Obama, a Chicago resident, now supports the 2nd amendment?
That kind of talk is like a big monkey beating his chest to scare his opponent. It’s all so much fluff.
Obama is worried now that the dust is settling and his fight is no long with his own people, but his enemies on the other side of the fence.
I am still waiting for O’Bama to show up on O’Reilly.
And if Iran brings a nuke to the fight? what will he bring then?
Good for Obama dont americans look for a President to be tough?
He is just posturing and waiting for the typical republican “swiftboat” attack.
Why is he so tough with Republican’s and so soft on enemies of the US?
Could it be (ahem) because they hate Republicans more than transnational socialists and Islamofascists?
Any guesses?
But, but, I thought that Obama was ‘all about change’ and how America was going to change and wasn’t going to be tough and militant and how it was all going to be talk and negotiation and singing of songs and..
RoC (or should I write RoP?): Your center is in the bowels of dead Lenin. Thus, right of Lenin is, let me guess, Stalin or Che?
This tactic is a pre-emptive strike to deter any criticism of Obama’s inexperience, which will be spun as “negative.” It won’t work.
How laughable is that little weenie using tough talk with a man who can’t lift his arms above his head because of the physical torture he endured for 5 years without a whimper.
Obama is a little mommy’s boy who probably used plastic scissors all of his childhood.
Is Barack Hussein Obama talking about the election or is he talking about hangin’out in da’hood with his homeys?

I will make you a deal Doug I will not make personal attacks on you or any other member of this board.
It may suprise you but there are many issues on this site that you and I agree on. If we always agreed would this site be worth coming to?
I am not of agreement that every persons opnion has to be an absolute left or right.
I dont wish to be another Bolik and let my conversation be misdirected towards personal attacks. Let’s discuss and if we dont agree at least we should agree that living in the free world is worth practising those freedoms.
Very presidential Barry … very.

RoC – If the ‘Dems’ have something on McCain and want to ‘draw him out’, then having Obama talk about violence, when his whole image-presentation has been about Change (and that includes violent responses to terrorism)..it doesn’t make sense.
First, the Democrat strategy ought to be to retain Obama’s image as non-violent, and have someone else do the ‘drawing out’.
Second, what possible unusual reaction from McCain could there be to such a provocation, of suggesting violent actions will be met with violence? That’s exactly what McCain says anyway.
I fink dat John Ma Cain has done gotta gun.
I believe it is called a “metaphor” people
Metaphor or not, that’s a threat of violence. And especially GUN violence! How come Bambi hasn’t previously talked about his violent gun culture side? Is that why he wants to disarm Americans – because he’s projecting his own violent uncontrollable impulses on everybody else? This guy scares the hell out of me.
Obama is win or loose I do ot belive americna has too many good option this year
how about take all two together it is too late we need to change USA to have two to run countires or may be USA need politican people can care and trust them with new funding no conspriracy and corruption again who know this american why behave like this

