Definitely BS. They only make it worse by objecting.
More lies
That's one GD expensive degree!
It was a pep rally, but sedate compared to the Democratic standard--the Wellstone memorial.
Of course they aren’t. This White House ain’t responsible for anything or anybody.
I am so civil.
But his campaign created the guest list.
Serious ? They took a 100 mil hit after that ? WOWIE.
It’s not the venue. It’s Obama’s supporters who have the mental capacity of a 3 year old.
Obama tried to use it as a political rally and now the white house is trying to backtrack. That is a sick group of folks.
Call me cynical or jaded or unfeeling but what is this bilge about the “grieving process” and the “healing process”? Were the immature morons whooping and cheering in that arena “grieving”? Of course not. Nor are the rest of us. The only people really grieving are the families who lost sons, mothers, fathers, brothers, or sisters in the shooting. They were just about forgotten in that spectacle last night. The rest of us feel sorry that the tragedy happened, but I very much doubt we are “grieving” or need Obama to help us “heal.”
I don’t understand all this navel-gazing and national fixation with public displays of emotional meltdowns. You would think we’re all on the couch sitting next to Oprah. It’s absurd. Instead of Obama taking center stage, I’d like to see that drill sargeant from the Geico commercials who is disgusted and wants to take the slobbering crybaby to “mamby pamby land.”
All of this is just an excuse for people to get some face time in front of national t.v. cameras to promote their political careers or massage their massive egos. And the president of the University of Arizona made himself and that institution look like a bunch of dolts. None of them has any acquaintance at all, apparently, with memorial services that actually are memorials. I’m thinking of the awe-inspiring service in the National Cathedral after 9-11. But, of couse, Laura Bush supposedly was in charge of organizing that.
horseshit. Hussein’s handlers tightly control every aspect of their stooge’s appearances...from the T-shirts sold to the size of the font in the teleprompter.
Don’t tell me they didn’t want that irreligious hootfest to be held in that auditorium.
The story, according to hubby, should be that even Bill Clinton knew how to set the tone for something. With OKC, Clinton kept the tone somber. (and usually, he made sure that he had the appropriate facial expressions when the camera was on-hah except for the Ron Brown funeral thing) The circus atmosphere was set by the political operatives who choreographed a political show.
Sound like a familiar democrat theme? I don't mean to be uncivil, I'm just being economical. Is that still OK?
While you don't have to be rowdy in an arena, you can certainly choose to be rowdy there.
If this were true, how did they get barrys new election slogan t-shirts?
All that was missing was Dickie V.
Ronald Reagan could have spoken at a somber event at the same venue, and there wouldn't have been a dry eye in the audience. It's the crowd and the people who are running the show that matter, not the venue.
Nor did they know anything about the t-shirts and the campaign literature that was handed out. They were completely in the dark and taken by surprise. (Eyes rolling)
Yeah...if he’s dumb enough to try that one for his new slogan—it will truly be the end.
But he can’t use “hope and change” anymore. Perhaps his opponent could use it. I know we’re all “hoping for change”.
