We Aren’t Listening

Apparently running with some trial balloon by not playing the race card for a change, the Obama camp has a new explanation for the unbelievers. We are hearing impaired. According to MissEYEUhh Barky, the reason so many of us are criticizing him is because we haven’t been listening.
Obama Says His Critics Haven’t Been Listening
“Look, let me talk about the broader issue, this whole notion that I am shifting to the center,” he told a crowd gathered at a town hall-style meeting in this Atlanta suburb. “The people who say this apparently haven’t been listening to me.”
So inclined to consider himself a common man, Barky imagines that if he suffered from a hearing problem for those 20 long years he was in that racist church that he didn’t know about maybe, just maybe that is the same problem the rest of us have. He’s hoodwinking hoping so.
He might just as well have come right out and said: “Look deep into my eyes.” Because that is the routine he is laying on us. “I Barky the All Wise have made your mind up for you.”
And when you translate the Cult-speak the message is clear: “Hey, see that cliff over there. Wouldn’t it be great fun if we all ran over it?”
Lessee…
He agrees with Scalia on gun control. He wants to kill child rapists. But don’t we all? And he wants to spy on Americans. Except that he wants it to be legal spying. Institutionalized. Allowed.
And yet we are told that we aren’t listening.
I am someone who is no doubt progressive
In a world where freedom equals slavery that might be true. But I will never consider any government progressive that wants to take away my constitutional rights.
Barky Sweetie. May I call you Sweetie?
It ain’t progress when you start taking stuff away.
Oh, and Sweetie… PUMAs have fine hearing. Exceptional in fact. We hear you loud and clear. That is why we criticize you. Hear us roar.
Clearly you are the one with a hearing problem.
love that, clearly he is the one w the hearing problem, I know that’s right!!
Is it listening as in hearing, or listening as in we’re all a bunch of fucking morons?
When Obama says that the DC gun ban is constitutional, then 5 judges say “no no no!”, and then Obama says he agrees with the judges, why that’s just our fault.
Who is Hussein Obama trying to kid?
NoObamislamists Obama’s problem is that he only listens to and tries to impress those he is with at the moment. Which is why there is a blacky tape out there showing him with a white group making fun of AA’s.
Obama is intellectually superior to the rest of us (he thinks) and therefore we just don’t get him. I know I don’t get him. I like someone who talks straight and stands for something.
Oh, I get him all right. And so do the rest of the PUMAS. His problem is that more and more people are getting him every day.
More like…hey see that cliff over there? Wouldn’t it be GREAT fun if YOU all ran off of it?
I am amused at the mental machinations his true believers are going through now to justify their idolatry. Kind of like the American Communists when Stalin kept switching positions during WWII.
Also, on FISA, people overlook the fact that FISA implicates the Fourth and the First Amendment. They are our two most important freedoms. Political speech and the ability to oppose the administration in power are what democracy is all about.
Yes, my hearing is okay, and so is my reading ability.
The second amendment is the most important one. Without that, the entire Constitution means squat.
I agree. Prisoners can probably talk until their tonsils fall out, but it doesn’t make them any closer to being free. Second amendment is at least as important as any other, and maybe the keystone.
“I am amused at the mental machinations his true believers are going through now to justify their idolatry. Kind of like the American Communists when Stalin kept switching positions during WWII.”
Exactly.
Obama’s followers would rather die three times over than admit that they made a SERIOUS mistake in putting all of their faith in Mr. “hope” and “change.” His flop on the extremely important FISA bill today is only the beginning of how Obama will continue to destroy this country if he’s elected.
Will the FISA bill survive a Constitutional challenge? It doesn’t seem likely. And Obama will still be on the record as voting for it.
