Barack Obama stepped up his “A” game when he told an audience at a town hall meeting he would “take up arms myself to prevent another 9/11 from happening.” To prove his point, Obama pulled out a rifle from behind the podium, aimed at a vaguely Middle Eastern-looking member of the crowd and shot him between the eyes. “See? Democrats can be reckless cowboys too!” he hollered as the room erupted in a standing ovation.
Obama’s new hardcore approach to politicking has to be making the leading Republican contenders nervous. The best Romney can do is telling reporters he’s hunted “varmits” a few times in his life, while Giuliani has had a lot of ’splaining to do to the National Rifle Association for his anti-gun sentiments earlier in his career (of course, almost being whacked by the New York Mafia restores some of that credibility).
Still, if Obama somehow makes it to the White House, what better implicit endorsement of the NRA than a president who’s already signaled he’ll shoot the motherfuckers himself? Nothing will help their post-Virginia Tech public image like a live-broadcast hunting party deep in the mountainous regions of Pakistan led by President Obama.
