Dare we say that Romney is a raaaaacist? Two from the Blaze
Comedian D.L. Hughley appeared on Current’s “Joy Behar: Say Anything!†on Wednesday, where he issued a scathing assessment of Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s performance at the second presidential debate. In addition to claiming that he has a “tremendous amount of disdain†for the GOP candidate, the entertainer accused the candidate of speaking to President Barack Obama as though he were his servant.
“To me, watching Mitt Romney, who I have a tremendous amount of disdain for…I think that the way he talked to the president of the United States last night was like a man talking to a servant,†he told Behar.
More like the way a superior talks to an underling who is a total screwup.
Matthews later played a clip of the memorable exchange between Romney and Obama over permits for energy exploration on federal land, which are down over the last four years. As Obama attempted to interrupt Romney, he told the president “you’ll get your chance†to talk.
“I don’t think he understands the Constitution of the United States…He’s the President of the United States. You don’t say, ‘you’ll get your chance,’†Matthews said.
Yeah, you do. But, you know, dog whistles or something
Lipton added: “If Mitt Romney were the president and Barack Obama were the challenger, and these roles were reversed, and Obama treated Romney – the president in this construct – the way he was treated, you would have heard an outcry from coast to coast and you would never, ever hear the end of it…It is rude. It’s inexcusable. I think it’s a very, very sad day when the presidency, which has been under fire since Nixon — and particular this president — can be treated this way by someone who is an American citizen.â€
Last time I checked, Obama (and any POTUS) works for us, the American citizenry. Not the other way around.
Memeorandum has a pull from the Washington Examiner and Byron York on the Chris Matthews part.
The military also works for the people of the USA. Most people think they deserve a certain level of respect, the POTUS is the Commander in Chief of our armed serviices.
Oh really?
I am rather upset with how Obama talks to the American people, myself included. He may be president but he doesn’t have the right to condescend nor lie to us. He’s done both, on numerous occasions. He is also arrogant, so he doesn’t feel the need to show Romney any respect. That is not a sign of leadership. But nothing he has done so far, has shown any signs of that.
Nah, obama is god, the messiyah. You don’t even speak to the messiyah, let alone argue with him about his misspeaks.
However, it is perfectly ok to dress down, berate, and threaten Romney’s voters with being called slave masters and gunrunners.
