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.

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.
