(CNN) – Those following President Obama's prepared remarks during a speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Monday were thrown a bit of a curveball when it came to a description of his critics:
"Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they're not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That's not in my prepared remarks, but it's true," he told a crowd largely consisting of union members.

The line was a rare departure from a president who normally sticks close to the text of his speech and may forecast a more aggressive tone on the part of Obama as the midterms approach.
The address is the first of two speeches this week in which Obama will try and frame his administration's response to the recession, less than two months ahead of midterm elections where Democratic majorities in the House and Senate are on the ropes.

They will frustrate and hate you!!! BUTYOU WILL PREVAIL AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!
He must know he is a dog to make that comment. truth hurts. Have been a democrat for 46 years, but after that idiot got in office, I changed to the real party- republican! I have never seen such an egotistical, self-centered person who always blames everyone else for his mistakes.
Obama just doesn't like the fact that most Americans love their country and don't won't him to change it by turning it into some socialist utopia modeled after a sytem that has failed whenever it's been tried.The man has no shame and lies constantly about what he's doing and takes credit for things sucessful that he had nothing to do with like the recent removal of troops from Iraq which was agreed to months before he came to office as our president.
Now Obama knows how Bush felt during the Obama campaign. Obama said some pretty nasty things about Bush and the GOP, he is getting a taste of his own medicine. It comes with the job, if Obama doesn't like it he can always resign!!!
I watched the president's speech today! What a shock! He has lost all his presidential charm and is now in "community organizer" mode.
It was hard to watch
What a shame!!!
According to you online CNN polls: Who would you vote for this Nov Dems or Reps the Dems has a 12 pts lead. I think people will use their common sense and see President Obama has work his A$$ off for all Americans. This will go down as the biggest comeback victory for the Dems in history.
It's time the President takes a stand on the verbal abuses from the Repubs. All they do is complain, complain, but have done nothing to support those in Washington that have been working hard to bring our country back to stability. Thank you, Mr. President and all the hard working Democrates who have been working hard to clean up the mess left behind by the last admin.
Yes! GO OBAMA! Tell it like is!!!!!
Loved the speech. It had some fire to it. Love that groove he's in. We need that fire right now. Keep riding it POTUS!
HORRAY,Obama. now the rest of the dems, need to follow suit, and give the Republicans Hell. I for one am tired of the party of NO.
Sounds to me like an insult to the dog.
The Republicans that are ripping the President can not even come close to matching him for intelligence and passion. I mean John Boner-are you kidding...this guy cares more about his tan and his Scotch than the American people.
If America returns these Republican clowns to power in November–they get everythingn they deserve-problem is–the rest of us have to put up with it as well...
He nailed it. !!!!!! Thank You Mr. President
Less than two years in office – left with a huge mess to fix + the unexpected challenges like BP & the oil spill ... all people do is complain!
Yes, times are tough!
But just what do you think the GOP is going to do? When John Boehner was asked what the Republican agenda would be if they won election, the man smugly replied, “TBD" = “To be determined!”
The republicans believe, and have said so, that – if properly stoked – public anger alone can carry the party over the finish line.
They’ve also said that getting “bogged down in the issues” is a distraction and even a potential liability.
Totally simple minded to vote for a party that brags they have no plans or policies except to stir up foolish anger and so spineless they won't even discuss the issues!
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Obama's a moron. Too little; too late. It's time for new and effective leadership in Washington. Thank God the end of this train-wreck administration is nearing it's end.
First Obama uses racial attacks and now he is accusatory using inflamatory language. Well, Mr Bow wow it is your analogy and not theirs so if you want to be treated like a dog - keep messing up the White House and this nation
Obama has lost it -– Watch for this Teleprompter talking head to be aggressive – accusatory – mean – and a whole lot dishonest anout the GOP and amybody who teir to go up againat him. Obama has hurt this nation deeply first the likes of Pelosi Reid Frank and others must go -- and then it is time to Send mr Oblah blah home to Chicago
if it walks like a dog, barks like a dog, its a dog. and his wife is a pig
He is a DOG!
