Flashback: What Obama Said About Taking Vacations in 2008 Video is a Real Howler
JS Review ^ | 8/11/14 | editor

Taped interviews have a way of coming back to haunt politicians. And the timing couldn’t be better for this gem, brought to us by Weasel Zippers, who dug up this pre-election interview with then-Senator Barack Obama in 2008.

The senator had high expectations for himself, if he were to receive Americans’ vote for President.

You have to understand that if you seek that office, then you have to be prepared to give your life to it. Essentially, the bargain that I think every President strikes with the American people is, ‘you give me this office, then in turn my fears, doubts, insecurities, foibles, need for sleep, family life, vacations, leisure, is gone. I am giving myself to you.’

Why relive this clown’s past?

If we do, we automatically have to relive our own foolishness for installing him.

As Tonto might say to the Lone Ranger when surrounded by fellow indians: what do you mean “our”, white man?

After nearly 6 years of observing B. Hussein’s ACTIONS, which choice (IYHO), as listed below, best describes Obama?

A.) “Psychopatic personality,

1.) a person characterized by:
* emotional instability,
* lack of sound judgement,
* perverse and impulsive (often criminal) behavior,
* inability to learn from experience,
* amoral and asocial feelings,
* and other serious personality defects:
* he may or may not have psychotic attacks or symptoms.”

B.) “Asocial,

implies:
* complete indifference to the interests, welfare, etc. of society,
* and connotes abnormal or irresponsible self-centeredness - - -.”

Note: Quotes are from Webster’s Dictionary.

"Obama can’t remember what he read/said 10 minutes after he read/said it"

I doubt Traitorobama remembers the lies exhaled from each breath of oxygen he steals.

I think the video is from an October 20, 2006 interview of Obama by Bob Herbert at the Kennedy Library.

Unless he said it more than once.
