   I believe BO is going to learn very quickly there are some things you just can’t say in public even though you’d like to. Tact and diplomacy is not one of his fortes.

   I guess we should be encouraging him though. Hopefully he’ll unleash Biden to really make things interesting.

   Speaking of that, doesn’t he know the guy response is not to make fun of a woman and her weight?
   “Do I look fat?”
   “NO. You look great!”

   Do you ever tire of misrepresenting things in order to bring down Democrats? It really does show how lost and helpless Republicans are at this moment in time, that they cannot challenge Democrat’s on substance (and no, Rush Limbaugh calling for yet more tax cuts like a broken record is not substantive or even remotely relevant), so you create incidents that aren’t there and attack Democrat’s for it. I’ve heard of a strawman argument, but Malkin sure does take it to dizzying heights of grotesque idiocy.

   Obama was clearly referencing the caption on the cover of the magazine, and laughing at how unimportant that seems. That’s very obviously what he was doing. Even though you know you’re wrong, Malkin, I know for a fact you’ll be referencing this imaginary slur against Ms. Simpson for months.

    If you think Democrats haven’t been challenged on substance on this blog, then you haven’t been paying attention. What Obama is being challenged on in this thread is his character and his manners, which is something that liberals apparently care little about.

    It is obvious Omu doesn’t have a “significant other”. As a young man I quickly learned the first rule for dating women. Always lie about a women’s weight. Our Michelles jab at Obama simply shows another part of his personality. The MSM didn’t vet him in the election cycle. This is just part of that process.

    Um, it’s inappropriate for a man to make comments about a woman’s weight. PERIOD.

    But, by all means, keep defending Obama. Is there nothing that he says or does that you won’t defend? Messiah complex indeed.

    Something just isn’t quite right. I’d love to know who is pulling the strings on obummer. For all the talk about his “education,” he’s just not that smart…he can’t give a speech off the cuff to save his hide, he’s associated with the shadiest of characters, and in his elitist manner, he has, in less than two weeks in office, verbally attacked one citizen (Rush) and dumped on another. These are not the actions of a president, or even a half-savvy politician. I know big labor and big media have his back, but he’s left too many bodies along the way, ruffled too many feathers, already alienated the very people he said he’d “reach out to” (ha bloody ha,) so I keep wondering just who handles his leash and what they’re getting out of it. Yeah, it could be a collective effort from libs in general, but I just sense there’s a lot more to it than we’ve seen yet, and we’ve already seen tons. This latest showing of a complete lack of class on behalf of his royally annointed self also makes me wonder just how much further he can get without completely self destructing. Even a useful bunch of idiots like msm will start noticing and reporting…I forsee a lot of fallout, a very hard four years for the sound-byte-in-chief, and an LBJ moment when it gets so bad that o-blama either can’t or won’t run for re-election. Kudos to the liberal posters so loyally swallowing the koolaid and trying to deflect well deserved criticism from The Chosen One…no, it’s not fooling anyone, but it’s always amusing to see any form of loyalty from the constituency that so routinely trashes the military and America in general!

I mean, it’s so obvious that he was laughing at that, that it’s shocking how willing everyone on this blog is to remove themselves from reality to score a cheap shot against their president.

    Joke all you will, but it doesn’t say much about MM that she’d link to a site with an incorrect transcript (frankly, because she wouldn’t have a story if it was corrected), especially when the video was literally two minutes long.

    It means one of two things:
    1. Michelle doesn’t independently verify her sources (so much for being a journalist).

    2. She did watch the video, and was aware of the mistake, but STILL chose to link to the misleading site.

    bluesoc, either way, you are just trying to excuse obama laughing about a womans weight. That used to be considered rude in polite society. I guess “hopeandchange” means obama never gets called on anything even if it would have gotten a republican in deep trouble.

    It’s easy to say you’re not being challenged on substance when you simply dismiss what your opponent says as irrelevant.

    Rush Limbaugh thinks he is an economist. He isn’t.

