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.”

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

Rush has always said “listen to the libs they will tell you who they fear.” She lives rent free in her enemies head without really trying. “Pity The Poor Fool” as Mr T would say when she announces.

Run Sarah, run!

Didn’t look like he knocked down anything...

I don’t think that’ll have to be coordinated by anyone from this point forward.

[DJ MacWoW]

Sarah, more Presidential than Obama

Hopey Changy

Gas was less than half this when Bush left office.

[Friendofgeorge]

I was sure that the phrases... “How’s that hopey changey thing working out for ya?”, drill baby drill, death panels,crony capitalism ect, were all coined by Michele Bachmann??

[Wildbill22]

Well Obama is right in that it will be difficult, but he is wrong in implying that it will ever get better. Obamanamics in the Obamanation isn’t pretty, but the end goal is equality (in misery) for everyone!

His thin skin is showing, beginning to show that he cannot take any form of criticism on statements that have spewed from his mouth.

[kevkrom]

What I want to know is, does “change” map directly to “tax” and “hope” to “spend”, or is the formula more complex?

Because “hope and change” is nothing but “tax and spend” all over again, on steroids.

[ken21]

the most “intelligent” president sure turned out to be a dud.

You're not supposed to judge him by his results, just his intentions.

[Vaquero]

anything from the Politico needs the appropriate

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

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.

Good comparison!

[layman]

you travel around the country and talk to the American people, that spirit’s still there

Not where I live, asshat.

[MrB]

A bit of refinement - we’re supposed to judge him by his STATED intentions.
His real “intentions” are not as he states.
He “hopes” to “change” America from a capitalist to a communist society.

Oops, sorry. Didn't get the memo.

Thanks.

[MestaMachine]

Lord help me, he is on my TV AGAIN! January 2013 can’t get here fast enough!!

[allmendream]

Hopefully the voters react to 0bama in the voting booth like a bunch of ex-drunks greeted with the smell of stale Tequila.

Sad thing is The Weather Channel at least used to be a safe, Obie free viewing option.

NOT ANY MORE.
