PEBO? AFAIK people who live in TriBeCa, SoHo and DUMBO already know about PEBO. Why is OC so far behind?
I would have bet money it wasn't possible to come up with a dumber-sounding presidential nickhame than POTUS.
And why are we just hearing about PEBO with THIS president-elect?
OK, consonants and vowels, I get it.
But why not PEGB? Pronounced "peg-bee."
Won't conservatives call him PEBHO to remind us of that middle name? Not that he's doing much for, say, Palestinians right now anyway ...
Gee and I thought PEBO stood for pretty egg and bacon omelet.
Weenie: Gee and I thought
Who is this "Gee" and why does he/she think like you?
And why hasn't anyone mentioned Peabo Bryson?

Crissa: I don't know. I assume you're not in Germany now since you managed to post a comment, but what happened when you were there? An error message? Complete inability to connect? Or what?
But why not PEGB? Pronounced "peg-bee."
Too late for that, now he's called FEEBO.
I thought Frebo was Bonnie Raitt's bass player.
And why hasn't anyone mentioned Peabo Bryson?
i tried to, but the stupid f'ing spam filter apparently killed my comment.
I thought it was OTMN.
And when he's sworn in, PrezO?
PEBO, man that's totally gonna stick, because Peabo Bryson was (is) such a smooth, innocuous, unscary type of performer. Yet not at all fey or wussy, but totally stable and reassuring. There simply isn't a soul singer who makes for a better analogy with Obama, except maybe James Ingram.
Here's some Peabo (with Roberta Flack):

Since his first action will to create the largest welfare giveaway in history, the appropriate is subvention anointing messiah, or SAMBO.
