NPR doing their part . Defund these hacks .

FOX NEWS ALERT !! King Obama and Moochy plan to open and run an ice cream shop on Martha’s Vineyard after Jan. 2013 as soon as he can find a high school kid to show him how to run a business .

I feel like if you follow politics at all you have already heard of this stuff before.  Leave it to NPR to try to bring it back.

How is this first lady a “MOOCH” as compared to other first ladies?

‘;’

FOXTARD NEWS ALERT!!  The Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann, fresh off their 49-state defeat (what were you thinking, Utah?), plan to set up a Christian training center in downtown Godforsaken, Arkansas that advises teabillies through prayer how to eat at the government trough while still proclaiming that they’re “self-sufficient” and don’t need “government handouts.”

No worries really as Barack Obama’s past will soon be coming back from the past to haunt him until the very day what’s left of his miserable political career dies.

Governor Zoolander puts the “goober” in gubernatorial.  He not only does not seem presidentail, he dosn’t even seem human.

Governor Zoolander puts the “goober” in gubernatorial.  He not only does not seem presidentail, he dosn’t even seem human.

One thing you must learn about Barack Obama: his past never comes back to haunt him. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Republicans hopefuls seem to be doing everything in their power to ensure they never acquire such a past (no prospects for a victory in 2012 no presidential office in their future, ensuring they don’t have to be too concerned about an developing a “past” to ever haunt them.) With so much time to get their act together, it is truly a mystery as to why the GOP could not muster a viable candidate, isn’t it!?!

If only the media would have dug though Obama’s trash like they do Republicans.

I love the way the left is looking to make everything any republican says as some kind of crisis. LOL.

Perry has a long long list of the same type of crap on Obama. Obama is a liar and now he has a record. He could not beat Al Capone next year.

You forgot to add “all the while receiving Government hand outs.”

yes like the wildly successful business of George W Bush and his brother.  The one that started a Savings and Loan.

Actually Clinton did and found nothing.  That’s saying something.  All of these Obama is a Muslim/not from this country/not good with business/shady dealings/Rev Wright/Bill Ayers stuff was started by her campaign.

what did he lie about?

Just a whole bunch of racist bullshit.  That’s all he’s good at, so let him have it…

Parry es el capitan pingaloca.

“Fool me once, shame on… shame on you [insert sound of decaying brain matter].  Fool me you can’t get fooled again.”

Just more bullshit from the constantly victimized right.  That’s all they’ve got.

gordon, you are delusional.

You’re right, they found nothing because he had done nothing.

Nothing nefarious about the man.  He’s just a typical lefty/professor who’s comfortable in the classrooms lacking diversity of opinion.  He’s part of the same echo chamber of self congratulating back slappers with no real world experience that the rest of the big government proponents prefer to live in.  Economically illiterate folks with well meaning proposals that always have unintended negative consequences.

I’m sure he’s a great guy, he’s just a wildly incompetent president.   

I believe Obama wrote a book admitting he was NOT raised an American; but was indoctrinated through the formative years in a Muslim school and traditions. HE said the most beautiful sound in the world was the Call To Prayer. Raised being told that America is evil, hate it, get revenge for all the evil we have caused them. That’s what he claimed. Dreams Of My Father

I disagree. It isn’t like he invaded a country that didn’t attack us, or completely botch a hostage rescue attempt, or train and arm our future enemies. He hasn’t screwed up. He has just been ineffective. His major problem is he is the first president since Kennedy to only have been a Senator. All of our presidents since then have either been governors or vice presidents. They use completely differing governance styles. It shows. That his major problem. That’s why he lives for the compromise and really hasn’t taken charge in a lot of areas. His previous job didn’t call for it

uh, you never read the book did you?

Didn’t invade a country that didn’t attack us??  Libya?!  We are sending unmanned drone planes to bomb in Pakistan.  Last I checked, they didn’t invade us either.

And what’s worse is that he didn’t even get approval from congress.  Technically, that is unconstitutional.  Even Bush had gotten congressional approval.

Don’t think he trained and armed future enemies?  Well, the jury is out on these Libyan rebels we prop up.  Give it time.

Compromise?  He had a filibuster proof super majority in both houses for 2 years, and he still neglected to pass a budget.

I am NO fan of president Bush, but i can tell you that Obama exhibits the worst qualities of Bush and triples them.

