Columbo to Obama
Ah, sorry to bother you Mr. Obama, Sir...
Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean President Obama, Sir. Um . . I know you're busy, and important and stuff. I mean, running the country is very important and -- ah -- I hate to bother you, Sir. I will only take a minute. Ok, Sir?
See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering, Sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
Hey, you have a nice place here! The wife sees houses like this on TV all the time and says, boy, she wishes she had digs like this, you know? Is that painting real? Really? Wow!
I saw something like that in a museum once.
Oh, sorry Sir. I didn't mean to get off the track.
So if you could just help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island Sir? No? I didn't think so...
Well, listen, anyway, I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be "Not released" or "Not available." I'm sure it's just an oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are I have them written down here somewhere -- oh wait. I'll just read it to you.
Could you please help me find these things, Sir?
1. Occidental College records -- Not released
2. Columbia College records -- Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper -- "Not available"
4. Harvard College records -- Not released
5. Selective Service Registration -- Not released
6. Medical records -- Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule -- Not available
8. Your Illinois State Senate records -- Not available
9. Law practice client list -- Not released
10. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate -- Not released
11. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth -- Not released
12. Record of your baptism -- Not available
13. Why your wife, Michelle, can no longer practice law as an attorney? (Insurance Fraud?_
14.. Why your wife has 22 assistants, when other First Ladies had one?
15.. Why were you getting "foreign student aid" as a college student?
16.. Which countries "passport" did you have when you visited Pakistan in 1981?
Oh and one more thing Mr.. President, I can't seem to find any articles you published as editor of the Harvard Law Review, or as a Professor at the University of Chicago .
Can you explain that to me, Sir?
Oh, but hey -- listen! I know you're busy! If this is too much for you right now -- I mean -- tell you what. I'll come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get these things together, you know? I mean, I know you're busy. I'll just let myself out. I'll be back tomorrow. And the day after. . ...
What's that Mr. President? Who wants to know these things?
We the People of the United States of America ! You know, the ones that vote.
SEND THIS OUT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS......
I (WE) WANT TO KNOW

(135 posts)I find when calling others names, such as idiot, or moron, I find it helps to spell *moron* correctly
Rincewind
(1,203 posts)to use the word "Moran" instead of "Moron". It comes from a picture posted several years ago of a right wing protester that was wearing an American flag bandanna and hold a sign that said "Get a brain morans".

(353 posts)some years ago there was some people carrying signs basically calling other people idiots while they had misspelled moron. I cannot remember what it was about but it was something of a meme for along time.

Game Over......
Beyond that I would just ignore the email or send them to Snopes to do their own research with a reply all.

(37,160 posts)Michelle cannot currently practice law because she had her license put on inactive status (and POTUS put his on "retired" status). They did this because they were not engaged in work that required them to act as attorneys (officers of the court) in Illinois. Keeping the license active requires them to pay a variety of fees, dues, have insurance, etc. and take continuing education courses to stay current, and they opted out of that.
The nutbars try to imply some sort of wrongdoing (the relative tossed around the word "disbarred" , but it's their usual crap.
Factcheck and Snopes have pages on it, just search on "Obama" and "disbarred".

(37,160 posts)The whole "shucks, sir, could you take a moment" bit at the start lays it on so thick it's f***ing unreadable. If you've got something to say, GET TO THE POINT YOU MORON!

(50,559 posts)And just as soon as Mitt Romney releases his tax returns, bank statements, statement of net worth, list of countries he has his money stashed in and a by-name list of the people he fired while at Bain Capital, Sarah Palin explains why her house and the Wasilla hockey rink have the exact same windows, and every GOP congressman who signed Norquist's pledge explains why he or she believes some bearded troll is more important than the American people, I'll send them right out.
I will never have to send them out.
