Blamer in Chief Obama

Obama Email to Supporters: If I Lose, It’s Your Fault
by Ben Shapiro 26 Aug 2012

Today, President Obama sent out a campaign email essentially blaming his supporters if he loses. See, he’s supposedly being outspent. And because he’s supposedly being outspent, he’s losing. And he can’t spend more money unless his supporters fork it over.
This is the campaign version of Obama’s entire economic argument: he can’t fix the economy unless he spends more money. And unless we give him more money, he can’t spend it. So if the economy fails, it’s our fault.
Here’s the perverse logic:
Last week, when I was in Iowa, voters told me they were feeling it. The numbers back it up: Our side is getting outspent 2-to-1 on the air there.
But the folks asking me about this don’t want an explanation — they want to know what I’m going to do about it.
And the fact is that solving this problem is up to you ….
We’re losing this air war right now.
I don’t have as much time to campaign this time as I did in 2008, so this whole thing is riding on you making it happen.

Perhaps the most laughable aspect of this latest desperate missive is Obama’s assertion that he doesn’t have “as much time to campaign this time as I did in 2008.” He’s done nothing but campaign since the beginning of the year. From January to mid-June, Obama held more than 160 fundraisers. During that same period in 2004, President George W. Bush had held just 79 fundraisers.
Here’s the sad fact for Obama: nobody’s enamored with him anymore. His spendthrift ways haven’t just bankrupted the country – they’ve bankrupted his campaign. And he still blames everyone else.

Methinks that unless Obama’s tenure in the WH was a mega FAIL, he could just run on his record. /snark
I’m sure he would spend millions to seal his record as President if he could, but he can’t so he’s all wee wee’d up and blaming everyone else.

It burns my oatmeal every time I hear a Democrat proclaim their pro-women creds. We remember all too vividly their attacks on women in general and two women in particular: Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.
And we will never forget. I sincerely believe the primary reason fauxgressive boiz support women’s reproductive rights, specifically abortion, is because they would be involved and held responsible for their unplanned progeny. The secondary reason is to win support for Teh Once. If they actually supported women they would be campaigning for the ERA; equal pay for women, equal access to all levels of power and governance, etc.

Cinie had the best list, including links, that I’ve read listing the vile attacks on women by Democrats in 2008. I’m unable to provide Cinie’s list because my computer bit the dust and I haven’t been able to replace it yet. But I will provide the following:
wbboei (again), recently listed some of the things Matthews spewed about Hillary:

“… what this same Obama surrogate said about Hillary in the 2008 campaign:

“I hate her. I hate her. All that she stands for.“ “She Devil“ • “Nurse Ratched•“ “Madame Defarge•“ “Witchy•“ “Anti-male•“ “[U]ppity•“ “She’s going to tell us what to •do.“ “Her scolding manner in terms of her public speaking•“ “[L]et’s talk about the troops …Will they take the orders?•“ [D]oesn’t she know she looks like a fraud?•“ Look at those eyes. Look at the cold eyes that she’s giving him. Look at that cold look.“ • [L]ike a strip-teaser saying she’s flattered by the all the attention On Sen. Clinton’s endorsers: “•“castratos in the eunuch chorus•“ “Let me tell you how short Hillary’s leash is. “•“ Is she a convincing mom? On Sen. Clinton’s laugh: “•“ What do you make of the cackle?•“ [S]he’s clapping, like she’s Chinese. I know the Chinese clap at each other, but what is she clapping at? I mean, it’s like one of these wind-up things. “•“ [S]he was giving a campaign barn-burner speech, which is harder to give for a woman; it can grate on some men when they listen to it — fingernails on a blackboard, perhaps.•“ “Is there, out there in the country or out in the Atlantic Ocean, some gigantic monster — big, green, horny-headed, all kinds of horns coming out, big, aggressive monster of anti-Hillaryism that hasn’t shown itself: it’s based upon gender …•“ “[B]eing surrounded by women, does that make a case for commander in chief — or does it make a case against it?•“ “Is she hemmed in by the fact that she’s a woman and can’t admit a mistake, or else the Republicans will say, ‘Oh, that’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind,’ or ‘another fickle woman’? Is her gender a problem in her ability to change her mind?•“ “[T]he reason she’s a U.S. senator, the reason she’s a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around.•“ “She may have gotten The Des Moines Register’s endorsement the other day, thanks to her husband’s lobbying with its female editors.”

… and that was just Matthews!

