Bulls**t bingo

If you find it difficult to focus on one of Obama's speeches, I suggest you try this game while watching him speak. A game to play during the long, winter nights.

Rules for Bullshit Bingo:

1. Before Barrack Obama's next televised speech, prepare your "Bullshit Bingo" card by drawing a square. I find that 5" x 5" is a good size.
Then divide the square into columns --five across and five down. That will give you 25 one by one inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:

. Restored our reputation . Strategic fit . Let me be clear . Make no mistake . Back from the brink
. Signs of recovery . Out of the loop . Benchmark . Job creation . Fiscal restraint . Win-win
. Affordable health care . Previous Administration . Greed on Wall Street . At the end of the day
. Empower (or empowerment) . Touch base . Mindset . Corporate greed . Ballpark
. Game plan . Leverage . Inherited as in "I inherited this mess" . Relief for working families
alternate word - "unprecedented”

3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear Obama use of those words/phrases.

4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
