So... the people that had no problem with GWB calling a reporter an asshole

[scheming daemons]

On an open mic, are having the vapors over Obama calling Romney a bullshitter in a magazine interview?


Spare me the faux outrage.

1. Or Poppy Bush calling Paul Wellstone...

...a chickenshit.

[gateley]

2. Obama should say "You should hear what we call him when we're not talking to a reporter!"

3. didn't cheney have a little profane moment himself....F bomb?

what hypocrites.

4. Well...being caught on an open mike is different from an intended public statement

in an interview.

Part of Obama's image is that he's fairly respectful of others and presidential. Sure, in private say he's a bullshitter. But that quote, if accurate, won't be helpful. I think. Then again, this is a weird election.

8. Yeah well whatever.

Romney was anything but presidential and respectful of others during the debates, and pretty much all throughout the primary and general election seasons....calling Obama's ideas 'foreign', making that crack that nobody asks him to show his birth certificate, and more.

Romney says 'gosh' a lot. Obama said 'bullshitter' when referring to Romney. The truth hurts.

10. If the public has no problem

With Cheney telling a senator to "go fuck himself" on the senate floor and then gloating about it in an interview, I'm sure they won't have a problem a word that's frequently used on TV.

5. In a warped sort of way,

I actually like Bush a little better when I heard that. It wasn't as if he wanted anyone else to hear him. (Mind you, Bush will always be the asshole, but, you know..)

6. As if no President before him used profanity!

This is nothing new. Truman used a lot of colorful language. And listening to the oval office recordings of LBJ and Nixon could make anyone blush.

7. I don't think there will be much outrage--mostly because the GOP doesn't want

to have to confront the inevitable question: IS Mitt Romney a bullshitter? I think we all know the answer.

9. So, the rw can take their faux outrage and shove IT up their stupid

ass.

11. Maybe Fox should think about what the president was warning us about.

No they are not paid for that.

[lonestarnot]

12. No fucking shit!

[lonestarnot]

13. Can I vote twice? LOL

[IL Lib]

14. He called it correctly

He is a bullshitter.
