So what did the president mean when he said this week that everyone's getting all "wee-weed up'' in Washington?
"It's a phrase I use,'' White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today, hesitating at his press briefing to offer a physical demonstration of the phraseology.
"Let's do this in a way that's family friendly,'' Gibbs said. "I think 'wee-weed up' is when people get all nervous for no particular reason....
"August of 2008, everybody was nervous about whether the entire presidential campaign was slipping out from the hands of the president,'' Gibbs said, turning the page to this August, in which all the president's critics are declaring his health-care initiatives in peril. "This is sort of an August pundit pattern of people getting overly nervous about something that has a long way to go...
"Bedwetting would probably be the more consumer-friendly term for it,'' the press secretary said.

I find the term offensive and unpresidential. But of course the Messiah said it, so that’s alright.

So the President spoke and he went weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and then the press secretary took the podium and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...

Certainly not American. From the American black ghettos and prisons. It's racist and crudely sexual. And he'll get away with it just like when he gave the finger to Hillary and McCain.

If Wee-wee gets away with this stupidity, it will be because REPUBLICANS were too stiff and afraid to pummel him mercilessly with ridicule about it.
So.
Are we too stiff and afraid to do so?

"Wee-wee" and "stiff" in the same sentence....yellow light!

Are we really so focused on finding reasons not to mercilessly mock “the One” that we must now resort to vague homo innuendo?
Why not just organize a circular firing squad.
Seems to be what we do best.
We CERTAINLY cannot possibly actually criticise Wee-wee.

Mocking a narcissist is an excellent way to get them to show who they really are. I'm in agreement with you. Wee-wee is, in fact, "The Joker".
To: mmichaels1970
I have an honest and yes, challenge question for you.
Do you want to beat Obama and the left?
Or do you want to be unhappy about them, while they systematically destroy America?
Because that’s what’s happening, while we sit on our hands and act dignified.
To: mmichaels1970
Oops.
Just saw your answer.
:)
To: mmichaels1970
I think that a black man will have to come forward and explain what “wee wee’d up” means and how it is meant to “belittle” white males before anyone will believe.
Obama just can’t resist making a racist comment putting down the fay’s.

Yup. I'm with you. Just thought it would be a good time to use one of my favorite old Navy terms: "yellow light", for the first time on FR. My apologies for the misunderstanding. :)

So whatever happened to the GOP?
And how in the world, can we get them back into the game?

They learned how to compromise and forgot how to win.
Most of them forgot why our founders designed a role for them in the first place. Service...not personal gain.
For General elections, I'd say close the primaries and rearrange their order where the reddest state in the previous election goes first. Reward the states that show the most support for the party.
If they don't like it, reject the delegates. The dems fiddled with MI and FL in 2008 and still ended up winning them. They'll get over it.
Probably just a pipe-dream for me. But I've been communicating that to whoever wants to listen.
On a micro-level, all I'm doing now is witholding support and campaign work for any moderates. I do send letters, emails, and contributions to reps on every level that exhibit true conservative principles. I remember when Voinovich cried over the Bolton appointment. He'll never get another dime or another hour out of me. I'm glad he's done. Maybe we can upgrade.
I also try to "turn a lib" as much as possible. I think a lot of dems are actually more conservative then they let on. Must be some sort of guilt-complex. Emotions get the best of them I guess. If I can get one, he may be able to get five more.
It's certainly a tough road ahead.

"WEE WEE" is something you say to your children (I'm from the south) when you are beginning to potty train them.... “do you need to go WEE WEE” Pretty common in the mountains of NC: better than saying “ Hey kid,” “do you need to take a piss”
Every one know what the bro said and meant!

To: Mr. K
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy has roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy cried “Wee! Wee! Wee!” all the way home.