Hi. I’m Rick Perry. I’m not only the Hair Club President, but I’m also a client.

gussie ,
Rumor has it Rick Perry was born in Nuevo León, Mexico. Rick’s birth
certificate is a forgery and is part of the Mexican/La Raza strategy of
taking Texas back!

Perry is the Mexican usurper!

The last I checked we didn’t invade Libya or Pakistan (nor should we) They were bombing runs, just like the ones Reagan did in the eighties. Declaring war needs congressional approval, not strikes. Ground troops are a different matter. Are we giving them training and weapons? We may, but I haven’t seen that reported yet.

You actually made my point. He didn’t take charge because his previous job didn’t allow it.

I disagree with you on the amplified Bush analogy. Bush governed from his gut and did take risky chances (none of which really seemed to work out too well). Obama sits back and waits. He is just ineffective. He isn’t proactive so to speak.

His past never comes back to haunt him because he has spent millions of dollars to ensure Americans have only sketch details. Transcripts- nope, grades- ?, Is he a genius- who knows? trip to Pakistan in the 80′s- never really explained how he was allowed to travel there at the time, his mother’s passport records ‘accidentally’ destroyed by the State Department, was he or wasn’t he a benefactor of affirmative action… If Republicans can be accused of trying to erase their past, I guess Obama can be accused of trying to create one- one that no one is allowed to question. 

Oh please is this all you have, this is what you are talking about for ads Alvarez ???? This is nothing compared to the ads that the GOP nominee can make of obama and all in his own word, what you are using here this Texas Tribune it’s known for it’s liberal slant, I see nothing wrong with these things, of course his critics will, it is just showing the panic the left is showing trying to get Perry because he is so human compared to arrogant obama, I mean look at how normal people on the trail are reacting to him, we are sick of the conceited , empty suit obama, get over it Perry won three times for a reason, and I am a Hispanic, live only on SS , a widow, and use to be a democrat but here in Texas there a many like me who like him, you just want to report only the negative, I hope he wins.

Everyone is equal, but some are more than others.

BREAKING: People Who Will Never Vote Republican Don’t Like Rick Perry

“Everybody knows that it makes no sense that… ya send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma, they end up takin’ up a hospital bed, it costs, when, if you, they just gave, gave ‘em treatment early… and they got some treatment… and uh, a breathalyzer…”

Oh, nothing. Don’t you worry about a thing.

His major problem is he is the first president since Kennedy to only have been a Senator. All of our presidents since then have either been governors or vice presidents. They use completely differing governance styles.

Yeah: they actually know how to govern. He doesn’t.

It depends on what the definition of “is” is…

It’s racist because they’re black.

Perry, supposedly just an uneducated hick, is playing the MSM like an accomplished maestro with them being his stratovarious.

He has gotten more free air time/name recognition in less than one week than all the other Republican hopefuls plus Obama combined.

Keep up the great work all you MSM LIBER-al-ACES.You’ll be the death of Obama’s political career yet.

None of those three seem  like a big deal to me. Although “Adios MoFo” will be fun if and when he loses the nomination or general election.

How do you sat “idiot” in Spanish?

Poor Gordon…

Nobody loves him.

The Amygdala Strain: Rick Perry as Psychological Pandemic

With the ascendency of a barefaced buffoon to the apex of right-wing
politics some began to suspect that conservatism was not just a political disposition. 
And as George W. Bush’s corporate-Jesus coalition evolved into a throng
that could call Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and now Rick Perry its
own, Republicanism completed its transition from political ideology into psychological disorder …

Analysis of the disloyal opposition

I heard that too, and don’t doubt it for a minute. Just look at him (Perry). He looks like a Latino.

“Do Perry’s comments make him more personable? Do you agree with his critics that they don’t make him seem “presidential”?
”

Do I care that he got frustrated with a cop and tried to weasel out of a ticket? Not particularly. Do I care that he badmouthed W.? Not particularly.

These incidents definitely don’t make him seem more personable, but they do add to the library of knowledge about him as a bit of a loose cannon. He’s actually the perfect foil for Obama, who’s been consistently cool, calm and collected through every crisis and is able to think more than one move ahead. That proved particularly effective against John McCain in 2008. It will be even more effective against a shoot-from-the-lip cowboy with a penchant for intemperate remarks.

