Translation of “wee-weed” requested *UPDATED*

What the heck does Obama mean by “wee-weed?”
“There’s something about August going into September where everyone in Washington gets all ‘wee-weed’ up,” the president said.
My first thought was that he was making some bizarre reference to the old children’s rhyme: “This little pig went to market, and this little pig stayed home. This little pig had roast beef, and this little pig had known. And this little pig cried ‘wee, wee, wee’ all the way home.” That is, he’s accusing American citizens of being squealing little pigs, which is scarely a complimentary image.
Alternatively, perhaps Obama is talking about people so scared they pee on themselves, with “wee-weed” being a variant of the child’s term for urinating (“wee-wee”). Again, not a very nice thing to say.
Or maybe Obama was trying to speak French — “oui-oui’d” — thereby launching an underhanded attack against the French, who haven’t been known for military prowess or bravery since Napoleon’s defeat. And again, if that’s true, it’s insulting both to French and Americans.
Basically, I can’t put a positive spin on this one. Do you know what the phrase means?
UPDATE: Bruce Kesler, who blogs at Maggie’s Farm, offers this explanation: “It means that O just peed on himself in public, himself tensing up and losing control of his bladder-mouth.”
UPDATE II: Michelle Malkin is as befuddled as I am, but Terresa, who blogs at Noisy Room, may have found the answer. If she’s right, I can only say, what inexcusable crudity from the mouth of the president of the world’s most powerful (at least for now) nation.
UPDATE III: Jim Miller thinks he also may have discovered what Obama was really trying to say.

Sounds to me like a piss-poor use of language.
I’ve never heard of “wee-wee” outside of the context of urine.
Even IF that is what he was referencing, it still doesn’t make sense.
It makes you wonder: what DO they teach at Harvard?
Weed. It’s good for you.

It’s the purge, people. It’s time for a purge.
Washington exiled the Loyalists to Canada after the Revolutionary war. They were purged and America benefited from this, rather than gathering them together in a concentration camp and executing them or just letting them rot as FDR did.
The Nazis were purged. The Baathists were purged. The corruption and drug abuse in the military was purged.
America needs a purge. Because America will either purges used by evil or purges used by good, nuclear weapons used by Stalin and Hitler, or nuclear weapons used by us.
People sitting on the fence talking about how they don’t want to go too ‘extreme’ in defense of liberty or what somebody else fought and died for their benefit, don’t really have much voice with me.
I wonder if it is his way of saying people are full of piss and vinegar? The urban dictionary has this definition for that phrase which fits the context: “What someone is full of when they are causing trouble to someone or being sarcastic.”
Hawaiian ebonics?
Obama instroduced me to the okey-doke last year. It was clear that, as a Chicago politician who cavalierly walked his boots into office over the sprawled bodies of other black people, that he knew all about the okey-doke from personal experience. Just another tactic to defeat people in your way, no matter who they are.
This is one cold, cold, cold, cold man. Remote, like a quasar blinking at you through the endless depths of space, from a billion light years away.
Even when he’s pissed because he’s finding it difficult to get his way, his anger seems disconnected. We just cannot see the real Obama. I suppose that’s why he’s able to convince so many he’s on their side when he’s on no one’s side.
He understands how important strong communication is, but only as manipulation. Because he cannot ever speak his true mind, he carries the teleprompter around on his back to guide him through the correctly chosen words. Without the teleprompter, he falls back on pathetic attempts to “be cool”, and to convince everyone that everything is just fine. “Ok, now. Ok, there. Glad you’re fired up!” – when they’re not fired up, they’re hootin’ and hollerin’ cause he’s stumbling around through his “uh, uh, uh’s” because he hasn’t a clue what to truly say.
And so now everyone in Washington – well, at least those who are against him, and those who are frightened of losing power to angry constituents, are all wee-wee’d up.
What the heck does that mean? Nothing good! I think we’ll find out it’s merely Chicago slang for f’ed up. A substitution that you can *barely* say in a public social setting… but you still will not look very good.
This guy is quite the piece of work.
Masterful, MikeD, masterful!
Not really on topic, but I have to speak up for the French somewhat. Total French killed in World War I were 1.7 million (4.3% of population), compared with 1 million (2.2% of population) for Great Britain. Even the short campaign of 1940 cost about 100,000 killed.
This is an understandable, disciplinary comment if we picture Mr. Obama shaking his finger at us whilst he castigates our national unruly behavior in opposing His authority.
The French in WWI was apt to send the young and the brave to die at the front to machine guys, something Pershing refused to let happen to his Dough Boys. Which is also why France’s government in WWII was called Vichy, the brave suckers all died in WWI.
