Wonder if they will let me in the voting place sippin on my slurpee?

but wouldn’t it be just a little bit awesome if Boehner came out at the end of the night … sipping a Slurpee?

Most voters wouldn’t get it. Just have him carry a big ol’ Texas-sized gavel. Like the one Pelosi carried through Washington after she shoved ObamaCare down our throats.

Was that an Obama 08 sticker or ’12 sticker on that bumper?

When the GOP takes over and the Dem minority leader starts criticising, I’d love it if Boehner would respond with “I though you were told to wait in the car?”

The Republicans can call out from the back, “Are we there yet?”

I saw a car with an Obama bumper sticker on it and one that said, “1-20(or21)-09 End of an Error.” I think it should have said “the beginning of an error.”

I'm mainly speechless (laughing, drooling...) at the pathetic mixed messages Gibbs and Obama are offering these days. Gibbs says, "no we're just pushing the car out of the ditch," while Obama says, "We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back." "Leadership." NOT!

Yeah, I know where he's coming from, and I thought I was tweaking Allah for letting him off the hook. I need to work on my irony I guess. Meanwhile I don't believe that Obama has any real empathy for the African American experience. He's a well-spoken mutt without a pedigree. But he does have a degree, and Biden says he's clean, but I digress. Randy

We can all agree that the Car is in the ditch!
.

See, the problem with the liberals is that they are trying to pull the car out of the ditch with a donkey.
When in fact they should be using a Mustang with real American ingenuity and know how.

That’s how I see it anyway~

Never mind…I got it. Let me fix it for you, Barry:

“We’ve been pushing that car, pushing it, pushing it, pushing it,” Obama tells laughing audiences across the country. “The whole time, the Republicans have been standing on the sidelines. They’ve been looking down, fanning themselves, sipping on a Slurpee. Kicking dirt down into the ditch. Kicking dirt in our faces, and pissing on us down in the ditch.”

There. Now the picture emerges.

Somebody get me a Slurpee, I gotta take a pi$$.

Obama doesn’t understand how the “sit in the back” metaphor might be seen in relation to Rosa Parks because he has no personal connection to the black-American experience. Really, he has no emotional connection to America at all.

I must have missed a few days somewhere…what the hell is this Slurpee thing all about?

Part of Obama’s silly narrative about being in the drivers seat and the GOP putting the car in the ditch.

The Dems ran that over financed car in the ditch after trashing it,

Nov. 3rd the Repomen R’s come to claim their damaged property and set about returning it to a finely oiled mean machine!

Hows’ that for a car metaphor OBlahBlah!

The dems have been driving this clunker for 52 of the past 60 years and have continued to run into the embankment every day… Why is it the republicans, who ran congress for 6 years and BALANCED THE BUDGET under Clinton, Get one last chance to get it right? The dems have screwed up this country so hold THEM accountable for their mistakes.
Democrats spending $5 trillion dollars in just the past 4 years alone makes them unelectable.

No, somehow in this narrative seems more like a ‘stolen’ car.

orbitalair on October 26, 2010 at 9:04 PM

A carjacking,in fact.

Hopefully, by Tuesday we’ll know if we’ll be able to call this “Recovery Autumn” and America will finally get her ride back from the clutches of the gang that couldn’t drive straight.

I’m actually kinda surprised 7-11 isn’t doing a 25 cent slurpee special on tuesday. They’d sell millions.

I already emailed them. Haven’t heard anything…yet.
