Rahm and Barry’s Excellent T-Shirt Stand
Vanity Fair asks, “Can Washington be fixed?” Rahm and Barry have the answer:
“It got so bad last December that President Obama and Emanuel would joke that, when it was all over, they were going to open a T-shirt stand on a beach in Hawaii. It would face the ocean and sell only one color and one size. “We didn’t want to make another decision, or choice, or judgment,” Emanuel tells Purdum. They took to beginning staff meetings with Obama smiling at Emanuel and simply saying “White,” and Emanuel nodding back and replying “Medium.”
By all means go set up that T-shirt stand, don’t let us stop you.

Just goes to show what economic geniuses these guys are.
Everyone who sells clothing knows that if you must sell just one size of t-shirt, you’d better be selling size large.
They’d be broke in a week.

LOL, my alternate headline for this was Stand back Rahm and Barry about to try capitalism. I guess they figure no one will need larger than a medium after Michelle’s phenomenal obesity campaign is over.

Poor dears. It must be very taxing to have to choose day after day which moves will be the worst for capitalism.

Obama acts like he’s president of a frat, not the US. No matter how bad he wants it: this isn’t Animal House.
