More of same

Jokes you won't hear on late night or SNL. But for democracy to survive, someone must do it.

Obama chose Biden for his 35 years of Senate service. 35 years, now that is a seasoned ticket. Between them that would make, oh, about 37 years of experience.

Obama was listed as the #1 liberal before the election, ahead of Biden at #3 and Socialist Sanders at #2. Now I see why he bristled at being called a socialist. He didn't want to be classified with the right wing. Those conservatives over in Moscow are going to challenge him right away. No wonder you need an elephant on the right, just to keep the government from tipping over.

A MSNBC correspondent expressed his disappointment this weekend that terrorists weren't stopping their violent acts after Obama's election. He thought the world would love us now that we had elected Obama. Meanwhile, the correspondent is flying to England to do a documentary on why that German guy started a war, even though England had a popular prime minister.

There is a lot of excitement about Gitmo closing. Make the terrorists go back to live in Afghanistan, that'll teach 'em.

Dems are angry that Obama has chosen Gates to remain Secretary of Defense. They wanted him to select an established moderate realist from the Democrat party, experienced in military matters and supported by generals, like, um, uh, um ... Hmmmm, I can't think of anyone either.

Obama supports efforts to bring Joe Lieberman back to the Dem fold. He thinks that we need to let bygones be bygones, at least until he can show Franken how to steal the Minnesota election and get the 60th vote.

Election officials may audit Obama's campaign, with its unaccounted foreign donations and secret donor lists. Obama is trying to find someone who has experience handling deep financial investigations, explaining away lost records and dancing around shady accounting practices. He has a potential candidate, but he wonders how she can handle the investigation and the State Department at the same time.

Saxby Chambliss won back his seat in a landslide, despite efforts by Obama and millions of dollars spent on Martin's campaign. ACORN activists were seen dejectedly removing campaign signs from the cemetaries and park benches.

Obama angrily retorted that they should have listening better in his classes.

Obama now has 59 votes in the senate. While he does not have a filibuster-proof block, at least he is guaranteed a majority among the 57 states.
