As polls predict Republican success in the midterms; the Republicans are getting pretty reckless. Not only do they complain about the deficit while opposing tax hikes on the rich, they are also running with sticks in their hands. A Republican candidate for Congress in Michigan was asked by a potential voter where he thought President Obama was born. Former Representative Tim Walberg, who is running against current Democratic Representative Mark Schauer in Michigan’s 7th district, replied:
“I don’t know, I really don’t know. We don’t have enough information about this president. He was never given a job interview that was complete… But that’s not the issue now. He is president. Right now we need to make sure he doesn’t remain as president, whether he’s American, a Muslim, a Christian, you name it.”
Oh—recent polls and analyses see the Congressional race in the Michigan 7th as a “tossup.” A tossup!!!!
I definitely need to understand the American people better. Dramatic results were just released by The Onion, “Poll: 1 in 5 Americans Believe Obama is a Cactus.”
“When asked why they agreed with the statement “President Obama is a large succulent plant composed of specialized cells designed for water retention in arid climates,” many responded that they “just know,” claiming the president only acts like a human being for political purposes and is truly a cactus at heart.”
I need to extend this poll and understand politics better: What plant do you think the president is?
For a break in the political action watch this postpartisan, bipartisan, no-partisan emotional promo for the United States’ bid to host the World Cup.
One Response to Contest: Obama is Most Like What Plant?

Titan arum. He seemed great during the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries and not even so bad during the general elections. Once he took office we got a whiff of what was to come. Now his presidency simply stinks.
