What, question my abilities? How dare you? Why, I can explain everything – LOOK! OVER THERE! REPUBLICANS!!!!!

Good grief.

This is like Obama’s Town Hall Meeting, where a disgruntled Obama supporter asked a tougher question of the President than any reporter in the mainstream media has done since the community organizer got into the Oval Office. Now he gets more push back from his own base. And if you think the in-fighting among Democrats is bad now, just wait until after the election results come in. Twelve months from now, the question of the day will be whether Obama can even get the nomination to run for re-election. That’s what happens when you spend so much borrowed money with nothing to show for it except more unemployment, a falling dollar, a stagnant economy and rising government debt.

Blame everything on Bush.

Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP
President Bush stands alongside Annette Lantos, the widow of recently deceased Rep. Tom Lantos, a Democrat of California. The president signed anti-AIDS and infectious disease legislation today that was named for Mr. Lantos.

The five-year, $48 billion plan renews a program credited with saving millions of lives in Africa alone and is widely seen as one of the major achievements of the Bush presidency.

Mr. Bush said the program, launched by him in 2003, “is the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease in human history.”
http://www.nysun.com/national/bush-signs-bill-to-triple-aids-funding/82912/

(CNSNews.com) – The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex.

hai, can i place blame too?

HOLY COW!!!!
He can actually stop and say something NOT written on the teleprompter!? Kudos, Mr. Obama! You can think for yourself!

I have to ask an honest question here. I don’t mean this sarcastically. I’m really looking for someone to educate me.

But my perception, right or wrong, is that we’ve done a really good job dealing with AIDS. No? It seems like 20-25 years ago when I was in college the perception was that AIDS was incurable, a certain death sentence, and what going to kill more people than the Black Plague. I know we don’t have a cure, but we certainly have treatments that can people who are HIV+ alive for a very long time. Look at Magic Johnson. When he announced he was HIV+ everybody assumed he dead in a year. Instead, he’s still alive today. Haven’t we done a really, really good job of dealing with the disease?

If I’m wrong, please educate me. What aren’t we doing that we should be doing? I’m open to persuasion here.

Reminds me of that scene from Caddyshack.

“You’ll get nothing, and like it!”

Huh? I seem to remember Bush did more for aids funding then obama has ever thought of…..the protesters were right.

Don’t ever attack Teleprompter Jesus with the facts, he hates that…

Skins a might thin on “Teh One”….

Wow. You guys hate Obama so much you can’t even watch him breathe without start foaming at the mouth. Turn off your radio. Stop watching Fox News. Get a life. Go outside.

I got My America back when this man became President !!!!!

Let me be frank and I’m sure I’ll be called a homophobe , the gay community needs to be held responsible and educate and shape up. Period .

AIDS is a virus, care to guess how many viruses have been cured? think about the common cold virus or flu. It cannot be cured just treated with vaccines. what more can be done? The answer has been known for years; don’t but you penis in another mans anus unprotected and don’t let it happen to you. monogamy and safe sex is the way to not get aids. I am not preaching just stating the facts.

The gay activists are simply spurned lovers who wanted more “meat” in the research program then Pres Obama could deliver.

Achtung! The NEW POLITICAL ORDER IS HERE!

Anyone who criticizes TheOne, our beloved Messiah, OR ANY OF HIS ACTIONS, DECREES, POLICIES OR PALS will be condemned. They will be ostracized from society, they will be labeled a threat to national security, they will be called “unpatriotic”, “un-American”, “a terrorist”,”destructive” and “a racist”, they will have to actually pay taxes (unlike lunatic-left socialist tax-cheats rangel, geithner, caroline “you know” kennedy, olbermann, daschle, killifer, solis, kirk, sebelius and millions of others) and they will be vilified until they succumb to the ONLY ACCEPTABLE POLITICAL VIEW – that of the lunatic-left socialists.

All hail TheOne! Resistance is futile.

