Dude. Stop It.

Written by  //  February 23, 2012  //  The Makeover And/Or Miscellaneous  //  29 Comments

Is it just me, or is the lounge act getting a little irritating?

Meanwhile, back in Reality, my gas cost $3.64 this morning, people are still without jobs, POTUS’ staffers would like you to think that welfare checks STIMULATE THE ECONOMY, and Republican candidates had their 30,576th debate last night and are getting pelted by the lamestream media at every turn. They call it “vetting,” I think. Something the Great Celebrity doesn’t know a thing about.

Because, hey. He can SING, y’all.

    He was on PBS? Guess I won’t be donating to them ever again.

    Rome burned and Nero fiddled.

    America is burning and Obama is singing.

    Greaaatttt…

    Maybe if he gets offered a sweet recording deal, he’ll forget about seeking reelection as POTUS? I’d even buy the albums if it kept him out of politics. Multiple copies, even. Wouldn’t listen to them, mind you, but it would be well worth the small investment to have him feeding his enormous ego in a field that has far less impact on real lives.

    Could be worse. He could be breaking out the saxophone.

    Laurel, you’re spot on!!!

  6. Herb February 23, 2012 at 12:36 pm ·

    Steve-you donated to PBS? I just let my tax dollars support them. Chicks, why would you insult lounge acts in such a way? He gives me the creeps…….

    I’m as irritated about this as I am about him, and his media lapdogs, still using the “its Bush’s fault” line three years in. $77 dollars yesterday to fill up my truck. I’m a little more than irritated.

    Turning the White House where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence into a nightclub lounge. Sickening!

  9. Elaine Benes February 23, 2012 at 12:52 pm ·

    Can’t even bear to watch it; I’d like to keep my lunch down, thank you.

  10. Christi February 23, 2012 at 1:10 pm ·

    Laurel and Doug, you rock.

  11. Laurel February 23, 2012 at 1:10 pm ·

    Tina: While I agree with your sentiments, I must point out that the Declaration of Independence was not written in the WH. The WH didn’t exist yet and neither did DC. The Declaration was written in a craptastic hotel room in Philadelphia.

    I won’t listen to it…just thinking about it made me throw up in my mouth a little bit…

    In other news, FLOTUS just issued a new memorandum that everyone must listen to hubby (HER favorite President) sing at lunchtime in every school across America, that will most certainly help with the obesity problem….

  13. Daisy February 23, 2012 at 1:23 pm ·

    Pat – I can’t bear to fill my truck up all the way. I usually get to about 3/4 of a tank, my blood pressure goes up, and I have to stop for the sake of my own health and sanity.

    GGRRR.

    You know, if he weren’t the President, it might have been kinda cute. But as my President? Heck NO.

  15. Morrell February 23, 2012 at 1:36 pm ·

    Hey Obama, don’t you want to go back to Chicago….permanently?

  16. Laurel February 23, 2012 at 2:11 pm ·

    Gas is at $4.15 per gallon here. The price varies throughout the state though.

    Get ready for massive inflation folks.

    American Idol…Sorry, you’re going home. American Idiot…..You’re through to the next round.

    Thank you Laurel :) ….My homeschooled 8yo daughter and I have been studying the time up to and including the Revolutionary War. Must admit I had forgotten too much from the 1st time..(like which document was written where and by whom) Anyway, I think of all of you COTRers every day as we study. I have actually had to stop the lesson TWICE the past 2 weeks because I got so emotional realizing that all of the things our forefathers sacrificed their entire lives for are the exact same as today! (Yes, we should be able to protect ourselves! Yes, I should be able to pack my child’s lunch as I choose. Yes, I should be able to read a flippen fairy-tale without worrying that so-and-so’s child may be too emotionally scarred! Yes, a group of Americans who truly care about the country should be able to put their own pettiness aside and come to a conclusion of what is best for the majority!!!)

    Sorry for going on but …..know that I appreciate all (well, most ;) ) of you!

    Forget Nero, Laurel – the guy smacks of Commodus even more.

    I am convinced that this man does not know what the role of the President actually is. Some days he seems to think he’s King of America, that is empowered and entrusted to lay down edicts that go unchallenged (for the benefit of his subjects, of course); other times he seems to think that he’s just a figurehead meant to be the face of America that just schmoozes with various people and has a lot of fun.

    His wife is even worse about the latter. She seems to view her husbands election akin to winning the lottery and getting an unlimited credit card. She’s just been going wild ever since. I daresay I loathe the First Lady more than I do King Barry himself. She’s a poster child for what happens to people who get free money.

    Come on, those of you complaining about paying too much for gas. Didn’t you hear what “THE ONE” said – just go buy a new Chevy Volt or maybe a Prius? Come on, aren’t you listening to him like you are supposed to be or are you a bitterly clinging to your gas guzzling, anti-environment trucks and cars????

    By the way, be sure to vote for Obama, that way we will rid this country of gas powered vehicles and force conservatives to drive those manly electric vehicles.

  21. Laurel February 23, 2012 at 2:47 pm ·

    AT: Well both were nuts….so what does that say about Obama?!

    At least Nero had the excuse of too much inbreeding…

  22. fionacat February 23, 2012 at 2:50 pm ·

    Sorry, I refuse to listen to the Idiot-in-Chief ruining a song I like. I’ll just go put in my Blues Brothers CD and listen to that instead.

  23. EmployedOkie February 23, 2012 at 2:52 pm ·

    must be an election year…

  24. angrymike February 23, 2012 at 5:06 pm ·

    Lisa, CD’s make great targets. set them out to 100 yards and have at it. Maybe they will have his face on them as well, more fun!

  25. J.R. February 23, 2012 at 6:31 pm ·

    I just threw up a little…
    who needs PBS…
    In a world with a bajillion channels,
    and I am speaking as a person who does not pay for cable or satellite, I have an antenna on my roof,
    WHO NEEDS PBS? or NPR?
    Someone else is already doing it better and they have outlived their purpose.
    Which these days is simply to promote the liberal left agenda.
    In which case they no longer need *my* tax money…

  26. Gail February 23, 2012 at 10:20 pm ·

    Umm, as to Obama’s singing, I absolutely think he SHOULD quit his day job immediately and pursue singing as a career. He is a much better entertainer than president.

  27. TimP February 24, 2012 at 12:23 am ·

    I know where the POTUS can work post presidency. He can join the Chevy Volt dancers and sing the praises of his car at every car show from Detroit to San Francisco! It’d be great!
    Yeah, it’s an old link, but it’s still proof positive of Sarah Palin’s comment about lipstick on a pig.
    Can you see our retired president rockin out on stage?

    I think he’s in full campaign mode and perhaps someone suggested to the entertainers that they talk him into singing. Having said that, I really don’t mind this. I loved seeing President Bush throw out the first ball at the baseball game. Obama can’t throw, but he’s an ok singer. It appeals to the dems and they eat it up, just as we liked seeing GW being all studly. If the singing continues, we’ll know for sure this is obama campaigning. I would much rather he were a lounge singer than president.
