Obamas Pal Around With Gigantic Bunnies, Birds And Dinosaurs (PHOTOS)

The First Family played host to the 134th annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, launching throngs of children racing across the South Lawn with wooden spoons and eggs.

President Obama kicked off the event flanked by a massive droopy-eyed Easter Bunny, continuing a White House tradition of inviting the oversized rodents to take part in the day's festivities.

For the Obamas, however, it's just the latest encounter with some very plush pals.

OK that picture is just creepy. But I'm sure there are some furry fetish people who are having fun with it.

Only 27% of Americans have at least a bachelor's degree. It is sad Obama has to take time out of his busy schedule and cater to the lowest common denominator (the other 73%) like this in order to get reelected rather than devoting his time entirely to much more important things.

I believe that by ” the other 73%” you mean the short little ones carrying colorful baskets and chasing eggs across the lawn with a spoon? They don't actually vote in federal elections.

Oh God, don't let Sarah see this ! She'll be asking for the Rabbit's Birth Certificate, making sure he's not giving out "Radically colored Easter eggs", and hasn't, the whole time Obama's been "Pallin around" with him.

To date, House Republicans have passed 27 bipartisan jobs bills that are currently sitting in the Senate awaiting action. President Obama and Congressional Democrats continue to talk about bipartisan action to grow the economy, while the House of Representatives is acting to help small businesses and families.

When asked why small businesses aren't creating jobs, The restrictive regulations being imposed by the Obama Administration which are simply killing jobs.

The California Energy Commission is reporting a new record high price for unleaded regular gas sold in California for the week starting Monday March 5, 2012. The price soared to $4.36 per gallon which is 233% higher than the $1.87 a gallon it was when President Barack Hussein Obama, first took office in 2009.

To be fair about it, this is one campaign promise Barack Obama has kept. When he was campaigning in 2008 he told us he was "happy gas prices are going up because it will force us to invest in mass transportation!"

See for yourself...

OMG! Sarah, did you hear that? Our President is paling around with gigantic rabbits, angry birds,
dinosaurs, what are we going to do about this? This radical paling around with such things. What is this country going to do about this. Pray, get our guns out, ask them to show their birth certificates. Prove that they are not an "other". Pass a law to send it to the Supreme Court. What are we to do about this? Oh, I know, welcome the young kids and their families to the White House for Easter. How radical of him to do that!!!!!!! Did he invite Big-Bird?

The Easter Bunny is a terrorist; after the photo was taken Obama gave him the secret handshake.
