"Pres Obama isn’t someone you wish you could have a beer with,he’s someone you did have a beer with"
With All Due Humility
Posted on 04/24/2012 at 6:00 pm by JM Ashby
-snip-
Check this out, all right. I’m the president of the United States. We only finished paying off our student loans off about eight years ago. That wasn’t that long ago. And that wasn’t easy–especially because when we had Malia and Sasha, we’re supposed to be saving up for their college educations, and we’re still paying off our college educations.
I didn’t just read about this. I didn’t just get some talking points about this. I didn’t just get a policy briefing on this.
We didn’t come from wealthy families. When we graduated from college and law school we had a mountain of debt. When we married, we got poor together. We added up our assets and there were no assets. And we added up our liabilities and there were lot of liabilities—basically in the form of student loans.
“We added up our assets and there were no assets.â€
When the president says he and his wife added up their assets and there were no assets, he may as well be speaking a foreign language to a man like Mitt Romney went to college on his assets which were handed to him. And while that’s fine for anyone who has been afforded that luxury in life, the idea that Romney can in any way relate to the average American is absurd.
To have a sitting president level with his audience and, with all due humility, relate directly to his constituents in this way is something President Obama is uniquely capable of doing. Because he’s been there. Because he knows the value of humility.
No bumper-sticker, television commercial, radio ad, or phony slogan can match this relation in its appeal.
President Obama isn’t someone you wish you could have a beer with, he’s someone you did have a beer with.

Other than DUmmies just who in the hell is going to buy this, the 0bamas are average folks crap?

2. Yes, no matter how they play it, the GOP's candidate is not real.
And 0bama is real? :mental:

7. What an excellent speech! I saw that clip and it was Obama at his very best!
It has the ring of truth. He really connects the dots with people that Rmoney can only dream about (if THAT!).
This is classic. And classy. He does class "warfare" without bitterness or envy or self pity.
The sequel to this is that he wrote some books that became best sellers. He did that. He didn't make his fortune dumping people out of jobs, or driving good businesses over a cliff of debt. He didn't impoverish one single person with his own ambition.
People can connect at the cellular level with this man. Only blood-in-the-eye snarling right wingers cannot empathize because they are mentally ill or mentally midgets.
He only impoverished an entire nation, because of his own ambition. The poor DUmmies actually think that Barry gives a damn about them. All Barry wants is your vote and your money.

15. Talk about keeping it real!
That whole thing gave me goose bumps. Our President is ACTUALLY ONE OF US!

You must play a lot of golf and take a vacation every other week, if you think he is one of you.

10. And got wealthy on his own
So conservatives should actually admire him.

11. This is another reason
This is another reason why the Freepers hate him. He is not an elite, he had roughly the same opportunities as anyone else did and he made the most of them by working hard and graduating from a great school. He then worked hard to pay off his debt and now he became President. The Freepers are more jealous of people who came from similar backgrounds as they did, but achieved more, someone like R-Money they hate less because he is royalty and had a huge head start on them so it doesn't reflect poorly on them that he ended up wealthy, after all, how could Romney have ended up anything other than filthy rich?
They absolutely hate hate hate that Obama came from modest means and is the great American success story that they aren't. I don't think there is any doubt that Obama knows the value of a dollar and knows what a days work means. Romney cannot hide his privileged upbringing. He has never struggled, he has never known the value of a dollar, and I doubt if he's ever labored a day in his life.
Good grief before you know it they wil claim he was born in a log cabin and walked a mile to return 2 cents in change to a customer. :banghead:

17. President Obama is the guy who stopped and helped me get the car started.
Romney splash slush all over me as he blew by -- didn't even look in my direction.

Ask anyone in the area he represented in the Illinois house about that and they will have a far different story. If they are still alive.

Absolutely not! I'd be afraid I would lose my temper.

Good grief, ya'd need a scoop shovel and a coupla days in order to get rid of the bull shit on this thread!

Me too. :-)
This is amusing the dems started this by firing at Anne Romney now they have to try like hell to paint 0bama as just an average ordinary guy. The left will eat it up and the right will roll their eyes and say it's bullshit, because it is.

Yeah...anyone even vaguely familiar with Chicago machine politics would find this Dumbasses statement false on its face.