None of the Presidents since Kennedy, except for Johnson (too bad he messed up big time in  Viet Nam), can hold a candle to JFK.  Also, Nixon, Daddy Bush and Jerry Ford were not governors. Would love to have seen JFK cut Reagan down to size in a debate.

Nixon was governor of California. Ford and Bush were vice presidents.

Definition of a Liberal – “A Conservative who has just lost his job”.

Definition of Pro-choice – “A Tea Partyer” whose unmarried daughter has just gotten pregnant”.

I’d also like to point out the high name recognition enjoyed by Anders Breivik, and all he had to do was kill 77 people.

Ya know, when they tell you there’s no such thing as bad publicity? They’re lying.

Quite so.

Also people who’d never vote for GWB’s soul brother, or for an aggressively holier-than-thou prig, or an “idea man’ with the attention span of a mayfly, or a loose cannon who throws words like “seccession” and “treason” around as if they don’t matter, or for someone who hamhandedly cooks the books on his mythical accomplishments . . . those people don’t like him and won’t vote for him.

The pool of those who will seems to be drying up.

I believe you’ve just profiled a typical Perry voter pretty comprehensively for us. Thanks for the assist.

It’s no crisis when the Republican presidential candidates speak, it’s just very revealing. Myself, I want them to keep talking, and talking, and talking.

You? Not so much.

Well, your characterization of what Obama says in the book is a pack of lies.

And of course, sane people read that book and realize that — as a result of his personal history and character — we have a president who can appreciate America’s place in the world to a degree that perhaps no other president ever has.

Fools may think that’s a bad thing, but they also seem to think that having a passport is vaguely unAmerican. There is no place for such narrow, chauvinsitic beliefs in the 21st Century.

I believe his resume is a bit broader than your average professor.

Seriously. What did he lie about? I asked the same question for bush when people said he lied. He didn’t lie, he was just wrong.

I think it’s his character that leads him to attempt to steer a middle path, even when that’s clearly impossible, because his political opponents don’t want him to steer at all. They just want him to fail, and damn the cost to America and the world.

Perhaps experience as a governor would have helped, but I don’t think anyone who didn’t simply give the Republicans everything they want — no matter how insane — could have gotten any more sensible behavior out of them.

cristanti…

No, really…idiota, pretty simple huh?

But my personal favorite is menso. 

You are aware that “invasion” is different than “airstrikes,” I trust. And that the difference is huge?

Technically, while some have argued that the Libya and Pakistan involvements are unconstitutional, no one thinks so seriously enough to do anything about it. Obama’s administration says it’s within his rights and those who object are grumbling and bearing it. And Bush reneged on a major requirement of that congressional approval by not pursuing means short of war that he had promised. So who’s unconstitutional here?

You are right that we don’t know where the Libyan rebels will end up vis-a-vis the US. Obama has rolled the dice on that one.

But he had nothing even remotely approaching a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate at any time, because of the arcane rules of that body that require a supermajority simply to end debate.

Bush was arrogant, sanctimonious, lazy, easily provoked, vindictive, mendacious, and a toady to the rich for whom he had long served as errand boy. Say what you will about Obama, but his flaws are almost entirely different.

Birfergrl, you’re spouting bullshit. That’s got to taste bad.

I hope the “goober in gubernatorial” isn’t original with you, because I’m sure as hell going to steal that phrase. There are so many wingnut govs to which it applies!

Wah-wah-waaaaaah . . .

You’ll never develop a reputation for a rapier wit if you insist on using a wet noodle.

We got the only republican who raises taxes as Gov in MI he taxed my pension he deserves the goober

Ford wasn’t elected vice-president or President

Yes and it was such informative air time great publicity

x no post here.

I cannot tell a lie, a former opponent of Perry’s came up with the line.

Uh oh. Another embarrassing Perry video appears. Watch this clip in which he tries to defend “abstinence only” school programs that don’t work. Then try to imagine him in debate with Obama. Perry is toast:

http://gawker.com/5832870/rick-perry-talks-about-sexxx

Nice reply- are people suppose to take you seriously or do you think you sooo clever? Can you answer any of those questions with proof of knowledge? Do you consider yourself an expert on the Obama’s past, so much so that you know more than anyone else- because as far as I know no one has been able to shed any light on tapping that information. You must be special.

Perry is such a toad.  He must have read from Newt Gingrich’s manual on how to run for president.  What a dumbass.

yeah, because NOBODY ever brings back what you’ve done in your past during Presidential races. 

