POTUS gets booed by UAW guys

[AZhitman]

POTUS, speaking at a Jeep Wrangler plant in Toledo, Ohio, made a wisecrack about the very product the plant produces, and it didn’t go over very well.

“There are always going to be bumps on the road to recovery. We’re going to pass through some rough terrain that even a Wrangler would have a hard time with. You know that”

Uhhh, ok.

I'm not sure he knows a lot about driving a vehicle, considering his living arrangements... but whatever. Kinda a dumb thing to say.

[bigbadberry3]

*yawn*

[telcoman]

*yawn*

[AZhitman]

You'd think the UAW would be lined up to polish his shoes.

After all, didn't he single-handedly save all their jobs?

[srellim234]

Only in your mind.

You know Greg I'm not sure where you get your news?
It appears to me it is either Fox or one of those hillbilly stations that you listen to?

I listened to most of President Obama's speech while driving home on MSNBC and I heard no reference to what you are talking about with any booing.

There is also no mention of booing Obama in the NY Times article above.

You need to update your news sources to obtain accurate information and stop believing the wacko right wing sources where you have been getting incorrect information.

I heard it. The boo was actually the groan and moan reaction you get from any bad joke told to a good natured crowd. He immediately had them listening, cheering and paying attention again with the next sentence. Calling it a boo and focusing on it is strictly something you get from people who are so focused on belittling the President and are so opposed to his Presidency that they are grasping at straws to find every little thing they can, real or imagined.

The same way those people insisted that you get over Bush "elections" once he was sworn in, these people need to get over the fact that Obama is the President. Beat him up on policy but quit nit-picking on all this meaningless cr*p. You weaken your serious arguments every time you lower yourself to this petty stuff.

[srellim234]

Here's a link to that part of the speech. Of course it's from the "Lonely Conservative." Looks like one of those jaded people I referred to above.

[AZhitman]

Of course - Duh, guys. I'm racist!

Haven't you seen all my witty jokes poking fun at Blacks and Arabs?

Get over yourselves.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Who called you racist?

[IBCoupe]

Senility's a b****, huh, Greg?

<3

[R/T Hemi]

Get over yourselves.

LOL. You leg an egg and want us to get over ourself.

You're still my bud dude.

[AZhitman]

Slow news day. BO doesn't generate much news when he's golfing.

BTW, no egg on my leg, but an omelet sounds gooooood right now.

At least a Wrangler can make it out of parking lots in Ireland. LOL

[szh]

Who called you racist?

As far as I can tell, here - by our actual racist Telcoman:

Hillbilly = racist?

I know a few hillbillies who'd dispute that as best they could with their collective three teeth.

[AZhitman]

Nah, I think it was the joke about Abdul and his flying carpet.

I don't take Howie's asinine comments about where I live personally. We're in in the 5th largest city in the US, while he's stuck in a state that resembles a third-world country.

I don't think it's fair to pick on the Zonies. In California we love them. Every year they flock to our beaches and leave tons of money, and return home with their daughters pregnant. That's why Phoenix is growing my friend. A few more years of summers by the beach and I'll bet you're the 4th largest city in America.

Okay. However, that seems to be what Telco believes: all people outside New Jersey are hillbillies and racist.

[IBCoupe]

What, you can read minds over the Internet?

[szh]

What, you can read minds over the Internet?

No. I use his specific words.

Well if you read the entire bill how about posting the paragragh that the hillbilly from Alaska called a death panel

So between failing on 911, failing on the Irag war, failing on hurricane Katrina, and the GOP spreading lies about Obama during the campaign that he hangs out with terrorists, and that an attractive hillbilly from Alaska would be an asset to the American people as a VP WTF!

Now the same wack jobs and wingnuts that were backing an unqualified hillbilly are spreading lies again about Obama's attempt to reform the healthcare problem. That was one reason why he was elected. Duh!

Some still remember your rantings duringthe campaign backing Bush, McCain and the hillbilly.

Hillbilly Rocket Science

You know you're a Hillbilly when:

"He needed killin' " is a valid defense.

You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

You know which leaves make good toilet paper.

You find 90 degrees F "a little warm."

There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 or more.

Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin wal-martin"or off to "Wally World.

You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.

A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop ... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor

What Hillbillies do:

If you forget a Hillbilly's name, refer to him (or her) as "Bubba" (or "Junior"). You have a 75% chance of being right.

If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.

If it can't be fried in bacon grease, it ain't worth cooking, let alone eating.

There is nothing sillier than a Northerner imitating a southern accent, unless it is a southerner imitating a Boston accent.

Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?"

How to spot a true Hillbilly:

Only a true Hillbilly knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption, and that you don't "HAVE" them, -- you "PITCH" them.

Only a true Hillbilly knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens,peas, beans, etc. make up "a mess."

Only a true Hillbilly can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."

Only true Hillbillies grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.

Only a true Hillbilly both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.

No true Hillbilly would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.

HUNTING

Two hunters were dragging their dead deer back to their car. Another hunter approached pulling his along too. 'Hey, I don't want to tell you how to do something, but I can tell you that it's much easier if you drag the deer in the other direction. Then the antlers won't dig into the ground.'

After the third hunter left, the two decided to try it.

A little while later one hunter said to the other, 'You know, that guy was right. This is a lot easier!'

The other added 'Yeah, but we're getting farther and farther away from the truck!'

I can't leave you without a blonde joke:

Did you hear about the blonde who needed gas money?

She sold her car for it.

[IBCoupe]

Hm. Not seeing any references to New Jersey or racism in any of those, there, Z.

[szh]

Adapting a famous quotation: "I know racism when I see it".

Z

[szh]

Telco, those words are from a comedian - Foxworthy, as I recall.

OTOH, your posts are certainly not made in jest, are they? Certainly not what I see them as.

So ... are you are now declaring yourself a professional comedian? Are we are supposed to treat all your posts as jokes from now on?

If not, then you are still a bigoted racist with no redeeming qualities.

Z

[AZhitman]

Hm. Not seeing any references to New Jersey or racism in any of those, there, Z.

Referencing a clueless and irrelevant post with an equally clueless and unrelated posts is kinda below your pay grade, I.

Seems to me there were several references to "Okies" in his recent past as well... then again, use of that term alone is a pretty good indicator of the mental capacity of the user.

[IBCoupe]

What the hell is an Okie? Fine, I'll Google.

EDIT: That doesn't seem so bad.

7. Okie

An inbred, mentally retarded, s*** kicker from Oklahoma.

And that was the worst of the bunch.

[AZhitman]

My guess is you weren't real good at picking teams for dodge ball.



We'll take the husky Arab kid. Go ahead, hit him with a ball and see what happens.
