At noon, Big O and I are meeting with what's left of the CEO of Wall Street firms, as well as some presidents of community banks. I expect with that kind of crowd, the meeting's going to have a kind of "Grasshopper and the Ant" feel about things. That's why the community bankers are getting a hot lunch, and the CEOs were asked to brown-bag it.
Last night, Toes and Gibbsy talked to some reporters on background and said that the Big Guy wasn't going to take the Wall Street executives to the woodshed, which was easy to promise since we turned the woodshed into a playhouse for the girls three weeks ago, and Big Guy and the execs out there in the pink playhouse wouldn't be a good photo op ... for anyone.
There's also the issue of the CEOs in attendance having raised millions for the Big Guy's primary and general election campaigns. Some people might think that would be uncomfortable for us, or that maybe we'd feel guilty, or that we'd give the money back.
Those people clearly haven't been paying attention to how we in the Obama Administration do bidness.

ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! Its great that you can keep a such a great sense of humor around all of those really serious people. (seriously deranged, that is)
ReplyDeleteADAM....no number 3 wasn't fair....I am having bad visions.....
ReplyDeleteThey better get an idea that is more thought out that just lending to people without qualifications.

Totus,
ReplyDeleteI love your emblem. It is so handsome.
Adam,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mental image I will be carrying around with me for the rest of the day. I just threw up a little.
Virgoagogo....can you only imagine the sounds that would accompany such an event.....actually, don't imagine it - human ears were not designed to handle such horrors.
ReplyDeleteWeek in Review, Carnival Games & Carny Tricks? What is going on at our Capitol Washington D.C.?

OH TOTUS you must know all about CARNY JARGON.
Dear TOTUS, any intel or gossip on Dr Bob Basso's "visit" to the White House yesterday (3/26)? Rumor has it he was summoned by The Boss after Dr Bob's re-enactment of Tom Paine showed up on UTube and everyone started watching it. Just want to make sure he got away safely...
ReplyDeleteDear TOTUS,
ReplyDeleteI overheard the Secretary of State giving a speech, of sorts. Something about using Mexico as a role model for the U.S.A.
I am concerned with her delivery however. Was she reading from a crumpled piece of paper? So monotone, and without rhythm (Bill has it, why not her?).
Can you not get one of your crisp, glorious text scrolling friends to travel with her and help her out? It was embarrassing.

ReplyDeleteAny chance that Obama could hit up these CEO's for some extra cash, in order to pay off all the back taxes of his appointees? God knows they need it...
TOTUS, do you know when Dr. Bob Basso (Tom Paine video fame) is due at the White House?
ReplyDeleteTOTUS, Due to Adam D I am now walking around with a knife in my eye socket trying to get the vision out of my head.
ReplyDeleteDo you get to attend the infamous Wednesday night cocktail parties? What was the deal with furniture getting broken? What kind of parties are they having, anyway? I hope they are keeping you safe to one side and not leaving you in the middle of it all - watch yourself around Toes.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh, Robin, they like to play musical chairs. Every time Dope goes to sit down, Rahm kicks the chair out from under him. Then, M.o 'bama throws a fit and breaks the chair over Gibbs' head (because Rahm uses him as a human shield). THAT's why Gibbs is always so giggly. And THAT's what all those holes in the backyard are for: they bury the broken chairs there to hide the (further) evidence of their derangement.
ReplyDeleteNo WONDER you never come out and just say, "B. Hussein stinks" or words along those lines, TOTUS. I was wondering why you haven't changed the heading from "Leader of the free world" to "Reader ... ." NOW, I understand.
"Oh, the world owes me a livin'. Deedle, daiddle, dohdle, deedle, DUM." (Ha, ha -- nice one, TOTUS) Yeah, Hop[e] the Grasshop[er]'s little hardworking ant friend, Andy, merrily sang the same tune along with Hop[e].... until the head ant told him to get back to work. I wonder how long until a "head banker" appears who brings those silly sycophANTS back to their senses? Sure would be great if they all said, "Take that cash and shovel it" and marched back to their business, leaving B. O. alone in the cold.
ReplyDeleteUnlike Hop the Grasshopper, though, B.O. should be left out in the snow to die (vis a vis his horrible economic POLICIES) and not brought inside the sycophANT's warm cave.
Shoot! I LIKE Hop -- hate to compare him to that Obamanation. Yeah, Hop was foolish and happy-go-lucky, but he wasn't trying to destroy the sycophANT's hill or anything -- and he had a heart. He was basically a harmless hippy with a fiddle. He learned his lesson. O never will.
