Unpopular, sarcastic Obama 3.0

2nd term will not be pretty picture

Shakespeare was right when he wrote, “What’s past is prologue.” The Bard’s quote provides a solid road map for predicting how Obama will run his presidency if re-elected. During his 2008 campaign and subsequent four years in office there have been three iterations defining the man and his approach to governance.

Comments on these type of things are always good for a hoot. "To re-elect Obama,....would be like the Titanic backing up and hitting the iceberg.....again!"

And voting for Mitt would be like voting for the iceberg. :roll:

Actually a vote for Romney in Titanic-speak is more like a vote for the British Maritime Board of Trade who ensured that poor civilian marine construction standards, insufficient lifeboat capacity, the lack of requirement for 24-hour wireless operators and minimal disaster liability under law all enhanced shipowner's profitability.

Besides, the iceberg vanished after it's 15-minutes of fame, never to be seen again...

Supposedly this is a picture of it, taken from the Carpathia:

I Demand to see that iceberg's birth certificate! Without documentary proof it must be an Antarctic 'berg that has no right to be in the North Atlantic!

Actually I understand that there are photos of an iceberg take by a rescue ship showing a red-streak on the ice; the assumption being that it was red-lead paint from Titanic. Perhaps that is the one.

Fun. But one disappears as soon as it gets in hot water while the other is still stuck in the same place frozen in time.

This one is usually held as the best candidate for the one that sank the Titanic:

Damage to the right side of the berg and the shape is quite similar to the Rock of Gibraltar,
which is how one eyewitness described the berg.

Of course, it's impossible to know for sure. :hmmm:

But that policy was watered down to nothing while the other still has people talking and making movies about it. :O:

Disaster is always big news whereas competence is often ignored. :O:

Crap I'm running out of clever metaphors.

Silence and dissolution can be mistaken for competence, masking the direct obstruction towards safe harbour. :|\\
