2008 The White House Christmas Video
Posted by David Schmader on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 11:43 AM
This video will be everywhere today, and since everywhere contains Slog, here it is.
The entire fucking Bush family is from Mars.
Also, this shit is weirder and funnier than anything that's ever been on Funny or Die.
Thank you, Videogum.

I want to slap everyone in this video so hard in the mouth. Except the pets-- they couldn't help it.

"This video will be everywhere today"
Except that the video was released on Monday or so. So it's already been half of everywhere.

Celebrating America in the White House for the holidays? That's the kind of new and innovative thinking I'd expect from a terrier.

I wanted to throw shoes at them when I saw that.
And stinkbug is right.
Toss your shoes over the fence if you're in DC!

So they are saying only dogs get things done at the White House.
It was creepy, just the worst from the worst.

Here's the real problem for you. You have defined yourself in the past 8 years as "anti-Bush".
Now that Obama, an inclusive modern Democrat has been elected, you really are not sure how to participate in his administration, any more than a Conservative (or most people for that matter, since the whole thing is so new).
And New is the keyword...we didn't elect Hubert Humphrey or Richard Nixon or any of the myriad of comparisons the pundits have made comparisons with...it is Barack Hussein (he decided he will use that name in his Inauguration) Obama, a new type of person, a New Man, President.
I suggest rather than rehashing 2000-2008 a few of the fast readers among you might now spend more time figuring out just what your value and contribution will be -- or else you will be as irrelevent (or worse, an obstruction) in the new Administration.

I made it through 0:34 and had to shut it off. It's a good thing there wasn't a red hot poker lying around.
15
That. Was. Amazing.
I was like, why is Barney dreaming about sports victories? Is it for the glory of the US? That's weird. Oh, I see, Phelps and Nastia are in the video... so... they wanted to have some sort of reason why they were there, and so they thought, let's have the dog dream about being in the Olympics? What?

A "red, white and blue" Christmas:
1. Red: we're all Republican;
2. White: natch, see 1;
3. Blue: we're trapped in this horrible video, and the Muslin is moving in in January.

Side note: Why is Barney the star of all these videos? What the fuck? There's a glass ceiling even in the world of White House pets? Why can't Miss Beasley do the decorating for once? Is Barney gay? Is that what they're trying to tell us? I mean, obviously the only males who care about decorating are gay, right?

Are those the Bush twins real voices? They sound like they've been overdubbed by some of Scooby-Doo's voice actors.
20
That... was sorta horrifying. And every single human in the video is a terrible actor who can't deliver a line. I feel like I have to rinse out my brain with bleach now.
21
@17: They've made more of these videos!?
I've never seen one before. Did Bill and Hillary make anything like this?

I dated a girl who's mom had yorkies named buddy and baily. I knew somehow there was a fucking connection between having matching dogs with similar names and sucking really bad at life.

There's a question section for "Mr. Barney" on the dog's part of the Whitehouse.gov site:

Q. Morgan from England writes:
Dear Mr. Barney,
I was wondering if you could help me with my maths homework. What is 7x7?
A. Barney, First Dog: 49.

Got a question for Barney? Send the White House an email...
Fucking ridiculous.

please, please can someone explain this ..
am I dreaming right now? I have the strong sensation that as I am typing these words that I am being watched by a team of scientists that are drawing conclusions from my reactions to a clear divorce from reality. Who spiked my drink?
I need more right now folks .. when I watched 'who killed roger rabbit' I understood fantasy .. now I need to know how fantasy somehow looks like it was made to look real .. did that actually get made in with approval / endorsement from the whitehouse????

I thought it was a delightful video! Shame on you people with your bad language to describe something fun. This is way better than the depressing news that the media puts on the tube. Merry Christmas to everyone!
