We’ll see how long this pledge lasts. As part of his New Year’s resolutions, conservative talk host Glenn Beck returned from the holidays with a new policy: no one can mention President Obama anymore on his show.
“Anybody who brings him up, besides me, is fired,” Beck said of the new policy. Astonished by the severity, co-host Stu Burguiere asked if staffers could get by with just mentioning that “the president said,” to which Beck said it would be evaluated on a “case-by-case basis.”
Instead choosing to refer to the president as “that man” or “that guy,” Beck explained the very loose definition of what counts as “mentioning” the president in his mind. After much back and forth with his colleagues, Beck said:
“You can allude to him. You can play Joe Biden. But I don’t want to hear the man’s voice. I don’t want to hear him. I don’t want to know about him. You want that information? Go any place else. There’s thousands of outlets, you can have all the information you want. I am not talking about that man.”
Burguiere joked that Obama is now like the villainous Harry Potter character Voldemort in that the novel’s protagonists referred to the evil wizard as “he who shall not be named.”
“Why summons that?” Beck said. “You’re just asking for trouble. Why bring that on? Don’t speak his name.”

You betcha! He, the NOT welcomed.
CLICK.
LOL. Well, times flies. I did watch the debates, but husband did NOT.
Same in our house, my hubby refers to him as the Kenyan, I simply call him the Marxist.
Good on you.
He’s the TOTUS, but we don’t have to look at him or listen to him.
I get my news here.
I just call him FUBO
I can’t post what my husband calls him, but like you, I call him the Marxist...LOL.
Now it would be worthwhile if the ban applied also to Beck.
“... can’t post what my husband calls him...”
Same here. We eventually had to switch what we normally call him (our six year old picked up quite the salty language).

ROTFL.. Six year old’s are very cute and very wise! That’s f-u-n-n-y!
They can just do as Robert E. Lee did during the Civil War.
Call them “Those People.”
B Wacky INsane0?
Seeing or hearing him makes me feel ill.
Me too and I’m sick that we have 4 more years to endure, unless there’s Divine Intervention.
Keep praying.
The big eared Marxists in Chief...that’s what I say sometimes.
Your house, too? Mrs. Vigilanteman has declared that not only the mute button shall be used when BO appears on screen, but the channel shall be changed or the set shall be turned off. She can tolerate the POS even less than me . . . another reason I love her.
How about Merda?
My other name is son of a commie w——, but that’s sort of crude for a woman to say too often in front of her husband.
I turn off the TV or switch channels whenever his face is shown, his voice comes on or some fool news commentator starts talking about him. I never turn on local news until it has been on for about 12 minutes then Obama kissing is over.
