President Obama to America: “Stop Me Before I Negotiate Again!” |

President Obama himself recognizes that he shouldn’t negotiate with Republicans by saying “So I’ve put forward a very clear principle: I will not negotiate around the debt ceiling.“ I decided to help our President by starting a petition at petition.whitehouse.gov https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/keep-obama-away-negotiating-tables/bTYllX0G
C’mon, firepups, do your civic duty and put this over the 25,000 signature threshold for petitions.

He does have a problem! Like in My Cousin Vinney, the smooth lawyer that gets severe Tourette’s when he has to argue.
And i’m signer #5!!!!!eleventy!
President Obama is a brilliant negotiator who always has gotten everything he wants. The ones that are confused are the ones that are signing petitions to him making polite suggestions.
Thank you!
How can anyone be so brilliant one minute, and so dumb the next? Only professional politicians can master that feat. The more you know, the more you will realize, that stage play they put on for public consumption is just that. Professional politicians should be given awards for best performance.
Wiki:
Would You Buy A Used War From This Man? A Collection of Political Humor From National Lampoon, was a 1972 American humor book, a paperback anthology of pieces of political humor from National Lampoon magazine.
The “This Man” in the title was Richard Nixon, who was the President of the United States from 1969–1974, and the “War” in the title was the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975. The title was a variant of the American saying, “Would you buy a used car from this man?” meaning that the person was not someone you could trust, and that was obvious from the person’s face. A Democrat poster campaign in the 1960 Presidential election used the slogan “Would YOU buy a used car from this man?” together with a photo of Nixon, who later lost the election to Kennedy.
The cartoonist Ed Sorel drew the cover illustration, which shows Nixon as a used car salesman leaning on a pile of blood-stained army uniforms, with a sign in the background with lettering that says “TRICKY DICKY” and “USED CARNAGE”.
Thanks, this piece reminds me of back when I wore my “Tricky Dicky” tee shirt.
