I’m still important! Look at my tie! Fear the tie!
Rahm Emanuel skitters in front of the podium as Obama addresses the press.
Michael Smith scurries by as Obama lauds Wall Street reform vote.
Putting the jokes aside, I remember many years ago on a warm fall night walking around the back of the White House. I too could see the rats scurrying around in the dark. I’m amazed they still have that rat problem at the WhiteHouse.
@ Steve
The rat problem has clearly spread inside the White House.
Mr. Obama and his little friend have the elephants on the run.
They’d exterminate but the head RAT is protected by Federal law, and the exterminators while having done the entire nation a great service, would face charges for attempted murder of the head of state.
Reminds me of the scene from the Wizard of Oz: With the furry vermin pronouncing “Never mind the man behind the podium,.... I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OBAMA.”
The rats leaving since the house is too dirty for him.