He’s talking like someone from the gangs, and that isn’t the way his white Grandma brought him up. Now he’s discovered when you’re running for President of the U.S. of A. the big boys can play rough. He’s not tough and after a bit of rough bantering, he’s immediately forgotten his new way of doing business, of civility and dialogue, and reaching across the aisles in a non-partisanship way. With his ‘don’t mess with my wife, bro’, and all the other untouchable areas he has around him, he’ll never be able to stand up to America’s enemies, and by now they have already assessed his weaknesses.
I’m trying to picture him among a gang of tough teenagers staring each other down with: you bring out a knife and we’ll bring out a gun. It’s not his level and it certainly won’t work against John McCain, who has already stared down the tough and rough guys.
Obama’s not ready for this fight and would be better off spending the next four years toughening himself up by watching John Wayne movies. 😉
Right of centre, no one is missing the metaphor here. And, what would they on find on McCain after all of the years he’s been in the Senate? He’s pretty much an open book, Obama on the other hand…..Rev. Wright, his Muslim polygamist dad, William Ayers, and, I’m sure more surprises to come.
“I believe it is called a “metaphor” people”
It’s the choice of metaphor that’s revealing, idiot boy.
I think the republicans will play the card “Obama is a muslim” to scare americans.
What a shame.
Ooh, Bambi watched the Untouchables and knows all about the “Chicago” way.
The guy is about as intimidating as a hamster.
For those who may not be aware, Haye is an exchange student from another planet. He has no idea what is happening here on earth, but likes to babble on unintelligibly about it just to feel he is participating.
We can sum up by saying he hates the West and loves Islam. He also hates good grammar and spelling. In fact my guess is that he hates just about everything that isn’t specifically part of Mohammad’s to-do list.
AQS – what do you mean – ‘what a shame’. That Obama is actually Muslim? Or is not a genuine Christian? Or is not an atheist? Or is actually anti-American? Or was a member of a ‘church’ or sect that was violently anti-American?
The problem with Obama is that he’s ‘all rhetoric’. As RoC suggests, ‘it’s a metaphor’. Yes, but Obama doesn’t go beyond the words that make up a metaphor.
Life isn’t lived within words but within actions. And Obama’s ‘strength’ is his ability with words. Words, words, words.
And that’s all he’s done. Words about ‘change’ but no policies. Change from what to what? How? Why? Just because?
Words about his mythic past, his father, his grandmother who was afraid of ‘big black guys’. Words about his church, that church that specialized in anti-American rhetorid.
The problem with Obama is that he lives his life entirely within words. A president can’t do that; a president has to take action. Obama’s ‘gun’ word is just..a word. He doesn’t have the innate nature to take action; he’s someone who talks and talks and ….
Shaken at 10:46 AM asks: “And if Iran brings a nuke to the fight? what will he bring then?
Mark Steyn, Canada’s soon-to-be most famous “hate-criminal”, aka celebrated journalist in the rest of the free world, writes: “No doubt if it all goes belly-up, and Iran winds up nuking Tel Aviv, President Obama will put on his more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger face and announce solemnly that “this isn’t the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad I knew.” http://tinyurl.com/3p4qhp
Guys… I keep telling you Obama will get destroyed in the November election…..talk to anyone who has been to the USA and nobody can find anyone who supports this left wing commie…..the only thing that is driving him in the media and since when have they ever won a battle against average Americans…this is going to be so delightful in November watching the networks explain what happens and why did Obama a Wama lose the election and where do the Democratics go from here…There is a God in Heaven who looks after the good people….
ROC,
ET nailed it, but let me put it in a pop-cultural vernacular you may be more familiar with:
In the TV drama West Wing, President Bartlett lays waste to his political opponent by identifying the crucial “ten word answer”. Essentially exposing blithe rhetoric. He asks “give me the next ten words and I’ll support you”. Obama refuses to ever give the “next ten words”, and I posit that he simply doesn’t have the mental accuity and moral compass to ever do so.
Is that dumbed down enough yet?

Obama forgot to add “… after the 5-day waiting period”.
Barack Obama celebrated Father’s Day by calling on black fathers, who he said are “missing from too many lives and too many homes,” http://www.cnn.com/
He is one racist son of a b*tch! What about white or latino dead beat dads? America can celebrate the fact that possibly their next American president will represent 12% of the population.
And if Israel takes out Iran’s all-for-peaceful-purposes nuclear capability,Obama will say……..
…….let us all join hands and hearts together for peace….Ten empty words.

