Pocket Change

Obama pitches "Rummage through your couches" day....

....and whatever you find, of course, you're to send to him.  You might as well, as he'll just tax it away from you later anyhow.

I guess two minutes and thirteen seconds wasn't enough to even give cursory specifics on just exactly which of George W. Bush's have "failed," or how he defines "failure".  It evidently wasn't even long enough to enunciate his full name.  Either that or he's on a first name basis with the hundreds of thousands of donors that have coughed up a lung to bury his campaign in greenbacks.  Or he's going for the "one name" gimmick, and rather than being known as President Obama, he'll demand to be referred to simply as "Barack".

Pity his approach to governance isn't similarly minimalist.  Maybe all that pocket change would be sufficient to pay for it.
