TRENDING: Obama: They talk about me like a dog
Posted: September 6th, 2010 03:52 PM ET
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
______________________
(CNN) – Those following President Obama's prepared remarks during a speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Monday were thrown a bit of a curveball when it came to a description of his critics:
"Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they're not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That's not in my prepared remarks, but it's true," he told a crowd largely consisting of union members.
The line was a rare departure from a president who normally sticks close to the text of his speech and may forecast a more aggressive tone on the part of Obama as the midterms approach.
The address is the first of two speeches this week in which Obama will try and frame his administration's response to the recession, less than two months ahead of midterm elections where Democratic majorities in the House and Senate are on the ropes.

This little rambling cry baby stuff without the tie is beyond unpresidential. Its like a drunk community organizer stirring up the hood to start a riot at Freddy's.

This is a one term president. You can take that to the bank. And dont think that I dont have a sufficiently dark view of the electorate. If he were only half the disaster that he is (which would still be a lot) he could still win re-election. But the embarassing gaffes, the screw ups, the policy disasters, the unpresidential demeanor, and the disconnect with the American people have become so much that not even the dependent leeches are going to be able to put him back into office.

He must know he is a dog to make that comment. truth hurts. Have been a democrat for 46 years, but after that idiot got in office, I changed to the real party- republican! I have never seen such an egotistical, self-centered person who always blames everyone else for his mistakes
WOW!!! Obama is the best thing to ever happen to Conservatives.

The Dog Daze of a Presidency
michellemalkin.com ^ | 9/6/10 | Doug Powers
________________________ ________________________ _
President Obama apparently strayed off-prompter briefly Monday. This somewhat whiny reference seems like something that would come from a politician exhausted by marathon campaigning and beaten down by the opposition, which is odd for someone whose party is still in control of Washington and who spent the better part of the summer on vacation:
Obama was in Milwaukee to speak at the Milwaukee Laborfest, attended by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. He used the speech to promote his $50 billion infrastructure plan and to criticize Republicans ahead of crucial midterm elections.
“Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they’re not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That’s not in my prepared remarks, but it’s true,” he told the union crowd. If by “like a dog” Obama means that every one year of his presidency feels like seven, I’m forced to agree with him. Otherwise it’s a little insulting, if for no other reason than that there are many breeds of dogs that could run the country at a lower unemployment rate.
How exactly does one talk about somebody like a dog? Or are the “powerful interests” talking to a dog — or are they speaking as a dog? Are the “powerful interests” dog haters? Are the “powerful interests” democrats who are trying to get re-elected? It’s anybody’s guess.

immature.
the real news here is that obama went off the prompter.
I was thinking about this the other day.
What ever happened to this as an issue? I don't understand why it was dropped all of a sudden.
Surely he still uses a teleprompter for some speeches.

Even Chris Matthews said the use of teleprompter is one of Obamas' main problems. however, that puts Obama in a tough spot since without the teleprompter, he is a rambling fool prone to saying the most idiotic things that don't comport with the media narrative of him being some transformational brilliant genius, WHICH HE IS NOT, NEVER WAS, NOR WILL EVER BE.

You would literally have to shoot my in the back of the head point blank to keep me from voting for whoever runs against him, Palin included in 2012.

How many times can this fool talk about republicans drove the economy in the ditch and now they want the keys back?Every freaking week its the same thing.ESPECIALLY when he is front of a crowd of blacks or union morons and notice the black preacher voice was back yesterday.Think he will use that at next weeks press conferance?
Republicans drove the economy into the ditch but Obama and his tranny wife took their dicks out and pissed all over it before burrying it for the next ten years.

President-Elect Obama May Get a Mutt 'Like Me'

President-Elect Barack Obama
Charles Dharapak/AP
________________________ ________________________
The main topic of the day was the economy, but President-elect Barack Obama did say Friday, at his first press conference since his election, that he is dealing with a topic close to home.
"With respect to the dog," said Obama, "this is a major issue." He said it has generated the most interest on his Web site, but before a new addition is made to the family, "two criteria that have to be reconciled."
One is that elder daughter Malia, 10, "is allergic, so it has to be hypoallergenic." The other is that "our preference would be to get a shelter dog," which would point to the possiblity of a mixed breed, or, as Obama said, "a mutt, like me."

I read it and most of it is gossip and the author is already backtracking on stuff he wrote.
And guess what ? I never said I want her for Prez, I want Thune first, however, if she runs and gets the nod, I will campain and volutneer for her.
While she is what she is, she is not a marxist/socialist intent on transforming the nation into some communist hell hole like Obama wants.

it's impossible for repubs to shit on obama for the teleprompter - without dems bringing up the hypocrisy of 'redneck palm pilot' palin mocking obama for it while reading simple notes from her hand.
until she is no longer the de facto face of the repub party - and she is folks, thanks to fox and msn alike - the teleprompter issue is a nonstarter.
(plus, we gotta remember obama had no prompter for 22 hilary debates and 3 mccain debates, and he handled their shit pretty easily...)

