I've learned one thing, when Obama says, "Please proceed"

[BeyondGeography]

You are well and truly fucked.

[flying rabbit]

1. true dat.

[Honeycombe8]

17. true dat, too.

[Politicalboi]

2. YUP

Proceed Governor.

Oh and EVERYTHING bad that happened, happened in just the last 4 years.

[relayerbob]

3. LOL

You absolutely nailed that point!

[TDale313]

4. Oh yeah :-) n/t

[Misskittycat]

5. One of the best moments of the debate. nt

[Diego_Native 2012]

6. I'm gonna start using that instead of F U Buddy!

[Sadiedog]

7. Being presidential.

Nice ass kicking going on tonight!

[calimary]

36. Welcome to both you guys - Diego_Native 2012 and Sadiedog!

Glad each of you is here! We need you! As good as tonight's debate may have been, we STILL need you to help us help our President safely over the finish line.





Now get to work.

[AverageJoe90]

85. Absolutely!

(P.S. a hearty welcome to DU. )

[Sadiedog]

94. Thank you for the wonderful welcome!

I`ve lurked here for years but finally decided that for my sanity I needed to join in to learn more and hopefully share with like minded people! Thank you all for being here it means the world to me!

[Siwsan]

8. Kind of like when he gets that 'certain' smile on his face, while Willard is blithering

You just know he's going to have a knock out response.

[PA Democrat]

9. And Mitt walked right into the trap.

That was great.

[Virginian]

75. Here, have more rope...

...since you are gonna hang yourself on this topic in any direction you take it.

[speedoo]

10. No shit!

Please proceed = You are really fucked now, dude.

[Tennessee Gal]

11. I caught that, too!

At first I thought he was making a mistake. But he knew Romney had really stepped in it! That was a thing of beauty!!!

[TeamPooka]

81. Obama was "in the moment" and saw it. Romney was blindly rushing in.

done.

[PD Turk]

12. translation:

"Here's your rope"

[jsmirman]

13. Great moment - he also told him to get the fuck out of his face

Mitt was seriously violating personal space there

[glinda]

45. Mitt was loosing it.

[jsmirman]

47. Mitt crossed a number of physical lines

repeatedly.

[Blue Belle]

61. I was wondering when that was going to happen...

When he is losing Mitt starts to invade personal space. Remember the Romney/ Perry shoulder incident? I thought Perry was gonna drop him right there on the stage. Mitt's a bully, and if he can win the point with his words, he pulls an LBJ and uses his hight and build to intimidate the opponent's space. The President ceeded no ground, however, and Romney looked like a bullying jackass. I actually cheered at the TV when Crowly did the live fact check. When the President said, "Please proceed..." he had this look in his eye that said, "You got nothing, Mom Jeans".

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

72. And I was hoping that Secret Service would have clocked him...

Whether Mittens likes it or not, President Obama is the President of United States. Respect the office - and he doesn't. That moment has me so heated and so showed everyone once and for all what an ____ he is.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

14. Another great moment.

Obama is one Bad Ass Pres. He was inviting Rmoney to step in his own shit.

[City Lights]

15. LOL! eom

[Autumn]

16. Yeah, I'm going to listen for that in the future. Translated it means

I'm going to kick your ass.

[central scrutinizer]

48. Another translation: "Go ahead, make my day."

nfm

[tk2kewl]

18. a peice of art

instead of jumping in defensively just command him to continue telling his bullshit lie.

[1StrongBlackMan]

19. Note to self ...

If President Obama says, "Please proceed "

Stop immediately, fall to the ground and cover the fuck up, cuz it's gonna hit!"

[Bake]

74. It was too late!

He had already stepped in it and started to slide ... he had no choice but to proceed with getting his ass KICKED!!!!



Bake

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Obama knows: Don't interrupt your opponent while he shoots himself in both feet. nt

[nolabear]

21. Abso-freaking-lutely. Should be his new motto.

[Chorophyll]

22. I'm a bit flustered now.

::fans self::

[msanthrope]

23. Obama is the better lawyer. nt

[reflection]

24. please explain!

I had to leave at 9. Dying to know the context of the 'proceed'!

[magical thyme]

49. Please proceed with your false claim that I didn't call Benghazi an act of terror in the Rose Garden

on the morning of 9/12.

To which, President Obama replied, "Read the transcript."

And Candy read the transcript and said "he did say that.....an act of terror."

And Mittens candidacy melted down in an instant.

[reflection]

54. Thanks!

[dixiegrrrrl]

88. And the TONE that Pres. Obama used was marvelous.

You could tell he was tired of putting up with Romney's BS.
Anyone with a dash of sentience would, at that moment, become dreadfully aware they were standing in quicksand.
Fortunately, Romney has all the awareness of a box of hammers, so he kept plowing himself deeper.

[Blanks]

76. It's like that scene from 'A Few Good Men'

"I said grave danger; you said is there any other kind? I can have the court reporter read it back"

Perhaps not exactly like it, but that was where my mind went.

