haley barbour says Obama is the nation's least-known president.

[spanone]

first let me say...fuck you haley barbour


"I don't shy away from my career," he told reporters in Washington at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. "I'm a lawyer, a lobbyist and a politician. That's the trifecta."

The nation needs a lobbyist-in-chief because the next president will need to advocate, Barbour argued, much as he did as governor seeking resources for his state in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Asked about the man he would likely run against in 2012, Barbour said he takes the president at his word that he is a Christian and born in the United States, and that he did not know why such rumors have lingered for so long.

"I don't know why people think what they think," he said.

But he then offered this possible explanation: "This is a president that we know less about than any president in history."

9. I imagine so. It's not like Barbour or his voters can read, you know.

They knew all about Reagan because he was an actor so they saw him on TV. And they heard on TV over and over again that Bush was born in Texas (sic), was a born-again Christian (sic), and served in the military in some sort of undisclosed way, they think... (sic).

But, hell, they don't know about Obama because all those little black symbols on their computers and around the pictures in their newspapers don't talk good.

15. Dear Mr. Barbour (since you seem to know so much)

Can you tell us what former president George W. Bush was doing between 1972 and 1975? Because the Texas Air National Guard sure as hell doesn't seem to know.

[SargeUNN]

17. I saw what he did in Mississippi after Katrina

why I now live in ARIZONA!!! He screwed us.

18. He's only unknown to the ignorant. You can find out a lot if you actually care to look

or read.

[Skidmore]
