Barack Obama- a Second Jimmy Carter Term.

Experience, judgment, wisdom.

He doesn’t have any either.

I watched this white-wash in Watertown and could only shake my head in disbelief. He better stick to the tough venues like GMA, SNL and the Spew, cuz any interviewer with half a brain, minimum, would rip him to shreds. This clown spouts so many lies, he would make Franken proud.

(b) given that Iran has vastly more regional leverage than Hamas plus the fact that he’s surely not going to deal with them militarily, he needs to preserve some way of dealing with them diplomatically. Hence the polite fiction that lets him accomplish both goals: Hamas = terrorist = no talking, Iran = head of state = “direct presidential diplomacy.” Much like his blowhard speech about race, it’s nothing but political expedience dressed up as something more thoughtful and principled.

It is more thoughtful and you have explained why. Iran is a regional power capable of influencing more than just events within itself. Yes, this is a good enough reason to talk to them.

How does it feel to have somebody claim you said something you didn;t actually say, Senator? Is what you claim McCain said about you negotiating with terrorists at all like you distorting his “100 Years” remark? Hmm?

Barry is such a Large Richard. Please make him go away.

Translastion: “They are trying to fool you stupid people who can’t think for yourselves. You’re not safer, (even though there hasn’t been another attack on US soil), its just a trick to trick you stupid people who need me to tell you what you stupid people are too stupid to figure out for yourselves”.

THE RISK OF BEING A BULLSHITTER…

is that it’s easy to get in way over your head. If you’re Barack Obama that means speaking on your feet about the history of diplomacy and American foreign policy . This ain’t Kissinger we’re dealing with here — closer……

ROFLMAO at hussein’s stupid remarks. All clinton needs to do is point out that negotiation with state sponsors of terror doesn’t work and he is cooked well done.

If she wants to win she needs to go for his jugular and that will happen any microsecond now…

McNumbnuts is already at that sore spot, guaranteeing a further meltdown.

In a more sane time, such a person would be suitably punished for the traitor that he is. I would actually have some respect for him if he came out of the woodwork and stated, clearly, that he wants to destroy America.

BHO: You want Change!

Thumbsucking Dem crowd: We want Change!

BHO: Yes, we can!

TDC: Yes, we can!

Later, in Teheran….

Ahmadinutjobi: You will give us nuclear weapons.

BHO: I will give you nuclear weapons…

A: You will nuke Tel-Aviv.

BHO: We will nuke Tel-Aviv.

The next day in Caracas….

Yugo: You will assist us in attacking Colombia.

He’s either painfully naive or incredibly duplicitous.

Either way, he’s unqualified to be president.

Much like his blowhard speech about race, it’s nothing but political expedience dressed up as something more thoughtful and principled.

He has surpassed Bill Clinton on the art of triangulation. But I don’t think the country is that stupid, to not take note of it in the general. If the independents fall for him, I’ll quit their party and buy a church. I’ll come up with a political religion. Politics and religion have morphed nicely in this round, and why should I not take advantage of the opportunity, and the tax brakes?

And the kicker? He ends by denouncing Bush and McCain for dishonesty — moments after repeating WaPo’s smear of Maverick’s position on Hamas.

Pot…kettle…

What happened to Mr. nice guy? It appears that Obama’s skin is pretty thin and that he is not unwilling to totally distort the positions of both Bush and McCain to protect himself. The only thing that will allow him to get away with any of his lies is the support of the MSM. Still, he is sounding much less statesmanlike than McCain and this will cost him dearly in the election.

Obama can never be hurt in this campaign because CNN and MSNBC, C-SPAN, public radio and television (that we taxpayers are paying for) are always there for him to pick up the pieces and dust him off again and again. This campaign basically comes down to conservatives versus the news media. Thus far, the corrupt news media seems to be winning.

AP, I am TOTALLY with you on this one! Why do I feel like punching him out! Maybe because he is so darn full of it.
He is calling McCain and Bush liars and divisive??? He is the most divisive figure to be on the scene in a long time.
He is adamant about not meeting with terrorists but dines with Ayers and is willing to talk to Iran–how can he say this–better yet how are people buying it?? Have their brains been taken out like the pod people??
I wish there was a trap door and him and the Mrs. would go away. Not only does he scare me but the people, the adults that back him are darn scary!

I have been saying that for a while, too. But Brooks says he is really “smart”, “Obama being Obama”, and I couldn’t detect the sarcasm that I would have suspected.

So, let’s take that a given. Everyone know’s Obama is smart. So, then, when he says something that sounds really stupid, and you call him on the phone, and the story changes both subtly and significantly, can we then assume that he is in fact a liar and a deceiver?
