Gibbs: "I don't know if I should do that from the podium." (AP)
President Obama yesterday used an intriguing rhetorical construct in discussing health care reform with members of Organizing for America.
"There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up," he said. "I don't know what it is. But that's what happens."
Maybe it's because a bunch of us are having weird, unexpected Crawford withdrawal. Others just hate the newsless August Washington echo-chamber, where editors still want stories but there is nothing to report on so we recycle polls and predict the death of health care reform. Perhaps someone misses Eric Cantor. Others think it's hot outside -- who knows?? But -- "wee-weed up"? Is that really necessary?
Robert Gibbs, please clarify:
"I think 'wee-weed up' is when people just get all nervous for no particular reason, when they -- look, it -- I think the way the president used it was -- and I -- I've talked to a few of you guys about this -- in our -- in August of 2007, right, the rap on the president and the campaign was, they can't -- they're -- first of all, they're doing poorly in Iowa. They can't possibly win the nomination, let alone the presidency, right? So I'll leave those predictions aside.
So this is just -- this is sort of an August pundit pattern between people getting overly nervous for something that still has a long way to go. Bed-wetting is -- would be probably the more consumer-friendly term."
Got it. Will health care reform cover treatment for that?
0bama can go wee wee up a rope!
“DON’T WEE-WEE ON ME, DUDE!”
He’s kind of already wee-weeing with his wienie into the wind, is he not? what a DOPE.
He brings new depths to stupidity.
can you imagine a president saying such a thing....get out
This coming from an “intellectual” and one of the most articulate man of our day. Righhhhhhttttt!
No one can define it or at least they pretend they don’t know what he said.
Bibbs even has down the gestures of Baghdad Bob.

0be is full of pee-pee Mumbo Jumbo.
Oh my.... the signs for the March on DC are certainly going to be fun, lol.
What an idiot we have for a President.
Tatt
Since the President has now shifted the dialog and lowered the healthcare discussion to the topic of urine, I am pissed off that Gibb’s job has degenerated into urinating in our ears and telling us it is raining.
Let’s try to imagine the reaction if GWB had said that.
Everyone has heard of "one upsmanship" in any competitive situation, and I think that is where the "up" comes from.
Male children have historically named their penises "my pee pee", and it is not far from the phrase "wee wee".
We know that Obama is a narcissist and a megalomaniac from his actions and from what prominent people in the know have written about him.
It is therefore not too much of a stretch to interpret the phrase "wee wee'd up", whether consiously or subconsciuosly as "who has the longest penis", and is willing to use it to get the job done.
Frustration or urination??? Nope, it’s a (small penis) erection slur, IMO.
