Obama says he ignored Beck rally

Obama just became a bit cooler in my book, all he has to do is wrestle a few bears and I might start considering voting for him over Vladimir Putin in 2012.

Yeah he does sound a little like Marie Antoinette doesn't he?

I completely agree. In politics, your opponents are always going to find a tool with which you bludgeon you. That being said, you don't have to go out of your way to hand them one, which is exactly what Obama did in the statement above. That quote serves to confirm the view that many people have of him as an 'elitest', and will appear repeatedly in campaign advertisements during the next presidential election cycle. Not smart, Mr. President.

Absolutely, sad thing is that is how he sees the citizens.This explains why despite outrage on everything from the health care bill to the mosque, he defies the very people who voted for him because he feels he knows better and we are just "pests"

Errrrrrr...one in five citizens apparently thinks he is a muslim and one in 4 think he ain't really american so given the crowd and some of their issues its a petty fair to view many of those citizens on the rally in that way.

A large number of Americans doubt his religion and growing number doubt his citizenship.

What is sad is that so many people can be so obviously dumb.

Whats sad is that this is even a question....

What religion is your president?? Durh... ehhh... gee I dont really know.

Name me one president where his religion was not apparent or at least a face of apparentness.

I thought his religion was Liberation Theology personally.

What would you have him do about the mosque? He did the only thing he could do and you know it.

He could have not commented on it in the first place. IMO Takeda nails it on page 1:

I could just hear everybody if he said "No comment". Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Well at least he was smart enough to NOT make a public statement in which he tries to paint them all as 'birthers' in a 'glib and off the cuff manner' when the rally had nothing to do with that.

Oh yea that Sheehan woman was like totally dissed.