‘ And if Israel takes out Iran’s all-for-peaceful-purposes nuclear capability,Obama will say…….. ‘
for sake of argument let start to think every day Iran seat and made nuclear weapon and you are right always get direction from Isreal to what to do next in Middle east
imagine you see 5 years old silly boy keep the matches in his hand and ready to start fire
what you do do you treat smal boy if you open fire i slap your face to stop his job
or you go slowly calmy close to boy without harrass or scare him and try to take big matches from him
Iran is embargo for more than 25 years all the happeinse are gone 8 year war with iraq and all neighborhood of Iran such as Afanistan and Paksitn and Iraq and russia and Turkey are more strange than Iran
then there is too many treat Iranina my feel so as America toward iran
why not get close to them and cut embargo and get some economicalbenfit get started and then theywill listen more to do or do not
Iran are not listen to USA because of not trust Bush at any shape
then USA must step back
need France and such as Canada to talk to Iran
start softly close to them and not scare them and with politic of communication stop their wrong if there system look suspicious
this method of Bush with Iran is not going to work and made more trouble since American has cultue fo diffenrece talk wtih Iranian
since iran not like USA
today people kill by gun not by nuclear weapon
then what USA try to scare of world about Iran is not real it is execuse to bother them and force tehm to listen
USA start ask somthing they are not give to them
then give themsomething and agaisn ask the same question indireclty from other souce they will listen to them
England and USA loose credit in region of middle east we need other third party I recomanded let Canada and France talk busins first then ask nuclear talk which is not priorty
why peopel get directed from Isreal in region are wrong if Isreal was right policy never let Jewish die everyday in their city then their policyis wrong and their ledership is not welcome in region because tehy could stop their own war with ehir next negibhor how can teach otehr what to do
all big countries such as USA, China, Russia, Canada should divid thier word seperate from each otehr let help otehre small countris and not have it all and loose it all as USA policy directed in past 10 years I am watching
if USA is not good mediator for IRAN chnage them with new person talk to Iran to join Iran with rest of the world to have safty and security in region
Iran kind of racist people they think they know better than others in region
Iranina not like Arab culture mix with relgion such as Arab culture food all are diffeent thatn muslim law sometimes
Isreali also kind of racist people
I am not value race but Iraina and Jewih in middle east are racist but not say it this must balance to all have freedom not one over others like past to fix thiswrong mentality
Iran is Shia muslim religen are minority in region
Isreali is Jewish relgion are minority in region
Iran is 65 million population
Isreali 5 million and in world are 30 million Jewish live
Iran care about its neighbors such as russia, turkey and Pakistan
except Afganstan and Iraq still in internal civil war Iran kept more security neighbour around its border
on other hand Isreali-USA policy did not Isreal policy fail in Palatin lebanan and other neighbor of Isreal
who should listen to how?
Iran like safty and security of neighbor and notlike to see anymore war in Lebanan and Palstin this must stop and resolve first
not resoleve yet
2) internal of Iran sanction need to stop let Iranina see better econmyand buy and sell thier resources to grow Iran too need goodlinkhere notresolve yet
3) Iran like to link wih Iraq for Shia and not like Iraq goes like Dubai or Saudi under American pressure sell drink and pork in Muslim counttires
Iran look for another Islamic state
Iran want freedom of Isamic state not get presure by USA to be chrisitan orjewsih state to rule Isalm law not them although Iraninan are differne than Afagnistan and Sauditoo
4) FINAL steps to how middel east oil and resource get or not get advanatage by USA may their scientist findnew source ofenergy to not bother middle east anymore for their resourcs by pressure of gun
5) eliminate extra gun control in Middle east region is final steps is such as nuclear weapon
some condition Canada can get in muddy river:
Canada can benefit work with scinec in Iran is high to import expert Iranina to Canada to help them become indepent or lessindepend in new source of engery by study phd in Candain university
Canada can give all 5 stepes mediation with Iran and gain contract with Iraninan for use hier smart population of Iranian use Canadian leadership if hey can get it they need help from indirect France and England to do so
Jewish can live in peacein their state like Jewish live in Canada in peace
it work in Canada can workinregion too
but start communication overnuclear before all other steps done is wrong direction USA force it because USA try to boss of Muslim and they are not welcome to do so
Obama can help balance all condition and let bring peace in region for once if he able to educate himself with tehier culture
black culture are kind hearty people are good communicatore but maynot active only talk it nice America need group to act itthis time need otehr party to involve with region it may win the middle easter arab and nonarab
if Iran and Isreal-USA are not pulling theri power but keep thier freedom with border the region will get peace or less likly we canget
peace soon power and money so far cost so many people died this mentaly for freedom in regionmust stop this year soon both ideas so far were wrong
Morgan Smith – ‘Metaphor’ misses the mark in this quote: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” because there is not a comparison in that quote -in fact, there is no metaphor in the old saying “don’t take a knife to a gun fight” , the template for Obama’s attempt at being ‘folksy’. The latter is folk wisdom through understatement; that is, making a valid point by painting a colorful picture with words. The Obama quote is empty of meaning because anyone with a grain of sense would take a gun to a knife fight; if they had a gun. The reason for using the original saying is to warn young(and old) hotheads that they should not attack a much superior force using inferior weapons.
A metaphor makes a direct comparison eg. ‘Iggy is a Puffin’….because he has the traits of a Puffin. ‘Iggy is like a Puffin’ or Iggy is Puffin-like’ is a less direct comparison, this figure of speech is called a Simile. Personification gives human-like attributes to something not human; “The Puffin in Parliament shook his yellow beak in fury, let some offal fly from somewhere just above his perch, then shifted his claws to shove his offense under the red carpet; this was a Puffin very unhappy on his nice comfy eiderdown – he wanted to soar with the Eagles and he found himself nesting in a flock of turkeys”
What is the comparison in Obama’s quote?
Folks! Don’t you recognize Sarcasm! I think the LEFT side of the Supreme Court has leaked the 2nd Amendment decision! I hope that news has Obama’s elite group, of Lawyers, unhappy.
Exactly where would Barack get the gun. His handlers and finicial supporters have already decided that it isn’t even safe to let him run with scissors.
Sounds like a future movie about Obama to me, in the genre of “Dances With Wolves”: “Runs With Scissors”.
Let’s see, 5 years ago Obama was a state senator whose job was to see that potholes got fixed, bridges named, and food stamps gotten by individual families, oh yeah, and toasting anti American terrorists who had attempted an armed overthrow of the US govt.
But that is “swift boating” I am not sure that the “swift boaters” ever got refuted. Maybe individual points were disputed, but Kerry had to take back his most colorful claims, for instance, that he was in Cambodia, on Christmas, which he wasn’t. I guess he got that idea from the movie Apocolypse Now!. So, if by “swift boating” you refer to people point stuff out that the candidate would prefer to not see the light of day, then yes, expect swift boating.
Obama, a Chicago resident, now supports the 2nd amendment?
That kind of talk is like a big monkey beating his chest to scare his opponent. It’s all so much fluff.
Obama is worried now that the dust is settling and his fight is no long with his own people, but his enemies on the other side of the fence.
I am still waiting for O’Bama to show up on O’Reilly.
And if Iran brings a nuke to the fight? what will he bring then?
Good for Obama dont americans look for a President to be tough?
He is just posturing and waiting for the typical republican “swiftboat” attack.
Why is he so tough with Republican’s and so soft on enemies of the US?
Could it be (ahem) because they hate Republicans more than transnational socialists and Islamofascists?
Any guesses?

