Obama says your all WEE WEED up!
Obama says you folks, specifically Coadie, needs to quit getting wee wee'd up about health care!
Folks, your president says to quit wetting the bed!
White House explains puzzling Obama comment
August 21st, 2009 @ 8:22pm
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama puzzled people when he said Washington "gets all wee-weed up." The White House offered a translation Friday: Folks are wetting the bed over the health care debate.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked during his daily on-camera briefing what Obama meant on Thursday when he decried the way his push for an ambitious health care overhaul had been played in the media.
"There's something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up," Obama told an audience at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. "I don't know what it is. But that's what happens."
The "wee-weed" comment had reporters looking for a translation from Gibbs, who is from Alabama and known for his colorful Southern idioms.
"Let's do this in a way that is family-friendly. I think wee-weed up is when people just get all nervous for no particular reason," Gibbs said. "Bed-wetting would be probably the more consumer-friendly term."
Come on down to Mexico!

Re: Obama says your all WEE WEED up!
I dont know what he may have meant unless it was that getting weeweed on is making the american public get weeweed off, however it was meant weeweed up was the wrong phrase but im sure in his eyes similar words all have the same meaning such as liberalism,socialism and, communism. close enough right?

He's reverted to childhood, the stress must be getting to him. He's a joke.

Re: Obama says your all WEE WEED up!
Actually, the entire fuss would just go away if he and his supporters would just give some simple, straight forward answers, in English, to some very simple, straight forward questions, also in English. But, what we get are either platitudes or obnoxious retorts as a substitute for honest communication.

That is what I just don't get!
I am convinced that most of the fears are unfounded, but the President and his fellow party supporters did a urine-poor job of presenting this much needed reform to the American public.
This is our President's first major domestic misstep and I hope he learns that he MUST become straight forward with the people who elected him.
As for folks getting wee-weed up-- I thought it was a nice way of describing the utter nonsense that has been stirred by GOP operatives. I'm glad to see Americans getting involved in the process, but the origins of the current poo-storm that has engulfed the emotions of so many folks on this issue was established by folks with less than genuine desires.
There's nothing "grass-roots" about getting people angry based off of stuff that you know are fear-mongerring, exaagerations, or even lies!
I don't consider MANIPULATION to be an American virtue!!
Unfortunately, GOP operatives used this method to gin up anger and fear.
Not so different from the tactics of f-khan, J-Jackson, and Sharpton whenever something tragic and race related happened and how they were so successful in getting the emotions riled of the people who listened to them.
Their tactics were disengenious then, the GOP's tactics are disengenious now.

Jermyn,
You are saying the Obama Administration has done a poor job of presentation and that the GOP operatives are stirring things up. You can't have it both ways. The American people are upset because the whole thing is enormously a confusing mess.
These people are "constituents" and they are angry.
This is what it is about - It's not always about the detailed wording of legislation that counts, but the regulatory interpretations of laws that are made by federal and state officials.
This is what the American people are angry about - the wording can be interpreted in too many ways after passage. That's not going to cut it.
