1. I hope so.
:D But he said he met him before, so I doubt it. The Prez was on his game.

3. What an awesome performance it was.
But I did hear "Lutz", and it made me realize the resemblance. :)

:hi:

7. I hope so too.
They never seem to get Obama's name right. Osama, Obama, ya know. They just happen to misspeak quite often.

2. They're both doughy looking little chubby farts, huh?
Maybe Obama did confuse them. I could see how.

8. The 'putz' is clearly implicit in this case.
Lutz is lazy at work; Luntz promotes a lazy politics of tag lines and bumper stickers.

:thumbsup:

10. Do I care? He called Republicans out.
And he called Jeb "Jim." So what?

24. misspeaking a name
is often considered rude. It's also a great way to bring someone down a peg or two...you're so unimportant, I can't even remember your name. * took it to an artform and couldn't even be bothered to speak our language. Or of course, in the heat of the moment, anyone can mispronounce someone's name.

13. I just noticed that!
Of course, he wouldn't stoop to their level (as suggested in my post), but ferchrissakes, they kept using that stupid locution right to the President's face.

Not just rude, but feebly so.

17. Tweety said it's an old political trick to drive your opponents nuts
Call them by the wrong name. Earlier today, Tweety said that today he thought Obama called a Repuke House member Jim when his name is Jeb even after he was corrected. And Tweety thought it was done on purpose. Frankly, I think Obama would do that and since he can do it with a straight face - all the better!

20. I think you're onto something.
Obama is a basketball player, and basketball is about coming to terms with the fact that elbows are thrown, and you've got to take it into account in your game.

14. Shoulda called him Putz
and I'd send $100 to my local D candidate for the 2010 elections if he had.

I think his whole effort at the 'puke-fest today was just fantastic - I'm watching the 2nd running of it on MSNBC right now.....because my Friday nights lack punch, until this showing. He just rocked those dopes to their very core today.

25. I've heard it three times now, and
it really does sound like "Lutz".

Probably doesn't mean anything, but there it is.
