Obama raises, knocks down Palin quote

President Barack Obama borrowed a phrase from one of his harshest opponents last night, telling supporters at a New York fundraiser that “all that hopey changey stuff” from the 2008 campaign “was real.”

The “hopey changey” term comes from a certain former Alaska governor and 2008-vintage Obama opponent. At a tea party convention in Nasvhille last year, Sarah Palin said she wanted to ask Obama’s supporters: “How’s that hopey changey thing working out for ya?”

Obama’s belated response went like this, according to last night’s pool report from the Gotham Theater:

“All that hopey changey stuff, as they say? That was real. It wasn’t something ...it was real, you could feel it. You know it. It’s still there. Even in the midst of this hardship. But it’s hard. When I was in Grant Park that night, I warned everybody this was going to be hard, this wasn’t the end it was the beginning.”

Now remember: One of these individuals is a private citizen, a housewife sitting in her living room with her laptop, the other is the current de facto PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! Did LBJ, Nixon, Dubya, JFK, Truman, Reagan or Ike direct their comments, time-after-time, to private citizens who criticized their policies? Buehler? Buehler?

Obama; “I warned everybody this was going to be hard, this wasn’t the end it was the beginning.”

No - it was the beginning of the end!!!!

Irrelevant PING!

I cannot think of any other “private citizen”, who by simply saying “Yes” would become the leading contender for the Republican Party nomination.

Obama is clearly delusional.

“...this wasn’t the end it was the beginning...”

Come noon eastern on January 20, 2013, it will be the end of an error and the beginning of this nation’s awakening from its self-imposed four year nightmare.

Other than Fred Karger, you mean? LOL

The De Jure president is just parroting the phrase of the Madam De Facto President.

Like the Putz he is.

OODLA?

Sarah Palin. Rent-free. Obama’s head.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

There he goes again, trying to put lipstick on his pig.

I noticed he never really answered the question. Precisely because it's not working out at all. It was real? You could feel it?

I've been drunk before. That was real.....and temporary. I also remember the massive hangover and the fact I cannot stand the smell of tequila anymore. That's also real.....and permanent.

[MEGoody]

All that hopey changey stuff. . .It’s still there.

Yes, and it's still killing America. Fortunately, ZerO, based on your recent poll numbers, Americans are finally waking up to what you really are.

[Free Vulcan]

Delusion driven by ego, that typical strongman attitude you see in the Turd World countries. He’s a President-for-life wannabe.

"When I was in Grant Park that night, I warned everybody this was going to be hard, this wasn’t the end it was the beginning.”

So Obama is admitting that he created this hardship in order to "fundamentally change" the US? And it's NOT Bushs fault? Imagine that!!!

[Michael.SF.]

LOL.

I think Fred's problem is he says yes too often to too many things.

[trisham]

What a pathetic moron.

[marstegreg]

it was real, you could feel it.

That’s the problem, we ALL understand it was actually a lie. Trying to convince everyone otherwise makes him look foolish.

“all that hopey changey stuff” from the 2008 campaign “was real.”
And to think when I was a kid being made fun of for beleiving pro wrestling "was real".

[nolongerademocrat]

We need to make sure he is laughed at during every speech.
