Look at post 26. Those are “brackets”.

So many times I get caught up in the first few sentences of satire and think it is real but I kept looking for the Ha-Ha point and knew it was real. Sad................

Don’t ever underestimate the disgusting filth who now populate this country.

All Obama has to do to get reelected is to offer more goodies and handouts to non-taxpayers.

or should I say overestimate? Doesn’t matter, they are worthless chunks of trash walking among us.

Yes, and he should not be giving one second of his time (as POTUS) to frivolous, trivial matters while catastrophes are busting out abroad. Possibly his handlers decided it would have been worse if he hadn’t mentioned Japan at all.
But a casual reading of the paraphrased version might lead one to conclude that he was referring to the Japanese filling out their brackets, which is even more out-of-touch than what he actually said.

In any case, a verbatim in the video is worth two in the paraphrase. :)

And this episode with the brackets.. this is Obama’s “jump-the-shark” moment.. I firmly believe he just lost the re-election.

Just lost the re-election? I think Obama has lost his frick'n mind.

Seriously, I could care less if he plays basketball, does the NCAA tournament bracket game, plays fantasy football/baseball - whatever.
What rankles me is this clown gets a walk on all the golf, BS’n around, vacations, family vacations etc while if an R were in office even mentioning the tournament at this time would be cause for impeachment proceedings.

And ‘they’ say there is absolutely no bias....

OH yes, IMNSHO he is saying people should help the Japanese to fill out their brackets.....
Another great headline.......

Do you think that was just Obama giving a “shout out” to Japan?

Like you said “What a D$%^%#@”

“what a douche”

Just how disconnected can he be? He is embarrassing to all Americans. Republicans see it and dems ignore it. If he came into a room where I stood. I would get up and friggin’ leave. I might spit and comment on the smell that had just penetrated the air.

Gads, what a fartknocker!

Let them eat basketballs.

That's about what it adds up to. Isn't it?

Omigosh. I can’t believe the Big-Eared Evil Stoopid One actually said something this stoopid. If he weren’t so evil, he’d almost be laughable.

What a complete and utter self-obsessed pea-brained fool is this twit in the WH.

Saying this in such a way is a complete insult to Japan. It is ignoring and kicking (what very shortly will be a "formerly") good friend and ally while they are down. This is the ultimate insult to a prostrate, decent, badly suffering people for whom proper manners and "face" mean so much. He might just as well laugh at their predicament and fart in their general direction.

This little turd is simply contemptible. In extension, so are we for electing such a small, wretched little "man" as our President. I fear America will never recover from this revolting windbag and his policies.

Is this a pic of Obama trying to find the new hole that was laid out by the nuclear plant?

I like football, too. But a much higher percentage of NFL players are arrested than NBA players. They tend to be more violent.

Pencilling in your golf score is also no impediment to offering help to Japan.
