"I saved myself the aggravation of watching the Obama Ego Stroking Tour, and practiced my piano instead. I have no doubt it was every bit as bad as it was said to be here.

The infomercial or your piano playing? :p

[pallis]

Not having television is a blessing, no Obama, none of the time.

Speaking of beer, the 0bamainfomercial made me sleep well. I played a drinking game with some of his well-known catchphrases. I had plenty during the program, but at the end, the rules forced me to down the whole drink with his “change the world” line. What an ego this man has.

[gridlock]

Oh, it's bad... Trust me...

_{Sorry for the tortured syntax... You know how you sometimes write a sentence three times, and then cobble together pieces of all three versions?}

After a few minutes I started feeling Wheezie.

[COBOL2Java]

I was kind of suprised that he didn't open it with Copelands "Fanfare For The Common Man".

He's saving that for the Inauguration.

Thanks to my Fauxbama-induced gag reflex, I missed Geoff Jenkins’ lead-off double last night. Thanks, Hussein.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I watched it with the same morbid curiousity with which the tongue probes a festering tooth.

[bertmerc1]

Just out of curiosity, what were the ratings?

[bigcat32]

“An insipid, dolorous hologram of abnegation and defeatism”

Um.....RIGHT ON! (bigcat32 feverishly looks for Funk and Wagnalls)

I call it a pile of crap.

[edpc]

Early reports have it at 17.8/29, or roughly 17.8 million viewers. He had somewhere around 38 million during his convention speech.

[retrokitten]

so I’ll just say it was somewhere between disturbing and an intestinal blockage.

Twenty minutes in, I was looking for something to settle it down – like pop rocks or hydrochloric acid.

I think I love you.

[woofie]

Very Good ...I didnt watch but I figured someone else would do a good job covering this. Im busy with a project ....”1-800-call-a-Messiah”

[delphirogatio]

I lasted less than 5 minutes, before the giant sucking sound of his ego was too much to bear.

[chemicalman]

Anyone has the ratings # for it?

[Tax-chick]

Oh, dear. I hope you feel okay today. Have lots of water and a lunch with garlic and protein!

[autumnraine]

A quote on No Quarter panning the infomercial.

“Obama is the feeling you get when you have had too much cake and ice cream and just want to hurl.”

LOL!

[Trust but Verify]

I saved myself the aggravation of watching the Obama Ego Stroking Tour, and practiced my piano instead. I have no doubt it was every bit as bad as it was said to be here.

The speech, or your piano playing? :)
