Tempers around here have definitely been somewhat strained since November.
Generally speaking, I totally agree but in this case I think that most of us can laugh "with" the President on this one. I know I've made at least half the gaffs he did in that video and I've learned to laugh at myself when I do. It only proves the man is human and most people like to know that even though he is the President, he is one of us.
There was a guy who made a record in the 60's by the name of Vaughan Meader. He did JFK impressions that were hysterical and I can remember my father laughing so hard that tears rolled down his face. And my dad, like hundreds of thousands of WWII vets worshiped JFK. Oh, and Kennedy thought the album was fantastic and laughed at himself all the time.

That would be November 2000, from my estimation. Bill Clinton as prez unified the thinking around here like nothing else. Now, all the factions are bickering like little girls playing hopscotch.
(as a male human being, I have to ask, do little girls bicker playing hopscotch?)
I see your point. I just don’t believe that the post - with its accompanying mealymouthed little snark about “Bushbbots” - was intended in the same lighthearted and innocent manner as your dad’s chuckling at the Meader routine.
But I am a bushbot. Eventhough I wish he’d do more on the border issue...I still consider myself a bushbot.
