When the cat’s got your tongue, it’s always funny.

But you’ve got to hand it to Obama;
no one stutters better than he with such finesse! Even his “merci beaucoup” is preceded by his infamous STUTTER.

Bwahahahahahaha, HA!

Clearly the reporter is a racist. The symbolism of the contrast between ‘oil’, which is black, and McCain, who is a “white-devil” is designed to accentuate the fact that Barack Hussein Obama is Hawaiian.

A Presidential candidate that says “Thanks, man.” Didn’t Bush go up to the pope after his speech and say “That was awesome your Holiness”? ninjapirate on August 6, 2008 at 10:50 AM

Right out of the Clinton playbook: turn every tough question into a personal attack on you. Possibly to be followed up by whining about how no candidate has ever faced such a hostile press before.

It might work, too.

Has anyone notice that Obama no longer walks? He struts. His arrogance is getting out of control.

And by the way, the fat lady will only be singing in November. Mrs. Obama is already talking about the “transition” for her family (anticipating the move into the White House).

And what a unifer Obama is not. He’s not just responding to Republican elected officials each time he insults Republicans, but to half the country. According to O, we are proud of being ignorant. I must be incredibly stupid, because I didn’t take his advice and rush out to have my tires inflated.

Saul Alinsky student of the socialist movement.

Always try to shape the debate by laying the ground rules for the debator/questioner. Intimidate the questioner to get more favorable, less confrontational questions now and in the future.
Tell them what they want to hear not what you intend to do.
The ends justify the means!

This guy is scary he won’t say what he really wants as most Dems nowadays as they know the people will reject them. They say what the people want to hear but govern to the far left. Just witness the current congress and lockstep Dems behind Pelosi.

How much longer do you think the elitist MSM will put up with the elitist empty suit candidate? Do they love him enough to let him step on their noses from now until election day?

I’d like to think the MSM would draw the line somewhere, but then again, they are little stinking cowards.

Yes, this has been their stratagy for many years.

Remember Kerrys attack on bush opened military records, kerry refused to open his, Remember bushes s e c e r e t draft plan, the dems introduced 2 draft bills to congress.

I am not certain where the dems started with this, smoke screen, point a fingure at somone else every time the dems: have done it, are doing it, or intend to do it soon. I think it started with clinton.

I fell asleep halfway through Obama’s explanation. Reading the transcript, I was like, “Oh, so he claims he supported the bill because it had a provision for green energy.” Uh, well, that’s great. But he still supported a bill which granted tax breaks to oil companies. I frankly don’t care if there was also a provision to save kittens in there. It doesn’t change what he did.

Nice to see he’s getting so defensive, though. “You asked a tough question! THIS IS A CONSPIRACY!”
