From The Note:
“There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee'd up.” -- President Obama, adding to the political lexicon.
Say what? What happened to the bright, articulate (and clean!) guy promised to us by Vice-President Joe Biden.
Obama's pursuit of authenticity is troubling - if he really hopes to bond with the lefty bloggers he will need to drop an F-bomb or two. Per sentence.
Oh, pooh you doodoohead.

I'll admit I doubt Barry has the sense to pour wee-wee out of an Italian loafer, but what the heck does 'wee-wee'd up' even mean?
Either the 'wee-wee' part is wrong or the 'up' part is. Paging TOTUS.

I think it's code for he has a small penis and is deep in to the maryjane...which could explain MO's petulant expression of "I can't get no satisfaction."

This is not the first time Obama has has used the term. He often says, "I uh uh we we..."

Obama is exactly like dealing with a dweeb in 7th grade. He is not smart, not confidently cool, not savvy. His jive has failed and he is scrambling thru his tired playbook for any character he can come up with to reincarnate the Obama image of the fawning media and election. If he could change his name a 4th time for popular approval, he would.
You will never go wrong by comparing our media to the guys and gals in middle school editing the yearbook. Never. They are simply the same dudes grown older, without a smidgin of maturity to share amongst the thousands of them. They know zero history, zero human nature, and zero any common sense that comes with milking cows or paper routes or cutting lawns or going out hunting in the fields of Kansas.
Obama is Chauncy the gardner with a pseudo street cred name. Nothing more, nothing less. Platitudes, vacuousness, visionless.

I think that's what he started to do in that sentence.

My first thought was that Barry was talking about moderate drug use in D.C. during August.
bad - it also gives more background to Michelle's nickname for her babies' daddy: Stinky.

I posted this link in the wee hours of the morning in the other thread. Vanderleun gives as good an explanation that can be given on what wee-weed means or might mean. Have a good laugh and go check it out.

Obama:
“There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee'd up.”
And I'll pull this from centralcal on the last thread:
Gibbs today said that wee wee, means bed wetting. hokay.
OK, it's a highly unpresidential phrase (and concept, of course), but, really, they actually believe that August going into September is http://media.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZTY5MDJkY2M0NGM4MzYyZDk1ODY1MGU2YTU1ZTk5MTE=>get wee wee'd up time:
Additionally, should "Plouffe" be a verb added to the political lexicon?

Gov. David Paterson played the race card in a big way today, suggesting he is facing tougher questions about his performance and political viability than the governors of most other struggling states because he is black.
During a wide-ranging interview with DN columnist and radio personality Errol Louis this morning, Paterson said he feels he feels an effort is being "orchestrated" to get him to bow out of the 2010 race.
Paterson alleged he and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick - both of whom are the first African Americans to hold their respective positions and are tanking in the polls - are being treated unfairly by the media due to the color of their skin.
The governor said he thinks the same thing is happening to the nation's first black president, Barack Obama, who also seen his approval rating drop due to his controversial efforts to overhaul the health care system.

OFF TOPIC ALERT (although I have to believe TM didn't expect 200 or 300 comments on wee wee):
I am outing daddy as a closet scholar of feminist history! See LUN (fifth comment).
Who would have thought that daddy used his job, which takes him to locales the world over, to contemplate and write about the feminist contributions to civilization!
Daddy, I'm nominating you for the 2009 Virginia Woolf evolved man award!!! :-)))

I suppose a little introspection wouldn't reveal that they suck and are out of step with the American people?

Maybe he meant "oui-ouied" ..... you know.. as in “There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all yes-yessed up.”
I mean, the man IS gettin' smoke blown up his heiney about how much people looooooove his healthcare program by all his yes men...
Posted by: Mad Monica | August 21, 2009 at 05:28 PM
This guy read the Kwame Kilpatrick manual of how "the man is trying to hold me down".
Come to think of it, we have had black mayor after black mayor in places like Detroit. How is it that the voters in such an enlightened place as say New York or say Massachusetts are acting differently than the observed behavior for years.
Its not like Detroit was getting a great deal either, but I guess lying to a Federal Judge was a bridge too far for even Detroit residents, but you got to believe that Paterson must be plenty bad to have the pitiful approval rating he sports. Deval too.
Get real jobs guys, cuz you suck at this one.

--There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee'd up.--
Pops sorta mentioned this on the Tom Ridge thread, but what month was it Chrissy Matthews talked about that tingle up his leg?
Are we sure it wasn't a tinkle going down?

Sending "toity" jars to the WH might help the situation. Bill Bryson's mother made good use of the item.
“There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee'd up.” Perhaps the O-guy meant *pee-wee'd.* It seems from the news, there's a lot of that going on in D.C., too.

Shhhh TC,
Don`t tell anybody. If the guys I hang out with find I know something about that feminist sorta` stuff I`ll be drummed out of the watering holes. I`m supposed to know how to shoot a Virginia wolf, not be Virginia Woolf.
And just for interest, in Nicole`s "I`m Back" post, did she like the story about the guy who rode a bike a thousand miles in midwinter over the frozen Yukon to the Nome Gold Rush? That to me is an amazingly cool historical tidbit, so since it`s the weekend back there, here`s a ">http://www.icebike.org/History/HistBroken.htm"> link to the guys short diary. I think you folks will find it fascinating.

The answer is simple. He meant to say "screwed up" but TOTUS slipped one over on the One.

Daddy, wonderful story. I am struck by how young he was. Something is lost in the way young people are coddled today. How many would suffer such a trip to make his fortune?
