Pawlenty: This cheese is delicious. What kind is it? I'll have to tell my wife so we can look for it the next time we're at Sam's Club. Obama: It's brie.
The President: Gee, I thought you were taller.
Tim, my wife's name is Michelle, not Elin.
Obama: How's Minnesota doing?
Pawlenty: Dunno, haven't really been paying attention the last couple of months.
"Excuse me sir, you are in my seat."
Pawlenty: No, no, no. I didn't say those things about your policy. I...uh... Cheers?
Obama: Yes, we all saw which finger Rahm Emanuel is missing, and no, he's not waving hi to you.
Great-More party crashers. I thought we tightened security around here.
Obama: Save yourself the embarrassment - Don't run for president in 2012.
I'm sorry governor, can you please put away the sock puppets? The foreign press is starting to talk.
"So Timmy, I hear that the people of Minnesota feel the same way about you as I feel about Kanye West..."
Obama: "I would like to propose a toast...May 2010 be a year of renewed bipartisan spirit, in the hopes of achieving what is in the best interest of the American people..."
Pawlenty: "I veto that toast..."
President Obama: "Pssst. Could you give me some tips on how to balance a budget?"
