"Why don't you ask your buddies to speak louder so I don't have to repeat it?" -- Obama
Fox News | 7/23/08

Posted on 07/23/2008 7:55:58 AM PDT by pabianice

Obama is speaking in Israel at the moment. As in previous addresses, he was careful to supply no microphones to the sea of reporters panting and drooling after him so he can control the answer in the absense of an audible question.

One reporter asked a question -- no one could hear because no microphone -- and then some reporter broke with the Obama Rules and asked Obama to repeat it because no one else could hear it. Obama's response was to angrily flare back that "Why don't you ask your buddies to speak louder so I don't have to repeat it?"

Folks, Obama is a spoiled brat who is on his way to becoming President.

As other questions are being asked, he is giving incoherent, rambling, content-free answers, which the adoring press dutifully laps up. Not one "reporter" is following-up to his meandering non-answers. They are gutless synchophants. Pure amateurs.

On Iran getting nuclear weapons: 'It would be a bad thing because... ah... nuclear materials might fdall into the hands of terrorists ... ah... it is the single greatest threat to the Middle East... ah... that might further destabilize the peace process... ah... would I meet with leaders without preconditions?... ah... ah... but I think that what I said in response would... ah... that at my time and chosing, I would be ready to meet with any ;eader if it would... ah ... benefir the U.S....ah... what I also said...ah... there is a difference bewtween meeting without conditions and meeting without preparation... ah ... what I said was... ah... what I said was not meeting with the Iranians without proper preparations...ah... what I mean by direct diplomacy...ah...if we show ourselves willing to talk and offer carrots and sticks...ah... and...ah... and if we show willingness to talk...ah... it would help rachet up... if Iran refuses to talk...ah... to rachet up pressure on Iran and show to the international community...ah...that we will not endorse a nuclear arms race in the Middle East...ah...'

Freaking unbelievable.

Hussein the messiah on his mid-east trip this july:

“Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s...”

and

“It’s always a bad practice to say ‘always’ or ‘never,’”

Could the Messiah be a little hard of hearing? Apparently he can’t take 3-way questions like our President can and most every other politician can and does. O-bama ain’t up to the task folks.............

They might be sychophants right now, but I have a feeling he is going to get bolder and stupider until he finally steps over their ridiculously faint line. I hope and pray it’s before to the election.

When confronted with a flip flop he always says "I have said before and I have consistantly said in the past uh uh blah blah blah".

He cant halp himself from talking in the present tense as if hes already president!

“Folks, Obama is a spoiled brat who is on his way to becoming President.”

I beg to differ. NObama has a snowball’s chance in Hades come election day.

I am a bit concerned that the HillBillys will pull off a last minute reversal of fortune and snag the nomination - perhaps the birth certificate issue? A last minute switch to a Clinton candidacy would be tough to counter in time.

Actually in a marriage, this is probably the most useful little line to keep civility between husband and wife, sister and brother, etc. at least I have found it so. O-bama (as in Alabama) is leaving a lot on the table now….heeheeheeeheeeeeee

He was bragging about the bill presented by the Banking Committee and passed, claiming that was “my committee.” Why is he not listed as a member of this committee on the Senate website?

As much as I hated Hillary - and I despise the woman and her husband - I’d rather see her in the Oval office than Obama.

Whoa...

All public speaking training teaches you to repeat the question asked. Not so everyone can hear it, but to demonstrate it was heard and understood.

This outburst shows a level of ignorance and hubris we can’t afford to have in a President.

The only reason I don't relish in the deliciousness of that thought yet is because I still fear that she is going to come out of the convention as the official candidate.

Heard Charlie Gibson last night refer to "Barak Obama's UNPRECEDENTED Middle East trip". Huh? 'Unprecedented?' He's a rookie senator, not the first presumed presidential nominee to visit the Middle East, and I doubt he's the first 'chocolate' person to visit ...... what the heck is 'unprecedented'? Disgusting, fawning DBM.
