BREAKING: Obama sees movie, has popcorn...developing...
Can it get any sillier?

http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0808/Obama_sees_movie_has_popcorndeveloping.html

The RNC, hoping against hope that Obama will get in some windsurfing on his vacation, is keeping close tabs on the Democrat as he enjoys some time off in Hawaii.

They just sent over this bulletin: "The Honolulu Star Bulletin reports Barack Obama ate popcorn and watched the 3:40 showing of the Dark Knight in theater 9 yesterday."

Seeing a summer action flick and eating popcorn is hardly elitist, but wait, there is more.

Obama has said, the RNC hastens to note, that Batman and Spiderman are his favorite superheroes, citing their "inner turmoil."

Ahh, there it is.

Real, red-blooded Americans, evidently, are only supposed to like superheroes because they have nifty outfits and beat up the bad guys. To look beyond the surface or glean some larger meaning from the characters naturally implies Obama has the sort of egghead end effette approach to life that would leaad us to analyze our enemies instead of defeat them.

Or something like that.

It would be easier if he just went wind-surfing.

1. Hey! I heard he went to a "4-star" restaurant; CNN told me so.
I'm sure the rest of the world will know before long.

Yes, very silly. Leave the poor guy and his family alone!

4. Yes, but did he put his feet on the seat in front of him or what?
This information is vital, apparently.

9. Did he have butter on his popcorn?
If he did: Oooh, Mr. Millionaire can afford all the extras in life. He'll never connect with the common man.

If he didn't: Of course not. He is one of those protein bar-eating, arugula appreciating elitists.

14. That movie was a corporate pile of dung
I don't see how anyone can actually walk away from that movie and claim it was the greatest thing they'd ever seen.

Fuckin terrible.

15. Still ON VACATION IN HAWAII. Right?
Lou Dobbs now spewing promo crap about Obama flip flopping on oil drilling. Why is it Republicans change positions and Democrats flip flop?

artificially manufactured "volatile" conflict between Russia and Georgia seriously enough. Afterall, he's basking in the sun, going to the movies, surfing, laying on the beach while chaos consumes the world. :sarcasm: Don't know what I'm taking about?

I don't like what I'm thinking.

These people are pure sleaze bags.
