Captain Obvious Speaketh!

The country is "going through a tough time," says Our Preznit, Captain Obvious.

Yeah, and what was your first clue, President Genius? Oil at $111/bbl? Gold at $1,000/oz? Investment houses going up? Foreclosure rates skyrocketing? Commodity prices doubling? Unemployment rising?

"Bush said this was not the first time the economy has been rattled.."

Sure, things were a lot tougher in the Great Depression. Probably not for your family, though, Chimpy. We aren't up to the massive breadlines and bankers jumping out of the windows of skyscrapers.

Not yet, anyway. But given your great leadership and your obvious concern for the lives of everyday Americans, we're not so far away from that. You know, Chimpy, you modeled your presidency on Reagan, to the point of buying a chunk of property in Texas so you could clear brush on your all-too-frequent vacations.

But who knew that the presidency you would truly be modeling would be those of Warren Harding and Herbert Hoover, rolled into one?
