Our commander and chief's rebarbative appearance on our televisions yesterday with his "shout out" was not very presidential. Another example of amateur hour from theOne and his not ready for prime time team.

Video.

Rise and Shine.......tis FRiday, the weekend is upon us like a hoard of undernourished trick or treaters. Woo-Hoo!

[NeoCaveman]

I heard that live. 2 minutes of pandering to the “First Americans” before getting to our troops. Repulsive.

It’s the kind of day you want some rebarbituates and to crawl back into bed.

[tioga]

I did that at about 7:30, but then I kept remembering I had to post class and finally got up........

[tioga]

let me give a “shout out”........yada yada.......classy. with america following the news of the deaths we tune in to theOne and his shoutouts........like an actor he gets to the shootings and his whole demeanor changes.....amateur hour from theOne. I am so sick of him.

Senator Boxer's constituency has been rebarbative for longer than I care to contemplate.

[sig226]

That man is pathetic. Rebarbative is one word that aptly describes him, another is inept, another is phony, one last one should be guilty. What’s next, are we going to see the White House on Cribs?

[tioga]

not to harp or anything.......but linda chavez has named this "Obama's pet goat moment". LMAO!!!

[mikrofon]

He might’ve well have said- “Werd to the ‘Hood” or something just as rebarbative.

[verga]

I really hate that you used exactly what I was going to say

[secret garden]

The rebarbative title alone, by NPR of course, is enough to make you want to skip breakfast.

[sig226]

As long as it ends with guilty . . . :)

[tioga]

go ahead and copy, everyone else is.

I am so sick and tired of the sugar coated distortions to our news. they are all a pack of liars.......shep did his usual dance and refused to say this dirtbag’s name yesterday afternoon. what is wrong with the people?

[secret garden]

Didn’t he also acknowledge someone as a Medal of Honor winner who isn’t?

[tioga]

so his shoutout was inaccurate? figures, theO just keeps digging.
