The July 27th Chicago Tribune had a funny comparison of House Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama as they squared off on the debt thing, comparing the two in seven areas.
SURNAME CHALLENGED:
Obama-- Even TV people have referred to him as Osama. (I have unintentionally done so several times. Some of my friends do it on purpose.)
Boehner-- Many pronounce his last name incorrectly the way it would appear to be with a silent 'h." Actually pronounced "BAY-ner."
SPORTS:
Obama-- Former high school athlete (basketball) who likes golf.
Boehner-- Former high school athlete (football) who likes golf.
DESCENT:
Obama-- Part Irish (all black according to his tax return).
Boehner-- Part Irish
PERSON OF COLOR:
Obama-- First African-American president. (No white parentage according to his tax return.)
Boehner-- Known for his deep tan. Obama once joked about him, "He's a person of color, although not a color that appears in the natural world." (Had a non-black said that, it would have been considered a racist remark.)
Some More Comparisons to Come. --RoadDog
UNIVERSAL TRUTHS: I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history when you die.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
