Barack Obama Sucks At Giving Presents

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Not cool, Barry.This is sort of shocking, honestly — who would have thought that a guy who’s so great at throwing fancy dinner parties and entertaining guests would be such a shitty gift-giver? President Obama gave British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a set of 25 great American films on his recent visit to the US, whereas Brown gave Obama a pen, for heaven’s sake, and a book. Millions of Britons are appalled at this asymmetry of gifts. Why must Barack Obama crap all over our “special relationship” with Britain, &c. &c? [Daily Mail]

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Thank you Canada!Faithful commenter “Norbert” sends us this touching image from Canuckistan. President Obama will be visiting in a few days, and the Canadians are quite excited! “Here is a kind of lousy photo of a great restaurant window in my hood in Toronto (a city here in Canada),” our commenter instructs us. “Maybe he will like the painting better than the mixtape.” Hmm, maybe! Wherever they go, Americans love to be greeted with portraits of Marky-Mark and the White House social secretary.

SPARE CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN

Terrible Michelle And Barack Obama Don’t Give Their Kids Birthday Presents

Friday, July 25th, 2008

No presents for you!Well, this is the topper. Barack Obama cannot be the American president because he refuses to participate in our glorious national tradition of giving our children lots of expensive plastic shit for them to choke on all the time. These communist Obamas throw birthday parties for their tots but do not give them actual presents. What other subversive values are the Obamas teaching their children? MORE »

And now this deer is dead.John Hugya, Pennsylvania Representative Jack Murtha’s chief of staff, used Murtha campaign funds to buy a rifle and some knives and other gun-nut baubles at an auction held by the Friends of the National Rifle Association. And then Hugya counted the $2151 he spent as a gift from the Murtha campaign, even though the Murtha folks said the money was a payment to Friends of the NRA for “advertising.” Talk about a scandal!

It’s Not His Fault He’s So Likable!

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

Brian Williams is, like, soooo mean about all the gifts that people wanted to give former Governor Mike Huckabee. I mean, he’s just such an awesome dude that of course people wanted to give him stuff which was totally legal anyway. I mean, who wouldn’t want to outfit his wife, Janet, with $23,000 of inaugural clothes, or give Mike guitars, or award them both jewelry, free dental care and free dry cleaning. And, if course, back in his fat days, it was a true kindness that Wendy’s gave him 50 percent off all his hamburgers. It’s because he’s nice, ok? There’s nothing shady about it at all.
