Lying Obama says "The facts are the facts", says he ignored Honor rally, political "silly season"

(nice to know all those 500,000 citizens are "silly" and get the audacious birth certificate comment--sounds like a slick con talking)

Excerpt:

The president also chuckled when he was asked about polls that show many Americans still believe he was born outside the United States or was a Muslim. He said he didn’t pay much attention to such perceptions, which he blamed on “a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly.”

I can't spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead,” he added. “The facts are the facts.”

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 “what I’m focused on is making sure that the decisions we’re making now are going to be be not good for the nightly news, not good even necessarily for the next election, but are good for the next generation.”

The same network of misinformation and new media era that got your blank slate self elected?

Zero acts like Nero. He is clueless as to the anger and frustration felt by the majority of Americans regarding his failed power grab of the economy.

If Obama did not exist we would be forced to invent him.

You apparently can't spend any time at all, as you have NEVER SHOWN IT! NOT ONCE!


On a lighter note, what kind of pie did you get with your 100 $$ a lb wagyu steak?

He’s lying again. Kinda like when he said he didn’t know who “Snookie” was, but video showed him making jokes about her.

Hopefully he'll soon be watching congressional Democrats share the same fate the Persian fleet did at Salamis.

Obama: It’s The Political ‘Silly Season’

December 03, 2007 6:20 PM

ABC News’ David Wright Reports: At the end of a long roundtabe on credit card policy, Sen. Barack Obama was asked if he’d like to respond to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s latest.

“No,” he said. But then he couldn’t resist.

“It’s silly season,” he said. “I understand she is even quoting my kindergarten teacher in Indonesia.”

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN1516902320080415

(Reuters) - Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, accused of being elitist for remarks he made about small-town American voters, said on Tuesday the slap at his background is amusing and signals a nation in the midst of “political silly season.”

White House Dismisses Furor Over Obama Speech to Students as ‘Silly Season’

Published September 04, 2009

“If your campaign is going to be about words, they should be your own words,” she said. “Lifting whole passages isn’t change you can believe in; it’s change you can Xerox.”

Some in the audience booed Clinton for the line.

“This is where we start getting into silly season in politics,” Obama replied, saying Patrick is a friend who suggested he use the lines. “People start getting tired of it.”

Clinton was shaken up in 1994 when the Republicans took the House. This evil bastard won’t even seem to care when that happens this Nov.

Think about how indeed he can get around an election, what could possibly happen in America to postpone an election, seriously, I ask everyone to put themselves mentally in a position and find a strategic maneuver that would cause elections to be canceled.

“what I’m focused on is making sure that the decisions we’re making now are

not good for the nightly news,
not good even necessarily for the next election,


but are good for the next generation.”

We already know that Obama is trying to fundamentally change America to fit his socialist vision. But that is a stunning admission of defeat in the 2010 elections, when they are still two month away.
