The president could have used this opportunity to thoroughly embarrass the whole Republican Party.  No good deed goes unpunished.

You’re right, Strange—she is turning into a decorative Lebanese wineskin.

I don’t know, Bob. They seem to be embarrassing themselves just fine without any help.

“If you gave birth to the president of the United States, don’t you think your family would know about it?”

When a President is born, the Great Mullah Geller teaches us, instantly, the family members of all those in attendance know that this has happened.

The fact that no family member of the doctor remembers such a psychic feeling is proof that Obama in fact never was born, but is actually the Highlander.

Thanks for remembering that one, Betty. That means I can save my “Joe-Pesci-in-drag” line for a future post!

“If you gave birth to the president of the United States, don’t you think your family would know about it?”

On the other hand, the whole “Future President” thing was probably overshadowed by the “big” story that a middle-aged White male Hawaiian doctor had given birth to a Black baby.

I agree StrangeAppar8us and I wasn’t implying Obama should have done anything different.  I’m just astonished at what ingrates the Wingnuts are.

I’m right there with you, Bob, and no criticism intended.

As much as many of us wish he had stepped up to the podium yesterday and opened his remarks with the words “And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers,” the fact that he never breaks out of “only-adult-in-the-room” character is what really fucks with the Racist Brain.

So, no, he’ll never get any credit for keeping his Presidential cool, but it’s fun to watch the assholes squirm even harder because he talks to them like they’re pants-pooping 2-year-olds.

And the one occasion he did display anger (over the mega oil spill), it was all “OMG scary angry black Prez is going to mug all White people to go and buy crack! Because he’s Black and he’s angry, aiieeeee!”

Now, now.  A lot of people are Lebanese until graduation.

Man, all my sense of humor about this is getting completely eaten away. It was funny yesterday, that Obama had punked the GOP into publicly embracing a bunch of fucking raving lunatics as their base. But the stupidity and assholatry just keeps piling up higher and higher.  :(

“If you gave birth to the president of the United States, don’t you think your family would know about it?”

Il est ne le divine enfant!

fReichtard accusations that Obama thinks he’s a messiah are 110% projection.

For the most part I’ve stopped listening to NPR but just now the host on NPR just said that the president is “naturalized.”  I give up.

I love that Obama did this.

Hold the mirror up to America, its racist, bullshit media, and the hateful Republican Party.

Make ‘em all sit in the shitty mess they made.

He was the edituh of the Hawvid Larr Review. Can we see an awticul that he published?

Well, Pammy, since it’s Harvard Law Review policy that no article is attributed to any student, that would be a no, as you could have found out in thirty seconds of using the Googles. But then, you’d have really wanted to know. My new policy is to reply “Magna Cum Laude, Sugar Cube!” to any and all inquiries, since nothing will appease them, and “beeyotch,” the response of choice, just looks weird when I type it.

How dare you make fun of the way we tawk out heah? Next I bet you’ll be sockpuppeteering around the internet with a pseudonym that is itself partly a mockery of our regional accent. 

How heartening to see, though, that Geller is taking up Lambert’s concerns about Obama’s academic record since none of the access bloggers will. Missing media narrative or something. ““Thanks,” “Progressives!””

If he was so goddam smart, why wasn’t he Summa Cum Laude? Huh? Huh?!?!?!?!?

Srsly where does the party of the C+ Augustus get off snarking about anyone’s academic achievements?

Mercy…
