Hey, Barry … who is this “we” you speak of? [Darleen Click]

Obama taking a cue from Joe “Middle Class” Biden.

Well, those of us who’ve spent time in the real world …

Has Obama spent one day in the private sector? Has he gotten one thing on his own merit rather than Obama-as-articulate-clean-symbol-white-leftliberals-could-feel-good-about-grooming?

h/t Jim Geraghty who points out:

It would probably be rude of me to think about Michelle Obama’s work, where her salary jumped from $121,910 to $316,962 per year after her husband became a U.S. senator, a job that was strangely left unfilled after she stepped down to focus on her husband’s campaign.

Such positions are quite challenging to find in the… real world.

Indeed.

    I remember when I was struggling, working for a non-profit making only $122,000 at the age of 29.

    The times were TOUGH.

    if real world means snorting coke off your composite white girlfriend’s composite white tits then I don’t think Mr. Governor Romney has spent much time there

  3. TRHein says:

    Said to those that can afford a $250 per person – up to $40,000 per couple dinner. Yeah, middle class world that is.

  4. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Somebody who’s hip to (or down with, or up on, whatever the cook kids are saying these days) that twitter things ought to start a meme about all of Barak Obama’s amazing real world experiences. Things like getting from Occidental to Columbia, being the only editor of the Harvard law Review to not publish, buying the house on a piece of property while a corrupt real estate dealer buys the lot the house sits on, getting political opponents sealed divorce records unsealed, etc.. etc. ad nauseam.

    All those everyday ho-hum run of the mill experiences the little people have.

  5. TRHein says:

    A twitter is something I sometimes feel when I’ve had too much coffee Ernst.

  6. StrangernFiction says:

    Because we all know most people in the “real world” lie about where they were born.

    Dude is comically evil.

  7. leigh says:

    If only it were comical rather than tragic that a 50+ year old man is still trying to find himself.

  8. TRHein says:

    Watch what you say Leigh… I resemble that remark.

  9. leigh says:

    Heh. I’m sure with a moniker like TR, you’d being doing your best to lead the charge away from Socialism not toward it.

  10. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Well then, leigh, you would be wrong.

    About TR I mean.

  11. leigh says:

    I was speaking of the mythic TR, not the real progessive TR.

    *Timken*

    *Sure* you were.

  15. DarthLevin says:

    Hashtag games on Twitter would be fun around this, but so far the usual suspects haven’t started one at least as far as I can tell.

    Maybe I’ll try to start one going with my meager 35 followers…

    In #ObamasRealWorld, you open the door of the limousine yourself.
    In #ObamasRealWorld, you have to use red wine vinegar on your arugula, not that pricey balsamic.
    Communities don’t just organize themselves in #ObamasRealWorld
    #ObamasRealWorld at 11pm Eastern, 8pm Pacific. Only on MTV.

    In Obama’s real world you will have rolling power blackouts, prolonged water rationing, one trash pickup a week of 1 big can, and crowded roads, because high taxes elsewhere forced people to move to your city and the surrounding area, while environmental laws and groups(who DON’T live in your area) work together to keep your municipal utilities provider from expanding capacity and drive up fuel costs. Also there will be a law forbidding your grocery store from giving you plastic grocery bags with your purchase forcing you to bring your own. (And we mainly have those plastic bags because in the 90’s we were told that the older paper bags were deforesting America permanently).

  17. TRHein says:

    And all this time I actually believed the recyclable label they placed the plastic bags. Whats the world coming to.

  18. leigh says:

    Paper or plastic. Just don’t use those shopping bags they sell to you at the market unless you run them through the washer. Harbors of bacteria are they.

  19. palaeomerus says:

    It’s coming to multiple trips to the grocery store which wastes fuel and makes me more subject to any food pricing fluctuations. Y’know, to help the environment. Again. From the last time they helped the environment.

  20. DarthLevin says:

    The people who think up these plastic bag bans don’t go to the grocery store themselves. That’s what Consuela and Maria are for.

    In #ObamasRealWorld, that is.

  21. zamoose says:

    I think we should let Dr. Ray Stanz speak for all of us.

  22. Swen says:

    All records of Obama’s real world experience have been sealed. It would be racist to ask about them.

    or own a cat…

  25. palaeomerus says:

    “or own a cat…”

    Yes, they do come in handy for the litterbox.

  26. B Moe says:

    I mean think of poor little Barry Soetoro trudging from his Honolulu high rise, having to walk to private school everyday because his typical white grandparents were too cheap to spring for a cab.
