Way to go, Obama...

[samhsarah]

Give the Ray-Publicans their talking points. Hatch is on the floor right now talking about what Obama said this weekend.:banghead:

1. That Obama quote is allllll over the place.

Even (the racist) Limbaugh used it today.

[tatertop]

5. What did he say?

[samhsarah]

8. I'm trying to look up the transcript....

I don't want to misquote him, but it was along the lines of "I will fillibuster, but I really don't want to. If the Dems wanted to fillibuster, they should have thought about this a long time ago,..." But like I said, that is nowhere near his exact words. As soon as I find the actual quote, I will post it for you.

[tatertop]

4. I think he takes Himself to damn serious. He seems to have quite the ego

IMHO

7. Here's the likely one

On Sunday, Sen. Barak Obama, D-Illinois, faulted his Democratic colleagues for relying on parliamentary maneuvers to make their point.

"I will be supporting the filibuster because I think Judge Alito, in fact, is somebody who is contrary to core American values, not just liberal values," Obama told ABC's "This Week."

But he added, "These last-minute efforts, using procedural maneuvers inside the Beltway, I think, has been the wrong way of going about it."

Predicted Obama: "Judge Alito will be confirmed."

Well, Barak, why didn't you use your face time to educate the public instead of bashing Democrats?

11. thanks, gumby,

yeah that's the one. I was having a hard time finding that link.

[fooj]

14. My sentiment, exactly.

I posted THREADS about it all day yesterday.

peace.

[tatertop]

19. Who is he working for again?

It's kinda hard to tell sometimes

[dogday]

9. From his speech at the Democratic National Convention

to this. Did someone get to him? Have something on him? he has really changed his tune.....

[fooj]

12. Be careful...

someone may rip you a new asshole for questioning the good Senator.

You know how I feel about him.

Peace.

[samhsarah]

18. I'm surprised it took this long.....

17. Well..

...Democrats SHOULD have been better prepared. Hell, Bush SHOULDN'T EVEN BE IN OFFICE. He shouldn't have been installed in power in 2000, and he shouldn't have been permitted to stay after 2004. So Obama is correct. Crike, we got Byrd and Lieberman actually HURTING our cause, but I've seen 20 threads wanting to crucify Obama for pointing out a truth.

What the hell ever...

[mac56]

20. "...20 threads wanting to crucify Obama for pointing out a truth..."

God damn if that isn't true. Kill the messenger, why don't they?

[fooj]

21. huh?

what messenger?

[samhsarah]

23. Well...

When Orrin Hatch (REPUBLICAN) can stand on the floor of the Senate and repeat what HE (Obama - DEMOCRAT) said word for word as one of THEIR talking points, then maybe it's a truth HE (you know, the DEMOCRAT) should have kept to HIS damn self.

[mac56]

27. Oh, yeah, that's right. Speak the truth, except sometimes.

Sorry. I forgot how the saying goes.

:banghead:

[Beaverhausen]

25. His timing could not be worse

well, if this was even closer to the elections I guess it could be but still...did he have to say that now?

Sorry - I had high hopes for him too but this was just plain stupid.

[Skidmore]

22. Perhaps Obama is just a good poker player?

[fooj]

26. One can only hope...

I don't think that's part of his "strategory", though.

Peace.

[rocktivity]

28. I'm beginning to suspect that Obama is up to something myself

He seems to be more upset about filibustering in general than filibustering Alito in particular.

24. Doesn't he realize

Republicans will seize on his every word if it helps them? Hey I'm drowning Obama, throw me a cement block.