I am reading that sexist/misogynist Chris Tingles is still depending on accusations of “raaaaacism” to shut down any and all criticisms of his mancrush. I can’t help but wonder if Matthews and fauxgressives voted for Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, or Al Sharpton when each of them campaigned for the office of the Presidency. And why didnt they vote Green since the Green presidential nominee was black, and a woman, and her running mate was a woman of color.
After all, nothing else mattered but to elect an African American president in order to prove they/we weren’t raaaaacist. It didnt occur to them that they could “prove” they werent racist nor sexist with a single vote. Or it did occur to them but it just didnt matter.

I will point out that Jackson, Chisholm, and Sharpton are actually African-Americans, as we in the US understand and use the term, while Obama is actually Kenyan-American, absent a lineage tracing back to the 80 year period of slavery in the US.

Oh! and by the way:
Thanks to Judicial Watch, we no longer have to wonder whether or not the White House was directly and repeatedly involved in pressing the CIA and Department of Defense to give insider, classified details about the mission to kill Bin Laden

Meanwhile…some fresh air…

We really should castrate Chris Matthews – carve him a new one so he won’t hate women so much. Thanks to him and other women fearing nut jobs like him, women should always be barefoot and pregnant with dinner on the table by 6 !
How he can spew such vile stuff about a former first lady and let to get away with it is beyond me. But the tone of Obama’s Democratic party is so vile, it is unrecognizable. What an utter failure he is..some say Jimmy Carter sounds better and better each day that Obama is in office.

I watched Ann Romney’s speech today – it was amazing, effective and heartfelt. Even Erin Burnett of CNN said she had a tear in her eye at the end when Romney came on stage to give her a hug at the end of the speech. Even some CNN pundits thought it was a speech to be remembered. Who knew a mother of 5,a grandmother battling MS and breast cancer survivor had so much to say with grace and conviction. Like them or not, it was a wonderful speech.

Ann Romney is beautiful. Her speech was inspiring.

I wish she was running.

Dingle Tingle has been working on his ratings with some nasty race baiting again and I got into it with the Bobots on Huffy Post. You know, it is sad, but those drones do not even know what racism is. I posted a definition from an online dictionary and they replied by calling me a Republican.

I love Obozo’s letter to his supporters. They deserve it. Narcissism extreme.

Criticize their messyah and you’re either a racist or a republican. “Morans”.

freespirit 08.29.12 at 9:06 pm

freddiebrown, I sense a kindred spirit in you. I’m past ready to get on with the cuttin’, and not just Tingles. Women are getting screwed over by the left and the right. I detest Obama, and wouldn’t vote for him if he were running against Son of Sam> The Dems don’t give a damn about women or women’s rights – though they throw Roe up in our faces as some kind of proof that they do. The Republicans have never and will never support gender equality – certainly not reproductive rights. What a sorry state of affairs.

Jill Stein – 2012
A beginning to the end of stagnation.
Even as a protest vote against two evils.
Consider it a “none of the above” vote.
Consider it a vote FOR women.

freddiebrown 08.29.12 at 11:59 pm

I have listened to two days of the Republican Convention speeches. I will also listen to the Democratic Convention in its entirety.

I will happily vote my evil.

freespirit 08.30.12 at 1:44 am

Dances – I was leaning Romney – knowing I couldn’t vote for Barack – but, it was certainly not something I wanted to do, especially after Ryan was announced as VP. I think you make a really good point. Screw both the evils, and vote for Jill.

Why the hell vote for evil?

This is probably the least important Presidential election since the 1950s. As an experienced political hand told me, the two candidates are speaking not to the voters, but to the big money. They hold the same views, pursue the same policies, and are backed by similar interests. Mitt Romney implemented Obamacare in Massachusetts, or Obama implemented Romneycare nationally. Both are pro-choice or anti-choice as political needs change, both tend to be hawkish on foreign policy, both favor tax cuts for businesses, and both believe deeply in a corrupt technocratic establishment.”

A clear cut view of the same TWO evils.

Headclunker 08.30.12 at 5:51 pm

HP Boston.

Very Interesting. But I believe that Obama is bad for America in a way Romney is not. I believe he has a deep seated contempt for us and is not so sorry to see the hardship he has caused formerly prosperous people (not that he would admit it is he who caused it). Besides, Romney is competent and BO is not.

stoney42 08.30.12 at 7:52 pm

I have not watched any of the convention. Probably won’t watch the Dem convention either,

17

DancesWithPumas 08.30.12 at 8:16 pm

Good or bad for America, who knows?
What I do know is both are bad for women.

