O-BINGO

I want to watch American Idol tonight. Alas, I cannot. Idol is being preempted by Barack Obama.

Yippee!

Are you planning on watching Obama's speech?

If you are, you might want to play "O-BINGO" as you watch. I heard Mark Levin talking about this. Sounds like fun!

From The American Spectator, Brian Johnson writes:

If you're like me, you wish there was something to do while listening to the Obama-ganda tonight.

Well now there is. From the people who brought you the Taxpayer Protection Pledge (which almost saved California from higher taxes), and the famous "Wednesday Meeting", comes a new play-at-home game that is fun for the whole family.

Americans for Tax Reform, providing wholesome family fun since 1984, has created "O-BINGO". Played just like regular bingo, "O-BINGO" allows you and your family to follow along with Obama's speech and see who can get the most squares covered in one line.

This soon to be timeless game includes such memorable Obama phrases like "let me be clear", "vulnerable Americans", and who can forget the classic "toxic assets".

Here's an example of an "O-BINGO" card:



From Americans for Tax Reform, John Kartch writes:

On Tuesday at 9:00 PM Eastern, President Obama will address a joint session of Congress. To help get you through the 50-minute speech, use our handy Bingo card to check off terms and phrases likely to be used. As a bonus, print out the different versions of the card and watch the speech with your friends or family.

In addition to 4 different versions of the "O-BINGO" card, Kartch provides a useful key explaining the terms Obama will be using in his speech.

KEY:

“Since the Great Depression” – The economic one, not the feeling you’ve had since he signed the “stimulus” bill.

“Save or create” jobs – Obama’s new metric whereby he can claim credit for the outcome no matter what happens (how exactly does one determine the number of "saved" jobs?)

“Crisis” - Excuse to hike taxes and grow the government per Rahm Emanuel’s theory: “Never let a crisis go to waste."

“Stimulus” – The 1,000 page Pelosi-Reid-Obama pork bill rushed through in the dead of night with no transparency and that not a single member of Congress who voted for it actually read.

“Hope” – The optimistic expectation, against all evidence that this government will be the first in the history of time to succeed in spending its way out of economic problems.

“Change” – Take-home pay of future generations due to massive spending increases and government expansion.

“Bipartisan” – "Pelosi and Reid get to decide what we'll do, but I'll have you over for tea first."

“Children and grandchildren” – The people picking up the tab.

“Shovel-ready” – Vital projects that somehow are not important enough to receive funding through the regular appropriations process at the local, state, or federal level.

“Toxic assets”- Now the responsibility of those who followed the rules and made wise decisions.

“Failed policies of the past” – An overspending problem by George W. Bush to be expanded by Obama.

The list goes on. Very funny.

I think it's fitting that Obama is delivering his economic speech on Fat Tuesday. It's the perfect day to focus on out of control government spending -- excess and indulgence.