[Ikonoklast]

25. It's because he's watching you take aim at your own feet with a big-ass gun.

Never stop your opponent when he's hell bent on destroying himself.

[NYC_SKP]

26. K/R (nt)

[vanlassie]

27. Boom!!!

[LiberalElite]

28. Oh yeah I LOVED THAT

[slutticus]

29. ...

[Javaman]

30. "Please proceed" aka keep digging. LOL nt

[nolabear]

50. Have a bigger shovel. Can I hold your coat?

[Catherine Vincent]

31. Romney got so confused with those 3 words. I cracked up!

[Turborama]

52. He looked really really flustered

I hope a photographer there got a good still shot of his reaction.

[DawgHouse]

57. Romney's expression was totally Scooby Doo, "ruh roh"!! n/t

[pokerfan]

32. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

-Napoleon Bonaparte

(It works at the poker table, too.)

[Mira]

33. Saw it then, and recommend it now. n/t

[NotThisTime]

34. First thing I thought when he played that rope a dope, he let Mitt F himself

[craigmatic]

35. That was some smooth player shit.

[JBoy]

37. I swear I heard Regis Philbin say "Is that your final answer?"

[morningfog]

38. Translation: You have loaded your gun and aimed at your foot, go ahead and

pull the trigger.

[Brigid]

39. The look on Obama's face as he said that was priceless!

It is now the latest DU meme.

[Grammy23]

66. There was touch of dry wit to it. I laughed out loud since I was pretty sure

President Obama had the retort he needed squirreled away just biding his time to lob it into the middle of the stage. He had the faintest hint of a smile, too. Priceless moment!

[hifiguy]

40. True, dat.

Your head just hasn't fallen off yet.

[quaker bill]

41. Indeed

If Rmoney was even half as bright as he thinks he is, his sphincters would have tightened at that very moment. He instead doubled down and Crowley did him a backhanded favor by preventing him from even making more of an ass of himself.

[Thegonagle]

42. It means "I know something you don't."

[glinda]

43. Yup. That was nice touch.

[Doodler71]

44. Oh my, I loved that

I may have let out a squeal of delight that would make a stripper blush.

[JuveDem]

46. Classic... Obama brought it.

[Javaman]

51. Any normal person of human origin, would have shut up.

but since mittens is not of this earth, he was unaccustomed to our ways.

[efhmc]

60. Funny.

[Jennicut]

53. Please proceed...

you total jerk for brains out of touch 1% binders full of women asshole, in other words.

[Inuca]

55. When he says "please proceed"

you probably shouldn't

[RockaFowler]

56. Love that line

Please Proceed!!!

[WilliamPitt]

58. I I I I INCOMING!!!

[hrmjustin]

59. The look on Romney's face was priceless.

[Recursion]

78. The brief eye twitch, the just-noticeable swallow

I'd love to play Romney in poker some time...

[MoonRiver]

62. And I think Mitt knew it too at that very moment.

He started to stutter and gasp, but continued to "proceed!"

[BlancheSplanchnik]

63. this:

[BeyondGeography]

64. I laughed

[cliffordu]

65. Yep. Exactly.

[apples and oranges]

67. I think Romney also knew, because he stammered

after he was given the floor. LOL

[Recursion]

71. Oh yeah. You could really see the fear in his eyes right then

And he never quite recovered for the rest of the debate.

[Uncle Joe]

68. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, BeyondGeography.

[Ricochet21]

69. true dat!

[Recursion]

70. And just the way he said it. Cold. As. Ice.

I prefer Obama's model of "strong" to Romney's.

[Curmudgeoness]

83. I loved the way he said it too.

You knew he had two aces up his sleeve. I was sitting here thinking "uh oh, Romney, you are digging a hole".

[flamingdem]

73. Excellent observation BG! nt

[backscatter712]

77. Obama's a dangerous poker player! n/t

[felix_numinous]

79. We have to have a 'Please proceed' gif!! nt

[Qutzupalotl]

80. I'm speaking! I'm speaking! I'm speaking!

I don't have anything to say, I just like the sound of my voice. I'm still speaking!

[68 Rex]

82. "Step into my Parlour"

[spanone]

84. it was great theater. romney had that 'gotcha' pose, then was obliterated on the spot

[JPZenger]

86. Next time, Romney will know that he better change the subject quick when Obama says that

[upi402]

87. all smiles here

I liked when he almost got up in the Mittface over the Bengazi smearing.

[Hippo_Tron]

89. This about sums it up...

http://memegenerator.net/instance/28525788

[Motown_Johnny]

90. He should have said "How do you not know that?"

"Aren't you here trying to convince the American People that you are qualified to be Commander In Chief?"

It was a good moment for Pres. Obama but it could have been much much better.

[Jisis]

91. LOL Yes, indeed!

Yes--keep digging that hole deeper lol

[cecilfirefox]

92. r&k!

[MrsBrady]

93. LOL

true.