Man, talk about your thin skin. This is the sign of a man losing control big time..... a dog? Really, where does he get that?????
No leader worth his salt would ever let his anger/feelings get the better of him in this manner. Time to go home O'
That's the spirit! Call them out and don't back down! Sorry you have to stoop to the level of that but, it's time to fight fire with fire. After a while people get tired of turning the other cheek at the bullies and have to take a stand! GO! GO! GO! Tell the truth. It will ALWAYS be the best answer to the dumba$$es spewing hate, lies, fear and just plain CRAP from their CRAPholes! Beau Colby
Don't insult the dogs.
It appears our president is good at giving criticism not so good at taking it.
woof, woof. now roll over, Mr. President!
This idiot socialist is always blaming someone else. Being compared to a dog is to good for him.
Thats very unfair to dogs. but we definately do talk about you like a Muslim. You Punk!
If he thinks the politicians are talking about him like a dog he should hear what the average American has to say about him.
I can't believe he talked bad about dogs like this. Comparing himself to a dog is unfair to our furry friends.
I have never seen or heard a president who is more of a whiner than Obama. Bush faced much more criticism like a man, not a thin-skinned baby. As far as being treated like a dog, dogs deserve better treatment. They don't apologize for their owners like Obama is constantly apologizing for his country. Dogs try to do what their owners want. Obama doesn't seem to care what the majority of the people of the country need and want. It is all about what HE needs and wants. Dogs don't spend as much of their time on vacation. They spend their time doing their doggie duty. Dogs don't blame everything ineffective they do on the dog that came before them or on the other dogs.
Eat your kibbles and be quiet. This man is beyond buffoon status. He never learns, always tries to exploit polarities in gaining his way. Well, we are on to you, Impostor.
I dont talk as poorly about dogs as I do about this president...mostly because the dogs I know arent socialists.
At first, we thought he's just a Statist who views America as a flawed nation. Now we know that he's a gutless worm, as well! See you in November, president loser!
If President Obama fails at what he's desperately trying to achieve with all the head winds he has... then we all do.
I'm tired of the GOPuppets just saying NO and offering no ideas whatsoever. Those who all claim they have a plan, and won't say what it is, don't really have one, now do they.
They're really horrified to think that an ELECTED black man, and given the support he should have, drag this country out of the tail spin it was in before he was elected. Wanting him to fail is BS, plain and simple. I know in my heart that if the tables were reversed, Mr Obama would be doing whatever it is he could to help. I also believe that if McCain were President, especially with Palin in the WH, I'd be out of the country by now. Kind of a shameful think to think from a volunteer enlisted man during the Viet Nam war, huh? If we don't get our heads out of our no-nos and work together we're all doomed.
Hopefully come this November many of the voting Americans will have realized that they need to be well educated about the vote they are about to give and not vote with the lies, fears and prejudiced rhetoric they presently have before them!
Well, if the shoe fits, wear it.
if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Is he finally gonna let 'em have it – right in the teeth? I'll have to see more of it to believe it. Pleez, pleez, pleez show some fight, Mr. President.
Is about time the President start standing up strongly for himself. He was not Angry as you stated. But he was just telling the truth. The right wing media and the Republicans has raged dishonest and hateful war against this man. He is trying to fix the country. It will take time and any fool knows that you must spent money to make money. How else can it be done. Good onthe President. He will continue to fight hard for Us.
But please people don't put these Republican back into office this November. It will be a HUGE mistake. They will just Stall the wee bit of progress make so far and take us back into a Depression. Mark my Words.
Whose they? The media that stepped on Hillary to put you in the White House?
This is outrageous if these "powerful interests" are talking like our President charges, talking about him "like a dog." This is a gross insult to dogs everywhere.
Well gee.. You know the old saying... If it walk like a duck and quacks like a duck. Must be a duck.
In this case insert DOG
Huh? I never heard anyone attribute to a dog the things Obama has done to our country. Dogs are much nicer people – no arrogance or hatred for humans. Son please leave dogs out of this!
'Cause you are a dog. A Muslim dog. A commie Muslim dog. Who was born in Kenya. Trying to destroy the U.S. That's why.
