“Take one for the Gipper”

Posted by madjillmom on February 12, 2011

OK, Pres. Obama has probably never seen a black and white movie.  (No racism implied here, so get over it.)  Yesterday, Pres. Obama dropped in on Robert Gibbs last news briefing to thank him for his service.  He presented Gibbs with the tie Obama had worn at the 2004 Democratic Convention speech that is often sited as the beginning of the eventual Obama presidency.  Obama lauded Gibbs for “giving one to take one for to the Gipper”.  When you hear a famous line botched like this, it really makes you wonder about the core of Obama’s principles.

He bastardizes the quote from Win to Give Take.  Obama isn’t comfortable with winning, but taking is right up his alley.  Give something to him so he can be great and redistribute it to the unions and welfare recipients.  Then, make the comparison to Reagan who played George Gipp in the movie to Obama.  Does Obama understand what that comparison is? I guess he believes the photo-shopped magazine covers that feature Reagan and Obama.  (Note to Obama:  That photo wasn’t real either.)  The quote has nothing to do with Presidents in the original and only applied to Reagan as the actor who had a right to use it as the actor who first says the line.

Valentine Presents

Posted by madjillmom on February 11, 2011

Things I Really Do Not Want for Valentine’s Day:

Any Pajamagrams but most especially the Hoodie Footie.  The sight of me head-to-toe in a fuzzy pink jumpsuit would scare any man with intentions away.  Somehow, I can’t quite see the combination of hysterical giggling combined with sweating a sexy notion.

Any Vermont Teddy Bear but most especially the Bear with a Hoodie Footie that would match the one I would have.  The whole notion of a grown woman in a hoodie footie with a dressed up teddy bear reeks of a man with issues related to pedophilia.  How can this be a good Valentine’s Day present?

The commercials for each of these products rank alongside the “Just for Men” commercials in my book for gross and creepy.