240 still owes me a huge apology over the failed Stim Bill

i agreed it was a failure on more things than it was a success - even after you failed to tell me why the iraq war was a success, despite taking WAY more lives and $ and time than predicted.
an apology? really?

The cost of the Iraq war was a drop in the bucket compared to what Obama has spent on wasteful policies.

Michelle Mallkin makes me so horny that I can do weighted pull ups with my cock after reading one of her columns.

Barry's a fairly smart guy and politically savvy even though I don't agree with him on most issues. I think he was underestimated the first time around and that may be to his advantage in the next election. The Republicans still need to put together a strong, unified, cohesive message.

just like on this thread, which has turned in a j/o malkin thread, it's okay to mention that she went to th overseas press to bash the official 911 story, and was one of the original truthers - long before the loose change kids.
The biggest tragedy in american history, and she bashes those victims by doubting the official story - and she has to go overseas to do it?

WHY WE TREAT OBAMA LIKE A DOG
by Ben Shapiro
President Obama certainly has it ruff these days. With his approval ratings plummeting and both the House and the Senate trending Republican, he must feel like he's been put in the doghouse. Even members of his own party are attacking him; Chris Matthews, his designated chew toy, has even come out against the beloved teleprompter. In short, nobody seems willing to throw Obama a bone.
Which is why this week, President Obama, while pumping his rehashed and tiresome economic agenda -- an agenda that apparently consists of yelling "stimulus!" repeatedly, then throwing cash in the air and smiling -- he intoned, "Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they're not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That's not in my prepared remarks, but it's true."
Actually, it's not true. The only person who has ever likened President Obama to a dog is President Obama, who once declared that he was a "mutt" and a member of a "mongrel people." Obama's language brings to mind uncomfortable comparisons with Old Yeller, who was "an ugly, lop-eared mongrel, fancy free without a family tree." The comparison is uncomfortable because Obama is not, in fact, the best doggone dog in the West. He is the worst doggone dog in the East, accepting the mantle from the late Marley.
In reality, there's a reason nobody has compared Obama to a dog: dogs are likeable. They are friendly and loyal. They are man's best friend, as opposed to King Abdullah's best friend.
But let's take Obama at his word. If we're treating Obama "like a dog" -- and let's assume he means "Stone Free" Jimi Hendrix-style -- it's because he deserves it. If Obama were a dog, he'd be a bad dog. The kind of dog that routinely drinks from the toilet, and simply will not be taught that drinking from the toilet is bad manners (think Obama on health care). The kind of dog that barks at all hours of the night, just for attention (think Obama's pathetic need for constant adulation). The kind of dog that runs from intruders when danger's in the air (think Obama on Iraq, Iran, Russia, North Korea, China -- hell, just think about Obama's position on any country that isn't an American ally). The kind of dog that chews on the furniture out of pure spite (if Obama's actually going to chew on the furniture, by the way, let me be the first to suggest he start with the new, hideous Oval Office accoutrements).
If Obama's a dog, he's a puppy that has never been housebroken, whose owner continually babies it and never requires basic standards of behavior. President Obama has never had to make a living; he has never had to face the consequences of his behavior, whether that behavior is hanging out with terrorists, doing cocaine, or attending a racist church for 20 years. He's never been held accountable. Finally, he's being held accountable. He doesn't like it, so he's rhetorically urinating in the middle of the living room.
Obama, like a bad puppy, acts badly because he doesn't recognize that he's not in the true position of authority. The American people stand above him. He is a public servant, a servant of our will. He seems not to believe that -- in fact, he thinks that America's the dog, he's the master, and he can simply order Americans to agree with him. He's utterly disconnected from reality.
In short, Obama has to learn to obey the American public. If not, we'll continue to treat him like a bad dog. Only worse, since he refuses to learn. And in November, he'll find out that bad dogs don't get any electoral Scooby treats.

Good article.
BTW - I was watching Morning Joe this morning and they played a clip of Obama bashing John Boehner by name in his own town, time after time after time.
1. I never remember George Bush ever acting so petty and childish as Obama does. He is a sad, immature, unsubstantial, joke of a "man".
2. How can Obama possibly expect the GOP to work with him if they take over the house and/or senate when he pulls these stunts? And then Obama has the balls to complain like a bitch when people call him out and bash him?
WTF is wrong with him? How can someone possibly be this stupid?

Really?Is this thread about Malkin?I thought it was about Obama saying "they talk about me like a dog".So,your now the guy who decides what relevant in a thread and posts.Thanks,but keep it to yourself.You put Palin in every thread,I will continue to counter that by posting Joe "the dumbest man in the history of the senate " Bidens stupidity.

