Exclusive: Obama's Disrespectful Behavior at Ground Zero

It is difficult to screw up an appearance at Ground Zero on September 11th. You have to be either completely oblivious or completely indifferent. It is a signal feat of idiocy.

And yet Barack Obama accomplished it.

John McCain and Obama visited Ground Zero together. Obama and McCain entered the site. But while McCain took the time to shake hands with uniformed firefighters and a construction worker with an American flag helmet, Obama ignored them and stood around.

But he wasn’t done yet. Both McCain and Obama brought roses to place on the makeshift 9/11 memorial. Obama casually tossed his rose on the memorial, looking somewhat like Don Barzini tossing a rose on Don Corleone’s grave near the end of Godfather I. McCain and his wife, by contrast, approached the memorial gingerly, then placed the roses with care on the memorial. In c ase you were wondering, Michelle Obama was back in Chicago tending to the children – she somehow has time to accompany Barack to the DNC, but not to Ground Zero on September 11th.

Small gestures matter in large campaigns. That’s why Obama reversed himself on wearing an American flag pin. That’s why John McCain takes care with how he hugs Sarah Palin. In a campaign, everything is analyzed, re-analyzed, and over-analyzed.

And that’s why Obama’s flower-tossing exhibition matters. It demonstrates a lack of concentration, a lack of respect. Most of all, it displays no reverence. Perhaps Obama feels reverence. But his behavior at Ground Zero didn’t show that. Instead, it showed a man so concerned with himself that he wasn’t willing to take the time to shake hands with the “little people” or bend down to lay a rose on a monument.

That self-concern is at the center of Obama’s polling free fall. He has ranged far afield, away from policy and toward personal combat. He has done that because he cannot stand being personally affronted.

Sarah Palin attacked Obama’s community organizing. Obama responded by sending out his minions to talk about how Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate a governor. Meanwhile, he blundered into the “lipstick on a pig” controversy.

Obama attacked McCain on education. McCain responded with an ad accusing Obama of supporting comprehensive sex education for kindergarteners in Illinois. Obama came back with an ad talking about how McCain is old and doesn’t use e-mail.

The common thread is this: when attacked substantively, Obama counters personally. He gets angry, and he gets mean. He has read his own press clippings, and he believes them. He is The One. No one is allowed to attack him.

There are only two problems with such hubris. One is that Americans don’t like it. Arrogance bugs us. Ask John Edwards and Hillary Clinton.

The other problem is that when you believe yourself to be a messianic figure, you have to live up to that image – and you are bound to fail. Presidential politics is a game of attacks and counter-attacks, feints and bluffs, insults and retorts. It cannot be won up in the clouds – it has to be won in the mud. Even if your image demands that you remain the clouds, you will be brought down into the mud.

And so we see the new Barack Obama. The new Obama is no longer the “united we stand,” rhetoric-blowing giant. He is now the street-smart Chicago politician willing to unsheathe the knife on occasion. Only he’s not that street-smart, and it shows. Obama vowed to bring a gun to a knife-fight. Americans are beginning to realize that Obama’s gun is filled with water.

Obama’s behavior at the 9/11 memorial, then, represented two impulses. First, there was the anger of walking down to the memorial with the man who was sinking his highfalutin’ aspiration’. Second, there was the inability to bend down, even for a memorial.

And that betrays a disturbing lack of self-knowledge and self-restraint.

TYPO.




MAYBE HIS ASS HURT AFTER A NIGHT OF BEING ANALLY REAMED BY HIS TRANSVESTITE WIFE?



Good article. Any anti-Osama article is a good article.



HERE'S ONE FOR BUSH'S THIRD TERM.
TOO BAD I LIVE IN THIS SHIT HOLE AND HAVE NO REAL SAY IN AMERIKAN POLITICS.
:[

You know, McCain has been in politics a very long time and he certainly knows how to play the game. The only hope I have is that it's not just a ruse playing on the American people, and that he's not just wearing a mask to hide the content of his character. I hope that if he gets elected he'll do the men and women who died the real honor of leading our country out of the mess it has gotten into. Maybe Barack already knows that that will be his true responsibility as president. But the campaign is not a real example of the character within the candidates; they both lie, and they'll both cheat to try and gain the upper hand. So the real test will occur when one of them gets elected, and if the citizens have made the wrong choice, then maybe we'll have to exercise our rights and overthrow somebody for once.

We are screwed and or win in either case. If Mccain is elected and changes nothing and things stay the same and or get worse, then we are hosed, if he reforms government and controls spending, fixes energy etc, then we all win.

If Barack is elected and changes everything to big socialist government, more spending and higher taxes, we are all screwed, if he fails and things go from bad to worse, we win as thier will never be another democrat and/or black man as president again for a longgggg time.

Speaking of the whole "Actions speak louder than words" thing...

One man supports refocusing troops on Afghanistan, which the whole world agrees was a haven for Al-Qaeda; the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks.

Another man supports keeping troops in Iraq for 100 years, despite growing agreement that this conflict is better recruitment propaganda than Osama could ever have hoped for.

Wait, wait, wait...nevermind, let's talk about the manner in which flowers were placed on the memorial.

wait wait wait, lets talk about the manner in which Barack had led his life and the people he associated and aligned himself with and then lets top it off with his lack of accomplishements coupled with his arrogance and lack of reverence and character.

