1. Oh shit. Is this real?! That's some funny stuff. Brilliant.

I'm cracking up---Elmo speak. Hahaha.

You get a :kick: Rec'd and Bookmarked.

2. No Not Real

but very funny nonetheless.

I like how the writers reference Obama's calm demeanor, Joe Biden's "being Joe Biden", Rahm's reputation, the dog, etc.

It's the funny and human things about these folks that make me smile.

3. Ahh...understood.

It would kill me if the emails came out and they were like this to an extent. I'd be like...lordy.

6. Laughing so hard it hurts..

To: Jon Favreau [e-mail]

Subject: Re: Bank nationalisation

Thanks for your ideas. I agree that if we're finally going to give in and do this, we'll need a word less incendiary than "nationalisation", but I don't think "de-re-unprivatise" will fool anybody. Have another think, please. Thanks, Barack

:rofl:

10. These are great

To: Eric H. Holder Jr.
Subject: torture and retribution

Let me reiterate that the final legal decisions are yours to make. I just think we need to clarify our intentions: where possible we may seek prosecution of Bush officials (Cheney) but we must under no circumstances prosecute CIA agents who acted on the orders of the White House (Cheney), because justice will not be served by a witch hunt, and because I don't want my latte poisoned, and neither do you. I send an intern out to a different Starbucks every day, just to be on the safe side. Barack.




To: Anita Dunn, acting White House communications director
Subject: welcome aboard

Thanks Anita. It's great of you to help out while we look for someone permanent. And relax, the job isn't as hard as it looks. Just don't let Biden send any emails unless someone reads them first, and make sure Rahm doesn't punch anyone important. Our nation is facing unprecedented economic challenges and a possible pandemic, but I think you'll find that most of the questions will be about the dog. Have you got enough tissues in your office, btw? Let me know if you need more. BHO

11. still reading, these are great!

the British spellings give it away though ;)

12. OK, I'm not crazy about the one about Biden and the SC nominee

'cause I'm happy we never had Chief Justice Bork.

Or repeatedly implying he's a womanizer?!

There are plenty of OTHER things for which Joe can be teased. Literally.
