"And so that was just a example of a new Senator, you know, making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country. And I’m the first one to acknowledge it."

Jesus, if they dont rip him to shreds for that quote alone.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Whew!

It was political.

That's a relief.

[Carling]

Is Georgie’s arm sore from lobbing those softballs to Barry?

[sappy]

surprised he didn’t vote present on that one too...

"And so that was just a example of a new Senator, you know, making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country. And I’m the first one to acknowledge it."

So right out of the gate this guy was corrupted by the process rather than the usual other way around...rather than being an altruistic, bright-eyed congressman/senator who is going to fix the country and then being corrupted by the system; he was already corrupt and just got worse.

This guy is such a drag on our country.

[sunmars]

i know, Georgie boy thinks he’s some great journo, he’s not and Obama, such a rookie.

[balls]

They won’t touch him for that comment. That’s way if it comes up later, he will say that’s old news, let’s look forward.

[sunmars]

BINGO.

[Carling]

He admits that it took him to be President to take things seriously. Being a Senator must not matter much, since he says he was basically just screwing around.

Georgie had a wide open door to follow up with Obomba on that “it was political” comment, and he did not, at least according to what is posted at the link.

[KansasGirl]

The media is going to glorify him for making that statement. It is sickening.

[sappy]

“When did you realize that vote was a mistake?”

I hope everyone who voted for him is doing just this every time they look at this buffoon.

You know this guy is damaged goods for the '12 run if this is all he has to say on this blatant flip flop. Obummer is going to get this rammed down his throat as they fight over this. It reminds me of another Rat geniuses quote.

"I voted for it before I voted against it."

[sunmars]

yup, he’s trying to innoculate himself from attack, lets just keep reminding him though he’s a total moron.

[Polybius]

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." ..... Barack Obama, U.S. Senate Floor Speech, March 20, 2006

“Jesus, if they dont rip him to shreds for that quote alone.”

The affirmative action hire in the White Hut gets a pass on everything.

He ran for President when he was still a new Senator. So, applying simple logic, Obama, by his own admission, was too inexperienced to be President. No one, even most Republicans, will connect the dots for the imbeciles in the electorate.

[Terry Mross]

Who’s going to ram it down his throat? Romney? Huckabee? Whoever runs against him will be no better than mccain.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Wow, did Georgie wipe off his chin when he got up off of his knees?

[Mouton]

Everything this POS does is for his political benefit. His ego will not allow himself to let the country come first, never ever.
