Obama: RNC fare for 'black-and-white TV'

By REID J. EPSTEIN | 9/1/12 2:52 PM EDT

URBANDALE, Iowa – President Obama didn’t watch the Republican convention, but that didn’t stop him from blasting Mitt Romney’s Tampa party as a throwback to bad times gone by.

“It was something to behold,” Obama said at a farm museum here. “Despite all the challenges that we face … what they offered over those three days was more often than not an agenda that was better suited for the last century. It was a re-run. We’ve seen it before. You might as well have watched it on a black-and-white TV.”

Obama, who spokesman Jay Carney on Friday said read about the convention in print media rather than watching it on TV, then offered his take.

“If you didn’t DVR it, let me recap it for you,” Obama said. “Everything’s bad. It’s Obama’s fault. And Gov. Romney is the only one who knows the secret to creating jobs and growing the economy. There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices but nobody ever bothered to tell you what they were.”

He continued: “And when Gov. Romney had a chance to let you in on his secret, he did not offer a single new idea. Just retreads of the same old policies that have been sticking it to the middle class for years.”

Huh? Obama thinks freedom, prosperity, rule of law, and equal opportunity are values from a by-gone era? Well, I guess that’s true if he is re-elected.

Funny this marxist would talk about re-runs when his policies are straight out of the 1940-era Soviet Union.

Let’s see, Obama didn’t watch the convention, but he knows all about what went on from reading news stories. And we all know how unbiased and accurate news outlets are.

In other words, Obama doesn’t know what went on at the convention.

“Despite all the challenges that we face … what they offered over those three days was more often than not an agenda that was better suited for the last century. It was a re-run. We’ve seen it before. You might as well have watched it on a black-and-white TV.”

And your "enlightened" and "progressive" policies hussein? How have they been doing? Record, historic (truly historic, not the way you and your cohorts in crime distort and use the word or unprecedented) debt. Record deficits. Record unemployment (42+ months above 8%, real rate - without artificially lowering - over 10%). Government takeovers of healthcare, banking, auto manufacture, student loans... (socialism run amok) Rampant (and false) charges of racism harking back to the worst days of the civil rights movement.

What do you do hussein? You and your minions run a campaign dripping with vicious personal attacks. You have nothing to run on, no record you want highlighted. You cannot attack your opponent on his ideas because they've been proven to work. You have nothing but smear and slander. Fear, division, and derision are your only viable tools. You are a failed President. Your campaign is showing you have no shame. You're a disgraced President and a disgusting human being.

But Barack Husswine Ubama has "new" ideas like "Hope and Change" Part II.

Read and comprehend sentence 1. Fix that in your mind. Read and comprehend sentence two. Discuss amongst yourselves.

I heard about that, apparently it was so embarrassing that MSNBC and CNN bailed halfway through the speech.

And meanwhile, Obama continues to exploit and exacerbate the racial divide in America for his own self-serving ends. He's right up there with Sharpton and Farrakhan.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
