***BREAKING NEWS**** Bin Laden Determines US is Weak based on Obama's lack of Handshake
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 12:40 AM by sfam
***BREAKING NEWS***



Bin Laden is planning new attacks on the US based on Barrack Obama's failure to shake hands with Ms. Clinton. Bin Laden's tape indidated that this shows weakness on US leaders part and a clear lack of character, which indicates the US is ripe for another attack.

"If they cannot shake hands, they surely cannot stop our attack" Bin Laden reportedly said.

In other news, Obama's support has dropped to 2% as an outraged public turns their back on him. In world news, most world leaders have now make public statements criticizing Obama's faux pas, and how it has potentially led to world instability. Most agree that this has been a clear victory for terrorists everywhere.

3. there is one good thing to come out of the"handshake scandal"
and that is some really clever posts...the whole thing is so silly. but it`s the "manners gap" if only people knew proper manners we could win this war..

Judith Martin, in Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior, writes that "the higher-ranking person-socially this means women before men.............either sticks out a hand or doesn't." The lower-ranking person shouldn't be the one to initiate the handshake. But if that should happen, Miss Manners says to go ahead and shake anyway. "The worst error is to pass by a hand that has been extended, however erroneously."

miss manners for president!

8. I heard it caused the dollar to drop
The financial markets are taking it on the chin now. The Fed refuses to lower rates in order to show their disapproval, and to bring attention to the situation. This is quite dangerous, as we teeter into instability in the markets and economic depression. Can't sell your house? Blame Obama!! Can't pay your mortgage? You know who to thank. Job outsourced? Lose your health insurance? Sheesh, there is no limit to the damage that this person's selfish act can do.

10. What about the children? Why won't Obama think of the children?!
He's doomed us all.
