So what kind of drinking game could we play with an Obama press conference

[LynneSin]

** Everytime you want to stand up and applaud you have to drink?

** Everytime the camera shows the face of a republican scowling you have to drink?

I guess the presidental drinking games are officially retired

1. AAAAANNNND....

we can drink to that.

[pretty]

10. What about "the notion." He has brought that phrase

back in style lol. I hear it all the time now.

[bunkerbuster1]

16. Yep. That's guaranteed to become the Obama-impersonator's standby

kinda like Reagan's "Well..."

I suppose everyone has a favorite utterance to buy time whilst gathering a thought. "Aaaand" would be Obama's. I always wonder why such folks, who are brilliant orators, can't just leave a little dead air to collect their thoughts--is it for fear of being talked over?

[lurky]

2. Whenever he gives an honest, reasonable answer? n/t

[LynneSin]

4. OMG I could end up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning

almost like drinking everytime Bush mispronounces a word

[JayMusgrove]

7. LOL ROFL!!!! ,.,, n/t

[lurky]

9. For real!

:toast:

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. And if you wanna get really hammered, drink every time Obama says "Um"

[Aloha Spirit]

5. every time the President alludes to "the past"

"history will judge"
then drink

[WI_DEM]

6. When he says "Let me be clear on this" but let's face it--Obama isn't an idiot like Bush

so there are less opportunities. We had to do something with Bush to get through the times he spoke publicly. With Obama you are just happy to have an intelligent and well spoken president again.

8. now now Obama is no bush thank goodness.

but I hope he says, WE INHERITED THIS SITUATION.

[democrattotheend]

18. He just did

He said that he inherited the deficit. Hopefully the talking heads won't beat him up for it.

[Forkboy]

11. People should just drink for having a sane president up there speaking.

:)

[pettypace]

12. Don't count his stutters

You'll be in the ER.

Seriously, hope he works on that going forward.

I don't expect him to be a master impromptu artist like Bill Clinton, who can give a 45 minute lecture as though he's reading off a teleprompter, but all the same...:shrug:

[stillcool]

13. That's probably all we have...

whatever will we do without 9/11, Terrorists, Tax-cuts, and "Freedom"? Did you see the town-hall today? It was scary.

[Jennicut]

22. The stutters have lessened considerably though.

[AlCzervik]

14. Find the Krugman in the pizza.

[MadBadger]

15. Every time he says "The Notion"...that's a drink

[MadBadger]

19. He just said notion

[Larry in KC]

17. Every time he speaks in complete sentences...

Every time he doesn't duck a difficult question.

Every time you smile and think "God, can you imagine how * would have 'handled' that?"

[gblady]

20. probably would not.....

be able to stand up if this was the case.

[Larry in KC]

21. Yes, post-conference, that was a close one...

I'd certainly have alcohol poisoning if I'd tried any of those!

But it sure was great just to smile each time, instead.
