bump for tomorrow.
So, how many peas can you buy with $2.4T?
A symptom of stupidity is the inability to recognize it in one’s self. This is what I find so disturbing about zero. He literally does not, in fact, can not conceive that most of us are smarter than him. When he says stupid things like the above, I cringe at the thought that someone of his caliber holds the highest office in the land.
The sign in the White House window reads:
“PRESIDENT NEEDED....APPLY WITHIN.”
Projection. HE probably never heard the term until very recently.
Honestly...I didn’t read the arcticle. I tried to listen to the POTUS.
This man does two things in every speach. Talks down to the audience, and expects the audience to believe what he says.
I thought the same thing when I heard O say that. How Fricken condescending! I was insulted and I’m sure I had a lot of company. This article proves it. What a bastard. His entire speech was to make good on his tantrum of “I’ll take it to the people.” What he is too stupid to know is that the “people” have already been paying more attention than him! Idiot. His threats and scare tactics are backfireing on him.
“Now, what makes today’s stalemate so dangerous is that it has been tied to something known as the debt ceiling – a term that most people outside of Washington have probably never heard of before.”
FUBO, you arrogant, condescending a-hole!!!!!!
In the rarified air he believes he occupies, mere mortals who invent things, manufacture things, operate complicated machinery and gadgets, manage small and large businesses, build churches, hospitals, and, in general keep the American dream alive despite his heavy-handed and Machiavellian policies--these outstanding people just simply cannot understand anything like a "debt ceiling."
These just live and operate with one every day of their lives.
Such condescension comes from a place most Americans don't have time to fool with as they study their nation's founding ideas of liberty and realize, too late perhaps, that the emperor they chose not only has no clothes, but may be minus any clue as to why a "debt ceiling" for a nation that expects to be free is necessary at all.
This is beautiful. Obama is so on his way out of office that I sometimes wonder if he isn’t done with the job anyway
and really doesn’t care if he is re-elected. To me, Obama doesn’t even buy what he is selling. He seems to be going through the motions with the predictable sound-bite insults and the usual “big me, little you”, know-it-all presentation that reminds me of Hillary actually. Who in Sam Hill would buy that waste of breath. Independents? I just don’t think so.
This all must be very annoying to the anointed one when can I go on vacation? When this is all over Obama intends to get on with his profligate spending.
when are people going to find a pair and tell this a**hat to shove it... we aren’t falling for his b.s. anymore.
i, for one, won’t push 50-65% of my labor into the hands of government types... just so they can give 66% of it to the politically favored and union pensions
just ... won’t ... do it
Obama syndrome: extreme self-adoration coupled with arrogance and a pathological need to blame others for your faults and shortcomings. A desperate need to be seen and heard (even when you have nothing intelligent to say). Pathological lying and exageration, posturing and posing. Inability to listen and take advice (see self-adoration).
I cannot stand this man, not because he’s black or half black, but because he’s a corrupt liar and the very worst president this country has ever had. I couldn’t listen to him, I can’t stand it.
Certainly the dumbasses who voted for Obama (but that's still not most of the people.)
He’s only repeating, and in the same manner, what he’s been told about these complex things that take away his time from golf, and parties, and date nights, vacations, and flying around in the biggest corporate jet...
There are Freepers here who make me look like an idiot, as well as engineers, lawyers, and business people I've worked with for years. No joke. People who can read full pages of law in a couple seconds, engineer complex problems off the top of their head in a phone call, and whose math I can't even begin to grasp. Heck, I can't even understand the symbol set, and I have taken graduate level match classes. Keeps me humble. Very humble.
And don't even let me get started about the theologians I know besides to say one's sermons are based on his translations of the original Greek and Aramaic. He speaks and reads 5 other languages, too.
Then there's the depth of historical knowledge here at Free Republic. I know the basics. Freepers KNOW this stuff!
All that said, I would literally bet my life that I'm smarter than obastard. By a LOT.
obastard, you're not even in the same universe as these people, you arrogant narcissistic piece of cr@p!
Yeah but remember his background.
Community organizer in the southside Chicago housing projects.
Walk through those projects and ask people what they think about the “debt ceiling.” “Say whaaa??”
This is how Obama and Alinsky and Hillary and all the progressives view the American people as a whole - a bunch of dysfunctional dumbasses who need the government to take their of their every need.
What Kristol is noticing is how the intellectual “vanguard” addresses the “lumpenproletariat” American citizenry.
Obama has known that he is not going to get re-elected for some time now.
It doesn’t matter to him.
What DOES matter to him is staying in office until his “lame duck” phase of his presidency arrives.
If you thought that the Clintons scorched some earth on their exit from the white house....
YOU AINT SEEN NOTHIN YET!