What did Jesse Jackson say about Obama. Wolf Blitzer wouldn’t even repeat it tonight on CNN. Does anyone know. Sorry to change the subject.
something about Obama cut his own balls off by dissing the black community or something to that effect, not sure word for word
Drudge has a somewhat different version:
http://drudgereport.com/
He said that Barack has cut off his own balls with the black community…may be paraphrasing. O’Reilly is supposedly going to play it tonight.
I read somewhere it was either the “nuts or the dick” words, but don’t quote me.
He said Obama was “talking down to black people” and he (Jackson) would like to cut off Obama’s nuts. Apparently, Obama’s been lecturing black men about taking responsibility for their children.
It might be a plan if he had any, but as the radio host in my area said today, “Michelle already cut them off years ago”
Obama,
You have decided to show what a coward you really are.
Turned down Town Hall debates with Hillary
Turned down Town Hall debates with McCain
Backtrack on meeting with O’Reilly
Send your surrogates out to attack McCain’s war record
Obama…You’re a wimp and unfit to be President
yes!!
We knew all along that he has no balls.
Uhm, no. YOU’RE COMING IN LOUD AND CLEAR, BARKY. We can hear you real good. YES WE CAN!
yep, that is exactly his problem, we just ain’t buyin’ what he’s sellin’!!
haha
on another blog, TVNewser, some said:
LOL!!! Really!
Once, again, it’s all our fault. It’s never HIM.
NOBAMA.
Obama said it himself…”if you examine everything I’ve said” then we will know what he is about.
He really brings it home dosen`t he.
“Land of the Free and Home of da Whopper”
LOL! Thanx 4 da comedy relief. This all just getting so depressing, I needed that!
Cheers!
poor obama, poor obama the victim AGAIN this time of false claims that he is a FLIPPER by those fcknig Progressives who just are can’t hear when spoken they are spoken to or are to dumb to understand what he said……
Si!
Obama’s problem is that we ARE listening. He just wants us to hear something else. lol…..
Exactly so. I think he made this comment in reference to Iraq. That issue alone has proven to be his downfall.
He made his Iraq position the centerpiece of his primary campaign. He cannot flip-flop now and expect to remain credible on that one.
The pundits are attempting to pretend that this flip-flopping is normal, to be expected, etc. I have no clue as to what they are talking about. It’s the kiss of death to reverse positions as he has done. The way he did it, for example, on public financing was particularly despicable. He actually had the audacity to pretend it was a decision he made on principle. Good golly!
Ditto for FISA.
You are correct. His problem is that we ARE listening. Carefully. And we’re documenting him, too. On u-tubes. Daily.
He IS accountable to the public. He is acting as though he is not, and the KOS boyz are letting him get away with it.
The children at Kos can let him get away with whatever they’d like–see, they have jumped the shark.
They overreached, made asses of themselves, and showed themselves, too, to be “less than” they claimed.
By their very hyper/anything-to-win partisanship, they did what Jesse quite accurately said BO did–cut off their own balls. They decided early on to back the brown fellow, not because his ideas were better, not because his experience was better, not because he was better suited, not because he had a better temperament…. but because “ethnic” is “cooler” than “late middle-aged female” to those loudmouths in the eighteen to thirty five (pretending to be twenty nine) demographic. And “cool” is everything to those insecure little fools.
Past a certain age and maturity level–and those kids haven’t reached it yet–”coolness” doesn’t matter. You either have self-confidence, or you don’t. You don’t (as they say, “actually”) need the approval of assholes who don’t know you or care about you. It’s quite liberating. They’ll get there one day, and maybe do the Homer Simpson “DOH!!!!” Or maybe they’ll remain blissfully stupid and self-righteous.
Now, like Jeremiah says, those “Too Cool For School” chickens are coming home to roost. The Kos children are starting to look like David Cassidy/Partridge Family or Monkees fans in 1990….a bit of a curiosity, a bit foolish, a bit, well, pathetic.
They aren’t quite as “cool” as they used to be, since their candidate has flipped, flopped, and sold them down the FISA river. They look like asses who have been easily conned.
