That's true, which makes this an even better idea.
He could take the maybe $150 million saved, put it in the bank and use the interest earned to pay for health care.

If you say it fast enough, it makes sense.

The interest on $150 million at the current rates would possibly supply asprin to one nursing home for one week.

Then the logical answer is to put all the sick people in one nursing home.
It's a medically proven fact that only 1/52nd of any given population sample has a headache at the same time.
So, there would be enough aspirin annually.

Change! It's a Hope we can believe in!

I thought all this "Hope" stuff would go away after Clinton had his presidential library/strip-joint built there. Little did I know...

That explains it. Obama has a Roush Nitemate.

NASCAR will continue despite this!
The upside is no one will need hearing protection with 43 electric cars buzzing around the track.

The pit crews will be the same, except the Gas Man will be replaced by a guy holding jumper cables.

Oh, and pit stops will be 59 minutes vice 14 seconds.
But other than that, no changes.

Nah. You have it all wrong. They'll electrify the track and put contact points on the cars to access the power. No-more fuel related pit-stops at all, and there will be the added element of possible electrocution for the drivers.

I know how that setup works. The two slots would mean the 41 cars in back could never pass.
The Qualifying race would mean everything.

Though the owners would love it, they could fire the drivers and just sit up in the luxury boxes, working those pistol grips.

Obama probably doesn't even know how NASCAR works. I imagine he is close-minded like the rest of the NASCAR haters. Just cars driving left.

It's not fair that some people get a couple hundred EXTRA bucks. It's also not fair that they call it a "Christmas" bonus. That will HAVE TO change, for sure! First we're going to have to call them "holiday bonuses", and then we're going to be shamed into giving them back.

Even cooler will be when NO ONE gets payraises anymore. There will be a bureaucracy that decides how much every person should recieve for income. That will be SO fair. Why would anyone want an incentive when they could have the good feeling of knowing that their financial stagnation insures that everyone, EVERYONE, can have a big, flat panel television and a margarita maker regardless of ambition or responsibility.

Warrantless wiretapping? HELL NO!

The redistribution of wealth? The restructuring of our society through central planning? The end of the American way of life? HELL YES! YES WE CAN! GO OBAMA!

Oh, and pretty funny Car and Driver.
