How cute....
We all thought that maybe this time, this president would be different.
Sisyphus comes to mind.

Ugly DUmmy Warpy chimes in. Through a fog of painkiller addiction, she begs to differ:

1. I think the story of Tantalus is more appropriate
The CalPig, mouth agape, is as expert on mythology as she is poetry:

I agree with your example of Sisyphus.
Damn.
And finally, an anonymous, faceless, unknown unterprimitiven weighs in:

Hope that this president would at least keep the interests of those who need it most and change that would at least take some measure of those who gain the most from this country to start to pay for what they keep...
Well, we can all gather, there truly is one continuum, one that we could stretch all the way back to those who came to this country. That continuum has, more and more, etched the reality that class mobility, once the American Dream, is a nothing more than myth.
Sisyphus comes to mind.
I have been at this game since I, a lad of 11, joined up with some Hippies to bring environmental issues to the good people of the Western suburbs of Cleveland.
When I was 13, I organized a five minute walk out from my Junior High to protest against the Vietnam War.
The more that things change, the more they stay the same...

He said it would happen in the first 6 months--he meant first 6 years.
Gird up your loins.
A generated, international crisis to test Obama's mettle.
He's gonna need us.
Need our help.
To stand with him.
Initially, it won't be apparent that we're right.
Obama will clean the Augean stables.
We'll be asking 'why is this thing so tough?
Why are they down in the polls?'
They'll have to make the tough decisions.
"Remember the faith you had at this point because you’re going to have to reinforce us."
Remember?
Prophetic?
Pathetic?
You decide.

Ah yes, Sisyphus. The Greek god of sissies.

Demi-god, son of Zeus, trying to accomplish an insurmountable task as penance for murdering his own sons in a mad frenzy?
Senseless DUmmy, what part of that fits the tale of King Hussein?

I copied the last line ..... "We have the ability to straighten it out. It’s gonna take a little bit of time, so I ask you to stay with us. Stay with us." .....OK, so when can we move in with the "P" and "VP"? I really would like to try some of that there wagyu steak.

If Obama had a son..........he'd be cleaning stables.

No comparison. Sisyphus had to roll the boulder up the hill himself. Dear Leader can talk the idiots who cast their vote his way to do it for him.

Yeah. His speech Tuesday is essentially an exercise in trying to persuade everyone to roll the boulder for him.

Think I'll spend the day in the woods. If I stay home, it'll be wall to wall Obama all day.

More like Icarus, the kid who kept overreaching until all of his support melted away.

It didn't. (S)he looked up Greek Mythology, saw Hercules, remembered "Augean stables" and thought (s)he would try and look smart.

This president reminds me of the talking ass from the Bible.

This president reminds me of an ostrich....his head is buried in the sand so he has to talk out his ass.

Demi-god,
She's that old lady who used to be married to Bruce Willis, then to the guy in the Canon commercials half her age.
