Selling

So Osama walks into this bar, see, and George Bush [now, Barack Obama] says, "What'l'ya have, pardner?" and Osama says, "Well George, what are you serving today?" and Bush says, "Fear," and Osama says, "Fear for everybody!" and George pours it on for the crowd. Then the presidential bartender says, "Hey, who's buying?" Osama points a thumb at the crowd sucking down their brew. "They are," he says--and the two of them share a quiet laugh."
