The leader of our country is dazed and confused.
At his press conference Friday, Obama delivered what the Liberal media described as a stuttering, uncertain, word-searching mess from a president dazed and confused. Thats because our dazed and confused president is a mess. And he created an even bigger mess for himself with his embarrassing press conference. Even Liberal Washington Post couldnt re-craft his senseless, meandering and stuttering performance and they didnt even try, entitling their summary, Uhhh, the presidents uhhh press conference was uhhh terrible.
The Washington Post reported,
If you are president of the United States and you dont have anything to say, dont have a press conference to say it. If youre the president of the United States and by Thursday its widely believed youve had one of the worst weeks of your presidency, take Friday off, and specifically avoid having a press conference.
Anytime you are president and youre speaking in public at an ill-timed press conference after a bad week, try to have something to say, and do a good job in saying it. I watched the whole thing, but its not easy to think of one useful thing that he had to say. And what he said, he said very poorly. Was it just me, or did the president seem a little dazed and confused? He should have had a cup of coffee before the press conference.

The 420 reference also goes back to a popular American movie of the 90s (I believe). There was lots of drug use in the movie, and often a clock could be seen in the background showing 4:20 each time.
Stoners picked up on that, and began using 4:20 as a covert reference to getting high on illicit drugs.
You put that very well, Twinkie. Good perspective.
Stuttering fool bump!
I have always heard, at least around Michigan, that 420 referred to April 20th as a day to go out into the woods and randomly plant marijuana seeds for a fall harvest.
I'm sure it is. Here's some additional data on the origins of the significance of "420":
"In the 21st Century, 420 is firmly established as a code amongst tokers, a time of day and even sort of a toker's New Year's Day. It's in our culture now and only time will tell where it ends up.
April 20th (4/20) is another usage, meaning that it is time for to plant before the summer.
Whatever the real story is, 420 has been an important part of the marijuana culture since the 1970's. The significance of 420 has been kept underground and is mostly known only among marijuana smokers. Many non-smokers aren't aware of the symbolism when they see someone wearing a T-shirt or baseball cap that says 420 across the front.
When the 420 icon is somehow discreetly worked into a mainstream product like a film, marijuana users take notice. The film Pulp Fiction is rumored to have had all clocks throughout the movie set to 4:20. Marijuana smokers familiar with the symbol picked up on itmost people, however, did not.
While some marijuana smokers are using 420 as a code that enables them to openly speak about marijuana in front of parents or teachers. 420 has been to some, a sacred symbol for nearly 30 years.
Simply put, 420 is a symbol of cannabis and its culture. Today, April 20th events are international, and 4:20 pm has become sort of a world wide "burn time"."
Earth day? The day of the Gulf oil spill?
Who knew? It was all about reefer.
Yup. He has always sounded this way without his teleprompter.
Well, at least her hair looks good in that pic!
“See, Suzie! This is what your face looks like when you suck lemons all the time. Do you want your face to look like this? I didn’t think so. Now, put down that lemon.”
Good thinking, g b c.
He’s in for a major humbling.
Maybe desperate Dems will nominate Hillary's Hair for president .. LOL
