	Abbzinthe: 04/21/2009 3:09 PM Ignores the showboating of that nut, Chavez, (who I like very much) and treats him with respect. This disarms Chavez, who is used to that whining, puppet headed, histrionic little bitch, George.

	heartsapocolypse: 04/21/2009 7:58 PM 7. "I like to know what I'm talking about before I speak." This is my top favorite. Such a change from the last 8 years...

O. is a diplomatic genius.
	paxgitmo: 05/05/2009 12:33 PM ...anyone else got anything? - White House victory garden. - He shoots hoops instead of wanking over forcing fat,out-of-shape, fully-clothed Secret Service saps to follow him on 110-degree-day fun runs like whatshisname Numbers 21 and 22 are my faves. Same could be said about yourownself.
