"Obama Kicks Off 'Whistle-Stop' Tour"

Damned silly Americans. 

What's he traveling to Washington by train for?  And hasn't he already been in town for weeks?  Do you mean to tell me that he went to Washington only to leave Washington so that he could ride back to Washington on a train? 

Well that certainly makes all the sense in the world.  In a time when those bloody colonists are making such a fuss about the price of petrol for their oversized motors, their dear leader is making useless trips about by train. 

Even Her Majesty travels about by plane, and a commercial one too, and no mistake. 

The purpose of this "whistle-stop tour" is to appeal to Americans to persevere, so says the Wall St Journal.  Couldn't he tell me that on Tuesday when countless millions will be hanging on his every word even as icicles hang from their very noses.

I tell you George Bush won't be getting a whistle-stop tour once he's packed his bags.  Schlepping back to Texas under cover of darkness, more like.  Good for him.  He deserves a nice quiet retirement.  Atleast he'll have done with that lot the White House Press Corps.  He could never put a foot right by them.  Let them have a go at Mr President Obama.
