Jokingly? How do you say something like that in jest to anyone, much less the President?
Doughboy on October 6, 2012 at 11:07 AM
A distinction without a difference.
turfmann on October 6, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Beck was right.
When you pull back the curtain, you realize it’s all just a puppet show.

Do I see an opening in public discourse to criticize Obama without being considered a racist? That would be a game-changer for Romney. Being able to say “Obama’s doing a lousy job” without the disapprobation of disliking Obama for his skin color falling down on you like a ton of bricks? Imagine how it would spread from person to person. “Yeah, I feel the same way. It doesn’t have anything to do with him being black. But I too think he’s doing a lousy job. I’ve felt that for a long time! I didn’t want to say it, because people would think I don’t like black people”.
No. The vendor was probably just light-heartedly referring to the narrowing of pedestrian traffic flow that comes with the President and the Secret Service. But I can dream, can’t I?
Paul-Cincy on October 6, 2012 at 11:11 AM
The Secret Service had to lock down the place. So I imagine business fell off dramatically before and while the pres. got there. I could see someone making a joke about it.
Of course, Obama wanted to hear something about business being fantastic, but Obama doesn’t always get what he wants.

That guy better be careful, when moochelle sees her name on the bakery……………

Now all of America will get to hear about the poultry seller’s divorce records, licensing, tax history and if he is using his middle name.
scrubjay on October 6, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Jokingly? Maybe so, but the earlier reports I read made it sound serious, that Obama was unhappy with it, and that the guy was annoyed with the press hanging around and that he hadn’t sold a thing for 40 minutes. He also refused all interview requests.
Doesn’t sound like a “joke” to me. Just sounds like a guy who doesn’t like to lose money so a politician can pretend to care.

Ten minutes with Barry seems like four years.
Yoop on October 6, 2012 at 11:37 AM
Teh One was not amused.
MeatHeadinCA on October 6, 2012 at 11:39 AM
I wouldn’t read a lot into this. When you’re a small businessman, every minute you’re not selling stuff is a big deal. He might have lost a half day’s worth of business once you factor in the time it took to secure the place before POTUS got there, and then the time it took everyone to clear out afterward. He was probably pissed, and might have been pissed even if it had been Romney visiting.

IRS audit for that guy.

There is a new book coming out: “The Poultryman: Searching for the Real Rolston,” by Joe McGinniss.

“I had to lay off ten people and I’m on the verge of bankruptcy! Hah, get it?”
Yeah, that’s a regular laugh riot.
logis on October 6, 2012 at 12:11 PM
Moo was not amused at being associated with foods that she has not approved for the “little people” to be consuming.
UltimateBob on October 6, 2012 at 12:22 PM
Yes.
KMC1 on October 6, 2012 at 12:35 PM
Sadly I thought this exact thing.
What are we letting happen to our country?!?

Barack’s chickens coming home to roost.
Was Barack there to get a new chicken for the democrat party to rape?

LIVING WILL FORM
I, ____________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead partisan politicians who couldn’t pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it, or lawyers/doctors/hospitals interested in simply running up the bills.
If after a reasonable amount of time passes, and I fail to ask for: (Check appropriate items): a Martini ______, a Margarita ______, a Scotch and soda ______, a Bloody Mary______, a beer ______, a Gin and Tonic _______, a Glass of Chardonnay ______, a Steak ______, Lobster or crab legs ______, the TV remote control ______, a bowl of ice cream ______, the sports page______, Sex______, or Chocolate_______, it should be presumed that I won’t ever get any better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes, and call it a day. At this point, it is time to call the New Orleans Jazz Funeral Band to come and do their thing at my funeral, and ask all of my friends to raise their glasses to toast the good times we have had.
Signature:________________________Date:__________
P.S. I hear that in Ireland there is a Nursing Home with a Pub. The patients are happier, and they have a lot more visitors. Some of them don’t even need embalming when their time comes. If anyone knows the name of this happy place, PLEASE pass it on.
Amendment #1:
Should I become incapacitated as described above, DO NOT PULL THE PLUG until after I have voted against Barack Obama by absentee ballot in the November 2012 election.
