I suppose the downside of having a squirrel as POTUS would be that it is always displaying its rear end to the cameras.

For those who’d prefer a 1min version (without Rober): I can’t find the age of this Carling Black Label ad but it’s at least 13 years old.

At least it didn’t have to really drink Carling Black Label.
Do owls eat squirrels, I always wondered that when I saw that ad.

That’s better than I could ever do, but I was expecting more from a former NASA engineer. He could have put mirrors in the maze to totally freak them out. And any obstacle that’s too easy should be replaced with a new obstacle, post haste.