Mr. President, now we know the low esteem in which you hold dogs.
Oh, poor me! I'm a victim now.
So much for those that said every word Obama utters is scripted. I guess not. He can be thin skinned spontaneously. How encouraging.
Sorry but I have to much respect for me dog to compare him to B Hussien O.
Time for Obama to get a thicker skin? Seems to be cracking up a bit.
I own a small Mfg. business,(15 employeees) and I was just watching cnn and felt compelled to comment.I am afraid to hire any new employees even though I could use a few more because I am uncertain of the health care plan and where the economy is going.It does not help that I am located in Ct. which is not very business friendly and with the local,state and gov. taxes it is killing any prospects of new hires.I have no idea if I will have any orders to fill in six months and to lay someone off that will collect unemployment off of me for over two years stifles any desire I have to seek out new employees.If and when the republicans regain control and stop the out of control spending and I can survive that long then it might ease my mind enough to start to have faith in new hires helping and not hurting my company's chances of staying in business.
Hooray for President Obama!! I like it when he gets a little fiesty. I think he is doing a fine job and he is digging us out of the hole the republicans got us into. Thanks President Obama.
I was embarrassed for the President today. His rant was a disgrace.
Well, if the shoe fits......
If the euphemism fits. We'll just refer to you as Ol' RED! You know, red, like a Communist.
How dare he insult dogs, they talk about him like an "Obama".
The man that made Jimmy Carter very happy!
Good for him! Only in America can a man who has educated himself, played by the rules and succeeded, can be talked about with such disrespect. The low class conservative entertainers and their minions, the Tea Party, have brought down the tone of civility in this country and it is disgusting. It wouldn't be so bad if the Rethugs actually had a plan in place for when they take over. But thyr don't and not one of their supporters has bothered to ask them how would they improve things.
Even the press gave GW the respect of putting the word "president " before his name. Now they just all call him Obama.
I think it's a pretty disrespectful thing to do.
Would that be a pit bull or a poodle?
Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh........So sick of this man child cry baby!
Obama is baiting us. He says odd things in hopes that one of his opponents will crack, and come right out and say that Obama hates this country and all of its productive citizens. It's the unspoken thought in the minds of millions, and Obama wants it out in the open.
Why shouldn't they?
Barack Obama is a loon. He has lowered the office of the president of the United States about as low as it can go.
"Let his days be few; and let another take his office." Psalms 109:8
On top of his incompetence we seem to have a leader who is a whiner. Too much government drove the economy into the pits and too much government intervention is not going to drive it back out.
My Dear Mr. President...
Of course they talk about you like a dog. You let them... They really have nothing to offer. They've let themselves be taken over by a bunch of clueless, mindless drones, who just spread bs... You're not facing an opposition who's trying to do what's right for the country in a different way. You're facing a mob, some of which can't stand to be out of power and some of which can't stand the thought of a black leader, and they're feeding off each other. They made it quite obvious that their strategy was to oppose EVERYTHING you said or did from the get go. It NOT about policy. You could feed them back their own ideas (and have) and they would be against it becasue it came from you. My question to you is- Why are you the least bit surprised?
Feeling a bit insecure about being Mutt?
Remember Bill Murray's rally speech in Stripes.
Mr. Obama is not nearly as vilified by the Republicans as George W. Bush was by the dems, and we were all pretty sure President Bush actually LOVED this country. I think a lot of us have doubts as to the president's ability to do the job he was elected to do, and also to his love for this country. He's the first president I've ever actually questioned in this regard. He just doesn't seem like he likes who we are very much.
Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Bow-wow-wow yippee oh yippee ay!
Who let the dogs out? (Michelle!)
Who let the dogs out? (Michelle!)
Fetch! Go get the stick! Go get it, Barack! Go get it!
Good boy! Good boy! Who wants a belly rub?
that is an insult to dogs.
Give them hell Mr. President... they are the racist dogs.
