JACK WILEY DITHERS EXCLUSIVE: SOTU ADDRESS 2011
(AP) – Jack Wiley Dithers reporting.
Our White House source was able to leave his shoe recorder behind in a high level planning meeting for the upcoming State of the Union address. The transcript we were able to recover for this exclusive report follows.
==
Barack Obama: Let’s bring this meeting to order. Gibbsy, where are the speech writers?
Robert Gibbs: They all quit on the spot when I told them you wanted to keep the tone civil.
David Plouffe: No worries, Mr. Soros has assembled a new team in Belgrade and they are in flight right now.
Barack Obama: Good. Let’s give them a great outline to start on. Accomplishments … around the table … Janet?
Janet Napolitano: We closed the deal on a border fence contract.
David Axelrod: Better not mention that one since that video went viral – the one with the women climbing the fence in a few seconds …
Barack Obama: {sigh} Eric?
Eric Holder: Record number of federal lawsuits filed against the various states.
David Axelrod: I don’t know, doesn’t seem very popular ….
Barack Obama: Geez, I need something to bring to the dance, people! Hill?
Hillary Clinton: Maybe we should play up a strategic break through with China. That was quite a coup getting them to let us keep the pandas.
Barack Obama: Alright, now we’re getting somewhere. Take it down Gibbsy. Joe? Joe? Wake up, Joe!
Joe Biden: [Snort!] Three letter word! J!O!B!S!
Barack Obama: Awesome.
David Axelrod: I don’t know – unemployment is still a touchy –
Barack Obama: Nonsense! Nobody messes with Joe. Gibbsy, you got that one?
Robert Gibbs: Uh, yeah … pandas, jobs.
Barack Obama: OK, what have we got for the loyal base?
Holder: Updated timeline for closing Gitmo.
David Axelrod: Uhhhh, probably better not mention Gitmo at all.
Barack Obama: David’s right.
Hillary Clinton: Updated timeline for withdrawing from Afghanistan.
Barack Obama: No, let’s just keep that to ourselves.
Robert Gates: Repealing ‘Don’t Ask’ is popular with your base. {sigh}
Barack Obama: David, what do you think?
David Axelrod: The public hates it, Gates’ soldiers hate it, but I guess it’s all we got for the base for now …
Robert Gibbs: pandas, jobs, gays … ok, got it
Barack Obama: Tim, you’ve been quiet. What do you have to pitch.
Tim Geithner: My guys have been working on a plan to radically reform the tax code.
Barack Obama: ‘Turbo Tax Tim’ wants to reform the tax code? I can tell ya I didn’t expect that one!
{Room erupts in laughter}
Barack Obama: What’s the angle?
Tim Geithner: Simplification –
{Room erupts in laughter}
Tim Geithner: No, seriously – what better way to punish your enemies and reward your friends than rewriting the entire tax code?
Barack Obama: Hmmmm, not bad …
Robert Gibbs: Ok, pandas, jobs, gays, tax enemies … got it.
Barack Obama: OK, let’s switch over to tactics. How do we get John Boehner to cry?
{Room erupts in laughter}
Joe Biden: I get to sit up there right next to him, right?
David Axelrod: Yes. {sigh}
Joe Biden: Easy – I’ll fill my pockets with raw onions!
Barack Obama: Awesome! I keep tellin’ ya – nobody messes with Joe!
Michelle Obama: Let’s make everybody wear purple, it’s perfect for the phony baloney civility thing: red and blue makes purple, get it?
Barack Obama: Isn’t that what we did last year?
David Axelrod: Yes. {sigh}
Barack Obama: Yeah, now I remember. You looked like some kind of giant grape, baby. I thought I was in some kind weird ‘Fruit of the Loom’ nightmare.
{Room is silent, awkward pause}
Barack Obama: Sorry, baby. Movin’ on …
Valerie Jarrett: Michelle has the right general idea – we can play up the civility thing. Some Congressman suggested having the members sit in a mixed party configuration instead of the usual blocs.
Barack Obama: Can we actually tell Congressmen where to sit?
David Axelrod: No. {sigh}
Barack Obama: Too bad. Let’s just see what happens, then. Who do we have on the guest list for pandering purposes?
Unidentified voice: Why don’t you bring in Sheriff Dipstick, moron?
Barack Obama: Who said that?
Unidentified voice: This shoe recorder thing is bi-directional?
Barack Obama: Who said that?
Unidentified voice: Roh-Roh.

They are really grasping here. Of course, they have so little to grab on to in terms of success. What else can be expected.
ReplyDelete@Matt: How are things at the hideout? Since the old Progressive maxim is "change the subject and attack" here's what I'll be on the lookout for:
ReplyDelete- Thinly veiled 'blame Bush' (how else can they possibly set up a J-O-B-S discussion, as the reports are saying, given their abysmal record)
- Thinly veiled 'blame right wing rhetoric (as the 'can't we all just get along' phony civility line goes)
- Maybe even some thinly veiled 'blame Whitey (for the all-important 'Lah-Teen-Oh' vote.
All I can say is I hope, for Barry's sake, Mr. Soros has some seriously good speech writers lined up.
I bet Oprah's family secret is Frank Marshal Davis is her real father, and Oblamer is her half brother....
ReplyDeleteThat way, Obummer can claim during SOTU that he actually IS a natural born citizen....
@Jethro: Who is this "Oprah" you mention? ;)
ReplyDeleteMr. Soros has assembled a new team? Probably truer that you know.
ReplyDeleteGreat jot.
Did you read "Obama's Con"?

Thank you, @Debbie. I do the best I can with my limited resources and boundless talent. :)
