Top 10 issues above Barack Obama’s Pay Grade

So you have most likely heard by now about Mr. Obama’s answer to Rick Warren regarding the beginning of life. If not here is what was said:

Rick Warren: “…at what point does a baby get human rights in your view?”
Barack Obama: “Well, I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade…”

Wow, can you say cop out? So, that got me thinking, how many other topics might Barack “plead the 5th on” as president? So, I have compiled a Top 10 list of things that just might be above Mr. Obama’s Pay Grade as the Leader of the most powerful country in the world.

10. “My fellow Americans, please stop worrying about inflations and rising interest rates. From the White House, it all looks fine to me.”

9. “What do you mean Al Qaeda has infiltrated Iraq? Not my Problem.”

8. “You mean I was supposed to do something to stop Social Security from
going bankrupt? OOPS! Come on, it’s been there forever.”

7. “Check this out, Time Magazine Man of the Year! See, I told you that all I had to do was smile and say lots of nothing and everything would be OK.”

6. “Wait, you mean we have more than 1 border?”

5. “No honey, it is way to hard for me to decide between the Blue tie and the
Red one! You Choose!”

4. “Woo Hoo, Pizza man is here! Meeting adjourned. You Joint Chief dudes hang here and work this whole war stuff out. I’ll bring you the leftovers.”

3. “Gentlemen, I’m glad you are so into this balanced budget thing, but I have a lunch date with Oprah, later!”

2. “La La La (fingers in ear), I can’t hear you talking about Oil Supplies being critically low! I love Caribou, they are so Majestic!”

1. “AcmadenaWHO? Tell him I’m busy! I’m instant messaging with Wolf Blitzer and Keith Olberman! Sheesh, the gall!

That’s my 2.5 cents. And it is well within my pay grade!

A Charger Fan's "Ode to Ed Hochuli"

Oh Ed, Dear Ed,
It seems you are quite the man!
But Ed, Dear Ed,
On Sunday you lost your head.

Oh NO Mr. Ed, Oh NO,
Don’t blow the whistle yet,
Cutler, yes Cutler just now lost the ball,
Don’t make a call you’ll regret.

NO Ed, Are you kidding Ed?
A Fumble it was just now.
Well Ed, Dear Ed,
You’ve killed the Bolts with a POW!

Thanks Ed, Dear Ed,
For admitting you did bad.
But ED, Dear ED,
The Chargers were who was had!

OH ED, Dear ED,
Should I give you a break?
Well Ed, Dear Ed,
It’s too hard for me to fake.

So Ed, Dear Ed,
I hope you have a good day.
Oh Ed, Dear Ed,
While the Bolts win the Super Bowl anyway.

That’s my 2.5 cents. My apologies to real Poets everywhere!
PS - This was written in jest as a response to some friends who have been hard on this lone Virginia Charger fan (it seems). I understand that mistakes happen and Ed is a great official, not to mention the fact that he could crush me with his Biceps.

To all the Charger Fans who have sent Mr. Hochuli hate mail and threats, please leave and go be a Raider Fan!
