‘Wee-weed up’?!?

Obama needs a vacation like nobody’s business.

Political players, media, comics, wordsmiths and likely more than a few psychologists have been scratching their heads since President Barack Obama uttered the confusing and seemingly made-up words on Thursday: “There’s something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up. I don’t know what it is. But that’s what happens.”

The man lauded as one of the most gifted orators of our lifetimes (at least when strapped to his teleprompter), capable of sending a tingle up the leg of grown, middle-aged male and able talk show hosts, compared to Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton for his rhetorical abilities — the former president of the Harvard Law Review, for goodness sake — pretty much collapsed into a pool of Jell-O when describing his version of Washington in August.

I guess this makes it a little harder for Bush haters to criticize the former president for his interesting pronunciation of “nuclear.” But with “Saturday Night Live” still on summer hiatus and likely still too afraid and/or adoring of Obama to attempt to strike gold with “wee-weed up,” we may have to just settle for the head-scratching and hope the Obamas make the most of their vacation.

And don’t worry, Mr. President, only Republican presidents are slammed for taking the much-needed vacations all presidents need. The press will cut you the slack you have come to expect. So wee-wee away and enjoy!
