I modified Ronald Reagan’s original quote.
Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Obama loses his.
You might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged young man who shot President Reagan in the early 1980’s.
Hinckley was absolutely obsessed with movie star Jodie Foster, extremely jealous, and in his twisted mind, loved Jodie Foster to the point that to make himself well known to her, he attempted to assassinate President Reagan.
There is speculation Hinckley may soon be released as having been rehabilitated. Consequently, you may appreciate the following letter from Nancy Reagan to the staff at the mental facility treating Hinckley.
To: John Hinckley
From: Mrs. Nancy ReaganMy family and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how pleased we are with the great strides you are making in your recovery. In our fine country’s spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want you to know there is a nonpartisan consensus of compassion and forgiveness throughout.
The Reagan family and I want you to know that no grudge is borne against you for shooting President Reagan. We, above all, are aware of how the mental stress and pain could have driven you to such an act of desperation. We are confident that you will soon make a complete recovery and return to your family to join the world again as a healthy and productive young man.
Best wishes,
Nancy Reagan & FamilyP.S. While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado. You might want to look into that.
A guy traveling through Mexico on vacation lost his wallet and all of his identification. Cutting his trip short, he attempted to make his way home but was stopped by the U.S. Customs Agent at the border. “May I see your identification, please?” asked the agent. “I’m sorry, but I lost my wallet,” replied the guy. “Sure buddy, I hear that every day. No ID, no entry,” said the agent. “But I can prove I’m an American!” he exclaimed. “I have a picture of Ronald Reagan tattooed on one side of my butt and George Bush on the other.” “This I gotta see,” replied the agent. With that, the guy dropped his pants and showed the agent his behind. “By golly, you’re right!” exclaimed the agent. “Have a safe trip back to Chicago.” “Thanks!” he said. “But how did you know I was from Chicago?” The agent replied, “I recognized Obama in the middle.”
