Obama Calls Romney a Bullshitter in Rolling Stone Interview
54 replies, posted
[quote]Just when you thought President Obama couldn’t stoop any lower, here he goes again. In an interview with Rolling Stone (yet another hard-hitting media outlet for President Hip-Hop) he said this about Mitt Romney: ”Kids have good instincts. They look at the other guy and say, ‘Well, that’s a bullshitter, I can tell.”
No, really. He projects too much!

Worse, that was in response to a Rolling Stone editor, who told Obama that he had asked his six-year-old what she wanted him to say to the president. She said to tell him, “You can do it.“
And Obama’s first thought was that this six-year-old child could see a “bullshitter.”
What a disgrace! We suppose such childish, stompy foot and low-class behavior should be expected from President Obama at this point. It’s predictable. And one could surely toss the old school-yard taunt “it takes one to know one” right back at him.

But, you know, most people aren’t the President of the United States.
For shame, President Classless.
Twitter users agree.

Thankfully, he won’t be the sitting president for long. We can see November from his shame.[/quote]

I thought it would be entertaining to post this source.
Haha, anyway, here's a source that isn't fucking retarded:
[url]http://www.firstpost.com/world/obama-calls-rival-romney-a-bullshitter-503773.html[/url]
Obama seems like he's fed up with all the shit slinging and just wants to tell it straight.
Mad props to him.
Somebody should show the author Anne Coulter calling Obama a retard.
The bias in this article is hilarious.
Takes one to know one.
Probably more blunt than it could or should have been said from the guy running against him but yeah, Romney is what I would call a bullshitter. He appeals to dogmatic far-right conservative positions on the campaign trail and then every time he is in front of a national audience he puts on a new face.
Nice to see he's not going out of his way to find an overly polite way to voice his opinion.
He's more consistent than Romney, but it's pretty clear by some of his ads and when he speaks in front of different crowds that he's still another bullshitter in American politics.
You can't get to where he has without it these days.
They both lie about shit all the time, or bend facts, so surprise surprise people in American politics lie. I'm sure The Rolling Stones will win an award for this groundbreaking journalism.
Lol the bias article, he wont be president for long. Yeah okay, have you seen the electoral polls?
The source is just fucking terribly hilarious.

I dunno I think they truly think this
But he did bullshit.
It's not obama being arrogant or classless. He has genuinely bullshitted his way through the election.
Which Romney was he talking about exactly? Moderate Romney, Tea Party Romney, Governor Romney, Debate Romney or Third Way Romney?

No he is just happy that he gets to spew bullshit in a way that makes him look good.
Romney is a scumbaggy sort of guy anyways, everything he says sounds like bullshit. Obama is sorta a bro, he seems really done to earth, so his bullshit often sounds genuine.

I don't think anyone [sp]sane[/sp] on Facepunch believes Romney is literally Hitler, so it's no secret there's ridiculous bias on both sides of the media...
This website gets me so aggravated. Not even on liberal sites is there this much bias towards the opponent. Hence why this site is shit and nobody has ever heard of it.

it's not irresponsible, it's calculated. Fox nation, limbaugh, politicians, they know people will react and focus on stupid shit. It's cause for people to-
A: focus on said politician and keep them in the spotlight (palin and trump's only way to stay relevant)
B: focus on issues that don't affect anything instead of thinking about the ones that do; gay rights will not affect anyone who gets mad over them, however if you are blinded by that fact (or other inflammatory talking points), you won't pay attention nearly as much to taxes, wealth distribution, jobs, or the fact that "I have a five point plan" isn't actually a plan until he mentions what is being done in it. [url=http://www.mittromney.com/jobsplan]"it's a plan", "It'll be good", "it'll do good for the US", "It'll cut debt", and "Champion business"[/url] are great GOALS, but they are not plans- they are the end result.

well it's irresponsible in the fact that the media will do this shit to the point where it's destructive to politics
there is nothing constructive to come out of such sharp bias, and the fact is there are people out there who believe this kind of stuff and this kind of journalism doesn't help

The DailyKos is a blog that nobody cares about whereas Limbaugh is the highest rated radio host in the country and Palin was almost our vice president.
It's really not equitable.
conservatives dominate radio, fyi.
and yea people post articles from Daily Kos all the time.

hey whatever side of the argument people in here are on, can we stop calling using racially loaded terms to refer to the president 'bias' and start calling it what it really is, 'racism'?
