… what with Barry’s lesbian-oral-sex joke about Michelle going viral …
Of course, the CNN bimbette here is absolutely desperate to spin this as Barack being “blindsided” by the reaction to his “scripted” comment.
Yes, really.

Thought the joke was that Obama is the president. Pretty obvious really.
Heh.
Seriously, what man (and I use the term loosely) makes his wife the punchline of an oral sex joke at a fundraiser? If I were Michelle, I’d give him a black eye.
I worry about the White House china
Barry’s eye or limbs? Not so much.
One of the only times I know I actually have some sympathy for M’chelle.
“If I were Michelle, I’d give him a black eye.”
– leigh. wouldn’t that be redundent?
It depends on what shade of pancake make-up he’s wearing, BBH.
– I worry about the WH being forclosed on, and moved to China.
A fish rots from the head down:
When an organization or state fails, it is the leadership that is the root cause.

Romney can just buy it and stop building and annoying his gay pot-smoking neighbors in La Jolla.
– Ok….now why did fish come up in this conversation?
(Smack!)…..Whhhhaaaatt?….Oh, sorry.
– leigh, We San Diegans are laughing our butts off at that NYTrash article. Its so misrepresentitive it might as well be a story on King Penguins or something.
– The Lefturd media have truly sold their souls.
To be honest, I think I do see him realizing that they’re laughing at something he didn’t intend.
He’s really going to intentionally make a joke about his wife going down on another woman? Really?
Nah. The audience — his supporters — are worthy of some scorn here but that’s about it.
I used to live in Sunset Cliffs, BBH, about 25 years ago. I love San Diego.
That story is total bullshit, other than there are gays and pot-smokers in it.
He’s teh stoopid, bh. I can totally see him doing it on purpose. She’s not there and he’ll look “hip”.
For just such a President was the phrase beclown coined.
Nah, I’m not buying it, leigh.
That’s okay, bh. Why couldn’t he come up with a clumsy save, I wonder?
Probably because he’s a ‘tard.
As best I can tell he’s not blindsided by his own remarks, he’s blindsided by the fact that his supporters think so little of him that they find it immediately plausible that the President of the United States is making a carpet munching joke about his wife.
Which is worse?
– The Left may be setting itself up for a whackback, chasing this obvious “He’s not a man of the people” meme.
– Mittens defenders can always counter with “Its good to have a prez with his own bank…..not so easily bought off or bribed like say, a Chicago organizer”.
I think I do see him realizing that they’re laughing at something he didn’t intend.
yea let’s talk to “genital/future genital communists about “going down” with pause
Which is worse?
the grifter knows he can take their money when he loses.
I am with bh here, I think he was blind-sided by how juvenile his audience is.
Too bad he is probably too shallow to consider what that implies.
We’re here at pw, nr.
Putting quotation marks around “going down” doesn’t get the job done.
Nah, he was making a stupid girls-cheat-on-pushups-and-can’t-throw-a-baseball joke. They took it a different way because they’re pieces of shit and they know he’s also a piece of shit.
Doesn’t mean he actually meant what they laughed at.
This was scripted? I can see the dimwit saying something like this on the spur of the moment, but this is another great example of what a bunch of idjits O’bumble has surrounded himself with. “She didn’t go all the way down”? What? Has he got a bunch of certified eunuchs writing his speeches that they didn’t get the double entendre in this?
And considering his narcissistic tendencies — not to mention Moochelle’s inclinations — would we be surprised if he had surrounded himself with certifiable eunuchs?
The “harem guard” would be a great appellation for O’bumble’s White House staff, but who knew it might be true?
If these remarks are scripted then he has writers, who are with words, designing the emperor’s new clothes.
Some speechwriter is now in possession of a one way bus ticket home.
They took it a different way because they’re pieces of shit and they know he’s also a piece of shit.
This, I can totally see happening. Things have really come to a pretty pass, haven’t they?
It was a LGBT audience and Ellen is “L”. There is no way the writers didn’t know that the joke was in there and would be heard. Whether Barack knew? I don’t think he did till the reaction came. Like I say emperor’s new clothes.
So now I want to see him do some pushups. We already know he can’t throw a baseball.
I’ve never heard “didn’t go all the way down” as an oral sex joke, Geoff. It doesn’t even make sense to me. I’ve heard “doesn’t go down”.
Besides, the immediate sentence before that, he specifically references push ups. Women doing poor push-ups is a trope I have actually heard before and it fits perfectly in context.
We shall have to disagree then.
I see it as the writers trying to slip a joke to their “sophisticated so much more intelligent audience” that would obviously fly right over the heads of the ‘tea-baggers’ like tea-bagger did.
Moochelle has never gone down town for Obama. So if it was intended as a joke, she wouldn’t get it.
She might make him go down town…but now there is not enough bleach in the world to clear that image.
Remember the episodes of Beavis and Butthead where they end up laughing at things like the teacher saying Uranus?
Saying Uranus isn’t actually a double entendre. The fact that Beavis and Butthead hear it as one is the joke.
That’s what happened here.

