President Obama has learned something during his presidency: You can’t change Washington from the inside.
“The most important lesson I’ve learned is that you can’t change Washington from the inside,” he told a Univision forum Thursday. “You can only change it from the outside.”
The remark immediately set off the political media on Twitter.
“(This) is perhaps Obama’s worst gaffe since he met Joe the Plumber?” BuzzFeed editor Ben Smith asked on Twitter Thursday afternoon.
So the Poles are hopping mad that our idiot President misspoke when he referred to "Polish death camps". No, I don't think it's a big deal. It's just incompetent, arrogant Barry being incompetent, arrogant Barry. Any other time, I don't think the Poles would care. But Obama has screwed them in the past. Namely his embarrassing the Poles on the missile shield issue. This is payback. Deal with it Barry.
President Obama has a long track record of insulting the Poles. In 2010 he chose to play golf on the day of the funeral of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski, the Polish First Lady, and 94 senior officials who perished in the Smolensk air disaster. Eight months earlier he humiliated Warsaw by pulling out of the agreement over Third Site missile defence installations in Poland and the Czech Republic. And last night Barack Obama caused huge offence in Poland by referring to a Nazi death camp in Poland as “a Polish death camp” while awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a Polish resistance fighter.
When President Bush made the same mistake during his campaign for President in 2000, he was roundly criticized as unintelligent.
"We do have to make sure that there are computers in a computer age inside classrooms and that they work and that there's internets that are actually -- there are Internet connections that actually function. And I think that those states that are going to do well and those countries that do well are the ones that are going to continue to be committed to making education a priority."
The man is three years behind. Is there any wonder we're so screwed?
A message from US President Barack Obama and his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, apparently signed by the President with the wrong date of 2008 in the distinguished visitors’ book during a tour of Westminster Abbey, in central London, as part of his state visit to the United Kingdom, Tuesday May 24, 2011.
I know Velveeta. I said the same thing when I saw it.
Welcome to our world Ireland. He high-centered America as well.
US President Barack Obama's heavily armoured Cadillac, nicknamed "The Beast", became stuck on a ramp at the US embassy in Dublin, RTE state radio reported Monday.
The first cars in the presidential motorcade emerged up the ramp from the car park beneath the complex in Ballsbridge and passed through the gates without incident, but The Beast quickly ran into trouble and got beached.
"The Beast was coming along and suddenly there was a loud kind of bang, metal-on-metal, grinding, crunching noise and the car was stuck," an RTE reporter said.
RTE said Obama and his wife Michelle stayed in the car while security officials and police officers went running over to the stranded vehicle.
I had no idea what epantsipation was. I admit that. But I did look it up on the innerwebz.
Epantsipation: n. e•pants•i•pa’tion. 1. To free from pants, dungarees, trousers; to pull down someone’s pants against his will. “Let’s epantsipate Joe Biden in the cabinet meeting again this afternoon.”
Here's Obama at the State dinner preparing to make a toast...with a napkin stuck to his glass. If he weren't so busy thinking about himself, he would have noticed that napkin.
I shouldn't even call this a gaffe. The man has no respect for this country. He is a foreigner. He has no experience with the American experience. Here is Obama failing to salute. Refusing to salute? Commander in Chief my ass!
President Obama today at MIT. His teleprompter took the day off. What was left was a talking suit with no core principles. This is what happens to people who lack core principles. They need teleprompters and stare blankly like cows in a passing train when they lose that teleprompter.
President Obama yesterday rolled out the red carpet -- and handed out doctors' white coats as well, just so nobody missed his hard-sell health-care message.
In a heavy-handed attempt at reviving support for health-care reform, the White Houseorchestrated a massive photo op to buttress its claim that front-line physicians support Obama.
A sea of 150 white-coated doctors, all enthusiastically supportive of the president and representing all 50 states, looked as if they were at a costume party as they posed in the Rose Garden before hearing Obama's pitch for the Democratic overhaul bills moving through Congress.
The physicians, all invited guests, were told to bring their white lab coats to make sure that TV cameras captured the image.
But some docs apparently forgot, failing to meet the White House dress code by showing up in business suits or dresses.
So the White House rustled up white coats for them and handed them to the suited physicians who had taken seats in the sun-splashed lawn area.
All this to provide a visual counter to complaints from other doctors that pending legislation is bad news for the medical profession.
Audacity! Can this guy be a more classless douchebag?
ABC News' Kirit Radia and Matt Jaffe report: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner today wrapped up two days of senior dialogue with Chinese officials – the broadest such discussions in the history of Sino-American relations – by praising the progress they had made on matters as broad as security, economics, energy, and climate change.
Though the main goal this week was simply to launch the dialogue, it would appear that no concrete agreements were reached on any of the myriad topics on the table.
In fact, China’s most tangible take away from the meetings may be the signed basketball they received from President Obama, which one Chinese official raised above his head during the policy-makers’ closing remarks.
Well, when all you do is lie, this kinda stuff is going to happen to you.
“I don’t know if anybody else will meet their future wife or husband in class like I did, but I’m sure that you’re all going to have wonderful careers,” he said as he warmed up the audience before delivering a commencement speech at an economics school in Moscow Tuesday.
But the truth is that the couple met not “in class” but at a law firm in Chicago, Sidley Austin, in 1989. Obama was a summer associate (essentially a legal intern) there and Robinson was an attorney completing her first year at the firm. Both attended Harvard Law School, but Michelle graduated in the spring of 1988, while Barack Obama did not arrive at the Cambridge, Mass., campus until that fall.
And here's how the liberal media is covering for his idiocy.
From the above article:
It was unclear what prompted Obama’s confusion or lapse of memory, though he does have the excuse of jet lag. It was about 4 a.m. in Washington as he spoke.
Okay. Isn't that like the tenth time the media has used the jet lag excuse? A word of caution. If a President can't function on short sleep, he's going to be very dangerous.
The thing is: Obama didn’t technically meet his wife at school. Although both are Harvard Law School grads, Michelle Obama got her degree in the spring of 1988 while her future husband didn’t actually start school there until later that fall. (He graduated in 1991). The Obamas officially met in Chicago in 1989, when the future president was a summer associate at the Sidley Austin law firm and Michelle was assigned as his mentor. Was what Obama said wrong? Technically no, considering Obama was still going to school when he met his wife.
Technically no? What? Technically you can't be more wrong. You either meet in class, or you meet on the job. There's no technicality to it. I'm calling shenanigans.
Here's video of the idiot.
UPDATE: Here's some gems from those who commented on this story at Free Republic:
"TOTUS met her in class. Barry came along later."
"Well, that whopper’s gonna cost him another big honkin’ cocktail ring, and maye some genuine pearls, too."
"Is there a Marriage Certificate we don’t know about?"
“I am the King of Zamunda! When I tell the truth it is a lie and when I tell a lie it is a lie!”
The president responded, "I have been playing golf lately, and I don't like my golf swing."
Laughing, the president continued, "you probably don't have that much golf weather in Russia, but it's a game that I keep on thinking I should be good at, and somehow the ball goes this way and that way and never goes straight."
The man does have an ego. This is all he can come up with? Granted, he does swing the golf club like a retard on peyote...