Tell that to the million people who are no longer in the labor force because they can't find jobs.

Would a bar fight be involved?

Has president double downgrade lowered the price of arugula?
Obama, dog eater, would have also been the guy you snorted a lie with and smoked a few joints (both marijuana and dick).
-
Obama may not have been 'wealthy', but his own story indicates an upper middle class lifestyle.
HOWEVER -- his little speech about being " po' " does betray a truth about both he and the missus.
Neither of them are smart enough, or had grades good enough to get scholarships.
And at the time Obama & the missus were in college (the entirety of the 1980s), virtually every education endowment would throw money at any minority that had shown any sort of intellectual talent.
-
Obummer is too chickenshit to show us his college entrance application and transcripts. It will show he is a liar, that he claimed to be a foreigner, that he barely had passing grades, and that if it was not for affirmative action he would be a poor boy.
-
Both Obamas have sat on their black asses and waited until some white people came along and gave them something....one wrote a book for one and some others gave the other one a $300 thou hospital non-job job.

I would be afraid that he would spike my beer when he found out I was a conservative

He would probably just stick you with the bill. It seems to be the only thing he's good at.

... relate to the average American ...
If the economy we currently have is what we get from someone who can "relate to the average American," then please get me someone who can't relate,... asap.

I thought Obama went to private schools growing up... ?? His family had some sort of money coming in....

Obama's luxurious childhood was paid for by his typical white grandmother and his evil white bankster grandpa while his mama went all over the world living in exotic locales on their (or her baby daddy's) dime.
He's a modern liberal.

Sounds like a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" story. You know, the kind DUmmies hate and claim never happens.
Besides, Obama didn't create himself. He's an assembly line product of Chicago politics. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Two other people had to be kicked off the ballot just so he could be elected. Self-made, my ass.

How do you know any of this if he never produced a single page of his college transcripts? We don't know who paid for his college or if he even attended as a US citizen. He had an Indonesian passport at some point and used it to travel on when there was a federal embargo on travel to that area.
So I guess this DUmbass has access to information the rest of the civilized world doesn't.

I doubt he ever will either

If he weren't a communist his records would have been leaked long before now.

What a crock.
"To have a sitting president level with his audience and, with all due humility, relate directly to his constituents in this way is something President Obama is uniquely capable of doing. Because he’s been there. Because he knows the value of humility."
The words 'Obama' and 'humility' should not be used in the same sentence, unless it was more like "Obama has consistently shown he is completely devoid of humility."
When he met the Queen of England and exchanged gifts with her, he gave her an Ipod loaded with all of his own speeches.
In response to Tea Partiers raising legitimate concerns about the Obama administration unwisely using our tax dollars, Obama snootily said "They should be thanking me."
Last month, for an Easter basketball clinic at the White House, participants used balls that had Obama's face on them.
Also recently, he specifically called out people who donated money to the GOP, and accused them of "Betting against America." So, in Obama's eyes, he's no longer a candidate, or even a president: He's nothing less than America itself.
Obama wouldn't know humility if it bit him in the butt.
Oh, and the one DUmmy's comment about Obama knowing the value of a dollar made me laugh.
This is the man who constantly pushed to raise our debt ceiling and increase government spending, and who flushes millions of our tax dollars down the crapper every chance he can get to finance extravagant parties and exorbitant vacations for himself and his family.

The fact that the waiter brought me the beer I ordered does not mean I "Had a beer with him."

You're right, mumbles ain't humble, at all.

Re: Pres Obama isn’t someone you wish you could have a beer with, he’s someone
who drives you to drink.
Just a thought on humility. This is one of the most difficult character traits to achieve, and also one of the most attractive. Sincere, self-deprecating humor is extremely charming. Anonymous charity is noble.

I had a good year once. I wrote a good size check to the church for the "something-or-other-und" in remembrance of my parents. The church list special gifts and by whom in the Sunday bulletin. Be it$5 or 5 million they just put your name and to what fund but not the amount. I wrote specific instructions on the envelope that I didn't want my donation or the amount printed in thew next Sundays Church bulletin. Well, they put my name and the amount in there. I was so damned embarrassed.
