Daily Gut: Obama’s Afterschool Assembly
by Greg GutfeldSo, everyone had a State of the Union drinking game. Mine? Once Obama started talking, I drank.
See, to me, the speech came and went like one of those “serious” high school assemblies: you know, when a teacher finds out about a student defacing a locker with unicorn stickers, she decides we all need to sit in a humid gym for an hour and be told “it’s okay to be different.”
But in case you missed the speech, here’s my summary:
“We face challenges, IT’S NOT MY FAULT – but that’s what makes us great.”
Try that on a losing football team.
The point is, even though he never mentioned GWB, he more than alluded to the poor guy, constantly reminding us how Obie inherited this mess. Sorry dude, it’s been a year – it’s your mess now, and you’re making it messier.
Obama also spent a lot of time blaming his problems on vile partisanship. But how can it be partisanship, when one party rules everything? Mr. President, these are your people. The Republicans eat Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. Don’t blame them. If anything, real partisanship would make you a stronger President.
Anyway, here are some other thoughts from yours truly (i.e., me)…
*I don’t care how cool the president is, watching members of Congress scrambling for autographs afterwards seems a tad cheesy. It’s not like he’s Erik Estrada. No one is like Erik Estrada.
* An hour into speech, “security” finally makes a cameo. Summary: stop making it an issue, already.
*Apparently if you become a public servant, you will be able to dump your student loans. This is not what I would call a rallying cry for a generation.
*I’m glad Joe got his whitening strips back. It helped deflect the shine off his forehead.
*Female Democrats dress like real estate agents. It made me wonder, do they also have their pictures on their business cards? It might be a nice touch.
But, here’s what drives me batty like a big fat bat.
Check out this part of Obama’s speech:
“From the day I took office, I’ve been told that addressing our larger challenges is too ambitious, such an effort would be too contentious. I’ve been told that our political system is too gridlocked, and that we should just put things on hold for a while. For those who make these claims, I have one simple question: How long should we wait? How long should America put its future on hold? ”
Okay: Obama keeps bringing up these mysterious people who keep telling him what to do and what not to do. Which begs the question: Who’s he talking to who keeps giving him this great advice that he keeps ignoring? It seems to me, If he had listened to them, we’d all be better off.
But that’s just me. Not you. Be thankful for that.

There must have been a lot of hung over people at work today!
If he did, my money would be Obama kept the buzzer himself.

Thanks Greg.
Now time for Robot Theater, please pass the government lotion.
Greg, I too want to drink when Barry speaks, that annoying lisp, or hiss (snake) of his…all I can think of is STFU! Awful speech, same crap over and over again, nothing new, worn out ‘60s egalitarian horse twaddle, delivered like a bad preacher at the Ebenezer Baptist Church!
Kind of like a perma smile(when concious), the type that "Smiling Bob" wore in the Enzyte commercials.

Excellent. Those founders were smart, eh?
The liquor/beer industry must love O.
Great article, Greg. The point you made about BHO whining about 'partisanship', even though the dems have a majority all the way around, especially before Massachusetts, is very salient, I think about that quite often myself. Does BHO consider himself a '3rd party'? Hmm… wonder what party that would be? I could take a wild guess……………….Hanzo
Excellent review Greg!
Sorry off topic but this has bugged me since he used teleprompters to talk to school kids.
Who put the circular rug underneath with images of world flags on it?
Is this his new one world leader logo? Was the blue carpet not good enough that he needed a blue rug to cover it?
Personally, I'm just glad that the media could take an incident like Obama spewing slurs, dressed up as intelligence, against the Supreme Court to the justices' very faces, and then turn it around to make it look like Justice Alito was the one not showing any class. Way to go, media!
Whenever I watch an Obama speech, I find myself screaming at the TV, "Say something!" Anybody else have the same problem?
That "Smiling Bob" guy…annoyed me so much, I wanted to commit an act which would have permanently removed that stupid smile of his. Does that make me a bad person?
