    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864

    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Obama Unplugged — “Umm…,” “Uhh…,” “Ahh…” for America

Posted on July 22, 2008 by Riley

During Barry Obama’s press conference today, that clocked in at 40 minutes, a full 8 minutes or 20 percent of it consisted of him going, “umm…,” “uhh…,” or “ahh…”  Audio of this strung together was played on Rush Limbaugh today and was painful to listen to — and that was just the 46 second version.  The entire 8 min. version did not fit in a single segment, so Limbaugh continued playing it while he went to a commercial break and when they returned, it was still going.

This is what happens when Obama is unplugged from his teleprompter.  Plus, you get gems like his 57 states comment and remark about serving as President for the next 10 years (for the record, unless you are VP and rise to fill an unexpired term that has less than two full years remaining in it, it is constitutionally impossible to serve 10 years.)  This guy makes Dan Quayle look like a genius.  You wouldn’t know it based on media coverage, though.  I guess they’re too busy feeling that tingle running up their legs when they see Barry.

Harvard MUST have graded Obama on a curve…

    Don’t forget his brilliant statement that Israel is a friend of Israel.

    Uh, compared to McCain, I’ll take Obama’s mistakes any day of the week. At least he didn’t lose the Vietnam War for us.

    Jerry, that is the most ridiculous comment that I’ve ever heard.

    First, Obama was “smoking weed and doing a little blow” according to his own admission around the time that Saigon fell (maybe a few years after that.)

    Second, had Obama been president during the last four years, he would have lost Iraq for us. If not for the surge, he wouldn’t have even been able to visit Iraq a few weeks ago as it would be a much different and more dangerous place.

    Third, John McCain did not set policy during the Vietnam War. As a P.O.W., he refused to engage in anything that could have been used by the enemy as propoganda.

    We lost Vietnam because people like YOU whined and cried about “Make Love Not War” here and gave the enemy comfort. They knew they just had to wait us out.

    What a joke. Here is the facts. This is an event that happened back in Feb….during Black Hist. month. And part of the song….a very small part, was an ode to Obama being the first black president. EVERY parent had the (kinda lame) lyrics…and agreed to them. This was part of a large back american month song….fox news and M. Savage are a JOKE!!! Argue policy…not some kids singing….shows how weak they are…..
