Hook, line, and sinker. As mean as it is funny, but (a) I’m already going to hell for laughing at SNL’s Paterson skits so I might as well take the express, and (b) rest assured, if someone sent Joe the Plumber into raptures with a prank call from “Sarah Palin,” the nutroots would hail it as a comedy classic and it’d end up in rotation on MSNBC for 36 hours.
Exit question: Julio’s going to land at MTV as their new VJ, isn’t he? Click the image to listen.

Oh, brother.

Dear lord! He must have such a fulfilling life…
theboss on February 12, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Barack Obama came to his “local home town”?
amerpundit on February 12, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Can Julio out-loser former VJ Jesse Camp? Only time will tell…
Pasalubong on February 12, 2009 at 1:49 PM
“You don’t understand, President”.
Can this guy speak? He’s going to pursue a career in radio? He does realize that he’ll have to speak in that occupation, right?
amerpundit on February 12, 2009 at 1:49 PM
Slow day.
DOW down 170, world markets down as they view Ogabe’s stimucrap plan, gold and silver up.
Bishop on February 12, 2009 at 1:51 PM
I guess Ayers, Fidel, Il, and Akmajumidad were all busy so Barack decided that as the ruler of the free world, the most and best use of his time is to call a 19 year old hamburger flipper kiss@ss.
lest any of you doubt what future awaits
gatorboy on February 12, 2009 at 1:51 PM
HAHAHAHA… he’s a Yankees fan, so I can’t feel too bad for him.
Abby Adams on February 12, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Hilarious.
Dr. Manhattan on February 12, 2009 at 1:52 PM
He’s dumb as a stump.
JammieWearingFool on February 12, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Smackdown: Joe the Plumber vs Julio the Flipper.
I wonder if Julio has gotten a Florida “Fame Check” of his personal records.
MayBee on February 12, 2009 at 1:54 PM
Keep in mind- Obama wants to give this kid more of our tax money to pursue his communications degree studies in college.
MayBee on February 12, 2009 at 1:55 PM
LOL.. Julio for President!!!!
President Obama on February 12, 2009 at 1:56 PM
The future of the US is in good hands…
BTW, how many of the disciples of The One would have fallen for this? About 80%? At least 60% would be my guess.
AUINSC on February 12, 2009 at 1:56 PM
Grooming the next generation of the media. If you think we have airheads in the media now, just wait.
genso on February 12, 2009 at 1:56 PM
It is a little mean, but it illustrates the intellect of the typical Obama supporter and I think we need more of it.
bopbottle on February 12, 2009 at 1:57 PM
I’m still trying to figure how Julio managed to get a job at McDonalds when he was 14.
JammieWearingFool on February 12, 2009 at 1:59 PM
Poor Hoolio. When you’re beneath embarrassment, more than willing to play the loser in front of millions of people, and the only hope you have is the Imposter-in-Chief, you’ve really hit bottom.
Grow a set, baby boy, and take responsibility for your life instead waiting for someone to hand it to you.
AubieJon on February 12, 2009 at 2:00 PM
He wanted Obama to make his employer at McDonalds do something for him because the poor thing has been working there for 4 1/2 years for the same salary. He’s an example of the typical Obama supporter.
Texas Gal on February 12, 2009 at 2:01 PM
I’m trying to figure out how he kept a job for that long. He seems rather effervescent to keep his cool and his job for that long.
genso on February 12, 2009 at 2:01 PM
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA VOTERS ARE THE HUGEST FRIGGIN IDIOTS ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!! THAT IMPERSONATOR HARDLY SOUNDED LIKE OBAMA! WHERE WERE ALL THE UHHHHs AND UMMMMs?
As Julio would say, “Oh, gracious God” was that funny!
TheMightyQuinn on February 12, 2009 at 2:02 PM
In case we needed more proof…Julio really is an idiot.
How about a new adopted son Barack?
RobCon on February 12, 2009 at 2:05 PM
That was hilarious! I like the Julio’s enthusiasm and I would like to meet him.
As a matter of fact, I wish everyone that I met was just like this guy. People like this will buy anything and I would become known as the best salesman in the world. Then I would write a book and go on TV and heck, maybe even meet that “president’ guy!
Vince on February 12, 2009 at 2:06 PM
yeah, it’s funny in a scary cringe-worthy way. Remember, its millions of morons like Julio who installed not only our Marxist President, but also gave him Dem majorities in both houses to pass whatever crapulus they want, plus the very likely chance to swing the Supreme Court way to the left.