    You also display your profound ignorance by lumping us in with Republicans. Very few people on this site have any sympathy remaining for the Republican party, and many of us now consider the GOP to be part of the problem.

    Michelle Malkin is a Republican in every sense of the word. Mean spirited, obsessed with character assinations, holding egregious double standards, does not understand the economy at all, posessing an irational fear of gay people, casually racist and convining, scheming and dishonest. She is a Republican in every way.

    I’m glad Michael Steele was elected as the party chair. At least the GOP has a chance to break free from the Christian fundamentalists that have given the GOP it’s bad, bad name.

    I don’t think he was laughing at her weight. He was laughing about being bumped by a headline about her weight. Perhaps subtlety isn’t your forte.

    If Obama’s worst mistake/crime/faux pas these last two weeks was an inappropriate comment about a woman on the front cover of a tabloid, we’d be in ok shape.

    US Weekly, of course, is the magazine run by an Obama supporter than runs Obama family hagiographies while slamming Sarah Palin over her daughters poor decisions.

    Of course, the premarital sex was a poor decision on Bristol’s part, but she made the choice for life instead of death, which added to the libs anger.

    Republicans have a track record of not respecting women, so there would be legitmate suspicion is a Republican made that comment. Only last week, a former GOP leader was dismissing the editor of Salon.com on TV, saying he was glad she wasn’t his wife so he wouldn’t have to listen to her prattling on all day.

    Women distrust the GOP, and for a good reason.

    Ha! You think you speak for this woman?

    Liberals like you, and every single one who bashed Sarah Palin prove that liberals don’t give two sh**s about women unless those women are liberal.

    If we’re not, liberals mock us, belittle us, call us fat and brainwashed. So don’t even pretend the Democrats are champions of women.

    Oh…wait, you’re probably talk about “reproductive rights” (read: abortion), correct? Yeah…I’m not going to trust a party that thinks it’s my “right” to kill my child or entertains notions that limiting the births of children is in anyway beneficial for the economy.

    There is NOTHING in the Democractic platform that respects women who are conservative, religious, mothers, or pro-life.

    So don’t even try playing that card. The election of 2008 proved you’re full of crap.

    By the way, Michael Steele is Catholic, so this comment is laughable:

    I’m glad Michael Steele was elected as the party chair. At least the GOP has a chance to break free from the Christian fundamentalists that have given the GOP it’s bad, bad name.

    I trust Christian fundamentalists more than I trust liberals.

    He DOES say “who is in a weight battle, apparently”

    Please go to this link:

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28967411/

    which is the MSNBC “Today” link, and please explain how:

    LAUER: But I wanna show you the cover. Look what they did. They — they took you off the cover.

    OBAMA: Yeah.

    LAUER: They took you out of it.

    OBAMA: It — it’s — it’s a little hurtful.

    LAUER: You got replaced by Jessica Simpson.

    OBAMA: Yeah, who’s losing a weight battle apparently. (LAUGHTER) Yeah. Oh, well.

    …specifically, how:

    OBAMA: Yeah, who’s losing a weight battle apparently. (LAUGHTER) Yeah. Oh, well.

    is not saying:

    …“who is losing a weight battle, apparently”.

    (Your words.)

    Hint: “who’s” is the contraction for “who is”…they mean the same.

    Nah, just stupid libtard women, and we have no more disrespect for them than we do stupid libtard men. At least your moonbat women are more butch than your libtard men.

    Funny, actually, Bush put women and minorities in high positions in his administration, like national security advisor, secretary of state, AG, not because he is a follower of ethnic/gender quotas like Clinton so obviously was, but because he felt they were the right people for the job.

    BTW, libtards hold women, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, gays, any perceived “victim” who wanders off the reservation of set asides and preferences in deep scorn.

    Or have you forgotten that the minority woman who runs this blog has a roughly weekly column of her recent hate-mail, most of which is filled with insults directed at her gender and ethnicity?

     Their behavior reminds me of how Scientologists react when you make fun of their cult. They simultaneously deny its a religion and attack you for religious intolerance.
