Obama says he ignored Beck rally

I did not know I had so much in common with President Obama. I ignore Glen Beck too.

You don't know what you are missing, Glenn beck is brilliant entertainment, its a bit of a toss up who is funnier him or O'reilly but both make me laugh, its amazing how they can put out such classic material and keep a straight face, true professionals who do the best parody of a unhinged wingnut in the world.

Truth be told these two get boring in about 5 minutes. There is plenty of other entertaining shows on TV. I'm partial to Sponge Bob myself.

I didn't suggest anything like that but at least to me he sure hasn't given he any indication that he's on anyones side besides his own.

I could tolerate him when he first went on CNN. But he quickly got boring.

I just don't understand his following. He has zero education in political analysis and zero experience in political analysis. He is an entertainer who has an opinion (one that seems to change with the marketability). But evidently there are those who look upon him as some pundit of politics. . Why would I care about an opinion of an uneducated, inexpereinced entertainer?

I just don't get it.

I don't think he'd be half as popular if the Democrats didn't keep talking about him.

Same here.

Well you probably wouldn't because you give thought to such things but there are enough people that don't to generate an audience large enough for his show to be successful. And of course, what he does isn't that hard. He pretty much just says what his demographic wants to hear.

Oh I recall hearing Bush Admin using "radical islam" "radical muslims" etc and saying war on terror.I remember reports on not only Fox news but pro Obama MSNBC etc that a memo via email had been sent around by Obama's people to not use the phrase "war on terror" but to use
"overseas contingency operations" instead.Not sure if it was same email or another but terms such as radical islam etc were ordered to not be used either.

Obama caters to muslims this way as well as taking their side in the mosque "thing" and tries to use the constitution he willingly pisses on when(health care mandate in obamacare etc) it suits him to make his argument.

No I do not look under the bed at night, I look in the closet

A couple hundred thousand people decend on DC and he didn't notice, right. I guess lobster does make you stupid.

So would it be fair to say that a very large proportion of his supporters on his rally were people who simply don't think.

People who think will understand that phrase "war on terror" was meaningless tripe which shouldn't have been coined in the first place.
As for not using the terms radical Muslims or radical Islam perhaps he is taking a lead from Bush who said these people were not muslims and were teaching a perversion of islam that ran counter to the core tenets of that faith and its teachings

Obama caters to muslims this way as well as taking their side in the mosque "thing"

Oh dear , the Bush page at the white house on the problems following 9/11 says freedom of religion is guaranteed and mosques and islam are fine ....its an American thing you see, an American thing which some are seeking to destroy themselves just like Bin Laden would be dreaming of.

I hear he was too busy looking for secret killer comets from the hidden telescope at the south pole

Certainly. But sometimes it takes a hell of an effort not to say anything
I know I'm being played, but still!

Hellua good stunt drawing all those pepole together.

If he did ignore the rally, he is either a fool or an arrogant so and so. I think he is not telling the truth. Certainly his senior political advisor, David Axelrod, briefed him on the rally. If he didn't he is even more incompetant than Obama himself.

[Bubblehead1980]

Oh he did not ignore the rally, he is one arrogant(unwarranted arrogance for sure) person but surely he was briefed on the rally at the very least.The dismissive attitude is called saving face, we all do it from time to time, act like something that bothers use does not so not to give our opponents satisfaction .Let's face it, he's most likely going down like a Thai hooker in 2012 and most of his cohorts will joing the unemployed come November.


Tribesman, the war on terror was not a meanlingless tripe, it was a phrase to describe the campaign to fight global terrorism, esp Islamic terrorism.

I am not against muslims or their mosques, they want to practice their silly belief system it's okay.What I am against is catering to Muslims, they come here and should assimilate, not expect special treatment as some bleeding hearts would give them.They should also be sensitive to things such as 9/11 as Americans and not build a mosque near there.The thing is the people building the mosque two blocks from ground zero are lead by an Imam who has made anti US statements, the mosque is a giant "F U" to the USA and brain dead overtolerant Liberals do not realize that or just do not care enough to be against it.

Bush catered more to them than he should have but nothing like obama and Bush did not have a muslim backround or muslim ties.Obama is not capable of being objective when dealing with issues relating to Islam, he has proven this.
