Barack Obama's Diary

Dear Diary: A long and stressful day:  a photo-op meeting with  students seeking jobs in Ohio and  then two fundraisers in Detroit. With  the price of jet fuel  the way it is, I'm glad that it's not  on my Visa card. Then  along comes this dog-eating Internet meme with bloggers making  jokes about  chicken poodle soup, claims that  Bo is missing and  people demanding to see pictures of him alongside today's newspaper.  Hardy, har, har. And to cap  it all a rumor has now blown up-- if you will -- about a sex tape involving a State Dept. official on a roof in Baghdad. On a roof ? This is in addition to the Secret Service  prostitution debacle.  Has everybody gone insane? How dare they smear my deservedly  messianic reputation.
David "The Ax" Axelrod has ordered a driver to bring my campaign bus to the White House  so  we can  throw  Mark Sullivan  under it when an 'internal investigation' unsurprisingly reveals that the buck [or rather,  the $47 bucks] stops with the Director of the Secret Service. Boo-boo my blankey is under my pillow, um-num-num. A quick prayer to myself. And so to bed.

It's Bo time...

Top tweets about Obama eating dog meat

Something tells me that we're not going to hear much more about Mitt Romney's pooch riding  on the roof of his station wagon decades ago. Don't miss these Tweets.   By the way, anyone here seen Bo?

Christie open to VP discussion

Obama throws Brits under bus

British troops have fought bravely since 2001 -- and 400 have died -- alongside US troops in Afghanistan. Now Obama has repaid our closest ally by refusing  to oppose Argentina's renewed  bid  to colonize the Falkland Islands whose inhabitants wish to remain British. Good move, Barack, that should encourage the Brits to stand by our side in future crises. More here

Romney 48%, Obama 43%!

Obama runs out of gas

Obama grasped the thorn of high gas prices during a speech in the White House Rose Garden today. You gotta hand it to the guy, he's consistent:  Blame someone else for a problem -- in this case "speculators" --   then point lots of taxpayer money at the problem -- in this case $52 million for additional  market oversight. Even then, said the Great One,  he can't solve the problem overnight.  Clearly, when it comes to real solutions,  he's running on fumes.

Hookergate: Girls underage?

Uh-oh ...Just when the  Colombian hooker scandal was blowing over, so to speak, comes news that some of the girls may have been underage.

Barack Obama's Diary

Boo-boo to the rescue

 Dear Diary: Home again and not a moment too soon. The dead-tree media  have been having a field day with  pictures of Hillary living la vida loca at some Cartagena dive while  chugging a bottle of  Colombian rotgut. A Brit newspaper is asking if Hillary is becoming an embarrassment. Becoming? Then came the fuss about my referring to  the Falkland islands as the Maldives not the Malvinas which upset the Albanians who claim it as theirs...Oh wait ... maybe it's the Argentinians. Whatever.  All this in the wake of the  mortifying Secret Service debacle. I asked Jarrett and Axelrod to arrange for the senior executives of the Secret service to be coated with honey and  hung by their wiggly bits over the South Lawn  beehive. I can hear their cries as I write. Music to my ears. I must get a grip... Time to say a prayer to myself, close the laptop and so to bed. Marv has slipped Boo-boo my blankey under my pillow. I will cuddle him and try to ignore  the noise outside. Not that I'm a vindictive person. Maybe ants will find those bastids during the night and slowly pick the flesh from their bones. Not that I'm a vindictive person. Far from it. Barry love Boo-boo...um-num-num.
