that “anti-colonial behavior” is a terrible thing, my apologies to our founding fathers.
wait, i think i just figured out what bothers newt about about “Kenyan anti-colonial behavior” and it probably isn’t that they are largely loyal to their spouses.

I don’t understand why Mediaite should take such an offence with Newts remark.

Newt, like Mediaite with Tommy’s smoking heart attack story are just looking for headlines. Anything you can do, say or write just to get noticed.

Well, both stories worked!

Looking at it from our side, you both look pretty ridiculous. These types of stories are one of the many reasons media is in the dumps today. It is all about you guys…never a consideration for your readers.

Just my opinion!

“Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept,
the nomination of my party for another term
as your President.” Borrowed by Barack Obama, March 31, 2012,
from LBJ, 3/31/68!

All right you mugs . Gibbs is either stupid or purposely being obtuse . Gingrich is referring to a 2 year old theory about Obama’s heritage , not his birthplace . See ?

Check it out , yo . …http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/06/obama_the _african_colonial.html

I strongly recommend ______ B l a c k w h i t e C u p i d * C o m ______ to you where I just found my interracial boyfriend! You know it is a great place to meet black men and beautiful women. What’s kind of relationship do you want? ;)

I came across an online community for individual seeking interracial love. It is ___ B l a c k w h i t e C u p i d * C o m ___ All singles there are seeking interracial relationships. Interracial is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!

Obama knows more about other countries than he does ours. There is nothing wrong with Newt’s comment.

Gingrich was of course, referring to Obama’s father’s political ambitions in Kenya. Unfortunately for Mediaite and the MSM, Most everyone knows this these days. Used to be that the MSM could pick and choose what to report, and the public was either aware or ignorant based upon what the media elitists chose to print. These days, we can get the rest of the story with a click.

In Gibbs defense, if it were my job to daily defend an utter failure, I’d probably try to change the subject too.

Whenever I see Gibbs, I look for a large rack of BBQ Baby Back Ribs,
he must keep nearby 24/7 ! This guy looks like he shoves food in his
face every waking moment ..

Gibbs is a failure because BHO is a failure.

He was referring to this article:

What then is Obama’s dream? We don’t have to speculate because the President tells us himself in his autobiography, Dreams from My Father. According to Obama, his dream is his father’s dream. Notice that his title is not Dreams of My Father but rather Dreams from My Father. Obama isn’t writing about his father’s dreams; he is writing about the dreams he received from his father.

An odd choice, certainly, as an inspirational hero. But to his son, the elder Obama represented a great and noble cause, the cause of anticolonialism. Obama Sr. grew up during Africa’s struggle to be free of European rule, and he was one of the early generation of Africans chosen to study in America and then to shape his country’s future.

I know a great deal about anticolonialism, because I am a native of Mumbai, India. I am part of the first Indian generation to be born after my country’s independence from the British. Anticolonialism was the rallying cry of Third World politics for much of the second half of the 20th century. To most Americans, however, anticolonialism is an unfamiliar idea, so let me explain it.

Anticolonialism is the doctrine that rich countries of the West got rich by invading, occupying and looting poor countries of Asia, Africa and South America. As one of Obama’s acknowledged intellectual influences, Frantz Fanon, wrote in The Wretched of the Earth, “The well-being and progress of Europe have been built up with the sweat and the dead bodies of Negroes, Arabs, Indians and the yellow races.”

Hey Sara,
Have you noticed something a little weird about the thumbs up/down thing the last couple days? Perhaps it’s just me.

Gingrich didn’t mention Obama’s birth certificate, he was actually discussing Obama’s policies. It’s the Left that always changes the subject from a discussion on policies into a defense of the President’s birth certificate. Memo to Gibbs: Why don’t you try defending what the President has done during the last two years rather than bring up this tired birther issue one more time?

It appears some of the garbage pickers on the site have figured out how to erase their internet history and keep giving thumbs down, because it wasnt working before when they only got 1 vote. Too bad the next election wont be working that way for them.

Thanks for explaining Corvax. That makes sense. I guess the leftist loons got sick of losing the thumb war on one of their leftist sites. That would be demoralizing!

I find it humorous. I wouldnt put it past this site to have staffers who are flooding the thumbs down just so it doesnt look as bad for them and their viewpoints. Desperation is a stinky cologne as they say.

Actually you just have to use a different internet connection on a portable device. Like take your iPhone to 20 McDonalds with different WiFi connections.

Yes, I have. And the funny thing is all the thumbs down for comments that shouldn’t be offensive to anyone. haha

It’s probably *you know who* who got mad he was always 200 thumbs down to 2 thumbs up.

It’s SO funny that you say that because I was imagining Colby and Glynnis spending their afternoons giving us the thumb.

Consider me checked, colby!!

Funny enough Glynnis has a column about shutting down the comments section??? Mmmmmmmm.

As long as she reaches a compromise to cease her stalker like articles on Palin.

Newt Gingrich is an American Hero!

Actually he is not. He spent so much time attacking a democrat president that his party lost five seats in the 1998 midterm.He then had to resign.

Sound familiar?

Barry is a complete failure!

Barry is the greatest president since FDR.
How would the cons on this site rate George W. Bush’s performance as president.

Come on you cons, how was Georgie Boy as a president?

30-40 years from now he will probably go down as an average to slightly below average president. History will treat him kinder than what most people originally thought. Having Obama as his successor will probably hide more of Bush’s flaws. The Obama administration is being viewed as a poor presidency by objective people on both sides of the aisle. His tactics of sneaking things through congress will not resonate well through the course of time.

Fringe Birthers? I think we’re all becoming interested in Obimbo’s real background, or lack of!

