Obama wants Democrats to make sure they get “Cousin Pookie” off the couch and into the voting booth, tomorrow.

The president is trying out a joke, obviously. They’re unamused at Hot Air, and are innocently asking who is Cousin Pookie?

Obama is from Chicago, after all. Check the pet cemeteries.

    Hey, we’ve been talking about the Communion of Saints — what’s wrong with giving truly universal suffrage including the dearly departed? (Brings a new meaning to “absentee ballot” eh?)

    I don’t know…Democrats had better let Cousin Pookie stay on the couch… sometimes he gets all “wee-wee’d” up about things and votes Republican!

    Hoping for a clean sweep tomorrow – Hoffman, Christie, and McDonnell.

    Maybe that will give pause to the blue-dog democrats and enable us to defeat this train-wreck of a health care bill.

    I am sure most people would like to see the health care system improved. But, how can anyone support this House bill?

    The Wall Street Journal declares the bill – “The Worst Ever.” Details here: http://allhands-ondeck.blogspot.com/2009/11/wall-street-journal-declares-house.html

    I have an Uncle Pookie who hasn’t voted since LBJ. I love Pook but it’s better that way.

    LOL funny! Two of my grandchildren call me Pookie! But I’m not dead yet and I’m certainly no friend of the Democrats! LOL
