Coaching Chairman Zero
Anyone who has heard our adolescent excuse for a president jabbering about college basketball while the economy goes down the tubes will probably agree that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski offers sound advice:
…the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets.
When Jimmy Carter found himself in over his head, he devoted his attention to something he could manage — namely, determining who could use the White House tennis courts. If you put our two worst presidents on a modern-day Titanic, Carter would be working out the tennis court schedule while Obama watched hoops on TV and the rising water crept toward their chins.
We survived Carter. Maybe we'll survive this too.
On a tip from Viking04.

Carter wasn't this "productive". As my friend has said (as a last resort style of apologetics):
"He said he would bring 'Change', that's what we got..."

I love it. Obama threw Duke under the bus, so Coach K reciprocated. Good jab, Coach.
Sorry, but Van Helsing, you should know better. Not one Dem, especially these two, would have enough honor or “onions” do go down with the ship.
They would have been on the first lifeboat wearing dresses.

One slight correction, they would wear dresses, and suck on pacifiers, just to make it a good each way bet for the first seat in the first lifeboat.

Perhaps Barney Frankinsence and Chris Dudd could be up in the crow's nest and one of them shout "Ice-bugh, deh-ad ah-head!" Ah-ooga, Ah-ooga!
Timothy Tax Cheat could play Rose's uppity boyfriend and rearrange the deck chairs.
Rose (Nancy Pelousy) and Jack (Rahm Emmanuel)could um, "do it" in the back seat of the presidential limo in the cargo hold, and Helen Thomas and Arlen Spector could play that old couple who snuggle up together as the ship sinks.
Hillary could portray Molly Brown.
Chris Tweety Bird Matthews and Keith Dumberthandirt could portray the "Red Star" passenger liner execs. Bad thing is, one of them survives.
Big question: Will Captain O. stoically stand on the bridge and go down with the ship?