Let me make sure I heard that sound bite correctly:

“…and if they win in Congress they will cut AIDS funding right here in the United States of America, and all across… the world.”

Wow! The whole world?

Can they really wield that kind of power?

You can almost hear him catch himself in the middle of it, KNOW that doesn’t make sense, but he went ahead and finished the thought anyway.

And to their credit, NBC played the whole comment – I guess capturing the applause was more important than editing the thought to make more sense.

Everytime Obama is called out to explain his policies he resorts to his standard line, but what about the republicans, they are much worse. Does this idiot ever take responsibility for anything? 2012 cannot come fast enough to get this con man out of the WH.

A Different Slant on Obama

One 82-year-old lady loves Obama and she may have a very good point. She says that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream! She gives us an entirely new slant on the “amazing” job Obama is doing, and she says that she will thank God for the President. Keep reading for her additional comments and an explanation.

When discussing Obama, she says:

1. Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary’s presidential aspirations – something no Republican was ever able to do.

2. Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty – no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home.

3. Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid – soon to be GONE! These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed. By the end of 2010, dozens more will be gone. Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats.
The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. However, in just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the House – if not the Senate – back to the Republicans.

4. Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well:

Liberals tax, borrow and spend.

Liberals won’t bring themselves to protect America.

Liberals want to take over the economy.

Liberals think they know what is best for everyone.

Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.

5. Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans.
Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!

6. Obama, with his “amazing leadership,” has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a “stimulus” to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore.

7. In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was going. I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been flat wrong.

8. When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans!

Again, I want to say: “Thank you, Barack Obama!” After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!!

November 2nd is HUGE!!!!

Please encourage others to Vote………….forward this onward, if you like.

I sensing Ted- to be a mad individual.

No wonder Michelle wants no more of this ‘First Lady’ thing and why Obama doesn’t want any more of his ‘First Lady’ thing either: Obama is seen either as disappointingly conservative or disappointingly Liberal. You cannot define this any other way than as an ‘EPIC FAIL.’

Not Your Typical New Yorker said:

Are you kidding? According to Bushes regime anyone against them was UnAmerican and they could care less about the gay community. I think your the Bizzaro for wanting it back.Whats the matter NYTNY does it scare you so much to have a blackman in a high position who does good for everyone instead of just a few.Dick Cheney couldn’t even be for Gays and his Own daughter is one.

Bush did more for Aids than anyone….so in this case, Obama was making a mistake when he said to look to Republican leadership because Bush really did lead on this issue.

Obama is a MAN-CHILD. Rush was right.

What a big baby – no wonder he uses such intelligent terms like “wee-weed up”.

Man up Mr. Obama.

(I hope I didn’t offend Tommy)

I betcha the Kenyan Kommie seems to have forgotten that President GW Bush more for AIDS than Bill Clinton ever did. The President’s (GW Bush) Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Pepfar)] is the largest commitment ever made by any nation for a global health activity that’s dedicated to a single disease.

“I salute President Bush for his leadership in crafting a plan for AIDS relief in Africa and backing it up with funding dedicated to saving lives and preventing the spread of the disease,” Obama said in taped remarks to the Saddleback Civil Forum on Global Health.

Bush was well known for his funding of AIDS-related projects, including and especially in Africa. in fact, Bush did more for Africa than any other president in recent years, including Obama.

Democrats Retrench as GOP Pulls Away

Democratic strategists acknowledged they are abandoning a dozen House seats the party now holds, as they try to salvage their majority in the chamber by shoring up candidates with better chances.

With Republicans expanding their advertising to broaden the field of competitive races, Democrats are shifting resources to help such senior lawmakers as House Budget Committee Chairman John Spratt (D., S.C.), and to head off Republicans in usually safe Massachusetts, where a southeast district that includes Cape Cod is competitive for the first time in decades.

