Aren’t you tired of getting poached?
Does the President have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil? The answer to that question is no!

Liberty for wolves is death to you chickens.
How do you like your eggs? Sunny-side-up, over easy, scrambled, poached, hardboiled, or hatched?

Don’t worry; I’m a vegetarian now. I just eat the unborn.

This is the egg the Chicken-in-Chief laid when he ran around crying wolf..
More nest eggs… or I will have to eat you!
Sorry guys, we missed our deadline and had to cut the pre-k program. However, we think we figured out a work-around so the impact won’t be that noticeable!

” You’ve got it wrong !!-You can’t make an OMLET without breaking a few eggs !!”
Your eggs, our recipe – if we had a recipe.
Obama told me you’re not eggs-actly paying your fair share, so who’s willing to toss in a wing and a leg?
I know I said I would protect your interests when you put me in charge, but sacrifices have to be made if my friends and I are going to thrive.
Hey, don’t worry – we’re just playing chicken…
Sequester, shmequester! You just keep making eggs and I’ll keep taking good care of them.
Chicken Little, you lied! The sky didn’t fall.
The game of playing chicken is finally over. You are no longer needed.
Due to recent budget cuts, I expect you all to have double yolks from now on.
You see, it’s just like Ham and Eggs–The chicken’s obligated, the Pig’s commited”
Sure entitlements are free…. to you. But it’s gonna cost your children big time!
Sequester side up anyone?
You’re next, my little chickadees! You’re a banquet for the eyes.
So much for your retirement nest eggs.
What are you implying? I see no problem with me watching the hen house.

I’m the preverbial fox in the henhouse you’ve herd talk of.

is worth two in the Coop
What!? You expected me to educate your children? Wasn’t it obvious when you voted that I was a wolf?
Welcome, come into our home and let me take care of you! Isn’t this what you voted for?
You all need to brighten up and stop voting for the hand that DOESN’T feed you.
I know you little chickens voted for me to represent you but now that the election is over I can’t take my hands out of your pockets!
Don’t worry; everything’s fine. Now if a few of you would go to the store for me, I need salt, pepper, butter and a few barrels of pork.
