Flustered Obama a 'wee' bit touchy during dog days

Mired in the summer of his discontent, President Obama on Thursday coined a new phrase for the absurdity of a Washington August, when lawmakers and lobbyists vacation outside the Beltway but pollsters and chatterers go right on polling and chattering.

"There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee'd up," the world's most powerful man observed. "I don't know what it is, but that's what happens."

So, it made perfect sense that, during wee wee'd Washington's "silly season," the president took to the conservative radio airwaves to declare that he wants a bipartisan fix for America's health care system and that a federal takeover is just "an option." Mr. Obama then spent some time with a group of die-hard campaign supporters, telling them, "We're going to win this debate. ... Let's go get 'em!"

Just seven months in office, the legendarily cool Mr. Obama is in the throes of a summer meltdown. Massive opposition to his sweeping proposal to overhaul America's health care system has prompted the normally unflappable president to lose his cool, and, on a bizarre but blisteringly hot day in the nation's capital, to strike back at the far right and stoke up the far left.

The day opened with Mr. Obama sitting down with Michael Smerconish in the White House Diplomatic Reception Room, an appropriate venue for a presidential interview with a conservative radio talk-show host who broke ranks and endorsed the Democratic candidate in 2008.

Under a portrait of George Washington and in front of a cozy fireplace, the two engaged in a 25-minute diplomatic exchange, with the friendly host firing off courteous questions.

As I told my husband last night, “that’s why they pay the big bucks to go to Harvard”.

Thanks for the info.

Leave it to the MSM to find one useful idiot to support their arguments.

He’s wee-wee’d about those wascally Wepublicans and those wight wingers at the town halls. And Wush Limbaugh

'ALL WEE WEED UP'

Does wee-wee’d mean PISSED?? What a child.

There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee'd up,

I always thought the "T" in TOTUS stood for Teleprompter, but apparently I was wrong.

It stands for TODDLER.

What a puerile statement from a [supposedly] educated man.

When I was growing up my mother always reminded me never to trust anyone named "Smerconish".

Michael Smerconish, ah yes, the very icon of conservative talk shows. LOL.

This is what passes for journalism nowadays.

He has no class.

That is right.

I called the WH today to find out what “wee weed up” even means. The operator didn’t know.

I supposed it was 0’s way of saying people are “pissed off.”