MichelleF said:

You have been cheering for him to fail for a couple years now Michelle. And now you declare him a failure? As the president, Obama’s “success or failure”, directly relates to the well being of our country. When you cheer against the President and then declare him a failure, you do so against our nation.

In 1965, Obama Sr. published a paper entitled “Problems Facing Our Socialism” in the East Africa Journal, harshly criticising the blueprint for national planning, “African Socialism and Its Applicability to Planning in Kenya”, which had been produced by Tom Mboya’s Ministry of Economic Planning and Development. The article was signed “Barak H. Obama.”[34] Quoting from the article — “Is it the African who owns this country? If he does, then why should he not control the economic means of growth in this country?”; “We need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now.” and saying “The senior Obama proposed that the state confiscate private land and raise taxes with no upper limit. In fact, he insisted that ‘theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed.’” –, commentator Dinesh D’Souza wrote in 2010 that the junior Obama “never mentioned the article [but] the anticolonial ideology of Barack Obama Sr. is espoused by his son.”[35]

I just read through these comments, and noticed that the thumbs up/down thing is really out of whack. Kind of funny when the left is reduced to flooding comment sections with thumbs down votes! :)

That argument might be one of the more played out ones out there. If he was able to administer all of the changes that he wanted to this country would not be better off. His “failure” of applying his drastic policy is not something that will hurt the country.

The only place your argument would fit is if he was a complete failure on the foreign front ie: Our national security is significantly compromised.

I’ve been cheering for his policies to fail, because they are bad for the country. Sorry to inform you that a majority of American’s agree with me.

The fact is, those that oppose Obama share their disdain with Osama Bin Laden, and the various Ayatollahs. We allow free speech in this country, of course, but sharing the political view point of terrorists is just sick.

That is incorrect. That is an assumption you have made on your own and now are trying to pass it off as fact. Disliking the President’s philsophies and direction of his administration is not hand in hand with hating him like you would a Bin Laden or other terrorist. Two completely separate entities that you have seen to put together in order to promote your point. I believe you are off base.

The manner in which the populace voices its opinion is at the polls. Obama won with a much bigger mandate than, for example, Bush. You cheer for Obama’s policies to fail to justify your disdain for him. Some people akso hope for the meltdown of the government to justify their religion, too. But neither are true patriotism which requires allegience first to the Constitution.

That guy from Iran, the unshaven one, he shares your view of Obama, and he likewise blames the U.S. Federal Government for his problems and seeks its demise.

All a voter had to do, prior to the presidential election, was go to Obimbo’s web-site and read his socialist views of how he wanted to change America. It was that simple! The younger voters got caught up in the slogan infested high-school rally nonsense, and all 47% of bottom-feeding parasites who are living off of the 53% of wage earners taxes could here was, “we’re getting more free stuff”!
We’re about “freed-out” folks!! November looms large, it’s time to clean house. And, it’s time to change our tax-system. Everyone should be paying their “fair-share!

Val, we get it, you hate mormons. Do you have to bring it into every thread!? It’s funny that you choose to look at the election results and not the polls since then. Keep those rose-colored glasses on, it will help you make it through the next couple years!!

and ps, My disdain is not for Obama as a person (no matter how many times you libs say it), it’s for his policies. I’d feel the same way no matter who it was, if they governed the same way he is.

Val says:

And during the Bush years, if you listened to a Bin Laden video, you couldn’t tell the difference between him and a lot of the dem policies. What exactly is your point?

The problem with your argument is that he would have that same disdain for our President no matter what party or beliefs he had. They hate all Americans, it doesn’t matter who. Like I said the rationale for your argument is extremely flawed. It is also extremely easy to see through.

Should I make the same argument about Chavez, Kim Jong Il, Hussein, Putin, and Castro hating Bush and that hating bush makes you like minded to those people? See it looks just as stupid from the other side.

You might have something there, though I voted for Bush, twice, and unlike most people on both sides, I like him, and respect his administration. However, when you drive a car you do not always turn the wheel in the same direction. Otherwise, you find the dtich.

Hatred of Mormons? You guys really have a chip on your shoulder. I suppose I should take into account your long suffering as a mostly persecuted religious minority. Here is the problem with being persecuted by government bodies, your resentment over that may lead to believing that the destruction of the heathen government bodies is the imminent wrath of God, that destruction is its destiny. Isn’t that what the Mormons teach? So it is like you are cheering against the government because your religion teaches that the government must melt down, before Christ’s imminent return, etc.? Its different than that?

Ahhh Capitalism, amazing what it can do with a simple flash of celebrity. Just look at the many outstanding families notoriety has helped flourish, Osbornes, Kardashians, and of course the Palins. I guess the next generation will be voting for the Snookys of the world. And to think people hate the most well educated President we have seen in quite some time because of the color of his skin and their own ineptitude.

If that isn’t an indicator of how far down the toilet this country has gone and reading some of these blog I realize the ineptitude attitude and brain power is so totally lacking. Bunch of baboon grandstanding about nothing!!!!! I guess people have very empty life and nothing else to do but put people and president down as it make them feel superior. OMG LOL

I don’t, I am a Bush fan. And I think that Republicans should be cutting Obama as much slack as they cut Bush.

Tony Blair is being honored in Philadelphia on channel 6 (right now) and I find it interesting that our President is not attending; however, he always keep Clinton in the wings in case of important issues like this. I wonder if Clinton will hand Tony a few DVD;S. Is there anything else more uncomplimentary that Obama can think of. Oh, well, there was that little unamerican incident where he did not appear at the 5 yr. Boy Scouts of America Rally but..well, that really doesn’t matter, he’s only the President of the United States. (What were we thinking?)

You think that people dont like Obama because he is black? Talk about using the lowest common denominator to explain something, how sad.
