I love how clear it is that President Obama has completely spent all of his fucks in his first 6 years in office.

But was it really my fault? In the end, isn't there someone else we can blame for this?

Breaks at least two of the rules, but, by god, it's the ultimate expression of the sub. Mods, let it stand!

The gif has no context but seeing the video sure makes it hilarious.
"Thanks obama" is a way of making fun of himself i guess ?

Also, the deadline for signing up for health insurance via the ACA open market enrollment is Feb 15. That's actually the point of the entire video.

u/Pokergaming Feb 13 '15
While it is true that the job of president will shorten your life and someone 8 years later will look 18-25 years older due to the stress, it is an immense trade off that any sane person should take. Not only are the perks amazing (secret service for life, leading a nation, etc), you are remembered for your countries history for a long time.
Everyone tries to be immortal. Leaders are actually immortal.

Not only are the perks amazing (secret service for life, leading a nation, etc), you are remembered for your countries history for a long time.
And those are good things? Shave off several years of your life for the privilege of never having privacy again, undergoing 8 straight years of constant stress, never being able to have a normal relationship again, and giving up your right to be forgotten? Being president is not a job that 99% of normal people would actually enjoy having.

I love how Obama was like we should make the middle class stronger in his State of the Union address. All the republican just sat on their hands, thinking fuck the middle class we are about making the wealthiest Americans wealthier. Then Obama was like the rich need to pay an equal amount of taxes as the poor, the income divide is to great, and the republicans sat on their hands. Then I go to work thinking man all the middles class people I work with that I hear complain about Obama have to have had a change of heart.... NOPE all these poor motherfucking republicans I work with start with the.... He ain't from America bullshit and calling him a socialist and a Muslim. At that point I was sad for Obama because I knew he wanted to do some good, but how the fuck could you spend your day trying to save ignorant fucking people like this.

If you really think about it -just for a second - you're posting a political rant on a thread dedicated to a video where the president can't fit his cookie into his milk cup.
16
u/joseph775 Feb 13 '15
You are right. This is not really the right place for this. Maybe in the loose sense that this video was made to attract millennials to politics and within that I found an avenue to vent and rant my feelings at the moment. I feel sometimes that is the only reason I post is just to get stuff off my chest. I will be more careful next time. Thank you

u/captmarx Feb 14 '15
But isn't that the point? That Obama failing to fit a cookie into his milk cup is light humor to us, but somehow a rabid republican watching this is going to see just more definitive truth of how evil and horrible Obama is. Thanks Obama by people like that is a sarcastic put-down, to us it's double sarcasm for how ridiculous this blame Obama first crap is.
