"Folks"

[CHNOPS]

There needs to be a full-time cabinet member whose entire job is to go through drafts of Obama's upcoming speeches and crossing this word out every time it appears.

I think some folks might object.

Sarah Palin can take care of that

It would be dope if he really meant this every time he used the word:

There's more behind it, actually. It plays to his worst traits. His voice tightens when he says it, reverting to his poindexterish teacher's pet mode. He always pauses before the word, like he's not sure what 'real' people do or don't like to be called. And no one thinks he's a man of the people--which he isn't--so his discomfort with the word carries a secondary infection that pollutes his reelection narrative.

Better just to be Smart, Effective, Ninja President Obama and not drop in the dweeb factor every couple of sentences.

When is the President's next speech to the nation? "Folks" may make for a good drinking game.

I noticed the folks thing. It's annoying. Most Presidents have something annoying about their speeches though. Carter had that whole nucular thing. I was a kid and that annoyed the piss out of me. W had that drawl that was like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Christ you're tiring.

Christ you're tiring.

Now tell me you're not happy and my sweep will be complete.

But then he'd be like your wife.

If you'd post like this more often we could be quilting buddies.

Don't try to change me. You knew what you were marrying into.

Shit, I may be projecting here.

I have given some thought to your situation. As I can't say I've ever been in exactly the same position you now find yourself in, I can say that women generally don't like me. So we do have that in common.

Let me ask you this... have you gotten the Member's Only jacket out of the closet? I may be time to unleash the big guns.

Soooooo bitchy.

Hey now, let's not let this get out of hand. There's still time.

 

[CHNOPS]

It's really going to piss me off if the package of coffee filters we bought together at BJ's outlasts the marriage.

A dab of English Leather behind the ears, the Member's Only jacket, and maybe a hat placed on his head at a cocky tilt and that woman won't know what hit her.