"1. I never remember George Bush ever acting so petty and childish as Obama does. He is a sad, immature, unsubstantial, joke of a "man"."

how many clips did you see of bush giggling? Remember him 'looking for WMD in couch cushions'?
I mean, 4400 dead americans in their graves - and Bush is smirking while looking for WMD in white house couch cushions?
yes, obama is an immature drama queen... but bush spant a fortune in blood and $ to fun d that war -and he mocked it like that? Obama whining about words... bush laughing about death... way bigger there.

What does Bush have to do with anything?
Are you simply incapable of having a discussion without bringing up either Bush or Palin?
Give it up already - Bush is roundly derided as one of the worst POTUS' ever and the best you can do for your hero is make a moral equivalence from someone you consider one of the worst?
-
My statement was that yes, obama is immature. it's something about being president - they become so full of themselves, so egotistical that they think shit is funny - when it's not.
Bush and clinton both did it. they both acted like smug jackasses when they should have been serious and reserved like reagan and bushh1 behaved. Bring some damn professionalism back to the job, ya know? the last 3 presidnts have been highly unprofessional, it's that simple.
-
More and more people agree with you.

Obama Accepting Untraceable Donations
Contributions Reviewed After Deposits
By Matthew Mosk
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity, campaign officials confirmed.
Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged. Instead, the campaign is scrutinizing its books for improper donations after the money has been deposited.
The Obama organization said its extensive review has ensured that the campaign has refunded any improper contributions, and noted that Federal Election Commission rules do not require front-end screening of donations.
In recent weeks, questionable contributions have created headaches for Obama's accounting team as it has tried to explain why campaign finance filings have included itemized donations from individuals using fake names, such as Es Esh or Doodad Pro. Those revelations prompted conservative bloggers to further test Obama's finance vetting by giving money using the kind of prepaid cards that can be bought at a drugstore and cannot be traced to a donor.
The problem with such cards, campaign finance lawyers said, is that they make it impossible to tell whether foreign nationals, donors who have exceeded the limits, government contractors or others who are barred from giving to a federal campaign are making contributions.
"They have opened the floodgates to all this money coming in," said Sean Cairncross, chief counsel to the Republican National Committee. "I think they've made the determination that whatever money they have to refund on the back end doesn't outweigh the benefit of taking all this money upfront."
The Obama campaign has shattered presidential fundraising records, in part by capitalizing on the ease of online giving. Of the $150 million the senator from Illinois raised in September, nearly $100 million came in over the Internet.
Lawyers for the Obama operation said yesterday that their "extensive back-end review" has carefully scrubbed contributions to prevent illegal money from entering the operation's war chest. "I'm pretty sure if I took my error rate and matched it against any other campaign or comparable nonprofit, you'd find we're doing very well," said Robert Bauer, a lawyer for the campaign. "I have not seen the McCain compliance staff ascending to heaven on a cloud."
The Obama team's disclosures came in response to questions from The Washington Post about the case of Mary T. Biskup, a retired insurance manager from Manchester, Mo., who turned up on Obama's FEC reports as having donated $174,800 to the campaign. Contributors are limited to giving $2,300 for the general election.
Biskup, who had scores of Obama contributions attributed to her, said in an interview that she never donated to the candidate. "That's an error," she said. Moreover, she added, her credit card was never billed for the donations, meaning someone appropriated her name and made the contributions with another card.
When asked whether the campaign takes steps to verify whether a donor's name matches the name on the credit card used to make a payment, Obama's campaign replied in an e-mail: "Name-matching is not a standard check conducted or made available in the credit card processing industry. We believe Visa and MasterCard do not even have the ability to do this.
"Instead, the campaign does a rigorous comprehensive analysis of online contributions on the back end of the transaction to determine whether a contribution is legitimate."
Juan Proaño, whose technology firm handled online contributions for John Edwards's presidential primary campaign, and for John F. Kerry's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2004, said it is possible to require donors' names and addresses to match those on their credit card accounts. But, he said, some campaigns are reluctant to impose that extra layer of security.
"Honestly, you want to have the least amount of hurdles in processing contributions quickly," Proaño said.
Sen. John McCain's campaign has also had questionable donations slip through.
Dan Pfeiffer, Obama's communication's director, said that "no organization can fully insulate itself from these problems. The McCain campaign has accepted contributions from fraudulent contributors like 'A for You,' 'Adorable Manabat,' 'The Gun Shop,' and 'Jesus II' and hundreds of anonymous donors."
But R. Rebecca Donatelli, who handles online contributions for the McCain operation and the RNC, said security measures have been standard in the GOP nominee's fundraising efforts throughout the campaign. She said she was "flabbergasted" to learn that the Obama campaign accepts prepaid cards.
"Yes, a gift card would go through the same process as a regular credit card and be subject to our same back-end review," the Obama campaign said in its response to questions about the use of such cards.
Campaign finance lawyers said there is a long history of debate within the FEC about how to ensure that donors use their own credit cards.
Election lawyer Brett Kappel said the FEC has never grappled with the question of cash cards. "The whole system is set up for them to accept the payment, then determine whether it is legal or not. And if it's not, send it back. That's what the statute requires," he said.
