About another 3564 times.
Pick a number, any number.

Who remembers the MSM unloading on President Reagan for saying "I don't remember" about certain aspects of Iran/Contra?

Obama when he gets busted for something: I wasn't the me I knew.

re: #16 snowcrash

So ignorance is his excuse. Nice.

No chance, he's lying period.

Obama is the idiot bastard son of Sgt. Schultz and Captain Renault.

ditto on what Charles said.

But hey, it worked the first 5 times...why NOT use it again?

Let's see. Obama has all these longstanding relationships with Bill Ayers, Bernadine Doern, Jeremiah Wright, Pfleger, Rezko, and all the rest (that's getting to be a big list), and yet he now says he has no idea about these guys' backgrounds?

Who is he trying to fool? Well, I guess he's managing to fool many a Democrat who is going to pull the lever for him in November.

The fact is that he's an empty suit with no experience whose ties to terrorists (and yes, that's exactly who Doern and Ayers are), felons (Rezko), and racists and anti-Semites (Wright and Pfleger) should be more than mere troubling - it should raise serious questions as to his character and fitness to lead the nation - which is to say he lacks the character or fitness to lead.

This guy doesn't even know his own friends well enough to see trivial little things like this coming, yet he thinks he understands our enemies and their doings well enough to sit them down and successfully ask them to stop being so mean to us? His arrogance may never cease to astound me.

If this keeps up, Obama will be "saddened" when Iran starts nuking cities after promising Obama they wouldn't.

As often as he wants or needs to, apparently, for all the scrutiny he gets from the MSM.

re: #17 Kosh's Shadow

And when Obama is elected, and stabs Israel in the back, there will be many liberal Jews who say "This isn't the Obama I knew"

I posted this earlier this morning in another thread:

I'm angry this morning...I've been angry since watching Obama address the AIPAC conference. Until very recently he was entrenched in the TUCC led by Jeremiah Wright. Yes, we all know about Jeremiah...but what I can't fathom is how Obama has the audacity to show up at the AIPAC conference and pretend to be a friend of Israel after years of sitting in the pews and hearing how Israel has illegally occupied Palestinian territories. This is what our friend Jeremiah had to say in the June 2005 Trumpet Magazine:

The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian
territories for almost 40 years now. It took a divestment
campaign to wake the business community up concerning
the South Africa issue. Divestment has now hit the table
again as a strategy to wake the business community up
and to wake Americans up concerning the injustice and
the racism under which the Palestinians have lived
because of Zionism.
The Divestment issue will hit the floor during this
month’s General Synod. Divesting dollars from businesses
and banks that do business with Israel is the new strategy
being proposed to wake the world up concerning the
racism of Zionism. That Divestment issue won’t make the
press either, however.

Is all this "not the ______ I knew" enough grounds to legitamatly question Obama's judgment?

Accepting that he actually "didn't know"....wouldn't that be an even larger reason (than he did know, but that is how he rolls) to keep him out of the Office?

I'd rather a Leftist that is honest about it, then a guy who didn't know he was dealing with Domestic Terrorists, Racists, the NOI, and Crooks. Especially when his entire Foreign Policy is based on sitting down with our Enemies and "feeling them out", and using his greater judgment to figure where they are coming from and "buliding bridges". If Obama's judge of character is this bad......

Sometime in 2010?
"Millions perished today, as a nuclear missle was launched from Iran into Israel. In a statement, President Obama said, "This is not the Achmadinajad I knew from our 2 years of working together. I am deeply disappointed and saddened. Nonetheless, I hope this doesn't rule out Iran as a legitimate partner for peace in the region. We cannot leave any voices out of the dialogue in the healing that is to come."

If we REALLY want to sink Nobama and his campaign we don't need to show his association with all the people that hate, despise and want to see the US come to an end. That is what they praise. We need to show that he had a lifelong friendship with Pres. Gerald Ford, Pres. Ron Reagan, Carl Rove, Pres. G.W. Bush and any other number of conservative Republicans.

You're right. He pardoned Susan Rosenberg, who was involved in the Brinks heist that resulted in the death of two cops and a security guard.

If you use 140 innings as a benchmark, he can make at least 20 starts of seven innings. If they make a move this season, expect that number to go out the window.

Sure, it smacks of desperation since Hughes and Kennedy have done squat so far, but he needs to be a starter from here on.

My answer about Illinois: Yes.

Illinois is both North and South. The bulk of the state, north of US-50 is pretty much "Northern" while south of there, the state is fairly "Southern".

My doorman in my building has assembled a 3 page sheet of "inconvenient" facts on Obama that he plans on handing to any resident of our building who tells him they plan on voting for Obamaramadingdong.

One of two things are occurring here Mr. Obama. Number one is you are assuming the average voter in the US is a fool and really believes your line, or number two you are a naive fool who has no idea what kind of friends and associates you have. I think number one is the correct choice, but either way you are a loser on this event.

