34. Apparently he did. I thought he said most, but two people say differently, I'll agree with you |
|
I still think that was a great answer though.

23. After the last 8 years it feels weird to want to watch the President |
|
I always prided myself paying attention to what the President said and trying to catch all speeches that I could. Then came bu$h, I couldn't and eventually wouldn't watch or listen to anything he said.
What a relief, a President that can speak coherently with substance focused on the American people.

|
I always thought he was way too deferential to the last "pResident" and way too ignorant to Obama as a candidate, especially considering he was a US Senator at the time. I was pleasantly surprised at his tone today and I nearly started a thread about it.

Good idea! But when will we all admit that what the troops are doing over there actually has very little to do with what we are doing over here? This isn't WWII.

to those that may not have seen it. he didn't just come out and say it. matt was showing him an us weekly with his family on the cover but he was cropped out and replaced with jessica simpson and he was reading the cover and repeated the headline.

58. Look at how the transcript is different than what was said... |
|
Transcript: OBAMA: Yeah, who’s losing a weight battle apparently. (LAUGHTER) Yeah. Oh, well.
It's clear that what he actually said is "who's in a weight battle apparently"
The pathetic wingnuts are already on this, based on the erroneous transcription.

56. Because everyone wears a suit while they are throwing a Super Bowl party. |

I love that the Freepers are now fixated on his clothes. Perhaps they can transfer their zombie-like focus on where he was born to what clothes he wears - truly a focus on the critical issues of the day.
