What’s Up with Obama and Palin Getting All ‘Wee-Wee’d’ Up?
ABC News’ Teddy Davis reports: President Obama and Sarah Palin are at loggerheads on almost everything. There is, however, one thing that they share in common: it's a certain fondness for the phrase "wee-wee'd up." President Obama was the first to latch onto it. Back on August 20, 2009, when pundits began declaring that the president’s health-reform package was in major trouble, Obama said: “There is something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee wee’d up.” Watch it HERE. As soon as the President uttered the phrase, reporters began scratching their heads. On Twitter, The Hill's Sam Youngman asked: "WTF does wee-weed up mean and how do you spell it?" White House press secretary Robert Gibbs eventually explained the “wee-wee’d” phrase by saying that “bedwetting would probably be the more consumer-friendly term for it.” Now it’s Palin who is talking about pundits getting all “wee-wee’d up.” While appearing with Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program on Wednesday evening, Palin warned that Obama is moving the U.S. closer and closer to insolvency and socialism. Palin then predicted that the press – whom she regularly refers to as the "lame stream media" – would get "wee wee’d up" about her warnings. "When we talk like this: you know that the lame stream media will get wee wee’d up like this, their heads will spin, and they will tell people that we are fear mongers and that we are exaggerating the state of the union," said Palin. "And yet, this is reality, we cannot keep going down the path were going down." Watch Palin and Bachmann on Hannity’s show HERE. ABC News’ Matt Loffman contributed to this report.

Once again, Sarah cannot think of one single educated thing to say unless she has heard it before from someone or somewhere else. She is constantly screaming about what is not right for our nation but not once does she ever give a viable and educated alternative to whatever she is opposed to. Any idiot can stand in front of thousands of people and put down all efforts being taken for the good of our nation, but it takes and educated well spoken individual to express a viable alternative. Sarah does not have the knowledge, education or command of the English language to do this.

That’s how SHE speaks, and the Ignorance of our country says…”she tells it like it is!” LOL. The president used it for another reason and that is NOT how he speaks.

One of her speech writers or talking points coach is familiar with Obama’s statements (part of his/her job) and picked up a phrase. Not very surprising or at all unusual.

Palin rants against Socialistic takeover’s but quit her job as Governor of the only State that redistributes Oil Revenue to its Citizens!!! Sounds like Socialism to me Sarah??? Seems she had no qualms taking cash from those big, bad, evil,Free Market oil companies, to pay the taxes of Alaskan Citizens. Isn’t that what Communist Countries do, Sarah ????

A vote for Palin is a vote for STUPID. She is definitely G. Bush in a dress and even worse.
She is not qualified, never will be. But she’d be a great talking puppet for whoever is behind this sham.

I’d like the media to show the prayer spoken at the MN Republican Fundraiser yesterday.
It was outrageous and rude to say there are no Democratic Christians.

Personally, I am very pleased with President Obama. If the Republicans would get to work with him to solve our CURRENT problems instead of bucking him every day, we’d be far far better off right now.
Frankly, he’s had no help or support from them since the day he took office, and according to Palin, they’re proud of it! GAH!

It was cute when HE said it.
But, seriously, thank goodness he doesnn’t use the phrase every day, then, I’d start to wonder!

How many states will Obama try to sell healthcare to? Will it be all 57 or 58?

Palins people were trying to set a trap for the “biased ” media. They thought they would be criticized for using dumb phrases or whatever . Then they could gleefully point out that the biased media said nothing when Obama used the phrase. Nice try.

That’s because she hasn’t had an independent thought in the last 2 years that she didn’t have to WRITE ON HER HAND!!!

Somehow I can’t see Palin making deals behind closed doors, lying about not hearing what her pastor preached after attending church with him for 20 yrs.,paying off people for votes, shuting the other party completely out on bills such as the “healthcare” bill that will cut medicare millions of dollars for our elderly and FORCING people to pay even if they don’t won’t too. Going against the constitution is NOT her cup of tea!!! Socialism IS Obama’s cup of tea!!

What a pleasure to read leftist rhetoric about Governor Palin. Of course there are few conservatives reading abcnews blogs, so the comments weigh heavily against her. Meanwhile, Iran laughed in Obama’s face after that stupid change to our nuclear policy. Obama is a Chicago thug who is in over his undocumented head. Have fun while it lasts kids, America is waking up and steering back to the right.

I would like ask what is so “conservative” about hate and fear mongering?
What is “republican” about appealing to a mob?
I do not recognize Lincoln’s party… nor do I recognize Sarah or any Socialist screaming righties as conservatives.
The Original Tea Party members did not have as much education as today’s 6th graders, and they could have told you exactly why they were tossing the Tea overboard, and had a plan for the next day.
Today’s Tea Party has a 2 yr or better tech degree and still can’t fill out their protest signs properly. They sincerely believe Obama is a Socialist… because Glen Beck Said so.
They of course have no idea what a real socialist is… but Right wing hate has blinded them to the truth.
