Barack Obumble

"That's what I said."

Thanks to Manuel, who I imagine, due to my hateful prejudices, to look and speak exactly like "El Guapo" in Three Amigos.

Would I say he sends me a plethora of tips? Oh, yes. Si si. A plethora.

21 Listen Mr. One Sir, we can write the stories no problem. We can make you another Jesus if we need to. But you still need to actually gives us sound bites to get started with, coherent ones, please. Please talk to your campaign manager about this, he knows how to get these things going but we can't actually do the whole thing ourselves. That would be unethical or something, and we would miss happy hour at The Press Club.

43 The stolid/stupid look at the end is from his training as a media darling. Since he holds his head still, they can cut/edit that part out and make it look like he was the SMOOV operator he contends.

"Freddy May" -- what a maroon.

Isn't 8 years of mangled syntax enough?

He's just so un-presidential, and that's not "code" for black. It's "code" for him looking like a confused 17 year old who just said "titties" out loud in class during a speech. I mean, yeah, the girl in the front row has a nice rack and all, but move along, junior.

52 Who hear hasn't been in Bambi's position when speaking in front of a group? I know I have. That's why it makes this clip so damn funny. You can see what's going on between those well-proportioned ears - "dammit - think Barry, think".

Bambi has nothing on W. when it comes to sounding not so bright. The problem is that the media and comedians won't share his gift of gaffe with the world.

A word of advise Barry, find a Toastmasters meeting somewhere and brush up on your impromptu speaking.

What a tool. I watched a clip of this on CNN and he blames it all on eight years of blah, blah, blah. I would have hope for this country if the people actually knew where the balance power lay. Half the f-ing idiots in this country that can vote no doubt think that the President can just decree laws. They may actually see this reality if this tool is elected and something 9/11-ish happens. Do they really think that if Congress passes a law the President can just say, "Screw this b.s., I do what I want."

59 Actually, that was his screen test for Home Alone 5: Lost In Translation. The plot is somewhat thin in that Barry tries to protect his home from Karl Rove and Sarah Palin. Dreamworks has given it a 700 million dollar budget. Directed by Oliver Stone, written by Tina Fey. Critics have already given it 5 stars. Insiders predict a box office of 6 billion, but movie theater owners predict a box office of 75 cents.

60 I think instead of "Change" the new Obama slogan should be *blink*

And while I've stepped on my tongue plenty in public speaking, I don't think I've ever done something like transpose the names of the two biggest fuck ups dominating the news over the last few weeks, and then have 5 seconds of babbling to correct myself. Then, the coup de grace, "That's what I said."

Sex machine indeed.

I run a teleprompter at a tv station. He's probably got an ear-piece in (an IFB) that is allowing someone (Axelrod?) to talk to him in his ear- that's what you see reporters fussing with when they do a talk back to the studio from out in the field. It can be configured to hear anyone- another anchor, the producer, a director, whoever. The trick is (and it is a skill) is to be able to read the teleprompter, listen to what the person in your ear is saying and make the appropriate requested changes while you're talking.

Axelrod is screaming in his ear, and he has to stop and listen. Hence the pause.
