Fire The Cattle Guards

For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For some reason the cattle will not step on the "guards," probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.

A few months ago, President Obama received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado. Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the “cattle” guards immediately!!

Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten him out, Vice-President, Joe Biden, intervened with a request that…. before any “cattle” guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining.

Oh, come on, Walking Eagle. This one is false, too.

These stories are very typical of Otis....throw out a bunch of lies about Obama that no one but the gullible right wing nuts would believe. Amusing to watch but gets tiresome after awhile. Every board needs a "court jester" troll...Otis is ours.

You mean, "Walking Eagle," don't you?

Its a joke. Even snopes gets that. Look what it is filed under.

The first time I heard it, it was about Clinton, the next time was Bush. In fact, Bush was the butt of the same joke when he was running for Congress in 1978. He lost.

It's a funny joke and interchangeable, depending on who is in office.

Do we have a photo of Obama looking intently through binoculars with the lens caps still on? We've seen a few Presidents in that photo.

Old classic. Have also seen versions with Nancy Pelosi and Pat Schroeder.

Otis doesn't get that....or he would have posted this in The Fun House.
