Obama Flashback 2008: I Ran a Big Campaign So I Can Handle a Gulf Disaster

No wonder he’s talking about kicking butts, he wants to deflect attention away from his own impotence. And he probably doesn’t want anyone reminding him of this boneheaded statement from 2008. Thanks to Byron York for bringing it to our attention.

On September 1, 2008, Barack Obama, fresh from his Roman-colonnade speech on the final night of the Democratic convention in Denver, talked to CNN’s Anderson Cooper about Gustav and the Gulf. The question: As president, could he handle an emergency like that? Obama pointed to the size of his campaign and its multi-million dollar budget as evidence of his executive abilities. “Our ability to manage large systems and to execute, I think, has been made clear over the last couple of years,” Obama said. That executive ability, he added, “indicates the degree to which we can provide the kinds of support and good service that the American people expect.”

He went on to slam Sarah Palin’s experience as Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. He forgot to mention her experience as Governor of the State of Alaska. She did what many hard working Americans do – worked her way up. What a foreign concept to socialists like Obama.

I’m wondering why he didn’t summon his inner community organizer and rally the community of Washington bureaucrats to get out of the way of Gulf states in their efforts at containing the mess.

Oh, and he hates whales. Where’s Ashley Judd when we need her?

Hey Obama it’s Gulf not Golf!

This is a massive failure on the part of the federal government as a whole and of Obama as a President.

The federal response under Obama has been pathetic. For all of the billions of dollars that the federal government collects from the oil industry and for all of the demands that they put on it in the name of ‘safety’ it is absurd to argue that they are doing a good job.

You can not be the entity that profits most as the government does through taxation and the entity with the most power as the government is through massive regulation and then still claim that you are the solution. Especially when your response is so pathetic and everyday you are ignoring the issue while partying with sports and musical royalty.

This is a massive failure by Obama.

Thank God 9/11 happened when GW was Pres vs. when The Messiah rules! Competence was in season during GW’s reign, now, well, now we have two half wits trying to comprise one entire Executive branch and it’s not working.

Can you imagine if there’s a nuclear, biological or chemical attack between now and January 2013?

WHAT IS MISSING IN THIS PRESS CONFERENCE?



That's right ... NO AMERICAN FLAG!!!









Pattern?

Obama has from the beginning, showed his outrage against the American Flag, it's Constitution and it's Christian background. He is proud of his Muslim Heritage, his Communist upbringing and his Marxist views.

Get this Anti-Christ out of office and stop his agenda of destroying America!

If, he loves Communism so much, send him back to Kenya, from where he came and tell him to run that Government!!!

“Our ability to manage large systems and to execute, I think, has been made clear over the last couple of years,”

Pseudo-smarty statements like that made the intellectual numb-skulls and easily impressed swoon.

So you're a huckster, Obama, a pretender, and you used a ghostwriter. What you seem, has been now made evident by your actions, to who you really are, a manipulator.

Someone, please, give this green card recipient and marriage for citizenship trader, the hook.
