The President's hilarious "NO! . . . You can't drive!"
sounded just like a pissed off but slightly bemused father trying to teach his daughter how to drive.

It cracks me up everytime I watch it.

6. "NO!" "You can't Drive!"
That's exactly why the gNOp did not want to help at all..because they "created this mess"..and they want to keep it that way.

21. That is true
And Senator McCain could be President McCain and Quitter-Governor Sarah Palin could be Vice President Sarah Palin.
:scared:

Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with you about how much worse it could be.

3. I am glad to see that Obama finally showed that he has a pair of balls.
He was too nice during his first year in office.

4. His timing was priceless

I thought he let it out there too long but the "No" made it perfect.

9. The drawn out pause and then the emphatic, slightly high-pitched "NO!" was perfect!
He sounded like he was about to start playing the dozens . . .

8. MSNBC has been showing the clip all day. I wish video of his entire speech were available.

16. Actually, I thought it sounded just as much like a pissed-off but slightly bemused father
trying to teach his son how to drive.

Of course, Obama has only daughters, but they're not driving age yet, so what he does and doesn't have experience with yet is academic.

Point: Boys can drive it into the ditch, too.

17. Is there some reason you think fathers don't teach their daughters to drive?
Really, I don't see where this comes from. Not at all.