Question, since he attacked the Supreme Court members and the military, which one will go after him first?S
I had a jerking reaction at one point myself. I think it was at the point where Obama claimed to be carrying on the legacy of JFK and Ronald Reagan. If he's carrying on the legacy of Reagan, I'm Mao Tse-Tung. And if I am, somebody please track me down and shoot me.
First, they will have to pry Anita Dunn from your body!
Ha ha… no. I fely the same way and my mom said that I'm a good person, ha ha ………….Hanzo
As well as the gun shops.
No, I'm afraid I get nauseous when I see the guy on tv. He is a terrible speaker, by the way. I laugh every time I see/hear someone refer to his being articulate and a great speaker.
Say…maybe that's a NEW drinking game?
As long as I avoid the MSM, I should be ok to drive…
No they can just shoot through her. It's ok with me.
So now that Obama has called out the Supreme Court how long till they demand to see a birth certificate? Wise Latina's want to know.
Think you might have to ask T_Rav about that first…
The Teleprompter in Chief recycled last year's speech. What drivel. One lie after another right on que. Biden looked that part of the second jackazz as usual. Every time I see Joe Jackazz, I see the used car salesman that sold me my first lemon clunker.
Yeah that and the urge to kick in my set but then I realize I paid hard earned money for the tv set. I'd rather just kick Obama but well he's not worth the kick.
What he got from sitting in Rev. Wright's pews for twenty years is the cadence and speech pattern of the preacher's sermons. It's a well-established rhetoric. It does not mean there is any substance or truth in the words or message. He's totally over-rated as a speaker.
I actually can't watch his speeches. I just hate his voice. The worst is when he gets that stereotypical black preacher cadence going and ends his words with a kind of "huh-hah!". Although he hasn't been doing that much since the campaign trail … almost as if he can turn it on and off at will.
So I read what he said and it's actually somehow more offensive in cold black and white. Who does he think he is?
Hey! Nobody messes with Joe!
My TV has a foot-shape hole in the center of the screen, and the rest is fuzzy. It's been like that for just about a year now. Don't recall what caused it…
That first line is a classic … I urge everyone to email that one first line to everyone, especially your liberal friends.
I didn't watch the speech because I figured it'd just be pompous, self-aggrandizing Marxist drivel. And from the three or four snippets I've seen or heard, I wasn't far off.
Does it seem that every time Comrade Obama gives a speech, he looks like Mussolini with his arms crossed and jutting chin? Spooky.

Nancy Pelosi was obviously having a problem with her dentures. About half way through she stopped with the big smiles and started sucking in her cheeks and pursing her lips, and making goofier than usual faces. As my wife said, she was dying to stick her finger in her mouth and fix her teeth but couldn't with the cameras on her. A laugh riot!
Wow, I can't believe anyone watched it at all. I just fired up a fresh episode of red eye I recorded with my new "make your computer a dvr thingy".
Much better.
My God! Has ANY President ever signed autographs on his way out of the building? Seriously. I have never seen that happen – I mean, in all my long years, I have never seen that happen. And that right there says what this jerk is. He's not a president, he's a pop star.
And now this pop star is getting pissed because the tune he's singing is a song no one wants to hear. Worse, his DJ's are going to play that same song for the next 3 years even though the audience is turning the dial to 'off' and advertisers are crawling out through the windows. And how does this pop star react to what he's doing wrong? Well, last night he climbed up onto the podium and screamed, "I'm STILL going to sing the same song and if you don't like it, then God D*MN America!"
Well, listen, you jerk. First off, don't you ever threaten me or my country. Secondly, you can take your stupid autograph and shove it. And thirdly – come this November, I'm going to shove something a whole lot bigger than an autograph at you.
No, I am not okay with getting shot! I said IF I was Mao Tse-Tung, then please shoot me. But I'm not, so don't.
