Lauer: "So Tom when do you think the weight of the office will hit [Obama] him?"

[live love laugh]

Brokaw: "When he gets the intelligence report tomorrow morning and sees all the dangers and threats that exist around the world." :eyes:

[stillcool]

1. I think he's been getting them..

for a while now, no?

[live love laugh]

3. I would assume so but the fact that Brokaw is still peddling fear is despicable. nt

[stillcool]

11. I imagine this day is killiing him..

[K Gardner]

18. Actually, he choked up and cried earlier on MSNBC. Speaking very highly about

Obama and the historic nature of today.

[Catshrink]

19. Brokaw an actor? What a surprise that.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

12. Yes, Obama has been getting them every day. Unlike Bush, he even gets them Sunday.

[Ilsa]

15. Exactly. Bro-cow is being an asshole. nt

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

2. He's been getting briefed for weeks, McBrokaw.

:eyes:

[chelsea0011]

10. As soon as he was elected, he got briefs.

[Botany]

4. Matt Lauer is an idiot Brokaw too

Obama has been getting intel reports since November and has been working on the economy
since Oct. 2008 too.

[tanyev]

5. Helluva lot sooner than the weight of the office ever hit Dumbya.

Good riddance to the Peter Pan President.

[live love laugh]

6. Exactly. I bet the weight of the office is hitting Bush today. nt

[driver8]

8. Did it ever hit Bush?

I don't think he ever gave a shit about anything, except for the pet projects that Cheney was behind.

[Ilsa]

16. That idiotic skit he did when he was searching for WMD while troops were dying

was pretty indicative that he was capable of shrugging off the weight of the office and not giving a good-god-damn.

[ogneopasno]

7. Y'know, I think Obama had a pretty good idea of the "weight" of the office when he decided to run.

It shouldn't be something that's a surprise when you get there on your first day of work. I mean, Jayzus H.

[gratuitous]

9. Oh, fer sure

I mean, ohmigod, it's not like, you know, Obama could, like, read a newspaper or watch the news or something, you know? And since he's not (wink) one of us, there's just, you know, no way he could know about the dangers and threats that exist around the world.

Jeezus, when are these putzes going to grow the fuck up?

[undeterred]

13. When will Matt Lauer stop acting stupid?

[Kahuna]

14. He's not acting. nt

[Catshrink]

17. I saw it the night of November 4

when, after his speech and the family wave, he waved again so somberly. Then he and Michelle walked slowly off the stage, hand in hand. It seemed at that moment, he felt it all descending on him.
