Four years of college and I end up handling my boss' balls while he plays dodgeball with the healthcare system.
Man, I didn't know i had to have balls this big, to be the Presidential Aide, I can only imagine what my boss has.
This is the worst pogo stick ever!
The beer summit didn't work so now he wants to play HORSE
" Now you two listen hear, be nice and let Barack win this time!"
I am just proving that I am a team player.....Or a big suck up

Man he didn't need this many balls during the election......
We are gonna need a lotta balls to get through this health care thing!
I wonder if the president really thinks that healthcare reform critics will agree to a dodgeball tournament with these?
I hope President Obama is right in thinking healthcare reform critics will really believe that these are just dodgeballs.

There is a line on the Butler's job description that reads "Perform Other Duties as Required". One has to wonder whatelse there is.
What does President Obama and a baby have in common? They both dribble.
I love my job, I love my job, I love my job...
So......... now we know where Obama gets his balls.
Phila PA
President Obama will need a lot of balls to win the health care debate.
He's got the butler airing up balls?!?!
I wonder what bathroom concierges' job duties entail?
Hopefully this basketball tournament will help Obama pass the health care bill.
Obama's new idea of bumping the economy.
Geez, ...I hope I get to be on Obama's team this time. I mean, Biden's cool and all, but there's only so much a man can do.
Gettin' ready for another Town Hall Slam Dunk!
" More balls for Obama's health care Ball game"

Just a box full of balls left to inflate. I wounder what he is going to have me inflate next? His ego? No, I think that one is inflated enough.
Just some more HOT Air
If Sarah Palin would send me some hot air I sure could fill these alot faster!
dang this is the only job not out sourced over seas yet.
So that's where Obama's balls went.
"Hmm...I think my right one is bigger than my left."
hmm.....I wonder if this can help us inflate out health care plan?!?
The White House proves once again , that when it comes to inflation, this administration has got some balls!
The White House proves once again , that when it comes to inflation, this administration has balls!
They keep busting my balloon' so maybe this will be tougher to do.
So does this mean I don't have to play Barbies with Sasha and Malia anymore?
And Limbaugh said the prez didn't have a set of balls
I guess every administration has its hot air.
I am glad my Harvard education comes in handy.
I can't live without those basketballs.
With all the money going to healthcare, the White House was unable to spring for an electric pump!
Vo Everett thinking... "Not even the President should be allowed to go out to play until he finishes his homework, and gets it proof read!!!"
Even the official 'White House' balls can deflate....Poor man has quite a task.

Give them just enough air. Overinflation gives them too much spring and underinflation makes them feel ba-rock.
The man should join a circus with this many balls in the air!
These need to be pumped up again? Seems like the blue dogs are sucking the air out of more than just the health care bill.
"Hope these don't blow up like his commentary on the professor gates arrest."
i cant belive they pay me 100,000 a year just to pump up these balls man i love my job
Too many comments sent ot my e-mail. Let's blow them away.
It's really easy to get pumped up around here!!
