1. “Look” — Obama is especially egregious at beginning his sentences with “Look,” as in — “Look, it’s going to take a lot of work to rebuild the country.” It sounds very patronizing and aggressive to me. The word “look” is shorthand for, “you’re too stupid to figure these things out, so I’m going to tell you how it is.”

2. “Folks” — why are people all “folks” now? I don’t want to be a folk. I want to be a person. I often feel like both parties are ignoring the needs of people like me so they can focus their pitch to the dumbest members of our society. Obama: you’re from Chicago by way of Hawaii. You never used the word “folks” in your life until you got involved in politics.

3. “We need a national dialogue.” — What the hell is a national dialogue? How does it start? Does it take place in a chat room? If so, I got news for you: I’ve been in chat rooms, and there is nothing worth reading in any of them. I would love to take part in a national dialogue, but I don’t seem to remember anyone in politics ever asking my opinion about anything. Instead, I am participating in a national monologue.

In other news, Harmon sent this video, which is pretty brilliant. I don’t think it really qualifies as a Rickroll unless Astley is up on screen, but I have definitely spent 3 minutes in less productive ways.
