Go and read this:

The Only 10 Ways the Obama Express will get Derailed

Well, it looks like Obama finds himself waist deep in yet another controversy. But, considering the media and public’s reaction thus far it would seem as if the Teflon Man will be able to wiggle his way out of this one too because nothing seems to stick to this guy.

Didn’t they call Reagan the “Teflon Don”? I’m thinking Obama is a whole lot slippery than that, but I might be wrong. Doubt it, but maybe.

A correction:  Reagan wasn’t called the Teflon Don, although he had been referred to as the Teflon President.

Thanks Fred.  :)

So, go read the whole thing, K?

    Kate, you REALLY need to check your facts better, Reagan was a good, decent and honest man!!

    John Joseph Gotti, Jr. (October 27, 1940 – June 10, 2002), commonly known by the media as “The Dapper Don” and “The Teflon Don” after the murder of his former boss Paul Castellano, was the boss of the well known Gambino crime family, one of the Five Families in New York City.
