Obama didn’t lie about getting a puppy that’s about it.

And when he says he is ‘closing’ Gitmo he must really mean he will give the naval base to Castro.

Best money I spent in 2009, sending $25 to Joe Wilson after he said "You Lie !!!".

I was proud to help him raise the some $2.5 million he did after the Left went after him.

4.There's an app for that.

Correction: the saying is, "There's a nap for that."

A questionable source at best.

From Politico:

“What had happened? During Obama’s remarks at a national health care forum, Obama said: “There’s something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up. I don’t know what it is. But that’s what happens.”

FOX News’ Greta van Susteren would later say, “I don’t know what that means.”

The Associated Press’ Phil Elliott: “Did the president just say Washington gets all “wee-wee-ed up” in August? Really?”
* * *

He’s a moron, so don’t waste anytime trying to figure out WHY he said it, he’s just a friggin anti-American a-hole.
Excuse my French, but I despise him and EVERYTHING he stands for.

Also, that “Medicare” quote has always seemed misleading. For one, the somewhat sinister titling of that program could have led to a cognitive confusion in the mind of the speaker—meaning “medical care” but shortening it to MediCare. I’m sure that’s what the government intended to when it named it, to make it synonymous with the very provision of medical care, so as to ease the transition to a truly collectivist form of health insurance or provision.

But anyway, the mere use of that term could mean the speaker made a slip more forgivable than Obama’s 57 states (unless he was talking about ketchup or Heinz somewhere in that speech.)

My personal favorite (though I don’t know the “author”):

“If you ram this down our throats in 2009, we’ll shove it up your @ss in 2010!”

"You give me a water board, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders." Jesse Ventura, during a CNN interview May 11.

That's what ticks me off about Ventura. He's stupid.

The water boarding was not about getting a confession, it was about acquiring information to prevent the murder of innocent people who just wanted to live their lives.

Hey, I fully agree that information obtained by doing things like waterboarding is a violation of the 5th Amendment and shouldn't be admissible at trial.

If Cheney had Ventura's kid buried in a box would he not waterboard him to find out where she was?
