Barack Obama Upstaged by Scurrying Rodent !

If President Obama thought he heard a squeak of dissent as he announced tough new banking regulations he may have been right.

But it was a small rodent rather than a Wall Street fat cat who nearly upstaged the Commander-in-Chief as he spoke in the Rose Garden yesterday.

The creature no one is quite sure whether it was a rat or mouse, or possibly a vole broke for cover from a set of bushes to Mr Obamas right, passed directly in front of the presidential podium, and then disappeared into another set of bushes on his left.

Last week, as camera crews set up for Mr Obamas statement on the Gulf oil spill, whats believed to have been the same rodent made another dash across the famous garden.

The critter would do well to avoid a secound encounter with the President.

In June of last year Mr Obama displayed what were widely described as ninja skills when he swatted a fly that interrupted an interview he was doing with CNBC.
It is not clear whether the President, who claims to look only to the future, saw the animal, but if he did he showed no reaction.

How RIDICULOUS that this would even get a second of air time!  The news reporters really have nothing better to talk about?

[FinalMythology]

I would tell the security team to grab it and kill it. Could have been a freakin IED man.

BREAKING NEWS

is this a rat, a mole or a mouse!?

oh and thousands of people died in Japan but that's not important, WE MUST FIND OUT WHAT RODENT THAT WAS!

It was probably Justin Bieber trying to get some TV time because his shitty mainstream auto-tune music isn't selling.

they were far too amused by the stupid and corny secret service mole bullshit and the one i didn't get about lady moles. there was a sudden and lengthy outbreak of loud stupid laughter from everyone except the one who fakes laughing with a look on his face like he's the last sane man on the planet. at least al rocer isn't an incompetent total fucking dipshit with the sense of humor a toddler. the rest of those fucking idiots need to go away and never open there dumb fucking mouths again
