Obamination sinks to even newer low

[Ronin13]

And you thought it wasn't even possible...

In recent days, President Obama has been ramping up the rhetoric on the campaign trail, trying to convince voters they cannot trust Mitt Romney. Obama has suggested on many occasions that Romney has been dishonest with regard to his tax plan and other proposals.

But in a recent Rolling Stone interview, he was a bit more frank in his assessment of the former Massachusetts governor.

In the article by Douglas Brinkley, Obama is referring to a six-year-old girl who told her dad to tell the president, “you can do it,” referring to winning on Election Day.

“You know, kids have good instincts,” Obama told Rolling Stone. “They look at the other guy and say, ‘Well, that’s a bull****ter, I can tell.’”

Takes one to know one I guess... kinda funny coming from the biggest bullshitter in America. [Bang] FBO.

Both are full of shit

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Yup. He's a bullshitter, and so is the other one. Ronin... They... Are... Politicians... Whoa!

[Ronin13]

True... However, I pointing out that instead of Obama saying "He says a lot of things that just aren't true" he had to come out with more colorful language... Not very presidential if you ask me.

It just exemplifies what a bitter and immature individual he is.
The minute your opposition stoops to name calling and swearing you have won the argument.

I don't think the Romney camp will stoop to his level- the way Mr. Romney is, he'll take the higher road. [Coffee]

[Ronin13]

And I just heard a guy say "Wow... I was on the fence, but now I'm not voting for that man. I remember I told my kids that they can look up to the president, now I wouldn't say that about this guy... I don't even want to repeat this story to my 6 year old daughter!"

There is just a level of, well, decorum, that most people expect from the president, regardless of who it is. This is part of being or acting "presidential". I'm not really surprised at all, given previous behavior. As recently as the last debate, Beeho condescendingly and sarcastically lectured Romney about Aircraft carriers and submarines - way out of bounds, in my opinion.

The last 4 years have been a never-ending series of teleprompter-fueled speeches. I have to admit that I did listen to some of them, but the last one was just after Congresswoman Giffords was shot down in Tucson. In that speech, Beeho beautifully requested civility and a change in the national dialogue that was less inflammatory. It was clear within the next few days he didn't really mean that, and didn't call out those in his party saying the Tea Party was responsible for her death. That was the final nail in the coffin for me paying any attention at all to what he said - since he has proven over and over that his actions have nothing to do with the nice speeches.

This guy is our president, but in my opinion is not a good person. I do think he knows the gig is up, and is trying desperately to rally the base.

Anyone who thinks that children have "special wisdom" or "good instincts" or crap like that are basically too stupid to live.

Like Chaney telling a Senator to "go fuck himself"?

Children do have good instincts and special wisdom.
Then their parents intervene.

A child that finds this inappropriate from the POTUS was raised with some respect.
A child that thinks it is cool was raised with no respect.

We don't need a "Hip Dude" as the leader of our country.
We need an individual who is proffesional, level headed and mature.

We haven't had a professional level headed mature leader since Bush Sr.

Agree wholeheartedly.

let him drive himself into the ground, he is doing a great job of it lately.

I thought the OP was about a current, sitting president calling the man who's about to take his job, a vulgar name. Not about something that a former vice-president said.

Let me say, Cheney's statement was certainly undignified. However, it was also provoked by Sen Leahy and the exchange was in an area not meant to be seen by the public - not in an interview in a national magazine.

Many political figures are caught in awkward moments by "open" mics. Most of the time it's accidental and not meant for public consumption. That's the difference in what, and where, Obama said what he did and the accidental audio moments.

[Rucker61]

Sorry, didn't realize you like your politicians to be so PC.

[Bailey Guns]

It has nothing to do with PC. It has to do with Obama being a spineless, little man. But, he's also a liberal so I don't expect much more from him.

Like Obama's "accidental hot mic" moment where "After I'm reelected you'll have more flexibility"?

Carl, you make the best point... It's a big difference between saying something "off-the-record" where it's between two people and not meant for the public, and a very well known publication (even if it is Libtarded Rolling Stone). The fact that he said this publicly shows what kind of a fucking child he is... We need an adult in office, not a foul mouthed, insulting, vitriolic child.
