Obama Jokes in Ireland: I Should ‘Paddle’ Bad Members of Congress

Members of Congress beware. If you misbehave, you could be getting visit from Barack Obama and his new hurling stick.

After meeting with Ireland’s prime minister yesterday and receiving the stick as a gift, Obama immediately suggested one use unrelated to its place in the native Irish sport of hurling.

He bounced the flat-paddled, wooden club in his hands like a Louisville Slugger and suggested it might make a good weapon for spanking uncooperative representatives and senators.

“If Congress doesn’t behave,” he said, taking a playful swing with his new toy. “I’m going to give them a little paddle, a little hurl.”

Prime Minister Enda Kenny and other Irish officials standing nearby just laughed:

In case you’re wondering, hurling is a mix of lacrosse, field hockey, and soccer.

    Try some decorum Mr. Soetoro… You should give it a try once in a while. Act like the effing president instead of making threatening comments and gestures thinly veiled with your “charismatic smile and aww-shucks, I was only kidding” backtrack. Maintain decorum in all situations and you don’t have to backtrack to make yourself not look like such an imbecile!

      Silver …Do you think he will be gone ? …..The Silence from Congress, These 50 United States, Govenors is deafening !!! The machine is in full gear to set up the Elections . How many aggreigous actions have been undertaken by the Federal Goverment ?

      Just in time for the 2012 election, President Obama has established a new position within the communications department. The Director of Progressive Media and Online response is the spiffy new title held by Jesse Lee. Yes, Lee is the new Unfavorable online media czar, and that means you, you bunch of conservative bloggers, you.

      Huffington Post reports that Lee will be responsible for suppressing any stories about Obama that aren’t true. Does this mean stories that the White House deems to be untrue or stories that are actually, truly untrue? Pretty much anything ever reported about Obama in a negative light, they’ve responded by saying that it’s not true.

      Silver ..not picking on you ..just thinking the SHTF on this issue .

      Obama’s father precluded his being a “natural born citizen” meaning born on U.S. soil of U.S. citizen parents; he is further ineligible by dual citizenship for being born a British citizen pursuant to the British Nationality Act of 1948, as his father was a British citizen of colonial Kenya.[1]

      The Art 2, Sec 1, exemption from being a NBC, “or a citizen of the United States …” wasn’t needed if NBC means just a citizen!

      Each authoritative definition of a NBC stipulates citizen parents (plural). First Congress, Ses II, Chp 3, Sec I, 104, 1790: “the children of citizens.” Bingham, House floor, 1866: “of parents not owing allegiance.” Supreme Court, Minor v. Happersett, 1874: “of parents who were its citizens.” Senate Res 511, 2008: “born to American citizens.”

      Congress is hiding behind the birth certificate controversy rather than act and jeopardize reelection. Their deceptive dereliction of duty was deftly codified by rhetorically requesting guidance from the CRS on just the birth certificate issue. The expected reply was the infamous Maskell memorandum.[2]

      Demand congress immediately remove Obama in accordance with their oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Their answer to the absurd spending and starve the government tax policies is make the children and grandchildren pay with drastic cuts in services and dissolving Medicare and SS. Hey the baby boomers got rich off the excessive spending and tax cuts, time for them to pay the bill.
