How to Make President Obama Sound Less Presidential

It's easy to make President Obama sound less confident and eloquent by adding just two words to the end of anything he says. Here are some examples - feel free to make your own at home. The added words are in bold italics:


From his speech Tuesday before Congress:

"I do not accept a future where the jobs and industries of tomorrow take root beyond our borders - and I know you don't either. It's time for America to lead again or something."

"I can stand here tonight and say without exception or equivocation that the United States of America does not torture, I think."

"So let there be no doubt: healthcare reform cannot wait, it must not wait and it will not wait another year, I guess."

"This time, CEOs won't be able to use taxpayer money to pad their paychecks or buy fancy drapes or disappear on a private jet. Those days are over or whatever."

"We will rebuild, we will recover and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before, etc. etc."

"The concern is that if we do not re-start lending in this country, our recovery will be choked off before it even begins, as if."

"Given these realities, everyone in this chamber - Democrats and Republicans - will have to sacrifice some worthy priorities for which there are no dollars. And that includes me, so chill."

"The third challenge we must address is the urgent need to expand the promise of education in America, you know?"

You have a gift, Grant Miller. A gift that will ensure that you are never made into a speach writer for the President.

Congrats.

"It's time for America to lead again in bed."
