Obama Keeps Child Slaves In Fancy Illegal House

The front page of GOP.com — one of America’s top sources of humor — uses this graphic to represent “Obama’s Glass Houses.” It links to a scandalous item about how Obama locked into a modestly below-average mortgage rate because he had good credit. Oh no that is terrible oh no. We’re mostly interested in the “glass house” illustration in this graphic, however. Is that what a Liberal’s illegally-financed home looks like? All clear-like with fancy angles and such? Indeed, most Liberals live in subprime replicas of Dulles airport. [GOP.com]

    A boon for all the peeping toms in the ‘hood.

    Oh. My. God. A lawyer negotiated a good deal for himself. Call. The. Fucking. Press. NOW!

  3. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:58 pm, July 7th, 2008

    I would rather be in a glass house then a house of boy-child prostitution.

  4. EnBuenOra says at 4:02 pm, July 7th, 2008

    It is totally statistically impossible for Obama to have received a modestly below-average mortgage rate, because the word “average” means everyone everywhere has the exact same rate to the penny, right?

  5. Noodle Salad says at 4:02 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Glass house = Green house = MARIHUANA!

    ps - one has to admire Barry’s stubborn handsomeness, even in RNC attack-ad photographs.

    Video of Eero Saarinen shouting “God damn Frank Lloyd Wright” appearing in five… four… three…

  7. Jobbotch says at 4:03 pm, July 7th, 2008

    …And is that a feeble attempt to match Obama’s Gotham font?

  8. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:04 pm, July 7th, 2008

    I just threw up a bit in my mouth just thinking about Dulles airport.

    I’ve been saying for the past four months that McCain really ought to find an issue to campaign on if he plans on winning this thing. Making his entire campaign revolve solely on a single issue - his opponent - makes him look like he’s got fuck-all else to talk about.

    Which has the distinction of being true, but it ain’t no way to run a railroad, let alone win an election.

    Jeebus on a crossbow, Juan, foment for the new Crusades or summut, but don’t just keep droning on about Hopey. You’re only giving him free advertising and making yourself look like a frightened pussy.

    Which also has the distinction of being true, but….

    Arugula-eating elitsts are always trying to foist their Dadaist/brutalist architecture on our nice, family-friendly suburbs. Why can’t you people buy garish neo-classical Disney Castles like the rest of us?

  11. NoWireHangers says at 4:07 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Maybe President Obama can use his financial finesse when dealing with America’s Chinese lenders.

  12. pat robertson' says at 4:08 pm, July 7th, 2008

    meh. that’s nothing. just wait for my diorama in honor of republican heroes: the minneapolis-st. paul international airport (complete with cruisy toilets, the 426 adopted children of michelle bachmann, and other things you might expect for the gateway to the mall of america).

  13. jagorev says at 4:12 pm, July 7th, 2008

    So, basically, anything inspired by Mies van de Rohe is unpatriotic and unAmerican now? Well, they can have my Barcelona chair when they pry my cold, dead ass off it.

  14. “A Product Of The RNC Research Department”

    That’s some fine work there, Lou.

    Four out of the five rotating topics on McCain’s website are about Obama.

    Somebody’s a little obsessed!

  15. Oh, and my favorite is the one with the Iraq playing card stuck to Obama’s forehead.

    WTF?!?! Are these Republicans five years old?

  16. Tawmn says at 4:16 pm, July 7th, 2008

    People involved in the Glendale Savings and Loan scandal shouldn’t throw rocks… s’all I’m sayin is all.

  17. AxmxZ says at 4:21 pm, July 7th, 2008
  18. obfuscator says at 4:26 pm, July 7th, 2008

    I’m sure Barry’s using that .0315% worth of savings to fund an abortion parlor/gay marriage chapel.

  19. Uncle Al says at 4:35 pm, July 7th, 2008

    AndTawmn: And guys who marry rich trollops who just pay cash for their houses shouldn’t bitch about other guys getting ANY kind of mortgage….

  20. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:43 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Tawmn: Only great, under the table deals.

  21. loquaciousmusic says at 4:47 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Cool! Obama lives in the house from North by Northwest. Is that so he can get a headstart carving his likeness into Mt. Rushmore?

  22. tunamelt says at 4:58 pm, July 7th, 2008

    People in glass houses should not walk around naked.

  23. Scarab says at 5:01 pm, July 7th, 2008

    I’m confused, which one of Obama’s seven homes is this one?

  24. toastandlove says at 5:09 pm, July 7th, 2008

    That glass house clip-art is awesome. It has a flight of stairs going to a nonexistent second floor, and it reflects itself. It was designed by famous Elitist MC Escher, who was an artist and mathematician, neither of which are professions for Hard Working Americans.

  25. Rev. Peter Lemonjello says at 5:15 pm, July 7th, 2008

    But does the house face the East?

  26. la nueva chica bond says at 5:27 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Wow. The Northern Trust is the MOST conservative bank in Chicago. Probably gives $71,000 everyday to the Repubs. Don’t they handle George’s money?

  27. Tawmn says at 5:42 pm, July 7th, 2008

    tunamelt: Okay. Sorry ’bout that.

  28. tunamelt: Depends on their anatomy or configuration thereof.

  29. Future scandals include him not paying a lot for his muffler, suspiciously generous portions of curly fries at Jack in the Box, Free Fixin’s at Roy Rogers and Northern Trust disclosing they gave him a toaster to open a passbook account.

  30. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:52 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Don’t throw teenage pages from glass houses.

  31. He should have negotiated a subprime loan like Rep. Richardson who almost lost her home. Fucking elitist bastard, actually reading the fine print and negotiating a loan he could afford.

  32. uncletravelingmatt says at 6:44 pm, July 7th, 2008

    snig: Thanks for the muffler bit.

  33. populucious says at 6:56 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Good credit scores are un-American, dag nabbit! It means you are not overextending yourself buying crap you don’t need in order to fight terror. Why does Barak Obama support terror with his conservative use of credit cards?

  34. Lascauxcaveman says at 6:58 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Wait, I call bullshit. Black people get mortgages? I always thought they rented.

  35. obfuscator says at 10:29 pm, July 7th, 2008

    populucious:

    He would have seemed so much more ‘Merican if he’d signed for an ARM starting out at 5.7%, then defaulting after it went up to 17.9% in 24 months.

  36. tunamelt: Unless they are Obamas.

  37. gurukalehuru says at 2:55 am, July 8th, 2008

    People who live in a series of glass luxury condo type houses, stretched coast to coast, and including an Arizona desert version of the Neverland ranch, should not throw stones.