While its good to expose these Obama-worshipping morons, I feel like the joke is on us ultimately, at least for the next 4 years. How depressing is that?!
ornery_independent on February 12, 2009 at 2:07 PM
THIS guy touches my Big Mac ?!?!?
RobCon on February 12, 2009 at 2:07 PM
That’s because Obama and his handlers have managed to convince them that A) Obama has the answer to all of their little problems in life and B) Obama cares on a deeply personal level about each and every one of them as individuals.
I would never have believed President Bush was on the phone for me because I would assume that he had much better things to do with his time than call an SEM account manager and ask her how her life is going.
I’m not sure what is more frightening – the fact these people believe that they are so important in the grand scheme of things that the President will call them personally or the fact that they thing the President has so little of import to do that he’s got time to call them up because they whined at one of his townhalls.
JadeNYU on February 12, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Its so nice to hear ANYONE take some of the pompousity out of Obama, even if its just an impression of him.
Speedwagon82 on February 12, 2009 at 2:08 PM
More fun: at NRO, their counting down the Top 25 Conservative Movies. Quibble all you want with the list, but read the short entry for #10–Ghostbusters.

You won’t regret it. You’ll be laughing for the rest of the day. “Who you gonna call?”
BuckeyeSam on February 12, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Welcome to Obama’s world. Its awash with people like Julio…apparently.
genso on February 12, 2009 at 2:09 PM
“It’s like a million dollars fell out of the sky”
Yeah. That’s why he’s so orgasmic-he knows his ‘million dollars’ is gonna fall right outta the social services office in the form of more ed grants, food stamps, & welfare.
Way to go tool.
BTW-I think when Julio met Obama he must have had his 1st sexual experience.
It sure sounded like it.
Badger40 on February 12, 2009 at 2:09 PM
It doesn’t even sound like him.
Vizzini on February 12, 2009 at 2:10 PM
How many times are they going to keep saying, “Yo Pre…where’s my stuff?” before they realize he really isn’t going to give “them” any stuff?
Alden Pyle on February 12, 2009 at 2:11 PM
Another reason to institute property requirements for voting.
Badger40 on February 12, 2009 at 2:11 PM
You can get parent waivers to work at that age or you can get a job through school as well. He was probably 15 when he started though.
lorien1973 on February 12, 2009 at 2:11 PM
That was mean.
Alana on February 12, 2009 at 2:14 PM
You should see the way the local media in Southwest Florida treats Julio and the lady who begged for a house. They’re celebrities with “inspiring life stories”, featured in endless admiring local news profiles – the kind of profile that would never, ever be run about a captain of industry who created thousands of jobs, or a brilliant investor who went from rags to riches in the business world.
Welcome to the Oprah edition of America, where a billionaire with limitless power watches the little people hug each other and compete to tell the most “inspiring” story of woe and ruin, before gently stepping in and telling them how to vote.
Doctor Zero on February 12, 2009 at 2:17 PM
Imagine what he’s doing to your McNuggets? (sorry, I saw a shot an I took it heh)
Those guys could have been a lot meaner to poor Julio, but that was funny…mostly because anyone so enamored with The One kinda deserves it.
JetBoy on February 12, 2009 at 2:18 PM
DO NOT QUIT YOUR DAY-JOB!
McDonald’s… you’ve peaked, man.
mankai on February 12, 2009 at 2:19 PM
That was funny.
Two things:
This moron needs to get on his knees every morning and thank God that he lives in a country that allows him to have a decent job and go to college instead of using his sorry butt for cannon fodder or ditch-digging.
He sounds like a kid weaned on Bush hatred and government worship. Welcome to the future folks!
29Victor on February 12, 2009 at 2:20 PM
I’ll take a Julio with Cheese

gay, oh sorry, GUY, has touched a few “Big Macs” in his time I bet… Anyone bet he had a “thrill” runningdown, oh shoot, sorry again, running UP his leg.Mark Garnett on February 12, 2009 at 2:23 PM
It reminds me of nothing more than someone going up to a “faith-healer” and being healed of all their bodily ills. What winds up being important about them isn’t their “life story” so much as the fact that, in the end, they “relied on their faith” and felt the “touch of God.”
The excitement isn’t so much about them, or even Obama, it’s about people “laying down all of their troubles” at the feet of government, admitting that they can do nothing without government, and being healed.
The Government is god, Obama is merely the messenger.
29Victor on February 12, 2009 at 2:27 PM
Just so you know, it tastes like retarded.
yomomma on February 12, 2009 at 2:28 PM

Cue media outrage and lawsuit in 3. . . 2. . . 1
King of the Britons on February 12, 2009 at 2:37 PM
Thank you for letting us know that you’re one of the MSM excrement sponges that has believed everything you’ve been fed. You’ve let us know that you have no clue about who George Bush is, but you’ve believed everything the media told you about him. You’ve also let us know that you believe everything they’ve told you to believe about Obama.
