Obama: Americans Want 'New Car Smell' In 2016

[Purveyor]

Source: Associated Press

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) -- President Barack Obama says voters want a "new car smell" in the 2016 White House race and that Hillary Rodham Clinton would be "a great president."

But would Clinton pass that particular smell test?

In a nationally televised interview broadcast Sunday, Obama seemed to suggest that any Democrat other than him would provide the turn of the page that he says voters are interested in. He acknowledged the "dings" to his own political standing during nearly six years of sometimes bruising battles with Congress and said Americans will want something new.

"They want to drive something off the lot that doesn't have as much mileage as me," Obama said in the interview with ABC's "This Week," which was taped Friday in Las Vegas following a public appearance there by the president.

[gordianot]

1. Politics in 21st Century America does smell.

[bigwillq]

3. And it doesn't smell good.

[Purveyor]

9. Oooo, Oooo That Smell....

[Chasstev365]

2. It's Sad

President Obama has done so many great things, but the right wing hate machine and racial prejudice will make him keep a distance in 2016. Much like Jackie Robinson, history will portray Barack H. Obama in a great light!

[Droning Predator]

38. I completely agree

[Voice for Peace]

4. that doesn't exactly sound like an endorsement of Hillary.

[Purveyor]

5. I didn't read it as such either, just the opposite.

I just can't get the tune "the old gray mare she isn't what she used to be" out of my head...

[Voice for Peace]

7. "a new smell" would eliminate clintons and bushes.

I don't think he has that low an opinion of himself.

[RufusTFirefly]

8. Reminds me of Eisenhower's great vote of confidence for Richard Nixon

When asked what major projects Nixon had assisted with during the Eisenhower Presidency, Ike famously said, "If you give me a week, I may think of something."

Payback can be a bitch:

"I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he'd bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002." -- Hillary Clinton, 2008

[Voice for Peace]

10. ooh that reminds me how hopping mad at her I was throughout that primary.

and why I really hope she doesn't get the nomination.

[KingCharlemagne]

59. Deep down, Ike probably hated and despised Tricky Dick. Although I'm no big

fan of Ike's, I'm glad he didn't live to see the disgrace Tricky Dick brought upon the office of the Presidency. For that matter, can anyone imagine Ike suffering lightly the likes of Rumsferatu, Darth Cheney or either of the Bushes?

[VanillaRhapsody]

29. a WOMAN doesn't smell different to you?

[Voice for Peace]

57. Not all women.

Elizabeth Warren, yes. Call it the smell of fresh air.

[jakeXT]

6. And I thought it was about subprime auto loans

Auto loan delinquencies rose in 3rd quarter

Auto loan delinquencies rose in the third quarter as banks, finance companies and automakers make more high-risk subprime loans to buyers with checkered credit histories.

Experian, a data analysis company that helps lenders manage risk, issued a report Wednesday showing that the percentage of auto borrowers who are at least 30 days behind rose 3.7% between July and the end of September from the year earlier period.

Those who are 60 days or more behind jumped 8.6% from a year earlier.

Deep subprime loans, which carry even greater risk than subprime loans, accounted for 3.84% of all car loans in the third quarter, up from 3.57% a year earlier.

11. So Did Obama just give the Republicans the keys to the front

door of the White House? Does anyone realize what Republicans will do with this statement.
Do they realize where the lying,cheating,stealing, conniving, RNC chairman Reince Priebus will go with this statement.
Don't ever give Republicans an opening like this Mr. President..6 years and you haven't learned that yet?

[jtuck004]

13. Shhh.... People are playing chess. n/t

[Autumn]

12. Did he just throw Hillary under the bus?

[Demeter]

14. Yup

With a gratuitous, ageist insult, no less.


On the other hand, if he had come out and endorsed her, it would have been the Kiss of Death...

[Autumn]

16. Maybe a new chess move?

[Demeter]

17. More like Same Old, Same Old

Foot in mouth disease

[Autumn]

19. He sure gave the republicans ammo if she runs.

Not sure I would call that foot and mouth disease

[840high]

22. Nah - more like checkers.

[Autumn]

23. I hope Hillary doesn't run but

wow. Never fucking give ammo to a fucking republican unless you WANT them to use it.

[7962]

52. Oh, she's running. No doubt

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. or Joe Biden.

He isn't exactly new to the showroom.

[VanillaRhapsody]

30. How bout the fact that we have never had the "scent of a woman" in that position?

[Autumn]

33. Exactly so my dear friend, I also like Al Pacino. Not sure he can win the election but

it's worth a shot. One of my favorite actors. I wonder if he would have that new car smell?