My husband was totally out of the loop of this bit. I played it for him with no introduction and starting strictly with his remarks.
His reaction was Barry knew exactly what was going on. The “innocent I didn’t really intend that?” Hubby said, “Johnny Carson and his innocent mid-western boy stance couldn’t have delivered that pregnant pause better.”
carpet munching jokes after the wisconsin fist(ing).
“the fish rots”
I want to say to Michelle — girlfriend, remember, hit him where the bruises won’t show.
That’s cool. Hell, his own supporters thought he was making a skeezy joke about his wife.
Can’t say I’m super motivated to argue against their own opinion of the man.
peggy nutcase
This isn’t the usual—this is something different. A special counsel may be appointed.
And where is the president in all this? On his way to Anna Wintour’s house. He’s busy. He’s running for president.
But why? He could be president now if he wanted to be.

“Where the bruises don’t show”? That would be pretty much anywhere, wouldn’t it?
Okay, I denounce myself.
he was making a skeezy joke about his wife.
why? to make money with the lgbtdwarf crowd? falling apart at hyperspeed.
That would be pretty much anywhere, wouldn’t it?
check st. trayvon’s™ knuckles
That pause is also the beat you’d take after saying your wife cheated on pushups, D.
You take a beat even after weak jokes in a speech.
I mean, who would know if Moochelle gave him a fat lip?
Okay, okay, I’m a bad person. but at least I get a double entendre….
She could box his ears, they’re hard to miss.
– My guess is it wasn’t scripted because he has a history of wandering off at moments when he wants to look hip, which I would imagine gives his speech writers ulcers.
– He is addressing and audiance of arrested developement paste eaters, whose lives revolve around out of the mainstream sexual activties, and who would LOVE any reproachmon that shows he’s one of them. How can you be a deviant if your prez shows his approbation. I can understand their desperate need for that, and there willingness to go for any little “code joke”, in anticipation. Its what the Left always does.
– But I think he didn’t mean to throw them any bones. It looks like he took a few beats to catch on to their reaction. He looks genuienly puzzeled for a moment, and then the dawn.
– Whats scary is these people actually vote.
You could say that of most of his supporters, athletic and otherwise….
Oh, “athletic supporter”, that’s almost as juvenile as “doesn’t go all the way down”. Did anyone miss the double entendre there?
– I think we all got the gist Swen.
They did. He vetted this speech as much as any other. To say none. So he didn’t have a clue about what he was reading. That’s how you get ‘corpseman’ ‘profit to earnings ratios’ and all the other weird shit that passes his tongue. He’s a gifted prompter reader (talking head) who doesn’t even bother to preview what he’s about to say.
Don’t forget his bashing of opponents… “just words.”
Odds on the prompter having a {pause} directional for the talking head after every supposed laugh line? 100%. Odds on his understanding even 1/10th of what the teleprompter words mean? 5%.

