..I think McCain was wearing lipstick last night! The Republicans are taking this lipstick thing WAY too far!!
Don’t forget to vote!!!!! We already di!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
LOL at the joke.
I’ve been on the fence about this whole election thing for some time, but I happened to catch parts of the debate last night and I have to say, I’m impressed with Obama. He’ll be a good leader. He’s smart. He thinks FAST on his feet. He is fair-minded, diplomatic, calm. He knows his stuff. He’s not just parroting what some adviser told him to say. IMHO, McCain looked nervous, shifty, and unconfident last night. Something about McCain scares me, and God Forbid we got stuck with Sarah Palin! McCain is old, and we’ve already suffered 8 years of old-fashioned mentality. We need new blood and progressive ideas in the White House. Obama, you just got my vote.
Whenever anyone mentioned Joe, I wanted to make stupid Joe jokes.
But then, deep down I am twelve years old. ;-P
Yup, that joke pretty much sums up my view! I had to turn it off after 10 minutes. I can’t take either of those two anymore. It’s write-in for me.
I am a politcal junkie and been a “Obama mama” from day one,needless to say I am on pins and needles.I don’t think I could survive 4 days muchless 4yrs of Grampy Mcsane and Caribou Barbi.Joe the plummer look like a plant to me. Love the joke,sound like what I think politics is all about.
Love it! I assume of course that by now you’ve read the truth about Joe the Plumber? You know.. good ole joe who doesn’t have a plumber’s license, and makes 40K a year so there’s no way in heck he’s buying said business? Same guy who also owes back taxes. If he is a plant.. boy did they goof up there!
Haha! Thanks for the laugh!
So sad that that joke is so accurate. It made me laugh though. Thanks for posting it.
(BTW I love your knitting!)