I imagine you can hear my eyes rolling from where you are.

As ususal.. Rupert Murdock’s Fox is full of encitement, lies and biggotry

One thing about the religious right… they don’t read their own commandments… what about:  thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor????   a bunch of hippocrites.  Guess they don’t really believe there will be a time they have to answer for their actions

Obama isn’t bought, and his soul doesn’t belong to the KOCH brothers or the reincarnation of the KKK: ALEC…  Those who owe their souls to these people are not doing the will of the people who elected them.   and now these so called representatives are doing all they can to destroy this country and the economy.   Ben Ladin said he would destroy the US by destroying the economy.  They are really helping achieve this goal.  And these so called religious right??? they should read their own 10 commandments.
If they can read and comprehend

He is the only president since FDR who has had such an obstructionist congress… a congress bought and sold by Koch/ALEC.  Even when he signs an executive order it can’t get funded…  Get a clue

True… the Republican congress is bought and owned by Koch/ALEC and the WE the people don’t matter to them

More WingNut intelligentsia.  Tis good.

You don’t care if he mis-treats cops and tries to use his authority and office to be above the law?

Check your facts… He went to a Chrisitian school… and even if he wasn’t…why would a call to prayer be offensive to a religious right person???? Read the book instead of listening to Limbaugh, Beck and watching FOX… they are the ONLY ones touting these lies… isn’t there a commandment that says thou shalt not bare false witness against your neighbor?    or don’t the commandments have to be followed by the religious right?????   Time people start looking out of the FOX box before your country is owned by Koch/ALEC

Who calls him uneducated? 

Don’t confuse stupid and lazy with dumb.  Perry was able to soar to 2.22 GPA and A&M, and parlay that into an Air Force commission.  He may not be a genius, but he isn’t dumb.

Now, his reflexive followers who think politics is like an Oscar Wilde quote….that may be a different story

Man, the treachers are just dmba$$es

And has anyone heard the Rick Perry has recently had experimental stem cell surgery on his back????  I repeat stem cell surgery

You see nothing wrong with trying to use your position to weasel out of a ticket, talking down to a cop and then accusing everyone else of being an elitist? 

I”m sure he could figure it out.  He use to work for Baskin-Robbins in Hawaii.

Even the republicans in Texas are talking out about him and the mess he made in Texas

treacher will tell you all the things he supposedly about, since the treachers are mindless Republican simpletons.  Hell, treacher probably believe we found WMD in Iraq

That would be “Neil Bush” – the Savings & Loan friend of Charles Keating. 

Perry just needs to keep talking…. he is destroying himself.. he doesn’t need help

Bush lied.  He just didn’t lie about the things he was wrong about.

All politicians lie, except for the right wing numbuts who exist only in treacher’s imagination and heroically fight to keep rich people rich, the air dirty, the water filthy, and the poor living in squalor. 

You think they consider all the climbing up and down those crosses to be some sort of blasphemy, but who can know since you can rarely hear them through their of tears or yells of confusion

It’s really too bad he didn’t write 2 books…..it’s almost impossible to know what happened in his youth, unless you could read

I believe you are wrong and never read either of his books.

Can you imagine in 2011, there is still some whiner who wants to complain Obama is a secret Muslim, misquotes him on the call to prayer, and gives the Hannity line about “the America First” crowd.  How people like this are capable of using an internet connection is just baffling

That’s not fair.  if he did, Republicans wouldn’t like him at all

I don’t think any presidential candidate has ever been scutinized more or lied about more than President Obama.  Right wingers claim he has never worked for a business – but yet, he did work for an International financial business for over a year after graduating from Columbia.  But, he decided he wanted public service – and that is when he took a big paycut to go to Chicago to work as a community organizer for a Catholic-Jewish non-profit organization.  He found a lot of satisfaction in helping poor people and those laid off from the steel industry – in finding new skills, jobs, housing. 

Finally.  Faced with a massive economic downturn and a Congressional minority who stated goal was not to improve the country, but to make him a one term President (and now opposes tax holidays they would support any other time, because it might help him).  No one has ever had to deal with someone as purely disgusting as Mitch McConnell

There was no problem in getting approval to travel to Pakistan in the 80′s with a regular passport.  That lie about there being a problem traveling to Pakistan is a myth that the GOP pundits want you to believe. 

