Lingo

Today I heard a snippet of a speech of Obama's. Don't worry; the context doesn't matter. Anyway he used a phrase that he and his wife use over and over: "... get it." As in "John McCain just doesn't get it." Or "You need someone who gets it." Gets what? I 'get it' when it comes to Obama - just say no.

This is kin to the phrase, "I'm just not feeling it." "I'm not feeling this video game right now." Or "I'm not feeling this dress." Well, I'm just not feeling Obama.

It's somewhat comforting that John McCain is a grown-up and isn't trying to relate to the kids all the time. Could you imagine him saying, "I'm just not feeling this immigration thing right now."
Obama needs a few more years around the grown-ups before he'll be ready for the top job.
