The Trillion Dollar Man

Lee Majors was the $6 Million Dollar Man . A-Rod was on his way to being the first Billion Dollar man before he turned into A-Fraud. Michael Phelps may yet get the title, drunk driving and bong hits notwithstanding.

With economic doom hanging over the free world, President Obama has bravely grabbed the mantle of Trillion Dollar Man.

The Bush era pirates blew a hole in the side of the Treasury and wasted hundreds of billions with their Friends and Family Plan. No wait, that's cell phones. The Bush Administration invented the TARP, an acronym for the Taxpayer A-- Rape Plan. Next came the competing warlord gangs, the Harry Senators on one side and the Pelosicrats on the other, to fight over who gets to loot the leftovers.

Into this aftermath steps President Obama, Transcendent Hero and our first Trillion Dollar Man. He shrewdly hammered out a Solomonic House-Senate compromise that split the difference by giving both sides everything they wanted, to the tune of a trillion dollars.

And now, (No, I didn't clip this from The Onion) he's shifting his concern to the budget deficit...
