If Obama comes out with bad news, you can shriek over an over "See!! I told you he was going to screw us!!1!"

And if he comes out with good news, you can shriek over and over "He's lying to us again!! He's going to flip flop!! He always does!!1!11".

Either way, you're happy because you get to rail against Obama.

Puleeze, anyone excited because Obama is speaking is pretty f'ing naive. Lionessa Dec 2012 #7
