Obama Calls Romney To Congratulate Him In Epic Washington Gaffe

by Jim Newell

President of HellFirst Cory Booker goes “off-message” by saying he’s a whore on the television show, and then some other people do that, and now what, Barack Obama commits a “historic Beltway gaffe” by calling Mitt Romney to congratulate him for clinching the Republican nomination. What an idiot. You’re not supposed to exchange pleasantries with any Republicans, ever, or all elections are totally lost. Get in line, Obama. Obey yourself.

Here’s the official word from Obama Propaganda HQ (the Hooters on 7th Street):

At approximately 11:30 AM ET this morning, the President called Governor Romney to congratulate him on securing the Republican nomination. President Obama said that he looked forward to an important and healthy debate about America’s future, and wished Governor Romney and his family well throughout the upcoming campaign.

Whatever; it went more like:

OBAMA: Mitt? Hello Mitt.

ROMNEY: Hello Mr. President.

OBAMA: So… congratulations on winning the nomination.

ROMNEY: Yes.

OBAMA: Uhh…

ROMNEY: Uhh…

OBAMA:

ROMNEY: Have you seen the Avengers?

OBAMA: Huh?

ROMNEY: Movieeeee.

ROMNEY:

[End of Call]

Indeed, let’s all look forward to a healthy debate, derp derp.

[TPM]

Never calls me, and I fuck shit up all the time.

BarackMyWorld May 30, 2012 at 12:39 pm

Romney's favorite character from the Avengers? CAPTAIN AMERCIA!

Blueb4sunrise May 30, 2012 at 12:48 pm

Thank you. Didn't know the new spelling fuck-up.

Nostrildamus May 30, 2012 at 12:56 pm

My favorite part was where Mrs. Peel transforms into the Hulk.

johnnymeatworth May 30, 2012 at 1:14 pm

HULK RUN BAIN CAPITAL!!!! HULK CONTROL COMPANY LINKED TO MEDICARE FRAUD!!!!

Infrogmation May 30, 2012 at 7:20 pm

I thought it was already "AmerCIA". Since late '63, anyway.

I'll have a dozen right wings, hot sauce, no celery, hold the assholes. What do you mean you can't separate the assholes?

memzilla May 30, 2012 at 12:39 pm

Shouldn't we just be able to run a highlight reel of Rmoneyisms and (g-d willing) cinch this? Combine it with making the Etch-A-Sketch a symbol of the Rethuglicans' bet that Americans have a pathetically short attention span and will forget everything that is YouTubed forever?

boobookitteh May 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm

Pssst. Americans do have a pathetically short attention span.

I'm being distracted by something shiny as we speak, and I have a triple digit IQ.

bagofmice May 30, 2012 at 12:50 pm

The writers for the debates should have a tablet device with clips queued and searchable so that the pervaciarations can be displayed in real time

memzilla May 30, 2012 at 2:09 pm

I'd like to see a Watson-like computer hooked up to C-SPAN to do the exact same thing.

Biel_ze_Bubba May 31, 2012 at 10:41 am

That would be grossly unfair to Mitt — he wouldn't be able to say anything, without the media showing a clip of him saying the opposite.

MrFizzy May 30, 2012 at 12:39 pm

And any military-age men near Romney are subject to collateral congratulations.

chascates May 30, 2012 at 12:41 pm

"Yes"
"Then buy the refrigerator company and fire everyone!!!!!"

Did you have Prince Albert canned?

EatsBabyDingos May 30, 2012 at 12:53 pm

"Do you have Prince Albert in the can"?

"No, that's Rick Perry's job."

Pop_Socket May 30, 2012 at 1:00 pm

"Can I speak to Mrs. Fire? You know, Amanda."
"Is there Amanda Fire in here. I need Amanda Fire."

freakishlywrong May 30, 2012 at 12:41 pm

"Start packing". *Hate-laugh*.

metamarcisf May 30, 2012 at 12:41 pm

My favourite character from The Avengers: Mrs. Peel.

BarackMyWorld May 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm

Was that who Scarlett Johansson wuz supposed to be? I thought the skin-tight black outfit looked familiar…

actor212 May 30, 2012 at 12:47 pm

Black Widow.

BarackMyWorld May 30, 2012 at 1:34 pm

If that was Black Widow, why the hell didn't she use her Widow's Sting or have a Russian accent???

actor212 May 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm

M. Appeal….mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

SorosBot May 30, 2012 at 12:53 pm

When the crappy movie based on that obscure TV show came out, it made sense how a lot of people made jokes like, "It's weird that the Avengers movie only seems to star the Black Widow and Jarvis", since there was a movie based on same ancient, forgotten show that shared it's name with a really well-known comic book; but making the same joke now doesn't really work because the movie is based on the well-know book with the name rather than the obscure show.

