This was painful to watch. Jesus, he’s like a robot.

Really?  Was it?  Are you gonna be OK?

To say his delivery was dry would be a bit of an understatement

Yea I think I’ll be aiit, thanks man.

The picture looks like a mannequin.

That was the best thing I’ve seen him do, for whatever that’s worth.

You could tell he didn’t enjoy that one bit. He needs to loosen up, someone needs to re-oil his sockets.

Jake Tapper scoops the supposed “media” website and it’s “White House correspondent”.

An all-star list of progressive and liberal media folks came to the White House today to chat with President Obama over coffee in the Roosevelt Room.The group chatted with the president about economic messaging, his agenda for 2012, the various campaign arguments against different GOP candidates, the desire among some Democrats for him to highlight his foreign policy accomplishments, fighting corporate influence and the “crappiness” of the Senate filibuster , as one attendee put it.

Those there included the Washington Post‘s Ezra Klein and Greg Sargent, MSNBC anchors Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, and Chris Hayes, the Nation’s editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel, the New York Times‘ Frank Bruni, and stars of the interwebs Arianna Huffington, Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, Faiz Shakir of ThinkProgress and Joy Reid of The Reid Report.

Rick Perry actually did a pretty good job delivering his top 10 a month or so ago.

Well, since it came from you, it’s worth nothing.

Did Dave seem somewhat, uh, miffened at having to do this? “How was the back nine?” as an aside tends to fit an effort to demittsify the lameness of a bit to one’s audience. Anyway, it sure didn’t seem like it was Dave who instigated this – leave aside who in the “CBS Family” would have thought to have Romney deliver these line ‘live-ish and in person’ (Paging Mister Redstone, a Mister Sum-ner Red-stone!”). 

Anyway, I disagree: he’s nothing like a robot. A robot delivering these lines wouldn’t work to make We The Viewers squirm so with the awkwardness of it all; a robot wouldn’t have been nearly this charmless; & a robot would at least have delivered these lines with some modicum of credibility. 

Agreed: Perry does “wooden” with far more authenticity.

Sounds like a pretty fun & lively bunch. Can you imagine having to spend relaxy-time with the likes of George F***ing Will, Hannitty, the late Charles Krauthammer, that dickwad (and latest winner of the SALON Hack of the Year Award) Mark Halprin, that pervy wanker Breitbart, Red Erik, Daffyd Brooks, & William (Not the Funny One) Kristol? Not even to mention your close namesake, Morning Goe.

So we’re doing campaign events in the White House…again?

Can you imagine letting Ed Schultz in your house?

Thank you for this post, great example of the Main stream media advising and coordinating Owebumbles re election efforts, I guess we can expect fair reporting from their respective news outlets. Not.

Trevor is a worthless failure.

These politicos should stay home. They have no business being out on the street. We’re in the hands of troglodytes.

The Late Charles Krauthammer …. Excellent!

I’m really looking for something to like about Willard, and I’m have a very difficult time. I don’t have any particular problem with his policy agenda, since with Willard policy changes hourly or more often, but he’s just so “icky”. I know that’s not a great term of art, but it seems to fit. Stiff. Groveling. Oily. Sanctimonious. Condescending. Ingratiating. I like him less than any of the other Clowns in this year’s GOP Circus. I even like the Newt better. At least he admits he is wholly lacking in moral clarity and a devotee of situational ethics.

They Royal Empress is just concerned that with a Romney president she will finally have to get a job and not live off of the public.  She’ll have to give up her food stamps and welfare.

Okay, I am a Mitt supporter.  That was a little awkward.  The jokes were not funny at all.  You can see they didn’t try hard to make Mitt say funny lines.  Folks, that is Mitt Romney.  He is a gentleman.  He’s not one wild and crazy guy.  He is constant.  I liken him to 1950s character.  He is steady.  Really, after all we’ve been thru – it is time for steady, calm, effective leadership – not a reality star.

No – he is just Mitt.

Were the jokes funny?  uh, no – I could have written better lines.  Letterman seemed annoyed with the writing.

oh, he’s a handsome feller -

that’s impossible.  He is very poised and proper – that is just the way he is.  Personally, they say he is a lot of fun to be around and quiite the prankster.

oh, you are not giving Mitt a chance.  He is a good man.  Wholesome. 

Just when I think you’ve hit rock bottom in the old sewer system, you manage to find a little pocket of feces and go lower.

Actually, I am trying very, very hard.

In other words, you have no substantive response?

Now that I think about it, I have several mannequins that look LESS stiff.

“Whats up gangstas” coming out of Mitt-the-Robot’s mouth was the best one.

Why does he stand like that, he has no comfort zone, he is a scary non-engaged robot.

Do you liken him to 1950s character Eddie Haskell on Leave it to Beaver???  That’s who he reminds me of, an insincere brown noser.  Saying what he thinks you want to hear.  You interpret this as steady, calm and potentially effective, you are not a perceptive person.  He is a compulsive liar.

Not

That was his wife saying that, she is ambitious also, likes the look of that White House between visits to the multi million west coast house.

gee – a little envious aren’t you?  And where is Mrs. Obama vacationing right now?  All the GOP candidates are successful financially – good.  And of course Ann said that about Mitt — I don’t know him personally – geez.  You are trying awfully hard picking apart Mitt Romney.  And leave Ann out of it.

you are the one who can’t see the forest….  what a cynic you are.  President Romney will turn around Washington D.C. for the better – you’ll see.  I am very confident of it.  I have complete trust in Mitt.  Been supporting him since ’07.  It’s frustrating that he is smart isn’t it?  No Sarah Palin moron here.  You sound like children calling him robotic and stiff — immature people you are.

you are afraid of the little Mormon?  LOL — come on.  Robot term is getting real old.  When he is President standing tall for America in the world you are not going to think that.

the funnier part was Dave shaking his head saying “no you are not M to the double t…”

When the haters leave Michelle out of it, we’ll leave Anne out of it; don’t be silly, she is a huge part of it and will have to take the heat.  Envy is not at play here, unless one wants money at any cost, which is a blanket right wing accusation.  Mitt was a bad governor of our state, he said anything to get elected, all lies.  I reallly don’t know which side of him is lying, is he a fake conservative or a fake liberal, he goes with the flow.  The Obamas pay for their own vacations and are not phonies, Romney is very scary and if you lack the perception and intelligence to really know what he is about, that’s your problem. 

Give Mitt some credit, he was a good sport here and did a good job.

He never turned Massachusetts around and had four years to do it, he was gone most of the time actually, Your trust is misplaced and unfounded, he IS a robot, and I’ve been following him since the 1990s when we should have learned enough about him to force him to go back to what he likes, money making.

You are delusional, and need to do some research before you make these predictions.

I agree. Rick Perry’s Top 10 was much funnier.

He is. If he ever got elected his likeness in the “Hall of Presidents” at Disney would be right on target. You really wouldn’t be able to tell the differance.

Mr charisma!

Pitiful, really.
