Ain't that a bitch

[Hutzpa]

here I am watching the President's speech to the Union on CNN getting all
excited of the speech, only for the commentator to come on and use the
Republicans talking point "Over Exposed" at the end of his speech,
cussing under my breath, switched over to MSNBC to hear the same words and
question coming out of Andrea Mitchell's mouth...."ain't that'a bitch"

:banghead:

Whats with these media hacks?? :shrug:

[JuniperLea]

1. They hate him...

And they hate anyone who admires him, supports him, prays for him, etc.

[CitizenLeft]

Gee... that sounds like DU.

[CakeGrrl]

3. It does, doesn't it?

Ain't that a bitch!

:crazy:

[Hutzpa]

4. No joke

sad reality

[JuniperLea]

5. Seriously!

I'm pretty tired of it too.

[SIMPLYB1980]

10. Yep and according to some on our side,

Obama is the reason for all our woes. Ain't that a bitch.:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

12. Heh. Looks like I have a new line to use.

[iceman66]

25. Not only that, they're afraid of him.

2. I watched CNN for ten minutes this morning....

Then I heard a supposed "reporter" wonder aloud whether healthcare reform would result in a "nanny state". I'm afraid the media is bought and paid for.

Eew, Lord have mercy, I can't get ahead, no way I try
Everything is out of pocket, somebody do somethin'
The brother's situation is abstract, listen, mm

Listen
I'm workin' 40 hours, six long days
And I'm highly embarrassed ev'rytime I get my pay
And they're workin' everybody
Lord, they're workin' poor folks to death
And when you pay your rent and your car
Note, you ain't got a damn thing left

Ain't that a bitch - yes it is
Somebody doin' somethin' slick -
It's got me wonderin', which is which
Might as well go uptown and dig a ditch
Ain't that a bitch - yes it is - now ain't that a bitch

But let me tell you about my qualifications
I program computers
I know accounting and psychology
I took a coarse in business
And I can speak a little Japanese -
Got to work two years to get one week off with pay
And when I'm on my job, I better watch every word I say

Ain't that a bitch - ha ha, boy
Somebody doin' somethin' slick - downtown
It's got me wonderin', which is which
Might as well go uptown and dig a ditch
Ain't that a bitch - it's way too cold - ain't that a bitch
Make me wanna holler

Ah Lord, Lord, Lord, have mercy to see
Won't somebody please help me to see now, Lord
I wanna play the guitar, come here guitar
Aw, somebody doin' somethin' slick

Now listen at this
Stopped at the supermarket to get myself somethin' to eat
And when I looked at the prices, it knocked me off of my feet
I was in the baloney section, and I had to take myself a close look
Now Abdul Jabar couldn't have made these prices with a sky hook

Ain't that a bitch - he he, yes it is
Somebody doin' somethin' slick -
It's got me wonderin', which is which
Might as well go uptown and dig a ditch
Ain't that a bitch - hm - so ain't that a bitch

Oh, ain't that a -------- bitch
Sure is somethin' slick goin' on, sure is somethin' slick
Sure is somethin' slick goin' on, sure is somethin' slick
Ain't that a -------- bitch
Sure is somethin' slick goin' on, sure is somethin' slick
Sure is somethin' slick goin' on, somebody sure is slick

Ain't that a -------- bitch
Sure is somethin' slick goin' on, sure is somethin' slick
Sure is somethin' slick goin' on, sure is somethin' slick
Sure is somethin' slick goin' on, sure is somethin' slick
Ain't that a -------- bitch
Sure is somethin' slick goin' on, somebody sure is slick ....

7. I'm not getting what you're referring to -- enlighten me. I watched the speech

and was blown away. I loved how he nailed it about the cost (Less than the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Less than the tax cuts that Bush implemented), and generally he was just so strong and no bullshit and calling others on theirs.

Anyway, WTF were they saying? (I was watching MSNBC but I must have missed it)

[jenmito]

9. On both CNN and MSNBC they asked, right after his GREAT speech, "Is he over-exposed?" n/t

[gateley]

11. They make my ass tired. If he wasn't out there, it'd be "is he avoiding the public?"

I keep having to remind myself that it's this is Entertainment -- and every once in a while real news and commentary slips in through the cracks.

Thanks! :hi:

[jenmito]

13. Yup. Then another question, by Contessa Brewer:

"Why, when it looks like the majority of people support the PO, would Obama back away from it?" That's after Obama just DEFENDED it in today's speech.

[gateley]

14. No! I'm incredulous! I usually like Contessa. If I Tweeted, I'd send her a

stern message!

[jenmito]

16. Me, too! And I DO

tweet so I WILL do that. (I only tweet in instances like this to tv anchors.)

[gateley]

17. Perfect! We know she loves her Twitter!! Thanks!! nt

[jenmito]

19. I just did it:

"Obama just Defended the P.O. in his speech. Why would you ask why Obama's "backing away from it"?"

[gateley]

22. Brava, jenmito!!

:applause: :toast: :pals:

[jenmito]

23. Thanks, gateley!

:hi:

8. Rec just for phrase alone...

[Brickbat]

15. Overexposed? But...wouldn't that be the media paying attention to him and exposing him? WTF?

[Thrill]

18. They don't like him using the bully pulpit. LOL

to counter their bullshit

[Willo]

26. Bingo! That's it in a nutshell. nt

[Jennicut]

20. Weren't they just talking about how he needed to control the health care debate a week ago?

WTF do they want...actually we all know they just want him to fail. Corporate media. :grr:

[Uncle Joe]

21. Overexposed is the corporate media codeword for any President trying to directly communicate with

the American People regarding the critical issues of the day in effect going over the corporate media's Hydra Heads.

The corporate media hate this because it makes their job of telling, manipulating or brain washing the American People as to the state of reality more difficult; thereby reducing their power and influence.

As for Andrea Mitchell; she couldn't be any more overexposed unless she was butt naked.

[HopeOverFear]

24. ^^^TRUTH!!!!!!!

27. Hammer meet nail, nail meet hammer
