OT - Obama confesses to being a socialist and a foreigner

[49er]

"These days, I look in the mirror and I have to admit, I'm not the strapping young Muslim socialist that I used to be," Obama said. "Time passes. You get a little gray."

"I'm also hard at work on plans for the Obama Library, and some have suggested that we put it in my birthplace, but I'd rather keep it in the United States," he said.

Comments from White House Correspondence Dinner which was was quite funny in my opinion. Even Newt Gingrich thought so

You are aware this was part of a roast and was said in joking about all the rumors out there, right?

[Todzo]

I confess that I am, at times, a SleepyHead.

Yup, that is the point of starting the thread

Are you saying you thought I was serious?

[Todzo]

I confess that I am, at times, a SleepyHead.

Are you saying you thought I was serious?

49er

Since I have already confessed to possibly being a SleepyHead, does it matter?

Some are already quoting the jokes as if they are statements so I wasn't sure if you were serious or sarcastic. I generally avoid political threads so I don't know anyone's bent.

So you already popped the popcorn?

Sorry Todzo, I didn't understand your initial remark and was just trying to get clarification. Didn't mean to offend you.

Oh, I figured people would quote the jokes like they were statements. In my opinion, it is funny and pathetic at the same time.

Ah, I forget that not everyone reads the political threads. I am also one of those evil socialists:)

Now I need to ask you for clarification as I don't understand your "popcorn" question. My friend "google" was totally unhelpful as it led me to popcorn sites:)

[Lugus]

You do realise President Obama's confession about being a socialist and foreigner were made on the advice of his legal team so if he is impeached he can say 'I admitted to that in a public function' therefore he was not hiding it.

Sorry got to go, the Tea Party bus just pulled up.

Would have been easier to "get" had there been a smiley in the Subject.

[Pugsy]

Now I need to ask you for clarification as I don't understand your "popcorn" question.

"Whose bringing the popcorn?"
That's what we say when we see a thread that turns into some sort of argument or pissing contest or show.
Like at the movies....we need popcorn to eat when we are watching the show.
That's what us bystanders do with the OT threads that go south or get ugly.
We sit back and read and eat our popcorn and watch the show unfold.
That's why I don't respond hardly ever to OT religious or political stuff...I am too busy eating the popcorn and watching the "show".

[OutaSync]

Some shows are better than others, but the popcorn is always good.

[ems]

Well, 49er... at least you remembered to put OT in the subject line.

Socialists: When in college, I hung out with the local SDS kids.
Although encouraged, I realized it would be a bad idea to join or make any kind of paper trail.
--So I hung out anonymously. Like here.