I wouldn't sink so low as to compare you with my dog. Nor would I speak to him in such a manner. If you want respect you first must earn it. So far your career has earned you nothing but ridicule justifically so. REV. WRIGT, MUSLIM, PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, INSULT TO YOUR NATION's CHRISTIANS, FLAG AND VETERANS. Need I say more. SHUT YOUR TRAP AND DO SOMETHING TO SHOW AMERICANS YOU'RE NOT OUT TO DO THEM IN. START WITH THE BORDER AND SECURE IT. HELP PEOPLE LIKE BREWER INSTEAD ON CONDEMNING HER. YOU ARE SICK AND ONE MORE SORRY PRESIDENT.
Wow...this guy is pathetic.
I guess if he blames republicans enough it will somehow become truth. The Democrats controlled both houses since 2006 elections. My civics teacher (probably a liberal) told me that congress controls spending–makes war-What am I missing?
Again, he is pathetic and I'm not sure he realizes but he realizes that this BS doesn't sell anymore...his rose garden address not too long ago was unbelievable–even to him–you could tell
"Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time...... he told a crowd largely consisting of union members.
Stick with me "boys" and I'll make you Union Stewards of Stimulus Dollars! Its the road to the promise land, paved in debt for generations to come.
Don't blame me! They started it! They overspent too! I'm just a man with a dream and your checkbook. Ok Ok I'll spend less next term.
(I'll refinance just this once, then I promise I'll get better spending habits)
Big Banks, Big Corporate CEO's, Big Insurance, Big Oil, Big Unions, etc.... Big Damn Deal
Same speech just a different suit
if the shoe fits
??What?? I think the President is way in over his head and out of his league. His "dog" comment is an indication that he has lost all of the magic that got him elected along with the verbal elegance. It is hard to take him serious.
Well, if the shoe fits . . . sear it!
Hope it doesnt pinch too bad! On second thought, I hope it
pinches like hell!
The republican commentators are framing Obama's remarks as divisive politics. Frankly, I don't care. The republicans have engaged in divisive politics at the expense of our country for years. It is time for democrats to take control of the message and stop worrying about alienating republicans that don't play across the aisle anyway.
Muslims don't like dogs, so Obama's remarks are pretty strong...
is this a statement by a sitting president????
Poor wittle Obama. Those nasty people might say mean things about him. Obama would never be mean to anybody, including Bush.
Good for you Mr. President– Call 'em out! Hold those who truly want to ruin this country with their racism, allegiance to corporations, moves to privatize social services, disdain for the poor, and on and on and on, accountalbe. Your base is with you and may God bless you for your efforts.
Not a dog, your Ideas are like a dog. Same respect is given by the media towards Repubs, like Sarah and John.
All the GOPpers are missing that $4 a gallon gasoline that Bush brought us. More profits for big oil means more money for republicans. As for the name calling, these southern white republican gentlemen have not accepted the civil rights legislation, and are desperate to get back to those good ole days.If I was into name calling, I would add, . . . the lying scum that makes up the GOP are fascist pigs destroying the constitution and our nation.
Well, if the dog collar fits......
If you lie with dogs...
He must be kidding. Now you can smell desperation in his speeches
Your no dog, dogs have more sense than you.
Obama, you are and a plain and simple IDIOT.
hmm... a dog... i.e. ugly- no I think not, happy tail wagging- possibly, loving and dedicated- possibly, lapping up what falls from the table- not really.... hmm... Barack should stick to the teleprompter!
Or maybe he is describing his democratic handlers who are feeding him the agenda to promote... now that seems the most likely.
why can't I see the comments left so far?
as for the article – Dogs are mans best friend and so far this administration is only friends with a small minority that is taking money and freedoms from many.
not mans best friend
What is wrong with being called a dog? Unless you are Muslim.
Another observation: , Obama shouldn't overly concern himself with the how the GOP talks about him , regardless of which canine is being used in reference to his person , his current major problem being the way 58% of America Citizens talk about him around the family dinner table , and in my view , no amount of Kennels on the globe could ever hope to hold all of those negative opinions .....:)
Clearly the man has issues.
