Background: The White House press briefing room is being closed for 9 months for renovations. The President made a surprise visit today to greet the press corp on the last day of that famous room. It was supposed to be fun and frivolity.
The very famous Sam Donaldson asks a very funny question of "Should Mel Gibson be forgiven?" Your president responds (after a few seconds) in a way that makes many of us think he has no clue on how to deal with humans.
38 comments:
Cleverly phrased, "Your President responds". I guess he is not your President unless he is a democrat.
Sam Donaldson is about as bright as Helen Thomas. What a stupid %^#@*&$ question.
Sam Donaldson should of said ...
Thank you Mr. President from a "Has Been" to a "Never Will Be"
LOL
Hey collection, did you get the part as a security guard on prison break? How many finger nail clippers did you confiscate today?
11:07 anon: He's not my president because he was never elected and he's a liar, a miserable failure, and an embarrassment,etc.
Collection: How true!
thats very sad tx,
you probly out to see a doctor or a priest or something,
the bitterness is making you very unattractive
tx, he's my president EVEN THO he was improperly elected and is all you say. Without a script, the guy is amazingly inarticulate.
Is the president Ricky Bobby or is Ricky Bobby our president?
txsharon - you should move to another country - you are very mean spirited. Everything that comes out of your mouth speaks volumes about your character. You are very fortunate to live in this country where you are able to say the horrible things you do...IN MY OPINION...people such as yourself are an embarassment to our country.
Thank you for that comment Betty Boop.
I come on Barry's Blog like a local pub (for a little fun and conversation). If disagreement is involved then that is fine, however some of the things I have seen on here lately have been just uncalled for. Relax!!!
thank you tx for the link
now i understand why wise co keep going further for the republicans.
i would be embarrased if i were a dem
Betty, She is a sick person and needs help. I guess Bill Clinton didn't embarass her. Sleazy character is held in high regards with liberalism. I look forward to her posts because it exposes how sick these people really are.
Ahem!
I do not understand why the Democrats do not see that the reason "W" is President of the United States is because the Democrats FAILED to provide the public with a better option. Do not give me that tired old whine of how the Republicans stole the election from the Democrats. It is done and it is over.
When and the Democrats eventually will throw down their crying towels and present to enough Americans a better option than the Republicans then and only then will "their peeps" go back to driving the country into the ground just like the Republicans.
However, if the Democrats continue to ONLY spit and moan about the horrible job the Republicans are doing driving the country into the ground then the Republicans will be the ones who get to continue driving the bus.
betty boob
I think I have agreed with about .01% of what txsharon has said. I am none too fond of the personal attacks she and others on this site tend to resort to when presenting their opinions. However, she and EVERY other person here has the RIGHT to comment. Just as those of us who do not agree with the content or methods of some commentators we have the right to IGNORE their commentary. As far as txsharon being an embarrassment to the country, I disagree. She is among a dwindling minority of people in the United States who takes the time to formulate an opinion regarding the condition of anything outside the realm of her personal existence.
I tip my hat and applaud you, txsharon and every other blogger with a display name for having enough respect for your opinions to own them and share them.
Betty Boob? Watch the personal attacks that you denounce there MZ.
mzchief - you just reiterated everything I said. She has a right to say the things she does ANY way she wants to because she lives in this wonderful country we live in...the good, the bad and the ugly. Just as I have the right to express my opinions about her or anyone else who can't disagree without resorting to what comes across as hatred. I enjoy reading everyone's comments regardless if I disagree or not...but to resort to UNNECESSARY, hurtful words...is just that, unnecessary. I would never "applaud" anyone who enjoys slinging mud.
mzchief: Your comment is again interesting because, as I go back through the posts in my mind, we have agreed on MANY things and I have often typed: Agreed or completely agree. Maybe you haven't seen those posts.
I guess it is perfectly fine that the certain people constantly levy insults at other people here but when we fight back you (collective you) cry foul. That is so typical.
I would find it refreshing to have a civil debate here on any of the issues and I often provide links to FACTUAL information. That information is never countered with any kind of facts that dispute what I have presented, only more attempts at insults. I just assume the culture here is sarcasm and snark.
To txsharon...
There is a difference between YOU agreeing with the comments I have posted and ME agreeing with the comments you have posted.
Let me make it perfectly clear. I think your political position is at best myopic. Your political view tends to see only the worst in one party and believe there is only good in another. As for you posting “factual information”, I spend the majority of my time “presenting facts in the light most favourable to my client/cause.”
The Democratic and Republican parties are run, staffed and generally supported by self-serving, self-righteous, belligerent, deluded and/or lying toadies who are wrong more often than they are right. I personally and professionally know many of these people and am not being harsh in my assessment of their abilities, purpose and contribution to their party.
