"I was just listening to Obama on whatever cable channel. I just think he sounds as phony as a $3 bill."
It probably has to do with the reality of him always speaking in generalities. He doesn't commit to anything specific, and so far, it's worked well for him.
But getting back to the $3 bill. Remember when they were finally willing to admit that Ronald Reagan was dead, and all of those Republcan Congress people wanted to print a new $10 bill and put Ronald Reagan's picture on it? And then John Conyers stood up in the House and suggested they put him on the $3 bill, where the phony son-of-a-bitch belonged? I never heard anything more about it after that.
