BARE ARMS?????? You mean the Queen has the right to bare her arms everyday, every where, according to the second ammendment of the US Constitution?

Barack Obama is a low-class street hustler.

Thank you.. That is the best description I have heard yet!

Thanks for the ping, forgot to check live if there was a thread though watched zero on FNC.

One wonders if they did last year would be interesting to find out.

I find the pauses awful where he is obviously waiting either for a telepropter or if not using it struggling to remember what to say.

Why not have it on a piece of paper this would IMHO be more than acceptable at correspondent dinner.

[snugs]

I thought was a very tasteless seeing that so many people were terrified.

People critized GWB public speaking but his routines as these events were always funny and well delivered not stop and start like 0.

[snugs]

George Bush had more class in his small finger than Zero has in his whole body plus this is White House correspondence dinner. The people to make jokes and take swipes at (but in good humour and fun) is the actual journalists and members of the White House staff including yourself. O and his speech writers either do not get it or do not care and just like an opportunity to rubbish the opposition.

[snugs]

Probably did not even realise it was a joke the script obviously did not indicate it was meant to be funny.

Dreadful and what a contrast to elegant and always dressed suitable for the occasion Laura Bush.

[WestCoastGal]

Why does he always make that stupid face?

Did anyone pick up what was posted in # 217:

"In March of 2009 it was announced that Wanda Sykes would be the host of a new late night talk show on Saturdays on FOX. It's expected to premier in the fall of 2009".

WHAT THE.........!!!!!!!

I watched a bit of the pre-dinner. I thought it was a nice touch to make sure there was enough Congress and other staff to fake cheer each and every celebtard that came through the door.

Honestly, it was so fake you wanted to throw up. That’s when I just turned it off. They are just a big PR set up today. It just cheapens anyone that has accomplished something and I didn’t notice much accomplishment with the Obama crowd.

How very sad. What Obama and crowd don’t realize is real accomplisment speaks for itself and you don’t have to embellish. So I suppose since there is no real accomplishment with these people the only thing they can do is embellish.

You know what? I smell a rat in our midst.

Look at the smug, satisfied expression on his face. Gag!

[EmilyGeiger]

I love Glenn Beck! He is so talented. I finally got a copy of his book The Christmas Sweater, and I listened to it on C.D. as well. The emotion he has in his voice, wow. the story is so good. Well worth reading and listening to.
