Barack Obama: I have to tell you, Rahm, I'm a little out of my comfort zone here. Why is this necessary? Emmanuel: All public officials have to put up with laughs at their expense, sir. It comes with the job. It's just another form of accountability. What people don't respect, they will ridicule. Obama: But what if I'm messed and tire up? Any do-overs? Emmanuel: No, sir. Satire's cold.
i thought the “messed and tire up” was just a spoonerism for “tired and mess up” to show that BHO had no chance to correct any errors he made. maybe i’m too literal minded.
