Rules for Barack's Bullshit Bingo

I received this in an email and thought it was funny enough to post:

 

 

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 -- and dividing it into columns --five across and five down. That will give you 25 1-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 - "unprecedented")

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

 

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