Bill Maher: I’d Bet My Own Money On ‘Multi-Tasking Ninja’ Obama Getting Re-Elected

Video
» 58 comments

Bill Maher was in high spirits last night appearing with Joy Behar to celebrate President Obama’s national security success with Obama and laughing, “this has got to eat at [Republicans] because this is supposed to be what they’re good at.” Maher was so impressed with our President, the “multi-tasking ninja,” that he concluded if Republicans can’t give Obama credit now, then they probably wouldn’t ever be able to do it for anything.

Maher particularly focused on the “faded clown” Donald Trump:

“When I hear Donald Trump say ‘he’s the worst president ever’ – really? You know – got health care passed, stopped a depression from happening, you know the economy, the shape it was in compared to where it is now, finally got this bin Laden monkey off our back. It’s just hatred. They’re just haters.”

One point of clarification though, Trump’s criticism of Obama was made before Bin Laden’s death, and since the capture, Trump wisely demonstrated a different, congratulatory tone towards Obama.

Maher was much funnier though addressing some of the other potential Republican presidential candidates. Suggesting Republicans “can’t rely on Tim Pawlenty’s raw sex appeal forever” and that Michele Bachmann is “for people who find Sarah Palin too intellectual,” Maher made a confident prediction. Maher declared, “if I was betting my own money, I would bet anything on [Obama's] re-election.” If the election were held very soon that certainly seems like a smart bet, but with the election still far away, only time will tell if Obama’s earned goodwill can hold over.

    ‘Multi-Tasking Ninja’ Obama

    These people always give me the biggest chuckle. Just the headlines alone are hilarious.

    Ninja?!

    Do Ninjas nod their heads when Gates, Hillary, and Panetta give a one-option solution to Osama?

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Cue he RNC add shot at a gas station with $5 a gallon gas and Obama saying that under his energy plan, energy prices must necessarily skyrocket and that he preferred a gradual increase in gas. Game, set, match, President West.

    It’s a done deal in 2012 (it was before OBL). But now even semi-serious candidates like Daniels have had their nuts retracted after the Kenyan-in-chief “accomplished the mission”. Good luck to whoever bagger-nation deems worthy of the nomination…. they’ll need it!! OBAMA DROPPED OSAMA…. 2012….”Son”….

    What a dork. Now skoot before your mom sees you have her iPad.

    Can you imagine your job being to watch Joy Behar at night and then report on it? Then Bill Maher is the guest. Hats off to you Mark I will never claim this isn’t a tough job.

  • notsofast

    He is a multi-untalented failure:

    8.8% unemployment
    Record monthly deficits
    Record debt
    Record # of foreclosures
    Record # on welfare
    Record # living in poverty
    Record job losses in 2009
    Record high gas prices

    Just imagine! A cabinet of wanted criminal bikers and gun nut talk show hosts. Czars of hired Blackwater mercenaries – a right wing wet dream! Then Paul Ryan can pass his Heritage Foundation death panel bill and we can finally wipe out the old and infirm! The right wing Ayn Rand future of death to the weak and ill is closer than we think!

    No, we are not going to let you destroy our country.

    Make sure you include quotes from the Republican head of the Intelligence committee, Mike Rogers, asking that they not be released so as not to put the troops in harms way.

    In my experience, Republicans tend not to be terribly concerned about the troops, so I doubt this will advance your argument.

    And, West can go about curtailing our free speech rights as he suggested shortly after he was elected.

    These Rightist Reactionaries are really something. Can you believe that they honestly think someone like that can be elected? They really need to get some variety in their news coverage to try to grasp what the vast middle of America is all about.

    It is a tough batltle for the Republicans, The Ministry of Propaganda composed of the MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN works so hard daily to ensure that the American people get all the pertinent facts in an honest fashion.

  • TangledThorns

    I bet money and even donated to Sarah Palin’s PAC expecting her to beat Obama in 2012. Obama letting his lackies kill a hundred Bin Laden’s won’t save him in 2012. It’s the economy stupid!

  • TfT

    So, Maher supports the killing but not the water boarding that led to the killing?

    uh huh, these lefties make so much sense.

    Let’s not release the photos for fear of inflaming the mideast (of course the NYTimes and everyone had a different position when W was president), and let’s not give the US what they want – oh no.

    Scratching my head and laughing my ass off at the liberal looney double standard.

