Wonkette
Oh well this is nice, HMM? Young Florida person Julio got the opportunity to ask Barack Obama a question at the Fort Myers town hall today and he was very excited about this. He explained that he’s a college student working at McDonald’s — he hates working there! — and wanted Barry to tell him what to do. Barry responded, “Uhh well once you get your college degree, then you can stop working at McDonald’s, dude,” but more politely than that. Hooray! Good luck with jobs and life, Julio.
Julio the cooker.
Wait… what? can’t he just smuggle drugs?
Im taking my time
But I dont know where
Goodbye to rosie the queen of corona
See you, me and julio
Down by the schoolyard
He’ll have to stop because his student loan payments will start after graduation, and if he has an actual job, the collection agencies will know where to find him.
I saw this guy, and he might as well have had an “I’m SO Gonna YouTube This” bubble over his head.
He was gunnin’ for Don’t Tase Me, Bro status from the get-go.
BO called on him as the last guy. After Julio got after it, BO was very clearly mentally kicking himself. Also.
Unfortunately for Julio he is major is “Fierceness” with a minor in “Street Cred.” These may not translate into an immediate full time offer from a Fortune 500 company.
At least he has a job.
Way to get fired from McDonalds, dood.
But did he manage to reach out and touch the edge of Barry’s tunic?
Obama:
“Mental note: No Happy Meals for the kids next time we’re in Florida”
…he reminds me of a contestant on “The Price is Right”!
bitchincamaro: Julio the Stoner.
“OMG GRACIOUS GOD MCDONALDSHEALTHCARE DISC JOCKEY!!!! RRRAAARGHHH!”
Just a thought: if you can’t find a better job does it make sense to talk shit about your present job on national teevee? Maybe he’ll get an offer from Wendy’s to be assistant manager or something.
FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!

I’m imagining all the Julio impersonations on AF 1 on the way back. Prez at this point needs some big laughs. Thanks Julio!
Julio should get a job as first Mexican guy to ever wear a shirt with Martin Luther King on it.
Wow. He’s a President AND a life coach! I’m very impressed and welcome our Muslin overlord!
Nice job, Julio. Now someone get that kid a job as a war correspondent in - oh, wait, Gaza’s over for the time being, Afghanistan?
just imagine how biden would have handled this one.
AngryBlakGuy: Thanks. I couldn’t figure out what he reminded me of, but that’s it exactly. That would have bugged me all evening.
Aww, Julio was really cute. That made me smile. Good for him. See, Barry does inspire the kids to stay in school, get a job, and only smoke the bong a few a days a week before working the deep fryer.
…he’ll have his own reality show by the end of the week.
And then Charlie Crist, the governator of the Sunshine State, invited Julio back to the mansion to “flip some burgers”. He even showed the young man his hose!
Wait, people still have jobs? Crazy.
Joe the Plumber is so 2008. Julio can do his shtick!
JULIO DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR THE PARTY?
Not the best moment of the engagement with the bitters. A few people earlier, a homeless lady broke down and told MFP BHO that she was living in a car and needed help. MFP BHO got off the stage, laid hands on the woman and said his staff would attend her her.
I can only imagine the heart breaking stories MFP BHO will hear the next time he steps out. I’m sure W is giggling that MFP BHO should have screened the questions/bitters better before engaging.
AngryBlakGuy: Worse. He’ll be a correspondent with MSNBC.
I got me my own stimulus plan worked out. I’m in the path of a tornado (but just little ones–knock on wood) and just pulled out the warranty on the surge protectors. I am so not unplugging anything. That giant old 60 inch screen teevee needs to go.
Clancy_Pants: Julio the DJ?
BigDupa: I’m sure W is giggling that MFP BHO even has to hear heartbreaking stories to begin with considering he created the mess and Barry is the one who has to hear them.
Julio would have more street cred appeal if he wore his baseball cap sideways.
And I really need the smaller teevee replaced on my warranty plan, too. I just looked at the president and I couldn’t sworn he was black.
I’m pretty sure Julio is going to be moving into a halfway house soon…
What’s the liberal equivalent of Pajamas Media? Talking Points Memo? Daily Kos? Huffington Post? Whoever it is needs to fire all of their existing blogger and give this man a lucrative contract, pronto.
I can’t see video’s from my job here at the peaunut butter plant but we are looking for outspoken individuals to work with the media.
I was dreading the moment Julio announced his major. I feared Drama. Communications is as bad, except he can get a job on the teevee, as crazy as he is.
