Barack Obama, the Man Who Never Worked in the Private Sector, Speaks

A friend e-mails this quote from the speech:

But by avoiding some of the overhead that gets eaten up at private companies by profits, excessive administrative costs and executive salaries, it could provide a good deal for consumers.

Barack Obama thinks profits are overhead?

  1. Banjo says:

    To what far shore will this sudden turn toward commonsense by the affluent silly people take us?

  2. CPM says:

    Perhaps it will help the canine’s ability to focus and, possibly, live in harmony with cats? Better yet, maybe it will increase the supply of happy molecules floating around and that will assist in our current President’s plan for nuclear disarmament! You can sense the possibilities here.

  3. Ziggy Zoggy says:

    My dogs do intestinal yoga every day and I don’t pay a dime for it. Besides, I don’t think upper West Siders have enough time for doga. Psychiatry, Feng Shui, Kabala, facebook, kick boxing, Obama fund raisers, and cocktail parties take up all their doggies’ time. There are only so many days in the week.

  4. Steven from Indiana says:

    Be in harmony with your mutt! It makes sense to me. After all, “Dog Pose” is one of the most basic yoga poses. “Doggie Style” is also one of the most frequently mimicked poses we learn from our canine mentors. Our President performed both of these “Dog” poses with the monarch of Saudi Arabia, just last week. OOOHHHMMM.

  5. Ari says:

    Did JRub just paint everyone on the Upper West Side with one broad brush? Let’s hope we never see her criticize Democrats who make generalizations about the South.

  6. Ziggy Zoggy says:

    Steven,

    I laughed out loud when I read your comment! I can imagine what Obama was doing when he mouthed: “OOOHHHMMM.”

    Ari,

    the upper West Side is far more inbred than the South ever was. At least the South has more than three people with differing opinions.

  7. Cas Balicki says:

    When do classes for bears start? You know the “Yoga Bear” classes out in Jellystone.

  8. J.E. Dyer says:

    Dogs are unbelievably “sympathique.” What other animal would sit still for this? Imagine trying it with a cat. Or a goat.

  9. CK MacLeod says:

    If there was no stimulus money or earmark for dog yoga, there should have been.

  10. biblio44 says:

    Upper West Side? There’s no mention of Upper West Side in the article. Mentioned are Manhattan; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Chicago; Connecticut. If this weren’t Commentary, I’d pass it off as a little smarmy anti-Semitism.
