Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked very hard. Apparently it was pampered by various owners over the years. It doesn't work very often, but when it does it can really spread the manure and sling it for amazing distances. I am hoping to retire this manure spreader next November. But I really don't want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer that is willing to relocate this manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade this manure spreader for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution.

Before someone takes offense, I'm sure something similar could also be written about pretty much every other president so don't get your thongs in a wad.

Would have been funny if he didn't include that insanely moronic birther bullshit.

I'm all for political jokes but this dude obviously doesn't understand how to use a metaphor in humor. Who would smuggle a manure spreader across countries? Can manure spreaders even have a "questionable pedigree"? And why does it matter if it is a foreign buyer? The lines need to make sense for both a manure spreader and Obama otherwise the metaphor doesn't work. The choice of a manure spreader isn't even very good because Obama isn't usually accused of simply spreading already existing shit, he is accused of creating it in the first place. This actually would have been instantly funnier if you exchange the word "manure spreader" for "donkey" or "ass". I actually hate breaking down humor but this joke was a failed effort.
