“We’re buying shrimp guys”

August 26, 2010 By: twistedmuser Category: Uncategorized

Who would have thought it was so easy to get out of something you don’t want to deal with!

Boss ask if you have the board presentation ready? “I’m buying shrimp guys”?

Teacher asks if you did your homework? “I’m buying shrimp guys”

Policeman asks if you have license and registration? “I’m buying shrimp guys!

Why not? It works for our President! In Martha’s Vineyard, on his sixth vacation (if you count the pretend vacation to the Gulf of Mexico), Obama was asked a question about the war in Iraq. Obviously not wanting to answer, he shouts “We’re buying shrimp guys. Come on” What a ridiculous statement. If he was walking into church or heading into an official gathering, maybe he could avoid answering questions. Not when standing in line (pretending again) to buy shrimp! Answer the question Obama! If you don’t want to be asked questions by reporters on your many vacations, then dont allow them to be there. We don’t need any pictures of you standing in line (yeah, right) to buy shrimp! If that’s all you want them for, tell them to stay home. I’m not sure if that happened before or after his 48th round of golf since becoming President.

Speaking of the pretend vacation to the Gulf of Mexico, guess what the First Lady ordered for dinner. Keep in mind the purpose of the pretend vacation was to show (pretend) support to the residents and businesses of the area. Apparently she has a huge fondness for lobster, and yes, she ordered lobster. That would be fine except, yes you already know, no lobsters in the gulf of Mexico! I guess they were pretending on their pretend vacation to pretend like lobsters come from the Gulf!

  1. Actually….the Gulf of Mexico does have lobster. They’re called the ‘Spiny Lobster’. Spiny lobster is low in saturated fat and is a very good source of protein and selenium. Yummy.

    If Twistedmuser still lived on the Gulf Coast he’d know that.

    • Doh! I’ll give you that regarding living there.

      I dont think Michelle ordered Spiny Lobster though, nor did any of them order anything that might have been in the Gulf.

      • I wonder in the FlorBama serves Spiny Lobster. Joey and I will have to check it out. If they don’t….well….we can always have a beer or three.

    • Interesting and I know thats not what she ordered anyway.

      To be fair though, the Bartman lives on the Gulf Coast too. In fact you know him. Twistedmuser and Bartman worked together at one time.

  3. Wow, you really hate this guy don’t you?

    I remember all those times Reagan just smiled and pretended not to hear the reporters questions….

    With all due respect I think this line of critism is a little small fry*

    * young or small fish

      Wow Sam, thanks for putting me in my place twice in one reply! Once for pointing out how small fry I am and again for thinking you have to define the insult. Thats pretty good!

      Regarding your Reagan comment, its funny how you and many others (mainly libs and leftists, but you don’t like being called that) loved to criticize Bush and Reagan, but now that Obama is doing these things, you think its small fry? My how times change! Oh well, another two years and you get your chance again.

  4. I meant no disrespect, it’s just that these critiques seem a bit silly. There are big and legitimate issues of debate to be had, and beating on him because he didn’t answer a question about Iraq while doing the “feel good” tour of New Orleans, well….geesh.

    Some future topics:
    -Big government having “all the answers”
    -Being a bit too cozy with labor unions.
    -Being too analtical and lawyerly and little light on leadership….

    These are things we can have some spirited debate on.

    As for small fry, I was just tying in with the seafood theme, that is all.

      It’s not that event standing alone that is the problem, its part of his overall pattern of arrogance, condecension, blame shift, American criticism….shall I go on? Furthermore I don’t hate him, but I do hate the level of disrespect he brings to the office and to the majority of the American people who happen to disagree with him. On a lighter note, I did get the seafood reference, even without the explanation.

      I didn’t address the part of your comment suggesting future topics. Those are good ideas. Thanks for bringing them up.

  5. Okay Sam

    The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’

    40th president of US (1911 – 2004)

  6. He bought a lobster!?!?

    Bush was praised for ignoring polling data!!

    Until 2012 I’m going to say that the majority of Americans voted for him and leave it at that.

    • twistedmuser says:

      Thats one thing we can agree on. The majority of Americans voted for him. Actually 2 things. Until 2012.

  7. Well, MICHelle, his bell, is too stupid to know that those were not local lobsters.