    No offense was taken. It’s a silly, boring, pretentious organization of a mix of truly brilliant and vibrant people and insular, inbred twits.

    This is the same Bill Maher who during the Bush administration swore that they’d captured Bin Laden but were hiding it for political reasons. And, no, he wasn’t kidding. He stone cold serious. Maher=Moron.

    Dream on in your right wing fantasyland but Barack Obama will be reelected. Most Americans have common since. The majority are not right wing nut jobs. The nut jobs hang out here because they would be laughed off a very successful mainstream American blog like the Huffington Post.

    I notice Obama didn’t mention that he “inherited” the information which was obtained in one of those evil secret CIA prisons under Bush. Just saying……….

    Maher is the epitome of just what a bunch of pussies the liberals in America have been reduced to in the 21st century.

    He actually described the sitting president of the United States of America as a ‘Multi-Tasking Ninja’, ….and he was _____ing serious.

    Worse yet his rabid though neutered fans from coast to coast were _____ing serious right along with this a__hole.

    God help America ……

    “Bill Maher: I’d Bet My Own Money On ‘Multi-Tasking Ninja’ Obama Getting Re-Elected”

    After this interview Bill Maher immediately retracked this statement because he remembered that socialists do not spend their own money. They only spend other people’s money.

    Can’t tell them apart. Is it Bill Behar and Joy Maher?

    However you do the math, you get the same results:

    Wrong + Wrong = Wrong
    Wrong * Wrong = Wrong

    Remember when the GOPers claimed the Dems were afraid of Sarah? Given that 58% of the population will never vote for her, how’s that working out for ya GOPers?

    See, from the liberal point of view, this is success. The plan is to tear things down so we’re all “equal”. The problem is we all become equally poor and miserable (except the liberal elites who stay in power.)

    For those who clicked “thumbs down”, think of the inner cities. 50 years of concentrated liberalism and no results.

    The problem is the hopelessness and despair created and fostered by the liberalism is ACCEPTABLE to the liberals. If it wasn’t, we would have heard them screaming DECADES ago.

  • ganymede

    It’s gotten to the point where all you have to do is see where the rightwingers are directing most of their outrage and hate to find out who are the most effective political and comedic personalities. Here’s my list. Starting at the top, of course, is President Obama, Bill Maher, George Soros, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Jon Stewart, the late Edward Kennedy, Michelle Obama, Joseph Biden, Stephen Colbert, Keith Olbermann and all of MSM except for FOX and all liberal and progressive people. Maher can be a bit acerbic and hyperbolic, but when he’s on the money,as he is in this clip, the right deserves what he dishing out, and it’s very funny.

  • JasonMays

    Didn’t Maher once swear up and down that John Edwards would win the Dem primary?

    This shitstick isn’t reliable. Why are his idiotic blatherings covered at all?

    Mediaite, what’s next? I hear Jason Biggs loves Obama too. Even more than he loves apple pie.

    Is the goal of this website to becaome a slightly more political, but equally pointless website than gawker?

    If and when, a financial collapse occurs, this will be come a nation of Lions (to whom I am kin), and hyenas. Throw in, quite a few wild dogs. It will make the Egyptian uprising look like an exercise in water balloon fighting. The military and guard, will be stretched to a point of no return. Civil disobedience will blossom into civil madness. Home and business invasions, will take on a new dimension of violence…and the elite will be the primary targets. Police will be on the run, as gang bangers from every denomination will be ruling the streets. Sacred and not so sacred institutions will fall like dominoes. Thousands of dangerous inmates will override their keepers, and return the injustices they believe they were dealt. Only the Lions, will be able to confront the upheaval, and military sons and daughters will be on the side of the Lions. It will be a time of reckoning for the elite, to say the least. Their cushy world will implode, and I suspect they will suffer the most casualties. The face of socialism will be exposed in all its bloody and confused horror. Tick tock…tick tock.

  • CAconservative

    If you break down Maher’s list of Obimbo achievements and apply that list to the list of problems this country is facing, it’s almost the mirror image of what Maher thinks Obimbo has achieved. The Liberal-sheeple are looking for an issue that supports their “failure in Chief”. They will go so far as to list his failures as honorable wins for Obimbo. America will be voting on Obimbo’s so-called achievements in 2012, and I’d be very surprised to see him win more than a handful of states. This is going to look like another, Carter-Reagan election!
