STATE OF THE PUN-ION

Dear Pun Gents, I’d like a pun in response to President Obama’s State of the Union speech. ~Adam, Plymouth, MA (long-time fan)

AS THE PUN GENTS SEE IT:

  1. The President really dropped Obama last night.
  2. There was a lot of security in Washington for the speech. They emptied all the Baracks.
  3. He promises action on Steve Jobs - and with the iPad, he’s delivered!
  4. Why is he threatening to punish Banksy?
  5. He’s repealing ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ Finally he has his gaze on the military!
  6. Another foreign policy blunder: a tax credit for Somali business?