And that will be the case no matter who wins or steals this election.
They’ll never be regarded with the same gravitas that they once were, simply because they’ve behaved badly…to be frank, like immature little punkass shits.
They flexed their muscles in a funhouse mirror. We have seen enough of them to compare the image in the mirror to the reality.
The mirror makes those little Kos-sac objects appear LARGER than they actually are.
No sale. We don’t need that idiot Bush to repeat that “won’t git fooled agin” line. And we don’t need a diminutive little Greek geek to suggest that we “get in line” for the good of the party.
It just isn’t going to happen. He hasn’t the gravitas, the command, or the believability to “lead” anyone but the suckers who cannot think for themselves, who have no where else to go.
excellent post….
AMEN!
I listened to him for years as my state rep and as a canidate for us senator and for his 147 days as my us senator and heard what he was saying. That’s why I became a HillRaiser.
I guess somebody got the key and let Jesse out, they were supposed to keep in locked up until November.
You know Jackson and Sharpton are kept in the same cage…When Jesse speaks, Al is usually right behind…
Hardball BIG number tonight: The Amount Obama Supporters Donated to Retire Hillary’s Debt: LESS THAN $100,000
He just LOVES to place blame, doesn’t he?
It’s not that he isn’t articulating his worldview in a comprehensible fashion, it’s that people aren’t LISTENING.
Never HIS fault.
What a putz.

Send Hillary $22.48 (the FISA Bill Number) today!
DONE!!
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/07/09/rep_jackson_blasts_his_father.html
Jesse Jackson Jr. just threw his own father under the bus:
I used to like the company that I have under the bus. Now its getting downright intolerable.
So much for Unity.
I think they better get a bigger bus.
Well, as we can clearly see, Barack is the Uniter! Where exactly I don’t know, but that was the DNC rumor.
First this guy has Dems feeding on eachother, and now is rending strife among families….this is unity?
Yep.
JJ Jr. threw his mother under the bus a long time ago too. She’s been a Hillary supporter from the beginning.
I can’t keep up with all the fast and furious fuckups by Obama lately. MAKE IT STOP!
How about you people think when Obama said that our childrens should speak Spanish??He has voted twice on making English as an official language here..It was played by lou dobb
That he’s reversed his position on an issue again. But we’re used to it.
How do you say okie doke in Spanish?
why don’t we just make everyone speak Engish since that is our language here?
I heard a clip of that on the radio today and I wondered, why isn’t he giving this speech in all the different languages he knows? HA! He probably only knows english and even that he stammers and stutters on.
Quite frankly, I wish he’d just shut up!
In the CA debate he said they had to learn English also.
In that one answer he praised Latinos while throwing AA under the bus, then immediately threw Latinos under the bus in the next sentence.
Classic Obama…
ROFLMFAO, I hear ya.
Everyday it seems there is another Obambi FLIP-FLOP, another LIE, another NUT RIPPER, lol.
I have no clue how the Obambi kool-aid drinkers can justify there stance, it’s indefensible.
I’d be downright dizzy, except I been rolling on the floor laughing at all the back and forth and flipping and flopping.
There’s no doubt about it, Rocky. We are going to have to get a second bus….
Say does’nt he still have those that he used bus/screen all his supporters to Unity,NH?
There’s plemty o’room, and with more being tossed to follow I’m sure.
Bus company
Geez…at this rate you could form an office pool about who will get thrown next.
Anyone have the full list of advisors?
The Rev-er-rand Jessie Sr. wants to rip Obuma’s &*#@!
Off!
LMAO, thier puppet candidate has come off his chain.
Somewhere Hillary is singing “I told ya so!”
Every day Dean, Pelosi, and Reid are sadly proving that they are clowns, running the DNC like a circus. I would call them the 3 stooges, but Larry, Curly, and Moe were truly funny. These three are dangerously misguided.
God save the U.S.A.!