Ugh it’s so annoying when they say that Julio is asking “his commander in chief” a question. No, he’s not. The President isn’t commander in chief of EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES EVER. Just people that had to join the army ‘cos they couldn’t get a real job like Julio’s.
In honor of Julio I went across the street for a Quarter Pounder. The same Quarter Pounder will be used in four hours to honor Joe the Plumber.
Okay, Julio is kind of an attention whore, but I’ve seen worse. Oh and some Fox News dude likes children’s porn or something?
no julio don’t do it! i majored in communication, and i can’t find a damn job to save my life; so uh you might want to pick a new major or soon a job at mcdonald’s will be looking mighty good. man, how hard was barry trying not to laugh at crazy julio, for a while there i didn’t think he’d make it through without cracking up.
Kev-O-Tron:
Four hours? Was that a quarter pounder with prune juice?
sarcasticusername: One of my friends graduated with communications and is now a personal trainer. He’s like 25.
Julio didn’t seem concerned that his question wasn’t really answered. But then again it really wasn’t a question. He’s majoring in communications, is he?
Oh, Julio! Bless your heart. (Something tells me you’re not the sharpest knife in the drawer.)
The gals behind Hopey, furiously snapping photos of the back of His Head were sooo distracting!!
(His people should do something about this.)
Compared to the woman with the fuzzy white hair at the McCain rally in Lakeville, MN, this guy is in Mensa.
Man, I wish I had thought to go ask Reagan “WTF?” back when I was a college doofus. I coulda had it all figgered out now.
Rush: I might be able to help you out. I’m a very outspoken individual, I appear regularly on Wonkette, and I’ve survived the FBI and salmonella several times, no problem. You may contact my reference, David Denby.
What’s with the arm waving? Is he an extra in a Cher video?
Wonkette should offer this guy an intern job.
Is Julio the new, progressive Joe the Plumber? See a video of CNN’s interview with him here:
http://gotchamedia.blogspot.com/2009/02/julio-mcdonalds-worker.html
Cathangover: Believe it or not, that job’s probably taken - I saw a few latinos buying & wearing King/Obama t-shirts at the “‘King-dom’ Day Parade” last Jan 19…
Canuck13652: That CINC stuff is a Bush legacy. No president before him ever used that honorific so much. Yes, Prince Charles in Prince of Wales, and Queen Elizabeth is Defender of the Faith, but they don’t go around reminding everybody all the time. Chimpy just groooved on all that military fol-de-rol, ’cause when he was in the military he was, to put delicately, a big pussy. Maybe it’ll go away now.
I though Florida was like, the meth capitol of the world… STOP SMOKIN’ THE PRODUCT DOODE!
I love the “MLK and Obama” tall tee.
Hooray For Anything: I wish i could give you a hug dude!
sarcasticusername: Yeah, Communication major here too, only i went a step further in the uselessness department and added a Philosophy minor. Now i help sell weapons and ball bearings for the man. God i hate myself.
Oh don’t taunt me with the possibility of Barry actually saying “Don’t make me kick your butt, Julio”. I could die happy.
Not to worry - the paper here in Naples is reporting that Julio, the pride of Edison State College, has gotten a “gig” with the Miracle (local minor league baseball team) as the radio color announcer. Maybe it was colored announcer? Anyway, big props to Barry for exercising his socialist skillz. Julio plans to hurry up and learn about baseball to prepare for the job. It’s just for one game though so I hope he doesn’t leave old Mickey D’s.
Floridians always shines so bright…like a beautiful flame under a meth filled beaker.
and yes, I said Floridians shines…as I grew up in Orlando, it’s my prerogative.
Deepthroat: Aww thanks, Deep Throat. The thing about being unemployed these days is that it’s kinda trendy– everybody’s doing it. Plus, it appears I’m not the only one spending all day posting on Wonkette as a way to avoid checking Craigslist postings/crying yourself to sleep.
I was totally going to make a joke about Julio majoring in “Communications,” but truth is stranger than hilarious fiction.
To quoth the Springfield University quarterback on the Simpsons: “I know! Is phony major. Lubchenko learn nothing.”
Props to Prez O for not pointing out that da youts’ only ambition these days is show biz. You could go to trucker school, Julio, and get a more societally useful job in a couple of months. Hardass hours but the freedom of the road and no hot grease.
V572625694: Oh, I agree. But it’s just ridiculous that now suddenly everyone calls the President their “Commander in Chief,” which basically suggests dictatorial and military powers over everyone. Ugh!
He is studying in college to be a disc jockey. His dissertation, “Shout-outs to The Fort Posses 1999-2003, A Qualitative Evaluation”, is said to be required reading in this academic field.
