Mass hysteria

Happily, no!

Over budget but a success and not very costly - not 40% of the budget, not 4% of the budget, 0.4% of the budget.

And the truth will set you giggling

Here's Bobblespeak, which I heard of on Sadly No, and which Atrios is apparently already linking to. But, hell, I'm going ahead:

Reporter: but the pork!

Obama: ha ha ha yeah coming from the party of waste fraud and abuse and big spending and debts I want to laugh at them, cry and then tell them to fuck off

Obama: I hear Republicans say why would you weatherize a building when you throw that money out of an airplane in a foreign country

Reporter: right

Obama: it's like they take pride in being ignorant!

Politics is in large part the character and practice of being polite when a fair and justified response would be to call your adversaries by appropriately dismissive, hysterical bitch-slapping names. The real Obama has mastered not saying the above, but as smart as he is, he must think it pretty often.

Green with envy

Absolutely no substance at all, but good for a belly laugh, and I don't know anyone who doesn't need one of those on a daily basis.
