I think the favorite saying right now is "shovel ready" when describing job creation. Of course, if a mid-level executive making the (soon to be or almost-illegal) sum of $150k per year was laid off, is he really looking for a job slinging dirt for $15.00 an hour?

Another good one is "the blame stops with me, I'm responsible." of course, what this really means is that some low-level staffer who failed to route the memo correctly will soon be out on his ass, probably looking for a shovel ready job.

Please feel free to include you favorites!

Hopeychangey?

I feel like i've heard him say, "we've got a long road ahead of us" alot. Also, "this will not be an easy fix".

How about - 'Uh, uh, uh' ?

"The fundamentals of the US economy are sound...."

:rolling eyes emoticon:

To the IRS:

"Oh, you mean I am supposed to pay taxes on that money?"

I'm thinking you must be a "Homeland" terrorist just for bringing up this subject... How dare you even think that you don't have to pay taxes on taxes and shouldn't give what's left to someone else who needs it more!!! Ha!

"Transparency." Everything is going to be done with transparency.

Maybe a little more opacity is needed, some of this stuff is like watching them make sausage.

"Here, have a few Billion, the taxpayers will never notice...."

Did I mention that I inheritied this mess.

I won get over it.

I bring Hope(tm)and Change(tm)

Hey look Mom, I'm on TV again and no one can stop me. I love seeing myself on TV. I think I will reserve 8:00pm Tuesdays for the rest of my administration (nxt 4 years).

It's not my fault!

What I meant to say was...

Look Maw, I'm on TV!

When you can no longer afford to drive your cars, you had best be "shovel ready" to clean up after your horse!

These pretzels........are making me thirsty!!

There was shrinkage !!!

CUT! Where's that teleprompter fixer guy? Oh, we're live?

I'm sure all of you would do a much better job

Honestly, I know I could do AS good a job. I've got as much experience

But, we didn't run for President on empty promises and lies (so far), he did.

Enough apologies and excuses for this flawed man.

Ok, now I am laughing harder than I have in a long time.

Obama just said that the status quo between Israel and Palestine is not sustainable. Pardon me? It goes back to before the US even existed, but it's not sustainable?

I do not think that word means what he thinks it means!

All Hail the perfect BOL posters!!! ::bows down::

Noone is claiming to be perfect. Well, except MAYBE Obama. I think that's more of Obamites claiming Obama is perfect.

I know I'm a better public speaker than him, I haven't said "uh" in a speech in over 4 years, and I give a lot of speeches. Anyway, back to the topic, how could I forget this favorite new saying:

uh, uh, uh

Isn't saying something like that part of what got McCain defeated?

Point at which I turned off the "press conference" - where he "explained" how it's not fair that he (President Obama) gets a larger tax benefit for a deduction as a result of being in a higher marginal tax bracket than another tax payer who is in a lower marginal tax bracket. At first I thought, hey, this is great - maybe he'll actually see some benefits of a flat tax...

Nope, just pure redistributivism. You see, it's all the government's money, anyway, so when I get a tax deduction, I shouldn't get any more of a tax deduction than anyone else. The fact that I'm paying higher taxes is irrelevant.

Point at which I should have turned off the "press conference" - With that, I'll take some questions, I have a list here, Jennifer...Jennifer are you here? Ah, there you are, Jennifer, yes.