Good for Obama. I have not been too wild about the man as I usually am not too wild about any politician. But if he can go more off script like this and say the truth and name names, then I think the whole world would stand behind him. Tell us what really goes on in Washington. There is a lot of scumbags sniffing around in Washington. Why not be honest and tell us who they are and what they are doing? People would stop dealing with those lobbyist's companies. Maybe Obama wouldn't get huge donations from any corporations but he would make it strictly off popularity from being the first president to ever expose things for what they really are. Let's stop the democrat/republican BS and just do what's right. There is no better way to fight evil than to bring it into the light and show it to everyone.
You Mr President are not a dog. You're just a very very incompetent narcissist out of touch with the American people.
If it acts like a dog, and barks like a dog, ..........
That is not true I like dogs. Dogs are smart and you can teach dogs, dogs are loyal. This guy is a moron, nothing like a dog. He has insulted all dogs, lets hope the SPCA gets involved now.
Not "like" a dog, but "as" a dog.
I didn't to Harvard
It's about time Obama show he has some guts, I am sick to death of every tired republican candidate coming out with the same line, Obama is bad for the country, why not say why you are good for the country. These people have no substance all they can do is blame Obama, when he is no longer president I wonder who they will then blame.
obama is talked about worse than a dog. why bother writing anymore–you never print anything i write.
The president flatters himself. Most people like dogs...
I really hope the gloves come off these next couple of months, Mr. President. The American people voted you into office because we wanted a fighter.
Hey he had an unscripted thought – headline QUICK! Apparently it's not just the GOP that is surprised.
Obama is a fanatical Communist suffering from a messiah complex.
The leftists Democrats MUST be defeated at the ballot box if this country is to survive.
Ignore the letter "C" media. They worship this false prophet.
We should treat president Oblahblah with the same amount of respect and deference to the office that the liberals showed President Bush. That's only fair, amirite?
OBAMA is back!! He's back with a track record in which to stand proudly. It was an awesome speech based on so much truth. United as a nation we do stand. The divisiveness of the republican party has been demoralizing and destructive to our nation. At the rate we are going, China will be the dominant world power sooner than most imagined. It doesn't have to be that way. Blind power serves no one.
TELL IT LIKE IT IS, Mr. President! I LOVE that President Obama called-out-the-GOP-Party-of-NO!
Keep talking to America, President Obama, DO NOT LET ANYONE FORGET HOW WE GOT TO..........10%........ UNEMPLOYMENT.
In NOvember vote NO for the Party of NO!
Is this man falling apart?
We need stability and maturity in the WH.
We need someone who is concerned about the our national situation and not his hurt feelings.
Too little, too late. Not like he's been bragging about the GOP right? My question is how long is long enough for President Obama to finally take responsibility for the job he ASKED to do? If you had a sports team coach who after 2 seasons complained about the players because they were picked by previous coaches, you would fire them! ! ! President Obama has not LED our country, he's meandered and whined the WHOLE TIME!
Not a dog!!!
An IDIOT.
Hey PrezBo, they don't talk about you like a dog. You have not come up to that level as yet, but keep trying. A dog desires more respect.
You mean he strayed off his teleprompters? That's a first!
This guy is a complete idiot. he says anything to steer attention away from himself. What a dolt....
The composure begins to crack as the fear and inability to understand what has gone wrong is starting to become even more visible.
I'd feel sorry for him if this wasn't a mess of his own making. It's tough to watch someone be faced with the consequences of his own decisions... especially while he is busy trying to avoid those consequences... and blame someone else.
Obviously he doesnt recall how he talked about his opponent and the previous President during the last election.
And we are all seeing his failure as a leader.
Woof! Woof! If it barks like one? Guess what?...it IS.
Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet, Obama. You're gonna get alot more mad as time goes on. Count on it. We're fed up with you, your lies, your friends, and your agenda.
It is time for democrats to take control of the message and stop worrying about alienating republicans that don't play across the aisle anyway.
you are kidding right? When was the last time the Republicans locked the Dem minority out of meetings? Then turned around and said "they won't reach across the aisle"
Thank you, Mr. President. Tell it like it is. The GOP is destroying our country. They wnat to be in power at all costs. They do not care about anything except power.
