"Backstage at the rally, Obama tries to calm a young supporter whose brother had taken his pretzel goldfish."*I didn't get to see an After picture for confirmation, but I imagine him using his Dramatic Speech voice to full effect and settling this dispute within minutes.
I have to wonder if he'd be willing to lend me his services now and then in extreme emergencies, if for no other reason than as payback for all those dozens of dollars I gave him.
* I'm sure Pepperidge Farm would not be very happy to see their trademark genericized like this. I think we need to get out there and determine whether this was actually a Goldfish cracker or merely a regular cracker that happened to be vaguely fish shaped. If the latter, they get to start handing out lawsuits.
It's entirely possible that this is what John Boehner looked like as a child. And, seriously, I would totally hide my Goldfish crackers from Nancy Pelosi.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are ready for our leader to solve the real problems of the day.
ReplyDeleteShare the wealth, share the fish crackers... easy. :D
ReplyDeleteWhy do I feel like I'd already read this post once before?

Young supporter's brother is going to grow up a republican. I bet a whole sack of Pepperidge Farms Pizza Flavored Goldfish on it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was the pretzel goldfish. Have you tried them?? Delicious.
ReplyDeleteSomeone stole my youth. Obama, will you carry me?
ReplyDeleteCan you settle down, little guy?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can!
Can you ask Mommy for another goldfish?
Yes, you can!
Can you give big brother a wedgie when no one is looking?
Yes, you...wait-a-minute...
I'm with the moose de ja vu!
ReplyDeletei third the deja vu comments...
ReplyDeleteThe deja vu solution is that I accidentally published this post early this past weekend, then immediately took it offline.
ReplyDeleteIt disappeared from my feed, except it seems the Feedburner helpfully remembered it had been there and refused to forget it.
Hence it didn't show up anew today in the feed most of you get. I guess this answers my question at the time as to whether anyone saw that... d'oh!
Considering the fact that Goldfish crackers are the equivalent of crack cocaine to most kids, I'd say we elected the right man to make peace in the world.
ReplyDeleteI had a dream last night that I met Obama.... hm.
ReplyDeleteComedy Goddess: I'll have to throw my own name in with the crack-cocaine folks, to be fair.
ReplyDeleteJoe: That's just Obama's new voter outreach program, looking to keep his approval numbers up.
Expect to have surges of those dreams just before the midterm elections.
Problem solving-always a bonus!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't surprise me at all, given that he's always reaching out to the Little People...
ReplyDeleteI'll bet his brother was a McCain supporter.