[VanillaRhapsody]

34. No but Hillary Clinton does!

and not only does she smell nice...she can WIN!

[Autumn]

36. I bet she smells better than air freshener.

[VanillaRhapsody]

37. Oh yeah....ask Bill Clinton...

and we can finally get that locker room smell out of the drapes....

[Autumn]

39. I bet Obama knows how Hillary smells. She was his SOS after all.

[VanillaRhapsody]

40. Yeah she smells like winner!

but I guess you prefer the smell of Republicans owning all three branches!

[Autumn]

43. Oh how funny, I saw the word weiner instead of winner

The Oscar Weiner mobile had a new car smell too.

[VanillaRhapsody]

44. Of course you did....you wouldn't know a winner if it slapped you.

[Autumn]

45. That really hurt my feelings.

[VanillaRhapsody]

46. I don't care...

[Autumn]

47. Just when I think you are my friend you go off the rails.

[VanillaRhapsody]

48. I told you I don't want to date you nor be your friend.

[Autumn]

49. I don't want to date you either but I am willing to be your friend.

[beerandjesus]

65. You need a few thousand more posts fawning over the status quo

established by the Powers That Be before you can be that one's friend.

[7962]

54. Hillary is not a republican.

[woo me with science]

15. What a perfectly crass corporate metaphor.

But that's what corporatist perversion of politics does: replaces representation of citizens in a democracy with hucksters manipulating consumers to sell a product.

The stench of Hillary's corporatism is as rank as the stench of this corporate presidency that is dismantling democracy itself and subverting our representative government for the interests of corporations.

This nation cannot afford another corporate administration. We need to become the 99 percent and demand corporate money and power out of politics. Run, Bernie Sanders, run in 2016.

35. You crow about the corporations, name one candidate who could get elected to president without

Corporate financial funding.

51. I invite you to post this reply in the new DU group: "Populist Reform of the Democratic Party".

Or, if you prefer, I'll copy and paste it myself, and give you credit.

Thanks!

55. Holy shit what a list. Wow.

Funny thing is, you see some of these stories on several RW sites.

[AngryOldDem]

64. +1

Thanks for these.

[MannyGoldstein]

18. This is GREAT news!

Our President is right! America needs a fresh face, and who has more fresh faces than Hillary Clinton?!

A rousing endorsement! Huzzah!

The little Proud-Liberal-With-A Steely-Realist's-Eyes Hillary model that we're putting the finishing touches on will be like nothing America has ever seen before. The only thing that won't be new in this model is the inevitability.

21. People who don't like her are pissed the President they don't like

didn't give her a ringing endorsement?

Politics can be so .

[Thinkingabout]

41. YES, thanks for pointing this out.

I guess some feel if they can tear down all the candidates but the ones they would push maybe their candidate may be able to be on top in the primary.

[A Simple Game]

42. Not me! n/t

I get it.

50. Perhaps "hard-working white Americans" prefer used cars

Remember this lowlight from 2008?

She said what? Hillary Clinton gave an interview to USA Today Wednesday in which she argued her now-anemic case for continuing in the Democratic race: "I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on." She then cited an Associated Press piece that "found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in (Indiana and North Carolina) who had not completed college were supporting me." Bloggers can't contain their anger.

53. Read the article before commenting... he never dissed Hillary

He said a number of possible Democratic candidates would make "terrific presidents," but Hillary Clinton is the only one he mentioned by name. He said she would be a "formidable candidate" and make "a great president" if she decides to run a second time.

-----------
New car smell or not, Democratic voters hold her in such high regard that she outdistances anyone else in polling of possible Democratic candidates for 2016. One of them is Vice President Joe Biden, who has not ruled out a third run for the White House.

Eight in 10 Democrats held positive views of Clinton in an Associated Press-GfK poll conducted in late July. Biden had a 71 percent favorable rating in the survey.

Obama acknowledged that Hillary Clinton won't agree with him on everything, suggesting that such a stance would be a welcome break for voters after eight years of Obama. A benefit of running for president, he said, "is you can stake out your own positions."

60. Weird comment..

Expect it to be parsed 100 different ways by the talking heads.

[blkmusclmachine]

62. Hillary will run to Obama's right. And lose.

[bigdarryl]

63. I love the President BUT sometimes he has foot in mouth disease

He needs to do less interviews that was not helpful saying that for 2016 as far as the democratic party is concern.And I think the rethugs will use that clip against who ever the nominee is
