Obama on Romney - "He's a Bullsh1tter"
 

Executive editor Eric Bates told Obama that he had asked his six-year-old if there was anything she wanted him to say to the president … She said: 'Tell him: You can do it.'" Obama replied: "You know, kids have good instincts. They look at the other guy and say, 'Well, that's a bullshitter, I can tell'.


Stay Classy, O

I love it. I wish politicians were this honest always.

I think that anybody talking privately to another person can use whatever words they want between themselves. Don't you?

If you are offended at that term used by a President in private, for gosh sakes please don't read up about Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon or George W. when they met with Congress and their Cabinets!

romney is a bullsh!tter. nothing wrong with obama saying something that everyone knows is true.



i think diogenes wasn't looking for one honest man. i think he was looking for one honest politician.

Yes, of course. Except when they are talking privately to a roomful of rich donors at a fundraiser and the dems get hold of it and make political hay out of it for a month. That's different.

Agree completely, Zig. They are both classic bullsh1t artists. Just funny that the immediate hypocritical defense is "well, they were "talking privately", so that's different.

Never mind whatsoever that this "private" conversation was with the editor of Rolling Stone, either during or right after an interview - either way he knew his comments weren't off the record.... That makes me lol a little bit.

i wonder if cheney felt he was talking 'privately' when he told patrick leahy to go eff himself?? i think a lot of outrage was probably from people who can only dream of telling a politician something like that. :D

and when a reporter is involved, nothing, NOTHING is private or off the record.

Adjective choice is one thing. Your outrage was over "classy" and the use of what is considered a profanity by many. Which is rather funny - I had no idea you were so against the use of those words. Especially considering the completely foul, foul mouths that have historically inhabited the Oval Office and environs.

Romney-Ryan was just rated by Politifact (or FactCheck, I forget which) as speaking over 50% lies. Romney is a bullshitter!

Whole concepts relating that you think 47% of your fellow citizens "will never take responsibility for their lives" and are freeloaders is hardly the same thing - and it ends your presidential hopes. And rightly so.

Yes because a standing US president calling his opponent a bullshitter is a classy thing to do, especially when it's reported by international media. Right. And feel free to redefine your point that "talking privately" only means what you want it to mean, when it suits your agenda.

Obama didn't say, "Go fu.ck yourself", like Dick Cheney did in public on the Senate Floor.

Obama didn't say, "There's that major-league ******* from the NY Times" as President George W Bush did in public at a campaign rally.

Obama didn't say, "Dan Rather is a bastard" as President George HW Bush did in public at a press conference.

Romney was in a private campaign dinner where cell phones are physically removed from the attendees, and they are told recording is forbidden. Obama was talking in private to the press (which isn't private).

Your outrage at Obama using the term "bullshi.tter" pretty funny, considering that Obama is considered by all around him to surprisingly be pretty profanity-free and polite, especially compared to George W (who had one hell of a potty mouth, all the time). And that doesn't even approach Lyndon Johnson, who talked profanity to the press all the time.

So I guess, in the words of Joe Biden, this wasn't "A big f*cking deal?"

Everybody is, of course - especially the exceptionally patriotic conservative right wing - outraged at this lack of respect to the office of the President of the United States.

Simply outraged!

What does Dick Cheney have to do with anything?

You are a trip. If Romney would have said anything remotely close to this, we'd have 15 propaganda threads about how he is incapable of running the country.


You're too much. 12 days till Buh Bye.

Just point out to you that the top elected officials of the land use profanity in public.

I know you are very upset about it, right?

What are you so upset about - that a profanity adjective was used instead of a non-profanity adjective?

I could care less if Romney swore. Your ass-u-mption is wrong. But makes you look rather silly. I love it when people make things up out of thin air, then use that lie as a cudgel.

What I do care about is Romney's relentless and repeated outright lying. Mitt Romney is a serious and serial liar, about everything. He has repeatedly lied to the American public, to our faces. Because Romney is a serious, outrageous liar, he has disqualified himself from the Presidency - and that disqualification occurred in the 2008 campaign, not in 2012. 2012 just proved he still is what he is - a liar just like he was in 2008.

Hahahahaha.... she's spinning out of control again, folks.

He lies about EVERYTHING!!!??? Hahahahaha... I'm going to miss your brand of comedy.

it really is lightweight compared to past chatter between candidates. of course any talk pales in comparison to canings, duals, guns being pulled on political opponents in House session. so tame these days.

I find the below pretty "funny", myself:

Speaking of Romney lying, did you see today's other news about Romney lying in court?

yeah, but he's only following suit. He hasn't earned the distinction of having his very own website dedicated to the Glorious Leader's benchmark

The difference is, I already know they are both full of sh1t. And neither is ever going to singularly solve the problems at hand.

You are the only delusional one that actually believes that Obama was not only a great president, but that 4 more years of his failures are somehow going to "fix" things. *cue the ponderous, repetitive posts of how he's already made everything great*

1. He is the greatest human being alive because I read his book
2. We're 16 trillion in the hole to get us back to zero. Success!



on and on and on.

How can he lie about the price of a stock? The price of a stock is public record. If he was wrong about the price of the stock, do you really think it was intentional? He would have to know that there would not even be a 1% chance that he could get away with it. The plaintiff and the plaintiff's lawyer are going to know what the price of the stock was and they will obviously present that evidence to the court if anyone has the price of the stock wrong.

With regards to Romney lying more than Obama, I am actually glad that you posted that. It was the first time that you basically admitted (assuming you trust politifact) that both Obama and Romney both lie. You are making progress. In the past I don't think I've ever heard you admit that both guys lie but Romney lies more. You usually just say that Romney lies and never mention that Obama lies.
