It’s official. Rats are in the White House.

A rat interrupted Obama’s speech today in the Rose Garden. (See photo- via Drudge)
The AP reported:
In his battle with the titans of Wall Street, President Barack Obama almost got upstaged by a rat.
But he didn’t even seem to notice. Assuming that’s what it was, scurrying in front of his podium Thursday in a sun-drenched Rose Garden.

So many signs. This is just another.
AJ commented:
Of course he didnt notice, Obama is used to seeing rats at the White House everyday.
Too obvious?
I just find it awesomely awesome that the fates hooked us up with such a fitting image.

Martha commented:
Rats run in packs right? Well the “Leader of the Pack” so to speak is the one behind the podium, the little guy is just looking for his mates. however it is a telling omen.

Veteran Ordered To Remove Flag From Outside Home
“HILLSBOROUGH, N.H. –
A Navy veteran is fighting to be able to show his patriotism by flying an American flag outside his apartment building.
Joe LeVangie, 88, said he’s upset after he and his neighbors were told to take their flags down because flying them was against management policy. He said there should be an exception for the flag.
LeVangie, a World War II veteran, said he used to fly his American flag outside his apartment at the Maple Leaf complex in Hillsborough.
“In respect for all the troops serving overseas now and for those who never came back,” he said.
But recently, his management company told all residents that their flags had to come down. The brackets for the flag poles were also removed.
“I was madder than hell,” he said. “Come to find out, it was the maintenance man who was told to do so.”
The same thing happened to Margery Kenney, who lives next door. Her brackets were taken down, and her flag is now rolled up against the wall.
“My whole family was in the service, and it’s a shame something like this was allowed to happen,” she said.”

Rats in the White House……That’s probably what that rodent thought when the Obamas moved in too.

Was the rat working for the NYT or one of the TV news networks.

The president of America?????
This is the United States, where are you from?
And by the way, the president of the United States…is a socialist. That rat was Goobert Fibbs, scurrying away to try and figure out how to spin this at the next Spin(press) conference.

jd commented:
a few easy jokes:
1. rats can always smell their own
2. obama immediately blamed the rat presence on bush
3. obama hired the rat, because in all honesty, it had more real world experience then his staff combined
4. the rat was looking for amnesty
5. strong rat lobby in the whitehouse

What did you expect…he came from the Chicago projects! Rats, cockroaches, fleas, Rahm, Valerie Jarret, Michelle and all the Chicago insects came along with him too!!
At least this cute little critter was smart enough to get up and leave!!!! Even a rat knows bull$hit when he hears it!
Sandy commented:
Wait a minute, I’m confused which one is the rat?
antisocialist commented:
Just for the record – the rat isn’t impressed with Obarney, either.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Speaking of rats, Scott Brown just voted (again, as usual) with the Democrats, and passed the Democrats’ insane Financial Reform bill.
As I said months ago, this is an age of many and deep deceptions.
The Antichrist will be a Tea Partier or a Republican. And he will fool almost everyone.
…for a while.
Yes, lets elect a Tea Party candidate in ’12, and place all our Hope in him or her for our salvation. It’s all deception now. Nothing but, and from all sides. Put your hope in GOD.
PaulWalker commented:
aro5o75 and Taqiyy #20 & #23
Lol@ “Wow. Just….wow.”
Yes, you got me, I should of typed in The President of “The United States” of America and did so originally but I made a minor change and inadvertently deleted part of my post. Thank you for your diligent editorial oversight.
But really Big Deal you got on a typo is that any reason to get so self righteous over a matter of semantics?
Now, sing along with me…
“America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!”
Or perhaps you have a problem singing this song because it doesn’t mention “The United States” either.
“Wow. Just….wow.”

The headline should be:
A rat was interrupted by Obama’s speech today…

So fitting. So artistic.
The sad truth may be that they’ve trashed the living quarters. Remember the trash scene the dahli lama had to walk through??
You can take them out of the ghetto , but you can’t make them clean up their sh@t. They’ll have to fumigate the WH when they get tossed out.

Taqiyyotomist commented:
Paul, the semantics — or typo, whatever — was secondary, I admit, to the too-clever comment itself.
Obama is a socialist, that has been proven. He was a card-carrying member of the New Party in Chicago, an actual socialist party. He has done nothing to dissuade anybody from thinking he is a socialist, and everything to show us that he is.
As to the Nazi comment, he and his administration are indeed following the example set by ol’ Adolph, so far.
I guess you’ll need mass graves before you’ll be convinced. Nothing but. The SEIU goons don’t matter to you. OFA doesn’t matter. Taking over the banking and mortgage industries doesn’t matter. Taking over the auto industries doesn’t give you a clue. Taking over the healthcare industry doesn’t matter. Denigrating, investigating, and imprisoning our citizens doesn’t clue you in. You need camps and mass graves, and that’s all that will convince you. His support of Islam and his outright dissing of our staunchest allies doesn’t matter. His entire history doesn’t matter. The gas chambers and the deaths of millions is all that will convince you.
I doubt that it would. You, like many Good Germans, would, EVEN THEN, believe it was all for the ultimate good of the State. Perhaps nothing at all will convince you.
That much was obvious from the content of your comment. “President of America” was just icing on the whole, obvious cake, and further cause for “wow.”

If you read the full article, reporters were discussing whether it was a rat, mole, vole, or whatever. If they had even had that much curiousity about Obama before the election, we may have been better served.

Poor rat…
It has to live with Obama…

Lots of funny comments here – but Sojourner, yours is THE best!

That’s no rat – it’s David Axelrod!

Jennifer, #55, LOL!
Indeed, the reporters should have had as much curiosity about Obama before the election as they have about the rat now.
A rat, mole, or vole by another name would smell as foul.
cargosquid commented:
I see the rat.
But that furry thing scurrying in front of the podium seems to be a vole.
Oh, the jokes about rats leaving a sinking ship…..

Dan Rather commented:
I think it’s a vole, and I’d rather have rats. Voles go underground and tear up everything, and leave dirt piles and ruin all your hard work. If it was a rat, it would have the guts to stand and fight, and you could hit it with a shovel.
Oh, and the animal looks like a mole. They should get a cat.

A cat would not live with a rat like Obama.
Andreas K. commented:
What strikes me more shocking is that this rat apparently was not afraid of the media and everyone else.
Either its sick, or knows that there is no danger coming from the current folks living in the WH.
Both cases, however, point to some really bad hygienic problems.

“Four years of the RAT”
Will be a great title for the new movie on obama.Purely for posterity, you know.
And finally we will know something at least, about who the guy really is. Probably as believable as all of what’s already been told. Which is little to nada.
Yeah buddy! Nada damned thing!

Your posted comments are so filled with grammatical and punctuation mistakes that your posted comment to correct your “President of America” comment only makes your stupidity more apparent. You should just stop because the more you post, the more you prove you’re an idiot.
Chisum commented:
The New Term for the War on Terror
If you blinked, you might have missed it. The Obama administration has unofficially rebranded “war on terror” phrase that dominated public discourse throughout the Bush administration. The replacement phrase, carefully chosen, is “CVE” — Countering Violent Extremism.

The chosen one is standing behind a “lecturn”.
A “podium” is an elevated surface one stands on, as in the Tour De France.
And it’s just a small rat scurring around
the West Kremlin – how appropriate.