He had a filibuster proof super majority in both houses for 2 years

Uh, no he didn’t.  He had it for maybe 8 months (from the time the Republicans stopped obstructing Al Franken until Ted Kennedy died (you need 60 votes, not 60% of the votes, thus when Byrd and Kennedy were unable to vote, he had 58 votes).

This ability to forget the recent past in the American electorate is troublesome

What you see depends on where you stand.  Attacks by Jon Huntsman, Karl Rove and Democrats can be seen as pro-Perry ads by a lot of his supporters.

Woah!  A whole year?

Ford was Vice President for such a short time prior to moving into the Oval Office with Nixon’s resignation, that you can’t really even count that.  Other than that, his experience was in the House of Representatives only. 
While a lot of the electorate remained upset with Ford for giving Nixon a pardon and put Carter in, in the end Ford may have proved to have been an effective leader.  I can now see why he felt the need to pull the country together and move forward – but the people wanted him to make Nixon pay for abusing the office of the presidency.  So what did we do when Cheney & Bush did things which were in violation of the law,  like the outing of Plame and torturing prisoners?  We let them go without any impeachment hearings at all.

 Since when is saying what you believe to be true lying?  And not all lying is “bearing false witness”.  If I say I think President Obama is a Communist born in Kenya, and believe it, I am not lying.  If I know that President Obama is not and never has been a card carrying member of the Communist Party, but put out an advertisement to that effect, that is a lie, but not “bearing false witness”.  If I know he is not, but tell a court he is, that is bearing false witness.

Seeing this kind of following of FOX and what it choses to tell people who aren’t apparently capable of finding out FACTS for themselves and who will believe anything the GOP pundits tell them,  makes us better understand why Hitler was able to get people to follow him without any care of what he was doing to the Jews.

Then again, if they choose not to read a book written by Barack Obama, perhaps they should choose an investigative reporter David Mendell who in 2007 published “Obama – from Promise to Power”.  Mendell wrote a book after interviewing lots of people in then Senator Obama’s life.

You live on Social Security which Perry thinks needs to be discontinued and you are cheering for the guy?  what in the hell is wrong with this picture?

Why the hell did either of those men get out of their vehicle and walk around/toward the officers during a traffic stop? Anyone, especially a person with darker skin, would run the risk of getting shot. That’s a pretty aggressive move.

Also, Perry proudly proclaims that he carries a sidearm. Isn’t it required in Texas that one report that one is armed whenever dealing with the police as they did? I’ve got a carry permit and that’s certainly what I was told when I took my required Oregon firearm safety course….

First I like your comment. I’m with you.  Rick Perry scares me. He wants to eliminate fed. income tax.  Thereby no new revenue so the only option is cutting.  Guess where  he’s going to cut?  He’s against Gay marriage.  He wants a balanced budget on yeah, that’s right balanced on folks who are low income.  He’s against direct election of senators.   He wants to change the US constitution.  Very frightening imho.

Yes I am special. Thanks for noticing. I’m special because I’m not a batshit insane conspiracy theorist, which puts me in a distinct minority around loons like yourself.

And yes, I do think I’m pretty darn clever, and not just in comparison to you (no real stretch there). As I make my living ”being clever” I have some empirical evidence to support my assertion.

With regard to your nutso imaginings, I quote Christopher Hitchens (speaking on a different topic): “That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.”

Millions of dollars for a cover-up? Show me the money.
Transcripts? Grades? None of your business.
Is he a genius? Who cares?
Travel to Pakistan? You mean like the thousands of other Americans who did so at the same time?
Missing records? Of course that *never* happens. Affirmative action? Maybe, maybe not. So what?
Created past? In your dreams.

Have you considered taking up another hobby?

Full of poo.

Wow. He really is as dumb as a post. I think he’d lose a debate with my pet fish.

He speaks reasonably well (as these things are defined for wingnut pols) with prepared remarks, but if this is any evidence of him “thinking on his feet,” it’s going to be a long, painful campaign season for him. Or perhaps a *short,* painful campaign instead.

wow. You projected all that from me questioning Obama’s transcripts- conspiracy theory? really?, hee hee- yup – you have me all figured out… I hate to disappoint you, but it took about 30 seconds to respond to the original comment in regards to the past coming back to haunt Republicans. Obviously my point was was “turn around transparency is fair play” something you completely missed in your haste to lump anyone who questions the president’s past as ‘insane’, I could careless about Obama’s past. It’s the future of the country I care about. 