The emerging battlefield, two weeks before Election Day, is almost entirely in districts now held by Democrats. It includes about 40 districts where both the Republican and Democratic House campaign arms are running television ads or have reserved TV time…

‘It’s an agenda that turned a record surplus into a record deficit. An agenda that let Wall Street run wild at the expense of folks on Main Street. An agenda that nearly destroyed our economy.’

Listening to this opening of the clip, I thought Obama was describing his own agenda.

michiganruth said:

I’m glad he and his cronies did well for Africa because they destroyed America.

Well except for the rich and giant companies that is,for them he made a record surplus.

As mentioned by someone earlier, you characters really hate Obama. I think when you saw that Mediaite had posted a story with “Obama” in the title you called all your friends and told them to get on-line and put thumbs down. How else explain the very sharp drop off of negatives after an hour or so. Given what he walked into Obama has done a pretty good job and seems intent getting better. You don’t have to agree with anything he’s done, but the hatred you express is way out of proportion. It’s like hating Obama is the answer to all your problems. I didn’t hate Bush, who was obviously doing some stupid and immoral things like invading Iraq and trying to dismantle Social Security. I, along with much of the country just wanted him out and out he ignominiously went. Remember his 22% approval score. Also, it’s obvious that the Teapublicans have nothing intelligible to say about what they would do to get the economy going. It’s the same old, same old that really got us into the mess in the first place. Without government intervention we’d be in even worse shape. While the Democrats are going to lose seats, I don’t think there’s going to be a bloodbath in November. People are sobering up and the demographics are working against the Teapublicans. What I’d like to see is a genuine Populist movement that is not financed and promoted by the Koch Brothers, Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh and Richard Mellon Scaife. I’d join in a heartbeat and so would a lot of other people.

‘Take a look at what the Republican leadership has to say about AIDS funding, because you sure as hell don’t have any Democrat leadership!’ Good one, Obama. That ought to shut them up.

We’ve done a great job on AIDS research, and today effective HIV/AIDS treatments are more affordable than ever, but the truth is that while HIV/AIDS has in the US became a chronic, manageable disease, in sub-saharan Africa, Haiti, and other places with a high burden of HIV/AIDS, it continues to be a death sentence. This article is mistaken in that it says the activists were criticizing Obama for his lack of spending on AIDS research — this is incorrect, they were protesting the fact that he has broken his promise to spend $50 on AIDS treatment and prevention programs over 5 years — in the last year he only asked for $6.9 billion in his budget — as well as his promise to increase this spending by $1 billion per year — the increases have been $0.1 and $0.2 in the last two years.

I was at the rally and am interested in this issue which is why I feel confident writing this.

listen im a leftist, but i’m no paperboy for the dems. They fuckin piss me off, but just not as much as rethuglicans

My Lord, I just watched the cut of Obama’s talk in Boston (I hadn’t when I wrote my comment a short while ago), and I had the impression from the usual, teasingly provocative Mediaite article that Obama had been seriously heckled, but what I saw was a rip-roaring speech that met with very enthusiastic support. Yes, as Obama said one of the strengths and also weaknesses of Liberal/progressive types is that they occasionally argue and politely disagree. The truth about support for AIDS victims is that it has come mostly from the left while many on the right starting with Saint Reagan, didn’t take AIDS seriously and some of the more rabid right were shouting that it was God’s punishment for being homosexual. Yes, under pressure and trying to burnish his fading image, Bush did put money up to help AIDS victims, and it was one of Bush’s better moments. From the comments on this blog I get the impression that many of the rightwing, ‘conservative’ commentators on Mediaite are hysteric types and as we get closer to the election I hope you will try to stay calm. Whatever happens, you’re stil going to have to deal with Obama for two more years.

The head of the Global AIDS Alliance has sharply criticized President Obama, saying Mr. Obama has failed to meet his funding promises for HIV/AIDS.

Paul Zeitz says President Obama is not nearly as involved in the issue as his predecessors George Bush or Bill Clinton.

