Quotes of the Day
posted at 11:45 pm on February 17, 2010 by Karl
“He definitely saw America as the enemy…
“My sense of him was that he was a pure Marxist socialist and I didn’t see him thinking in terms of race. I just think that’s surprising given what he wrote in Dreams of My Father…
“He and Barack Obama looked like a wealthy gay couple. That’s what I thought of them when I first saw them. My girlfriend had to tell me kind of secretly on the side that they weren’t gay. They were very well dressed…
“I think he’s still a socialist.”
***
“I look forward to working with Ed Morrissey and Allahpundit during a critical period in determining our country’s future.”

It would be interesting to hear how Obama would answer the following:
“What is wrong with Socialism? Why would Socialism be bad for the United States?”
—–
Can anyone here speculate as to how he would answer such a question?
July 10 on February 18, 2010 at 3:25 AM
Remember when he basically pretended to not know what socialism was after the Joe the plumber called him a socialist?
He awkwardly said “What’s ‘Socialis-tic’ about…” using air-quotes, as if it was the first time hearing the word and it was all quite new and shocking to him.
What a joke.
ebrawer on February 18, 2010 at 3:40 AM
He would answer by saying that Socialism is only the 5th stage of humanity as predicted by Marx, and that once the dictatorship of the proletariat is established we need to quickly move to the 6th stage (Communism) by letting the state wither away into anarchy.
ebrawer on February 18, 2010 at 3:42 AM
Sorry, all press conferences and un-staged questions have been banned by the Obama administration.

Obama] is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared about as President of the United States.

I think he would say something about toning down the rhetoric. He isn’t an ideologue after all, so anyone inferring that he was a socialist, was wrong.
That said, he would point to scholars and great minds who have argued that capitalism is wrong. To which, he would assert is the reason government intervention is necessary in the market. But that the need for the market exists nonetheless.
However, socialism would be unsuitable for America because it went against American tradition, history, and culture. He would never say that it was bad.
>>> I think he was asked about a single payer health care system within the past year. He never said it was bad, but said it would go against American traditions and history at this moment.

He would say that socialism is un-American and against everything he is working for. Essentially, like every other thing he has said it would be a LIE.
J.J. Sefton on February 18, 2010 at 6:49 AM
We need to book Barry on “What Not to Wear.” Clearly he needs an intervention since he went from dressing so fussily that folks think he is gay to those mom jeans he wears now.
BTW, two kids and a fat arsed wife doesn’t prove anything. Barry could well be gay.
highhopes on February 18, 2010 at 6:51 AM
Wouldn’t it be great to have a media that would ask this OBVIOUS question!
And so many others they shied away from during the election…and now the country is running right as fast as it can go!

Oh great, now Michelle will look even more beautiful than usual. And I think she even has an interesting thing or two to say at times too, but I’m too jealous of her impeccable appearance to notice.

Hey Jake, ask Gibbs how Obooba would answer this: “Who should control the means of production?”
Akzed on February 18, 2010 at 9:05 AM
Living with a wealthy Pockistaaani, male…Also, he was part of a group who followed an openly gay professor…Now he wants to repeal DADT and subject our military to more sexualization and awkward, damaging socialization of yet a new entitlement class…It all fits for Obama-mao…I don\’t really care what you do in the bedroom, but leave the world\’s best military out of your plans for more social justice for the next entitlement class…

Now that we have at least one witness to the fact that Obama-mao was government subversive at one time, I hope the FBI and CIA are looking for KGB, Red Chinese, and Islamic fundamentalists ties to our dear leader…The CIA have nothing to lose, he declared war on them almost immediately after taking office…I would say a little over-reach for a young arrogant fool who needs to cover up his past life by any means necessary.
Nozzle on February 18, 2010 at 9:21 AM
Its time for the American people to realize that fools like Clinton, Gore, Obama, and many many other government persons at the highest levels have too damn many foreign ties…There was plenty of evidence of illegal chinese contributions to both Bill and Hillary Presidential campaigns…Billy Jeff approved lots of technology transfers to China…Stuff that would never happen under Reagan and Bush Sr…Obama grew up overseas as a practicing muslim…Now, we find out that he lived with a wealthy Pakistani while an undergrad…We don’t know what is on his passport. We know he has a friend in a bomb throwing terrorist Bill Ayers…The military take an oath to support and defend the Constitution…I don’t know if the FBI and CIA take the same oath but they have a duty to protect the American people from enemies both foreign and domestic…Let’s hope they ars still capable of doing so, as I’m sure they have subversives at all levels as well…Good men and women need to step forward…

It really is very strange to me that NOBODY from Obama’s past has come out to talk of the man.
Isn’t that strange?

Has anyone from Columbia ever come forward to say he attended class with him? It’s like Obama’s past has been scrubbed clean.

D2Boston on February 18, 2010 at 10:00 AM
lol now we’re going to give “acquaintances” who didn’t even know him credibility? You guys hate know no bounds. Y’all dudes are haters lol.
Especially after this: “He and Barack Obama looked like a wealthy gay couple. That’s what I thought of them when I first saw them. My girlfriend had to tell me kind of secretly on the side that they weren’t gay. They were very well dressed…”
Notice that everything seems to play to all the paranoid fears and conspiracies that are out there about the guy. I question the credibility of this
Norvell on February 18, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Norvell on February 18, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Fine, Skippy. Come up with people who knew him at Occidental, Columbia, or Harvard. Quote what they say about Obama and cite your sources. And they cannot be Valerie Jarrett or one of his present inner circle. We’re breathless in anticipation.
kingsjester on February 18, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Norvell, I think its time for you to pull up your pants and go to school, or maybe to work at the coffee shop where you sweep the floors…
By the way, its not hate we have here…It’s love of country. And, we are not going to let your dear leader sell a bunch of socialist lies that have failed spectacularly for over a hundred years…

After eight years of “Bush is Hitler”, this is barely a down payment on turnabout-is-fair-play. But I won’t tell you to go away. Your disdain is sweet nectar. lol right back at you.

