How UN-Presidential is this sh!t.

Andy in Agoura Hills on February 10, 2009 at 8:40 PM

Extremely. I find myself saying that just about every time I see him.

What’s with him kissing her? Is that really called for?

Ampersand on February 10, 2009 at 9:39 PM

Hey guys I found what was hanging around the lady’s neck. Look here.

I long for politics before the Age of Oprah. When adults were adults. I’m surprised Frank Luntz isn’t on TV somewhere with dials and boxes and analyzing this clip. “Now HERE’S when the dials went off the chart…now just watch this….”

Marcus on February 10, 2009 at 9:45 PM

Ampersand,

No, it’s not.

It’s another indication that he feeds off those adoring crowds.

Is it just me or does Frank Lutz make your skin crawl? He got a little cocky during the election but failed to realize the only network who wanted his services was Fox.

sherry on February 10, 2009 at 9:50 PM

What’s he done for his brother lately?

And what did he do for his aunt before the light was shown on her?

Ignorant masses.

Katy, read the entire article….scared the white off of me. Thanks for the link, I have forwarded it to friends and family.

milwife88 on February 10, 2009 at 10:06 PM

Why does he need a revival and another campaign when he controls both houses of Congress? The damn thing is passed! All I can think of is that the PR from constituents is so bad that they are afraid to pass it even with the votes. This shows that Obama does not control his party at all (and that’s a good thing).

PattyJ on February 10, 2009 at 10:06 PM

milwife88 on February 10, 2009 at 10:06 PM

It was so acurate. I have sent this to everyone I know who wasn’t quite sure what they were seeing in this man. It is shocking how he fits the bill.

katy on February 10, 2009 at 10:09 PM

This idiot hasn’t even been in office for a full month and I’m already losing my mind.

Wait till his 1st 100 days are over…..you’ll be batshitcrazy by then.

Old Hippie Vet on February 10, 2009 at 10:14 PM

IF you notice at around :20 Obama says, “Hi Henrieta there’s a microphone behind you..” And then later asks what her name is. This was so choreographed. I am sure she was driven over from her new rent free house just for this appearance.

ihasurnominashun on February 10, 2009 at 10:15 PM

So unbelievably creepy.

Not only is Lincoln turning over in his grave, so is Monty Hall.

It’s his customary greeting for all female contestants on Governing Philosophy Feud.

Jim Treacher on February 10, 2009 at 10:32 PM

Taxes on the house? She’s just following Rahm’s lead and living in a friend’s house rent free…

She’ll just “free rent” a room like Rahm did to be sure she won’t owe any taxes. Surely there aren’t “two sets of rules” in this country, so she won’t owe any taxes at all… right?

gekkobear on February 10, 2009 at 9:09 PM

Unless the rent-free use of the residence represents compensation for services that she’s providing to the owner, there are federal income tax consequences. That said, this might be a caretaker arrangment–rent-free use in exchange for taking care of the residence.

More likely, the owner is making a taxable gift of the fair rental use of the residence to the woman. If it doesn’t exceed $13,000 in 2009, it needn’t be reported on a gift tax return. Oh, though the owner is doing a good deed, the fair rental value provided to the woman is NOT deductible as a charitable contribution deduction. The woman doesn’t consitute a qualified charitable donee.

Anyone with a better answer?

o.m.g.

I’m literally nauseous right now.

ihasurnominashun on February 10, 2009 at 10:15 PM

Hey, give Barry a break. He promised unparalleled transparency in his administration. I can’t think of anything more transparent than this hokey attempt to gin up support for the immediate enactment of the stimulus bill.

BuckeyeSam on February 10, 2009 at 10:43 PM

Obama is just Oprah, but instead of his own personal wealth, he is using our blood, sweat, and tears to award those who don’t work with cars, houses, and a kitchen!!

James on February 10, 2009 at 11:13 PM

Are only Obama loyalists allowed into these rallies? I am guessing employed people, and those looking for jobs can’t make it to one of his “campaign” rallies, but does anyone think Obama is pre-screening these people to avoid another Joe the Plumber fiasco?

Also, do you think Obama will invite John McCain or Mitt Romney to debate him at these Townhall’s? Since it seems Obama is in perpetual campaign mode, using the presidency to pay for his 2012 run. It would only be fair to offer a GOP challenger an option to debate, especially since he turned down such an offer a few short months ago.