BarackMyWorld May 30, 2012 at 1:42 pm

I remember Hawkeye making "Mrs. Peel" jokes in the comics a few times.

noodlesalad May 30, 2012 at 12:41 pm

Isn't this a bit like congratulating someone who was just diagnosed with cancer? That's some cold stuff, O.

edgydrifter May 30, 2012 at 12:42 pm

Romney refused to take the president's call, because his phone doesn't have a servant's entrance.

gullywompr May 30, 2012 at 12:43 pm

Romney's no stranger to clenching.

sharethegrief May 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm

I'm looking forward to the debates. Other than Herman Cain, this is the closest Romney will ever be to a black man.

actor212 May 30, 2012 at 12:49 pm

Oh yea! Who wipes his ass?

sharethegrief May 30, 2012 at 12:53 pm

That's the magic of Magic Underwear.

Self cleaning? I'm gittin' me some o dat.

notanncoulter May 30, 2012 at 12:55 pm

Wait… Herman Cain is a Blah People?
I thought he was from Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan.

Baconzgood May 30, 2012 at 12:59 pm

They speak Cuban there.

notanncoulter May 30, 2012 at 4:21 pm

That explains much.

Not_So_Much May 30, 2012 at 1:06 pm

What about the attendant in his car elevator?

AutomaticPilot May 30, 2012 at 2:03 pm

Oh please – I'm sure he's fired TONS of black men.

Wile E. Quixote May 30, 2012 at 2:35 pm

Yes, but to be fair he baptized their dead relatives afterwards.

notanncoulter May 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm

Can we PLEASE see video of the room full of people behind Obama all laughing their asses off?
And Obama trying really hard to keep a straight face?
Now THAT'S Presidential!

Serolf_Divad May 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm

President Obama said that he looked forward to an important and healthy debate about America’s future, and wished Governor Romney and his family well throughout the upcoming campaign.

I think the call went something like this:

OBAMA: Hello
MITT: Who is this?
OBAMA: Hello, Mitt. It's Barry. Congrats on securing the GOP nomination.
MITT: Uh… thanks.
OBAMA: And oh, that sure is a nice family you've got there.
MITT: Uh… thanks?
OBAMA: I mean really, a nice..nice family. Would be a shame if something happened to them.
MITT: Uh…
OBAMA: By the way, have you heard about that drone hit list I've got?
MITT: Uh…
OBAMA: It's pretty awesome. I just push a button an…. BOOM!
MITT: [silence]
OBAMA: Anyway, send my love to your wife and kids. And give them a big hug. Always hug them like it's the last day you ever see 'em.That's what I say. Never go away angry or upset. 'cause you know… it could be. You just never know.
MITT: Uh… OK.
OBAMA: Well, good luck.

Chicago politics, baby! CHICAGO POLITICS!!!

SexySmurf May 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm

President Obama said that he looked forward to an important and healthy debate about America’s future, and wished Governor Romney and his family well throughout the upcoming campaign.

In other words, Obama told Mittens to kiss his black ass and then said Romney's mother is so fat she sat on a rainbow and Skittles came out.

BaldarTFlagass May 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm

Older news but related; San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich called Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks last week and congratulated his team for defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Western Conference Semi-Finals and wished him luck in his upcoming matchup in the Conference Finals.

actor212 May 30, 2012 at 12:46 pm

wished Governor Romney and his family well throughout the upcoming campaign.

OMG! He politicized Ann!

MrFizzy May 30, 2012 at 1:02 pm

And failed to appropriately acknowledge her MS and horses in the correct context.

Mittens Howell, III May 30, 2012 at 12:47 pm

Obama: Hi Mitt, this is Donald. Congratulations on winning the nomination, and thanks for the amazing blow job at the fundraiser.

Romney: "You're Welcome, Mr Trump. I have to say it was a marvelous experience for me, and I appreciate your support in restoring Amercia to her former glory.

Obama: Sike!!

Hera Sent Me May 30, 2012 at 12:49 pm

Obama: Congratulations on your victory, Mitt.

Romney: You're not the correct height for a president.

Obama: Um, OK. I look forward to debating with you this summer.

Romney: You're a corporation. Corporations are people, my friend. I like being able to fire people.

Obama: Sounds like you need to get some sleep.

Romney: I don't need sleep. I just strap my dog to the roof of my car and hit the road.

Obama: Well, you have a good night.

Romney: Donald says "Where's the birth certificate?"

littlebigdaddy May 30, 2012 at 12:51 pm

Shoulda let Biden do it.

