Please, be sure to switch back to your regular handle when commenting on other threads. I have made that mistake myself.
Sockpuppet comments about the Republican primary race are strictly prohibited. If you wish to use sockpuppets for that purpose, confine your comments to this thread.

And remember: the worst sin you can commit on this thread is not being funny.

As you may have heard, Team Obama is rolling out a 17-minute documentary of the president’s term in office. Here’s the trailer:
Narrated by Larry Crowne Forrest Gump Tom Hanks, this looks to be preaching to the converted, with much emphasis on how Obama inherited a terrible economy and on the, er, triumph of Obamacare, which remains unpopular to this day. If you have any doubt of this, watch Piers Morgan allow director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for Superman) to beclown himself under the mildest of questioning:
Ah, yes… the big challenge in making this film was that Obama is simply too awesome for all of his awesome awesomeness to be captured in only 17 minutes. This is hilarious, but to be expected from someone making an official Obama campaign documentary. What is sad, but almost equally predictable, is that beneath the establishment media’s economic happytalk and Obama triumphalism are stories in places like the WaPo and Politico wondering why Obama’s numbers aren’t better. Why don’t more people recognize Obama’s awesomeness? Inquiring minds in the establishment want to know! Or do they? There are various possible answers lurking, but the media seems more interested in asking people about contraceptives.

I don’t care enough to google
happyfeet (a55ba0) — 3/9/2012 @ 10:19 amMy husband fears me. And who wouldn’t?
Joel Pollak's Wife (7c3d5b) — 3/9/2012 @ 10:31 amSorry Davis, I couldn’t hear your answer with Obama’s dick in your mouth.
Piers Morgan (dda60e) — 3/9/2012 @ 10:38 amYeah, yeah. Wipe your chin and get up off your knees, pal, you’re embarrassing.
mojo (8096f2) — 3/9/2012 @ 10:40 amThe only negative was that there are no negatives. And stupid hicktards who don’t worship Teh One.
JD (d246fe) — 3/9/2012 @ 10:42 am“there are negatives in terms of the opposition”
“where do you find fault in him?”
“I don’t… I’m in awe of him as a leader”
“Are you dispassionate enough to make this documentary?”
“You haven’t seen the movie!”
Interview with a hack (401f3a) — 3/9/2012 @ 10:47 am“Why don’t more people recognize Obama’s awesomeness?”
Karl – The answer to that question is obvious. It’s all about better messaging. We have to get the President out there in front of the people to talk more about his achievements over the past three years so they have a better sense of what he has accomplished.
David Axelrod (bf33e9) — 3/9/2012 @ 10:54 am“May an unworthy toad such as myself be honored beyond imagination by washing the feet of the Most Illustrious On High? The Obama?”
Piers Morgan (7051ab) — 3/9/2012 @ 11:15 amOh man I wanna see that dude’s face when Obama loses the reelection. His tears will restore my soul.
Dustin (401f3a) — 3/9/2012 @ 11:16 amForgive me for stating the obvious, or even fault me for being somewhat non-barackesque (if there is such a word). But has anyone used everify to check on the B0 employment eligability. Went to http://www.everifyfaaq.com and subscribed for the trial run (i didn’t need the subscription… although it was affordable). He couldn’t pass employment… now I know.
heath (cd3517) — 3/9/2012 @ 11:19 ammy bad… http://www.everityfaq.com. I was trying to remember the site in the previous post but couldn’t edite it (once sent).
heath (cd3517) — 3/9/2012 @ 11:21 ammy bad again (dang this dyslexya) is ACTUALLY was http://www.everifyfaq.com . could someone please correct & upate my original post and delete the last 2 subsequent votes. thankx
heath (cd3517) — 3/9/2012 @ 11:23 am“As you may have heard, Team Obama is rolling out a 17-minute documentary of the president’s term in office.”
Well, that’s good, ’cause I could use a 17 minute nap.
What’s the video called: “Obama, Proof Positive That Socialism Cannot Possibly Succeed.”?

