And these two guys are running our country?

Joe asks for 6 months of retraining for 'Cattle Guards'!



 

 For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area.  For some reason the cattle will not step on the 'guards', probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.(People in the south also know what cattle guards are.)
 
A few months ago, President Obama received and
was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle
guards in Colorado ..  The Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the cattle guards immediately!

Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten President Obama
out on the matter, Vice-President Joe Biden intervened with a request that...before any cattle guards were fired,
they be given six months of retraining for Arizona border guards.  "Times are hard", said Joe Biden, "it's only
fair to the cattle guards and their families!"

This haox, orignially intended as a joke, has been around since 1995 and has been used by many against most in office since then.
