I think President Obama is tired of this motherfucking Congress on this motherfucking Capitol Hill

[tzikeh]

Holy shit.

If you can't see the embedded video, you can watch it here. (Around 4:15, 4:30 is when lasers start shooting out of his eyes, and it just gets better from there.)

Why haven't any other Presidents spoken like this about their proposals?!?!

(omg President Obama you can come here and scold me too....)

ETA:
tzikeh: Watch this, and love your president. LOVE HIM.
carlascribbles: I don't love him that way, is the thing.
tzikeh: umm, trust me. I want him to come take me to task now.
carlascribbles: I am just not down with fancying real-life heads of the state, is the thing. Or anyone with, like, Constitution-based superpowers who probably googles himself on a regular basis. Although, I have to say.

EATA:

Part II of the speech. If you can't see this, it's here.

I don't think I've ever watched a president scold Congress Not like this, anyway. I love this. I love him.

EDIT: I'm watching/listening to the second part of this. Forget scolding...a president who speaks English? A president who can "preach"? Never thought I'd see it.

They should, more often -- but they have to have the confidence that he has in their ability to speak well, smartly, precisely, and with force behind it. He is THE MAN. And this should be required viewing for every citizen. In plain English, with no political obfuscation, what, exactly, it is he wants to do, and why Congress is full of shit.

Do your lj comments also go directly to twitter?

[hubbit.livejournal.com]

No. Just a nerdy twitter-joke. :) (I think I'd have a difficult time keeping lj comments down to 140 characters without running out in the m

That was incredible. He was so passionate and wonderful. Awesome speech.

Most excellent subject line!

I saw this earlier. The words HOT and DAMN come to mind.

In my mind's happy place, he totally has a DVD compilation of Laura Roslin's speeches which he watches for research.

*whimper* This, *this* is my president. And I want the motherfucking Congress off of my motherfucking Capitol Hill, too, man. I can. not. listen to them. But then, that's nothing new. *sigh*

And this is why he still has a nearly 70% approval rating while Congress does NOT.

Yes!

Until this election season, Laura may have been my favorite politician since Barbara Jordan.

"They say that this isn't a stimulus bill, it's a spending bill. Well, what do you think a stimulus bill is?"

1) Love. HIM.
2) Hate Congress so FRAKKING MUCH.

Or, to be fair, the parts of Congress that are holding up this entire thing. Have you seen the list of stuff they've been trying to cut? MONEY FOR EDUCATION AND FEEDING THE HUNGRY. Jesus Herbert Christ aren't they at least supposed to PRETEND to not be evil?

Did you happen to see the "Samuel Jackson, Snakes on a Plane" version? From blackfolk via metaquotes. Is excellent :-D
