The Official List
Accept no substitutes.

It is legendary, inspiring Chris Muir (see above) and cited by Jules Crittenden, Glenn Reynolds and Michelle Malkin.

It has even been imitated by the New York Post.

1. $787 billion for a 6.1% shrinkage of the U.S. economy. Hope. Change. Panic.
2. Not fighting the release of CIA photos. Al-Qaida smiles.
3. The Bow
4. Saying it is not a bow.
5. Saying he looked forward to working with “president” Jacques Chirac – 2 years after Chirac left office. The White House said, oh, that was in reference to Chirac being head of a foundation…6. Saying there’s no pork in the stimulus. Yes there is.
