From the looks of things lately; a whole lotta folks don't think President Obama is aware of his Pre-Election Promises when he makes decisions as President.
Well, if you can picture HUMPHREY BOGART as the President & PETER LORRE as his Aide whose only job is to remind the President of what he promised on the 2008 Campaign Trail - this is how it would go in the Oval Office:
PETER LORRE: (singing)
"You must remember this
A pro-mise is a pro-mise
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by"
HUMPHREY BOGART: Peter, I thought I told you never to sing that song!
PETER LORRE: The Natives are restless, boss!
BOGART: Take a number! Nobody could actually do all of the Promises I made - but I figured I might as well throw them out there & if I come up short once in a while; they'll know I tried & my smile will blind them!
HUMPHREY BOGART POURS HIMSELF A SCOTCH & WATER.
BOGART: "Here's looking at you, Kid"!
PETER: Most people like your Signature Healthcare Bill; but others think you micro-managed it. They call it "Obamacare" & then sneer!
BOGART: Ou! "Round up the usual suspects"!
PETER: Don't you think you could've tweaked it a little more before you sent it out there?
BOGART: Well, I got a lot further than Hillary did!
PETER: She's doing what she was meant to do.
BOGART: Yes, but at what price? "Of all the Gin Joints, in all the towns, in all the world - she walks into mine"!
THERE'S A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. HILLARY CLINTON POKES HER HEAD IN & PETER LORRE EXCUSES HIMSELF.
HILLARY CLINTON: (as herself) "If it's December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York? My Watch stopped - I bet they're asleep in Chappaqua. I bet they're asleep all over America"!
BOGART: But the Secret Service are not asleep Hillary; so why have you come to my Tent?
HILLARY: You must think you're in one of those old "Ali Baba" movies - we're in this damn Moroccan movie - now get "on Script"! And besides, Michelle is in Africa.
BOGART: "I stick my neck out for nobody"!
HILLARY: When you got Osama; my nipples got hard!
BOGART: You better check that out - do you have "Medicare Plan A or B"?
BOGART: "Don't you sometimes wonder if it's worth all this; I mean what you're fighting for".
HILLARY: "Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time"!
BOGART: "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship".
HILLARY: You mean that's it?
BOGART: "We'll always have Paris"!
