Stackars Obama

Att vara USAs president är inte det mest tacksamma jobbet. Barack Obamas popularitet sjunker och de demokratiska kandidaterna inför mellanårsvalet i nästa månad föredrar att kampanja utan honom.

Hans motståndare i det senaste presidentvalet, Mitt Romney, gör just nu succé när han på mötena som samlar in pengar till det republikanska partiets kandidater drar denna historia:

President Obama went to the bank to cash a check and he didn’t have his ID. And the teller said you’ve got to prove who you are.

He said, ”How should I do that?” She said the other day Phil Mickelson came in, he didn’t have his ID but he set up a little cup on the ground, took a golf ball, putted it right into that cup so they knew it was Phil Mickelson. They cashed his check.

And then Andre Agassi came in. And Andre Agassi didn’t have his ID either. He put a little target on the wall, took a tennis ball and racquet– hit it onto that target time. We knew that was Andre Agassi so we cashed his check.

And she said to him, ”Is there anything you can do to prove who you are?” And [Obama] said, ”I don’t have a clue.”

And she said, ”Well, Mr. President, do you want your money in small bills or large bills.”
I de spekulationer som pågår för fullt om vem som ska bli republikanskt presidentkandidat 2016 nämns Romney fortfarande, men jag betvivlar att han kommer att ställa upp ännu en gång. Amerikaner gillar inte förlorare.