Get back into the flock with the rest of the sheep. The butcher’s waiting.
AubieJon on February 12, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Please accept my apologies. I misread your post. Sorry.
AubieJon on February 12, 2009 at 2:49 PM
Read an article online this morning that said public records show the black woman who asked for a house has been living in public housing in Fla. on and off since 1983. What’s “inspiring” about leeching off taxpayers for a quarter century?
AZCoyote on February 12, 2009 at 2:51 PM
Nice. I’ve done that myself occasionally.
genso on February 12, 2009 at 2:52 PM
I know Obama has been termed the Messiah but this incidence and others like the woman who needed a kitchen seems to lean more in the direction of….
Benny Hinn
Think about it. He makes wide sweeping promises for the general population and takes their money. Then he takes a select few and gives only them what they want so they can dance on stage and publicly praise his name and declare his miracles.
Am I right? I said, am I right?
shick on February 12, 2009 at 2:54 PM
I was just thinking that. I wonder when someone will show a snake-handling revival clip side-by-side with an Obama rally just to highlight the similarities?
genso on February 12, 2009 at 2:57 PM
Folks might want to back off just a tad about Julio. There are lots of feeble minded in the world who exhibit the same blind enthusiasm as Julio, and are very easily made the fool or taken advantage of. I have taught young, naive, borderline mentally challenged people, and they have many of the same characteristics as Julio. There is a reason Julio lives at home and has been working so long at McDonald’s with no advancement. This may be the best job he can keep. Given Julio’s limitations, I find direct contacts like this fake phone call bordering on cruelty.
marybel on February 12, 2009 at 2:57 PM
AubieJon
Good one. You’ve been saving that up for a special occasion?
And props on the apology. I’ve had to do that a couple of times myself.
29Victor on February 12, 2009 at 2:57 PM
Benny Hinn= filthy rich “TV evangelist” spouting false christianity and preying on the weak physically, mentally and spiritually.
shick on February 12, 2009 at 2:57 PM
shick on February 12, 2009 at 2:54 PM
‘zactly. Scroll up and read my 2:27PM comment.
29Victor on February 12, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Of course it was cruel. So was Obama exposing him to the world for his own benefit. I find the latter more offensive. And where are the parents to protect this boy? Apparently, enjoying the show.
genso on February 12, 2009 at 3:00 PM
If you’ve seen the Hinn expose’ you’ll discover that the “healees” were never healed. Some people thought they experienced improvement at first but later were troubled into thinking that they didn’t have enough faith and lost it. Others just plain died shorlty after.
Truly sad.
That’s not biblical faith at all.
Similarly with Obamamania, there may be appearances of improvement. That lady might just get her kitchen thanks to Obama. But will she be able to keep it? She’ll either need 1) to find out how to maintain that living herself, 2) get help from her friends, family, neighborhood or 3) government (worst option).
shick on February 12, 2009 at 3:05 PM
The guy got Obama’s pauses and inflections down.
Jim Treacher on February 12, 2009 at 3:08 PM
What? No NugNut trolls dropping by to claim Julio as next governor of Alaska? After all, who cares if the Phoenix DJs, unlike the Canadian ones, identified themselves in advance.
Christien on February 12, 2009 at 3:10 PM
“uhh, no…I live with my parents.”
And you always will.
kahall on February 12, 2009 at 3:15 PM
It’s just a guess but the feds fund a summer work program for youth starting at age 15 as a job training program. Business sign up for the program and agree to provide the supervision and training and the tax payer picks up the payroll. He said 4 1/2 years so he might be going on 20.
Texas Gal on February 12, 2009 at 3:30 PM
mankai on February 12, 2009 at 3:38 PM
I hear the Obama-Oprah show took to the road again today. My guess is the feinting was too obvious.
It’s interesting that this embarrassing clown was one of 150 that got in. Pretty tight screening at the Obama-Oprah show. I wonder why he was selected?
tarpon on February 12, 2009 at 3:40 PM
This guy isn’t mentally disabled. He CHOSE to be this stupid. Why shouldn’t we make fun of him? Probably never listened a day in history class.
Speedwagon82 on February 12, 2009 at 3:41 PM
Speed,
I’m talking mental capacity, which isn’t a choice. We shouldn’t make fun of him because it sucks to be cruel, and most of the people on this site aren’t.
marybel on February 12, 2009 at 3:47 PM
They should have had fake Obama offer him a White House internship and ask that he be the “poster citizen” for the Obama Youth Corps.
econavenger on February 12, 2009 at 3:49 PM
Florida law allows 14 and 15-year olds to work a limited schedule: Not after 9 pm on school nights, not more than 3 hours on school nights, and some other restrictions.
Most employers don’t hire 14 and 15 year-olds because of the limits, but McDonalds and Winn-Dixie do. I don’t know about Winn-Dixie, but McDonalds restaurants are franchisee-owned and some of the owners hire the kids and ignore the limits.
My older son worked 8-hour shifts at the local McD’s when he was 14
Janos Hunyadi on February 12, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Okay, now it’s almost getting sad… this kid is either incredibly stupid, or at least a smidge insane.
RightWinged on February 12, 2009 at 4:02 PM
OT Sort of:
I was just in someone’s office and heard Dear Leader’s voice on a commercial for some service organization. Is that normal? I don’t recall ever hearing W on any commercials.
All of this is creeping me out.
Dubn8tr on February 12, 2009 at 4:06 PM
You know what’s really cruel about Julio? He can vote.
There’s nothing dishonorable about working at McDonald’s. I worked a lot of crap jobs when I was a kid in the 80s, too. I did not escape them by falling on my knees before Ronald Reagan at a town hall meeting and begging for a better job. The difference between a boy and a man is the difference between the way Obama handled Julio, and the way Reagan would have.
If people like Julio are going to spend their lives waiting for god-kings to come along and lift them out of poverty, they should not have the right to participate in choosing the god-kings, or influencing public policy in any other way. Only the people paying for the bloated government should have any say in how much money it collects or spends. Otherwise you get absurd spectacles like the Porkulus bill, or pitiful loses whining to the President to save them from the slave pits of the Dark Lord Mayor McCheese.
If Julio plays his cards right, he might be able to get somewhere in his non-burger-flipping job just in time to have his income confiscated to pay off the staggering deficit run up by his hero.
Doctor Zero on February 12, 2009 at 4:07 PM
I had to laugh when I looked at the screen shot above. On the bottom it says “Talk to Rick.” You know when they put their 20 viewers’ Twitter postings up. One TOM (Typical Obama Moron) wrote, “Geithner’s plans :D .” Puh-lease. Geithner doesn’t even know what the plan is.
Babino on February 12, 2009 at 4:15 PM
Edison State College’s Department of Communication must be so proud of their ambassador on the national stage!
highhopes on February 12, 2009 at 4:37 PM
Here’s the thing for me. There are plenty of low-paying “communications” jobs for those interested in the profession. Why would this guy be hanging out at a fast food joint for years if his passion is elsewhere?
I also want to know what genius of a career counselor told this clearly low-intelligence moron that his future was in communications.
highhopes on February 12, 2009 at 4:41 PM
His MANAGER told him he should get out of McDs for whatever job offer he got???
It reminded me…I was at a Taco Bell on vacation last month. The guy on the register was running the place. Young 20’s, handsome, energetic, lighting fires under the employees, engaged with customers, over the top in customer satisfaction–so much so that I noticed. I complimented him, and said with an attitude and work ethic like he had, he’s not going to be here long. He said, “No, ma’am, I’m staying right here. This has been my first job, I’ve been here for seven years, and I’m working my way to the top of Taco Bell.” I was so inspired by him. He was no Julio, in other words. He was WORKING his way to the top.
hoosiermama on February 12, 2009 at 4:41 PM
Screw that. I’ve been unemployed twice in the past two years and held four different jobs. The IT job market in New Orleans sucks. I’m not complaining or asking Obama to give me a job that’s stable and has good benefits.
I’m driving back and forth to Baton Rouge from New Orleans to earn a decent paycheck so I can raise my family right now. I put on about 150 miles a day on my car each day. I’m not out begging Obama to give me more money for gas or free maintenance for my car. I’m not asking for a handout to give me a free place in Baton Rouge or to help with moving expenses.
I busted my ass for everything I got. I’m not going to sell out my dignity because of some charasmatic false prophet. I went out and got job oppurtunities and I beleive I finally landed one that will be stable and I won’t have to drive so much to get to work.
Nobody wants to sacrafice or do hard work to earn anything in life. They want it all to be handed to them on a pretty little platter. Boo hoo feel sorry for me waaaaah.
Hard working people like me are doing what they can every day to earn a living, raise their family, and make it through with some dignity and a sense of pride. I already have a savior and Obama ain’t it.
Screw this guy, he’s gullible and should be called out for the fact he’s easily led and fooled. He has no dignity, no confidence and I won’t feel sorry when his little world comes crashing down and reality starts to set in. Where will your false prophet be then Julio?
