Thread to report dumb remarks/ lies/oops moments by Candidate: Barack Obama

Wow, you even lie about stupid **** like this?

There are two Whole Foods stores in Indiana. Whole Foods Market | WholeFoodsMarket.com

Can we see your statistics on arugula consumption by Indianans? :lol:

The president was speaking of Iowa. The abbreviation for Iowa is IA. Indiana is IN.

People who accuse others of being "stupid" or a "liar" should really check their facts before they use these inflammatory terms.

It is Barrack Obama who is the stupid liar and its easy to see why you identify so well with him.

Oh ... heh heh. :3oops:

I apologize.
 
It takes two to tango... and in fact, this president started off by not compromising with the Republicans in the first two years of his administration... Now that they lost complete control, they cant get a thing done, and are still trying to push a liberal agenda... It reflects bad leadership... When Republicans took control from Clinton, he was willing to work with them on welfare reform and other issues which appealed to both parties... Obama has proven unable to do that...

The health care bill was a perfect example of compromise. In over all concept it mirrors what was suggested by conservative republican think tanks.

Has this become Liar's Corner?

In fact the bill was passed by 219 votes to 212, with no Republican backing and 34 Democrats also opposed.

Mirrored what? A compromise where?

What is it with the BHO supporters?

And in fact most Democrats never even read the Bill before they passed it! The inmates have taken over!

That is not the point. The point is that the bill itself was a compromise with long standing ideas put forth by Republicans from previous years.

Perhaps you have heard of Governor Romney and the state of Massachusetts?

It was not a "compromise" because no Republican voted for it and most had not even read it. How is that any sort of compromise?

Yes, I have, And have you ever heard of Barrack Hussein Obama and the Republic of the United States? Do you understand where State Laws and Federal Laws might differ?

Have you heard of the US Constitution?

Both of your points are irrelevant. The fact is undeniable: the health program passed by Congress has its model as the Romney plan in Massachusetts which in turn was inspired in part by plans offered by the Heritage Foundation many years before. Therein lies the compromise. The fact that no current republicans voted for it is an indictment on the current extremism of the GOP. It in no way negates the historical reality of where the plan came from.

All your saying is the universal health care is universal health care and they're all the same or very similar. This is not "compromise" in any sense of the word. This "historical reality' could have been based on the NHS, Canada, or on any number of places. You don't know and neither did those who voted for it. They hadn't even read it much less "compromised" on it.

BHO gets his understanding of Health Care, and the underlings who created this concoction, based their ideas on the Heritage Foundation? That's really very interesting but perhaps you could connect where the authors of this bill copied from the Heritage Foundation? What were their names? Which items in particular?

That comment was a joke right? I'll forgive you...

(you are aware the only thing compromised by the bill was the US Constitution... which the Supreme Court should rectify shortly)
 
In his 2012 State of the Union Address, in talking about immigration and a path to citizenship for children who grew up in this country, Barack Obama said, "Send me a law that allows them to earn their citizenship, and I will sign it right away..."

I might advise him to visit the State Department's website... the same exact way as someone who e-mails the government asking them for information on the topic...

Citizenship and Nationality
(check out the Immigration and Nationality Act... and the Child Citizenship Act of 2000)
 
Oh ... heh heh. :3oops:

I apologize.
Apology accepted... Point still ignored...

2 stores in Indiana and 1 store in Des Moines still doesn't make it likely that most people in the Great Plains spent time shopping at Whole Foods for the price of Arugala, or eating it for dinner... There are 10 whole foods stores within 15 miles of Boston, there are 10 whole foods stores within 25 miles of NYC, Chicago, San Francisco... and likely other cities as well... Cities with large populations of liberal elitists... That's his core... The President is as out of touch with those people as everyone claims Mitt Romney is... The average Americans..
 
Hussein Obama is a bold face liar........When he was running for president in 2007 he siad he would cut the deficit in half during his first term or he would not run for a second term. He has increased it by 6 trillion dollars more then all presidents combined......Why don't we hold him to his promise?

Okay, I'll eat further crow if I must. :) It was a boneheaded example.

Nope... the thread was not stupid things liberal posters say... its stupid things Barack Obama has said... back on topic

Time to bring up an oldie but goodie...

The Gas Tax Hypocrisy


This may rear its ugly head again... and it's good on so many levels...

1) it continues to show that Obama is a complete fraud, and he flip-flops to whatever position to fit the political mood he feels at the time...

and many more…

“This is not about politics of the moment… it’s about what we can do right now!”

