This Thread Brought To You By The Letters R & P:
 

 
 
 
In Case You Missed It Dept.:
 

A University of Virginia professor told CBS that Chris Christie's weight would actually be a plus if he were to run for President in 2012. True. At least we know Mrs. Christie wouldn't likely try to become America's food nanny.  
 
 
 
The AP photographer who got pics of Michelle Obama shopping at Target said he was "tipped off." Come on, how could it have been staged? There were no teleprompters!  
 

Democrats want tax hikes to be the first item negotiated in "super committee" deficit-reduction talks. Good idea. "No." Next item?  
 

During an interview on ABC, President Obama said that Americans are not "better off than they were four years ago." Not true. We're much closer to the end of Obama's presidency now.  
 
 
 
President Obama defended the government loan to failed solar company Solyndra, saying, "people felt this was a good bet." Yeah, every bet looks good when you're gambling with somebody else's money.  
 
 
 
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has threatened to fire city employees who have unpaid parking tickets. He thinks people should pay what they owe the government? How did he ever get on Obama's staff?  
 
 
 
Eric Holder claims he "misunderstood" when he was asked when he knew about Fast and Furious. The question, or that he was under oath?  
 
 
 
A White House official said President Obama is planning another bus tour later this month to push for his jobs plan. Maybe his first stop should be Harry Reid's house, since he's the one stopping it right now.  
 
 
 
One of the Wall Street protesters said "I put my money in my bra," not a bank. Well, I suppose it'll get more interest that way.  
 

During a press conference Thursday afternoon, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi said of the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters, "God bless them." Is it too much to hope that it's because they all just sneezed?  
 
 
 
In Pennsylvania, metal thieves stole an entire 50-foot-long bridge. Maybe Obama just needed a new backdrop for his next jobs speech.  
 
 
 
At his press conference, President Obama told his media questioners to accept a "little homework assignment" and "go ask Republicans what their jobs plan is." Extra credit: then ask Obama why he won't pass it.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee in Oslo gave no clues Sunday as to the frontrunner for this year's peace prize. It will be announced on Saturday. President Obama is out of contention for the prize but if he kills one more al-Qaeda leader he gets a free car wash.   
 

Al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki was killed by a CIA-fired drone missile on Friday in Yemen. He was born in the U.S. while his Yemeni parents were in the country temporarily. Republicans are joyful that President Obama's finally getting tough on illegal immigration.  
 
 
 
Michelle Obama smiled for photographers as she shopped at Target Thursday. The Secret Service had to secure the store before she arrived. They worked furiously to remove the ice cream and French fries from the snack bar that's always been out to get her.  
 

President Obama's former official Van Jones promised MSNBC Friday that he is going to organize liberal street protests to counter the Tea Party this fall. He predicted an American Fall that's just like the Arab Spring. If we fall any further we're going to hit China.  
 

The Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded Saturday with no chance of President Obama winning. Ever since they gave him the peace prize, he's been firing missiles at terrorists' heads. This year they want to give it to somebody with a history of mental illness who can't get a license to carry a gun.  
 

A Beijing restaurant put a cartoon caricature of President Obama on its logo Monday and called itself Obama Fried Chicken. China has no respect for trademarks. Giant cartoon signs with Barack Obama's face on it are the intellectual property of the Tea Party.  
 
 
 
Roseanne Barr urged Monday that all bankers worth one hundred million dollars be beheaded. Reaction was swift. The next day Bank of America struck back, warning Roseanne that the bank will charge each customer five dollars a head to cover the re-attachment.  
 

Citibank began charging customers who have a checking account balance less than six thousand dollars a fee of fifteen dollars a month Monday. Customers are in a real bind. If they have less than six thousand dollars in their account they get hit by banking fees and if they have more than six thousand dollars in their account Obama thinks they're rich.  
 

Occupy Wall Street protesters listed their demands on Tuesday. They want all debts forgiven, a living wage for all, free health care and open U.S. borders. Leftists think that money grows on trees but they won't let you touch it in case a spotted owl is living there.  
 

President Obama asked Congress to make it easier for debt collectors to call people on their cell phones to collect delinquent student loans. That's awful. How would he feel if China kept calling him in the middle of his backswing to ask why he hasn't paid them back?  
 

Hank Williams Jr. apologized for comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler Sunday in a Fox News interview. It's all smoothed all over now. Within two days, the surviving members of the Hitler family appeared on German television and accepted Hank's apology.  
 

