Let's have some fun with it, shall we? We shall.
He considered the "I'm rubber and your glue" defense, first.
Obama fires back at political critics
US President Barack Obama launched a mocking counter-attack Thursday at pundits who believe the euphoric early promise of his presidency is evaporating amid bitter political warfare.
Obama, who has watched his poll ratings dip sharply over recent months, drew comparisons to his 2008 presidential campaign, which was several times all but written off by media experts who set prevailing political wisdom.
All he needs is love, bop ba dadada.
"We have been through this before, in Iowa," Obama said, referring to the first state to hold a 2008 Democratic nominating contest, which saw him capture a come-from-behind win.
With Obama, you should always watch your back.
"All Washington said 'Oh, it's over,' hand-wringing angst ..."
Washington wrings its hands in Edgar Allen Pole'esk "angst"? Nevermore.
Then Obama drew parallels to the media frenzy that greeted the nomination of firebrand Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in 2008.
Poor Obama. Competition is hard on him.
"The media was obsessed with it, cable was 24 hours a day," Obama told a friendly audience of grass-roots Democratic activists at a Washington forum broadcast live over the web.
Uh, the media was "obsessed" with destroying Palin. But that meant less face time for you and that hurt, didn't it bubba?
"'Obama's lost his mojo,' you remember all that?Does mojo fall under capital gains taxes?
"There is something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee weed up!"
Note to self: Never visit DC in August or September. That sounds contagious.
Obama's counter-punch, delivered at a meeting of his Organizing for America network of supporters, follows a run of town-hall appearances and speeches, which have seen him mount a stern defense of his health care reform plan, which is facing stiff Republican attacks.Oh, his highly organized, well-funded, obnoxious grassroots people who play doctors at town hall meetings. Fine, decent people.
He told backers not to get obsessed with polls, pundits and "cable chatter" but to take aim at what he described as fabrications drummed up by opponents to doom his top domestic priority.
His ratings are tanking. So...Don't Get Obsessed! He means it. Stop Obsessing! OBSESSION NOT!!!
Oh my. Good times, good times. Every time he opens his mouth off teleprompter, I have a good day.
Robert Gibbs, WH spokesman, tries to explain the "wee weed up" statement.
"Bed wetting"? That the more "family-friendly" explanation, Gibbs said. So, the President was being crude? From his discomfort in being asked to explain, Gibbs seemed to be eluding that "wee weed up" is vulgar.
Oh, this just keeps getting worse, or better, depending on if you're Obama or if you're me.