Obama cannot keep this up. One of two things is true here:

1) He did not know Rezko was a sleezebag and thus is incompetent
2) he did know and thus associates with known felons. Either way he loses.

It's almost impossible to get decent pitching on the market nowadays; teams lock up the young arms and it costs a fortune to get a guy like Santana, althought in hindsight they probably should've done that deal. Oh well.

I'm still enjoying the SB victory, so I can handle a down year for the Yanks.

Bottom line: Obama's either lying or clueless. (I think it's the former.) The pivotal question is which is worse, should he become the next POTUS?

They're not fooled, they are deaf, dumb, and blind. And they don't care. To them, that's not the point. Obama is their answer this election, come hell or high water. Americans, in general, I don't think really care about this stuff being uncovered by Obama. It's put down to nasty politics. Traditionally, no matter who has been in the WH, it doesn't really affect the average person's life. These warning lights going off everywhere that BHO and a fully demo controlled Congress will definitely negatively affect our lives has no impact. It won't be of concern until something is too late.

He might want to just leave them in the elevator and not do that personally. Angry moonbats don't tip well and besides, it's usually best to leave politics out of the job?

If this is in NYC, he's better off just biting his lip. I know a couple doormen in my friend's building in Tribeca and they tell me they just try to smile and be courteous to people since they know they're courting trouble messing with certain people.

And remember, the sole--single, only, unitary, exclusive--reason he gives the electorate to vote for him is his "judgment". In light of no experience, pick me for my judgment. Okay, let's look at your well-known associates.

Rev. Wright, Obama's "Spiritual Mentor" and father figure of 20 years - bigot, loon, conspiracy-mongering, anti-American filth who rapes the name of God to spew hatred from the pulpit
Rev. Pflegger - see above
Rev. Meeks - see above
Rezko - fairly large-scale criminal
William Ayers - home-grown unrepentant American terrorist
Powers - anti-Israel, anti-logic, anti-history, unhinged when asked basic questions in interviews
Malley - see above
Brzezinski - anti-Israel bigot who assisted in creating some of America's worst national security failures under America's worst sitting and ex-President, Jimmy Carter

But he didn't the true character of any of these people, people he surrounded himself with?

And I am told I must trust his 'judgment' with tyrants and despots like Ahmadinijad, Chavez, and Castro.

He isn't going to be advocating anything. We all love our doormen here and lots of people have casual conversations in the lobby about a lot of stuff. I assume they think because he is a member of the doorman union that he would tow the Obama line. But he hates his union and he hates Obama, so he told me if people are going to go out of their way to bring it up with him, he is going to go out of his way to share his thoughts. No one will tip him any less, hes been here forever and everyone loves him to death.

Sure, based on the first two months, you're right. I think the money was too high and who knows what Santana might be in four or five years. Hughes was the No. 1 pitching prospect the last two years so I think there's hope for him.

Scary thought right now: Mussina, with nine wins, is their best starter. Who could have seen that even in mid-April?

Generally, I'd agree with you - except that I think Obama is lying in order to conceal his deep-down disdain for this country. That was not the case with Nixon.

re: #33 lawhawk

Let's see. Obama has all these longstanding relationships with Bill Ayers, Bernadine Doern, Jeremiah Wright, Pfleger, Rezko, and all the rest (that's getting to be a big list), and yet he now says he has no idea about these guys' backgrounds?

Who is he trying to fool? Well, I guess he's managing to fool many a Democrat who is going to pull the lever for him in November.

The fact is that he's an empty suit with no experience whose ties to terrorists (and yes, that's exactly who Doern and Ayers are), felons (Rezko), and racists and anti-Semites (Wright and Pfleger) should be more than mere troubling - it should raise serious questions as to his character and fitness to lead the nation - which is to say he lacks the character or fitness to lead.

Either his ties to these individuals is deliberate out of ideology or done out of political expedience.

Taking Obama at his utterly implausible word, that its merely a coincidence that he's closely associated with a bunch of shady characters, then the only reasonable conclusion is that the guy is a total rube, unable to see he's being manipulated.

In other words, Obama is telling us in his own words that he has no insight into human character.

Ipso facto, he's unqualified to be POTUS, and triply unqualified to sit down in unconditioned face-to-face talks with all of the world's despots.

re: #153 Iron Fist

I think he doesn't care really whether people buy this. There is hardly anything that has hurt him so far; his fans including the MSM love him no matter what.

Well, as long as he's got some seniority in him and people like him, but I find often it's best to just leave politics out of discussion with certain people.

Forgot about the union, so he's probably safe anyway. I'd just recommend he doesn't do anything that'll affect his wallet for this year. Especially since if Obama gets elected, we'll all be suffeing economically.

