Hooray! Mr. Obama for president of Sweden! Right away! Hic.

[sysadmin12439]

I'm almost back to sober, now. What a speech, huh?

[Tom Joad]

Oddly, the National Enquirer has a front page story about 'Obama's Drunken Whitehouse Parties'...

....Coincidence?

[Roseberry]

I love Obama, but that "Make no mistake" phrase really has me overanalyzing from here to da moon. Does it mean we are making mistakes?
Does it mean he is worried we are?
Does it mean he thinks we could?

[dawlishgal]

My son and I watched, and we wished we had some beer so we could swill some every time Boehner tried to remain seated, and the forced himself to stand up just so he wouldn't prove to everybody what a passive-aggressive jerk he is.

[Roseberry]

Boehner is from my district, and my mom and I have bets going as to when his fake tan or fake oversprayed hairdo finally reveal themselves as fake.
All we gotta do is pray really hard for a hard rain to fall on his lil' head just before a photo op! Come on, everbody, join in!

[ReedYoung]

water balloons

[redstrat]

I sure hope you'll get out and vote in Nov.

[BitterCling]

You forgot two shots every time he says "uhhh."

[Renee Libby]

One of the drinking words should have been " tax cut" - but who knew?

[Sergeant]

And spending freeze.

[jw10885]

Awesome.

[Sarge0311]

How many drinks when he blames Bush for EVERYTHING?

That alone would get most people drunk.

[Kuuba]

I think there was enough drinking during the Bush years by a good majority of the U.S.

[3in1]

Why are obama's lips getting darker? Is it C-Span?

[Pema]

could be he is still smoking. it cuts the blood flow off. when i quit my lips brightened up a lot.

[ckfan]

Some of us like his lips. . . ooops, don't tell hubby!

[debbytennis]

All of you who thought it was a good speech must have been drunk out of your minds. The O was all about platitudes and talking points. He is a failure and those that voted for him acted like you were voting for a high school president who promises better food in the cafe, less homework etc. Grow up and let the manchild president know that he is a bully who calls out the supreme court knowing they cannot respond. Whines about how hard the job is...MAN UP!!! You asked for it so either resign or stop the whining and blaming everyone else.

[BowlingForRevenge]

Manchild president? Bully? Platitudes and talking points?
Taking a time machine trip back to Jan.2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007 & 2008 must have been fun

[Pema]

awesome s/n

[AAYF]

Jealous much???

[KristinNoelle]

Every speech contains a list of talking points...that's how they are organized. Without them, the speech would be POINTLESS (see any speech by GWB). So your little attempt at an insult failed.

[SouthpawSass]

I played the game Passout once as a kid - didn't pass out, but boy did I get sick. Ugh.

[SouthpawSass]

Clarification: "kid" defined as 18 years old... I guess I wasn't much of a kid.

[UpFromLiberalism]

someone threw in a new rule to the game

for every time barry referred to himself TAKE 1 SHOT

the designated driver said it was 132 times

we ranout of liquor in very short order

[The last sane American]

Funny how often that one letter comes up.

And he does not get it!

[alumtrix]

we played Obama bingo instead of the drinking game. you get the picture.

[KriTiKiT]

it was a bust for me not even a buzzz