On second thought, even though I'm not Mao Tse-Tung, if you ever do find me with Anita Dunn on me, then go ahead and shoot me anyway. It's the humane thing to do, I think. Gosh, I'm going to have nightmares about that now. Anita Dunn…ack
Good, I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. Because if it was, then I might be disturbed.
I wish the people in the MA Baptist Church where he spoke (while trying to drum up votes for Coakley), realized that they were being used like paper towels.
That's easy.
He thinks he is "The One."
"So I read what he said and it's actually somehow more offensive in cold black and white. Who does he think he is?"…………………………Same here………….
What struck me about Barry's little sermon on the mount last night was that he has become an even whinier little b**ch than he already was……………..I didn't think that was even possible…………Then I yacked!
Obama should end every speech to congress with the words "If you kill me these two idiots behind me take over"
I think ALL the Founding Fathers "knew about" Obama. They had, after all, just dealt with a tyrant across the pond who in Obama's eyes would be too "laissez-faire."
Don't make me snort tea all over my desk! Too funny!
regular bulldogs aren't they ?
I think that was the same time Oboyma said something about a spending freeze.
Quel horreur!
I was going to call him arrogant, but according to Olberman, it's a racist code-word by white people…(so is flippant).
Now I'm going to have to walk around with a special app on my I-Pad before I ever speak to others.
Hanzo I think 0bamao feels he's above above the fray an entity all to himself.
Yes Gary, I have the same problem, that's why I never watch him anymore. I've heard everything he's ever going to say blah, blah blah; "the previous eight years," "I inheirited," "let me be perfectly clear" etc.
That is what the remote is for, right?
That tongue of hers doesn't make you want a BIG kiss?
I-Pad? Is that a, er, uh …aw never mind.
Nice. lol!
I'd plus two or three that if I could!
I keep looking for the tennis ball. There has to be one. And those are definitely some Loooonng volleys he's watching.
Those were mini Health Care Bills. You people are so naive.
I shudder the thought.
*Female Democrats dress like real estate agents
I always was bothered by their attire. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I also noted that there seemed to be a lot of [SEIU] purple. [Michelle's outfit, Nancy's coat, Joe & Harrys tie...]
No! Why would you say that? What's wrong with you?!
Well, that's what I'm here for.

They're something; I don't know if "bulldogs" covers it. Little rat terriers, maybe.
Trying to sell the idea that the stimulus package created 2 million jobs while there is 10% unemployment was the most sour note for me. The Fudge Nitwit!
I wish he would just shut the f*ck up. I'm tired of his bullsh*t stories. Just get the hell out my face you narcisisstic egomaniac.
Sorry-can't get that video of that thing out of my head. I thought this would help-it didn't.
So Sorry, I meant iPad, but I can certainly see how the upper-case "I" could have been culturally insensitive, please forgive me.
I was thinking the same with him looking down his snoot at his underlings, I was also thinking it would be nice if he got the same resounding finale as the Ities gave Mussolini.
I was dozing and half listening to some news hack ask a guest what they thought was the high point of the speech. The reply… when he said "Goodnight and God bless America."

Only caught the end of the speech…The hockey game I was listening to on my way home from teaching was much more entertaining and actually delivered a desired result. (My team won in a shoot-out.) What I saw during re-caps was Madam Speaker popping up out of her seat much like someone had zapped her with an electric cattle prod. I had a vision of a giant rubber mallet (or was it the Speaker's gavel?) hovering over her head waiting to smack her down so she would stay seated. When November comes I'm looking forward to not seeing her up on the dais.(sp? Sorry!)
Community organizers usually are talking to people who are less than well educated and who are often uninformed. It is quite easy to impress and persuade them, especially if you tell them what they want to hear.
Obama, in my opinion, is not well educated either. His test scores and school history might prove otherwise, however he's locked all that away from the American people so we have his actual performance to judge him by. His SOTU speech demonstrated that he is incapable of speaking to the American public as grown-ups, most of whom are smarter than he…and have accomplished more than he could ever hope to.
