Obama says he ignored Beck rally

He seemed intent on casting himself as above the political fray, saying he had more important work to do than to engage in the back and forth of the political “silly season.”

For example, Obama said he did not watch any of Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally Saturday on the National Mall.

“It’s not surprising that somebody like a Mr. Beck is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. That's been true throughout our history,” he said. But “I’m making decisions that are not necessarily good for the nightly news and not good for the next election, but for the next generations.”

“I’m making decisions that are not necessarily good for the nightly news and not good for the next election, but for the next generations.”

Fixed it.

Ignored my @$$...

Marine 1, flew over the event, their is a photo of it on a thread here, not in it's entirety, but it can't be any other ship.

Obama flew over 9/12 as well.

He knows..

My guess is they are keeping closer tabs on it than they will admit.

To claim he is stirring things up when talking about faith, is really over the top, because that is what a community organizer does, stir things up. Is this the prism of which he views the world? The ability to stir things up instead of getting things done?

I have a feeling someday Glenn will let us know all that has and is going on in the background.

My guess is this administration is behaving like thugs as to what they are throwing at Glenn. He stands in the fire and takes it, and it has not consumed him.

“I’m making decisions that are not necessarily good for the nightly news and not good for the next election, but for the next generations.”

He doesn't specify the next generations of whom. It certainly isn't the next generations of Americans.

[driftdiver]

Pretty stupid, any politician would certainly take notice. Unless of course he just doesn’t care.

It's good to be king: You need not listen to the mere people.

[6SJ7]

You want silly. I'll show you silly. This is silly...

[meangene]

Hard to pay attention when you’re looking for your ball in the woods all day...!

[who knows what evil?]

...not good for the next election...

Wow...got to get a bigger bus; he just threw the entire Democrat Congress under that sucker...

“I’m making decisions that are not necessarily good for the nightly news and not good for the next election, but for the next generations.”

I wonder if the President could take the time to explain how spending our grandchildrens money is "good"?

[taildragger]

Good Lord, even as metro, upscale, and left as it is, no real man in Highland Park IL, would be caught riding that thing. Most are very light weight racers and they guys are in shape enough to pull it off....

Obama says he Ignored Beck rally

..... that is, until he uttered these words.

Fail.

[reg45]

In thirty months, we will all be able to ignore 0bama.

[EverOnward]

The leftists are crapping in their pants and pretending it smells like rose buds. They are bullies who are no longer able to intimidate the populace with their name-calling, mocking and lies.

[Lando Lincoln]

Classic denial by a classic narcissist.

It makes sense if Obama's purpose is to break American power, and thus open opportunities to islamify the world.

Aw, we must get our facts straight. It wasn’t just a bicycle - it was a girl’s bicycle.

[ICCtheWay]

Yeah - I’m working to make Osama Obama a shepherd all right... I’m working to make the Exalted Won someone who actually tends sheep way out in the field - as it would be the only job the jackass could get...

[Catsrus]

No,he spends all his time lecturing us or taking vacations. With the latter being the most important on his agenda.

[chilltherats]

zero didn’t ignore Beck or the rally. You can tell that by his nasty answer. And he knows that for every one who showed up, there are probably at least 100 who couldn’t make it but completely agree with the purpose of and ideas presented at the rally.

[Arcy]

NO WAY Obama could have ignored the rally. It's all that the leftwing nutballs have been talking about all weekend!! When 500,000 Americans gather together in Washington D.C., it's IMPOSSIBLE to ignore!
