Cry baby says what?
On Good Morning America today(Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs has the video of the interview), Barak Obama decided to get tough with Tennessee Republicans for running an ad with his wife in it. Well, as tough as he can be;
“The GOP, should I be the nominee, I think can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record,” Obama said. “I’ve been in public life for 20 years. I expect them to pore through everything that I’ve said, every utterance, every statement. And to paint it in the most undesirable light possible. That’s what they do.”
“But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable,” he said.
Obama praised his wife’s patriotism and said that for Republicans “to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class …
So what, pray tell, were the Tennessee Republicans saying about little Michele?
…a GOP Internet campaign in Tennessee has an ad featuring Michelle Obama’s comments during the long Democratic campaign that “for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country.”
Here’s the ad;
OK, so what Michele Obama says on a campaign stop for her husband’s candidacy is off limits? It’s “low class” to play her actual words back? Well, why don’t we just ask the Obama campaign to write Republican ads for us then we can avoid all of this name-calling from the Obama campaign. I guess that way Republicans can just hope for chang, too.
What I really find offensive, though, is the remarks he made yesterday – and they should give everyone pause. In a campaign stop yesterday in Washington State he said (AFP link);
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.
“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.
I find that as offensive as anything else I’ve heard this year. “Keep our homes at 72 degrees”? WTF is that about? I remember Jimmy Carter telling us to wear sweaters in our houses and turning our thermostats down to 68 degrees, is that what Obama is saying? Bringing back the Jimmy Carter Malaise? And how does that relate to “leadership”? Barak Obama wouldn’t know leadership if it bit his big-ass ears off.
Who the hell is he to tell us what we can drive and what we can eat, for pete’s sake? I damn sure don’t want to tell other countries what to drive eat or how to warm or cool their homes.
Is he running for President of the United States or Miss Universe?

UPDATED: Now I get an email from the Barack campaign deliberately misrepresenting the President’s remarks at the Knesset last week;
Last week, President Bush used a speech before the Israeli parliament to launch an unprecedented partisan attack. Senator McCain echoed his divisive misrepresentation of Barack’s foreign policy vision, engaging in the same fear-mongering and distortion.
What a doofus. Cry me a river, Barak. It makes me wonder how he’ll react when Chavez says Obama’s leaving a room left a smell of sulfur.

If Obama is elected, we will have a rerun of the Carter Presidency, except it will be worse as Obama will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with his call for retreat from the Jihadists.
On September 3, 1939, Germany took all but 10 of its Divisions and attacked Poland. As an aside, France and Germany each had approximately 100 Divisions, but the French were still mobilizing. On September 7, 1939, France invaded Germany in the Saar – taking 11 Divisions approximately 5 miles deep into an essentially undefended Germany, along a 25 mile wide front. The French lost their nerve, however, because the German border had about a 5 mile deep minefield in front of the French advance. Fears of the German Army returning at phenomenal speed turned the French guts to water. France withdrew on September 17, 1939.
The best “German” tank of the time, by the way, was the Pz-38, a Czech tank that the Germans obtained by England’s and France’s surrender of Czechoslovkia in the “appeasement” issue at hand (Chamberlain’s “Peace in Our Time” statement).
The French had Renault-35, Souma-35, and Char-Bis 1 Bis tanks, all of which were superior to the German tanks. But the French had no doctrine of armored warfare, while the Germans did. France fell to the Germans in May 1940, in three weeks.
So, in end (or the beginning, actually) what it came down to was guts. The French didn’t have it, and the Germans did.
Do you think that Obama has guts? Or that he will fail to purge our military of its most capable combat leaders (as Stalin did prior to the German invasion of Russia)?
[…] This ain’t Hell, but you can see it from here – Cry baby says what? […]
Obama’s Double Standard…
Barry Obama is quite upset because the Republicans in Tennessee have used snippets of his wife in an ad. His wife Michell is seen making her statement about being proud of America for the first time in her adult life. On Good Morning America Michelle…
Bob “the blowhard” Beckel was on Fox this AM claiming the ad was an example of blatant racism… I almost ran off the road laughing at that completely insane remark. How in the name of all that is holy is that ad RACIST?
