Obama says he Ignored Beck rally
MSNBC ^ | August 29, 2010 | Brian Williams

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.”

Beck is dug in under Obama’s skin like a tick.

La Cosa Nostra boss Albert Anastasia (a real animal) was watching TV and saw a good citizen who had fingered a crook talking about it to a reporter.
“The Lord High Executioner,” turned to a crony and said,”I hate squealers,hit that guy!” and the man was whacked.

Obama was glued to the tube just hating on Beck and screaming,”I despise that cracker,hit that guy!”

To which the Secret Service kept reminding him that just because HE came from the Chicago Mafia machine THEY,unlike HIM,meant what they said when they took the oath to uphold and protect the United States Constitution.

No I have no hard facts to support what I’m going to say, but I think he indeed watched it. And had several others around him watching it as well.

No way did he not watch it.

Just my gut instinct.

His feelings are hurt. He can’t understand why the country opposes him and his ideas. He thought he was going to be popular. He thought he was going to be liked but now all he sees is his poll numbers dropping, people wondering if he’s American minded and he can’t do anything right. The rallies, the tea parties & the vanishing fortunes of his party are all a creation of his making and of course he’s going to deny because he can’t can’t come to grips with the harsh reality that the country beginning to turn on him.

“Maybe I messed up, but when I went to the link it was a story about Obama vowing to take care of the oil spill areas.

Re: what I read in this excerpt. Beck wasn’t “stirring up” anyone, Dear Leader; he was just telling everyone to be their better selves. You really need to have your aides pay more attention.

He doesn’t seem to pay attention to much other than golfing.

It's like (and I'm not comparing der Fuhrer to Obama) Hitler in his bunker as Berlin burns above his head.

HE kept blaming the German people for the nation's annihilation—HE was the perfect leader—it was the Germans who let HIM down and were thus unworthy of HIS leadership—HE was perfect—GERMANY was weak!

He also mentioned Snooki in a speech and then said he doesn’t know who Snooki is. Snooki said she is against Obama’s tanning tax and she also said that “Obama knows who I am.” So far, Snooki is 2 for 2. I guarantee you the Beck rally got under his skin, liberals can’t stand any dissent. If they could they would silence all of their critics and we would be under a repressive regime like North Korea, Cuba, Iran, etc.

Of course the Racist-in-Chief did`nt pay attention to it. The rally attendees did`nt predominantly have skin of color. Why should he pay attention to crackers?

I hope he really did but I don't believe him like every thing else the guy says.

Did he use a teleprompter to tell the press this earth shattering news?

not good for the next election, but for the next generations

The question is, for the next generations of what countries?

what President would say that he doesn’t care about the nightly news or the next election but “generations” from now?

That's easy--a bald faced liar TOTUS.

Yeah, that's why every other word coming out of his mouth is a complaint about the Republicans.

Beck, Limbaugh, Palin and so many others already live rent free in Barry’s head.
