In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has issued a new flavor, Barocky Road.
Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes.
The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.
The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow. The cost is $100 per scoop.
When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you. Thus you are left with an empty wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any ice cream.

“Alright everybody. AIG, Bank of America, Citigroup, First National, Lone Star. Whaddya want, one, two, $300 billion? Come on over! I’m your candy man.” See all of the lyrics in the extended entry.

Who can fix the mortgage?

General Motors, too

A bailout check for me

And a bailout check for you

Obama Man. Yes, Obama Man can

Obama Man can ’cause he mixes it with hope

And makes the world taste good

Who can give ya health care?

Who can save the poor?

Who can pick the teams

That are in the Final Four?

Obama Man. Yes, Obama Man can

Obama Man can ’cause he mixes it with hope

And makes the world feel good

Obama man takes problems

And he makes ‘em into cream and peaches

With sugar-coated, smooth-tongued speeches

I hope he practices what he preaches

Who can take tomorrow

Spend it all today?

Who can take your incomes

And tax it all away?

Obama Man. Yes, Obama Man can

Obama Man can ’cause he mixes it with hope

And makes the world feel good

Yes, Obama Man takes

Every speech he makes

Gives it a whole bunch of thinkin’

When Michelle Obama’s winkin’

Then he runs it by Abe Lincoln

Who can buy an iPod

Give it to the queen?

Who can take a cut of me

And turn it into green?

Obama Man. Yes, Obama Man can

Obama Man, Obama Man, Obama Man

Hey Chrysler, GM — you want some money?

Ford, you want some? No, you don’t?

OK, good. More for GM

God bless this mess, everybody

Obama Man can

In my impression , black men r pure and honest , and I am also happy US get a black president.But I am very disappointed now ,cause his policy show his shortsighted and foxy ,maybe it may benefit American government ,but it does harm us severely,we lent him billions of money,he give us wastepaper in return…I don't know what kind of person he is …but I know a point now…white or black ,as long as they are politician ,they suck!!!

I think the inauguration of Obama was veri luxurious. I think he has suffered in his life during his infancy so he will care for the poor more than Bush let wait and see his actions to create a state of Palestine, his politics towards Iran and after will judge
