What I plan to do on my summer vacation. By Barack Obama

Some people think it's easy to restrict freedom, destroy liberty and crash the worlds largest economy. The truth is it is hard work. Just last week I had to invent a whole new set of economic numbers to report because the real numbers would have scared the hell out of everybody. Then there are the phone calls. Al Qaeda did this or ISIS did that or help-Iran wants to destroy us blah, blah, blah. That is why I am looking forward to my summer vacation. Once again it will be a working vacation. I will attempt to spend as much tax payer money as possible to further push us to the brink of insolvency. For security reasons I can't discuss the actual location yet but I will be golfing and bike riding and completely ignoring all the crazy stuff going on in the world. Thinking about all that can be a real drag. So what are you doing this summer?

    Hey, Barack,

    You should have taken an 8 year vacation--beginning Jan. 20 2009 and gone to Siberia and stayed there ALONE, with NO communication with anybody, until Jan 21, 2017. Afterward, you could go back to your birthplace--Kenya.

    Save for Ghostbusters, I ignore Chevy Chase due to a hillbilly kinda joke he made about the University of Alabama during his short-lived I'm glad it failed late night talk show.
    I missed that bit on Mythbusters too.
    I'd still love to see Obama to take a hard swing at such a loaded golf on YouTube. Ha! Ha!
    Especially after he makes a quick speech about "my thoughts and prayers goes out to" the family of this or that murdered ISIS hostage.

    That's not very much C4. At worst you'll ruin a golf club, and maybe the toes of the guy's shoes.

    (Remember how much the Mythbusters had to use before they could replicate the ending of Caddyshack?)

    Don't forget your shotgun, Mr. President. You must continue to foster your Second Amendment supporting profile, for the benefit of us ignorant gun owners and hunters. Oops...better have your Bible handy, too, for the "Clinging to guns and religion" aspect.

    I remember around 1969 lighting C4 to heat our rations, or to heat coffee in the field. We also used it to cut trees down on a couple of occasions, but that was actually Det-Cord.

    I am trying to post it as a new thread, but I am having trouble with the formatting. Trouble, in this case, means that halfway through the poem I stopped being able to edit it.

    I think it did - "budet" means "will be" and "idet" means "will go" I guess. I got them backwards. It has been more than 40 years. And I took "universalnyya" to be University rather than 'universal'.

    Jan, has indeed forgotten all

    how astute! . I bet that you can judge character well,
    minniepuck -- something which the school of hard
    knocks taught my wife, behind a counter in a hospital.
    she, and my first father-in-law (auto parts store for
    40 years) are/were the best I've known. -- j
