Here Willy, you take the ball. I'm off to a party!
Dec 11, 2010
Here’s what I’ll say: I’ve been keeping the First Lady waiting for about half an hour, so I’m gonna take off. You’re in good hands.
Granted, this made for kind of a surreal scene in the White House briefing room: our current President brings in a relatively popular ex-President in order to promote extending the tax policies of a relatively unpopular ex-President. The video shows Barry hand the ball over to Bubba and then promptly leave the room to go hit a Christmas party.
Critics naturally are going batty over this, some suggesting our Dear Leader merely wants to be a ceremonial King, rather than deal with the hard duties of being President.
Rest assured, that’s not the case, and our Dear Leader has the situation completely under control! Again, you must always temper your first impressions of videos like this with the undisputed fact that Barry is incredibly sharp, possessing a cerebral capacity that few outside of the main stream media can fully comprehend. Leaving Bill Clinton alone in the briefing room to serve as a de-facto Obama spokesman was actually a shrewd political tactical strategy on Barry’s part, one that went over almost everyone’s head.
Think about it! Hillary is rumored to be contemplating making a run for the White House in 2012, but with images of Bill comfortably back in the symbolic power position with Barry, a run for President means Hillary wouldn’t just be running against her current boss, but she’d be running against her husband as well. Brilliant!
Of course, having Bubba man the podium and push Obama’s tax bill compromise helps Barry deflect some of the flack he’s getting from his own party. But that’s secondary!
Also, keep in mind that our Dear Leader is clearly a man under a lot of stress right now. We should all be grateful to have someone like Bubba willing and able to take on some of the heavy lifting of the Presidency, so that we can get Barry back in front of the eggnog pitcher, STAT! This should be very beneficial to both his demeanor and, of course, maintaining his beautiful relationship with Michelle. Let’s just hope they left some booze for Bubba!
