Yesterday President Obama helped Barbara Boxer raise money so she can keep spending other people’s money, and things did not go quite as swimmingly as they could have:
Apparently the hecklers were unhappy that Obama still hasn’t done away with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. So I guess they’re Armybaggers. He was clearly frustrated by the disruption because he so rarely gets a chance to speak in public, and when you smart him, it ruins it.
Obama’s retort, “I’m sorry, do you wanna come up here?”, isn’t bad for an ad lib. But considering his plummeting poll numbers, it seems more and more likely that people will get tired of listening to him say words words words words words all the time, and they might keep yelling things. In the interest of helping Obama maintain his all-important aura of presidential dignity, here are some possible ripostes he can try next time:
- “Oh yeah?”
- “Hey, pal, tell us what you really think.”
- “Why don’t you put an egg in your shoe and beat it?”
- “Talk to the hand, ’cause the face ain’t listenin’!”
- “So’s yer ma.”
- “The Jerk Store just called, and they’re outta you!“
- “Shut up.”
- “No, seriously, shut up.”
- “Shut the f*** up.”
- “Would you shut up?”
- “SHUT UP!!!“
HTH, Mr. President.