The problem with Obama is that he’s ‘all rhetoric’. As RoC suggests, ‘it’s a metaphor’. Yes, but Obama doesn’t go beyond the words that make up a metaphor.
Life isn’t lived within words but within actions. And Obama’s ‘strength’ is his ability with words. Words, words, words.
And that’s all he’s done. Words about ‘change’ but no policies. Change from what to what? How? Why? Just because?
Words about his mythic past, his father, his grandmother who was afraid of ‘big black guys’. Words about his church, that church that specialized in anti-American rhetorid.
The problem with Obama is that he lives his life entirely within words. A president can’t do that; a president has to take action. Obama’s ‘gun’ word is just..a word. He doesn’t have the innate nature to take action; he’s someone who talks and talks and ….
Hey Howie Meeker, I had the exact same thought!

Heh, with every passing day, Princess Obambi sounds more and more like the most stereotypical kind of Cook County political hack. So much for Change and Hope.
Shaken at 10:46 AM asks: “And if Iran brings a nuke to the fight? what will he bring then?
Mark Steyn, Canada’s soon-to-be most famous “hate-criminal”, aka celebrated journalist in the rest of the free world, writes:
“No doubt if it all goes belly-up, and Iran winds up nuking Tel Aviv, President Obama will put on his more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger face and announce solemnly that “this isn’t the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad I knew.”

