"The one thing that I want to insist on is that, as I travel around the country, the American people are a decent people. Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound." - Barack Obama, speaking at a Planned Parenthood rally

[DesScorp]

Another stunning Freudian slip by The One. First we clung to our God and our Guns. Now we're basically decent, except when we listen to the "wrong" radio stations, and watch the "wrong" TV networks... which I'm sure his messiahship would like to fix with the Unfairness Doctrine.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Which network? ABC? CBS? NBC?

[TheWasteLand]

This guy is such a pompous narcissist, I’m surprised he can look away from the mirror. What other candidate could get away with this garbage? What other candidate would even say it?

[uptoolate]

basically decent, except when we listen to the "wrong" radio stations, and watch the "wrong" TV networks

Wow. He is soooooo articulate..............and clean.

[informavoracious]

Further proof that his method for achieving unity would be to silence views that dissent from his own - his are the “correct” views, others’ views are “wrong.” What happened to freedom of speech? Or freedom of thought? This man is truly frightening. But I support his right to make idiotic comments that insult average Americans and ensure they will never vote for him to be President.

All of this while speaking at a Planned Parenthood rally!

[cherry]

what an arrogant POS....’scuse my language....

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Even though I think Kerry was and is a flaming tool, at least he had some political savvy. Obama has none and can't even buy it.

[maine-iac7]

What a smug, pompous as* - dare I say, elitist?

WE don't eat a hellava lot of arugula either.

[rightinthemiddle]

Clinton. Gore. Kerry. Obama.

Who has the largest ego?

[Godwin1]

Here he is, speaking to the organization that runs the nation's largest chain of for-profit abortion mills, and he has the NERVE to raise the subject of other people's decency. Speaking of decency, he finds the question of when human life begins “above his pay grade”. Faced with this uncertainty, he endorses the ethic of “kill at will”, through all nine months of gestation. And, under a Obama government, the killings can be done with federal tax money. Planned Parenthood is the very essence of a “special interest”, trading financial and political support now for the promise of tax dollars later. This guy makes me sick.

This is a perfect example of why I’m so unimpressed with the Zombie Party. All they can do is parrot the same, tired, crap constantly and AREN’T “nuanced” at all. Who can parrot the Marxist line and has the best smile? Who’s got the best gimmick? Øbama, perfect! he’s clean, articulate, has a nice smile, nice speaking voice..... He’s a freaking parrot and I could crush him in a debate and make him look like an idiot, as could most anyone here. Candidates have to play footsie, put him at a dinner table and have him try and defend his ridiculous positions on just about everything and he would be toast.

Look at the spoiled, out of touch clowns they have run the past 3 elections. This guy takes the cake, this is Twilight Zone material that this guy is one of the 2 major candidates for President. Who are they going to run in 2012? Kucinich?

[shibumi]

Dictator-in-Waiting ping.

(I’m going back to doing something that I’m sure would be banned under his administration ..... “the memory remains.”)

[Schnucki]

Has anybody pointed out that obama often comes off as something of a stand-up comic without the jokes?

[IL1949]

What a flaming, self-righteous, ass clown.

The magic negro is on course for a major crash & burn.

And it is soooo well deserved.

[Chaguito]

The rest of the clip after this elitist bit of crap is just as condescending, as the One paints Planned Parenthood as the enlightened ones that the “basically decent” plebes should aspire to.

"You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound." - Barack

anyone else pick up on the 'they' here?

anyone running for POTUS should realize that he is supposed to be part of the country...

the quote should have been:

"um, but we’re, we’re basically decent, we’re basically sound."

[ezo4]

“basically decent, except when we listen to the “wrong” radio stations, and watch the “wrong” TV networks”

sorry I dont watch tv, dont want to be brain washed into the useful idiots - and i choose my own radio and internet news

[KoRn]

Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks"

So which radio shows and TV networks are the "right" radio shows TV networks Mr. Obama?

[presently no screen name]

Yes - HUSSEIN's telling them his 'dictorship' dreams between the lines.

Strange how he says Americans are decent - yet, he wants LESS of them. Kill them before they are born.
