So #2 thinks he can get Obama all in a huff over a few old-fashioned racial slurs. Obama has had to endure worse than that very recently from Americans, everyone from everyday ignorant racists to talk radio hosts to members and so-called members of his own party {like Ms. "inadequate black male"}.
That guy might be Number 2, but I'll tell you what. He does not have Obama's number, and he doesn't know where his goat is tied either.
I can't completely escape from the hillbilly slang. Growing up, when someone said "I got your goat" you would respond "You don't even know where he's tied."
ReplyDeleteI don't even know if people tie up goats. I would fence in my goat, if I had one, and I wouldn't tell you where his fence was. ;-)
I wonder about the origin of that expression.