Both Ways Barrack Is No Flip-Flopper - YouTube
“Bothway Barack, worse than a flip-flopper”

2) it shows how out of touch with average Americans... He thinks the problem with fuel prices is just a simple MPG issue... He thinks if you change your car to a lower MPG car, then everything will be alright... I'm not sure he sees that many Americans are out of work, or working low paying jobs, and cant just afford to go switch up to a low MPG car, no matter what tax incentive he comes up with... Those low MPG cars don't suit their needs either... a low MPG car doesn't plow a field, it doesnt power factories, it doesnt heat houses in the winter, it doesn't come in pick-up variety... Things which average Americans need to rely on in the short term...

3) how poorly he is at leadership on issues... He has no short term policy for high energy prices (in fact, he wants them to go up)... This was 4 years ago... same problem, same lack of response...

4) It shows how he thinks government programs are the cure for all the problems we have in life... He thinks theres a problem with the environment so government can fix it, by causing crippling regulations on industry, and forcing Americans to have to resort to tax incentives from the government to buy into his new modern agenda... He doesn't care what expenses you or the government will have to endure to accomplish the goals of his vision of society... crippling sanctions, needless regulations, exorbitant prices, expensive costs to the government... no problem for him...

This is him advertising in 2008 that he’s gonna punish oil companies… (the ones who give us the gas)
Barack Obama 2008 ad on Gas Prices - YouTube

In other ways, he doesn't care how energy prices effect average Americans... here is a perfect example... his support for cap and trade, which he admittedly suggests that he knows will incur huge costs on companies, and then get passed back onto the consumers... he just feels its that important, that government has to do it...

Here's a good example... his stance on cap and trade of the coal industry...
Obama admits his intentions are to skyrocket oil prices - YouTube

5) He is a dreamer, and certainly not a pragmatist about this... The Volt cost $40K, in a market where most cars cost $15K, and no $7500-$10000 tax incentive is going to help them make that transformation... Most Americans can't simply afford to buy a new car... They are out of work or working low paying jobs that they need the cars they already have to get them to and from work or job interviews on a regular basis... and to help them pick up their kids and take them to activities... Even if everyone bought into his vision of the world, with the new innovations, people can't afford them... and in the meantime need a short-term solution to gas prices... Instead of government forcing people to buy new, the government could let the market regulate itself, and the new technology wouldn't be unrolled until they can find a way to make it truly affordable and competitive... when it reaches that level of efficiency, then people will buy them... Instead he just wants to mock and laugh at people who don't have the means to buy a new car, or who can't function on a tiny little box car...

Obama Fumbles with Gas Price Question - YouTube

Yeah, real funny that the guy who has lots of kids has to drive around a large vehicle, that they don't have fuel efficient alternatives for just yet... ha ha, he he, hoo hoo... real funny mr president that you don't care about the real ways in which high fuel prices hurt the economy, hurt the average Americans, and prevent people from lifting themselves out of poverty...

Instead he wants high gas prices at a gradual pace...
Obama Wanted High Gas Prices...Gradually (2008 Election Campaign) - YouTube
Steven Chu - lower gas prices not goal - YouTube
Obama Wants Gas Prices to Hit European Levels - YouTube

He wants the high fuel prices to allow him to build high speed rail for the general Chicago area...
Obama on high gas prices - YouTube

The guy is aloof to the effects people deal with from trying to have government enforce his unrealistic ideals compared with the reality of how life exists in the present state…
 
Next Obama administration foolish mistake...

SCARE FORCE ONE
(no... not the Aussie roller derby team)



For those of you unaware of this event, that is not a video from 9/11... That is a video from April of 2009...

That plane is Air Force Two... the sister plane of Air Force One, that is used as a back-up... and it's being accompanied by an F-16

It is being flown by Lower Manhattan for a press op photo shoot, so that they can get a picture of it with the Statue of Liberty below...

scare-force-one-776471.jpg


To go with a series of similar photos... (which are just as stupid)

af1-rushmore.jpg


If it were that simple, it would be fine... but in the wake of 9/11 to fly a Boeing 747 by Lower Manhattan followed by an F-16 is one of the stupidest ideas ever... It cause massive panick as it happened, WITH NO PRIOR WARNING!

Obama passed the buck on it, and a member of his administration took the blame for it. However, as the story is reported that he was angry about it... in all the video I've seen he seems rather non-shallant about it, and speaks about it calmly and with little care towards the gross error in judgement. He also issued most of his statements about this through his press secretary only, rather than address the issue personally.

