News, but not the serious kind

Do you have anyone who can co-sign, Mr. Obama?

March 20, 2009

Blog Guy, do you think our elected officials feel the pain people are going through in this economic meltdown?

Yes, I do. I know for example that President Obama has been trying to buy a a new car here in Washington, because he doesn’t feel right about always having to ask the Secret Service to take him places.

He’s finding out how tough it is to get credit these days. He picked out a car at a showroom, but then they did a credit check on him and it wasn’t pretty.

The President of the United States has a bad credit rating?

Sure, look at the stuff the credit agencies monitor. They reported to the dealership that this Obama guy…

  • recently moved to a new city
  • has been in his current job for only two months
  • doesn’t own his current home
  • lives in a non-residential downtown area

That’s the kind of stuff that gives lenders the heebie-jeebies. No wonder he’s sweating the results.

Impress the babes. Join the Oddly Enough blog network!

God Bless our president Mr. Barak Obama, Sir you are the most intelligent and compasionate president this country has had since I was born. The attempt to reach out to Iran has set you apart from all politicians and former presidents. Long live Mr. Barak Obama our president and great leader of this nation.
