Sununu Unleashed: Obama Needs To ‘Learn How To Be An American’

what a creep he is! and always has been. It's genetic.

Now they are the 1 %.

and show us how he made his money.

Mitt Romney has only demonstrated he knows how to create A job for himself, and make money off the misery of other people.

The louder blowhards like Sununu scream, the more they try to change the subject, the more obvious it is that the tax returns are hiding dire secrets about Romney and his "character".

Where's his Birth Certificate???

That as Bush 41's Chief of Staff used a government plane to fly to New York City every week to get a haircut? Is this the model Sununu uses for "the American formula for creating business and jobs in America”. Or is this skill reserved only for white people in Sununu's mind. It is hard to understand what point Sununu is attempting to make because there is no context provided.

one type of attitude when he says that obama " “ has to learn what the American formula for creating business and jobs in America is.” but he does not describe how good americans view their civic responsibilities.
just because the rich want to privatize all public investments does not make it the model for the american way of doing things.

On edit, this was supposed to be a reply to post 6. John Sununu was nailed for using taxpayer funds to fly his ass all over the place, including to get a haricut.

If anyone read the transcript of Rush Limbaugh's rant yesterday, he was jumping up and down and flailing his arms to make the same lame point -- that Obama is "un-American". I can only guess why this theme resonates so well with the Republican herd. My guess is that the theme reaches deep in the human primordial psyche and plucks one of the major emotions that humans developed -- the US versus THEM emotion, the "our survival depends on destroying THEM" emotion. That's the sort of emotion that Republicans want to hammer on, not because they are looking to attract independent voters to their cause, but because they calculate that all they need to win is their current herd of Republican-bots animated to the maximum possible capacity of hatred and anger. That, and a few voting machines that somehow didn't get "calibrated" correctly.

'Us vs Them,' and they just can't get beyond it.

Welcome.

To explain how unamerican the republican congress is in blocking all the job creation bills the president has tried to put forward instead focusing on repealing health care.

I get that the bain thing is hurting romney but we need to change congress as well if anything is going to get done besides re electing Obama.

a mean, brash prick.


I guess I was right.

At the White House Sununu had a reputation for kissing up and pissing down. He was hell on his staff, prone to verbal abuse.

There's a famous story (famous in the disability rights movement, anyway) about Sununu meeting with Congressional sponsors of the ADA--among them Senator Kennedy, and Congressional staff. This was a meeting at the White House to discuss the final details of the bill. Sununu kept raising these bullshit objections that had been hashed out long before -- like, the ADA will force every ski lift in New Hampshire to become wheelchair accessible, and crap like that. One of Kennedy's staffers, Bobby Silverstein (great unsung American hero, by the way) kept knocking down Sununu's pathetic arguments, until Sununu erupted and began screaming abuse at Silverstein. At which point Kennedy stood up, slammed his hand on the table in front of Sununu, got face to face with him about two inches apart, and said, "You don't yell at my staff! You want to yell at someone, yell at me!" People in the room actually thought the two were going to get physical, there in the White House conference room. Instead, Sununu backed down, and didn't say another word for the rest of the meeting.

Probably, he went back to his office to yell at people who couldn't answer back, or maybe kick his dog or something.

People in DC during Bush I actually made a verb out of his name. To go on a rant against a staffer or someone lower in the political pecking order than you were was to "Sununu them." As in, "I just met with the Congressman and got royally Sununu'ed.'

Wonderful man, and a great Republican too.

... he actually thinks having public infrastructure is somehow "un-american" and bad for business? That's insane!

would you care to detail how many public dollars went to beefing up Salt Lake City's and Utah's infrastructures when Mittens single-handedly "saved" the SLC Olympics?

You remember....back when he was on leave of absence from/ retroactively retired/part-time employed/sole shareholder/Chairman of Board/CEO/President/not involved with/earning $100K+/leading several companies of Bain?

In order to avoid conflict of interest with Olympics while maintaining Mass residency for gov run and continuing to rake in maximum dough before establishing no ties with Bain before filing to run for President?

Please. Inquiring minds want to know...

Subway sandwich. And then he flew back across it to get a haircut. And then he flew to Europe to get a cup of coffee. And then he flew to Canada to do some grocery shopping, before finally flying home for the evening, after a brief detour to Mexico for a bottled water.

smoking pot as a teenager WAS part of being american.

Sununu can go Cheney himself

however its very repug in its essence. they can say whatever they want, and they cry when we fight back.

obviously a racist/birther.

Say something outrageous to get people talking that

Waaaa!!!! Waaaaaa!!!!

a Republican flips out and starts screaming like a frustrated toddler, which does happen very often.

the last time i was in a walmart a 10yr old was riding a display bike around the store...

That takes some talent!

drying up?

that Sununu is the ultra right wing nut job we knew he was for the past several years......I wonder what this idiot charges to haunt a house..

Wanting to fix the infrastructure is un-American? What is this guy hopped up on?!

The right wing noise machine would be screaming treason.

This is disgusting. The attacks on this President on this level has been unprecedented at least in my memory and I'm 48 years old. I don't remember anybody implying the President of the United States wasn't American enough.

needs to learn how to be a human being instead of a heartless bastard.

For Bush's failures.
