Obama saves falling man or something

Worst metaphor ever.

Do they actually consider this good writing?

The day Obama was elected, a guy fell out a window on the 75th floor.
Last edited Tue Sep 4, 2012, 08:51 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

When Obama took office, the man had fallen all the way to the 30th floor, plummeting toward the pavement. The Republicans had pushed all the buttons in the elevator, so the new President ran down the stairwell, dodging the grasping hands and body checks of the Republicans the whole way down.

He got out the door and started constructing a net to catch the falling man, the Republicans trying to grab his hands and pilfer his building materials all the while. The net was put together just in time, and the falling man was safely caught before he struck the sidewalk.

The Republicans by this time had locked the door of the building, so being stuck outside, Obama started putting together a ladder for the man to climb back up, but the Republicans kept coming around unplugging his power tools and trying to cart away his building supplies. Finally Obama finished the ladder, overcoming the Republicans' efforts to restrain him as he leaned it up against the building. The man began to climb back up again.

Now, as a new election approaches, the man has only reached the 30th floor, EXACTLY where he was when Obama took office.

Obama has therefore accomplished nothing.

Vote for Mitt Romney, because Republicans know all about running Government efficiently.



After all, why side with Sisyphus when you can side with gravity?


Where to start?

Do we mention that Obama had a solid majority in the House and a filibuster proof senate?

or that he passed his stimulus without a single GOP amendment or vote?

or that he got everything he asked for until 2011?

or that he squandered his opportunity on an ossified GM, thuggish unions and boondoggles like Solyndra?

or that the reason there are so many Teahadists in congress today is because they were hired to stop him?

or that he continues to rule by decree even today?

or that Sisyphus was actually a lying, murdering, incestous dickhead who deserved his torments so siding with gravity would be the moral thing to do?

You left out the part about Obama pushing him.  The day it was clear that Obama was the President-elect marks the final nosedive of the market, which finally bottomed out two months after he took office.

How about that the democrats aren't as innocent in wrecking things as democrats would have us believe.

True, having a Democrat Congress from 2006 onward is also a big factor in what happened.

That is simply one of the stupidest things I have ever seen written out.

I like this narrative better.....
Quote
This guy falls out of the 75th floor window. Obama rushes down the stairs avoiding the Republicans by issuing an executive order.

As the guy passes the 30th floor, he observes that nothing bad has happend so far. He smiles as he knows that Obama will save him.

As Obama reaches ground level, he looks at his watch and says, "Shit, I'll miss my golf game!" He hails his motorcade.

Just curious... is there a reason why there are 75 floors?

This story is incredibly stupid.  Poor helpless Obama and the evil Republicans.

75 is a "D", the lowest passing grade. Grade inflation.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

I thought it was pretty good for the DUmp.

Of course the DUmpmonkey plagiarized it from somewhere else, but still, it was pretty good.

Instead of all that flailex, all Obama had to do (in the story) was holler at the man to fall until he was three feet from the ground, than jump.

Anyone can safely jump three feet.
This too shall pass.

"Jump" ? That's racist.