I wonder who Hussein Obama really went there to pay reverence to, the victims or perpetrators?

After all, wasn't it Hussein Obama's now conveniently erstwhile "spiritual mentor", Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who said that 9/11 was the "chickens comin' home to roost" for America???

There can be little doubt, therefore, that at least of Hussein Obama's "thoughts & prayers" that night were with Mohammad Atta & his gang of cowardly murderers.

Is it really surprising that someone who votes 3 times against a bill to stop infanticide would show any reverence for the dead?

His throwing a flower on a memorial is far less offensive than the fact that he is willing to let surviving babies from late-term abortions be thrown in waste bins to die.

Obama should always be aware that ALL eyes are on him, and should act like a statesman, even though he isn't one.

Haha, yeah...he's pretty scary with that middle name. No wonder he wants us to get out of Iraq, he probably wants to give it back to his family. Also, did you know that he refuses to swear with his hand on the bible, and that he was educated at a radical madrassa? And he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin. I've heard he wears a Muslim lapel pin on the inside of his suit instead. What really scares me though is that he's a black supremacist. And he wants to raise taxes on all of America! Probably to fund Hamas and Al-Qaeda! Did...did I mention he's...black?


Also, it's interesting how instead of arguing the issue at hand (respect to the victims of 9/11) you switched to another topic, abortion.

How about Palin, who agrees with mandatory conception even in the case of rape?

You're right! We should judge him based on the opinion of someone that he knows! He's a terrorist! Zeitgeist!

After watching that video, you should take into consideration that McCain can't really use his arms well at all. The guy can barely write, let alone type, and if you can tell, he could barely even put the rose on the memorial. If he had full use of his shoulders, he probably would have done the same thing. Regardless, the gesture is getting blown way out of proportion. They both put roses on the memorial and paid their respects. Leave it at that.

Are you serious?


You care that he tossed his rose in a disorderly fashion?


Wow.


GTFO.

Who really cares? Nobody says anything about the blatant disrespect that Bush has shown this country these past 8 years.

I did argue the issue at hand and added supporting info and background to his beliefs with his reverance (or lack of) of aborted dead babies...

BUSH DOES IT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO SPOIL YOU.





Also, LOL @ this quote on the Youtube video.



That makes me laugh.

OK?

Who gives a shit about all of these stupid nuances? "HE DOESN'T WEAR A FLAG PIN HE'S ANTI AMERICAN"

Is it really that big of a deal? Resorting to such insignificance to make a guy look bad?

Wake the F*CK up people, there are MUCH bigger issues.

I think our withdraw and retreat from Iraq back in 2007 as Barack would have done would have been even better recruitment propaganda than 9/11 or Osama could ever have praised alah for. And their you go again with the 100 years distortion, are we not still in Kuwait, Germany, Japan, Philippines etc, etc, etc... Did John say anything about not adding troops to Afghanistan?

McCain Calls For Troop Increase In Afghanistan
Speaking a few moments ago in Albuquerque, NM, John McCain issued a call to increase troop levels in Afghanistan, noting that the situation in Iraq is much improved.

and the argument that Barack was against the war from the beginning when all others voted for it based on faulty intelligence. EVERYBODY voted for it based on what was believed to be good intelligence/facts. Obama was against the war because of his partisan politics and socialist agenda at home and no other reason, not because he thought the intel was false.

Baracks words and I quote

"What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.

What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income - to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression. That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics. Now let me be clear - I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him."

Once the U.S. went into Iraq, Obama's position became much more nuanced. While he still opposed the war, he was not in favor of an early pullout. In 2004, he even talked about sending more U.S. troops to Iraq in order to stabilize the country as a prelude to an eventual withdrawal.

His Senate voting record on Iraq is quite similar to that of Hillary Clinton. Both senators waited until May 2007 before they finally voted to cut off funds for the war, on the grounds that the administration had not agreed to a firm timetable for withdrawal. They both voted against a June 2006 amendment proposed by John Kerry (D-Mass.) for the redeployment of U.S. troops.

Find a better arguement, those points all fail miserably...

The problem with Obama is he did not and does not see the bigger picture abroad. This chess game started a long long time ago, and it take many months and years to plan, mobilize and execute a war in the middle east. I think Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Lebanon and any other country who supports, trains and harbors radical Islamic terrorists is in scope. Remember this speech?

Obama would have voted against the war and terrorism would have grown even stronger unabated and unhindered. They would and will continue to pursue death to America with even more destructive and shocking methods (BioChemical/Nuclear or other). We/America slept through the Iranian Hostage crisis, embassy bombings, Saudi Barracks bombings, WTC 93 attack, Airliner attacks and teh USS Cole attack etc. without seeing that they had waged war on the US long before we reacted. Obama would like to have stayed asleep so we could work on his plan to socialize big government at home and resolve global poverty abroad when we have tens of thousands without homes and jobs in America.

I was simply amazed when a US warship was attacked in Yemen and America stood by and did nothing. No wonder 9/11 happened.

Ah, you just gotta love Conservative fear mongering.

correction, fact mongering... Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_02

After all, his middle name really IS Hussein...*badum* fact!
