You don't want to use that phrase, dude.

Obama on Daily Show, Dude
Obama was a guest on the Daily Show last night. In an astounding moment of irreverence, Jon Stewart referred to the President of the United States of America as "dude":

As others have noted, 1)it appears Barry doesn't know what a pun is (which ought to disappoint those who think Barry to be soooo smart) and 2) Barry just can't hide his defensiveness and is totally incapable of laughing at himself.
He promised us a transparency he hasn't delivered, yet ironically the transparency of his narcissism is accounting for his undoing.
Yea I still don't get the "pun" Obama was alluding to or why Stewart even objected to "the heckuva job" statement.
But I'll refrain from blasting Obama on this one.
Stewart completely stepped over the line here in calling the President "dude" directly to his face and in a rather condescending manner.
Bush II, in reference to FEMA Director Brown's response to Katrina, said "Great job, Brownie" or words similar to "Heckuva job." Recall?
When Stewart derisively said he wouldn't use that phrase, "Dude," Obama realized what Stewart meant, and instead of laughing at himself, tried to act as if he had said_ it_ on_ purpose--- as a "pun." Thus, "Pun intended."
BARRY IS A BIG FAT LIARRRRRR.
What a piece of work this guy is. How the hell we wound up with a choice between Obama/Biden (who, I am convinced, is a certifiable mythomaniac, i.e. a certifiable, clinical compulsive liar) and McCain/Palin is something historians ought to plumb.
America needs to look back at how two parties wound up with those four. Maybe the old days of conventions in which the parties made their choices are something to think about. No way, though, would either the public or the media go for that.
NEWSITEM: Snide Hebrew TV-man with a fake name calls dopey Mulatto with various fake names, a "dude".
Isn't America great? We are free to have slick Jewish conmen wag their fingers at us and grace us with melanin-rich role-models to brighten our lives. What a boring world it'd be otherwise!
The "whitewashed" version isn't too bad, but I'm simply not going to tolerate those kinds of musings on WWII.
Is that even an actual pun?
No, it wasn't a pun. The One obviously doesn't know what a pun is. Some Harvard grad, he.
He's a secret Muslim who hates white people. So isn't him "dude" actually too respectful.
I would have referred to him using another word.
That is because Jon Stewart is actually the boss in this situation, and Obama needs to take orders from him rather than vice versa.
Jon Stewart is a comedian who addressed the president in a way that he thought would be comical and satirical to the situation. Insolence in the correct context is actually funny. Honestly, I wouldn't care if the pope were behind me in line at a Gloria Jeans(or really anywhere), he would have to wait his turn just like anyone else.
It would be immoral of him, just another human being, to insist that I move, whereas it would be moral of me to move, since I essentially do not owe him anything.
People's entitlement syndrome and false sense of superiority and various justifications thereof, such as the so-called "divine hierarchy" and pseudo-science of eugenics*. When the reasoning behind such justifications have been stricken down people tend to regroup and fabricate another excuse, preferably with pretenses towards science. From the auto-mechanic to the board of directors of various companies (who often sit on more than one board) everyone is essentially a human being with her/his own consciousness, volition, and special interests.
*The term "good family" does not mean "good" in a morally and intellectually superior sense, but a "genetic" sense. How "good" is it if a CEO and his CEO brother hired a private police force to violently suppress workers' protests? And have regular parties involving drugs and sex?
