Well, Barry had a press conference where he apologized to the Asian community for his remarks, but in the process managed to insult the Polish :smack:
He’s just the gift that keeps on giving.
He’s a riddle, surrounded by an enigma, wrapped in a fat suit, with a dusting of cocaine.
…underneath a hooker.
Ok, I can’t help but contribute this gem to this thread: the mayor of DC, Vincent Gray, signed an anti-bullying bill into law. Great. But as part of his statement on signing the bill, the following happened:
You, Mr. Mayor, are an ignoramus.
Wow, it’s Stupid Liberal Idea of the Day Day already? Can’t believe how fast a month goes by.
I know, I know… I felt a twinge of guilt for bumping this thread, then I read Gray’s comments again. The stupidity… it *seethes… *
Oh, it’s stupid all right, and deserves its place here.
Stupidity clusters: the GOP have South Carolina, Tennessee and Arizona; the Democrats have New York, DC and San Francisco.
Wow. That’s some remarkable stupid. It even has layers. Like stupid wrapped in stupid.
Obama: "…-look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. "
Really?
I suppose the Wright Brothers didn’t do it on their own, right, Barry? How about Henry Ford? Or Thomas Edison?
Or me? Or any of the other millions of small business owners? I sure as hell didn’t see you next to me on the training floor as I worked my way up to 5th Degree Black Belt and school owner. I sure as hell don’t see you next to me as I make phone calls, design flyers, meet prospective new students and sign them up, teach classes, then clean the restrooms after everyone has gone home for the evening.
I did that, you ignorant pissant. It’s my blood, tears and sweat making that business run, not yours.
They didn’t get there on their own, and neither did you. You all had the advantage of a society that encouraged entrepreneurship and probably friends and family who supported them, and for those who made it really big, investors who thought their ideas were worthwhile.
I’ll just alert the power plant that gives you electricity, the waste treatment plant that handles your plumbing and the students who pay you for classes that their involvement is not needed because clothahump got there all on his own and needs help from no one.
Was part of your training how to be a knuckledragging moron or does it come naturally?
The next paragraph in Obama’s speech, for those who want full context rather that Clothahump’s summary:
Hey, dummy. Look over here.
Clothahump, you blithering idiot, you pillock, you fucking brainwashed ignoramus, did you build the roads that get people to your business? Did you install the wire that provides electricity, telephone, and Internet? Did you design and build the building your business is housed in? Did you inspect it yourself to ensure its structure is sound? Did you horde money under your pillow to pay for it all, or involve a bank? Did you obtain a loan? How did you learn to read (in so far as you did learn to read)? Did you learn mathematics on your own, developing a complete skill set all alone from nothing but a set of axioms you thought of yourself? Where did you learn the principles of business, from a squirrel?
I wouldn’t normally bring this up, but since he made it an issue: Clathahump, didn’t your school go bust?
To be fair, I’m pretty sure that in Clothaump World, context counts as a stupid liberal idea.
Anyone know where Clothy got this particular distorted talking point from? Just curious.
Obama said it at a recent campaign stop in Roanoke. Pubs are falling over themselves to take the words out of context.
yeah, I’m just curious which source he saw that played it out of context. One possible place is Fox & Friends:
