Fox News chief Roger Ailes says President Barack Obama is “lazy’’ and claims the commander-in-chief “never worked a day in his life,’’ a controversial new book claims.
Ailes also takes shots at Vice President Joe Biden, saying, “he’s as dumb as an ashtray,” and at Newt Gingrich, who he says is a “sore loser.”
In his upcoming biography, “Roger Ailes: Off Camera,’’ author Zev Chafets writes that Ailes reacted to a crack by Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen that Ann Romney, wife of last year’s Republican presidential candidate, “never worked a day in her life,” with his own blunt opinion of the president.

“Obama’s the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn’t public money,’’ Ailes said, according to Chafets.
“How many fundraisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time. … He’s lazy, but the media won’t report that.”
Ailes insists, however, that he didn’t come up with Obama’s “lazy’’ tag — but rather the president did himself during a 2011 interview with Barbara Walters in which he described his most deplorable trait as “deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there’s a laziness in me.’’
“I have a soft spot for Joe Biden. I like him. But he’s dumb as an ashtray,’’ Ailes says, according to the book, which is published by Penguin Sentinel and excerpted on VanityFair.com.
Chafets’ biography shows there’s no love lost between Ailes and Obama and details a testy sit-down between the two during the 2008 presidential campaign in which the future commander-in-chief lit into Sean Hannity.

Colon Bowell said that it is racist to call 0bama lazy. He said that the word “lazy” is followed by the word “shiftless”.
I am sure that Colon Bowell is hurt by Ailes remarks. That’s a shame. /s
Funny, I don't recall him claiming that when people were writing and saying that about G W Bush.
“Dumb as an ashtray.” Perfect!
Kim Jung Un had NO military experience whatsoever before Daddy made him a four-star general. This snot-nosed twerp had never accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to military leadership. He hadn't even so much as led a Cub Scout troop, coached a sports team, or commanded a military platoon. So he is made the "Beloved Leader" Of North Korea . Terrific!
- Oh WAIT. . .crap!
Sorry, just remembered that we did the same thing. We took an arrogant bas***d community organizer, who had never worn a uniform, and made him Commander-in-Chief. A guy, who had never had a real job, worked on a budget, or led anything more than an ACORN demonstration, and we made him "Beloved Leader" of the United States TWICE !!! I'm sorry I brought this up. Never mind.
It’s “culturist”.
Obama’s culture has a “value” that “work is for chumps”.
At least an ashtray is useful. As well as doorknobs and bags of hammers.
Sadly there are a number of posters here who willingly allowed the reelection of the Marxist Muslim.
How do you do an article search on this forum?
Dat man lazy, shiftless, worthless, no account, good for nuttin. That better?
Most blacks I know of here in L.A are on EBT. In hindsight, there’s a reason why they call Odumbo the food stamp president.
There's a search window at the upper right corner of the forum page.
I just typed in the word "Ailes" and chose "Titles" from the drop-list widget.
It's no big deal. It was a good story yesterday too, with some comments, that's all.
Community organizers aren’t supposed to work. They’re supposed to get workers riled up and in a revolutionary spirit.
It’s all about having the right connections to get government money and important-sounding jobs that don’t require any work, and being part of the right groups, and in the right church.
It’s about gaining “cred” with your target group. Making them think you are one of them, without actually being one of them. It’s about using people to gain your own private objectives. They don’t have to know what those objectives are. In fact, most of them would be angry with you if they knew what you were really up to.
You don’t work, but you figure out how to make others work for you.
Oh, I forgot to mention that it doesn't always work. Don't worry about it.
Would Ailes like Newt better if he weren’t a “sore loser” and was resigned to losing like the GOP elites? We need people that expect to win and aren’t satisfied with losing.