18

freddiebrown 08.30.12 at 8:32 pm

All I know is that if we have two choices and one has proven to be a failure, we cannot sit back and allow the failure to continue on his path. Obama had his chance. Now someone else need to have his chance. I will choose the guy who has the best chance of getting our economy back in shape. My business of 13 years that I, a woman, built out of absolutely nothing to be a millionaire in a mere 5 years (not bragging, just stating), no debt whatsoever after 3 months… is now very shaky. Many stores are shuttered, those who are still open are so worried they don’t want to spend anything.

We have now a president who is very women friendly and gay friendly and what has it got us? I know the arguement for women, for Jill Stein, but at the end of the day, I feel that there are many who cannot put food on the table and all the lofty women’s rights in the world would not matter. I have the means to live comfortably for the rest of my life but to me, it is more than my lot. I want my fellow Americans to have a decent, comfortable, honorable life where they don’t have to resort to crime, food stamps, fear, multiple jobs etc etc..to get to dinner time.

Yes, when times are tough financially, women’s rights sometimes have to take a back seat.

19

DancesWithPumas 08.30.12 at 8:49 pm

Women’s rights ALWAYS take a back seat!
Equality isn’t some ‘lofty’ ideal, it’s basic humanity.
Trust me, if it weren’t for the shoulders of uppity women who went before you, you’d be a merry little housewife waiting with dinner on the table for your husband to come home from his business. Christ, you wouldn’t even have a credit card, let alone a business. You would be fully dependent on the generosity of your husband.

What is decent, honorable, or comfortable for women who are being reduced to Stepford wives who are forced into being baby making machines because of the menz fanatical desire to control our bodies?

Chase your pennies. Just remember whose blood, sweat, and freedom you’re trading on. Sorry, Freddie, but at this moment you are reminding me of Oprah. She capitalized off of women, but when push came to shove, for voted for the guy.

PS Obama doesn’t love women or gays. To him both represent votes, nothing else. He couldn’t care any less about anyone but himself.

freddiebrown 08.30.12 at 11:41 pm

Just because I don’t hate men in general does not mean that I don’t understand or appreciate the “blood, sweat and freedom” of women before me that I am trading on. I don’t buy that I should support all women wholesale and I don’t think all men are only worth a pile of shit. Views like this are a bit extreme for me. If gender is supposed to be the be all and end all of our decision making and support, then we must be playing the same game we accuse the male species of. The bottom line that no one wants to admit is that most on this blog will only support women only if they are from the same party affiliation.

yttik 08.31.12 at 10:15 am

I do care about women of all political affiliations. I also genuinely believe that the R’s are going to be far better for women than the D’s have been in the last 4 years. They not only believe in empowering women economically, they have made a great effort to increase women’s political power.

Oh and Freddie you seem to “wholesale” support to men.
Oh I am sorry, they are the only ones we get to “give” our vote!!

Freddie, please don’t stoop that low. The accusations of “man hater”, “feminazi”, “lezzie”, are all typical of the devices males use to shut down women’s voices. It is really beneath you to go there.

I don’t buy that I should support all women wholesale and I don’t think all men are only worth a pile of shit. Views like this are a bit extreme for me. The point is any male who encourages, supports, and then profits from the patriarchal system is worthless. As worthless as the KKK, Neo Nazis, Black Panthers, Taleban, who all strive to keep “the other” down.

If gender is supposed to be the be all and end all of our decision making and support, then we must be playing the same game we accuse the male species of. Not quite. It is our duty to ourselves and millions of the current crop of girls and women, as well as the millions of both genders who will follow us, to fight for equal access.

The bottom line that no one wants to admit is that most on this blog will only support women only if they are from the same party affiliation.
Baloney! and you know it. This blog has defended women who were attacked based on their gender, including Palin and Bachmann. Personally, I have voted for Republican women in state and local elections, as well as casting my protest vote for McCain/Palin, just as many other PUMAs have.

turndownobama 09.01.12 at 12:10 am

Fwiw, I’ve always supported the Clintons, but I voted for Sarah in 2008, and I defend Michelle Bachmann and other GOP women whom I think are being treated unfairly. Also I would like to defend Pelosi, Sebelius, and McCaskill who have all supported womens health and contraceptive issues (for real, not tokenly like Obama does).

This time I’m voting for Jill. http://www.jillstein.org/

Your Back! And just in time for the Big Dawg Howl at the Dimocratic Convention. I understand that it is raining there and BO is moving his speech tomorrow to a little bitty building instead of his big stadium.

Now, if he would just move his clown show back to Chicago.

Hello, it has been 4 years since I’ve posted anything here. I have intentionally ignored politics etc. since 2008 because it robbed me of precious time I could have spent with my husband before he died. I have once again been drawn in. Of course this site is the one place that makes more sense than any other. Glad to see many of the same names I remember. Thanks for being here.
