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.

  1. LOL! I was wondering if you were gonna post this, saw it up on Drudge a few minutes ago.

    So many signs. This is just another.

  2. 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.

  3. Rats in the White House? I KNOW, Obummer!
    .

  4. Duh, we knew a rat bastard when he got elected.
    Jesse Vinson Creel ,Templar knight,knew this god rest his soul. He knew a lying terd when he saw one. We all know it now. The dye is cast, lets rock. powder is dry.

  5. It is probably Joe Biden

  6. Looks like the rats know it’s time to leave.

  7. He scurried off to Obama’s left.

    Funny — I didn’t know there was anything to the left of Der Fuhrer.

  8. Which one is the ‘rat’?????

  9. 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.”

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

  12. It’s a known fact that “rats” like to live with there master “the devil”.

  13. Re: my last post

    update:

    “Hillsborough police said an agreement has been reached to allow residents of the Maple Leaf Village complex to fly flags.”

  14. Where there’s Democrats. there will always be rats.

  15. Birds of a feather flock together. when the excrement hits the fan the true observant rats leave the sinking ship first. OMEN

  16. It was just the correspondent from Fox news sulking away after calling The President of America a Socialist Nazi.

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

  18. Those are the rats fleeing a sinking ship.!!!

  19. hey PW #16

    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.

  20. Rahm Emmanuel lets his secret out: he is an unregistered Animagus.

    Come to think of it, Wormtail sounds like a great moniker for ol’ Deadfish.

  21. 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

  22. LOL @ “President of America.”

    Wow. Just….wow.

  23. You dirty rat!

    You gotta lotta nerve.

    Standing behind that podium…

  24. jd

    6. The rat is there to replace Director of Intelligence Dennis Blair, who resigned at Obama’s request today.

  25. Jim, what happened to your Facebook stats at the upper-right? A couple of days ago I was watching it skyrocket, it got past 1,100…now it’s at zero. ???

  26. I thought the rat resembled Arlen Specter, but maybe it’s just my imagination.

  27. You can’t spell Democrat without r-a-t.

  28. It was a lemming that just heard about the Senate’s vote on financial regulations and was trying to find a cliff to jump off of before the economy kills him.

  29. No No that was the socialist agenda czar.

  30. 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!

  31. Wait a minute, I’m confused which one is the rat?

  32. Just for the record – the rat isn’t impressed with Obarney, either.

  33. 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.

    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.”

  35. The headline should be:

    A rat was interrupted by Obama’s speech today…

  36. 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.

  37. Take the trash out every once in a while….jack$$s!

  38. Obama didn’t want to give the appearance of “profiling” the poor rat.

    guess his hands are a lot faster than his feet..

    hmmm, only thing i know of that both
    flies and rats hang around is garbage..

    ==

  41. 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.”

  42. “It was just the correspondent from Fox news sulking away after calling The President of America a Socialist Nazi.”

    Check my last comment on the previous thread. I was wondering if you’d seen that.

  44. Chisum, you’re so much more succinct than I. Cheers!

  45. I’m reminded of the rats leading the way for the passengers in steerage as the ship was going down in Titanic

  46. Relatives visiting from Chicago.

  47. Taqiyyotomist,

    He keeps changing his name but he doesn’t get any smarter.

    Cheers to you!

  48. I don’t like it… it’s a small brained, beady eyed animal, with long yellow teeth that chews away at anything it needs… oh, wait, that’s Obama.

  49. ++

    enjoying the jokes..

    here’s my attempt..

    okay Meesh, you went too far this time, no more Harry Potter for you..

  50. How about a little mood music:

  51. I see two rats in that picture. The filthy rat is hiding behind the podium.

    Bad kharma.

  52. “America! America!
    God shed his grace on thee
    And crown thy good with brotherhood
    From sea to shining sea!”

  53. 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.

  54. Poor rat…

    It has to live with Obama…

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

  56. That’s no rat – it’s David Axelrod!

  57. 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.

  58. 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…..

  59. If that’s a rat, it probably was sampling some of the White House state dinner the night befo…

    Uh-oh…

  61. This is the very first time we have seen the twins in the same room. It’s obvious to me that the smaller one has all the looks while the taller one has all the ears.

  62. Birds of a feather

  63. 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.

  64. Those rats are sure well fed, that one looks to be about 6 ft tall.

    Flies, too, I believe.

  67. Don’t let him chew on the teleprompter’s wires!

  68. Dan Rather:”They should get a cat.”

    A cat would not live with a rat like Obama.

  69. 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.

  70. “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!

    Indonesian film portrays Obama’s early years

  71. What’s next? Bed bugs in the Lincoln Bedroom?

  72. The rat was actually there from the BUSH administration!!!!

  73. WH still fighting crotch cricket infestation left from Clinton.

  74. The biggest rat is standing at the podium.

  75. vole, mole, rat or mouse… Let’s just say that “The White House is infested with vermin”

  76. Vole? Is that a rat with $5 in its pocket?

    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.

  78. 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.

    http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/05/the-new-term-for-the-war-on-terror/56969/

  79. 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.

  80. That’s a mouse, not a rat.

  81. The rat was dubbed “mini me” but by which democrat? Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Axelrod or Emanual?
