[topfile]

rambling on and on Stretch....Stretch....your almost done....

[MamaLucci]

Nope.....he’s NOTHING without his teleprompter.

[Political Junkie Too]

Do we have a drinking word/phrase?

"We don't need..."

I'm cubicle-bound in California, so I'm not listening right now.

-PJ

[buccaneer81]

Larry, Curly, and Moe.

Worse. Chris, Barney and Rahm.

[Roscoe Karns]

Has he actually said anything yet?

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

He’s still campaigning. He doesn’t know how to do anything else.

Bingo!

He is still campaigning. He doesn't know how to be President.

[roses of sharon]

He is a confidence man.

They do not answer questions....

[azishot]

What is he talking about, Makes no sense. Stools? Iran? Uh, Uh...

[jennyjenny]

LOL. SNL could have a field day with this, but we'll see if they have the guts to do.

"I said in the campaign, blah, blah, blah, but what I also said, blah, blah, blah". fergodsakes.

[Texas Eagle]

He just dissed Bush again - “failed policies of the last 8 years and that whats the election was all about”.

Yo, Barry, who had control of Congress for the last 6 years and how many of their policies did Bush veto?

[Shortstop7]

sure he was...he said “Iran is a country”....

[Sarah Barracuda]

Obama said...the nation will slip into a crisis so deep that “we may be unable to reverse” it.

Hey Obama, I’ll take my damn chances, I’d rather wait and do nothing then pass this pork crap and live in a socialist country. What a turd he is, instead of a President coming out and giving us hope, he comes out with nothing but despair, he is a piece of crap. He will go down in history as the WORST President EVER. He is making Nixon and Carter look good, damn he is even making Clinton look good

How to Do a Shamwow Commercial

• Get a Bronx / Long Island accent.
  
• Apply gel.
  
• Purchase Madonna headset mic.
  
• "It was made in Germany". Repeat x3.
  
• Say "Look at this!" and "Ya follow me, camera guy?" a lot.
  
• ????
  
• PROFIT
  

  Let's let Barry try..

  

  Hi, it's Barry with ShamNow! You'll be saying Sham every time I sign a bill! It's like a chamois! It's like a towel! It's like a sponge. A regular bill doesn't get all your money - this works on paper money or pocket change. This is for the House, the Senate, the boat, the RV! ShamNow holds twenty times its weight in money. Look at this! It just does the work! Why do you want to work twice as hard? It doesn't drip, doesn't make a mess. You wring it out, launder it in the Senate. It is made in Germany, you know the Germans always make good stuff. You can cut it in half, use one as a bath mat, drain your dishes with the other one, use one as a towel. Olympic divers, they use it as a towel (no, you're a towel). Look at that! Completely broke! Put a business in it, roll it up, it sucks all the profit. Here's some oil, coal, natural gas and pet stains. Not only is the damage gonna be on top - there's your carbon. That is going to smell! See that? The most absorbing We're gonna do this in real time! Look at this! Put it on the profit, turn it over! Without even putting any pressure, fifty percent of the profit right there. You follow me, camera guy? The other fifty percent, the money starts to come up. No other towel's gonna do that! It acts like a vacuum! And look at this - virtually broke on the bottom! See what I'm telling ya? ShamNow! You'll be saying Sham every time!

[TomGuy]

To be a Harvard grad, this guy is about as inarticulate as Caroline Kennedy.

Maybe he would have gotten a better education at some place, like the University of Idaho.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

“Uh” 33 times now!!!

Drunk yet????

[shadeaud]

HEy Berry,
Do you think he was looking for the wash pail and brush to clean dem winders

[mewzilla]

“Clear & Specific details will be presented tomorrow by my Treasury Secretary, Geitner, tax cheat.”

Oh, goody.

[LostInBayport]

ITS SHAMWOW!!!

So THAT's why he didn't look at us...he was making sure Camera Guy was following him! Or is that Teleprompter Guy?

[Shady]

Nope, came up on da teleprompter. What an arrogant humbug.
