Rick…you’ve missed your calling! All this time I just thought of you as another liberal writer at the Hartford Courant…who knew that there was a straight man in you just dying to come! This is too easy!
Don’t forget to add these to Obama’s Play List:
“Wall Street Shuffle” by 10cc
The Beatles “Taxman”
“Take the Money & Run” by Steve Miller
Pink Floyd’s “Money”
“Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits
and perhaps the best song if our anti-Ameican First Golfer wins in 2012:
“It’s the End of the World as We Know it” by R.E.M.
Thanks Rick…you really lobbed that one in there.
Rick,
Your straight line has proved all of us a wealth of material! More songs for Obama’s Play List:
Bad Time Grand Funk
Accidently in Love Counting Crows
Bad Moon Rising CCR
Desperado Eagles
Highway to Hell AC/DC
Tears of a Clown Smokey Robinson
You’re so Vain Carley Simon
You know Rick, good old Obama could save himself a lot time and bother if he fired all of the above bands and hired just one…The Dead Kennedys! Check out some of these titles for the Greatest President Ever!
Kill the Poor
Let’s Lynch the Landlord
Forward to Death
Ill in the Head
I Kill Children
Government Flu
Hellnation
I am too Druck to %$#&
Stars and Stripes of Corruption
Macho Insecurity
and perhaps the greatest song to describe the Obama years in the White House
Where Do You Draw the Line?
Todd, time for a little nap. You’ve had a very busy day!
