Obama Communications Issues

Bwahahaha

President Barack Obama expressed frustration Wednesday after members of his cabinet failed to recognize his allusion to the 24th issue of the comic series Savage Sword Of Conan during their first major meeting together.

Obama, whose upcoming challenges include organizing a massive effort to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure, was reportedly unprepared for the confused silence he received upon suggesting that his cabinet ‘team up with Taurus of Nemedia’ to secure the necessary funding from Congress.

‘If my inner circle of advisers can’t even communicate about the most basic issues, how are we going to tackle the massive problems our nation faces?’ Obama said during a press conference. ‘When I tell my cabinet that getting bipartisan support is exactly like the time Conan got Taurus to help him steal Yara’s jewel, they need to understand what I mean.’

It gets even better, including the President’s frustration at distinguishing between DC and Marvel.

Behold: The First Long Boxes.

    Why is Obama acting as if the Republicans won?

    Yeah, I’m with Vik, why are republicans crawling all over the place, lying and sneearing on my TV and outta my radio like they still run the place? What’s up?

    And what can I do? I get Marvel and DC mixed up too, so can never enter the Inner Circle of Obama the Presidentarian.

    And… Willis not covering the great Alba/OReilly smackdown?
    Alba dominated. She knows stuff, besides other attributes. Very nice. You probably need to post a hot pic to do the story justice.

    Sometimes I get the feeling you guys don’t actually read OW.com.

    Hell, even I saw Oliver covered the Alba/O’Reilly fight.

    And this article highlights one of my major problems with Obama. He’s a Marvel fanboy. While Marvel has some good stuff, DC is clearly the greater company. Anyone who can’t recognize this has no business being in any kind of position of power, let alone the chief executive of the nation.

    Come on… Marvel has Norman Osborne. DC has Lex Luthor.

    “While Marvel has some good stuff, DC is clearly the greater company. ”

    Wrong.

    Too much of D.C was created during the Golden Age when comic book heroes were boring.

    On a side note, I remember not too long ago right wingers were saying you couldn’t make fun of Obama.

    I guess they were wrong.

    Are fanboys STILL playing the “who’s better, Marvel or D.C.?” nonsense? Really?

    How about “both have good books, both have bad books”? No? Too adult for you?

    How about Image, Dynamite, and Dark Horse have actually caught up to them in the quantity of high-quality books? Too mind-blowing?

    Jay Tea, what’s stunning is your ability to say stupid shit about any number of different topics.

    How about Image, Dynamite, and Dark Horse have actually caught up to them in the quantity of high-quality books?

    No mention of idw? What’s wrong with you?
