This is the worst doctoring of a video I ever saw/heard in an attempt to claim Obama used "F-word"
Edited on Sun May-02-10 03:07 PM by jenmito
last night. Newsbusters has video of last night's performance of Obama at the WHCD. They claim he used the "F-word" when doing the joke about Biden telling him this was a "big F***in' meal." What's hilarious about the attempt to smear him is that they claim he whispered the "F-word" and that one recording just happened to bleep too early and caught it.

The only way they could doctor the video, and if you watch it, it's so obvious they DID, was for someone to whisper the word so they didn't have to try to imitate his voice. The word is whispered at about :40 (40 seconds into the video). I saw this on the freeper site and every one of them, not surprisingly, believed it was authentic and called him "classless" and much worse. Strange that no reporters/anchors who were there would mention such a thing! :rofl: http://newsbusters.org/node/38343/print

1. The video they're showing is from the official WH YT page...

So I don't think it's edited.

Unless someone at the WH added the whisper.

But it sounds like he's saying freaking.

Not fucking.

2. Oops. Then I look stupid to say it was doctored. But you're right...
he had to have said "freakin'" or SOMEONE in the media would've commented on his "salty language." It was clearly meant to SEEM like he used the "F-word" but it's also clear, to ME, that he DIDN'T.

They bleeped early, but he was whispering "freaking" - I found it hilarious they bleeped as IF he would actually dare say the "f" bomb knowing this was all going to be on television...geeze, some people~

5. There's no way that people like Joe and Mika on MSNBC wouldn't mention it if he DID say
it. He obviously did NOT use THE F-word.

This is not a matter of opinion and furthermore it is not a big fucking deal.

13. The only difference...
is that Cheney said it in a malicious manner. But I really have no problem with that either, as I have told a lot of people to go fuck themselves.
