Well, refresh my memory.

I too need a memory refresher.

Where have you been for the past 8 years?

I said "we" not the MSM  :tongue: JK  :cheersmate:

To an extent I guess, I mean really, we all have to laugh at some of the famous "Bushisms" we've been graced with over the past decade.  LINK

Once again though, BEG mentioned "Tit"   :rocker: :rocker:

Matt Lauer brought interview questions for a celebrity, not the President of the United States.

President Obama gave answers like a celebrity instead of President of the United States.

I think the interview went exactly as they both expected.

And I think the reactions to it in this thread are a little overblown.

Shrugs, I seem to recall a few people being hurt by his words.  A certain reporter with sunglasses.  A certain mother working three jobs to support her children.  So on and so on.


Of what and whom do you speak?

We can call a rose a rose -- the new fuhrer is a total asshole and an idiot.

You make his point for him -- he demeans the office by his bearing and stupidity.

I expect a sitting President of the United States to act with more than juvenile decorum, and not like a spolied hollywood celebrity.

I hope he soon learns to act less like a hollywood celebrity and more like a world leader.

I have plenty of serious issues with Obama to take this one too seriously, but I bet this little quip brings his popularity UP with the masses, not down.

The thing is though...this is exactly who he was before he was elected.

I guess I just don't understand the shock. Of course he spoke without tact. That's who he is. People still voted voted him in and they probably ate it up yesterday.

I don't know. Maybe I'm too resigned to what we have for the next four years. Nothing shocks me anymore? Wasting energy on something like this just seem futile.

I have to save up my energy for keeping my job and not going broke.

The new fuhrer must be attacked at every opportunity.  It is up to us, the People, to make it clear that bamboozling a tiny plurality does not provide a mandate.

This communist America hater POTUS must be handcuffed whenever and however possible.

[putting on big meanie conservative hat]  So are you just going to bury your head in the sand for the next 4 years and ignore whatever Obama does and says regardless? [/putting on big meanie conservative hat]

 :-)

Seriously, he needs to conduct himself with a lot more maturity and forethought.  He won't have a teleprompter in front of him when he is dealing with other world leaders.  

Simply put, he ain't a community organizer for ACORN dealing with the boys on the block anymore .

I expect better from a POTUS.

I'm not going to ignore it per se. I'm certainly going to pay attention to it all. But what can my kvetching about it do to change the situation?

I guess I expect this kind of classless dialogue from him for the next four years.

We can wish and hope that he strives for a higher standard of decorum. But you know the old saying, "Wish in one hand, shit in the other, see what you get first."

Absolutely agree. But again, the fact that this guy can't rub two thoughts together without help wasn't a secret. So, we can wish for a guy who has great maturity and forethought but that's all we can do--wish. Most of America didn't care about that or they wouldn't have voted for him.

I don't know. Call me a bad conservative or whatever. I can't waste my energy on every childish, tactless thing that he says.

I guess I am going to bury my head in the sand. I'll see you in two years when we will try to at least stop some of the damage he has caused.

Not that I give a royal crap about the organization, but can you imagine the horror the UN interpreters are gonna face when they have to pretend this ignorant Chicago-schooled roundtooth starts in with his "umm's" and "ahh's" is an important person?  There is going to be a lot of laughter unheard.

This dope needs to resign now.  He's not only in over his head.  His butt is being scraped up by the ruff surface of the bottom of the pool.

That's not what matters.  He is the President of the United States of America.  He should NEVER make personal cavalier comments about a fellow American in that way.  It is classless and demeaning to our office.

He's ignorant of that. Besides, if he said it, then it must be funny, right? And it was about some "typical white people."

Quote
We had eight years of crassness during the First Teenager President's occupation (Clinton).  It was followed by eight years of pure class.  Now we have another pop culture idiot to abide.  That more people don't see the contrast is astounding.

Way beyond astouding. Frightening. But perhaps that's just an indication of how many more people lack the class to see classless behavior such as Barack "Lipstick on a pig" Obama.

Quote
As long as the Big Zero holds our office ransome, we need to be extremely critical of each and every demeaning chip he makes in its pillars.

Whatever criticisms, they really need to be delivered with class, not like he, this thugs/thugettes in the advocacy/adversary media and blogs such as Puffington Host, Daily Kos, DU, etc., deliver.

He deserves the same level of respect he and all of those voices gave former President George W. Bush.

Touche.

And, no, it doesn't, but 63 million of its eligible voters seem to think so.

I feel sorry for Elmer, having been compared to BHO.

Ummm...  Wasn't it over 66 million?  Oh and not eligible, nor even registered.  Just those that actually voted.

The estimate I've seen, and I don't doubt it for a moment, is that 2.2 million fraud votes were cast in strategic locals.  It was all about the electoral, remember?

If you believe what's posted at Wikipedia, they say approximately 69.5 million for Obama and approximately 59.9 million for McCain.

I stand corrected.
