Top Cutlines:

1. To make a dramatic entrance into the town hall meeting, President Obama demands to be fired from a circus cannon, despite advisors’ concerns that it would be difficult to replace a man of his calibre — JohnA.
2. Without the proper lighting and camera positioning, this photo reveals the lack of depth behind the carefully crafted media darling — Cabbage Boy.
3. Even Cardboard Obama shows more depth than Sarah Palin’s book — Nic.

He really is the messiah he can fly, hail to the chief hail. What do you mean I need to be on my knees when I kiss his hand?

From Deena:

Trying to keep a stiff upper lip, the President shows how board he is with all these town hall meetings.

Wafting in the breeze, Obama attempts to placate everybody!

Obama, ascending bodily into heaven pauses to promise change, as he zooms upward.

Niyal Patel wonders what Obama is doing in her schneck of the woods.

Even Cardboard Obama shows more depth than Sarah Palin’s book.

hmoffsuite: This just show’s Obama’s lack of planning and leadership abilities.
Schnecksville resident: But, sir, this is just a cardboard cutout.
hmoffsuite: Thanks for proving my point. He has no character.

This shows how the health plan will go sideways in no time.

Presidential staffer Niyal Patel carries the cardboard cutout of Obama that will be placed behind the presidential teleprompter when the president’s speech is made. Now that American has realized that Obama is nothing more than a figure behind a teleprompter, the substance of that actual figure has begun to matter less as each speech is made.