Guys… I keep telling you Obama will get destroyed in the November election…..talk to anyone who has been to the USA and nobody can find anyone who supports this left wing commie…..the only thing that is driving him in the media and since when have they ever won a battle against average Americans…this is going to be so delightful in November watching the networks explain what happens and why did Obama a Wama lose the election and where do the Democratics go from here…There is a God in Heaven who looks after the good people….
ROC,
ET nailed it, but let me put it in a pop-cultural vernacular you may be more familiar with:
In the TV drama West Wing, President Bartlett lays waste to his political opponent by identifying the crucial “ten word answer”. Essentially exposing blithe rhetoric. He asks “give me the next ten words and I’ll support you”. Obama refuses to ever give the “next ten words”, and I posit that he simply doesn’t have the mental accuity and moral compass to ever do so.
Is that dumbed down enough yet?

Obama forgot to add “… after the 5-day waiting period”.
Barack Obama celebrated Father’s Day by calling on black fathers, who he said are “missing from too many lives and too many homes,”

He is one racist son of a b*tch! What about white or latino dead beat dads? America can celebrate the fact that possibly their next American president will represent 12% of the population.
And if Israel takes out Iran’s all-for-peaceful-purposes nuclear capability,Obama will say……..
…….let us all join hands and hearts together for peace….Ten empty words.

Haye,
If you have a watermellon fetish, keep it to yourself.

