Man drowns about 8 miles from where Obamas swam

[MrJDSmith]

quite a few people will die withing an 8 mile radius of me each day i work.

 

[meh]

Is the argument that Obama, being Satan incarnate, is responsible for all biological death or something like that?

Ok..since the Radius of Death is apparently eight miles, what is the Radius of Injury? I hurt my foot today- 200 miles from the Obama's Chicago home. I guess I didn't die because it was too far away? Must he be present inside the Radius or does his real estate's evil aura cause damage on its own? It's confusing.

Yes...you made the comment, and it was off topic to the issue at hand.

Your "but they do it too!" argument failed.

maybe I can make it clear

Crazy Cat Woman (CCW) said this did not happen to other presidents that she could remember

Desert Sky (DS) said actually it did happen to others


DS was not justifying any behaviour in saying this. DS was simply pointing out this behaviour is not new and targeted at Obama simply because it Obama.

You are the one who introduced the but they did it too concept which is part of justifying behaviour.

I'm not the one who said: "but people blamed Bush for ridiculous things too!"

I know that and what is your point?????

the person who did say it was simply pointing out that blaming presidents for ridiculous things is nothing new like Crazy Cat Woman originally suggested.
What is so hard to understand about that????

It's definitely his aura...

sucks to be you.

The Obamas also swam Saturday afternoon but in protected waters at a resort . . .

News from The Associated Press

LOL

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- A man has drowned in the Gulf of Mexico about eight miles from where President Barack Obama and daughter Sasha were taking a dip.
The News Herald of Panama City reported that it happened about 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Double red flags were flying all day, meaning the water was closed to the public because of rough surf.
The Obamas also swam Saturday afternoon but in protected waters at a resort where the president, first lady Michelle Obama and Sasha were spending the weekend.
The visit was designed to promote tourism in the Florida Panhandle, which has sagged after the BP oil spill in the Gulf.
Police identified the victim as 41-year-old John Richards of Mooresville, N.C.

Sad commentary on the state of "journalism" these days.

How in the world does this man's tragic demise warrant mention of the Obamas by this newspaper? They're completely unrelated and both stories completely, utterly irrelevant to the other.

What does it pay to be an editor these days? I'm thinking I might make a career change...

This just in:
A man fell while climbing the Matterhorn on Saturday. It happened at 2:24 pm according to his belayer. His favorite author was Stephen King, who to our knowledge has not mentioned Switzerland in any of his books.
Elsewhere in the Alps, a tourist blew an alpen horn. It was 12' long and was crafted by a local artisan.
Climbing the Matterhorn had been suspended for two hours the previous day while officials searched for a lost goat. A local farmer was cited for not penning his livestock appropriately.
The tourist was wearing a pair of lederhosen they'd purchased from a local shop.
The climber's identity has been withheld, pending notification of next of kin. He wasn't wearing lederhosen at the time of the fall.
Lederhosen purchases have increased 8% from the previous year and are expected to rise another 6% in the year to come. Climbers who once wore lederhosen have opted for more contemporary climbing garb when scaling the higher peaks.
There is no mention whether the Obamas are intending to visit the Alps anytime soon.

It's just a joke, Aisy.

The article is an example of pitifully poor journalism, nothing more; and my "this just in" simply parodies the article's nonsensical joining of two completely unrelated stories into one.

When I bash Obama (and I didn't remotely do that here, intentionally or otherwise) you'll know.

sucks to be you.

Your location puts you in the Radius of Headaches and Gout. So there.

I live in the state in which Al Franken actually managed to be a politician...I realize I am by far not immune to the Obama Radius. I don a radiation suit every time I go out. Kinda sucks with all this humidity we've been having!!

I was sighing in agreement with you, EdwinWillers. I emphatically agree with the statement I bolded. I thought your parody was so apt, it made me sigh.

I do know and I trust you on that.

I have a tin foil hat to protect me from Obama's death radius.