Zeitz says, “Unfortunately, the Obama administration has not kept its word in terms of the AIDS response, globally, and particularly in Africa. President Obama made commitments during the [presidential] campaign to increase spending on global AIDS that he has not matched with his action.”

ha ha if obama was more involved with issues with Africa, particularly AIDS, you righties would be screaming from the rooftops. HES NOT COMMITED TO AMERICAS PROBLEMS, REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH TO HIS HOMELAND, CLASS WAR FARE, WHAT ABOUT AMERICANS, etc etc oh yea thats a recurring theme, well that would be the basis for your redundant rhetoric on wed nights and fri mornings

writer said:
saying Mr. Obama has failed to meet his funding promises

Was the promise made before or after the economy collapsed holy writer? It does make a difference.

You are correct in everything you say. I have a friend who has been HIV for over 20 years and is still doing well. I will mention however, that he is very well off and can afford the best medical care. I am not sure how much that has to do with it.

Obama could cure AIDS, Cancer and mental illness (which many who post on here need) and he would still be “that community organizator that is not qualified to be president. It doesn’t matter what he does he will be that nasty liberal.

Somebody must have wrote “look all pissed off and get arrogant” on Obama’s idiot boards.

Also I just love that lengthy last paragraph of excuses for Obama snapping out. You forgot to include that they ran out of coconut ice cream at Obama’s favorite ice cream shop.

I thought Obama was suposed to be campaigning for his Milli Vanilli dance partner Cadillac Deval Patrick? instead all it was, was yet another caustic, vitriolic Obama attack on most of America.

Obama is as rotten as Rahm’s going away gift from the WH staff.

Obama said this in Massachusetts while not doing a bit of good for fellow communist Deval Patrick: “They figured they could ride people’s anger and frustration all the way to the ballot box.”

Hey, Obama: How do you think YOU got to the White House? What a dim bulb. People keep saying how ‘bright’ this cigarette-smoker is, but there’s no evidence of that anywhere.

Kinda like how the Liberal media all would have their talking points (‘Gravitas’) all synchronized in a ballet of ‘Thumbs Down’ hate against Bush for eight years. Limp-wristed Libs just don’t like it when this stuff is directed AT them rather than BY them.

Plain speeking? Is that a euphemism for hillbilly, dumbass? While she’s whoring herself in a state where 2/3 of the people find her repulsive she couldn’t even get the 2 candidates to appear with her. I really loved what Maher had to say about her daughter Brisket last night. That whole “Gropey Changy Thing”. Grinding her dumpy, fat ass and thick thighs across the state for coin is really befitting people of their ilk. Run Sarah run. Obama will crush your stupid ass again. She’s still obsessed with him. I would be to if I was married to Mr. Mom. Be sure to wax those floors Todd. Everyone has to put out for their supper in that family.

Aren’t you always saying the economy was terrible under Bush? And he still found more money for AIDS research. If Obama knew the economy was that bad, why’d he make the promise?

just a heads up for those who don’t know or weren’t alive but Reagen blamed Carter for 2 years after he got in office. Not sure why Obama blaming Bush is somehow original or crazy.

“Aren’t you always saying the economy was terrible under Bush?”

uh…the economy was terrible under bush. deficit almost double in 8 years. how is that a good thing? anyone? avg. GDP for bush’s 8 years was about 1.8 which is beyond avg. to bad.

It sure would be nice if you could provide quotes with references. I mean, if he did that “for 2 years”, there should be several quotes.

Do you think you could provide references and also the numbers of the Bush deficit relative to the numbers for Obama’s deficits? I believe the CBO would be a good source. Of course, I’ll understand if you don’t feel comfortable doing that.

Geoff, Fox News asked if Obama made the promise to raise AIDS funding before or after the economy collapsed. Since Obama knew the economy was in bad shape before taking office, why’d he make the promise anyway? To help him get elected, perhaps?