New York's Occupy Wall Street protesters argued among themselves Tuesday about whether they should sew their own sleeping bags with winter coming or engage in capitalism and buy them. Also, they argued over whether to beg for food or buy donuts. It took two hours in the real world to convert the entire movement to supply-side economics.  
 

President Obama faced editorial criticism Tuesday for ordering the drone missile killing of two al-Qaeda terrorists who'd been born in the U.S. People are alarmed that a president can fire a missile and kill an American citizen without even a trial. All week long comedians and Republicans would look up in the sky before they would say anything.  
 

Michelle Obama's trip to Africa was found to have cost half a million dollars in fuel alone. Her two daughters were listed as senior staffers. If you think that's bad, Bo the Portugese Water Dog got a six-hundred-million-dollar loan to provide hydroelectric power.  
 

House Republicans demanded a special prosecutor for Attorney General Eric Holder Tuesday. He testified he hadn't heard of the ATF's botched Mexican gunrunning sting when actually he'd been briefed a year earlier on it. Hank Williams Jr. just compared him to Nixon.  
 

Hank Williams Jr. was fired by ESPN for comparing Barack Obama to Hitler. Don't act surprised. Ron Paul tried to warn us last week that if you let a president make a phone call to order a U.S. citizen knocked off in Yemen, that one day country singers would be next.  
 
 
 
Occupy Wall Street protesters entered their third week of New York park sit-ins this week following a march down Broadway on Thursday. Interviews with the protesters make two things very crystal-clear. They don't know what they want and they want it now.  
 

The White House backed the Occupy Wall Street protesters Thursday in statements by Obama and Biden. Democrats are now banking on the threat of street riots to cower Republicans. It worked out so well for them in the late Sixties that Nixon was elected twice.  
 

Herman Cain told the Occupy Wall Street protesters in Battery Park Friday that they should blame themselves if they aren't rich. Not all of the demonstrators are opposed to capitalism. The pot dealers in the park slip away to the ATMs to make six deposits a day.  
 

Senate Democrats proposed a millionaire's surtax to pay for the jobs bill. It would go to teachers unions, construction unions and public workers unions. Before the GOP House agrees to pass that bill they will vote to honor Hank Williams Jr. as America's poet laureate.

Special Forces killed the editor of al-Qaida’s magazine. So your delivery may be a little late this month. 
 

The only things not going out of business in New York City right now are the "Going Out of Business" stores.  
 

The economy is so bad that we had to fire two writers, so this joke that I’m in the middle of right now has no punch line.  
 

-- Letterman
 

A 6th grade student from Springfield, New Jersey, who asked Gov. Chris Christie for campaign advice, wound up losing his election for student council. Worse still, he asked President Obama for economic advice and he now owes his school $14 trillion.  
 

Saudi Arabia has given women the right to vote, but there’s a catch. The only form of ID accepted at the polling station: Driver’s licenses.  
 

That terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed last week, was American-born and was a top recruiter for al-Qaida. You don’t often see an American taking a foreigner’s job. 
 

In spite of the poor economy, almost 70 percent of Americans occasionally splurge on luxury items — like a blanket on a plane, or a peanut.  
 

They say Chris Christie decided not to get into the presidential race because he has no shot at winning. That’s not stopping President Obama though.  
 

Ben Bernanke told a congressional committee that the economic recovery is close to faltering. On the bright side, most Americans won’t be affected because we had no idea there was a recovery. 
 

-- Leno
 

Actually, President Obama did take Michelle out to a lovely dinner on Saturday. It was a little awkward, though. When the bill came, Obama just put it on the tab of the Chinese couple sitting next to them. 
 

-- Jimmy Fallon
 

More than 700 protestors were arrested over the weekend for blocking traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge. They say the best way to fight corporate greed is to make random people sit in traffic while they’re trying to visit their aunt in Brooklyn.  
 

Sarah Palin will not run for president, which is good news for Palin-haters, but bad news for the moose population.  
 

-- Jimmy Kimmel
 

It’s the third week of the Wall Street protests and they’ve closed down an entire Manhattan street. And then, the cops asked Michael Moore to move.  
 

Happy anniversary to President Obama and the first lady. They had a nice private dinner to celebrate the 19th anniversary of the last time someone said “yes” to an Obama proposal. 
 

-- Craig Ferguson
