Be afraid, very afraid

Let’s imagine that it’s not breathtakingly stupid to embrace the woman who kissed Suha Arafat – right after Arafat ranted about how Jews poison Palestinian children – as some kind of Atlas holding up the US-Israel alliance. I mean……

“I think she’s going to be a outstanding Secretary of State”.

Our president-elect doesn’t know how to speak correctly. Sad.

Bush wasn’t much better.

“I think she’s going to be a outstanding Secretary of State”.

Our president-elect doesn’t know how to speak correctly. Sad.

Its gotsta be thems Ebonics!

Obama; an arrogant pompous pandering charlatan that scoffs at any hint of criticism and laughs off honest questions about his character. God help us.

But what really gets me, in this clip, is his whining about the press “having fun” with quotes that were “generated” during the campaign. First of all, “generated”? WTF, Barry, give me a break. But the main issue is Obama, of all people, acting as if he’s being treated unfairly by the press. Outside of O’Reilly, that was arguably the toughest question he’s gotten so far, and it’s actually a very legitimate question, not a “gotcha” at all. What a piece of sh**… Look what we’re in for for at least the next 4 years folks.

“I think she’s going to be a outstanding Secretary of State”.

Our president-elect doesn’t know how to speak correctly. Sad.

And an Ivy Leaguer to boot, with an IQ that’s “off the charts”, whatever his IQ might be.

If that reporter had more of a spine he’d be offended by the suggestion that he’s “having fun” by serving the public interest in asking a serious, fair question and would tell the “President-elect” just that. They aren’t just quotes being “drummed up”, they’re his words, and wasn’t it his words that were so important in getting him where he is?

If this is how he intends to deal with the press as president, we need not expect any reduction in the condescension from the last administration.

I agree that they are his words and he needs to provide a valid explanation of his blatant hypocrisy in such a serious
decision.

But don’t expect the press to do anything like hold him accountable or even dog him a 1/4 of the way they dogged Bush,it is not their mission,this is:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Yeah, well, you know what? I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new presidency work, and I think that –
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Is that your job? You just talked about being a journalist!
MATTHEWS: Yeah, it is my job. My job is to help this country.

No,I don’t expect to see a lot of these liberal activist that refer to themselves as journalist holding Obama accountable at all these next 4 years.

Nice dodge.
Not the “hope and change” straight talk that you advertised though.

Also noticed the Dow tanking as Obama was making his foreign policy team announcements.

When he made his financial team announcments he was credited with making the Dow go up.

If that logic holds water,than your foreign policy team is getting a big thumbs down “Mr. Hope and change”.

Our president-elect doesn’t know how to speak correctly. Sad.
