"What the hell is this?" Jenny Samuels, 21,
shouted in her dorm room at Georgetown
University
"Yeah!" agreed roommate Kelly Chen, also 21.
"Last time, they only pre-empted 'Friends,' so it was no big deal. But to
think Obama has the nerve to interrupt the live finale of 'So You Think You Can
Dance?'
"The whole situation just makes me want to rip all the
hair out of my head!" Chen added before unleashing an animalistic shriek
of rage and smashing the television remote against the wall.
College students weren't the only ones angered by Mr.
Obama's decision to deliver a live, 15-minute speech during prime-time.
Stockbrokers Gary Thompson and Ed Stern were sitting at a bar in Manhattan
"You have to be [expletive] kidding me!" Thompson
lamented as the president stated his case for increased American involvement in
the always-volatile Middle East . "I
worked hard all day gambling with other people's money. All I want to do is sit
back with a drink and watch my favorite TV show. Is that too much to ask?
"That bastard's lucky he's in his last term," Mr.
Stern chimed in. "There's no way I'd vote for him a third time."
Ten minutes later, incensed by President Obama's refusal to stop "yammering away about stuff no one cares about," Stern hurled his martini glass across the room then punched a fellow bar patron in the face several times, triggering a brawl that resulted in six arrests and four hospitalizations.
