Obama allegedly called Americans "slugs" on CBS open mic tape
 
But you'll never hear it, since they are not releasing the entire unedited tape.

I believe he called some federal workers 'slugs', heard it about a week ago?

I agreed.

Mike 04-20-2011 01:47 PM

If he said that all American workers, in general, were "slugs", that would be bad.
If he was referring to a select group of people as slugs, when they just might be, it's no biggie.

joeydb 04-20-2011 02:03 PM

Well, if we had the tape, we would know. There is a lot of uncertainty about what context the word "slugs" was used in.

Mike 04-20-2011 02:20 PM

I agree, I'd like the tape released. I always love it when politicians are caught off guard, or unscripted. Then, one can tell a whole lot more about them

Considering the President knew he was still miked when he made his comments to his donors (the comment about Ryan was purposeful and deliberate) I'm sure he said that, too. Absolutely sure. Because, you know, nobody is talking about it. Not one person who heard it has said a word. The evidence is that there is no evidence. And Andrew Breitbach ... well, there you have it! His reputation stands alone** But we know he must have said it. Prima facie! Trump - Palin 2012 !

** except Breitbach was pretty hilarious last week, when he was in Wisconsin introducing Sarah Palin, and the pro-union protestors booing overwhelmed and outnumbered the few Palin attendees, and he stood there like whining baby on the stage screaming, "Shut the hell up! Shut the hell up!" over and over.

Can we just go with what CBS quoted as a direct quote from the President?

Quote:

He said the White House is "like 30 years behind" when it comes to technology.

"Our IT purchasing is horrible," said the president referring to Information Technology throughout the government.

"It's true in the Pentagon. It's true in the agencies. It's true in the Department of Homeland Security," Mr. Obama said of outdated equipment.

But he did have some kind words to say about government workers.

"What's striking when you enter into the federal government is how generally smart and dedicated people are." He did opine that some employees "are slugs and not trying to do their job. But that's true of any large institution."

But generally speaking, he said he would put up federal workers against any workers in the private sector.

As for staffers at the White House, he said "they are as good as anybody else."

OH MY GAWD ! :D There has to be way more to this! What is CBS covering up? Trump - Palin 2012! Yehaaaa!

That might very well be the context -- just release the unedited tape, CBS!

Did anybody see Donald Trumps interviews over the past couple of days with Savannah Guthrie?

Geesh, he's as bad and ignorant as Palin, being unable to answer questions about this country! Doesn't know how many Congressmen there are?

He doesn't understand why Guthrie is asking about his thoughts on the Constitutionality of privacy rights (the very basis of Roe v Wade) in light of his change to being anti-abortion rights? Why Guthrie is bringing that up in the abortion discussion?

:zz:

But George Stephanopolis got Michelle Bachmann during the interview the other morning about Obama's birth certificate - showed it to her, and got the President of the Tea Party caucus to admit that the "birther issue is settled, then" That's hilarious, here:

Apparently the inability to answer questions does not disqualify one from being president. The current occupant of that office is ample proof.

Really? Do elaborate on the "ample".

Trump made a fool of himself in the Guthrie interviews: he'd just "tell" China to stop manipulating their currency? LOL. Here's some Trump stuff: http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news...rtion-question

And Trump telling George Stephanopoulis that he's been "co-opted by Obama minions" - LOL
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...IECE_blog.html

I just wish Trumps wife would tell him that the makeup color of the powder he uses daily on his face is too orange, and change the color! It gives him weird white raccoon eyes.

Now joey, you really aren't comparing President Obama with Palin or Trump are you? You may dislike Obama's policies or even the man himself but he's Einstein compared to these two phonies! Palin should stick to reality TV and Trump...well, hate to tell him but there's more to governing than saying, "you're fired"!

Antitrust32 04-21-2011 03:09 PM

Even if Obama did call Americans "slugs"... he'd be correct.

much ado about nothing... the republicans like to cling on stuff like that.
