Obama's Stumbling and Bumbling Phone Call to the New York Times
Rush 24/7 ^ | 3/10/09 | Rush 24/7

Posted on 03/10/2009 4:24:44 PM PDT by NoGrayZone

And for some reason, when the plane landed, Obama, or somebody, said, "You know, I think you're a little flippant on that socialist stuff." Obama thus thought it necessary to call the New York Times back and go for take two -- which they granted him the opportunity to do, of course. Go for take two on what he thinks about socialism. I have that. It is about two minutes and 11 seconds. Now, we normally have a sound bite policy here of not playing a sound bite any longer than a minute, but in this case, I want to play the whole sound bite, as found on the New York Times website. Because what I want you to notice here, is listen to the stuttering, bumbling mannerism as he talks his way through this phone call -- this backup, follow-up phone call to the New York Times. There is no teleprompter here. It is cringe inducing. And then to claim that Bush is the real socialist while he, Obama, is the free marketeer. So here it is, Barack Obama unplugged, including the prompter unplugged.

OBAMA: See, uhhh, I -- I -- eh -- Just one thing that, uhh, I was thinking about as I was, uhh, -- as I was -- getting off the, uhhh, copter 'cause, I -- uhhh -- you know, it was hard for me to believe you were entirely serious about that socialist question.

AS I HAVE POSTED BEFORE:
he said it wasn’t he who started the federal government’s intervention into the nation’s financial system.

WELL HE WAS ONE OF THE SENATORS WHO VOTED YES FOR IT.
http://www.votesmart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?cs_id=20737&can_id=9490

“President Obama voted YES
Read statements President Obama made in this general time period.
Project Vote Smart’s Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that allows the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase troubled assets from financial institutions, with a total outstanding balance of up to $700 billion, and also provides tax incentives for alternative energies and contains income tax and alternative minimum tax provisions.”

IT WOULD OF BEEN BETTER IF HE VOTED HIS TYPICAL PRESENT VOTE. Seems to me by his VOTE he owns this “federal government’s intervention into the nation’s financial system. “

I wonder what would unnerve him more, calling him a socialist or talking about his ears?

So true. Now she is just the “little woman” behind the little boy wearing a big man's suit.

How shameful, for such a feminazi.

This stumbling-bumbling teleprompter dependence really calls into question Obama's Magna Cum Laude (Top 10%) honor from Harvard Law School. Remember the movie "The Paper Chase"? Students were grilled mercilessly, and required to explain complicated legal theorems, cases, etc. Can we see Obama doing that at the Top 10% of his class, nay, at any percent of the class, at Harvard Law School? If he did back then, it must be that the drugs since than have had a terrible effect.

I suspect his grades were not that good and that this is why he hides them.

Sounds like Obama has a pretty thin skin. He can dish it out, but he can’t take it.

It's in the Democrat Party rulebook.

I heard he followed the call with a note to the reporters

“Do you like me? Check one”:

Yes

No

In all seriousness, it's "Renegade." I think the USSS knew him well from the start.

The Magna Cum Laude is given supposedly to those whose grades are in the Top 10% of the class. Neither prior to nor after Harvard Law School has Obama done anything reflective of the super intellect and supreme effort required to graduate in the Top 10% at HLS.

I think that Obama's Magna was honorific, given to match his AA appointment to the Harvard Law Review, and his political election to the Presidency of the HLR.

Thanks—I didn’t know that.

I would have picked “Trojan Horse”, but I don’t know if they use two-word code names...

P.S. What’s Michelle’s?—My vote’s for “Secretariat”-but that’s just my opinion....

He was also proud of his jet when he took off the US flag and replaced it with his emblem.

LOL! Either that or "Aunt Esther" (from "Sanford and Son."). Her's is "Renaissance."
