It depends on what your definition of torture is.....






While Americans whirled after the Sunday morning political talk shows, the president met behind closed doors, shielded from the public, to forge a new template to address the worsening economy.  The public asunder, Republicans derisive,  the president taking criticism from every quarter, Obama has moved in what some are describing as "his boldest steps yet".  Inside sources tell us that the president has chosen a couple from Finland to stimulate his policy both here and abroad.  "They will address the charges of protectionism in the EU, Russia, China, Canada, and else where"

"Here, they will offer an alternative to just standing around and watching our way of life spiral out of control. They are seasoned veterans, and speak a universal language. We gained access to a copy of a tape shown to those present; members of the cabinet, Directors of CIA, NSA, Homeland Security,Military Chiefs of Staff,  Speakers of both houses, minority leaders, members of several key committees, and even former Presidents. The president will present more details in his address to nation on Tuesday night.



Republicans had a unified response releasing there own versions:

John Boehner: "Finland, isn't that a socialist country?"
on reforming entitlements, taxes, and taking back the wealth of the country (that we deserve) 
 senate version bootstraps version:  YouTube - James Brown-Get up Offa That Thing      

Mitch McConnell: "What do I think? It depends on what your definition of torture is."

John McCain:  "They lost me some where in there, but it sounded like one step forward, two steps back."  YouTube - Learn how to Waltz - Ballroom Dancing

Lindsey Graham: "What's next, mechanical bull riding?. Look I keep trying to tell you people, central planning like this, it's been tried before, it doesn't work".



White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs:   "First, were dealing with hear say, I'm not going to get out in front of the president on this, he will tell everyone what he plans on Tuesday night. Second the president has always maintained that he is willing to listen to all good ideas.   Personally, I'm partial to that falsetto voice, I think it can still be very effective". They later released this video on their website: YouTube - James Brown - Good Foot (Rare)

Bill Clinton: Well, I like what Mitch McConnell had to say but I would just ad this, wait is Hillery still in Asia?