Obambi campaign orders the world largest bus. It holds 300 inside, no telling how many will fit UNDER IT.
http://shanghaiist.com/attachments/shang_dan/chinalongestbus031607.jpg
Under the Bus are
Deaf, Bitter, Archie Bunker like People, Black Liberation theologians, and Middle America.
Did I miss anybody?
LMAO!! Priceless.
LOL
Barack, sweetie, as the self-appointed “leader,” you should be doing the listening. That’s what real leaders do.
I think there is a more sinister reason why Barky voted yes on the FISA bill. He assumes that he will be our next president and what better way to keep an eye on you, listening to your phone calls, watching your internet use and conducting warrantless searches of your home. That’s why he voted yes. He’s assuming that will be a great tool once he is the president. No way Barky. The only morons are your current supporters.
Exactly. I have been thinking the same thing. Why the sudden change? I think he had this in mind all along.
There is NO WAY he will get my vote…NEVER!
Well Barky did say once “Don’t tell me words don’t matter” ….maybe he meant “Don’t tell me words matter!??”
Barky is like Kerry is a different suit!
PUMA!
the trollies must be taking a nap on their blanket
OK, I came here looking for info on Jesse Jackson’s statements that he made about Obama when he thought his microphone was off. All I could find was ‘he’s talking down to black people’ and something about cutting something off (I am assuming it is his nuts). O’Reilly says it is much worse but they aren’t going to play it.
I’ll check back later as you guys usually get good info.
ROTF!
Just saw the ‘edited’ JJ clip on Bill-o. JJ whispers to the other AA guy, “I don’t like how Obama is talking down to black people.” Then he grunts softly and with clenched fists does a double football-style arm-pull,
hissing, “I’d like to cut his n*** off.”
:laugh:
omg…LOL, they are doing it to themselves,
I think because the racism issue is being used by Obama and his campaign and supporters, Republicans are making sure they don’t stoke anything. They are just going to let Obama and those around him do it to themselves-and they are.
well those Obamabots upset with BO’s FISA decision must be racist!
There’s just no other explanation for their dissent - racist frauds, all of them. How dare they use this issue to undermine Obama when it’s such transparent racism: they simply don’t want an African American in office.
(lol)
LMAO!!
PUMA!
The Jesse clip leads off O’Reilly. Firggin’ priceless. Then the idiots go and put a 10 and 7 year old on teevee. Are they really this dumb?
The 527s will be able to save their money this go-around, BO and his supporters are mastering the art of daily gaffes, flipflops, mistakes and errors that make this look like the worst of Dukakis. When does barky go for a ride in a tank?

JJ’s “nutty” remarks have made my day! hahahahaha
Well it would change his melodious measured baritone a few octives
“This whole notion….”
When you hear these words come out of Obama’s mouth….he is setting up another lie or flip-flop to smooth over.
The 527 ads are going to write themselves….
ummm ummm ummm
Re: JJ comments… Assumes NUTS not in evidnence. HA HA HA I believe his broader point was that O should be talking to a broader audience rather than chastizing the AA community. Isn’t he supposed to be running for pres of the ENTIRE US?
Hey Northern Bay area Hillary supporters. Here is your Hillary meetup group.
Working together locally to get people to Denver.
http://hrclinton.meetup.com/129/
Jesse is very funny today. lol
In all my years in America I have heard candidates blame the media and blame the other candidate for their own waffling back and forth but I’ve never heard one actually blame his own supporters and everyone else in this country by telling them that they are not listening. He has not taken responsibility for anything, remember the “bitter” comments, well, we and the media misinterpreted, and why he sat in Wright’s church for 20 years because it was Rev Wright’s fault, he “didn’t know him” and the media and the citizens shouldn’t pick on Michelle for saying anti-American statements, that’s our fault too. Now his own supporters that believed him during the primary season about FISA and his filibustering and that he would bring the troops home as soon as he became President, etc are to blame because they “weren’t listening.” Who is he, what is he and where the hell did he come from?
