This is the ABSOLUTELY best line with the best delivery of damned near any president.

[Stinky The Clown]

The money line is, after the perfect pause, "No".

The only line that comes to mind that might be a topper is Jack Kennedy saying he is the one who escorted Jackie to Europe.

1. I like it when he tells it like it is. And what he said is true! n/t

[samplegirl]

2. It was great and he needs to start speaking his mind

more often!!!

[sarge43]

3. "They can't drive."

Bring it, Mr President.

[baldguy]

10. Obama still doesn't have the political courage to tell the whole truth.

The economic catastrophe we're in the middle of today is no accident - Republicans know how to drive. The GOP drove the car into the ditch on purpose! And, if they get those keys back they have every intention of doing it again!

[The_Commonist]

16. Exactly...

This isn't an economic catastrophe, it's a well planned rip off.

[Mojeoux]

4. "No."

You can't drive!

I love this guy.
I write them everyday and protest DADT and other issues,
but this man is a jewel!

[merci_me]

5. Thanks, you just saved me a search

I've been waiting for a major electrical storm to pass so I could turn my computer back on and find this very clip. I stopped by here first and lo and behold.....ya done good, Stinky!

Waiting for the t-shirts and bumper stickers!

[depakid]

6. I think he blew a line:

"pull it out" not "pull it back"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. His timing is perfect.

I :rofl: at that one.

[LakeSamish706]

8. Yep, I gotta say I love him in that video.... Absolutely bang on. Now Mr. President

please stay that course and spank the shit out of these Republicans like I know you can.

[malaise]

9. Freaking perfect

Rec

[nradisic]

11. Priceless

He should always have that attitude. Fuck the GOP. NO!

[John N Morgan]

12. Second only to "ENOUGH!" That was before bipartisan-ship...still waiting for that ship to sink.

[Rex]

13. Well now that is refreshing to hear...and they won't be getting any keys

back...not until Dems do WORSE in the public eye than Repukes...don't see that happening.

[TheDebbieDee]

14. Reminded me of Sen. Ted Stevens emphatic, "NO!"

[fishwax]

15. lol

:rofl:

[chillspike]

17. I liked when at the Health Reform meeting with repubs...

...Obama made the point that if government regulation was always bad we might as well deregulate the meat industry right now. No one was backing that idea. :)

[femrap]

18. I wonder if he or

one of his speechwriters came up with that.

Analogies are good.

[CTyankee]

19. I remember Clinton referring to having to pull the economy out of the ditch

where G.H.Bush had driven it...

[femrap]

20. yes, you're right

The economy (thankfully) tanked after the Gulf War and made George I a one-termer! And of course there was Perot screaming about the financials which helped. That was an interesting campaign year.

[felinetta]

21. I loved his delivery of it a well. It was stated and sounded the way a father would talk to

a child, which of course these Republicans are.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

22. I hate that our Presidents are judged by their stand-up abilities now

Some Presidents do have innate senses of humor that must help them in the public arena - Kennedy seemed witty, Reagan certainly knew how to manufacture a twinkle in his eye and Obama also has great delivery. Does that make them better or lesser Presidents?

When did this expectation that they could have a comedy career set in? I actually hate the whole White House Correspondents dinner schlock.Let's all just have dinner together and have high school skits and pretend that the lie mongering and misrepresentations are just a day's work but we can laugh together in the end.

At whose expense?
