Barack Obama is…That Guy

Karl Rove recently had this to say about Barack Obama:

"Even if you never met him, you know this guy," Rove said, per Christianne Klein. "He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by."

And, here's what Rove said about Obama in London back in April:

"You have probably seen this kind of guy at London parties, trailing ash from a fashionable cigarette into the carpet and making snide remarks about someone 'being an abominable bore'," Mr Rove said.

See how The Architect changes the statement to fit his audience? He never misses an opportunity to put forth a targeted talking point. That's why Rove also has these quips about Obama in his back pocket, so he's always ready, no matter who he's talking to:

* To Log Cabin Republicans: "He's the guy who doesn't have Hannity & Colmes, Joe Scarborough and America's Top Model on his TiVo queue."

* To the fishing lobby: "He's the guy who asks why it isn't easier to ground up all the worms into a paste and just eat that."

* To Concerned Women for America: "He's the guy who insists on equal pay for equal work and access to reproductive health services for poor women, and probably thinks Phyllis Schlafly is a type of mantid."

* To the oil and gas lobby: "He's the guy who says he's there to inspect the rig, but drinks all the oil instead."

* To the Association for Republicans Who Like to Have Oral Sex on Top of Mt. Rainier Dressed as a Gopher While a Patriotic Macaque Watches: "He's the guy who wouldn't have oral sex on top of Mt. Rainier dressed as a gopher while a patriotic macaque watches."