how’s golf?
Excellent. Played today. I got elected Pres of the Ladies Golf Assoc at our club. Not sure if that is excellent or not. The guys play cat fights and dog fights but I don’t think cat fight means what they think it means… and I think I’m gonna find out shortly. I f’kn hate womyn.
Oh, and K set a new personal best of 77. Beating my ass 9 ways to Sunday now.
I have been trying to read and stay current on blogs and not commenting much. Better on the blood pressure.
good luck to you. me trying to grow stuff. know what you mean.
Best of luck on the growings – may your crop be bountiful.
BTW CMT has a Carrie Underwood/Steven Tyler concert on from the Superbowl Fan Jam. Not sure if I likey or not. Her outfit is worth a look alone, though. Or so the hubby says. Ain’t nothing Tyler could wear that would be worth a look. Maybe a grocery sack?
I suspect that Michelle already knows that Obama is a self absorbed dumb shit who wrecks everything he touches and primarily lives off of the proceeds of creepy union favors and a book he never wrote.
Michelle is living the good life while she can, hence all her trips. Of course, former presidents never seem to lack for funds, so they will be wealthy for the rest of their lives.
Astronomers have discovered a new planet in our solar system. The planet called Maianus is 20% larger than Uranus and disturbingly lumpy.
“Disturbingly hairy” might have been funnier. Or just “quite a bit cleaner ” ? I dunno.
– Maianus is in pretty good shape, but that telescope makes Uranus look fat.
Yes, but she knows he can pull off the okey-doke. Hell, she’s living in the White House, isn’t she?
They’re both living off of us, you might notice.
Ha ha wow.
My friends and I come up with better and much more salacious material off the cuff, even unintentionally.
Obabo, why do you even fail at innuendo.
I am getting less and less patient and even less and less and now even less. I cannot believe how impatient I am getting. Here’s the thing. I do not want to hear Obama to begin with and yet it is claimed he said something of interest. The same thing is claimed here and here and here in the echo chambers of my quotidian perusals and in each instance I say, no, no, no, okay fine then. And what happens? They do not get on with it right off so I can get right off it right off, no, rather, some twat I already avoid is banging on about something, setting up the voice I’ve actively avoided 4 years, and the voice inside says, “Get out! Get out! Run like the wind!” and I resist that urge and force myself to stay with it and then an advertisement pops up that covers a portion of the content that I only barely wanted to see in the first place and now I wonder, “Why do people do that?” This is an honest question, why do people jack with their own content so sorely? Are pennies shifting? Dollars? That cannot possibly be worth the disrespect.
Just waking up. I’m supposed to run/limp/crawl 10 miles this morning with a bunch of people who eat Granola and say things like, “power through”, and “c’mon, hit the goal” (Dear God, help me not murder).
I saw this post, and fell out laughing.
In 1999 I was living with this constantly broke idiot roommate in Dallas (he was always good for a laugh & always brought home a few hot gals). Anyway, he comes home one night plastered, with pictures of him spanking some familiar looking chick’s dancing, half naked, thong panty’d ass in some hotel room.
“Why the hell would you even type that Lamont?”
Well…cuz…That chick?
That was KDFW’s Miss Ashley Banfield. He’d met her at some swanky party he’d snuck into.
Swearsies. I SAW it. That shit happened. She knows it happened. And I know it happened.
Anybody calls bullshit, and I’ll dig that sum’bitch up. I dunno if he’s still got the pics, but he’ll swear on a stack of Bibles. And so will I.
Also, the glasses are fake.
I’m with bh. And, frankly, I’d be very surprised if Jeff isn’t as well.
But at least this incident inspired LYBD to share a heartwarming story.
Lybd, I believe you. But the pix would be good, too. It could be our little secret.
Of course this was intentional.. More about Ellen D and The O’s comfort with all things homosexual than Michelle, though.. so comfortable that he can make casual insider jokes about it without offending the LBGT community.. This is the sort of ‘edgy’ humor that has put the Daily Show and Jon Stewart among the most watched ‘News’ shows on cable. Meh.
On a side-note, I dont like talking about that unappealing Michelle and her push-ups.. Can we go back to talking about whether Hillary is doing pushups all the way down with that hot Huma Abedin assistant of her’s ? I’m able to mentally block Hilly and her cankles out of the picture . Whether Huma digs Weiner or not is anyone’s guess.

Under different circumstances … and maybe a different president … I’d say the same.
But Barack is desperate to be hip and cool and gain back his creds as Forward looking among the college kids who are abandoning him in droves.
Matt Continetti hits those notes: The Fame Monster
As the Brits say, I need a pint and a lie down.
I fell (with what I still claim was because of nightly beer or possibly a-fib) at 6 miles. Got up and finished 8. Walked/ ran the last two.
RI Red, it was 1999 around Christmas time and the pics were shaky and off an old tiny screen Nokia phone. But he was laughing/ bragging, he knew who it was, and we could see who it was. It was an out loud joke.
I remember that Christmas. I was stuck in Dallas.
I got a shotgun as a present (good present). Browning humpback. It was very nice. Over a decade later, still drag it through the south Texas sederos & mesquite and blast dove & quail with it. The duck get the two shot over and under (only fair).
‘member cuz less than a week later (Millennium night!) I met my ex-fiance on the roof of a bar in Deep Ellum.
I saw her bare ass.
Banfield’s…not my ex’s.
The Ex’s? That shit took more than a few weeks.
Good girl, that one.
Did he sing, or “slow jam” stuff?
I haven’t started hitting the blogs yet this morning.
Please tell me us tax-payers haven’t just bought Ellen a new solar powered vibrator.
And, Ouroboros , stop with the Hillary/cankles/ sex stuff.
Dear God man.
Hussein, you must go to her and apologize, lickety-split.
Mr. Sherman, there was a reason my granny referred to you as “the Anti-Christ”.
Gad! Brain bleach, stat.

I don’t even know what to say to that. I blame my faulty hipness antenna.
Obama was never hip or cool. Ever. Some people wanted him to be hip and cool, and that was enough for the illusion.
Just watched the clip with my wife: she falls more on the side of his being confused and trying to recover, and I’m tempted to agree with her. I think a lot was going through his head at that point — a realization of what was being laughed at, how to recover, whether to just go with it (there was a moment where he looks to be trying to pull off a comedian’s deadpan in response to the audience’s response) — but in the end (see what I did there? in the end?), I think this says more about his audience and what they think of Obama than it does about the line.
These people believe themselves very in and very smart — quite apart from the bitterclingers they pretend to champion but actually despise — and they hope they have in Obama a President that allows them to acknowledge their superiority a bit more publicly with lines they convince themselves will go right over our dumb little heads.
This is who is in Obama’s camp — people like this and those who are dependent on government and don’t mind being so. That should keep this douche awake at night.
Shit…Michele probably put the joke in there. It’s hard enough looking like a Klingon and having people constantly raving about how buff your arms are, she wants to be sure everyone knows she don’t muff dive too…
LBascom — Klingons don’t muff dive. Reminds them too much of tribbles.