I don't want to jinx him, but I've thought the same thing considering he's leading or tied for the lead in wins ... and the All-Star game is at the Stadium. When you think about all the guys older than him who are still successful it's not really a surprise a bright guy like him can adjust his game. He looked out of his element trying to throw gas but now is relying on his knowledge of the hitters and placement. You never know, this could extend his career a few years. And he's working with the kids on how to pitch, so hopefully some wisdom rubs off.

Don't worry Barry, O'reilly wouldn't dare to bring this or any of your other long time associates up. So, when can I expect to see your ears on The Factor?

Barack Obama hasn't even completed his first term as a United States senator, yet is running for president. One can honestly make the claim he isn't qualified, but because of his race, has been embraced by the liberal establishment as a means of assuaging their self-induced white guilt curse.

Thus, as the first Affirmative Action presidential candidate, he has dredged up the resentment many Americans feel whenever bumped by someone who is clearly less qualified, yet selected purely because of his or her race. AA was always considered a good thing when booting a white male from a position they clearly deserved. Now that it's being used against the Left (and they don't even realize it), it's irking many.

No. Senator Obama associates with these individuals because he agrees with them more than he disagrees.

Yet, another casualty thrown under the Hussein Obama bus.

Dr. Martin Luther King,

"I dream of the day, when my four little children will live in a country, where they won't be judged by their skin color, but by the quality of their character."

Barack Hussein Obama, the DNC and the Democrat party as well as all in the media, have all made clear, that nobody, NOBODY has any right to judge Obama's character, and if anyone does, they are called a racist by all previously mentioned.

Any, questioning of anything about Obama, his beliefs, his policies, etc, is labeled racism.

Any person who is a Presidential candidate, should have their character thoroughly examined, regardless of their skin color, or gender.

Like Rush said on his radio show today, "I wonder what Dr. King would say about this."

Obama should look in the mirror, to see the one who needs to reform, before he accuses others of needing reformation.

I never thought I'd see the day, when Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats and the media would throw Dr. Martin Luther King under the Obama bus, but it has happened.

There is a very bad craziness loose in the world.

He who knows himself is enlightened;

Obama has about as short a memory as many in the American public.

Can a person who has spent near 20 or over 20 years around these thugs, racists, convicted terrorists, and slimeballs, and then says, "I never knew, or I'm shocked, or, I didn't know", be trusted as POTUS?

And McCain pointedly made the exact OPPOSITE comment, saying when he looked into Putin's eyes, all he saw was "K-G-B"?

/Meanwhile Obama has never met Putin.

I'm sure they'd get along great.

I'm saddened that there are so many idiots and fools willing to vote for the Obamessiah.

After Iran has bombed Israel and after Americans are waiting five-hours for five gallons of nationalized gas and five months for "access" to nationalized health care, President Obama will say he is "saddened," and "deeply dissappointed," "shocked," and that he "had no idea."

Most of us are parents and know how to ferret out the truth from our kids - and even I can tell that Obama is lying out his ears.

I don't believe for a moment that Pres. Bush believed that, but said it to be disarming against a very dangerous man - and evil man - Putin belongs in the axis of evil.

On the other hand, Truman did think that Stalin was an honest person. Stalin thought Truman was a fool.

The thread is acting glitchy for me.

When I hit new comments it spins indefinitely, but I can still post, but now the new comments is not highlighted so I can't click on it.

Why do people swallow this load of tripe?
He's lying, he's known these people for years. He agrees with them.
The old joke is:
How do you know when a politician is lying?
He opens his mouth!

Thats Barry to a T.

If the lefty loonies, the halfwits and the racists vote him in he can destroy America in 4 years esp. if he has the backing of congress and the house.
Just look at the damage he has done to race relations just in the primaries! At the very least he has put back relations by decades (Martin Luther King must be spinning in his grave - he was right to consider a person by their character rather than just the colour of their skin.) If Barry wins he will set about punishing *whitey* under the guise of robbing the big bad corporations to pay for *social* projects. He'll also raise taxes on you so you can pay for all the *victims* of your history, taking away from primarily white states to keep the welfare losers happy 'cos they voted for him.
(I don't know how the successful professional African-Americans are going to feel about being taxed till they squeak!). He will wreak havoc socially and economically, you think you've got problems now...
International relations would be worse. He really doesn't have a clue what he is doing and appears to have no-one who knows anything to advise him. Arrogance is a weakness and he is a very arrogant man. He thinks he will go and talk to your enemies and all of a sudden they are going to be friends. They will run rings around him. I'll bet Iran can't wait, they will have their nukes before he notices anything. I do not want to think how much damage he will do to the western world. He is a direct threat to your security - his sins may be ones of ommission rather than possibly commission but the effects could well be the same.

He has earned my contempt. I fear for you. Please vote McCaine, anything is better than Barry and he might well surprise you. I hope so.

He said so it is now a fact and the way it has always been?

I tend to think so, too.
Bush is under no illusions as to what Putin is.
Its called "diplomacy" and despite the rhetoric from the Left, Bush has actually been engaging in it for the last eight years.
