Obama speech tailgate party & BOHICA prep

By Doug Powers  •  September 9, 2009 04:24 PM

Shortly before Obama begins reading the teleprompter to Congress about how vitally important is for all of us to have immediate access to affordable health care… in 2013… just after the next presidential election (otherwise known as “Blame Bush, year 5″), I’ll put up a new post and live-blog the speech a bit, so join us if you’re able!

Until then, NRO’s Jim Geraghty brings us “Obama Health-Care Speech Bingo” — 25 phrases you’re likely to hear tonight, or some maybe not so much. Jim notes that this could be made into a drinking game, but it could result in alcohol poisoning, so you have been warned.

But if you really want to get trashed, do a shot every time Nancy Pelosi blinks.

Click here for a sneak preview of an Obamacare end-of-life counseling session, coming soon to one possible future near you.

    How long before Obama blames his exceedingly low approval numbers as inheriting them from Bush as well?

    I think I’ll have to pass on the Tailgate because all they ever serve is Arugula and Grape Obama Kool-Aid…

    I don’t think my local liquor store has enough alcohol to cover a “Blinky” drinking game!

    For that matter, they don’t have enough to cover every time Obama says “I” either…

    Just like wathcing the ld Bob Newheart show and downing a shot after every “Hi Bob, only on speed!

    Shot for every time Nancy blicks or Jug Ears uses “I”.

    I saw over on Hot Air’s Green Room where Obama has been credited with 263 speeches in his first 231 days in office!

    If one wants to discuss something “historic”, certainly that campaign-worthy figure seems like a great place to start. Were they all “historic” speeches, like the MSM has hyped this one up to be?

    Any bets on which AP reporter will screw up and post his/her story BEFORE the speech this time?

    I’m not taking the Pelosi blinks challenge, it’s a work night, and I have to pay my taxes (and somebodys elses too).

    But I think I will just follow along with Dougs liveblog instead of actually watching, no point in getting sick.

    From the Monty Python video:

    Classic.

    I’m sure someone can improve on that for this occasion.

    Thomas Sowell pointed that out as well. What’s the rush to pass a bill… if it doesn’t even take effect for 4 more years?! Why does it not go into effect until after the election? So it won’t screw up the health care industry until AFTER Obummer gets re-elected.

    Chaps might be coming to his senses.
    No, Dick Cheney does not define himself by his tastes in wine and cuisine but doesn’t matter.
    He is our wise, old owl.
    Just like Barney Smith, when Cheney speaks, you’d better listen.
