   They don’t have those in Kenya or Indonesia

   Ate at a restaurant outside of Nairobi. Unisex restroom had a 6″ square hole in the middle of the floor, and a pile of banana leaves in the corner. #1 was fairly straight forward – but after getting the hersheys – which every African traveler does sooner or later – this became a true test of skill, balance and endurance.

   Sobamatoro’s heritage likely gives him certain amazing skills.

   The answer is NO, obama has never owned a car of his own. He has NO appreciation of the American value of loving muscle cars.

   obama has never owned a car. He has never taken a girl to make out in his car.
   Apparently he has never had a girlfriend in his entire life, other than his wife. Not ONE single woman has come forward to talk about ever dating obama. Not a single one.

   obama has never chopped firewood. obama has never gone fishing. He has never mowed his own lawn. He has never fixed or repaired a leaky faucet, toilet, or unclogged a drain.

   He has never ridden a motorcyle. He has never painted the outside of any home or apartment. He has never given up a saturday to help a buddy move out of an apartment.

   He has never lifted anything over 50 pounds in his entire life, except his wife’s giant ass. And that was just to push her off him.

   He is the ultimate squish. He may or may not have been born in the United States, but he is definitely not an American man.

   On Korean train from Jin Hae to Pusan, went to bathroom inside passenger car.

   The bathroom, unisex, had NOTHING but a nine inch hole in the floor. You could see the tracks whizzing by, and I felt a 35 knot wind blowing in from the hole. I was afraid to drop my drawers, because no lock on the door, no paper, and it was so cold I didn’t want to “prairie-dog” so I went back to my seat and waited till I got to Pusan.

   NOTICE: This is NOT a 4-Yorkshiremen setup. It really happened, and that’s the truth. Brrzzzzzzp!

    Barry Soebamatoro MAY have owned his own car at one time…..remember back year before last when he was talking about car insurance; he said he crashed his Nissan, went to his agent to get it fixed, they wouldn`t because, as we realized, he had bought only liability ins, not the whole comprehensive package !?

    I’m not gonna give up my 2000 Silverado with 160,000+ miles on it. The gas milage may be only fair-ta-middlin’, but it’s paid for.
    Also, it was my first brand new vehicle. When I married Mrs. Tre, I drove her home in it. We went on our honeymoon in it.
    Most importantly, I drove both of my children home from the hospital in it.

    So, I’ll fork over about $60 to fill it up. Since it’s getting warm now, I can ride my Sportster to work more.

    Yeah, my Dad stayed at a 4 star Hotel in Turkey in the late seventies. When he got to his room, he had to ask where the bathroom was. He was told it was the door at the end of the hall.

    Yes, a common wash basin filled with water for everyone to use and a hole in the floor. I think he said there were magazines scattered around for “paper”.

    Americans must have stolen their bathrooms. I think about that often when I am taking my morning shower. How lucky I am.

    Thirty-plus years ago I drove a 1969 Mercury Marquis (looked quite a bit like that Lincoln in the pic). It got about 10mpg. Even Hummers get better mileage than that (and they aren’t clunkers).

    This is more evidence of the Marxist agenda that the elitist left loves.

    My wife and I just traded our 2008 Subaru WRX that got 24 MPG on premium gas for a 2011 Subaru Forester that gets 26 MPG on regular. We weren’t suprised when the dealer told us ours was the second WRX being traded in this week. (The WRX is turbo-charged and requires the no-knock formula of the more expensive premium, higher octane, gas.)

    One of the best Comments ever!

    Even the 2 Bush Presidents ran businesses of a sort, and owned things. Certainly they had to sign a paycheck to an employee and even knew what a P & L sheet was. Each could pitch a baseball, too.

    Folks forget that after a so-so Yale career W Bush got in to Harvard Business School and graduated. He, at least, understood a lot of real-world things.

    Carter ran a small business, and might even have ridden a tractor. Seems to know how to hold hammer. Clinton is so much closer to Obama, the more I think on it. Yet he owned cars and “possessed” many of the girls. Never had a real job; shared experience with The One as a purported Law Professor — actually an Adjunct Instructor at politically connected law schools. Clinton had mysteriously funded trips from England while a Rhodes Scholar (never completed his program) to Sweden and toured by himself all through places like Czechoslovakia, then off limits to ordinary US folks. Obama attended a posh prep school, 2 years at an exclusive California college, Occidental in Pomona, left with reasons unknown and no reports of papers or transcripts, wound up in NYC at Columbia. Both schools very expensive! No transcripts publicly available from Columbia either. On to Harvard Law, which does seem to be officially verified. Billy-Bub Clinton went to Georgetown which is very pricey, too. His mother was an itinerant nurse/anaesthetist who couldn’t have afforded that or Yale Law.

    Both men had mothers attracted to lots of men, married some of them, and both men have half-siblings. Clinton’s are uncountable? Biological and adoptive fathers missing/absent.

    OT: Who is Barry Soetero?

    Given that polls which have tested this question the last year show that an increasing proportion of the population do not believe Obama’s story, the NYDN poll may also reflect these larger numbers.
    Laughably, Obama’s continued need to try to defend the indefensible usurpation of the Presidency of the United States is not working. He can joke all he wants, and the so called media will continue to be his ‘depends’, making sure every leak is caught or spun as sweet smelling diapers.
    But Americans know the truth. It is a fight for the very existence of our country, and it must be fought with stealth, strategy, and precision. The death of a thousand cuts to this regime is appropriate…and necessary.

    Yep. In Germany, ’62 or ’63. At a railroad crossing, two fat German gentleman in an Isetta were passing a slow tractor on the right. Coming up to a RR crossing, the two front tires hit the rails where the shoulder wasn’t to grade. They went from 40 mph to 0 in the blink of an eye. The door (front) was between the two rails. When they opened the door, they had to push the back of the car over to the left. The engine weight helped. My dad was hysterical.

    By the way, in Italy it Deisel is close to $8/Gal and it takes close to $100 to fill the tank. It’s all taxes……
