Obama losing "it"???

Glad to see the President of the USA having an Irish ale in Ireland.

No doubt that FOX News will speculate that he has an alcohol problem or question why he didn't opt for an American made draft beer.



Meanwhile, Floridians are posting wiseass comments about our president's heredity.....evidently, Obama's great, great, great grandfather was from Ireland.

And then they'll celebrate?

I guess America should give the 13 colonies back to Britain since we took it from them. And then give the rest of the country back to the Indians.

I agree that the country should be given back to the Indians.  Unfortunately, the settlers killed most of them so Indian Reservations and casinos is enough land for them.

I'm still here, and I want Georgia back. It is my ancestral homeland. I will, of course, allow you to purchase it for a reasonable price.

I wonder how many right wingers were such staunch supporters of Israel prior to The President's speech. My guess is that 99% of them have probably never even heard of B'nai B'rith.

Wondering if the right guess is Trillions, Billions or Millions -

More awkwardness.......


The president and the orchestra at Buckingham Palace this evening were a bit out of synch.

When the president toasted the Queen the orchestra misunderstood a pause and what seemed to be a cue from the president for “God Save the Queen” to begin playing.

“Ladies and gentlemen please stand with me and raise your glasses as I propose a toast,” the president said, putting down his note cards and grabbing his glass. “To her majesty the Queen.”

The president paused, the guests stood, and the orchestra prepared to play.

But the president wasn’t done speaking.

“The vitality –“ the president said before the orchestra began.

Then the familiar tune – you might know it better as “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” – started up.

The president kept going: “ -- of the special relationship between our peoples and for the words of Shakespeare to this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,” the president said as the awkward moment played out.

The Queen looked ahead as the UK anthem played.

“To the Queen,” the president finally said.

He lifted his glass to her, she smiled a bit uncomfortably.

But because the song was playing, no one drank from his or her glass, including the president, who put his glass down on the table.

Then once the song was over, everyone raised a glass.

It almost felt like one of those moments at the Academy Awards when the speech from the recipient for Best Original Screenplay goes on too long and the orchestra tries to hustle him or her off the stage.

Kind of weird.

You'd drink too if you were married to Michelle.

That's right. I forgot. You like your women dumb and w/ an extra appendage.

On the other hand, maybe this would get the President to go intern-hunting.....

will a couple of bottles of firewater be reasonable enough?

You guys should learn a little more about history. The Cherokee did not trade their lands away. It was an ethnic cleansing.

"Firewater".   LOL!    That was good.   

As funny as that was, the American Indian situation was one of the most criminal in history.   Between that and bringing slaves from Africa, early America was perhaps the most evil place in the world.    It's a shame they couldn't control the Indians like they could the Africans so they wouldn't have had to kill them.    In that case, when the slaves were released, at least the people would have already been in their native country.    This country has really developed both structurally and morally since then.  But,  I don't think enough is done to compensate the Indians even to this day.
