Quotes of the day

posted at 10:45 pm on September 23, 2009 by Allahpundit

“It was all extremely naïve. The president did everything he could to say: ‘Can’t we all just get along?’”

***
“With Bush, everyone in the world was, just a little bit beneath the surface, a freedom-loving democrat. With Obama, everyone is a peace-loving multilateralist. ‘The yearning for peace is universal,’ Obama said. Of course, so is the yearning for war, or it wouldn’t be endemic to human existence.”

***
“President Obama said during his speech today: ‘For those who question the character and cause of my nation, I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months.’

So the goodness of America is found in the Obama administration?”

Quotes you will never find in an Obama speech:

- “I am proud to be an American.”

- “Large numbers of ordinary, middle-class Democrats, Republicans, and Independents from all over the country marching on Washington?! You know something’s up!”

- “We’re not interested in government fixes; we’re interested in freedom! Freedom!”

- “We’re Americans. We’re always hopeful.”

Really.. they need to make the rest of the film, the one where we take this place back over again and elect a Wolverine to put in the white house.

It’s going to happen in real life. They’ll have to make it a documentary.

Unstinkingbelievable….it’s all about the O

I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months.’

*shudder*

Also the CNN reporter noted that they were expecting a standing ovation after the One was finished, “But it does not look like it is going to happen”, she said.

I bet the President’s had to adjust his ego when he left the stage.

Two words – Unfit. Impeach.

So amazing that he can’t even utter anything close to your quotes. He would have made a fantastic third-world dictator. If we’re lucky, someone may make him an offer he can’t refuse. Then he will learn exactly what our military is made of. Sweet revenge.

sherry on September 24, 2009 at 7:49 AM

If dear leader thinks these UN folks love him more than W because he appeases to them, he’s gotta another thing coming….

he just made the US weaker…

cmsinaz on September 24, 2009 at 7:49 AM

Isn’t the President of the United States,

‘Leader of the Free World’!!

And,let this be a teachable moment not to believe the
Liberal Party has any credibility in Foreign Policy
and National Security!!

Did you post under another pseudonym in the past, or is it my imagination?

‘For those who question the character and cause of my nation, I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months.’

Oh yeah, remember a few months ago when America saved Europe, rebuilt it, and GAVE IT FREAKING BACK!?!? That was a great moment in Obama’s career.

Grafted on September 24, 2009 at 8:10 AM

Does this idjit intentionally want to keep pushing Americans until they show up in Washington with torches and pitchforks? I have never seen a President so oblivious to the concept of American Exceptionalism. As President, he is supposed to be our greatest advocate. Not our greatest detractor.

Outstanding point!

Jeff from WI on September 24, 2009 at 8:30 AM

Maybe I’m just a little slow, but why doesn’t it bother folks more that all of the world’s bad guys seem to love O-Zero? This is a neon-blinking-LARGEFONT-inescapable-sign of a problem!! Chavez-sleaze,Castro-oil,Quacky,and Imadinnerjacket all agree O-zero is just the peachyest dude and should be prez for life. The fact that O-Zero hasn’t denounced crap like that is very worrisome.

Perhaps you just mentoned exactly what his intentions are. If you get some of the “rabble” to revolt and storm the castle with torches & pitch forks, you then look innocent and correct to the rest of the
“rabble” in calling out the palace guard (military) to stop them.

Remember, Obama said you’ll know him by those who he surrounds himself with. While it does mean cabinet officials and advisers, it also means supporters.

His cabinet officials are nothing to write home about either.

I bet all the toilets at the UN are clogged cause everyone one there yesterday is full of sh*t

bluegrass on September 24, 2009 at 9:06 AM

And that includes the son of Africa

bluegrass on September 24, 2009 at 9:07 AM

Hypocrisy, thy name is Barrack Hussein Obama!

I heard this yesterday and I screamed at the monitor. So many administration actions and policies in just nine months have proved these statements to be the lies of a media whore.

This man and his defenders, supporters, and enablers make me sick. Obama lied, America died.

ExpressoBold on September 24, 2009 at 9:16 AM

yoda on September 24, 2009 at 7:43 AM

No, he didn’t, because Kadaffi loaned him the envelope he normally uses for his own ego.

unclesmrgol on September 24, 2009 at 9:31 AM

It’s official–I’m suffering Obama Derangement Syndrome. I mean, I really, really hate that serpent-like creature. I cannot even call him a man, as that would be an insult to all of the good men I know. He is:

vile

sinister

diabolical

narcissistic

What am I leaving out here?

may his mattress turn to a gravel covered stone slab.

Griz on September 24, 2009 at 9:34 AM

Megalomania + Big Ears = Obama

The man who would rule the world has very dangerous delusions. Obama doesn’t come across as dangerously deluded as Gaddafi but that doesn’t mean he’s not a bigger threat.

RandyChandler on September 24, 2009 at 9:47 AM

Obama was seen handing out these articles of clothing to all after his speech.

Humjob-In-Chief.

Something Europeans always seem to forget.
But then many children are rarely thankful these days.

Badger40 on September 24, 2009 at 10:08 AM

He’s the most dangerous person in the world since Stalin died.

Because his ego is just as big.

And he’s already doing unbelievable harm to our country.

And in his mind, it’s just the begining.

I was just trying to be funny. I was here as well when the fish man came to the site. Must have too late for me to make sense. Sorry.

d1carter on September 24, 2009 at 11:17 AM

Why does BO always have that constipated look when he speaks? Is he trying to look thoughtful and wise?

And way to support democracy in Honduras, Iran, Venezuela, and Georgia, champ.

“President Obama said during his speech today: ‘For those who question the character and cause of my nation, I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months.’

Aside from speechifying, exactly what has he done that’s concrete?