The “conspiracy theorist” is demonstrated by your statement: “. . . he spent millions of dollars to ensure Americans have only sketch (sic) details.” Everything else follows directly from what you posted.

You made a nutso post and now a nutso follow-up and have now been called out as a nutso. It’s like night following day.

You are totally correct- although it wasn’t a place the state department recommended at the time. The only reason I used that as an example is that it caught the press/media and investigative journalists off-guard at the time he announced it during his campaign in 2008. His past has come back and his actions, words (as with every politician) will be called into question at some point.
Just as you don’t find many college students going to North Korea for summer break, this was an unusual trip at the time, even if it was to visit a friend’s family. However, according to Obama he left from Indonesia not the US when he made the trip, so it was off the radar of anyone looking. 

The “conspiracy theorist” is demonstrated by your statement: “. . . he spent millions of dollars to ensure Americans have only sketch (sic) details.” Everything else follows directly from what you posted.

So, he hasn’t spent one penny to keep his transcripts sealed. Thanks for clearing that up, I’ve lost so much sleep over it. You are the only one calling names, so forgive if I am not to impressed with your skills in making a legitimate point or one at all, for that matter. Have a great weekend.

Unfounded allegations are like grafitti — if you let them build up, eventually they begin to degrade society. So when people like you make nonsensical accusations, it’s important that you be challenged.

Don’t like it? Don’t talk smack.

So?  How about that Michelle Bachmann – and all her experience in business  working for the IRS.  I don’t call that business experience.

Chances are good Snidely that you know you are lying when you do it.  You just close your mind and no one can even show you the truth- because you think you know it all.

Name the book and give the page numbers.

Echo chamber = the latest CONservative buzzword. Funny how you guys echo each other.

If you are counting “Likes” subtract one to every comment you make because I can’t find a Dislike button. If your logic is based on only being called names by one guy, make that two guys. You are a brainwashed loony.

What you see depends on where you stand.  What constitutes “truth” depends on what you believe.  When I write on one of these forums I never lie; it would be counterproductive.  When I write relating to a fact – something that is verifiable as to exist or to have existed, to have happened at a particular time and place or not- I usually go online and check my facts before I write anything, for the simple reason that I dislike being shown to have written something contrary to fact. 
Opinions are an entirely different proposition.  When I give my opinion, it is my opinion and I state it as such.  Fortunately, I’m still entitled to my opinion in the USA, however much some on both sides of any political question would like to make it illegal to state opinions contrary to the current various “party lines”.  I am even allowed to believe and state an opinion that would seem to be in opposition to an opinion I stated at an earlier time, and contradicts an opinion I will state at a later time.  I accord you the same right.
I’ve been reading some of your other posts on this forum, and have come to the conclusion that you are a committed Obama partisan and will say anything, true or not, to further his cause. It is you who have a closed mind.

I notice Rick Perry doesn’t use a teleprompter.  The “Great Orator” Barak Obama cannot utter a sentence that is not punctuated with “uh”‘s and stutters without one.  He – Obama – is also prone to serious gaffs when he tries to speak extemporaneously.   As in “share the wealth” spoken to “Joe the Plummer”.  As in the “cops acted stupidly” remark.  I recommend this site:  http://www.teleprompterpresident.com/teleprompter_videos/

After the police pull you over, they often ask you to step over to the police car for further discussion. If Perry had the gun permit at that time, he would have told the police about it and left the weapon in the vehicle.
Had this happened in China, the standard procedure would be for the police to remain in their car, and you go to them–hands visible, of course.

You’re either fooling yourself or trying to. Good luck with that.

All speakers have their little tics, and Obama’s include ums and uhs, and a tendency to chuckle at his own jokes. But the substance of what he says is solid and often brilliant.

His gaffes-per-thousand words is comparable to others whose every utterance is recorded, and in fact comfortably lower than most presidents. Admittedly, GWBush deformed the presidential curve by being unable to say “Good morning” without some stumble or the other.

Perry, on the other hand, can deliver a polished speech pretty well, which compares unfavorably to Obama’s polished speeches (the teleprompter is a red herring)  where he is generally among the top orators of our day.

