Charlie Rangel Gets Even With President Obama

Okay, pretend you’re a longtime member of a congress that consistently ranks lower than “genital herpes” in the favorability ratings, and you’re taking heat for charges of corruption. The president has urged you to end your career with dignity and resign. You’re not happy about that at all. What’s the best way to get even with the president? That’s right, you say he’s your BFF:

Two days after ripping President Obama, Rep. Charles Rangel took a more respectful tone on Wednesday night, calling himself one of Obama’s “best friends.”

Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark. That Rangel can be vicious when he has to be.

The ball’s on your green, Mr. President.

    I believe “dignity” is an old nickname for hemlock.
    But, don’t worry, Charlie. I’m sure he didn’t mean it in that context.
    In fact, I understand he’s asked Rahm to ‘take care of’ you.
    See, he does like you!

    Or he’ll do it for you. Either way Charlie. Iman Hussein doesn’t care.

    I hate it when Obama is called “president”. I agree with this article; “There is no president Obama”.

    It’s not a good plan to PO Barry, cause Mo carries a grudge like a mofo. Even Charlie shouldn’t want that biotch on his buttocks. Harlem needs all the Obama stash it can get.

    If Charlie keeps tickin’ off Obeyme, he’s gonna get more than a horse’s head in the bed. Charlie should have retired 30 years ago. C’mon New Yorkers–get some brains and vote for Mike Faulkner. The rest of the country is sick of your shtick.
