*UPDATE*Barack the Magic 8 Ball Deluxe Edition” has arrived – loaded with even more vague and meaningless blather! CREATED BY the IOTW design staff – with no cooperation whatsoever by Barack Obama! Warning: Don’t get caught with your speakers down, you will want to hear BO’s answers! So think carefully, pose your questions and press the button!

 

 If you’re like us, you’ve heard enough of Obama’s ramblings and incoherent answers.  And in response to your flood of emails praising the Magic 8 Ball, we will be updating it regularly!  Yippee, fun and Barack, who’d have thought?!

    why, yes i did. we talked in great detail about it. cannot remember a damn thing. ummm, beer was involved. i do remember that she didn’t get paid royalties though (she would be very rich) and i believe she said the sum of 1500 was paid to her.

    let me try to think about what she told me. maybe my dead brain cells will come back to life… ;)

    i just did some google work and apparently the world thinks that Peter Paul and Mary wrote it. if i recall correctly, she told me she sold it to “somebody in college” so it could’ve been one of them.

    also, there is a reference to “Cherry Lane” and “Hona Lee” or Honah Lee, which through a daze and fog i remember, she told me it was the county/city (?) where the Judge Lee was (“Your Honor, Lee”) so the “land of Honah Lee” would’ve been that place. and close to the ocean, or an island. maybe Long Island? can’t remember… sorry. but it really was a children’s story about a magic dragon. she did not mean drugs. she did not like that.

    i don’t think she was making it up. she also played bit parts in a couple old TV shows, like Gunsmoke or something like that. she was quite a gal. she had a “Pantomime Phantasy” show they did every week there that was really something. kinda like karaoke on steroids – where u dress up the part of the song. good memories. foggy on details. LOL ;)

    oh yea, one of my former friends up there then married her daughter. lost track over the years, have no clue where they are.

    Well -
    First of all, we appreciate the Reeko blitz! Keep that kind of thing coming!
    But here are the problems we had creating those other balls:

    -The Pelosi balls were 85% plastic and were so tight the jaws wouldn’t move.
    -The Reid balls were covered with dry, crinkly gray hairs and you couldn’t see what was going on.
    -The Frank balls were fused to some guy’s chin, like super glue, so we scratched that one.
    - The Biden balls didn’t work. Biden’s mouth wouldn’t move without a foot suddenly appearing in it. So it was too buggy.
    -Hillary Balls – have you seen the price of Brass lately?

    Furthermore, I think you are all simply bigoted and allowing this to get in your way of viewing a great president as anything more than a black man.

    Don’t try to deny it, you know it to be true.

    Thank you, HurrDurr for being a useful idiot.

    Thank GOD we’ve had control of the public school system so that we could produce the type of moron who wouldn’t recognize the dismantling of what made this country great.

Of which is totally understandable considering the warm, moist and dark environment he wishes to maintain… I figure since he has not expired, he must have employed a provider of oxygen for that sole purpose… Don’t you just love how those Neo Nazi’s that become fixated on the type of government that caters to the rich while the rest of the country waits for the “Trickle Down Theory” to begin. How the rich get richer and the poor die… How they could care less for their fellow brethren as long as they can get what they think is theirs… How its ok for the government representative placed in office to work for us (as the majority), and then accepts millions of dollars from the rich to do their bidding in lieu of his majority constituents… How our previous leaders manipulated the treasury to open the doors and give away our tax dollars (to the rich) in the worlds biggest scam this country/world has ever seen… So big, it makes the Bernie Madoff scam look like child’s play, all with our “Leaders” leading the way…

    Um, loonytoon.
    When the rich get richer, the poor get richer. Simple economic fact.
    And in your insane rant you never address why some phucknut is entitled to anyone else’s money.
    If people are getting tax money back it’s only right, it’s THEIR money to begin with.
    The government doesn’t have money to give people. The money they have has been TAKEN from the people.
    Another simple fact that you’re too insane to comprehend.
    Question:
    What SPECIFIC policies have the right instituted that prevents anyone from achieving any goal they desire?
    Answer that honestly and you just might do everyone a favor by cutting your wrists. It will finally dawn on you that you’re actually a loser.

    Hey Mr. BigFurNuts, So tell me how this rich get richer poor get richer shit works, because someone has skipped a critical step, if I recollect. So, how it works to you is you relief some poor smo of his hard earned money under some promise you can make him more, all along knowing your just going to relieve him of his life savings, am I right so far? Then you take that money plus all the other smo’s you ripped off and send it to some off-shore account, right? Whoops! I forgot, YOU haven’t paid any taxes, um the poor smo has though… But as you have stated the smo’s are getting richer, right?. How? Is it in wisdom? Cause their pocket book still looks empty to them and that job they once had has dried up. Now, their out on the street, lost their house and probably family. However, the rich with their off-shore accounts are getting richer and are merrily going on with their lives whining about taxes that their STILL NOT paying. Sounds like a wonderful life, don’t it? The disturbing aspect to this is there is no morality to what you think you are doing. It’s just preying on the weaker moral community to you…
    Answered honestly, the favor may be everyone finding out what you been doing and collectively cutting your wrists… Yes, it has dawned on me that, YOU are a loser…

    Hey, Mr. Porno, Much to your probable dismay, I still have my two dollars!!! I would be speaking of the thousands that were taken by your Daddy Bernie and the other Millions that were taken by your grandpa CEO Bankster. You know the ones that were bound by law to conduct business in an honorable manner as to build a strong country for all of it’s citizens than to take that deviant detour and throw the country and it’s citizens under the bus and then run it off the cliff… Then do everything in their power to keep it in the gorge.
    After this Administration went through the trouble of pulling it out of the gorge, cleaning up the carcasses, repairing it for continued service, you got the gall to demand the keys back!!! What! So your greedy ass can drive it of the cliff again! As your illustrious Orange man (Bonehead Boehner) stated before he was made to eat crow on the Health Reform Bill, “Hell No!” you can’t have the keys back!!! But you can lie in a nice neat row and allow he bus to run you over when it continues it’s journey!!!
