10 Quotes That Will Haunt OBAMA
Posted by: WingNut ()
Date: October 02, 2012 11:01AM

All from Politico.com, I can think of at least three juicy ones that were left out...


““I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

“Washington is broken. My whole campaign has been premised from the start on the idea that we have to fundamentally change how Washington works.”

“I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.”


"If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”


“Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now.”

“I think that health care, over time, is going to become more popular.”

“I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.”

“It’s here that companies like Solyndra are leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future.”

“I fought with you in the Senate for comprehensive immigration reform. And I will make it a top priority in my first year as President.”

“What we have done is kicked this can down the road. We are now at the end of the road and are not in a position to kick it any further. We have to signal seriousness in this by making sure some of the hard decisions are made under my watch, not someone else’s.”

TARP worked, the Stimulus FAILED. May have "prevented a complete meltdown" but set the stage for a PARTIAL MELTDOWN.. Unemployment is too high, GDP and growth are way too low to consider Obama even a marginal success.


> Obama ended DADT.

Great if you like that sort of thing...

> Obama withdrew US troops from Iraq.

Possible because of the surge he OPPOSED.

> Obama prevented the collapse of the US auto

He put a bandaid on a deep wound. GM stock is in the toilet and they still owe taxpayers tens of billions. Put you $ where your mouth is and buy GM stock if you think GM is saved.


> Obama ordered bin Laden killed.

And had the information about his location because of the enhanced interrogation techniques Obama opposed.

> Obama ordered drone attacks that have killed
> hundreds of al-Qaeda leaders.

Good for him, but how are executive KILL LISTS without trials better than waterboarding or Gitmo as Barry denounced?

> Obama supports marriage equality.

After not supporting it for the first three years of his term and not supporting it during the referendrum that banned it in NC.

Fearless leader?

No....Opportunist poser.




> Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

OK

> Obama has kept us safe for 3.6 years.
Because bombs malfunctioned and failed to go off in Times Square and on jetliners. He's been lucky, not good. And I wouldn't tell the dead at Ft Hood he kept them safe.


> Obama has masterfully navigated us through
> international crises.

Egypt and Libya are in the hands of Muslim extremists, no?
> Obama gets my vote.

DO you like sustained 8% UNEMPLOYMENT?

Pick your poison. Obama can't blame Bush for the debt but take credit for spending money that "prevented" the collapse of the economy.

I'm reasonable well informed and don't even know what this is.

No exactly, this occured while he was in office but was planned during Bush. He also INCREASED troops in Afghanistin resulting in more US troop death/murders in 3.5 years

GM does not equal the US Auto industry. Ford did not take any bailout money. He bailed out unions

True but then politicized it, leaked out intel, did not provide asylum to the Dr Afridi or his family who provided the DNA which was used verfiy the idenity of Bin Laden. For his efforts the Dr now rots in Pakistani prison.

Opposed to keeping them alive in GITMO for interrogation and intel gathering

forgot to add drone attacks are extended American Citizens on forgien soil

Lieing to the American public about a coordinated terror attack in Lybia & Egypt that resulted in the murder and sodomy of a US Ambassador, claiming it was because of obscure flim made in America that offended Muslims?? The film maker was then arrested on false charges and now imprisoned.

8+% Unemployment. $5 Trillion added to the national debt. Running a TRILLION dollar deficit every year in office. $787 Billion failed stimulus. Stagnant GDP growth. Need I go on?

> Obama ended DADT.

Thuper!

> Obama withdrew US troops from Iraq.

George W. Bush had made that agreement on December 14, 2008. Obama simply honored the US commitment.

> Obama prevented the collapse of the US auto

No, he took it over and the US government purchased a bunch of Volts at a loss to the taxpayer.

Bush ordered him killed too. Obama just happened to be President when the SEAL team executed their orders.

> Obama ordered drone attacks that have killed

Including US citizens. Should US Citizens be executed without trial or sentencing? Is this what we have come to?

> Obama supports marriage equality.

So?

> Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

And workplace discrimination ended immidiately!

> Obama has kept us safe for 3.6 years.

I am sure Ambassador Stevens and his family feel he was kept safe. I am sure the victims at the Fort Hood terrorist attack feel they were kept safe. I am sure that the victims at the military recruiting center in Little Rock, Ark., on June 1, 2009 feel that Obama has kept them safe.

I didn't indicate it would influence his vote and, given the fact that he is an idiot, I never thought it would. It's not like my post was a cure for idiocy and your post is living proof of that. Interestingly, you can't dispute any of the facts I posted.

Actually it is the Republicans who are currently IQ-challenged. Conservatism has lost half of its intellectual firepower. Republicans need to recover traditional conservatism or risk becoming irrelevant.

You're forgetting the time he gathered before a group of illegal aliens and said "Praise be to Allah and the Federal Reserve, so that I may work tirelessly to strip all taxpaying patriots of their handguns and work closely with my pal Bill Ayers to make sure the black man gets a free cell phone."

How do you steal a nickname? You either register or you don't. If you are too lazy or stupid to register, you get what you get and you don't get upset.

Whining about it won't do anything but prove Obama supporters are whiners. You are a whiner, go get yourself a tissue.

When republicans are going to use policies of Bush that fail terribly that needs to be pointed out to help America.

Of course they are, but things would have been much, much worse w/o President Obama's policies.

That was quite a stinging rebuttal, Nutty.

And millions are still employed because of President Obama's policies. There's no such thing as a free lunch, my friend.

Ahh, using hyperbole to masquerade his failures. Too bad the reality is almost as bad as your exaggeration. Then again, you are the idiot that denies Obama started his political career in Bill Ayers' living room.

Liberals MADE banks lower lending standards in their mad rush for justice...

Greedy bankers manipulated the resale of shitty repackaged derivatives that were poorly graded, and extended credit to ANYONE...

Greedy, shitty Americans of all races, religions and party affiliations OVERBORROWED....

The economy tanked..

Barack Obama was an uninvovled bystander when he was in Congress and the only time he raises a hand to do anything is when he points a finger at Bush.


WTF?

As much as earmarks have been demonized, they were the grease to get political wheels moving.

Now we have no earmarks but we have political gridlock. Its hard to say what is better.

One Quote That Haunts ROMNEY
Posted by: Bill.N. ()
Date: October 03, 2012 02:50PM

"Hello. My name is Mitt Romney and I am seeking the Republican nomination for president."

With Romney's political backgound he might have made a credible Clinton Democrat candidate for president. Because of it more conservative Republicans don't trust him. As a result he has to run so far to the right that he is weakening his chances of winning the general election.
