Default 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.

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.

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

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 Obama said of outdated equipment.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 ! There has to be way more to this! What is CBS covering up? Trump - Palin 2012! Yehaaaa!

Obama clearly called the lazy slugs, Joey - what more do you want to hear? What conspiracy theory of appalling secret discourse is Breitbach trying to foment?

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