What -gate scandals will the right wingers create under an Obama administration?
Edited on Sat Dec-06-08 04:07 PM by ck4829
You may remember Travelgate, Memogate, Filegate, etc. Then they vanished for the past eight years, now with a Democrat as President, I will predict right here, right now, that they will make a comeback.

Here are possible -gates:

Assassingate: President Obama foiled a would-be assassin by beating him to a pulp with a table leg, now the assassin feels like he is the victim. Conservatives and Republicans are now calling for his impeachment.

Breathgate: President Obama has been accused by Rep. Virgil Goode that "Obama is breathing on me!!!!" and now wants him charged with felonious assault. Conservatives and Republicans are now calling for his impeachment.

Dreamgate: People at Free Republic have accused President Obama of trespassing into their dreams and giving them terrible nightmares of him giving them health care. Conservatives and Republicans are now calling for his impeachment.

Presentgate: President Obama has been accused by conservatives of not reporting gifts from his wife and daughters on December 25. Conservatives and Republicans are now calling for his impeachment.

Puppygate: President Obama rescued a puppy from a burning building, now some are accusing him of wagging the puppy. Conservatives and Republicans are now calling for his impeachment.

Obama's really, really intelligent. The wingers can't stand that...there has to be something wrong with a President who can speak in complete sentences and pronounce nuclear correctly.

4. Happygate
The American people are so happy that President Obama must be promising them fort knox and all the virgins any could ever dream of. Both obviously a lie as the war mongers have made off with all the doe and no one is born a virgin anymore, they abort those, hell everyone knows that. So the republicons will once again step up to the plate to protect America and call for impeachment followed by investigations looking to prove they were right all along that President Obama is a closet muzzlim :rofl:
