My kids and I were listening to Obama speak and noticed he constantly makes a point and then follows that point with, "But" and then states his more important counter point.

Take his health care speech before Congress. These are just a few and there are many more to be found in any speech he gives.

So, we made a game called, "can you find Obama's but"

This could be a great drinking game (soft drinks of course).

Have fun and drive home safely.

Obama is a but-monkey. And no that is not a racist remark.

“But” is Barry’s way of saying that he was for something before he was against it.

I thought we weren’t supposed to start sentences with a proposition? Perhaps Obama was stoned that day in school when they covered transitional phrases.

That’s one of his trademark rhetorical skills. He first makes a statment that nearly everyone agrees with, often a fairly conservative idea, then says ‘but’ and states his marxist view on the subject.

the following are examples I made up, but similar to things he says in speeches:

“I am a strong believer in small business, but too often workers are unnecessarily left out of the success of these businesses as profits are funneled to investors and owners. I believe the workers deserve a bigger share. I will mandate higher wages and profit sharing”.

“I have faith in the free market, but oil companies are gouging the consumer and I am going to add windfall profit taxes to protect the middle class.”

and so on.

But, but, but...Mr Obama doesn’t have a healthcare plan. Will someone in the media please ask him when he intends to present this plan to us. He talks in generalities about points in a hoped-for health bill, but, but, there isn’t one thing he can point to that is his alone. But, on the other hand, we are allowing 45,000 people a year to die needlessly because they have no health coverage. I have never seen such a barge of bilge tied-up to the ship of state. Obama is Masterful. (Oops, I think I subconciously elicited a racist idea.) Me bad, someone whip my arse for it please.

Using the word “but” negates everything you said before “but” ... but then I digress ...

That’s funny. Between the ‘buts’, the straw men, and his inability to give a speech without TOTUS, he doesn’t seem like the incredible orator that the MSM assures me his is.

We got a good look at Obama’s “but” when he bowed down before the Saudi king.

Not quite as often as he uses “I” in his speeches.

If you assign a designated driver, count the “I’s” and “me’s”.