Never seen anything like it myself.
Just below one of your anti-Obama compatriots has said that Obama apologizes about too many things. Which is it?
Ha Ha Ha AH well it sure isn’t an apology about BOBO’s continental sized flim flam on telecom immunity today. That kind of apology would require at least a stadium and a whole barrage of teleprompters to minimize the stuttering… breath mints.. lets not forget the breath mints. LOL can’t be apologizing for that kind of flim flam with the just kissed MOMO BOBObreath.
Psst….believe…this isn’t the Borg.
Posters are allowed different points of view. LOL
BOBO is so FULL SH*T, he’s just hoping we don’t notice. He’s turning into a very bad joke on O’maniacs. It’s NOT to late SD’s!!! Open your EYES and EARS and grow a pair!!!
Hey, has anyone noticed that Barky is going GRAY??? Or is that just as fake as the rest of him??
Donna B. is getting grayer, too, last I saw. Supposedly they want to look distinguished???
Keep trying. Ain’t gonna happen!
Maybe they are turning to dust right before our eyes!
Jesse Jackson: Hot Mic With Fox On Obama
Lou Dobbs coverage:
Oreilly will be playing Jesse jacksons remarks about Obama
Link here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0wz2NmKg2A
Thanks for this. Lou Dobbs’ coverage was definitely more lively than O’Reilly to my mind. It’s ironic, this thing with Jackson and Obama. Obama owes much to Jackson. Jackson had a lot to do with the changeover to proportional representation of delegates from the Democratic primaries. It’s really funny. Obama is annoying just about everybody these days. But Jackson has been around a long time and has paid his dues.
You gotta love someone as outspoken as Jesse. He says what he thinks and says what he means, even if we bitter white folks have trouble understanding him at times. But its clear there was no misinterpreting what he meant when he made these comments. And just think, here we have a pillar of the AA community making a statement that basically says “this here white boy coming into our churches telling us black men how to behave! ain’t havin none of this.” Cuz it ain’t no black man he’s talkin TO or ABOUT in that statement….. that’s for damn sure!
“Jesse Jackson point is very simple. Barack Obama rather talk about black men all having no morals than to talk about poverty, crime, imprisonment, penal code, Violence and misogyny in rap music etc. Obama doesn’t touch controversial black issues. He likes to lecture and make fun about how bad they are at basketball and they would never make it as a rapper. But there are bigger issues he can address. How about telling African Americans that the government did not developed the AIDS virus to kill them? Obama eltitist church boast that 60% of their members have a college degree, 30% have a graduate degree and 10% a PhD. Barack Obama may have left the elitist Trinity United CHurch but his snobbery and arrogance is hard to fake.
Barack Obama likes to take credit for the works of Others. When Bill COsby spoke out about Black issues, BArack Obama was silent. Obama is now going around and ripping off Bill COsby message as his own. NOw he wants to ride in like the savior of black people as if he was doing it for years. He boast about his work as a communtiy organizer in CHicago, yet the people who did the hard work gets no credit. BArack Obama is an embellisher. Tavis Smiley could have predicted this moment. Many in the black community are aware that Obama avoids controversial black issues. But he can get up in a pulpit and talk about parenting, personal responsibility and music taste.
Under Barack Obama healthcare policies, AMericans will have to pay for federal sponsored abortions. Guess how many of those babies aborted will be black? All I want for Barack Obama is to stop sterotyping the Black Communtiy. It is the democratic poarty who have made black people into victims and is the party of hyphenated Americans - Gay American, African AMerican, Hispanic AMerican, Jewish AMerican, Muslim American, irish AMerican, Italian AMerican, ……….SInce he feels an obligation to speak to African Americans about personal responsibility, I wonder when he will address his white half in a White church about child sexual abuse, Pedophila and Meth Use.”
