I'm sorry, I didn't see your badge. Lily Tomlin: "Yeah...I'm a doctor." (Peeks at badge.) "So why the hell am I talking to you for? Piss off!" Never try to put one over on a "9 to 5" fan.

Never try to put one over on a “9 to 5″ fan.

"Mmm--hmm, mmm-hmm, that's interesting, we'll look into that, I never thought of that, uh-huh. . ." while over the Pope's head is this thought-bubble: "Who are you people? I'm the freakin' Supreme Pontiff! Do you actually think I care about your feeble opinions?" Obama reminds of Lily Tomlin in 9 to 5 when she grabs a jacket from a hospital closet to disguise herself, and a candy striper, seeing the ID, says, "Hello, doctor," and she says, "Why am I talking to you? I'm a DOCTOR!"

I think one of Bush's greatest mistakes was to not go over the heads of the liberal media and talk more to the American people. Someone (I forget who) pointed out that every time Hillary Clinton opened her mouth, her approval ratings went down and every time she disappeared they went up. President Bush has been exactly the opposite, every time he talked to the American people, his ratings went up significantly, and it was when he was nowhere to be seen that his approval ratings plummeted. But John McCain has been "reaching out" to the liberal media every day, several times a day, for decades, and look where it's gotten him. Fortunately Bush is smarter than McCain.