No, that makes you a sane person.
To be fair I think it's "Teh Won" – ha!
Last night's speech confirmed for me that he was in over his head as a community organizer.
Ewwwwwwwwwww………Lizard Lips!
btw… if anybody in the MSM had spent any time in a church, they would have recognized this.
A drop? Ben was being generous.
I thought it looked like a kiddie pool. Maybe in case he got all wee-wee'd up?
Well, I survived it but only because I resorted to playing Queen in the background ("Liar", then had to switch to "Death on Two Legs"), and adding "On what planet?" at the end of every statement. Something worked since I only puked twice this time.
Next time, I'm gonna start drinking before. Maybe the day before.
Watching him makes me nauseous, so I hadn't realized he actually signed AUTOGRAPHS! How demeaning to the office. I wish the Founding Fathers could come kick his pompous little rear.
He does aspire to "rock star" status. Hence, all the talk shows on tv.
I think it's his Malcom X sing-song impersonation. He DOES turn it on and off at will but only when he's trying to play up to his peeps.
It confirmed my suspicion after last Friday's town hall, that he's insane.
I find myself screaming "Somebody say something!" And some times people do.
"You lie"
'Not true'.
That's my team, too!
To everyone who contributed to this particular Red Eye forum: I salute you!!!
I gave you each a thumbs-up because you absolutely made my morning! Thanks!
Right on!
Is it just me, or does that video of her kissing up to Mao really reminiscent of the Joker? I mean, that whole smacking her lips thing, with the tongue going in and out, that's the only thing I can think of when I watch. Rather fitting, I suppose.
It'd have been funny if she had taken them out and played with them like a pair of castanets behind Barry's back – or used them to pinch Joe Biden on the cheek.
I hope that after three years, he'll be like a washed-up rock star, playing the county fair-and-wedding reception circuit.
Best line from that Hitler's Bunker/Scott Brown video parody: "Bush got C's – Obama probably failed lunch!"
I scream something completely different. And then I need to go to Confession. Too many f-words…
Obama blames, lies, derides and postures, all to a roomful of applause and cheers. Don't tell me it isn't the Twilight Zone.
I'm seeing play-offs in their future and a gold medal at the Vancouver Olympics (fingers crossed) for a certain Goalie from Michigan.
… and they wonder why no one listens to them anymore, and they are all gong bankrupt. Pretty dumb to be killing your own livelihood day after day.
I was watching "The Golden Girls" instead of the speach. I had a wonderful time. I did read a transcript of the speach and realized I've read it before and it still sucks.
No, I have given up on the screaming and just go straight to pounding my head against a brick wall.
It's the purple of "unification."
Red State
Blue State
Mix 'em up -yum!
Voila! Purple State
The whining rhetoric began when Massachusetts elected a Republican senator: "(sniff) Why can't we get along?"
I need to get a windshield wiper mounted to my TV – every time my mom sees Obama on the TV, she spits at the screen.
first – loved your comments through out this thread!
2nd – the rug looks like the one sold to schools, churches, and day cares for "circling". The ones I've seen in catalogues have everything from Noah's Ark & animals, to alphabet, to books of the Bible, to planets, to flags.
I'm sure HE thought it was there just for him, if he didn't bring it with the screens and pulpit..
haha…Great Post, Greg! When are you going to ask O'reilly to go on the show?? He would be HILARIOUS!!
Here in my part of the world, we have geckos, a type of lizard. They like to lie on the windows at night and pick off bugs attracted to the light from the room.
When you look out the window, that appear transparent – you can see all their organs through their skin.
Maybe this is the transparency Obama and his bunch were talking about…?
Yep. Sorta like Matthews saying Obama was so wonderful that he forgot he was Black. How can a person be so stupid!
They hammered the Congressman for, "You lie."
They look pretty stupid as they try to hammer a Supreme Court Justice.
Oh, that's funny.
And all of us should be entitled to.
