Hail Mary Time: Slurpee Out, Latte In
**Written by Doug Powers
President Obama had used his “Republicans drinking Slurpees” line at least 25 times, and that doesn’t seem to have given the Democrats much momentum.
Time to switch drinks:

I think I see the strategy here. “Slurpee” sounds too working class, but “latte” sounds foo-foo richy-rich. And when you think foo-foo richy rich, who do you think of? That’s right: John Kerry.
Back to the drawing board, Mr. President.
The “drinking latte” thing has political roots in the 2008 primary season, except then it was used against Obama. When Obama was running against Hillary Clinton, a Clinton supporter and president of the machinists’ union referred to Obama’s supporters as a “latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies.”
Now it’s really time to go back to the drawing board.

I don’t think Obama has figured out the whole world is watching this lunatic…
Quelque chose a boir, monsiuer? Peut etre une smootheé d’arugul avec boeuf de wagu???
The next thing you know, we will be accused of eating arugula!
I just read this bho is going to be on the ‘mythbusters’ program on MM buzzworthy! Is there anyplace on the tube this man won’t get his face on? Gads, he makes me tired!

Memo to Sock Puppet:
I am a Black Coffee drinking, Tax Paying,Pay bills on time, not live beyond my means, God loving American Citizen and have never asked for a hand out or bail out from anyone at any time.
You and your regime have seen the last of your grand plans to destroy the Country I love and swore to ptotect.
I wonder if they are going to bust the myth that is Obama’s awesomeness?
I like to have a latte on occasion and when I do, it’s a treat. I can’t afford to buy one every time I have a coffee.
Whatsa matta? Can’t do a shot and a beer like a real man? What a wuss!
I don’t care what the bastages drink as long as they keep their filthy paws out of my wallet! The next round is on me, not.
Reminds me of what someone said of John F’ing Kerry during his presidential run: he was going to open a carafe of whoop-ass on W.
Still laugh about that.
Yeah, well, I’d rather drink Drain-o than the Kool-Aid the Obamabots have been chugging.

Indeed. Obama and the Evil Empire of Global Communism will see their grand plans destroyed on November 2nd.
Two years ago, Obama marketed himself as “A New Hope”.
Now he can only lament as “The Empire Strikes Back”.
Well, the truth is 180 degrees from what Obama says.
The Communists are the “Evil Empire” (as President Ronald Reagan duly noted), and Conservatives are “A New Hope”.
But the Communists will never stop speaking of Capitalism as “Imperialistic” and an “Empire” that they want to bring to its knees.
it’s so funny how the Dems drag out the class envy/rebellious peasant mentality every election time. It simply appeals to the lowest types with covetousness & jealousy. They want, want, want, but want it given to them. And thet are so blinded by hatefulness and ignorance that they cannot see the Dems are the very ones taking. I’m sure Ceaucescu looked good once upon a time.
One lump or two Mr.President?
I wonder if he will use that line out here in WA ST when he comes to stump for Patty Murray in Seattle in the coming week? I am sure all those Starbuck sippin’ Yuppy Liberals will just love being compared to Conservatives.
The story linked above has this comment about what “slurpee” can also mean. Think vulgar, folks.
Given that the left is given to referring to we the people using sexual vulgarities (teabagger), there could be some truth to that theory.
I can guaran-f*&@ing-tee there’s truth to it.
Isn’t a latte and a slurpee around the same price?
I’ve never had a latte in my life! I drink black coffee that’s strong enough to keep me awake for a couple days after I die!
And I’m not drinking anything while watching Obummer and the rest of the looney leftwing liberals destroy my childrens future! I’m grinding my teeth in rage that, for the moment, there’s nothing I can do to stop him!
I was trying to be nice, but.. yeah. I’m sure there’s truth to it too.
Especially given zer0bama’s Alinskyite tactics.
I missed all the Slurpee comments. What does that even mean, do they still sell those? I haven’t had one for at least 30 years. But somehow that’s the preferred drink of conservatives? Pretty bizarre analogy I don’t think anyone gets, even his Kool-Aid drinking followers (which actually has a meaning most people know).
He’s going to be on Mythbusters because they’re going to bust the myth of Obama. Well, one can always hope.
When I think of Hopenchange’s efforts to portray Republicans as idlers sippin’ on whatever while the donks labor heroically, a different comparison comes to mind: Flight 93, with the passengers ramming a roller-cart against the cockpit in a desperate effort to wrest the controls from the hands of the terrorists before it’s too late.
Anyone ever notice that Obama speaks at a 6th grade level? Either that is the level his mind thinks or he is talking down to his voters.

More true than many realize…
Is it me or do all the photos I saw of Obama this weekend make him look sinister?
I’ll admit to an occasional cappuchino as a treat, but I don’t do lattes. I do put a packet of Splenda® in my coffee.
I guess we could respond with a comment about our self-confessed “coke-sniffing” President.

Oh, he’s sinister all right, he’s just been caught looking like it lately, where the media used to have him appearing with a halo.
thefoundingfathers#27,
Rush has been talking about the pictures today of this bho. Every picture on Drudge, this bho looks pure evil!

I think that very bitter herb tea (Texas Locoweed?) and sack cloth and ashes may be in vogue after the Nov. 2 Tsunami election!

No lattes or slurpees needed.

Odd, I would have thought that described Hillary’s supporters, not Obama’s borscht-slurping, Israel-hating, capitalism-killing, terrorism-sympathizing supporters. The few who are left.
I have a bunch of coffeehouses in my neighborhood, and they’re owned and patronized mainly by hipsters who voted for Obama.
Never had a Slurpee, but I always begged my mom for an Icee whenever we went to K-Mart when I was a kid.
Interestingly, nurses and physicians drink the most coffee.
You do know that the sweetener is toxic by the way? I use to use it but have since gone natural, just honey when necessary. Those artificial sweeteners approved by the corrupt FDA will kill you eventually but not before you produce two-headed offspring. Don’t even get me started on aspartame.
Rogue; aspartame is the only sweetener I can tolerate. I cannot drink anything with sugar in it anymore.
But, ‘beauty is pain’.
I’m a Mormon*, so I’m too busy clinging to my God and my guns to spare a hand for coffee!
Preferably with a polo mallet a la Bugs Bunny.
