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 -- and dividing it 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 -
"Unprecedented")
             . Allah Akbar

             * 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!"
