According to witnesses, Biden’s demeanor changed instantly, and he turned and asked the child’s teacher, “who the little smart a**was.” Before the teacher could respond however, he turned back to the assembled group of second graders and announced that he would not take anymore questions from a bunch of junior smart a**es, and then headed for the door. As he stomped out of the classroom, witnesses noted that they heard him mumbling something about frozen custard. <<DEVELOPING>>

Obama Caught Referring to Biden as “Fredo”
HM Press – After his speech on immigration, Obama was caught by a hot mike asking one of his staffers where Fredo was.

Chuck, you continue to blur the line between reality and satire.
Actually, I am surprised that you have not yet been drafted as a reporter for the “New York Times”, “Washington Post”, or AP. Damned it I can tell much difference between the “HM Press” and many of the details presented by those other noteworthy sources.
Thanks for stopping by as usual Maine. It is true that one really does not have to work too hard to come up with this stuff. You can pretty much listen to one news cycle and come up with more satire than there is time to write.
The line seems to blur itself…it needs no help from me.
Thanks as always for your insight. I plan to stop by your place tomorrow and catch up.
Chuck
Maine has hit the nail on the head several times over and I am in full agreement! Entertaining, interesting and informative — for those who keep up with what goes on around us, as well as for those who don’t…