James on February 10, 2009 at 11:20 PM

She didn’t say “I love you Barack.”
Her lips didn’t move enough to pronounce that many syllables.
I think she said, “I love you, god.”

juanito on February 11, 2009 at 12:04 AM

For an unemployed woman reduced to living in a car, Henrietta certainly is dressed well!

ToddonCapeCod on February 11, 2009 at 12:04 AM

Isn’t Henrietta a “prominent” person now? When will the gov’t computers start mysteriously spitting out searches of her information to the press?

Oh, wait, that only happens to those who dare criticize the O.

James on February 11, 2009 at 12:07 AM

As I pointed out continually during the election campaign, Barack has narcissistic personality disorder. His main motivation in being an elected official is to secure public adulation, and that doesn’t come easy when confined to an office. He has to get out there and feel the love of the crowds. And if he can increase the adoration by demonstrating his love in return, then he’s got even more emotion to feed on. Obama needs help. Then again, with him in office, so do we.

NNtrancer on February 11, 2009 at 12:09 AM

Wait til she finds out he ain’t paying for her new hip. dumb ass.

bloggless on February 11, 2009 at 12:10 AM

As I looked at the video, it’s apparent that she isn’t saying “I love you.” Those require the lips to protrude, whereas hers are directed inward as if saying “my.” I’m guessing that she’s saying something like “You are my chocolate bunny.” Notice the kiss she blew him afterwards?

NNtrancer on February 11, 2009 at 12:15 AM

She’s just another shower fantasist.

ddrintn on February 11, 2009 at 12:33 AM

What I don’t get about Henrietta and her son is a couple of things. They are homeless because her son has been without a job since… 2003? So for SIX years no job? During the peak of the boom… no job?

Guess this is all Bush’s fault.

James on February 11, 2009 at 12:33 AM

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29127402/

Hughes is expected to look at the house for the first time in the next few days.

Wouldn’t a truly homeless person look at a house right away?

ihasurnominashun on February 10, 2009 at 10:15 PM

You’re an idiot. I just looked at the clip and he says no such thing. He says “Go ahead here you’ve got the microphone right behind you” after calling her. Here’s a link to the full exchange since most of the media clips start with her talking. God why do people make up this stupid crap.

Sickening. I can’t wait until he’s forced to leave the White house in disgrace via Marine 1.

Heh, clever one. This ain’t no “feud”. This is a hot clusterfark, a dog-like coitus, if there ever was one. No feuding, just farking, altogether.

……….. my thoughts exactly as I see all those “Obama 08″ stickers on cars driving around town.

Seven Percent Solution on February 11, 2009 at 2:54 AM

How lame. SO I need a car…I guess all I need to do is send my request to the messiah and I will receive one? Maybe he has one laying around he doesnt need.

This was obviously all staged….and it totally grosses me out.

becki51758 on February 11, 2009 at 5:48 AM

Well, OK. But you may have quite a long wait for a government appointed shrink.

It’s a right…

Mark Garnett on February 11, 2009 at 8:56 AM

What really galls me (other than the obvious) is that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of military families that have been affected by the housing market crash – including my own. We cannot move, because our house will not sell, and now my husband is in another state – and he’s not the only one trapped like that. Instead of helping out the military families, he brings attention to and helps a suspiciously sympathetic free-loader that kissed his dainty dupa.

I don’t want a hand-out – I just want the President to get his priorities re-aligned. Silly me for thinking that the military members, who have sacrificed so much for this country, should be offered help before those that weren’t patriotic until Teh One was elected.

Anna on February 11, 2009 at 8:58 AM

I give it a week. During her inevitable press tour, she will let it slip that she was either coached, or they approached her. This just doesn’t add up.

Dubn8tr on February 11, 2009 at 9:00 AM

Perhaps she was just saying ” Olive oil Barrack”

Blatz on February 11, 2009 at 9:03 AM

You know, I really resent that guy who works at McDonald’s. I worked at McDonald’s for four years. I never expected any benefit other than my pay check. I was in college, too.

Oh, yeah, I paid 100% of my college expenses by working at McDonald’s AND a job on campus. I worked hard, got my degree, and guess what happened? I got a job with benefits!

What a freakin’ crybaby! “Baby talk, baby talk, it’s a wonder you can walk!”

ladyingray on February 11, 2009 at 10:54 AM

Barry gives new meaning to the perpetual campaign. And that ‘I love you’-lip syncing woman–creepy.

redfoxbluestate on February 11, 2009 at 11:48 AM

This is the kind of house that she and many, many other americans are going to get thanks to B. Hussien Obam and the democratically controlled congress.

These people had no choice but to seek alternative forms of shelter.
