Oh snap! Obama disses Rutherford B. Hayes!

[Sallow]

Okay, what is with the issue on this?

If President Obama made that comment it surely wasn't a diss of President Hayes. IT WAS A FRIGGING JOKE ALREADY and if it wasn't so old, it might have been funny.

I have to admit that I didn't think our current President had it in him to deliver a punch line even it it was as old as he is.

Immie

It is an issue because Obama said it. PS: TILDEN GOT MORE VOTES TOO! ; )

He said something today, I fully expect that there will be a conservative uproar about tomorrow.

Trivial as it was..

 

[Immanuel]

I thought Rutherford won the Indy 500.

Yeah, in 1974, 1976 and 1980 according to Wiki.

[ladyliberal]

That's right. Said that Rutherford picked up the telephone and said something like, "That's nice, but who's going to use it?". Obama said that's why he's not on Mount Rushmore.

I am sure FOX is going to be in a tizzy over this.

And Biden? That man threw down some smack on the GOP.

Said they were the party of the priviledged that wanted:

-No Rules.
-No Risks.
-No Accountability

For the "Job Creators".

Oh..it's on!

odd. for being in such a tizzy, they don't seem to have mentioned it on their website. Could you, perhaps, be full of shit? Quite likely.

I don't know if it was up when you posted, but it is certainly there now as I post: Obama Mangles History, Smears 19th Century President - President Obama - Fox Nation. They used the rather slanted headline, "Obama Mangles History, Smears 19th Century President".

I thought Obama's comment was a bit glib and disrespectful (it was also historically incorrect, apparently) but he's certainly correct that Hayes was not a great president. On Reconstruction, his heart seemed to be in the right place, but following a disputed election he was unable to prevent the civil rights of Southern blacks from being severely curtailed.

Rutherfraud B. Hayes, as he was known. He got in by giving up the blacks in the South...

No Jefferson, FDR, or Adams was he.

Doesn't Obama have anything better to do? Like work on his golf game or contemplate how he is going to spend Maher's money?

When did he get Maher's money?

After he started to support Super PACs which he was against. However, Obama places money over principles which is not surprising.

And is "golf" something new to Presidents? Does the current President play more golf then the last President?

Perhaps you have been in a coma, but Bush was a fuck up and trying to compare Obama to Bush is like using Rosanne Barr as a standard to pick up women. Seriously, you need to have higher standards. Yours are appalling.

No candidate can support PACs. If you are going to discuss them..at least know the facts. And Bush is the conservative and republican hero. He's is the benchmark that should be used when understanding what the conservative agenda will be.

Obama: Full Flop.

The president has railed against such unlimited fundraising and spending, especially by organizations that are not required to disclose their spending or donors. He also specifically opposed a January 2010 Supreme Court decision, Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, that paved the way for super PACs by preventing the government from restricting independent political spending by corporations and unions.

Anyone who uses Bush as a benchmark is dumbass. He was terrible. However, that doesn't stop liberals from sinking down to his level. So much for hope and change.

 

[francoHFW]

Obama's like Clinton, without the playing around, WITH WAAAAYYYY overdue health reform...

Rutherfraud was a schmuck cronyism/scandal/boom and bust Pub. Now, Grover Cleveland- there was a Buffalo guy- couldn't keep him down lol...

No getting around Bush now..conservatives rammed him into the white house. He was an example of just what conservatives want to do. Ruin the country..and turn it over to private corporations. The Grover Norquist agenda.

And PACs were ruled legal by the Scalia court. Don't like it? Take it up with him. The very same conservative hero that gave us Bush.

I see that you jump through hoops to validate Obama's support for Super PACs. Like most liberals, you have no principles. Your principles are dictated by the principles of Bush, Norquist, and Scalia.

Really fucking sad.

And Obama pays back his donors with plenty of interest. More than half of Obama’s 47 biggest fundraisers, those who collected at least $500,000 for his campaign, have been given administration jobs. Nine more have been appointed to presidential boards and committees.

Bush is what conservatives consider a "success".
