OBAMA LOST AND SPEECHLESS

This could hamper President Zero's current campaign trip. Somebody drove off with the truck containing the Presidential seal, sound equipment, the podium and teleprompter from a hotel parking lot in Virginia. That means he won't know where to stand or what to say.

You should watch less Fox news. Also, you should get that computer looked at. It seems the caps lock button is broken.

Just for you Walleye, here's the story from NBC/Washington.

$200,000 of audio equipment? Wow.

I am not claiming that the crime didn't happen, but to claim that a President can not talk without audio equipment and use a negative name for that President is just a petty and ignorant dig.

If you don't like his positions on the topics or things he has done in office, go ahead and attack that (and vote!) but to cheer on a crime and make ridiculous claims, now that's just sad.

If the thieves had been given some green jobs maybe they wouldn't have needed to steal the President's sound van. Besides he doesn't need the teleprompter, here's what he'll say.....
pass the bill and teachers will be put back to work, pass the bill and cops will be put back to work, pass the bill and constuction workers will be put back to work, pass the bill and we'll invest in green energy, pass the bill and small business will get a tax break for hiring, pass the bill and I'll get reelected. I didn't know how tough it was going to be, I guess some jobs weren't shovel ready, I have saved, created, or supported millions of jobs. It's Bush's fault, it's Wall Street's fault, it's the rich people's fault. I'm gonna keep workin', strugglin', fightin' and fussin' and if that makes me a class warrior well then I'll wear that badge.

A Republican President wouldn't be any better off than Obama. If we don't get rid of the political extremists on both sides, we're doomed. Congress is locked in a pissing contest and the American people are becoming angrier and more frustrated. The demonstrations will become larger, louder, and longer.

Both parties have failed us miserably, to blame Bush or Obama for the last 50 years of war mongering failure is foolish. That not saying that I think Obama has done a good job.

It could be the first real "green jobs" ever really created by government, they traded that stuff for green backs.

Let's face it, the current occupant of the White House, is in completely over his head, and has no idea how to run the Country. People are also frustrated, because they've figured that out. IMO it's a big factor in the protests.

The R's, only controlled the whole enchilada for two short years from 2000-2002.And, 9/11, consumed all the energy at that time.

Everything else, is the D's fault.Their vote buying is so incredibly Unconstitutional, even V.Putin-commie running dog, is taking notes on how communists can re-take Russia .

But but but BUSH was never in over his head either, am I right?

Oh and har har har herp derp Obama uses a teleprompter herp derp. Every president from Nixon on used one. The only difference is that after trying to deal with eight years of "Bushisms", you Teabaggers have a massive complex when it comes to someone with some sort of actual charisma and an ability to use words with four or more syllables in a speech.

a/c you must turn a deaf ear to the Obama-isms that come out of the presidents mouth. Bush had no patent on butchering syntax.

Have you actually listened to President Obama speak lately, especially when it's off the cuff?

For someone who is supposed to be a great communicator, he has had more than his share of goofs.

You all crack me up. Thank you for that. This is hilarious.

I hate agreeing with AC but Bush was in way over his head and he choose to listen to the wrong voices. Hard to claim you are for small government when you fight wars w/o paying for them and pass the largest entitlement program since The New Deal (medicare part D).

Four syllable words or sentences with four syllables "pass this bill now"

Not to mention the PATRIOT Act, you Republicans seem to forget that vast intrusion into and sacrifice of liberty in the name of "safety" that goes directly against what was the party platform (government out of people's lives).

"... ability to use words with four or more syllables ..."

But is President Obama using one and two syllable words correctly?

Oct 17, 2011 USA Today article where Obama was quoted as saying:

"You got their plan, which is let's have dirtier air, dirtier water, (and) less people with health insurance."

Less people? Did Obama quote the Republican plan, or did he use his own words?

I thought that since "people" is the plural form of "person," and people can be counted, the correct grammar usage should be "fewer people." Correct, AC?

a/c - do you possibly mean the SAME Patriot Act whose provisions President Obama continued willingly?

Do you mean the SAME Patriot Act that had support from BOTH parties?

Do you mean the SAME Patriot Act that was established to help secure a worried nation shortly after thousands of our countrymen were killed in attacks?

History sure makes more sense when you actually weigh what was happening in the world when it occurred rather than Monday morning quarterbacking (10 years later)
