Obama is an immature *****

Post by _richardMdBorn »

Obama today took a gratuitous slap at Nancy Reagan.

President-elect Obama at his first press conference, answering a question about whether he had spoken to any previous president:

In terms of speaking to former presidents, I have spoken to all of them, uh, that are, uh, living ... obviously, uh, President Clinton, uh ... [laughter] ... hey, I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan, uh, thing about doin’ any seances...


A cheap shot at Nancy Reagan, who is currently recovering from a fall in which she broke her hip. Classy.

Yes, let's start attacking an 87 year widow who stood by her husband as he died slowly over a decade from Alzheimer's disease. I'm sure that the Obama fans will say that it was a joke gone bad, but it's clearly the comment of an immature jerk. And it's inaccurate; Nancy was a follower of astrology. Hillary spoke of talking to Eleanor Roosevelt but I suspect that she meant it figuratively.

Postscript - he called Nancy Reagan to apologize - but he's a classless jerk. The real Obama is coming out. And by the way, there is NO office of the president elect.

Yeah, that was quite a shot. It's not surprising that his hatred and resentment for Nancy Reagan seeped out of his carefully manicured persona. It's hard to contain such contempt for very long.

I'm sure he meant to say that he "would have talked with President Reagan, but Mrs. Reagan's spiritual gifts for communication don't work in HELL." Because you know that's what he was thinking. You can just tell.

I'm guessing that when they get their puppy, he'll joke that they named the puppy "Franklin", but they named the poop "Nancy". Because really, that's just the kind of guy he is.

Oh please. Yeah, and I heard the guy slaps sleeping kittens, too, and trips toddlers when they walk by.

Anyone who gives any creedence to seances is ridiculous and is fully deserving of ridicule. Nancy Reagan is ridiculous.

Oh please, Rush Limbaugh. Hardly immature at all. It was a remark made off the cuff, as an attempt at humor, referencing her interest in astrology. It was certainly not intended to be a cheap shot at the woman, which is why he was so quick to apologize to her privately.

You gotta be kidding me! That's the best you got?

You think Bush has class? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeJmmQ5y9eQ
Cheney?

Obama teases someone about seances ( yes it is funny!) and on the other hand
silver spoon in mouth G. W. Bush brings us


100,000 Iraqi civilians dead and myriads of children with lost limbs and lost parents
thousands of dead Americans
Public manipulation (9/11-Saddam Hussein verbal juxtapositions)
lies to the public (about WMDs),
illegal wire tapping,
torture
more lying (http://liesofbush.com/)
contempt for the public and general assholishness (gives camera finger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeJmmQ5y9eQ)
trillion dollar war cost and staggering deficit
good old boy corporate network reaching across the sea to oil barrons in Saudi Arabia.


It is bad enough that many (but not me) including a Nuremberg chief prosecutor think that Bush could be prosecuted for war crimes

A Nuremberg chief prosecutor says there is a case for trying Bush for the 'supreme crime against humanity, an illegal war of aggression against a sovereign nation.'

Has anyone noticed that the admin he's forming is a hell of a lot like Bush's so far?

He's starting to seem like Bush II, like he was oh-so-happy to label McCain.