But when Perry attempts to compose a serious thought on the fly (especially when he’s lying, which is pretty often), he swallows his tongue. Obama, on the other hand isn’t necessarily brilliant speaking off the cuff, but he makes sense.

There is no comparison.

Well said.

Get angry! Well. Angrier.

You have quite a way with words.

Like I said: Nothing. Try to relax.

Everything is falling into place, just as I planned! Muah-ha-ha!!!

its not news when npr goes after a relatively conservative republican candidate. its politics and its to be expected.  it would be news if they did not go after him. 

President Obama reads a mean teleprompter.  Period.  Paragraph.  Other than that he is almost entirely inarticulate.  He is such a prolific liar that he does not even try to keep his lies straight.  His supporters – and I include you – and most media ignore his lies, just as they ignore all the gaps in his record.  I have never seen any trace of his record as an undergraduate.  Nobody has come forward and said they were in his freshman American History class.  Nobody has said they dated him in college.  There is no trace of an article he wrote for the Harvard Law Review.  His medical records have never been released. 

He was elected on his teleprompter speeches.  People were able to write on his blank slate their own hopes and fears.  In 2012 he will have to run on the record he has made as president, and it ain’t pretty.  54% of the American people don’t like Obamacare.  His polling on his economic record is something like 26%.  If things don’t get a lot better fast, he’s toast.

http://www.teleprompterpresident.com/teleprompter_videos/

Counting ‘likes’?  Uh no…and speaking of logic you could use some -your comment makes absolutely no sense. How am I brainwashed? Did you even read the original post I responded to? no doubt you did not. 

Oh there will be a time when ALL of us (including you) will have to answer for our actions. It’s obvious that the reporter on this story for mediaite is trying his hardest to bring forward alot of attacks on a candidate. Every single candidate is going to say the wrong thing or speak without thinking.  We all do that everyday of our lives. It’s just that a candidate is being disputed constantly. It’s not easy to be a perfect candidate. ..because they aren’t allowed to be.  Whenever a front-runner appears…that candidate will be scrutinized extensively.  The projects that Perry is talking about are all things that make changes.  Remember Obama talking “change” for months. It’s obvious that this countries government needs changes.

Snidely, you could be wasting your breath.  These Obama people are so convinced he’s their “golden boy” that they see no further than today.  They don’t look forward only back. Blame and race are their topics if you say something against their opinions. Obama has never held a real job.  Being an organizer is probably a job but sure doesn’t qualify him as a president.  He was bought, purchased and gotten into the presidency by tactics of those with money. He speaks for “them’ not for American citizens.

What was the nonsensical “accusation” I made? 

His “past” never comes back????  There is some information about him coming back right now.  But for any of you to believe it would be contrary. You see, when new candidates are out campaigning…don’t ever think that Obama’s past isn’t going to haunt him…it will.  I personally think that obama is a one-term president.  That will be a great asset for this country.

YOu are that right.  No one is to question this president. So far, he has paid a tremdous amount to keep his past secret.  If your not ashamed of your past…then why try to hide it.  He knows he has been caught at not being a true American citizen and therefore alot of money has past through hands to cover that up. Donald Trump is no fool.  I congratulate for bringing it to a head.  There have been so many under-handed incidents from this White House. They are not honest and are out to destroy this country.

Don’t run someone down; just because you question their ethics.  All you have to do is go on Snopes website and you’ll face alot of stuff you don’t want to hear or believe.

NO one talks smack better than you.  Your words portray your personality and your way of writing portrays what you do not know.  You’d be better off to say as “little as possible” because your making a fool of yourself. 

And I suppose that you haven’t heard or read that Obama was funded by Soro’s.???

Thanks.  I’ve gotten nothing but negative feedback prior to this.  However, being a retired old cuss, I don’t have much else to do, and you never can tell, maybe one of these people will at least look into what I’m saying and not just swallow the nonsense that’s out there.

Technically, I think Perry and Bush despise each other.

WHY DON’T YOUNG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM? WHEN BUSH AND OBAMA MET TO TALK ABOUT THE BAILOUT BEFORE HE (OBAMA)  WAS AN ACTING PRESIDENT, THEY BOTH DECIDED TO MAKE SLAVES OF ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR THE SAKE OF SOME. WHAT HAPPENED TO—THE RIGHT TO YOUR LIFE.–WHOOPS WE NOW BELONG TO THE GOV. PART TIME. IS THERE SUCH A THING AS PART TIME SLAVERY? ISN’T IT IRONIC THAT SLAVERY WAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE WITH A BLACK PRESIDENT!!!!!

