Here's how we in Texas view of the vanity of the current POTUS:

A cowboy from Texas attends a social function where Barack Obama is trying to gather more support for his Health Plan.

Once the President discovers the cowboy is from former-President Bush's home area, he starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and
using mono-syllabic words.

As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.

The cowboy asks, "Y'all havin' a problem with them circle flies?

Obama stopped talking and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they're called, but I've never heard of circle flies."

"Well, sir," the cowboy replies, "circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse or livestock."

"Oh," Obama replies as he goes back to rambling. But, a moment later he stops and bluntly asks, "Are you calling me a horse's butt?"

"No, sir," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their President a horse's butt."

"That's a good thing," Obama responds and begins rambling on once more.

After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to fool them flies, though . . .."


And so it goes...
