“They’re counting on, that you all forgot!” Mr. Obama said to laughs. “They think that they can run the okey-doke on ya, bamboozle ya.”

I think he’s all “wee-wee’d” up again.

He sounds more like someone from “Hee-Haw” than the ghetto, thug, communist that he is.

Communist, yes, but The 0ne is neither ‘ghetto’ nor ‘thug.’ Those are just masks that 0 puts on to ensure his street cred. In another day and age, he’d be just another Oreo.

Okey-Doke is what a normal person might say if asked, "Wanna nother beer?"

What he means by using that term must be some kinda code.

Yeah, I’d really like to know how a dolt who doesn’t even know what car insurance covers is allowed to graduate from a school like Harvard (other than the obvious answer.):

Actually, I think he’s just a total moron who meant to say “rope a dope” and instead came up with “okey-doke.”

Don’t know how you can make that kind of mistake (especially if you’re ostensibly a black man), but that’s what I thought when I first read the quote.

Someone on the WH staff must've looked at the demographics and set the teleprompter on "peeps." I wonder if it reads "ya" or "you"...

I heard another clip of Hussein this morning and noted that the malignant chameleon had also trotted out his hilarious (to me) "William Shatner-esque" inflection. Even his insincerity is phony.

Obongo is channeling his hero Malcolm X. I’ll bet you anything he read Malcolm X’s autobiography when he was young. I read it myself——>>>

An unlikely echo

Carrie Budoff Brown noticed a rather off-message echo in Obama’s stump speech last week, and writes that Obama added to his stump speech in South Carolina several lines that echoed a speech attributed to Malcolm X.

“They’re trying to bamboozle you,” Obama said for the first time Wednesday in Sumter, S.C., to a predominantly African American crowd while refuting e-mails falsely identifying him as a Muslim. “Don’t let people turn you around because they’re just making stuff up. That’s what they do. They try to bamboozle you, hoodwink you.”

Obama repeated those lines frequently as he traveled around the state.

The lines echo the best-known version of the Malcolm X speech, which comes from Spike Lee’s biopic. It’s a stinging address full of blunt racial division, which warns blacks about being “hoodwinked” and “bamboozled” by “the white man.”

He thinks the Pubbies are counting on the electorate forgetting? I think that’s projection, a wee bit.

The news has to be managed carefully now until November so that he electorate forgets or does not see what is going down!

Okeedokee?

BILLY(Spoken)
Roxie, you got nothing to worry about.
It's all a circus, kid. A three ring circus.
These trials- the wholeworld- all show business.
But kid, you're working with a star, the biggest!

(Singing)
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle Dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bead and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?

What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?

Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll never catch wise!

Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle

BILLY AND COMPANY
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous

BILLY
Row after row will grow vociferous

BILLY AND COMPANY
Give 'em the old flim flam flummox
Fool and fracture 'em

BILLY
How can they hear the truth above the roar?

COMPANY
Roar, roar, roar!

BILLY AND COMPANY
Throw 'em a fake and a finagle
They'll never know you're just a bagel,

BILLY
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll beg you for more!

BILLY AND COMPANY
Give 'em the old double whammy
Daze and dizzy 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-lah

Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance

Though you are stiffer than a girder
They'll let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a romance

COMPANY(The same time as BILLY's)
Give 'em the old
Razzle Dazzle

BILLY
Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorcerer you are
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you've got no talents?
Razzle Dazzle 'em

BILLY AND COMPANY
Razzle Dazzle 'em
Razzle Dazzle 'em

And they'll make you a star!

Here it is in the Urban Dictionary from back to 2003:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=okey%20doke

Doesn’t seem to be an entry, in the way he used it, in traditional dictionaries.

I guess Mr. X was too sophisticated to use the term okey Doke.

If only Reagan could have been this eloquent.
“Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall and everything will be okey dokey.”

I guess his vocabulary is bigger than the dictionary.
He’s a regular Shakespeare.

It’s laughable (and the world IS laughing at us) that we have “Stymie” in the White House; non-eligible slug from the Diversity Deluge shoved up our asses under Political Correctness. IF this clown were white, would he be in the same position?

Not the first time for him..

"Obama's references to "the okey doke" seemed to baffle some commentators, although it's an old American (especially African-American) term for a feint, a juke, a balletic sidestep that dodges the direct attacks of an opponent and instead turns his own arguments and momentum against him.

Obama was a “professor” at the University of Chicago Law School.
