London, August 22 : U.S. President Barack Obama left the national media struggling to get the meaning of his newest catchphrase 'wee weed up', which he uttered at a healthcare forum with Democratic party activists in Washington on Friday.

He spokes these words while comparing his recent negative press coverage with similarly dire predictions made during his run for President.

“There’s something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee weed up. I don’t know what it is. But that’s what happens,” Times Online quoted him as having said.

And then Obama "wee weed" all the way to Cape Cod...

U.S. President Barack Obama left the national media struggling to get the meaning of his newest catchphrase 'wee weed up'

No struggle here, looked it up:
Verb 1. wee-wee - eliminate urine; "Again, the cat had made on the expensive rug"

They're struggling to redefine it. Slant the fact that this president refers to his detractors in terms of excrement.

I think it has something to do with a “pissing contest”

He just got his languages all wrong. He thought he was translating “Si se puede” into French.

The debate finally ended with the White House spokesman Robert Gibbs shedding some light on the phrase during a press briefing.

He said: “(Wee weed up is) when people just get all nervous for no particular reason”.

He added: “Bed wetting would be the more consumer-friendly version.”

Yeah, that clears it right up. What it really means is more evidence for the American people that the CIC is a complete idiot.

He forgot to add that Obama was reduced to Baby talking.

If he was from a Southern State, I would be inclined to think it was some Southern Black idiom. However, since he isn’t...maybe he likes to make up his own words like Shakespear did?

I think it's a French reference, oui-oui'd, meaning "yes-yessed." He's talking about the Washington press corps(e)!

Or, maybe “wee” (as in small) “weed” (some plant-like growth) is how he refers to “Little Barry.”
