Obama Offends - And Doesn't Seem To Know It

Here you got it, Austin Hill says what we all have known for a long time

[TLEIBY308]

The whole democrat leader ship offends the hell out of me.

[hflynn]

In the end, the President is left appearing as though he understands very little about the country he serves
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your Obama can do for you - ask what you can do for your Obama.

[Uncle Ike]

” but we do not bow to any one individual or “leader.” “

A point lost on most, if not all, denizens of Washington, DC.....

[CharacterCounts]

I doubt there is any speech Obama can give to turn things around. People are on to him like the snake oil salesman he is. Another speech about the wonders of his elixir will no help.

His next step is to throw Pelosi and Reid under the bus on this to try to save his own face.

[THX 1138]

Well, that's the way it is when it's all about you...

[Joe Boucher]

This king has no clothes.

Marxist punk.

[Scanian]

That’s because he doesn’t know America!

Regardless of where you think he was born, we know how and where he was raised. And he shares few of the values that most Americans hold dear.

[Joe Boucher]

If so, that could be a bad thing as these two, Pelosi and reid are about as bad as I’ve seen.

[thethirddegree]

The king also has no birth certificate.

[varon]

Well, for one, he’ll be delivering a primetime, televised address next week, to Congress, and to the nation, about his nationalized healthcare plans.

It seems the man has been doing nothing but giving speeches, here and abroad, and vacationing with very little governing sprinkled in between. That probably explains why his business card reads, 'Have Teleprompter - Will Travel'.

[SE Mom]

About 18 months ago there was a fascinating piece (memory fails where I read it) about the marketing of Obama by Axelrod. Basically- it all came down to selling and hyping the brand, Obama. It’s hard to think of a greater con job perpetrated on the country...but it was nonetheless brilliant and effective.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I didn’t trust him the first time I saw him and I’ll never trust him in the future.

[ClearCase_guy]

Exactly. Culturally, he is not American.

I can’t quite decide.

Is Obama So Self Centered that he just doesn’t know how the American people feel? We have been trying to communicate.

Or is he so arrogant that he doesn’t care and that is why he keeps up the demonization of anyone that expresses a difference of opinion?

Surely any Rational person would have realized by now that calling the American People Terrorists would not be an effective strategy to Sway them to your point of view.

Seems sort of Counter Productive to me.

In the end, the President is left appearing as though he understands very little about the country he serves.

Important observation, but not a surprise. I have visited an Islamic country, but it was never my home and I never identified with the country or its people. How could I understand that country? obama is in a shockingly parallel situation.

[Northern Yankee]

He’s got the Algore Syndrome. The more he talks the more people despise him.

[Northern Yankee]

Those of us who know, respect, and care about the unique history of this country, understand what makes America unique. In no small part, we are distinct within the broader context of world history, because there are no kings or queens in the United States; our President is one of us, chosen by us, and entrusted with authority for a limited period of time. We pledge allegiance to “our flag,” and we are united by a set of important principles, but we do not bow to any one individual or “leader.”

Bingo!

[arthurus]

” but we do not bow to any one individual or “leader.” “

But our leader bows to the keeper of the holy places in Mecca.
