Pledge to be a servant to Obama?

Oh certainly -- on bended knee.

What a joke, Barack, Biden, Pelosi, Ried, Barney, Ted, Al, Bill, Hillary, that stupid chick from Florida, Howard Dean and Al Franken.

Who couldn't bow their heads when in the midst of such brightness?

The gimmee crowd really did it this time.

ROFL!!
As I am watching this video of all these 'celebs' promising not to flush the toilet as much and start driving a Prius, what sight should greet my eyes but heavyweight thug MIKE TYSON! Good Lord! I do not even want to venture a guess as to what it is that he is going to do to serve Obama, maybe he can become a member of the Imperial Secret Police or something. Who are these people and who cares what thoughts emanate from their primitive brains ? They are either in jail or rehab most of the time anyhow. The only posslbly meaningful thing they could have done was pledge to quit using drugs and getting drunk all the time but I notice none of them were willing to give up that.

Mr. T might volunteer to help little old ladies cross the street.

I would pity the fool who'd stand in the way.

Oh, I see. It went out the window. (Darned window! An awful lot of conservative reich supposed principles seem to be slipping right out of it in the wake of, well, losing.)
I have no king and I don't rely on the government to take care of me except for the services like police and fire which is why I pay taxes.

Taxpayers don't see a government "taking care of them" -- we aren't getting anything we didn't pay for -- in folds.

LOL....
So of course they won't be volunteers but extremely expensive lazy workers. You'll be lucky if they even show up for work and don't call in sick every chance they get.

A little Freudian slip there.

Erm, I'm not sure what you're getting at here. That's what I pay taxes for, too. And what I've paid them for (without the endless whining) for going on 24 years now.

So your point is...?
