Obama: “Everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee’d up”
I shouldn’t even explain the quote, I ought to just leave it like it is.
“There’s something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee’d up,” noted President Barack Obama on Thursday. “I don’t know what it is, but that’s what happens.”
Something indeed. In what had to make the President feel just a bit wee-wee’d up himself, Obama set out yesterday to sell his health insurance reform plans to liberals and conservatives.
He started his day by having a 25-minute conversation with conservative radio talk show host Michael Smerconish. The two went over a range of topics, mostly about health care, and then Obama fielded questions from callers. Smerconish, talking about the interview with Chris Matthews on MSNBC, said that there was no interference from the White House as far as which questions would be fielded.
Then the President had to shed his bipartisan coat and attend to a Democratic National Committee rally with his party’s base. Obama played the role of entertainer, heckling G.O.P. tactics in the health care debate.
“Look, we know where these lies are coming from. If you just flick channels and then just stop on — certain ones — then you’ll see, you know, you’ll see who’s propagating this stuff,” said Obama in a clear reference to Fox News.
The President even criticized talk radio, even though just hours earlier he had done a session with a conservative talk radio host.
“Unfortunately, Washington is obsessed with the snap poll … what’s said on talk radio,” said Obama.
Obama left the event to cheers of “Yes We Can,” a common rally cry for Obama supporters.
I’m not even going to lie you guys/gals, I didn’t have too much of a reason to put this all in a post. But when you get a quote like that it’s worth making a post for.
You guys ready for the weekend?

Its Friday and I’m wee-wee’d up. Nothing better like getting wee-wee’d up on the wee-weekend cause I’m wee-wee’d out :)
