Obama is a post turtle

This is what I was trying to say about the video (from my blog post
on what has obama accomplished. I just used more words with less clarity
than the old rancher.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher
whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up
a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to
Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a post turtle. 'Not
being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle' was.
The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you
come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post
turtle.'

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he
continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't
belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you
just wonder what kind of  dumb asses put him up there to begin with.