Lay-Z on February 12, 2009 at 4:52 PM
Indeed.
That is apparently the world we live in now.
If you work hard, are successful, don’t complain about how “unfair” everything is, and even create jobs in the process, you are evil and to be despised.
If you can’t get your life together and then go whine to the President about it, yours is an “inspiring” life story.
One wonders what the endgame of this type of thinking will be.
Hawkins1701 on February 12, 2009 at 5:04 PM
What do you expect from a boy who still lives at home with Mommy and Daddy? Will America EVER have another mature generation?
Andy in Agoura Hills on February 12, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Now THAT’S an inspiring story.
Hawkins1701 on February 12, 2009 at 5:09 PM
It’s a pity though that those people do vote. Voila! Our current situation.
ddrintn on February 12, 2009 at 5:28 PM
You’re right, this Taco Bell kid was no Julio. He was blessed with the mental capacity to achieve at a much higher level, and I am as excited by his story as you are. I also empathise with the fella above working two jobs, just trying to keep body and soul together. My husband and I did the same when we were starting out.
There’s really very little that’s inspiring about Julio beyond his naivete, innocence, and enthusiasm. I wish he couldn’t vote as well, but there are plenty of really educated people who fell for and voted for Obama’s schtick. Parents of children who will never succeed beyond a certain level are sometimes jerks but often just regular folks who have to deal with a son who is limited and may never be able to really progress much farther than fixing your Big Mac at McDonald’s. Period.
marybel on February 12, 2009 at 5:38 PM
I just really don’t get it, this swooning over a snake oil salesman. What’s really sad is that my very own son (while not head over heels like this guy) was very impressed with Obama, used to tell me to listen to him, that he had great ideas, that he was going to change things and put a stop to some of the madness in DC. Now? He’s very disappointed and stunned at some of his actions thus far. It’s sad to see someone have such hope only to find out they’ve been sold a bill of goods.
scalleywag on February 12, 2009 at 5:42 PM
I bet that radio station will be shut down soon. hahahaa
becki51758 on February 12, 2009 at 6:17 PM
Its a damn shame isn’t it? Years from now my son will probably ask me about what happened during these times. I know I can say with pride that I worked hard and never gave up. I hope to teach him is that he has the freedom to be what he wants to be, you have to work hard.
It may not come fast, it may not come easy but eventually it comes. The satisfaction of accomplishment all on your own is that much sweeter.
You know what, if Julio really wants a job with benefits right now, why doesn’t he join the Army? You get free medical, dental, hell even room and board! I know, I did it at his age, and liked it.
Oh wait, he’d actually have to do work and have some discipline. You think some NCO is gonna give a crap if something isn’t fair? I’d like him to tell a drill sergeant that.
Lay-Z on February 12, 2009 at 7:22 PM
True, but I’d probably have more sympathy in this case were it not for the Left’s constant attempts to paint conservatives and their leaders as drooling cretins. At least most of us aren’t waiting for Pres. Santa Claus. The question is how typical Julio is of Obama fans. I’d say, disturbingly typical.
ddrintn on February 12, 2009 at 8:35 PM
I did laugh; couldn’t help it. But the guy’s obviously missing a screw or two, and that was mean.
inviolet on February 12, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Ha!
Tzetzes on February 12, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Good observation, I think. I found it pretty cruel, also. The guy doesn’t seem to have any meanness about him.
mikeyboss on February 12, 2009 at 11:20 PM
The more I listen to Julio, the more he sounds like Mel Kiper Jr. If he bones up on the NFL draft, ESPN might fit him in.
ddrintn on February 13, 2009 at 12:24 AM
That was funny when he cried that he has worked at the same company for 4yrs and isn’t getting what he thinks is the proper pay for someone with his experiance selling fries. I must have laughed for a straight 5 minuites.
Dollayo on February 13, 2009 at 12:25 AM
Who would ever think that this guy was Barack Obama. For his biggest fan, he sure doesn’t know what he sounds like.
YoungAmerican on February 13, 2009 at 1:56 AM
No, worse: his “local hometown where I live…”
What was missing was the vicious payoff to let Julio know he’d been Punk’d. That would have been a frank introduction to the cruel world of radio that this jamoke strives to get into.
Veteran radio broadcasters with families and little other discernible skills to fall back on continue to be let go from major market stations across the country and this clown is getting job offers? If he doesn’t break into the biz working graveyard hours babysitting automated satellite fed programming in market #197 while making sure the coffee maker is ready for the morning show to arrive for their 5:30am show at 5:40, then there truly is no justice in the world.