MrFizzy May 30, 2012 at 1:03 pm

Callyson May 30, 2012 at 12:51 pm

Obama: I watched that primary…thanks for the lulz…oh, and it's on, bitch!

Mittens: (puzzled silence…)

Baconzgood May 30, 2012 at 12:51 pm

OBAMA: Is your refrigerator running?

MITT: Which one? I got like 50 in this place.

NellCote71 May 30, 2012 at 1:56 pm

Which house?

Jus_Wonderin May 30, 2012 at 12:53 pm

We need more Bob Newhart.

Mahousu May 30, 2012 at 12:53 pm

Leave to Obama to politicize winning the Republican nomination.

NellCote71 May 30, 2012 at 1:57 pm

At least I had the courtesy of scrolling all the way through the postings to see if someone else was as clever as I, and I say that you, Mahousu, are. Although I was going to say: Just like Obama to politicize the political process.

SorosBot May 30, 2012 at 12:54 pm

Did President Obama also say that he looks forward to stomping Romney's gaffe-y ass in the debates? Because I can't wait to see that.

MissTaken May 30, 2012 at 1:06 pm

You may have to plan on being in SF during the debates because watching Obama hand Mittens his ass is going to be hotter than porn.

SorosBot May 30, 2012 at 1:09 pm

Although that may make it hard to pay attention throughout the debate…

JustPixelz May 30, 2012 at 12:55 pm

Fux News: "Obama ignores imminent Iran nuke war for campaign stunt"

HuffPo: "SHOCKER: Romney answers telephone himself instead of outsourcing to China [NSFW]"

CNN: "Bi-partisanship wins: Obama places call, Romney answers"

Chris Matthews: "Was it smart for Obama to make that call? I mean, Romney is already carpet bombing the swing states in a Dresden campaign to destroy Obama personally and politically. The wing nuts figure he was using a teleprompter in Mecca. He never got any credit for reaching across the aisle, instead his base saw him as weak. So why did he do it? Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero. Your thoughts."

Why does Obama insist on politicizing the 2012 Presidential campaign?

Mitt: Oh, hi Barry. What's up?
Obama: I said I wanted to say congratulations
Mitt: Congratulations? I am programmed to know that human people do that
Mitt: What is this 'congratulations' for?
Obama: For releasing your birth certificate proving that your dad was born in Mexico.

Illogical! Illogical! Norman, correlate!

miss_grundy May 30, 2012 at 5:39 pm

Yes, George Romney was born in Mexico and briefly ran for the Republican nomination for president. I guess he forgot or didn't know that only a natural-born citizen of the USA can run for that office.

What is it about these people???????????

randcoolcatdaddy May 30, 2012 at 1:04 pm

I think there was a misunderstanding here – Obama was simply congratulating himself on his good fortune….

Dildeaux May 30, 2012 at 1:07 pm

I simply can not trust any mahfucker who has never even had a cup of java.

I can trust a badazz who snorted coke and smoked weed. Sounds like my betsest friends and close fambily.

BaldarTFlagass May 30, 2012 at 1:08 pm

Barry: Mitt, you ever played roulette?
Mitt: On occasion.
Barry: Well, let me give you a word of advice. Always bet on black!

Beowoof May 30, 2012 at 1:08 pm

Oh man Obama is even politicizing being a decent human. What a motherfucker.

I'm sure Levi will be calling soon, to ask if he can borrow some money.

Yeah, but that's a typical Wednesday night for Bristol.

He's politicizing his gaffes! Kenyan socialist!

BTWBFDIMHO May 30, 2012 at 1:32 pm

BHO: "Mitt, there's is only one thing I like about you: you're not a Jesus freak, HoHoHo!"

owhatever May 30, 2012 at 1:39 pm

BARRY: Tell me true, Mittster. Did your boys at Bain do that Facebook thing? You know I'll find out sooner or later.

MITT: You mean did we get the bankers to drive up the price way beyond what the stupid company is worth, sell short when all the little guys jumped in thinking it was the next Google, then we sold short, knowing the price would collapse, because the banks were now telling us in advance that it wasn't worth the IPO price. We screwed the 100-share buyers, and pocketed millions?

BARRY: Yeah, like that.

MITT: Of course we did.

Ruhe May 30, 2012 at 2:06 pm

Barry and Mitt on the phone…hmm…Oh! Hell Yeah! Bring back "Get Your War On"!

Wile E. Quixote May 30, 2012 at 2:58 pm

President Obama: Are you sure this is the right phone number for Mitt Romney?
Aide: Why do you ask sir?
President Obama: Every time try calling it it sounds like I've dialed into a fax machine or a modem.
Aide: That's definitely the right number Mr. President.

Actually, I think the call was shorter and went more like this.

Romney: Hello?
