I suppose the Ministry of Truth has sent this gaff into a "memory hole"....Obama has also started orating in "newspeak" and the unions are promoting their 10 minutes of hate. George Orwell had it absolutely correct in his book 1984.

You’d be surprised how many financial professional guests on Bloomberg radio promote this stimulus garbage. I almost can’t listen to it.

I honestly think the guy is just a lazy idiot.
___________________________
I think we can all safely assume you are correct, if we believe the “whitehouse insider”.

President Obama, when he is his de facto office upstairs – the one that is closer to Jarrett’s own office, and a short hop over to the residence, he spends his time there often in shorts, or sweats, a t-shirt, and those sandal things…flip-flops. There is a large screen television in there and that’s where hours of his time are spent when he is actually at the White House. Day in and day out. The First Lady rules the residence, and the president heads over to his 2nd floor West Wing study. Starting around last spring, he started to take regular briefings in there. And the instructions that went out on those briefings to the president were that they were to be most importantly – brief. Anything more than about 15 minutes is unacceptable to Obama.

So let’s look through the eyes of someone heading into Barack Obama’s upstairs office at the White House to give him a briefing. Maybe it’s on national security. Maybe the economy. Energy policy. Whatever – doesn’t matter. The scenario being played out these days is pretty much the same regardless of the particulars. You knock on the door – it’s always closed. Always. Often you have to knock for some time before being given approval from inside to enter. The big screen will be on – the volume loud. You can easily hear it from outside the door. The sports channels are the ones most commonly playing, though sometimes the channel will be set to music, or Fox News. Sometimes Valerie Jarrett might be there, but most often it is just the president and his personal aide. A large leather chair will be facing the television – it’s well worn. Not part of the White House furnishings but something the president must have brought in from back home. That’s where you’ll most often find the President of the United States – the most powerful man in the free f**ing world. He often sits with one leg draped over one of the chair’s arms and the other leg stuck straight onto the floor. Shorts, sweats, a t-shirt, and like I said, no shoes or just those sandal things that so many of the younger people like to wear these days. And that leg that’s draped over an arm of the chair will be bopping up and down, like…like someone with a lot of nervous energy. Like a kid does.

And there’s the smell of smoke hanging on the president. The guy never quite smoking – that was all bullsh*t. I told you that already. In fact, there’s one of those smokeless ash trays on the desk in there. And that desk, it’s a mess. Magazines spread out all over it. Stupid sh*t too. Real low brow reading material the president is into. People. Rolling Stone. Lots of those tabloid things. The most common thread with this sh*t is it’s about the president. If it’s about him, he’s gonna read it. Good or bad – doesn’t matter. If somebody is talking about him, he’s reading it. He’s watching it. Whatever. The guy’s self-obsession is off the f***ing charts.

So that’s what you first see when you enter the room – the upstairs office, of President Obama. Next you’re gonna notice how small the guy looks. Really thin. He pads his suits up you know. The top end. The shoulders. It became an actual issue during the 2008 campaign – some of his handlers were saying it made his neck look too small. Fact is, it made his neck look just like it is – small. The guy is scrawny. All knees and elbows sitting in that chair. Sometimes he gets up when you come in, sometimes he remains seated and will just turn the volume on the TV down with the remote and say, “What you got?”

That foot is bouncing up and down while you give him the briefing, but he rarely looks over at you – always looking at whatever is on the television. If it’s Jarrett in the room, or the personal assistant, one of them is there to keep the time. Your time. Don’t go over that ten minutes. And even if the president doesn’t look like he hears a word you’re saying, they are listening to everything. Every **da*n syllable coming out of your mouth, and if something is said they don’t like, they jot down notes. Been told it’s to use for the end of day summary they give the president – their own version of what is important and what can be ignored…and who might need to be pushed down, or pushed out…or whatever. So you’re looking at the president, this skinny guy, who’s ignoring you, who’s dressed like some kind of f***ing frat boy wannabe, with somebody else taking notes on what you’re saying, and then you get up and walk out.

The president might acknowledge you on some days, give a little not, maybe even a thank you, but most often he just continues to look at the TV, bounce that foot on the chair, his skin looking off-color, pale, the eyes out of focus, the hair a helleva lot more gray than is shown in public, the wrinkles around the mouth far deeper…and the hands. His fu***ng hands are so…they are just these thin little stick digits. They are like these long-fingered woman’s hands. And his wrists, you could wrap your own fingers all the way around those wrists – again, so much like a woman’s hands. Almost freakish. Certainly not the strong alpha-male type image that America was given during the 2008 campaign.

Is Palin saying she can see Russia from her backyard a bigger gaffe than this? A colloquial statement vs a factual error?
Palin got ripped as a “dummy” when we all know who the real dummy is.

Oh that propaganda is out in full force. Look at the caption on this photo. I almost blew a gasket when I saw it:

I just watched John Zieglar’s film Media Malpractice yesterday. For those who haven’t seen it, I encourage you to do so. It is streaming on NetFlix, fyi.

Are we still paying for PBS? Isn’t congress going to stop funding?

It'll take a Palin presidency and a Tea Party congress to accomplish that.

The msm has quoted Obama several times on his interest in Lincoln..how he’s reading Lincoln’s papers and Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Lincoln biography. So, I bet Obama considers himself a Lincoln expert and threw the “founded the Republican Party” in on the spur of the moment, perhaps as a snarky response to the Repubs chuckling at his absurdities. The PBS version imo was the speech on telepromptor without the “direction notes” like [expect applause here] or [raise fist and shout] before every “Pass the bill now!”, and without adlibs like his Lincoln error. Bottom line, not PBS’s fault.

He reads whatever is put in front of him, without comprehension.

Would PBS alter one of G Bush’s speech transcripts if he made an error?
Not in this life.

“When Bachmann misplaces the battles of Lexington & Concord, it’s a national scandal and evidence she’s a flake.

If Sarah Palin contradicts the fanciful poem “Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” after visiting the Paul Revere House on her bus tour, it’s a national scandal and evidence she’s a moron.

When Obama stands before a nationally televised joint session of Congress and wrong claims Lincoln founded the Republican Party? It’s swept under the rug in a media coverup.

This is not the activity of a free press.”

Well said, nj.

rr, you might try to get a copy of this post to Howie Carr. He has ceased to be a conservative or anything close on the matter of Bachmann and Palin and their so-caled gaffes. He is a stomach turning sexist liberal. And you may quote me.

Per the actual article at the link, the New York Times transcript had the reference in it. If what you say is correct, why?