Dave (in MA) (037445) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:02 pmWhy would Obama make a documentary for his base? It doesn’t make any sense.
WHAT ABOUT THE MIDDLE?
Noodles (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:04 pmDoes the narrator spew some of his anti-Mormon bile in the film?
Perhaps THAT was too awesome to include.
Icy (d64131) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:08 pmWe gotta win that fight tonight. We gotta get even with those Socs! Let’s do it for the middle, man. We’ll do it for the middle!
Dallas Winston (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:12 pmAhem. This is the Sockpuppet thread.
Does that not even mean anything anymore?
A Sock (7c3d5b) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:16 pmHissssssssss!
Sleestak (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:20 pmNoodles,
Whay would Obama make a documentary film for his base?
Maybe because they’re not as jazzed as they were in 2008. Maybe because they need a narrative to persuade people to sign up for his campaign.
Karl (f07e38) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:24 pmObama exists within the Left wing bubble formed by the sycophants surrounding him. He believes they are the “middle” and that the great majority of the country is some sort of “lunatic fringe”. Ask yourself, how often does he get out of his bubble. He did that with “Joe the Plumber”. It didn’t turn well, can you think f him doing it since?
Mike Giles (86cf1b) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:30 pmKarl, I was just mocking some people’s criticisms. =]
I think the presidential race could come down to each sides bases and who’s more fired up.
Noodles (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:31 pm17 minutes? Nice!!! I can usually only find 3 to 4 minute video clips on prontubez.
Chris Mathews (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:49 pmMr. Putin, I would like to congratulate you on your reelection. Can you loan me some of your people to show my people how it is done?
Obamaman (edf506) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:49 pm@ 25 Maybe we could make a trade? Are you familiar with the movie Space Traders?
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 12:57 pmIt’s easy to manufacture yourself when media and hollywood are all in your pocket. It’s amazing to me that people still vote Republican at all.
Book (5b3f1d) — 3/9/2012 @ 1:06 pmI’m getting bald. My movie career is on the skids. Rita likes jewelry. I needed work. I will happily lie through my teeth for 17 minutes worth of cash and a few late nite TV appearances. Anybody got anything else for me?
Tom Hanks (b47460) — 3/9/2012 @ 1:30 pmTom, Tom, I see you doing the Jack Nicholson role in this fantastic movie from my (cough) Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award winning book. You’d be perfect for the part, Tom.
William Kennedy (255b30) — 3/9/2012 @ 1:39 pm17 minutes of wank material? All right!
Chrissie Matthews (d64131) — 3/9/2012 @ 1:40 pmTom, I meant “remake of this fantastic movie.” Sorry, Jack, didn’t mean to step on your toes there.
William Kennedy (255b30) — 3/9/2012 @ 1:44 pmI would have made a much better film of the Leader than that scheisse kopf.
Oh, wait. I’m dead.
Never mind.
Leni Riefenstahl (32d0b2) — 3/9/2012 @ 1:55 pmIf the movie was paid for by a PAC or political campaign surely there should be a “This film was approved by” statement at the end (and a “this is propoganda” warning throughout the film).
Davod (8bf616) — 3/9/2012 @ 2:12 pmYou think his pants crease is fantastic, you should see me.
OBAMA'S ZIPPER (36e9a7) — 3/9/2012 @ 2:25 pmRush Limbaugh should be prosecuted for calling this Fluke a sl-t and a wh-re.
So I wrote a letter to Florida prosecutors urging him to be imprisoned under a law that blatantly discriminates between men and women. Because I am a feminist lawyer who thinks that women can’t deal with someone saying something bad about a woman’s sexual habits.
(If that is not a funny sock puppetry, bear in mind, this is all based on something real, that Allred did.)
Gloria Allred (73a7ea) — 3/9/2012 @ 3:54 pmThanks, Mr. Obama. You can get off of your knees now, I know when I’ve been licked.
Vad Putin (a1fcca) — 3/9/2012 @ 4:00 pmYo, Gloria,
Rush lawyer (a1fcca) — 3/9/2012 @ 4:08 pmRush would call you a whore as well, (go look up the definition (lawyer is about 4 down from the top). But that would be insulting to hard working ladies and men of the night.
I have known Baraka for many years and have never seen him, EVER, with any radicals. I can only conclude that you blue eyed devils are racists!

Bill Ayers (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 5:30 pmHow does this thread reach The Middle?
Reverend Wright (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 5:32 pmI take offense of liberals who cannot tolerate gay conservatives. Too bad you liberal gays do not understand libertarians. If you did you would be off the democrat plantation in a hurry.

Conservative Gay (a1fcca) — 3/9/2012 @ 5:33 pmWhy am I never asked to be in these documentaries?
Tony Rezko (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 5:37 pmDavid Guggenheim is essential to the wa.., er, campaign effort.
David Axlerod (ea1809) — 3/9/2012 @ 5:48 pmYes, I know I am a major tool bag but did PIERS MORGAN have to be the guy that exposed that fact?
Davis Guggenheim (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 5:51 pmWe’ll have 2 pot pies.
Frank Marshall Davis (694db4) — 3/9/2012 @ 6:27 pmI used to like Waiting for Superman.
alice (40bace) — 3/9/2012 @ 6:37 pmI am a big fan of your work Frank!
Sex Rebel inspired me to become the man I am today.
David Brock (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 6:38 pmAnd remember that the middle is the opposition. That’s why they had to bribe conservative democrats to go along with health care. The new bipartisan is liberal meeting progressive.
You can almost hear Piers screaming, “‘ave you gone bloody mad?” he can’t even say, “well, his ears are too big for my taste,” or even “I do wish he would have closed gitmo.” nope. He’s perfect.
We cringe when we see foreign media heaping praise like this on their leaders because you can feel the armed men standing just off camera. That would explain why this guy seemed to be lookin a little crazy paranoid.

Ye…yeah? Wait, like pot pies, or I-shouldn’t-waste-my-time pies?
There’s a big difference there.
Ghost (6f9de7) — 3/9/2012 @ 6:58 pmAnd when the doctor said I didn’t have worms any more, that was the happiest day of my life.

sandra fluke (rell one not slut or whoor) (3c92a1) — 3/9/2012 @ 8:32 pmSockpuppet comments about the Republican primary race are strictly prohibited.
No, no, no. I am a 1%er, from when it meant guys who ride old, beat-up Harleys, and I refuse to play by your rules. If I want to talk about Harley replacing the primary chain with a belt, I will. And I don’t care if they call it Republican. So there.
And since I’m not sockpuppeting, I am not breaking the rules. Never mind. FTW.
nk (dec503) — 3/9/2012 @ 8:54 pmMy friends? Well there is Richard Ramirez, Eddie Gein (great poker player btw), and John Gacy. I also dated Karla Homolka for a few years.
But please, don’t judge me by them!!!

Joey The Baby Sitter (3681c4) — 3/9/2012 @ 9:00 pmOh for the love of …NO he is not perfect! I already told you his feet stink and they do.
Michelle Obama (b47460) — 3/9/2012 @ 9:52 pmI would not fluk fluke with your permission, Hillary.
Mrs. Weiner (44de53) — 3/9/2012 @ 11:52 pmDerrick Bell never had much respect for my fellow Sleestak Enik. He said he wasn’t “Sleestak” enough.
Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
