KOEB Pre-Meeting 2/9/09 For Those Who Want to Watch Obama Online

[Berry Cool]

Does Keith get more charming-looking than this?

:hi: Sadly, I must focus all my attention on the Prez, as Blinko is still not showing MSNBC. See you (a little, anyway) at 10 ET!

[Patsy Stone]

1. Look at President Obama!

I'm kvelling. I just love the fact that he's president.

[SharonRB]

2. Me, too

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

3. Hi, lady!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

4. OMG COMPLETE SENTENCES!!!

And a funny inauguration-themed lolcat:



dg

[SharonRB]

5. And they all make sense

and all the words are in the dictionary!

[Patsy Stone]

6. Too funny!

LOL!

I wish he'd look into the camera for a bit, though.

:hi:, DG!

[WolverineDG]

9. I'm so glad he's now the decider guy

strategerizing & stuff.

:rofl:

dg

[SharonRB]

12. And he's so presidential!

[WolverineDG]

22. I'm still not getting over the fact that he's using complete sentences

:wow:

dg

[SharonRB]

11. He's looking at the press, I guess

[Patsy Stone]

13. I know

but it's a little distracting, and I'd rather he look at the people.

[ralps]

7. Hi Berry Cool, Hi Everyone! & Shove Your 3 trillion Ta_ Cuts where the sun don't shine Repukes!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Berry Cool]

10. I'm cookin' soup and watchin' our Prez. Isn't he something?

Glad you're all here. Maybe I'll pop in later when Keith does his shortened early Countdown, or after.

[ralps]

8. Here's a fun LOL Kitty!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Patsy Stone]

14. That did make me LOL!

Thanks, ralps. :hi:

[SharonRB]

15. "Thank you, Mr. President"

I'm kvelling here!

[Patsy Stone]

16. It's so good.

It's like candy.

[Botany]

17. He is good

End of Story

Although he keeps calling on the XX reporters.

BTW complex issues and he takes the time to answer and explain.

[bleever]

18. He can talk and stuff! It's like, awesome!

:hi:

This is so good, after eight years of watching press conferences with a vein bulging on my forehead.

[SharonRB]

19. I don't have to throw shoes

or yell at the teevee.

[WolverineDG]

41. My teevee no longer lives in fear of the President being on it either

:hi:

dg

[Botany]

20. "I gots my looks on for 'em."

Spring 2003

bush on terrorists.

[bleever]

31. It still makes me head hurt.

And he never did smoke 'em out.

[WolverineDG]

21. Finally! A pic of me at the Inauguration!!

(yeah, I know, same photo...was waiting for one to show up at lolcats & it finally did; then it took me forever to cap it)

dg

[WolverineDG]

23. Yeah, let's not give the people money

cuz they'll just run up more bills. Here, Wall Street, take a few more trillion with no strings attached. We trust ya.

idiot.

dg

[Berry Cool]

24. I can't get over this, people.

I'm sitting here listening to my president, and he's speaking intelligently and not letting tools like Chuck Todd get away with lies. He UNDERSTANDS what he's talking about. It's like living in Bizarro World...only it's real!!!! :-)

[Patsy Stone]

26. Life is Good.

:)

[Patsy Stone]

25. Chuck Todd's a maroon, isn't he?

This is the second really dumb question I've heard him ask since he got his new gig; but, then again, I've only seen him twice.

[Berry Cool]

27. And he calls on David Shuster's wife.

Keeping it in the family, I guess!

[WolverineDG]

29. 0 for 2

wow, what a heavy-hitter he is, huh. :eyes:

dg

[bleever]

32. Yeah, that wasn't a great question.

Or even, say, a good question.

[WolverineDG]

35. Was it even a question?

I vote "no."

dg

[Patsy Stone]

37. He's like a JV player

who was thrown into the big game.

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

39. "Why couldn't I have gotten this job when the stupid guy was president?"

"Why? Why? Why? Why meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?"

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Oh Chuck, put on your big boy undies & ask a real question next time.

dg

[Botany]

28. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Obama is taking Chuck Todd to school.

multi level answers

[WolverineDG]

30. His brain is now frying

I can see smoke on the teevee.

dg

[Berry Cool]

33. He picked Mrs. Shuster--who's next? Katy Tur?

:hi: "Um, Mr. President, what's your favorite color? And, um, boxers or briefs??"

[Botany]

36. The level of knowledge that Obama is showing is awesome

I feel better already

[SharonRB]

34. Good question from Ed Henry!

[WolverineDG]

38. Yo Chuck

Crib offa Ed's notes next time, dummy!

dg

[WolverineDG]

40. Okay, President Obama, you've got 15 more minutes to dazzle us

then it's "Heroes" time.

(yes, I'm superficial, but dammit, Heroes is getting good again)

dg

[SharonRB]

42. Helen!

Yay! :woohoo:

[ralps]

43. Yay for Helen Thomas!!!!!!!!!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Botany]

44. Ed Schultz @ the Presser

It is a new day

[SharonRB]

46. I thought that was Ed next to Helen

but thought I was seeing things.

[SharonRB]

45. He pronounced "nuclear" correctly!!!!!

More than once! :woohoo:

[SharonRB]

47. Can you imagine * calling on someone from Huffpo?

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

48. Mara Liason -- FOX News "liberal"

Right up there with the same old bi-partisan question. :eyes:

[Botany]

50. she is a paid off shit

NPR is a whisper of what it used to be.

Mara "Don't cha want to work w/ the republicans?"

[Patsy Stone]

51. Car Talk

and Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. Best things on NPR. Mara's nowhere near those.

:hi:

[SharonRB]

52. I love Wait, Wait

and Michael Feldman, too! And "This American Life." I only listen to NPR now in the car on the weekends.

[Botany]

54. Scott Simon, Bob Edwards, and What do you know

all were good ..... the repugs have taken over NPR

[Botany]

49. Mara L. of NPR and Fox is hack

Don't cha' want to work with the republicans?

[Patsy Stone]

53. Tweety... Mara and Chuck's questions

were NOT good. Get the potatoes out of your ears, man!

[Berry Cool]

55. I love how Rachel understands the disadvantage of the seven-minute multipart answer

despite being as prone to giving one herself as is Keith and, well, yours truly.

(Those who know me know that if they ask me what the weather's like outside, I'll tell them "Well, when I got up this morning it was like so, but then a while later it was like this...and then it was sort of like...")

Now, on to Rachel. When we see Keith later, he'll also have a piece on A-Rod. (And if you couldn't see THAT one coming down Broadway with both doors open, you don't know Keith too well.)
