This picture has nothing to do with this post but is a cool picture of David. It will be a while before we get another pup but I hope she likes kids like Lasha did.--------------
I finally figured out President Obama. He is acting like Yertle the Turtle. Yertle the Turtle is a Dr. Seuss Classic. The only way you can truly figure out this president is to understand Yertle. Please find an old Yertle book, google the story or something.

Listen to the story. I feel a little like one of Yertle's turtles, er, I mean Obama's turtles. You'll get it.
Then you will know that we need a Turtle named Mack to burp.
All that sounds kind of esoteric but if you look it up you will see the light.

*laughter* I think that clip hits the nail on the head, thanks for sharing.
Although I had heard of it, I had never read the story of Yertle the Turtle until I heard about it on "The Brain Massage". What a perfect parallel it is! Certainly does sound like something written with our president in mind, but it was published in 1958! In looking for the date of this book, I found something shocking. According to Wikipedia, Dr. Seuss was drawing political cartoons in the 1940's, and first came up with the Yertle character and story as a representation of Adolf Hitler!

I have a Dr. Seuss book with cartoon he drew in the 40s and previously. Very funny and some even non-children oriented. To learn Yertle was to represent Adolf makes it an even more accurate representation of BHO. Good Job