Barack should have just looked at him and said “You will abide, dude.”
What amazes me is that Talk Radio is making fun of this guy all day today. Come on, he is just a dude. Dude’s can ask questions. Who says questioning should be limited to only illegal plumbers/war corespondents?
Will someone remind me why Florida is still a state? Can’t we just give it back to Spain? Or sell it to Cuba? Hell, why don’t we just make it the new Gitmo?
BitterDwarf: In Florida, he would then have to compete with the half of state that doesn’t work for Disney.
AngryBlakGuy: Nailed it. I was thinking either the annoying little teen in any SF movie that gets killed at about the middle point or the teenager who comes into the studio in Talk Radio.
Whatever dude, but keep him away from Malia… I’m just sayin’….
whoa apparently being super enthusiastic has worked out for this kid. he’s on keith olbermann right now and apparently he’s gotten a broadcasting internship and some other stuff out of this; not bad for a couple of minutes work.
I found him rather charming in an addled, ADD, kind of way, but in Hi-Def he really needed a facial with extractions.
WTF…. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE ! HA HA HA I’M FU!@#$ING SPEECHLESS. JULIO … PLEASE, PLEASE I DONT CARE WHAT BARRY, THE ANOINTED ONE, SAID TO YOU ….DO NOT …YOU HEAR ME… DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB!!!!
A president who actually gives a shit. It’s enough to make anybody freak out.
I’m with you NoNewKid! I was actually at this thing and from the second he opened his mouth I thought he was trolling the president. The Agent Smith next to me was setting his taser to kill.
Also: Wonkette, my friend Mike and I recognized you but the whole Air America thing threw us off. WTF why not introduce yourself by name when you interview people? Anyway, hope you had fun in my hometown… I haven’t for almost 20 years now. Also is Air America accepting job applications?
Daaaang, Julio cranking his ass off. Slow down, dude. Speed kills!
You’re only as good as the people you hire. - Ray Kroc (rolling over in his grave, fo shizzle, aight)
Julio is the latest sensation! This clown needs more than a 4 year education before a real company will pick him up and hire him. Reminds me of so many folks I’ve either met or seen who voted for Obama.
There is a great spin off video of this guy over at http://www.leftrightnews.com You should link it.
So Barry. You done with the “listening tour” yet?
Also. Barry pronounced the ethnicity in JUloi more than Julio did. It was a lil weird.
Julio looks like a Mexican jumping bean at the very end of the clip—what a freak!
I’m glad for Julio, he seems sincere and willing to work. He’s fucking worked at McDonald’s for FOUR AND HALF YEARS ALAN and he loves jeebus (and, uh, won’t stop praising him) so I’m sure whoever gives him a chance will get a hard worker. Unfortunately for his desire to work in broadcasting he does not seem to be able to think on his feet, nor does he appear to be very articulate, based on his Obama time & Olbermann appearance. He may want to set his career sights in another direction. Or concentrate on the disc jockey partof his aspirations. And get a facial. Also.
BELIEVE IN JULIO for some reason. LET’S CREATE A STATUE.
Move over Joe the Plumber. Palin/Julio 2012!
Barry and Julio down by the schoolyard?
I am a gorgeous girl, like dancing,hiking,making friends and sometime camping. Welcome to view my photo under the name “Serena544″ on http://www.BlackWhiteKiss.com where many black or white singles seeking love online.
Julio the Burger Flipper is like the libtard Joe The Plumber. Amy Goodman will probably send him to Venezuela to report on Hugo Chavez’ peoples revolution for Democracy Now.
I’ve wished that I was gay so many times thanks to guys like Julio. Florida produces the most pathetic men ever. It is a cultural black hole.
Here’s another interview with Julio, this one on Olbermann. Now apparently he’s getting all kinds of job offers:
http://gotchamedia.blogspot.com/2009/02/julio-on-olbermann.html
Andy Card would like to point out that previous presidents would not have talked to a man so shabbily dressed. Muah.
Cathangover: Not to get too pedantic, but Julio lives in Florida so he’s probably of Cuban or Puerto Rican background, not Mexican. More to the point, I thought Julio came across as an idiot, and I know my Chicano boyfriend would not be thrilled to have him labeled Mexican.
BigDupa: Did you see the white lady behind the homeless lady? She was gazing at Obama like a lovesick puggy and mouthing the words “I love you, Barack.” Swear to God!
Facho: Oh right, the people who voted for McCain/Palin are so much brighter. Please go away.
yellowdogdem: Meant “puppy”
