I have a new New York Post column on how in 2012 Obama will have to run pretty much the opposite campaign he did in 2008 since hope and change are now his enemies.
When people are hopeful, they’ll bypass all their reservations about a new candidate (that’s how Obama got elected).
A potato could run against Obama, and people would say, “Well, a potato won’t increase spending or raise taxes. In fact, a potato could be the next Calvin Coolidge!” That’s why Obama has to crush all hope and make people believe that, as bad as things are, this is as good as it gets no matter who is president. Plus, a potato is a racist.
I would prefer a potato over Obama AND over some of the republicans.
Must be a white potato.
Tater 2012!
Calvin Coolidge would have made a better president, had he been criss-cut, deep-fried, and sprinkled with seasoning salt.
And, if he gets out of line, he could be mashed, sliced, diced, scalloped, baked, skewered or turned into bisque – all the things we normally want to do to a President but can’t. He could even be made into booze.
Ladies and gentlemen, the next President of the United States: Ida Ho Potato and his good wife, Ivanna Topping.
(Ok, this is not good.)
Jimmy:
I was thinking Mr. Potato Head would be a better president than Mr. **** Head. (You fill it in.)
Ron “Tater Salad” White in 2012!

Speaking of more of the same, Romney says the individual mandate is in line with conservative principles. Conservative Marxist-Leninist principles?
Speaking of despair, whenever he thinks of this politics crap, Good Time Marko’s got the blues.
Potatoes aren’t necessarily racist but jokes about the state the best ones come from can be. For example: Why won’t black women enter the Miss Idaho contest? Because no black woman wants to wear a sash that says I-da-ho! Now THAT’S racist………..funny too.
“Despair and Stagnation” – Obama really is channeling Jimmy Carter! It’s too late to re-name Bo, but maybe they can get a cat and name it “Malaise.”
Mr. Potato Head would be the first President from Rhode Island. Mighty big field of wannabees. At least 47 shown here: http://www.mrpotatohead.net/statues/statues.html
Independent Potato would get my vote.
the plus a potato is racist line is probably the best thing you ever wrote… ever.
I’m not saying stop now, I’m just saying that its gonna be real hard to top that.
Oh, I misread that.
I though it said, “Plus, the potato is a rapist”.
“A gentleman told me recently that he doubted I would vote for the Angel Gabriel if found at the head of the Democratic Party, to which I responded that the Angel Gabriel would never be found in such company. Speaking quite dispassionately, and simply as a historian, the Democrats can be trusted invariably to walk in the darkness even when to walk in the light would be manifestly to their advantage.” – Teddy Roosevelt
“A potato could run against Obama”
I think Bloomberg has banned potatoes, so that may be a problem in New York.
Yeah, Potato would be a great candidate, but Corn will win Iowa. (Besides, Corn is an honored veteran; Colonel, you know.) (Har har har skip it)
Ha-ha, good one Mxymaster …..but it was spelled Korn.
At least a potato can actually do some work in this information age.

That’s better than anything Obama ever did.
But a potato wouldn’t be able to make it halfway through the campaign before being mauled by Meechelle.
