This reminds me of a common I heard frequently in the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants; it's apparently actually an ancient Russian proverb:

"The German may be a nice lad, but it's best to hang him anyway."

And they are back in a major position of power in Europe.  I think the French would last about as long as the last time against the re-unified Deutchland.    Poland might give them a bit of a go but France?  :rotf:

Pretty obvious Obama doesn't play poker worth a damn.  First off, you only bluff if you DON'T think your opponent has the balls to call you.  Second, you never bluff with your entire chip stack.

Barry doesn't know squat about having balls; that's Moochelle's department.

Maybe they don't have poker in Manchuria? Actually I doubt Mr. Present could Forrest Gump his way through a game of Go Fish with the cognitive skills group down in the day room.

He probably sucks at cards as bad as he does at bowling, baseball, and running a country.

I'm honestly dumbfounded at how this guy got anywhere through his own effort.  I can forgive being old, tired, and burned-out, but those kind of people don't run for President.

He didn't, he's a product of affirmative action.

Granted.

I'm just scratching my head wondering what his resume would look like otherwise.

He's never done anything in his life except ride along on his skin color.  Affirmative action is the reason he's sitting in the Oval Office.

Well....I'd guess that if not for affirmative action, he'd be wearing a white jacket and shorts, passing out drinks to hotel guests on Waikiki beach.

You really need to work on your Google-Fu, padawan...



Oh, the similarities...all hat, no cattle...



Although it's not nearly as funny, and I don't see Boehner as David Huddleston going, "Hold it, men.  He's not bluffing."

"Don't call my bluff........."

Interesting.......

One wonders if the "smartest guy ever to be president", knows that a "bluff" is a gambit that is only employed when one is holding a losing hand.........

This is the economic acumen that our HMIC has demonstrated:

Quote
From the New York Daily News --
"A close examination of their finances shows that the Obamas were living off lines of credit along with other income for several years until 2005, when Obama’s book royalties came through and Michelle received her 260% pay raise at the University of Chicago. This was also the year Obama started serving in the U.S. Senate…
In April 1999, they purchased a Chicago condo and obtained a mortgage for $159,250. In May 1999, they took out a line of credit for $20,750. Then, in 2002, they refinanced the condo with a $210,000 mortgage, which means they took out about $50,000 in equity. Finally, in 2004, they took out another line of credit for $100,000 on top of the mortgage.
     Tax returns for 2004 reveal $14,395 in mortgage deductions. If we assume an effective interest rate of 6%, then they owed about $240,000 on a home they purchased for about $159,250.
     This means they spent perhaps $80,000 beyond their income from 1999 to 2004."
     Would you let people so silly take charge of your own budget?

So, America's gullible voters put in charge of the country a man whose own history of dealing with his family's finances shows him to be utterly irresponsible. Why should we be surprised at the result?

Wow!  :o Thanks for that, Jukin. 

"Don't call my bluff."  That qualifies as a gaffe.  Add it to the list.
