Obama admits: I was just a random campaign quote generator

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 1, 2008 05:58 PM

Here’s your quote of the day in case you missed the press conference this morning. Responding to reporter Peter Baker’s question about his mockery of Hillary Clinton’s tea-sipping foreign policy inexperience during the campaign, Barack Obama basically admits that his words were, well, just words.

(And as his Secretary of State nominee reminded us during that campaign, some of those endless strings of words, words, words weren’t even his own.)

In other, ahem, words: Barack Obama was nothing more than a random campaign quote generator.

B-b-b-but it’s the media’s fault for quoting them back then and for resurrecting them now.

Straight from the mouth of The One (vid via Allah):

Partial transcript:

This is fun for the press to try to stir up whatever quotes were generated during the course of the campaign, and you’re having fun. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m not faulting it. But, look, I think if you look at the statements that Hillary Clinton and I have made outside of the heat of a campaign, we share a view that America has to be safe and secure, and in order to do that we have to combine military power with strengthened diplomacy.

Words. Just words.

    I guarantee that less than 1 year into his presidency, at LEAST 25-30% of the people who voted for him will have buyer’s remorse.

    We tried to tell you, but this guy’s MO was to get elected. Nothing else. There’s no change coming from this windbag.

    What a bold, arrogant stance taken by Obama. I know, this is not new, but for him to say, “Don’t think too hard about what I say, but always, whatever you do, assume the best of me,” is quite a dangerous proposition. Biden petitioned for people to do just that when he said this after explaining how Obama will be tested in the near future: “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.” In other words, they’re saying: “Have blind faith in this mere mortal, Obama, and you’ll be alright.”
    My response: “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

    The real joke here is that liberals and the media seem to have taken Obama’s campaign rhetoric seriously. The electoral college hasn’t even met yet and already virtually all of Obama’s campaign promises have been exposed as lies. I’m not sure “I told you so” even cuts it . . .

    One day Bush says he has confidence in Rumsfeld. The next day he fires said Rumsfeld. Are Bush’ comments random?

    So far, Obama has had more press conferences and answered more questions from the press than Bush did in a whole term. Obama answers in whole sentences that are more than platitudes. People around the world are gaining confidence in America. They admire us for electing a good person.

    This reminds me of one of the few Rush Limbaugh newsletters I read (Dad got them) back in the 90s.

    The relevant article was “Words mean things.” or something to that effect. Basically that the Democrats would say anything and not expect it to mean anything.

    I seem to remember we were knee deep in the stain on a blue dress and the definition of the word “is” at the time.

    Oh PU-LEEZE. The man doesn’t have the first idea what the word truth means. He is an empty suit who has had to resort to Clinton-retreads to assemle a cabinet. His ideas on capitulation to the UN and the international “community” will cost us dearly and take a generation to undo if we are even able to. He actually thinks Gorebal Warming is real and that somehow by driving the economy into the ground he can reduce energy usage. He and his non-cabinet, behind the curtain buddies, are Marxists intent on humbling the nation.

    The only way others in the world are going to “like” and “admire” us is when we are reduced to a third world nation lead by our own version of the Dear Leader for Life.

    Okay, since no one in the media or even the blogs has been able to latch on to this very simple political reality, I’ll say it first:

    Obama is not bringing these people into his cabinet to”hear from strong personalities,” but rather as cover for his policies.

    As I look at my crystal ball, I see the begin of serious trouble in both foreign policy and the economy, and these people who have signed on have no idea that, like his grandmother who raised him, they will be the first to be thrown under the bus when things go bad.

    He’ll propose something insane, and when people question it, he’ll say, “based on input from my expert team that I assembled, I have made the following judgment”…. [insert bad policy here].

    And, people like Gates, Summers, Volcker, Clinton et al will all have to bite their lip.

    It’s brilliant!

    It’s no surprise to many of us that Obama’s words were nothing more than empty rhetoric. It’s just irresponsible that they waited until after the election to ask questions about it. I don’t expect to see many of these types of questions though, because as Rush says, Obama is too big to fail and the press won’t let him, no matter how much of an abomination his administration turns out to be.

    Obama is technically not “President Elect” until after the electorial congress votes. Nor, technically, is there an “Office of the President Elect.”

    Now, the human gaff machine has nominated a sitting/serving Senator to be his Secretary of State? I thought the Constitution forbids any member (of either House) of Congress, who voted for a pay raise for any federal office, from leaving Congress to serve in an Office for which they have voted for said pay raise?

    Shouldn’t Obama know this little fact? After all, he did teach Constitutional law, did he not? Or is this just a “minor” technicality he is willing to overlook?