RICK PERRY DID NOT SAY THE WRONG THING ABOUT THE FED.HE SPOKE THE TRUTH AND EVERYONE IN THE MEDIA WANTS YOU THINK THAT SPEAKING THE TRUTH IS WRONG.WAKE UP. WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD THE TRUTH FROM OBAMA OR THE PRESS.

HONEY, HE HELPED YOU RIGHT INTO SLAVERY. IN THIS COUNTRY YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE A RIGHT TO YOUR LIFE, THAT MEANS THAT IT BELONGS TO YOU AND NOT THE GOV. OR AIG OR GM OR THE BANKS. ALL OBAMA HAD TO DO IS SAY NO WHEN HE MET WITH BUSH ABOUT THE BAILOUT. HE SAID YES AND MADE SLAVES OF EVERYONE. IT TOOK A CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER TO TURN ALL OF US INTO SLAVES FOR A BUNCH OF CROOKS.

How many times have you been pulled over? In general they will tell you to remain in the vehicle unless they are administering a search, giving a DUI test, suspect you of another crime because once you get out of the vehicle if they are still in their vehicle they are at a disadvantage if you pull a gun. 

No.  BO is owned by George Soros who stands to make billions drilling oil off of Brazil and then selling it to us.

In this case, it makes a whole lot of sense that a cop dealing with the state’s Lieutenant Governor would ask him to talk in front of the police dashboard camera so he would have a record of exactly what happened and not let the LTGov tell a different story later. For the cop, it was CYA.

As for my explanation, I was trying to tell DarkLady how this happens AFTER the normal approach that you describe is made.

I have been pulled over twice in my life. The first time, I was about 17, and a patch of ice at the bottom of a hill made me run a red light. I couldn’t stop, so I gunned the car through, and a cop pulled me over immediately. We sat in his car while he wrote out the ticket ‘cuz it was cold outside. There were no dashboard cameras at that time.

The second time, I was pulled over for doing 60 in a 55 zone. Illinois State police were doing this at the border. I stayed in my car and the policeman searched the back of it for a bomb, then he gave me a warning, not a ticket. (I was not profiled as a bomber, I think. ;-)  )

It is far, far better to speak slowly and ad an umm than to change a word in the middle of it (misunderestimate – Bush) or babble on and on while trying to find a point to make (Palin).

When giving a big speech, every president has used a teleprompter since they were invented. The teleprompter attack is the weakest thing ever.

Well that settles the “phony birth certificate” question, doesn’t it? Not only was Obama not born in America, he wasn’t even born on this planet, and instead was landed clandestinely at biological age 21 by a scout ship from Fomalhaut IV.

I’ll admit Obama is facing a serious challenge to his reelection. However, he might get by simply on the quality of his opposition, which at this point looks like it’s going to be very low indeed.

Oh, and also because those who oppose him mostly live in discontinuous parallel universes and might not even show up in the same dimension to vote.

That Obama has spent millions of dollars to conceal his “true identity.” Or don’t you remember?

Thanks. I’ll give your critique the consideration it deserves.

Great! That makes two of us!

 I do not pretend to know President Obama’s history.  My point is that anyone who does know it isn’t talking, and the official record is being hidden to what seems to me an extraordinary extent.  Have you ever read what his GPA at Occidental College was?  At Columbia?  I haven’t, and I’ve looked for it.  There are all sorts of strange stuff out there – google his name and there are claims he worked for the CIA -  but none of the mundane details that are the usual stuff of American life.  George W. Bush and John Kerry were both known quantities.  Lots of detail.  John McCain likewise.  BHO II?  The guy is a blank slate by comparison.

hey there
, rick perry has been hired by the big banks to steal away ron paul’s votes. he is a liar and has no intention of doing anything about the fed or anything else. 

ron paul has 30 years of on record voting and discussion about the fed. rick perry woke up yesterday talking about the evil ‘fed’ and then is on camera in dc in the same week getting support by bank of america,…..a bank that owns part of the fed!

Just exactly what I was thinking about you and yours……there’s more nonsense coming from the right than this country can bear. More hatred. More disrespect. More ignorance. More brainless bashing…….

And you haters are not? Pul-eeze……
