Poor Baby Obama: I Have To Make The ‘Really Hard’ Decisions
« on: March 08, 2009, 10:10:00 AM »


Quote
Two big stories emerged from Pres. Obama’s interview with New York Times reporters aboard Air Force One yesterday:

   1. we have a whining, self-pitying president.
   2. The Times scrubbed from its article the worst of the president’s comments, the ones that revealed him in that self-pitying light.

Fortunately, the Today show had the tapes, and played them this morning. According to Today, when President Obama met with reporters from the New York Times yesterday aboard Air Force One, his goal was “trying to sound hopeful and reassuring.”  Mission not accomplished.  As ambivalent as were the president’s putatively reassuring words on the economy, the delivery was even worse–halting and anything but assured.  Be sure to view the video.

But much worse was his whining when it came to the burdens of his office:

PRES. OBAMA: I wish I had the luxury of just dealing with a modest recession or just dealing with health care or just dealing with energy or just dealing with Iraq or just dealing with Afghanistan. I don’t have that luxury, and I don’t think the American people do, either.

A bit later came this stunning statement, edited out of the Times story but broadcast by Today: ...

While I don't deny that Obama has difficult decisions to make, 1--he has an entire Cabinet to assist him, 2--he doesn't have to live with the consequences of his mistakes, 3--someone should have told him to put on his "big boy pants" that morning and realize he WANTED this job.  It's not all fun and games there, B. Hussein.

They pretty much died with Scoop Jackson and the retirement of Zell Miller.

The Presidency is DIFFICULT????
Who knew..who knew!!!????


This is from the same political ilk that has spent almost 8 years ridiculing President Bushes immediate reaction to 9/11 in that classroom surrounded by children.
He maintained his composure and stature in the face of an unprecedented event.

What is this simple minded idiot going to do if faced with that.....go into the fetal position like the rest of the DUmmies we make fun of here?

OMG. :banghead:

From the transcript

Q. Is there one word name for your philosophy? If you’re not a socialist, are you a liberal? Are you progressive? One word?

A. No, I’m not going to engage in that.

WHAT? Nobody tried the word COMMIE?

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

During his campaign, he stated he would sit down and chat with the offender.

Don't you feel better now, Carl?

Folks, pray for our country.

I'm guessing he thought he could get by with talking a good game instead of actually working at it.
