The Rules

1. Before Barrack Obama's next televised speech, prepare your "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
1-inch blocks.

2. Randomly 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")
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!"

Testimonials from past satisfied "Bullshit Bingo" players:

"I had been listening to the speech for only five minutes when I won." - Jack W., Boston
"My attention span during speeches has improved dramatically." -David D., Florida
"What a gas! Speeches will never be the same for me after my first win." - Bill R., New York City
"The atmosphere was tense in the last speech as 14 of us waited for the fifth box." - Ben G., Denver
"The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed "BULLSHIT!" for the third time in two hours." -