Because their hypocrites who are oblivious to history. Like how they attacked obama for using a telepromter like this idiot.

Melissa Brown said:
HOLY COW!!!!He can actually stop and say something NOT written on the teleprompter!? Kudos, Mr. Obama! You can think for yourself!

Good, cause it seems that you both can’t AND don’t think for youself. but Obama did when he handed the GOP their asses on debate without using one for over an hour. but their god reagan is SO completely dependent on one, he uses it more than obama does.

Exactly. The economy was already tanking. So Obama was either unaware of it, or was making a promise he knew he couldn’t keep.

Obama said this in Massachusetts while not doing a bit of good for fellow communist Deval Patrick: “They figured they could ride people’s anger and frustration all the way to the ballot box.” Hey, Obama: How do you think YOU got to the White House? What a dim bulb. People keep saying how ‘bright’ this cigarette-smoker is, but there’s no evidence of that anywhere.

But there’s evidence to how smart his beer drinking predesecor was, right?
how about how smart the lovley mama grizzley is? the one who won lie of the year 2009? the one who 22% percent of Americans see favorable?

Overall, U.S. health advocates were extremely disappointed by the health provisions in the president’s 2010 budget, unveiled yesterday. “Our analysis of the information provided by the White House today show that the president’s FY10 global health budget essentially flat-lines support for global health and ignores the president’s campaign promises to fully fund PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) and to provide a fair-share contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB [tuberculosis], and Malaria,” said Paul Zeitz, executive director of the Global AIDS Alliance. “This proposal is even worse than we had feared,” added Christine Lubinski, director of the Center for Global Health Policy. “With this spending request, Obama has broken his campaign promise to provide 1 billion dollars a year in new money for global AIDS, and he has overlooked the growing threat of tuberculosis.” The humanitarian news Inter Press Service reports.

Don’t blame Obama for not having the money. But wasn’t he aware he wouldn’t have it? So why’d he promise?

It wouldnt matter how much was given to aids research or any other research group it is never enough when talking to the other side. Even when/if we ever find a cure for this horrible virus people will still be complaining about something. Look at all the hundreds of millions of dollars we send every year over seas to fund aids research in third world countries, even to ones that hate us, it is never enough depending on who you ask. I got an idea. How about we cut out all the aide we send to all these other countries, where most if not all gets kept by govt officials or warlords (one in the same in most of these countries) and spend it here in America? Just imagine what we could fix here with all that extra money.

“The Republicans are worse!”

how is that even an acceptable response? Are you kidding? *I suck, but the Republicans suck worse!*

The hecklers are, rightly so, holding him accountable because he is the one in charge. It is about HIS inactions/actions not hypotheticals, and not about pointing fingers. People voted for him because of the promises he made (BS he sold them) and they want to hold him accountable – and are upset with HIM.

This was absolutely childish and such a bad move on his part. Not only did people vote for him over Republicans, but they voted for him over Hillary Clinton. They have every right to hold his feet to the fire, and his response was terrible.

When was it that the economy started falling apart? Wasn’t it when the dems took control in 06? Wasn’t hehimself part of that congress? And yet, he and his media sycophants blame Bush for everything.

We have an intentionally ignorant media in this country who refuse to reason and present facts on anything. They simply mimic the DNC talking points. It is just what they have become; they are slowly losing any influence….the complete loss of that can’t come soon enough for me.

The citizenry is not as ignorant as the elitists reading the DNC talking points on air every night. ABCCBSNBCMSNBCCNNNYTIMESETC show their ignorance on a daily basis.

The President appeared uncharacteristically upset

Hello and welcome to October 2010.

This incident is an example of what I think is the biggest problem the president has in terms of public perception — he simply will not take responsibility for anything. Whether that perception is right or wrong (I think some of both at various times), each time this happens, it lessens him in the eyes of many.

