Slow Jamming with the Preezy
Anyone see the appearance of the leader of the free world on the Jimmy Fallon show? To call that appearance undignified for a sitting president would be an understatement. It kind of makes for one those "what was he thinking" moments. David Axelrod must have been smoking dope when he signed off on that one.
The good news for the president is that he played to a mostly empty American house since only a few hundred thousand insomniacs actually watch Fallon's show. The bad news is the RNC has already cut an ad that intersperses clips of the president's appearance with clips from Romney's speech Tuesday night. And the juxtaposition is devastating.
In that ad we see images of the president trading lines with Fallon and channeling his idea of a cool hipster. Then we see the presidential Romney addressing serious issues and saying things like how it breaks his heart that college grads aren't getting jobs. Slam dunk for Romney, with the ball smashing the president's face to smithereens.
In fairness to Obama, this sort of thing isn't completely new. Richard Nixon appeared on the popular Laugh In show back in the day, and who can forget Bill Clinton playing the sax in his Arsenio Hall gig. But Obama has taken this pop culture pandering to a new level, and quite a lower level at that. At a time when economic anxieties are uppermost on the minds of most Americans, the president's frivolous appearance with Fallon has demeaned not only himself but the dignity of the office he holds as well.
The Preezy of the United Steezy? Not if my vote means anything.
If more old, white males like you supported the President during whose administration Osama bin Laden was executed, and American enemy Qaddafy was removed from power, President Obama wouldn't have to pander to the youth vote.
Because old, white males are hypocrites and short sighted, the President must put together a coalition of voters that included the young, who are notoriously unreliable voters, hence his appearance on Fallon, and the need to scrap a college girl's smoothie off his shoe. At least she had enough respect to apologise for spilling it on him, while old, white males make no bones about slandering our President.
What's this 'pandering' thing of which you speak, Bill?
Willard of 'flip-flop' infamy certainly fits that description.
Obama/Biden 2012.
Gotcha' Gregory on Now with Alex...Why?
Stumping for his show, trying to dispell the idea that he is unfair to Democratic Party members who appear....he cuts them off and certainly doesn't give Democrats equal time.
So, what's he gonna say.......
Lies of the GOP & Tea bagger, Citizens United and all the Alec corps ( WALMART ) that pay off the Politician. Its all about the Wealthy getting richer and the middle class getting poorer.....They don't want to help the poor, I do mean the poor not the lazy good for nothings...Who are the one's that leach off the taxpayer. The Wealthy: they get welfare both for themselves an for the Corps. ...But it seems that the Wealthy get away with it ..They steal billions and the few poor steals a few thousands. So what does the GOP want, is Screw the MIddle Class to get even with the few. As I say its the me me me and F everyone else.... The failures of the Republicans party trying to take away SS & Medicare & Health care for Woman so they can give their wealthy Blackmailers more money...To hell with the Poor and Needy. Let them freeze in the winter and stave the Old and Babies,let them die from bad water, do away with the EPA and thats what you'll have, just like all you Tea baggers want...You make me sick with your Me Me Me altitude. It just a matter of time before the masses raise up against you . Greedy and you all call yourself Christians, Christains. What a laugh: Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WAKE UP
I offer a theme for the GOP campaign: Backwards, turn backwards, O time on thy bike, to the eighteen hundres, cause that`s what we like. Thanks....it`s nothing...thanks
Nice regurgitating of the talking points, faceless "Bill." Your vote does count but it still adds to the minority.
