Anyone watch Obama’s speech last night? So was he like, “I’m going to spend trillions of dollars on wacky crazy crap and you can’t stop me. Plus, I’m not going to let you watch TV; instead you have to watch me! Ha ha ha ha!” Jokes on him; I was watching 24 off of Hulu.
Or did he apologize for being a screw up? “I’m sorry! I have no idea what I’m doing! I just wanted this job to pad my resume! This is just too much for me and I keep messing everything up! I even put my shirt on backwards this morning! Please, someone tell me what to do! Anything; I’ll do it! I’m desperate!”
And did the press ask him any good questions? Or was it just things like, “What’s your favorite color?”, “Why is everyone so mean to you?”, and “How many fingers am I holding up?” (to check if he’s punch drunk).
These just never are very interesting. Maybe in the next one he could do a billion dollar giveaway to whoever watches. The money would just be a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the stimulus, and he could always tax the winners at 90% and get most of it back anyway.
I only heard one good question. Some guy asked about why we aren’t researching adult stem cells since they have shown far more promise than embryonic. Needless to say Obama side-stepped the question.
Watching Obama is like watching Olbermann, Frank. The shear amount of revulsion it causes is unbearable.
I didn’t watch. Instead, I requested a copy of the teleprompter to be sent to my cell phone via text message. Still waiting for it…. 🙁
I didn’t watch, but I will try to get the highlights from the Obama volunteers in the parking lot at the mall.
Seriously, what kind of guy hires volunteers to spread grassroots support for his programs, when his party controls both houses of congress? Is the only thing he knows how to do is run for office?
I can guess at a few things though.
We are going to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to buy up worthless investments, while requiring the private sector to spend hundreds of billions of dollars more on those same investments, when they don’t want to.
We will pay for this by cutting tens of billions of dollars from the military, and by putting pay caps on the only people who are paying income tax.

I didn’t watch it but The best hing I heard was that the President un knowingly endorsed a flat tax. Maybe I’ll get off my butt and become a millionaire now.

The people from A Clockwork Orange weren’t able to get me into the restraining chair, so no, I didn’t watch the Lying-Douchebag-in-Chief.
Flipped back and forth between Obama and Good Eats for the first few minutes. Alton was talking about honey production last night. I ended up watching Alton….I think there is some irony in there somewhere, with the bees and all.
With or without the teleprompter his speech was painfully boring. He just kept saying the same crap he’s been saying. Beating one’s head into a brick wall would yeild the same results as an Obama speech.
Lord, NO I didn’t watch it. We flipped around the channels and, (not intended but still) ironically, ended up watching The Biggest Loser. It was FAR more entertaining.
Yes, I heard that there was a 3-hour, 2 episode biggest loser mini-marathon on last night. I think my wife taped the second episode.
Thank God the press was there to ask the tough questions…umm…well, okay…never mind.
As I said yesterday, didn’t plan to watch it, didn’t watch it, didn’t even watch any highlights. Seriously. I’ve been voting for the past 25 years and never before has a WH occupant totally creeped me out; I have to change the channel whenever PEBO is on.
It’s not racial either, because I could listen to Zo and look at Denzel (and vice versa) 24+ hours a day.
#10, I thought “The Biggest Loser” WAS the title of PresBO’s TV adventures?
I watched re-runs of the paint drying. It was far more intelligent and interesting than anything *forbidden* boy had to say.
OK, I’ve been struggling with an ear infection. When hubby got home, the fever was at 104, so hubby hustled me to bed and turned on the tv. Somehow, he just KNEW I’d want to watch BO, so he flipped it on and left me there, silently screaming, rofl. Slept right though it. Aaah well…

Jimmy Carter and Barack have alot of things in common. like the fact that Carter use to ask his daughter Amy for answers to America’s problems, and now Barack ask TOTUS for answers to America’s problems.
Didn’t you know? TOTUS is his new dog.
It was worthless. just get the copy of what he said that was on the Teleprompter- it doesn’t have all the Uhhs.
Wow what a night. I played a drinking game, taking a drink every time he said uh, or um, or what was the other one? damn I can’t remember, I just woke up.