I think the best thing he can do is to take responsibility when he clearly should and to state his plans for doing a better job. This constant “not my fault — previous administration, current republicans” blame game has run its course.

Of course, he is right that blame for some things lies with previous leadership or current opposition, but he needs to talk about what he plans to do or is doing to overcome those obstacles — that is his job as the leader of our country.

There’s nothing new about a president inheriting messes from previous administration or facing opposition from political adversaries. It’s how/whether you can be effective in rising above it and making positive changes for the country that matters.

Whining and blaming is obviously not working. It leaves a lot of people feeling that he is weak and can’t overcome those obstacles and, therefore, can’t be effective. I really think he needs to get away from that mindset — it’s gonna hurt not only the candidates he supports, but his own chances for re-election.

Obama shut them up :)

Nothing unusual about his answer. He is not willing to take blame for anything, it is always someone else’s fault. I wonder who will take the blame for the Dems. losing so many seats on Nov. 2, 2010? Never will he take blame for anything because he thinks NO one could be right, except HIM! He gives a new meaning to the word Arrogance.

I didn’t vote for Obama simply because he was too inexperienced. How could anyone vote for McCain and Palin???? But, Please stop blaming Obama for all our problems they started a long time ago with Nafta and Globalization and both the Democrats and Republicans are respo nsible for that. Aids has had more money thrown at it than any other disease. It’s time people became more sexually responsible by using safe sex practices and drug addicts use clean needles. This is a disease that can be stopped with responsible behavior and everyone knows what that is. We can’t give anymore money to aids research….since it’s not the only or most pressing problem we have today. you probably know that we have so many problems as a country that no one know where to start first…

If politicians worried less about getting re-elected and more about solving our problems just think how much better off we’d be…..Being in government must be a pretty great gig cause they all want to get back in to feed at the public trough.

Excuse me, but how can America cut AIDS funding “all around the world?” We have absolutely no control over that. That is, unless, 0bama is revealing his global governance objectives.

We’ve done a great job on AIDS research, and today effective HIV/AIDS treatments are more affordable than ever, but the truth is that while HIV/AIDS has in the US became a chronic, manageable disease, in sub-saharan Africa, Haiti, and other places with a high burden of HIV/AIDS, it continues to be a death sentence.

Which more or less proves that simply throwing money at a problem ($12 billion US taxpayer dollars) without having control of how the money is spent (or stolen, in the case of Africa) almost never solves the problem.

The gay activists are simply spurned lovers who wanted more “meat” in the research program then Pres Obama could deliver.

You’re disgusting. Now STFU

Everybody loves to play the blame game when the only one you should blaming is yourselves. You all sit on your well-fed American loving, gawd fearing asses and bitch about the state we’re in. Wake up sheeple

Tracy Starrett says

Huh? I seem to remember Bush did more for aids funding then obama has ever thought of…..the protesters were right.

Then you don’t seem to remember very well! You have nothing to back that up! Tea baggers just say something goofy then its true? Bush did a little to advance the cause then Obama made great leaps! Why don’t we just say it, if this had been a tea nut rally, the fake christains would have said the protester were liberals! I know the tea party doesn’t deal in facts, but there is a limit.

Plain speeking? Is that a euphemism for hillbilly, dumbass? While she’s whoring herself in a state where 2/3 of the people find her repulsive she couldn’t even get the 2 candidates to appear with her. I really loved what Maher had to say about her daughter Brisket last night. That whole “Gropey Changy Thing”. Grinding her dumpy, fat ass and thick thighs across the state for coin is really befitting people of their ilk. Run Sarah run. Obama will crush your stupid ass again. She’s still obsessed with him. I would be to if I was married to Mr. Mom. Be sure to wax those floors Todd. Everyone has to put out for their supper in that family.

Spoken like a true sack of shit, congratulations.

Who were these activist , the log cabbin republicans. go ahead you idiots dont you know being gay and Rethuglican is an contradiction in terms