It is about time. Too often, the critics of the President appear to only offer an attack not a resolution. It is much easier to attack a position then to offer concrete alternatives that are not political in nature. Go on the attack, Mr. President.
Yes, Barack, it's all about you. Poor pitiful you.
Mr. President, my dog understands economics better than you.
Like a dog?
Sir, you ARE an insult to dogs everywhere. If you're a dog, you won't hunt – and you don't fetch either.
You Slither Barry, like the snake you are.
Poor, Poor Barry, People are calling him out and not bowing to him like the MSM CNN & MSNBC.
It's not like Bush was treated rough by the above crowd or the Demidopes.
It's not personnel, its his Socialist Progressive agenda and policies that are and will kill this country for our children and their children.
History has proven his ideology does not work. (USSR)
I think I should try his approach and spend my why out of my personal debt. I won't cut my expenses one bit.
Cumbaya all!!
NO, they talk about you like a man who has no experience, who lectures everyone, who is driving this country into the ground.
You talk of GW Bush like a dog – but he guided through the dot com crash, and 911 – both of which could of crushed our economy – but they didn't because Bush had what was best for the country in mind, not advancing a agenda of Social Justice at all cost.
The dog remarks are a sympathy play - they are being mean to me –
Take you ball and go back to Chi-town you big baby.
Forgive these lying republicans, for they are not bright enough to realize what they do. As for dogs, republicans are famous for backing up and bending over.
In the real world (where you and I live), if your spouse ran up HUGE credit card debt and then left the bills to you, then divorced you leaving you with the debt (been there), we ARE expected to pay the bill, even if we didn't buy the stuff, or want it.
WE KNOW it's going to take some time to get paid off, and we expect, and usually GET the understanding of the people we owe and our friends who have to deal with us and our problems.
OK, so now Obama has this HUGE debt, run up by the previous administration. In reality, all of the bills have not even come in yet, but there are a number of POLITICIANS and pundits are trying to make the case that this is not just President Obama's obligation to pay, but his fault.
What a load.
If you are dumb enough to believe that you will get anything but what you have already gotten from Republicans, you are in for more disappointment... Haven't we had enough yet?
Wah....wahhhhh.....wahhh.....a how did you talk about GOP when YOU ran for office..and STILL talk about them you fraud.
I think your President is lost. This man wants to "change" America. America says"no thank you" Obama is very angry.
Woof, woof you gutless, clueless and classless fraud of a "president".
Palin has no business being near the WH, even that being said, YOU were not even half as uh, uh, uh, uh, uh qualified as her.
More spending Barry, is that all you got, paybacks to the unions, ya, the other 250 BILLION worked out so well......
A one trick dog here, but WE are barking back.
See you in November.
That's not true, Barry! We actually like and respect dogs!
"They talk about me like a dog." Megalomaniac, paranoiac rant of equal import to those worldly dictators of past and present. This man needs to be carefully watched and his admiistration effectiveness neutralized with the coming November elections.
Ahh, CNN starts the mainstream media's "Angry Obama" meme. Now we'll be getting all the "he's frustrated" and "dejected" and "depressed" news headlines.
Hey, CNN...how about just reporting that President Obama made a speech without doctoring it up to get clicks?
The man desires respect.
But respect must be earned.
Like a little boy, he cries "wolf" to anyone who listens.
But CNN, by even printing this, has shown that they too are tired of listening...
Who are the "powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time" that the democrat party is not in charge of? History tells us that democrats have a stranglehold on every agency and department for many, many decades. So who are the "they" of whom he speaks?
President Obama has insulted me, a Citizen that has spoken up against his policies, every time he speaks. If he treated his dog, Bo, as he has done me and my fellow Americans, it should be no surprise to anyone when he gets snapped at.
He speaks of my nation as a dog, so what is his point? Sympathy?
"Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they're not always happy with me. "
That doesn't even make sense. I guess that's why he should stick to his teleprompter.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the White House.
A dog cannot wreck our economy. It not always all about YOU.
Who could blame him...he gets knocked around no matter what he says or does.