For more on the story refer here;

How do your claims make sense? On the one hand you argue that Dems want to shaft the wealthy to pay for their parasitic existence, and on the other hand you argue that Obama signed the extension of tax cuts for the wealthy to get get Dems reelected?

Because deep down everyone loves tax cuts. Don't you like paying less taxes? Only a moron wouldn't love that. :D
 
Next Obama stupid statement...

After promising to close Guantanamo... and bashing the Bush administration's mishandling of the war on terror...

New President Obama proposes the permanent preventative "Prolonged Detention" of suspected terrorists... suspended the writ of habeus corpus in a "legal" manner...

Ah.... time again for another Obama gaffe...

What better way to endorse your own controversial partisan healthcare plan, than issuing hundreds of ObamaCare waivers to your supporters so they don't have to suffer the burdens of it...

way to go mr president, that'll sell this policy (and his presidency down the river)

(coming soon to a presidential debate near you)
 
He was right -- the cops acted stupidly. So did Gates.
 
He was right -- the cops acted stupidly. So did Gates.
The cops didn't act stupidly, they were doing their job... Gates was going over the top and being verbally assaultive of the cop, and was preventing him from doing his job, so he was arrested for causing a disturbance... and when level heads prevailed he was released without charges... He was accusing the white officer of racism, and yet there's 3 officers involved... 1 white 1 hispanic 1 black... and there person on the 911 call didn't identify the race of the person invading the home... and said they looked maybe hispanic... Yet, Gates goes overboard and goes public with racist comments, which disrupt the decorated officer's life... and the President, instead of diffusing the situation makes the stupidest action of all of them... When he says he doesnt have all the facts (and instead of leaving it at that), then goes on to make a judgement, and call an entire police department (that is out enforcing the laws of this country) of acting stupidly... again, without the facts... Which makes this whole issue explode nationally, and forces several comments back and forth without all the facts by national media representatives... Then as a result, he then tries to diffuse it, by staging this Beer Summit on the White House lawn... which they let the press in to take pictures and take a short video of... then force the press off the property... The whole thing was ridiculous, and further made that way... all because the president was acting on behalf of his buddy... skip gates... who told the cambridge police "dont you know who you're messing with"?
 
He signed legislation raising taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products soon after taking office; that money goes to pay for children's health insurance programs.

Oh the horror! Raising taxes on an item when used according to mfg's directions, will kill you. Never mind the amazing burden on your health care costs.

He also signed the health care law, which includes taxes on indoor tanning that went into effect last year.

OMG. No, not this. Yet another thing that creates a burden to the tax payer. What's next? Will you be whining when he raises taxes on asbestos?


Also, his health care law includes new taxes on the wealthy, starting in 2013. Individuals who make more than $200,000 and couples that make more than $250,000 will see additional Medicare taxes of 0.9 percent. They will also, for the first time, have to pay Medicare taxes on their investment income at a 3.8 percent rate.

I can't take this. Wow, he's so evil.

Now to be fair,

Ok now THAT right there is funny.

Seriously, get back to us when highlight areas in which Obama lowered taxes. That would be "fair" would it not? This entire thread is nothing more than snibliing and whining.

That's such a bogus assessment... Obama hasn't lowered taxes... He raised capital gains taxes, and raised taxes to pay for the ObamaCare plan...

These supposed lowered taxes of his arent lowered taxes, but tax credits for people who live the lifestyle that Obama wants you to live... You still have to go out and forward the cash, and then apply to get the credit from the government after the fact (and only as a deduction from taxable income not a dollar for dollar reimbursement)... That's not lowering taxes... Lowering taxes is when you give the people more of their money back so they can do the things they want to do with their lives... This is such a farce by the Obama administration and it's followers...

Plus the policy is to raise taxes, they just havent been able to push that through.. The only reason the taxes arent significantly higher, is because when the Dems had control, they knew the tax raise would kill the economy..... now they know they couldn't pass a tax rate hike through either house... so they're posturing that they just want to raise taxes on the rich only...

So to say Obama lowered taxes is truly saying Republicans havent allowed Obama to jack up taxes on people...

We all know he backed out on the agreement he made with Boehner... and instead tried to get higher revenue from tax increases... thats why we dont have a more balanced budget at the moment...


This entire thread is nothing more than snibliing and whining.

Well... given that the thread is stupid mistakes Obama made... doesn't that seem appropriate that the thread has comments that go against Obama's stupid mistakes?

Seem like you're interested in a different thread?
