The 'liberal' media: Obama is talking about Wall St reform... OMG, a rodent!!!111!!!

In the midst of his battle with the titans of Wall Street, President Barack Obama was nearly upstaged by a rodent. Obama had just begun a Rose Garden statement lauding the end of a Senate filibuster on his financial overhaul when some kind of rodent dashed out of the bushes to his right, just outside the Oval Office.

As photographers snapped away in the sun-drenched garden, the critter scurried straight past the gray podium with the presidential seal and made a bee-line for another set of bushes to Obama's left.

It's not clear if the president could even see the streaker, but he didn't show any reaction. And he concluded his statement minutes later, returning to his office without answering a few shouted questions on other topics.

Once he was safely inside the Oval Office, a fierce debate erupted among the photographers and reporters who'd witnessed the dash. Was it a rat or a mouse? Or maybe a mole, or some other kind of related creature.

Alright everyone, what's your guess as to the ratio of stories about the rodent and the Salahis vs actual stories (Like Wall St Reform) that will be on the 'liberal' media and Fox News?

I'm thinking 3.75:1.

Who let that asshole in?

Though considering the big pile of cowardly fail the Senate just hoisted on America- perhaps the rat was an appropriate sign.

He was on his way to Wall Street to pick up his check. :puke:

There's another "shiny object" there to take all the significance out of the proceedings.

I wouldn't be surprised if Boehner's staff was found to have released 100 rats on the WH lawn right before Obama's speech.

Didn't they stop using chemicals on the white house grounds..

It didn't move like rodents do.

Did Salvador Dali slip acid into my granola?

Alert Summers and Geithner. The President is doing some shit!