    Really. I seldom listen to him any more because of the halting way of speaking he has. How anyone can believe that is a sign of great intellelect is beyond me.

    As a member of a rather large astronomy club, it is my pleasure to hang out with a lot of really intelligent people. None of them have to stop in the middle of each sentence to think of what they’re going to say next. Their minds are much quicker than that.

    We have a place, all of us, in a long story–a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.

    I defy anyone to find ANYTHING Obama has EVER said that is THAT inspiring. And this not even from a man who bears any claim to being much of a speaker. Hmm … sounds a lot like Lincoln, doesn’t it?

    I don’t know of anything Obama’s ever said that he will do, follow thru on, stand behind, implement, attempt, you name it. There’s nothing he’s said that he won’t reverse 180 degrees. No position, no statement of principle, no expression of loyalty to a person or a cause. But he’s cool, isn’t he? I love the casual way he walks, like he doesn’t have a care in the world. The guy is cool.

    megalomania
    Main Entry: meg·a·lo·ma·nia
    Function: noun
    Date: 1887
    1 : a mania for great or grandiose performance
    2 : a delusional mental disorder that is marked by feelings of personal omnipotence and grandeur

    Did I mention he lies a lot.

    Le barack est tres cool. I don’t know if he lies a lot. I have never heard him speak the truth; “a lot” seems to imply that he occasionally tells the truth.

    I think he has cut a deal with NY Gov Patterson to get some Obamatron in as Senator from NY, will get Hill in as SOS, then fire her for “policy differences.”

    IMHO

    Well, I don’t disagree but then again, it took only 4 or 5 years for 25 to 30% of us Bush voters to feel the same way. If I hear “compassionate conservative” again I am going to barf.

    We tried to tell you, but this guy’s MO was to get elected. Nothing else. There’s no change coming from this windbag.

    The guy spewed a line of crap to get elected, and he admits publicly that he purposely said things he didn’t mean. No core, no convictions, no shame, and few people seem to give a crap.

    “It is important to note that if people trespass into private property, it is up to the property owner to take action to remove those individuals.”

    Say WHAT?!?!?! Since when does breaking and entering not warrant the police getting involved?

    These people are squatting on property that is not theirs, in houses that do not belong to them, and have a mindset that says, “Laws mean nothing, anarchy reigns and too bad. I want it, it is mine and there is nothing you can do about it.”

    This is the Liberal mindset at it’s basest form. “I am doing the owner a favor by breaking in, doing whatever the hell I want to his property, moving people in. I am a saint and rather than having me thrown in prison for years, I should be given a medal and the Key to the City”.

    this is unbelievable.

    Well, there is another law that I would put into IMMEDIATE effect were it me. that is the law that if you are an uninvited stranger and decide to break into my house, I have the right to blow your freakin head clean off your pencil neck. This is exactly what any homeowner in that city should do. They should lie in wait until this organ for eliminating human excrement decides to set foot into the building and end this situation once and for all.

    This country has most assuredly gone down the Rabbit Hole. I don’t even recognize it anymore, and it is only going to get worse over the next 4 years.

    New Zeland is looking better and better ever morning when I wake up.

    One day Bush says he has confidence in Rumsfeld. The next day he fires said Rumsfeld. Are Bush’ comments random?

    So far, Obama has had more press conferences and answered more questions from the press than Bush did in a whole term.

    But if he says nothing, what’s the big deal?

    Obama answers in whole sentences that are more than platitudes. People around the world are gaining confidence in trashing/bombing/gutting America. They admire us for electing a good person.

    Well, once again the loneliest troll in Trolldom has absolutely no idea what he is talking about and chooses to demonstrate that fact in writing on the Internet for all to see.

    President Bsh did not fire Rumsfeld you complete moron. Rumsfeld RESIGNED. What that means…since that thing you have that separates your ears is too small and is obviously being used merely to maintain the basic functions such as breathing fails to understand…that Donald Rumsfeld QUIT. In fact, he had attempted to resign several times previously, but President Bush REFUSED his resignation.

    So, why don’t you just stop already. You have got to be the biggest idiot on the net, and if you aren’t you are definately trying for the title. No one likes you. Everyone hates you and no..you are NOT worth the air you breathe or the space on this planet that you take up.

    Now for the last time…stay the hell off your mother’s computer, move out of her basement, get a job and enter the mainstream of society. Once you are finally cut her apron strings, you may just realize what an absolute twit and useless sack of phlegm shoved into a boy-bag you truly are.

    I mean, I have encountered some absolute idiots in my time…but GD…you really are in a class all to yourself. No, that is not something you should be proud of.