‘ And if Israel takes out Iran’s all-for-peaceful-purposes nuclear capability,Obama will say…….. ‘
for sake of argument let start to think every day Iran seat and made nuclear weapon and you are right always get direction from Isreal to what to do next in Middle east
imagine you see 5 years old silly boy keep the matches in his hand and ready to start fire
what you do do you treat smal boy if you open fire i slap your face to stop his job
or you go slowly calmy close to boy without harrass or scare him and try to take big matches from him
Iran is embargo for more than 25 years all the happeinse are gone 8 year war with iraq and all neighborhood of Iran such as Afanistan and Paksitn and Iraq and russia and Turkey are more strange than Iran
then there is too many treat Iranina my feel so as America toward iran
why not get close to them and cut embargo and get some economicalbenfit get started and then theywill listen more to do or do not
Iran are not listen to USA because of not trust Bush at any shape
then USA must step back
need France and such as Canada to talk to Iran
start softly close to them and not scare them and with politic of communication stop their wrong if there system look suspicious
this method of Bush with Iran is not going to work and made more trouble since American has cultue fo diffenrece talk wtih Iranian
since iran not like USA
today people kill by gun not by nuclear weapon
then what USA try to scare of world about Iran is not real it is execuse to bother them and force tehm to listen
USA start ask somthing they are not give to them
then give themsomething and agaisn ask the same question indireclty from other souce they will listen to them
England and USA loose credit in region of middle east we need other third party I recomanded let Canada and France talk busins first then ask nuclear talk which is not priorty
why peopel get directed from Isreal in region are wrong if Isreal was right policy never let Jewish die everyday in their city then their policyis wrong and their ledership is not welcome in region because tehy could stop their own war with ehir next negibhor how can teach otehr what to do
all big countries such as USA, China, Russia, Canada should divid thier word seperate from each otehr let help otehre small countris and not have it all and loose it all as USA policy directed in past 10 years I am watching
if USA is not good mediator for IRAN chnage them with new person talk to Iran to join Iran with rest of the world to have safty and security in region
Iran kind of racist people they think they know better than others in region
Iranina not like Arab culture mix with relgion such as Arab culture food all are diffeent thatn muslim law sometimes
Isreali also kind of racist people
I am not value race but Iraina and Jewih in middle east are racist but not say it this must balance to all have freedom not one over others like past to fix thiswrong mentality
Iran is Shia muslim religen are minority in region
Isreali is Jewish relgion are minority in region
Iran is 65 million population
Isreali 5 million and in world are 30 million Jewish live
Iran care about its neighbors such as russia, turkey and Pakistan
except Afganstan and Iraq still in internal civil war Iran kept more security neighbour around its border
on other hand Isreali-USA policy did not Isreal policy fail in Palatin lebanan and other neighbor of Isreal
who should listen to how?
Iran like safty and security of neighbor and notlike to see anymore war in Lebanan and Palstin this must stop and resolve first
not resoleve yet
2) internal of Iran sanction need to stop let Iranina see better econmyand buy and sell thier resources to grow Iran too need goodlinkhere notresolve yet
3) Iran like to link wih Iraq for Shia and not like Iraq goes like Dubai or Saudi under American pressure sell drink and pork in Muslim counttires
Iran look for another Islamic state
Iran want freedom of Isamic state not get presure by USA to be chrisitan orjewsih state to rule Isalm law not them although Iraninan are differne than Afagnistan and Sauditoo
4) FINAL steps to how middel east oil and resource get or not get advanatage by USA may their scientist findnew source ofenergy to not bother middle east anymore for their resourcs by pressure of gun
5) eliminate extra gun control in Middle east region is final steps is such as nuclear weapon
some condition Canada can get in muddy river:
Canada can benefit work with scinec in Iran is high to import expert Iranina to Canada to help them become indepent or lessindepend in new source of engery by study phd in Candain university
Canada can give all 5 stepes mediation with Iran and gain contract with Iraninan for use hier smart population of Iranian use Canadian leadership if hey can get it they need help from indirect France and England to do so
Jewish can live in peacein their state like Jewish live in Canada in peace
it work in Canada can workinregion too
but start communication overnuclear before all other steps done is wrong direction USA force it because USA try to boss of Muslim and they are not welcome to do so
Obama can help balance all condition and let bring peace in region for once if he able to educate himself with tehier culture
black culture are kind hearty people are good communicatore but maynot active only talk it nice America need group to act itthis time need otehr party to involve with region it may win the middle easter arab and nonarab
if Iran and Isreal-USA are not pulling theri power but keep thier freedom with border the region will get peace or less likly we canget
peace soon power and money so far cost so many people died this mentaly for freedom in regionmust stop this year soon both ideas so far were wrong
Morgan Smith – ‘Metaphor’ misses the mark in this quote: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” because there is not a comparison in that quote -in fact, there is no metaphor in the old saying “don’t take a knife to a gun fight” , the template for Obama’s attempt at being ‘folksy’. The latter is folk wisdom through understatement; that is, making a valid point by painting a colorful picture with words. The Obama quote is empty of meaning because anyone with a grain of sense would take a gun to a knife fight; if they had a gun. The reason for using the original saying is to warn young(and old) hotheads that they should not attack a much superior force using inferior weapons.
A metaphor makes a direct comparison eg. ‘Iggy is a Puffin’….because he has the traits of a Puffin. ‘Iggy is like a Puffin’ or Iggy is Puffin-like’ is a less direct comparison, this figure of speech is called a Simile. Personification gives human-like attributes to something not human; “The Puffin in Parliament shook his yellow beak in fury, let some offal fly from somewhere just above his perch, then shifted his claws to shove his offense under the red carpet; this was a Puffin very unhappy on his nice comfy eiderdown – he wanted to soar with the Eagles and he found himself nesting in a flock of turkeys”
What is the comparison in Obama’s quote?
Folks! Don’t you recognize Sarcasm! I think the LEFT side of the Supreme Court has leaked the 2nd Amendment decision! I hope that news has Obama’s elite group, of Lawyers, unhappy.
Exactly where would Barack get the gun. His handlers and finicial supporters have already decided that it isn’t even safe to let him run with scissors.
Sounds like a future movie about Obama to me, in the genre of “Dances With Wolves”: “Runs With Scissors”.
Let’s see, 5 years ago Obama was a state senator whose job was to see that potholes got fixed, bridges named, and food stamps gotten by individual families, oh yeah, and toasting anti American terrorists who had attempted an armed overthrow of the US govt.
But that is “swift boating” I am not sure that the “swift boaters” ever got refuted. Maybe individual points were disputed, but Kerry had to take back his most colorful claims, for instance, that he was in Cambodia, on Christmas, which he wasn’t. I guess he got that idea from the movie Apocolypse Now!. So, if by “swift boating” you refer to people point stuff out that the candidate would prefer to not see the light of day, then yes, expect swift boating.
Jeez, Barry! Are you aware of what McCain was actually packing the last time he got into a fight?

Just face it – Obama is going to win. And there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
