Obama

You know, my husband said to me last night when he read the Bible verse, “He always looks uncomfortable when he talks about religion.”
If he’s elected president I wonder what adjective we’ll use then.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mostly short ones, averaging four letters each!
Bambi got all weepy and sad at the end of his “routine”. Barack Obama is SUCH A DOWNER. Talking down the economy and the country - look what it’s gotten us. Senator Government, you’re no comedian!
I saw 0 speak for about 1 minute (it wasn't much). I had the same thought. Looked like something out of a costume shop.
When it comes to fashion, I have no taste at all....and even I said "That's one ugly outfit".
Did you read about the elaborate 'snack' that Obummer ordered a few days ago?
Two whole lobsters, some elaborate dish with lobster sauce and a quantity of Iranian caviar.
***did Obama pick up his tux from a rental shop on the way over to this dinner?... he looked completely out of place in his formalware***
The reason you’re thinking that is because all the other men had on formal wing-collared shirts and 0’s shirt collar was a regular fold down. Like the kind high school boys wear to the prom.
So much for 0’s “cool elegance.”
He looked like a kid...giggling at his own jokes...too scrawny to fill out his suit.
Amplification: So much for 0’s “cool elegance,” which the MSM keeps insisting he has, but which is obviously a bunch of whooey since he doesn’t even know the difference between “white tie” and “black tie.” Just because the tie is white doesn’t make his dress formal. There is more to it than that, which his handlers obviously don’t have a clue about. But I guess in his world, everyone would be wearing brown so it’s a moot point anyway.
Yep, I agree. It so was funny I watched it several times. It was hilarious, yet had some meat to it. He really burned Obama on ACORN and “above my paygrade”, but it somehow did not come across as mean spirited. I hope lots of people get to see this.
Thanks! Living high on the hog on the backs of small donors.
He also had the perfect “set up” or the transition ... the whole peaking at Obamas routine and telling the audience to prepare for the funniest 15 minutes of their lifetimes ... the whole, no pressure, but he knows if he fails to deliver he’ll insult the hosts and it could even cost him several swing states ... classic transition that was FUNNY!
“It’s been that kind of contest and I come here tonight to the Al Smith Dinner knowing I’m the underdog in these final weeks, but if you know where to look there are signs of hope, even in the most unexpected of places, even in the room filled with proud Manhattan Democrats. I can’t shake that feeling that some people here are pulling for me.
(INSERT THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE AND HOWLS OF SUPPORT FROM THE AUDIENCE)
“I’m delighted to see you here tonight, Hillary.”
(MORE THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE AND LAUGHTER AS HILLARY NEARLY PEE’S HER PANTS)
McCains pauses were filled with heart felt laughter.
McCain “killed”.
My FAVORITE line, and I wish that it had been Macs, was about hanging around with the thugs and the unrepentants in the Senate. I really thought that was funny.
