Obama's latest Brobdingnagian ego trip implies HE alone will plug the leak in the gulf.

"Malia knocks on my bathroom door and, she peeks in her head and she says, 'did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?'"

- President Barack Obama, May 27, 2010 White House Press Conference

This will happen right after he waves his hand and the seas part....

Today’s word makes me think of Bill Clinton’s nose, then it makes me wish for the days when he was president. This is bad!

[tioga]

Heck, I yearn for Hillary as president. I would still be complaining, but it’s better than being scared to death for our country.

Obama’s deficit: Brobdingnagian
Our grandkids: Left Holding the Bag-ian
Although Bill and Hill
Gave me nary a thrill
I’d prefer the old sag-ian hag-ian

[tioga]

A+ it IS indeedy!

[tioga]

A+++ ah, the good old days when the ecological spill of the day was all on a blue dress.

[tioga]

the love is off the blooming idiot....miss piggy whines about competence......what about hers in picking theOne?

[dangus]

Not a knock on the thread, because I think it’s a great idea. But this isn’t a word, it’s an NPRism, the type of word liberals love to throw around to make themselves seem superior. Seriously, why is that any more of a word than, “Thatsnotamoonthatsaspacestationian?” If you mean, “huge,” say “huge.” If you mean huger than huge, say, “Obamaegonian.”

[dangus]

I like much. Brilliant, in fact, if you just came up with that! (although sagging hagian rhymes a tad better, no?)

[hobbes1]

positively brobdingnagian realization.

Apparently, Peggy has still not been away from the scotch long enough to see what everyone else knew going in.

He Was Supposed to Be Competent????? What the hell was in his background to make such an assertion...

[hobbes1]

LMAO! GMTA!