As for people calling fowl when you respond to their taunts; you and I both know that is what happens so do not respond to taunts. The anonyNOTHING who calls you tweedle dee/tweedle dumb looks all the worse for being a jerk when you elect to NOT respond.
Keep this in mind; “When you wrestle in the mud with a pig you both get dirty but the pig enjoys it.” Make the choice to NOT make the pigs happy. It is YOUR choice and only you can make the choice that is right for YOU.
It just dawned on me that I completely forgot what the original topic was...I totally disagree, Barry. Number one, how was he supposed to respond to such a question? Secondly, I believe the President's job is so very stressful that he deals with certain things in that way, trying to be funny. I used to be married to a police officer, they deal with some things in the same way...just a thought.
Mz chief, where can I find emer pig's, I think they might be mine, I lost a few here while back,
Mzchief: You couldn't possibly know my political position from the limited amount of posting that I have done here just as I couldn't possible know yours. I believe you, as certain others, are assuming much about me.
It is true that most of our current, so-called, leaders are self-serving and despicable. However, there is only one party that has been in complete control of our government for quite some time now and the result is not desirable. I am supporting any candidate who is not a corporate pimp no matter what the party. For example: If I were in Ron Paul’s district, I might, after more research, vote for him.
We are all just a bunch of dumbasses. Some smarter than others, but still dumbasses. I think we can all agree on that.
To anonyNOTHING 1:53...
I strongly disagree with YOUR assumption and supposition.
You may speak for yourself but you do NOT speak for me.
dumbass
Sharon Sheehan, We know exactly your political positions because of your unlimited postings and links to kook websites. Liberal socialism doesn't sell around here. A hezbollah sympathiser is about as popular as a KKK grand wizard. But I support your right to express your ignorance.
Okay betty boop, let me get this straight: Because I vehemently disagree with a man who is supposed to work for me and complain that he has done a deplorable job (which he has) and because I post a picture of him obviously drunk with more beer obviously in the wings, I am an embarrassment.
LOL!
Just because he is in the room with alcohol does not mean he is drunk. I could follow you around taking pictures of you and find one that would make you look like you were having a siezure. Yes, you are an embarrassment. But I respect your right to mumble. Please link to where Bush compained he has done a deplorable job.
Oopsie! Was that a pig wrestle?
Mumble, mumble. Hey Tx, I have a question for you. If you could save the victims of one of the following two events, which group would you save? 1. The victims of hezbollah's ambushes, rockets and missiles over the past 3 weeks or 2. The victims of Mel Gibson's repulsive outburst of anti-semitic venom.
Wow, are we off subject around here. Please allow me an observation without further comment: Mzchief is able to state simple arguments with entirely superfluous and excessive verbiage while claiming superior knowledge or analysis without benefit of a scintilla of demonstrable evidence.
I guess Tx's lights are on but she is out on sick leave.
7:36...right on. Just about everything she says should be common knowledge, only wrapped in a fancy package. That is why I say we are all really just a bunch of dumbasses trying to get a long in this world.
txsharon, your opinion is that our President is an embarassment, mine is that you are.
And mzchief, calling me Betty Boob made me chuckle, wish I had thought of that blogger name, would have been more interesting...
*BLuSH*
To betty boop...
I truly did not mean to type "boob" instead of "boop." Thank you for being so good humoured and understanding I meant no offense and made an unfortunate typo. I am ever so grateful you did not take offense.
Again, thank you for your good nature and understanding.
Im still lookin fer em er pig's.
What is the big deal about that video? He is clearly making a joke regarding Sam Donaldson.
Friends can tease friends.
Your president responds (after a few seconds) in a way that makes many of us think he has no clue on how to deal with humans.
Please.......
The only reason "many" of you would say or think that is because you have so much hatred for Bush so, you will knit pick everything he does and totally construe it into ignorance.
Sycophant
mzchief - your comments about both political parties is right on.
I am ashamed of the Democratic Party. They have let the radicals speak for the moderates. And rather than get involved (yeah, me too), we've just sat back and let it happen.
Look at Wise County as an example. Democratic party meetings are dismally attended. Republican meetings are well attended.
Folks switching parties (because the R's are closer to what they believe, (some have said publically). What is the definition of a lie? And this person is in a very very high position and is more of a Democrat than most Democrats! It's about smelling the air and figuring experience will hold the position better as a switcher if an opponent emerges to challenge for the nomination eventually. And the thing is, there are good folks out there who could do it better.
The whole political system is just sad.
And by golly, I don't trust party switchers. Period!