It’s easier for libs to project all their hopes, dreams and ideology on a blank slate.

redridinghood on February 18, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Well I never thought bush was hitler just a sh*tty president but if that makes you happy alrighty. If believing in what seems to be obvious BS to the passive observer makes you happy alright but notice I won’t believe bush caused 9/11 to couteract you because I’m not childish like a 12 year old and throw away rationality for partisanship.

Just one article found using the magic of google and the words “obama college friends”. Sure you can find more using the same method. However, since they have a positive opinion of him I doubt it is credible to you since you gravitate towards the negative without any critical thinking involved.
I thought it was an apt descriptor of the behavior in this thread…homie
Norvell on February 18, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Lots more to come from Hussein’s past life…I’d bet their is plenty of taped footage from his days as a student, community organizer, state Senator…We know this guy never met a mirror or camera he didn’t like. I would bet Norvell’s fat a$$ that Hussein is on record preaching islamic fundamentalism, social justice, praise of Cuba and the Soviet Union…He has lots of friends getting paid seven figure checks courtesy of the taxpayers who are holding the line for now…We shall see.

Trolls are so cute when they double down on their idiocy.
daesleeper on February 18, 2010 at 10:24 AM
We have to hand it to Sean Hannity. He has bent over backwards, in an attempt to educate Americans, on Obama’s Marxist leanings and associations ever since Obama started his presidential campaign and few cared. Hannity continues to do so and Glenn Beck has joined him. Thank God it’s not too late.
Great job Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck!

Norvell on February 18, 2010 at 10:21 AM
From that Politico article:
Prove to me from this article that Obama attended class at any of the places mentioned, that this “Sadik” was a student, or that anyone at Columbia or Harvard interacted at all with Obama.
kingsjester on February 18, 2010 at 10:30 AM
Coming late to the game here….
That photo of Barry makes him look like a doped-up blues guitarist. Which, by thew way, is a job that he’s better suited for than POTUS.
No disrespect intended towards doped-up blues guitarists. Some of my best friends are doped-up blues guitarists. ;-)
UltimateBob on February 18, 2010 at 10:32 AM
Yet you have no credible hard evidence of any of it(including me being a fat @ss as you say) except paranoia and obvious BS acquaintance stories. I’m sure you believe he had gay sex with a fat white ex-con while smoking crack in the back of a limo too right just because someone said they did who honestly can’t really prove it?

kingsjester on February 18, 2010 at 10:40 AM
Gee, every new revelation about Obama is 100% consistent with all of the past revelations. He was born a marxist, he grew up a marxist, he admired his marxist daddy, he was a marxist in high school, he was a marxist in college, he got his start in politics by marxists, he hung out with marxists in chicaco, his preacher was a marxist, he talked like a marxist, he votes like a marxist, he governs like a marxist.
But I’m with O’Reilly on this topic.
I certainly don’t see any evidence that he he is a socialist Feb 18, 2010, during the mid-morning. After all, he says he isn’t, and we should always believe our politicians.
notagool on February 18, 2010 at 10:40 AM
Norvell,
Maybe the ghey stuff is hitting too close to home for you…Not sure…I’m more concerned that he is a socialist dictator wannabe. His oath of office requires that he support and defend the constitution. The two concepts are mutually exclusive. We already know of Van Jones and Anita Dunn’s communists ties. We know of other maoist in his administration. We saw Mao on the Whitehouse Christmas tree. Sweet, Mao being a godless communists on the Christ Tree. How disgusting…But it fits, it seems Hussein loves to give the covert finger to America…
Nozzle on February 18, 2010 at 10:42 AM
How many of them would you want running the American economy? This is not to say that they couldn’t do a better job, they probably could, but would they be your first choice?
SKYFOX on February 18, 2010 at 10:53 AM
Naturally Obama can not let us view ANYTHING about his college days , yet some people wonder what he has to hide ?
I think we would see more people step forward , but in the back of their mind they know SLICK WILLY is in the back ground and they are not sure how they feel about suicide LOL
ELMO Q on February 18, 2010 at 10:53 AM
It wouldn’t have mattered. Way to many people were slurping up the hope, and change mantra to bother, or care about Obama’s past. He wasn’t vetted. That was noticeable. He wasn’t scrutinized. That was noticeable. Limbaugh, and Hannity preached about this guys past, and present, over, and over, and over up to election day, and no 52% didn’t bother to listen. Clinging to their hope, and change of the future.
Well now we got that, and it’s looking more dire by the day.
capejasmine on February 18, 2010 at 11:19 AM
That was my point. I would rather have Stevie Ray Vaughn or Jimi Hendrix running the country than Barry-0 right now. The would probably do a better job, and they’re both DEAD.
Not that they would be my FIRST choice.
UltimateBob on February 18, 2010 at 11:51 AM
None of this should surprise anyone. Aside from everything we knew during the election what nation does Obama hold up as a beacon of progress and modernity? China.
That always got me and turned me right off with Obama.

Next time Barack visits Berlin for a lovefest he should give his own version of Kennedy’a famous “Ich bin ein Berliner” quote…Hussein’s should be Ich bin ein Communista! Should be a big hit…
