The reporter said later that he was NOT heckling. When he spoke out, he actually thought Obama’s speech was finished. I agree with him that the cadence of Obama’s speech is confusing. The way he stops and starts makes it hard to know when he really is done. And reporters have to jump in if they have a hope of getting their question heard.
The Laughing Stock Media ignored the content of Obama’s Rose Garden announcement (which was that he is instructing INS to NOT enforce the law) and focused on tut-tutting over what they characterized as “heckling” (not as a reporter asking a question out of turn). Some of them did some chin-pulling about whether a White President would be treated with so much disrespect. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … you mean, like this?
Bush Heckled “war criminal” [:46]
But none of that is my point here. My point is the prickly way Obama responded to a reporter speaking out of turn. Video clip below shows how Romney responded to a planned group interruption of a campaign event.
Romney’s response to a group of actual hecklers [:43]
Here is how Obama handled a planned group interruption by his own supporters. Check out the face. Sheesh.
So … who do YOU want in the Oval Office? A bossy jerk with a chip on his shoulder or a smooth gentleman with a sense of humor? Speaking of humor … this last video clip is a well-done anti-Obama ad.
Most Arrogant Man in the World [1:05]
Remember in 2008, how the Left drooled over Mr. Barack O’Cool? What a joke! He’s only calm and congenial when he’s being stroked and pampered. At the first sign he isn’t getting his way, he acts like a 2-year-old who missed his nap.
“It is amazing, isn’t it? Everything that’s happened the last three-and-a-half years, it’s all been Bush’s fault. Don’t we have evidence enough now to know that Obama can’t deal with it? We need to elect somebody who can stand up to Bush!” Rush Limbaugh, June 14, 2012
During the twelve years of Republican leadership, the highest unemployment rate was 6.3%, which lasted for only one month in 2003. During the last month that Republicans held majority control, unemployment was 4.4%.
After Democrats took majority control of the federal government in January 2007 and during the last two years of Bush’s tenure, unemployment rose from 4.4% to 7.3%. In January 2009, when Obama moved into the Oval Office, unemployment stood at 7.8% and has been at or above 8.1% for all 40 months since. For 28 of those 40 months, unemployment stood between 9.0% and 10.0%.
Do you need any other reason to vote for Republicans this fall?
Thanks to Itooktheredpill for his feedback about my two previous employment and party control graphics. I implemented his suggestions, combining the best features of each. The quality of this one (below) owes a lot to his assistance!
I was surprised in the Krauthammer video that the ever-effusive Obama-phile Juan Williams freely admitted Obama is a flaming hypocrite on this issue!
Of course, he then praised Obama’s tough leadership. Par for the course, right? “Do whatever it takes to get elected” is Commandment One in the Democrat play book.
The New York Times broke the ‘kill list’ story which reveals that Our Fearless Leader, Barack “I got bin Laden” Obama, has been taking a very hands on, tough guy approach to the whole “keeping America safe” thing.
In fact, Barack is personally overseeing the shadow war with Al Qaeda and making those Big Tough Decisions about who of the world’s most wanted terrorists should be assassinated. Don’t you feel safer now? Don’t you just really want to vote him into a second term?
Tough Guy Obama prefers ordering “kill” over “capture” … maybe because dead terrorists don’t cause messy political problems by hiring whiney liberal lawyers from their cells at Gitmo.
Obama did, after all, rant at length about how eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil Bush was for Torturing Detainees At Gitmo (never mind Nancy Pelosi herself was one of the CONGRESSIONAL leaders who specifically approved all 3 waterboardings).
Obama also swore left, right and center that He Would Close Gitmo No Matter What … except he didn’t. But that was 2008, when he was the Messiah of Hope, Change and Moral Superiority.
Never mind that dead terrorists ALSO don’t give us any intel about who their buddies are or what evil plots they might be hatching. Obama’s got to run a campaign and his first term record sucks. What else can he run on besides, “I killed bin Laden”?
I agree with The Kraut that this story was deliberately leaked to take Obama’s Tough on Terror meme to a new level … plus to get the spotlight back on HIM and off those goofball SEALS who went and complained they didn’t like being used in his campaign ads.
And it’s the Times for crying out loud. Of course it says that Teh Won is only Tough in a GOOD way …. NOT like that bloodthirsty bastard, the Eeeevil Cowboy Bushitler.
Never mind that Teh Won — the President Formerly Known as a Lawyer who once insisted that military detainees be Mirandized — has now gone and ordered the assassination-by-drone (minus trial by jury) of an American citizen (a decision he told colleagues was “an easy one”). Civil rights violations? Nothing to see here. Keep on moving.
The Grey Lady reassures us that Barack is nothing like the Evil George Bush! He totally “rejected the Bush administration’s false choice between our safety and our ideals” by insisting the CIA be way more careful about Avoiding Civilian Casualties!
Never mind that they are apparently avoiding “civilian” casualties by more or less counting everybody inside the strike zone as a combatant, which reminds me of what Clinton did to improve his unemployment numbers by creating the “discouraged workers” category into which he could shovel the long-term unemployed.
I’m kinda wondering something here. Who exactly is supposed to be impressed by this thing that wasn’t already in the tank for Obama anyway. Anyone?

Obama’s ‘secret kill list’ shows president is final word on terrorist killing missions By Dylan Stableford – May 29, 2012
While campaigning in 2008, he blew off injured Soldiers who were expecting a visit.
After he won, he told Republicans to get in the back seat and not talk.
He had plenty of time to campaign in Europe, but hop over to celebrate one of the greatest single events of the 20th century? Nah.
After the Fort Hood incident, George and Laura Bush visited For Hood. Barack took the week-end off to relax at Camp David, a locale he has since shunned in favor of more glam (and expensive to taxpayers) resorts here and abroad.
These days, Barack doesn’t even bother to talk to his own people.
“Democrats wait by phone for President Obama – He doesn’t call. He doesn’t write. He doesn’t drop by for a visit. …
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) is trying to cut a deal on the nation’s fiscal crisis, but he can’t recall the last time he talked to the president.
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) is in charge of one of Obama’s top priorities — preventing a rate increase on student loans — but he hasn’t talked to the president in months.
And Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) is the go-to guy on high gas prices, but the chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee hasn’t spoken to the president much since the previous Congress. …
But both policy meetings and social gatherings with committee chairmen, ranking members, back bench freshmen and GOP swing voters — all hallmarks of the early part of Obama’s term — have been few and far between with the president these days.
Barack Obama has added himself to the official biographies of 13 previous presidents (so far) @ http://www.whitehouse.gov.
As of today (May 15, 2012), he has not gotten his name on to the biographies for Gerald Ford, or anyone prior to Harding. But maybe it’s a work in progress. There are very recent references in some of the “Look at me!” additions, such as the Buffett Rule.
There are also some blatant lies, like his claim to be promoting an “all of the above” approach to weaning us off foreign oil, striving to “protect” Social Security, and making sure our veterans get the best services possible. NOT.
