1. Tombstone Piledriver for the Rethugs?

[pjt7]

2. Pathetic

This guy get's faker every hour.

[Illuminated]

43. Cant he just act like a president for a change.

[RedSock]

3. how appropriate

since pro wrestling is pure theater with the "good guys" and "bad guys" working in tandem.

[shadowknows69]

9. Spot on.

[dysfunctional press]

34. +infinity

[IndianaGreen]

39. LMAO--Macho Man Randy Savage and Gorgeous George

Pure theatre!

[snooper2]

4. people are already bitching about this...

amazing... :eyes:

[shadowknows69]

11. Didn't we have enough stupid photo ops with Bush as our country is collapsing?

[snooper2]

13. First off our country isn't "collapsing"

Second he's only going to be there for what, 1-2 hours...

Third, all Presidents do stupid photo ops...

[shadowknows69]

19. First off our country isn't "collapsing"

Year ain't over yet.

[Ter]

35. And rightfully so

[msongs]

5. maybe he can wrestle Joe lieberman lol nt

[pattmarty]

6. All I can say is, black Bill Clinton. All glitter and absolutely no substance.........

I also voted and had "hope", but that has now almost completely evaporated. AND, it now looks like he will do for healthcare what Clinton did for trade with NAFTA. Jesusfuckingchrist, don't they "make" politicians like FDR or LBJ anymore? These guys weren't saints either, but they did do one hell of a lot for the working/middle class AND the Country in general. Welcome to the new and improved fascism, the 21st century American version.

[timo]

7. ????

whats next a photo op at a rodeo? maybe some monster truck car crushing events?

[shadowknows69]

8. Come on Barack. Not even Bush posed with professional wrestlers did he?

The sideshow, while our country crumbles, is getting even more silly and bizarre.

[Rebubula]

10. Meh...

...consider the audience.

Sometimes, to get your message to certain groups you have to find alternative means to reach them.

This is NOT a big deal or sellout. It is a unique way to communicate with the troops.

[shadowknows69]

12. By entertaining them with fake violence?

What is he communicating? "See how that guy got up after an attack that should have killed him? You won't." Is that the message the troops should glean from this unique way of our Pres. expressing himself?

[Rebubula]

23. Fake Violence

As opposed to all the killing that they do and see on a daily basis?

Anyway...he is just using the special as a way to reach more troops. I do not see the problem. But then again...my poutrage does not extend to every little thing that our President does.

[pattmarty]

15. HUH?????????????????????? You take the term "apologist" to...............

.................a whole new fucking level. As GW became the "vacation" President, Obama has become the "publicity" President. I didn't cast my vote for "speeches and appearances", if I remember right it was for "change" not for WWE Smackdown.

[WriteDown]

16. What will Obama's wrestling name be and what will his costume look like? nt

[timo]

22. hmmmm

if he was in mexico as a luchador he could be "el rey de los elephantes"
or espiritu de cambio

and of course his mask would incorporate the O from the campaign..:)

[Jim Sagle]

36. Bailout Barry, the Offshore Guy.

[IndianaGreen]

40. K&R n/t

:kick:

[Rebubula]

24. Apologist?

Really?

Just because I can see past little distractions?

Look...he is doing what he can with what he was given. He has not even been in office for a year and people think that he should have ended all wars, cooled the planet raised the dead.

The President gives greetings from Football and other sporting events...how is this different?

Anyway...some folks like to stay angry that the world is not changing like they want or as fast as they want. I want more from Obama and his administration, but flaming him every time that he does something that is not world shattering is pretty lame.

[pattmarty]

30. Well, keep your blinders on. Maybe, just maybe, the change will...........

..........come next year, or the year after. Sweet dreams.

[timo]

17. maybe your right

so pencil in a spot on the 700 clubs calendar too? then a few glad handing shots hanging around at the N.R.A. Christmas get together?

[pattmarty]

20. You forgot the KKK Xmas party. A little "bipartisanship" for racism?

Looks like already there is a little worry about 2010/12. Need to get that "change engine" spooled up again.

[timo]

21. I had a few others

but didnt wanna get some whining deucer all flame festing me and risk getting tombstoned, over a cheezy comment, from a comedy standpoint this thing is a all u can eat buffet these days!!

[Rebubula]

25. Well done...

...awesome tangent.

Comparing our troops to some ignorant Pat Robertson fundies and the Klan (post below)....you should be proud.

[timo]

28. hey???

I had the monster truck crowd in there too

[WriteDown]

14. It's like idiocrasy.

This is unbelievable.

[timo]

18. loved that movie

Obama he has what democrats crave

[Romulox]

26. "Panderer in Chief". nt

[WriteDown]

27. The Panda-rer?

[Romulox]

29. Naw. That guy has some of his dignity intact. nt

[amyrose2712]

[alcibiades_mystery]

41. Wow...look at all the defenders of the "working class"...and their utter disdain

for working class culture!

Hilarious.

[pissedoff01]
