Obama's Tired of Playing With You
Political news is kind of funny this week, mostly as regards the Stimulus Package (or, as I like to think of it when you call something like that a "Stimulus Package", America's Hot New Cock. Or the Bulging Jean Pocket. Or the Exciting Sac. Or the Happy-Fun Twig and Berries).
What I'm getting a kick out of this week is how, when the media says Obama is being "stern" or "changing tact" or leaving behind "charm", it so greatly contrasts what he's doing in the footage that usually follows these edicts. Usually the media is negligent in the sense that they are overly sensationalist. This week, however, they seem to be trying to find non-sensational ways to say, "Obama is yelling at us and we're scared."
Have you seen any of this footage? It's awesome:
Every line he used in this speech could have had the word "motherfuckers" where a period would go and it would have captured his meaning perfectly, I think. Obama got real black real quick, I'd say.*
(Look at the "chunks" that they scroll across the bottom of the screen while he's talking, and then listen to what he's saying. It's hilarious.)
The Senate is all like:
"We don't understand why you're doing this now..."
And Obama's all like:
"Fuck this teleprompter, I got this.
I'ma put it like this: quit with the fucking games.
I know it's a lot of money. And I'm moving quickly because I got shit to do.
My people are working around the clock, motherfuckers."
The Senate is like:
"But we're already crunched right now with debt..."
And Obama's like:
"First of all, this deficit was here when I walked in the door, motherfuckers,
and some of y'all punk asses put it there. 90% of y'all wouldn't know what a food stamp looks like,
so shut the fuck up and pass the thing already, pussies.
I know it's a lot of money, dumb-asses; that's how the fuck you stimulate shit.
You don't jack up shit with a cigarette tax, ho.
What do you think a stimulus is?"
And the Senate is like:
"But, but, but..."
And Obama's like:
"Look: I'm going to go back to my office now, gonna' have some lunch with a goddamned
world leader or something, and when I come back? There better be some asses in seats
and some goddamned vote clickers popping off in this motherfucking club.
I listened to Public Enemy and Malcom X speeches all the way into work today,
so if you think I'm pissed now, keep playing with my emotions,
you crusty-ass Senate-sittin' tricks.
Make it fucking happen."
If he's doing this for the next four years on everything he cares about - and he cares about a lot of things - we are all in for a fun ride.
* - He really picks up steam after about 4:30. Even if you voted for McCain you got to love it.
EDIT:
Someone who commented sent me this link. It's Obama reading the audio for one of his books.
If you dug this post, you'll love this link.