Don't blame me!
They started it!
They overspent too!
I'm just a man with a dream and your checkbook.
Ok, Ok, I'll spend less next term.
(I'll refinance just this once, then I promise I'll get better spending habits)
"Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time...... he told a crowd largely consisting of union members.
Stick with me "boys" and I'll make you Union Stewards of Stimulus Dollars! Its the road to the promise land, paved in debt for generations to come.
Big Banks, Big Corporate CEO's, Big Insurance, Big Oil, Big Unions, etc.... Big Damn Deal
Same speech just a different suit
I like my dogs, I would not demean them by referring to Pres BH Obama as a dog. Arabs do use the term "dog" when trying to talk bad about someone.
But you are a dog, Obama!
Well, see, for 8 long years we endured our president being trashed, every single day, by the liberal media. Endlessly, relentlessly.
Now, oh poor baby Barry, How Does It Feel?
P.S. Worst president in 100 years.
Time to show this type of passion on the campaign trail! I love it.
Please talk about all of the good things your administration is doing for our country and FIGHT BACK against the critics. This is when you started gaining traction in the presidential campaign – when you stopped letting everyone else define you, and instead defined yourself.
This is why Hillary lost, and why McCain lost – people like you and want you to succeed. Don't let the negative nay-sayers in the GOP turn you into some kind of monster. I'm so tired of hearing it.
GO GET 'EM, MR. PRESIDENT!!!
This guy is not presidential, very "Bush" league.
"Like a dog"? Thats an insult to dogs everywhere. He was preaching to the chior. The rest of us non-union people know his tricks and like an old, worn out magic trickster, nobody is paying to see him anymore.
and the fleas are spreading....
If you want a friend in Washington, DC, get a dog. Mr Obama wants to be every one's friend so he sits when he is tole to, goes out when he is told to, begs when he is told to and ever rolls over yes when he is told to. And all by the unions with kibble in their pockets. So Hail to the Schnauser!
I'd rather have a dog as a president than two loons any day.
Mr. President:
With all due respect, stop complaining and get to work!
All you do is talk, talk, talk....we're sick of it!
Try to do something that actually improves the economy!
Thank you,
The American People
I think referring to Mr. Hussein-Obama as a dog is fitting since his presidency has been ARFul.
Wow!!!
Will say Anything to help dem win in 2010, but its over, americans got to know what obama change is all about.
Nice Try
Like a dog? Dogs are noble, intelligent and dedicated – Obama's no dog!
Go President Obama! I voted for you and still believe in you. I'm happy you are finally speaking out about the very ones who got us in this situation to begin with.
My dog resents that remark...he knows he's a cut above BHO
Obozo is clearly losing it. What happened to Mr. Cool.? We can add this to the list of presidential firsts, how wonderful. I guessing the next speech will expand to mentioning dogs and Bull Conner. The race card is going to be blatently used soon as the pressure of loosing control of Congress gets ever closer. Maybe he needs to take another vacation?
I just don't get it. Why would anyone want to go back to Republicans in charge. The American people have such short memories or...I don't know how else to say it but they are just plain dumb if they'd rather be run by the GOP. If you look at the Tea Party candidates who are winning primaries, it's pretty f'in scary. These are real nut jobs that have no place in life, let alone politics. Wake up people. You had 8 years of the GOP running the car in the ditch. Let's drive forward by putting the car in D. Putting it in R is only going to cause an accident.
Poor MAN-CHILD B.O.
He doesn't know what to do, so... he barks. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Waw.
Surround yourself with fleas and you will probably inherit them as you scratch you way to the bottom of the pile.
This comment is not far from the truth, this man has been spoken about in a tone that is not just political, he is truly spoken about like a dog. The misinformation machine that is operating against this man with the financing of the Koch brothers and other interests is sickening. Look at the nasty comments that have rolled in on this blog already, There are really some very stupid nasty people in this world which show that a computer in the wrong hands can be dangerous.
I asked the prez in an email to stop using strawman arguements and in place of "Some powerfull interests,....he can place my name.
Blame George Bush all you want but stuff didnt start to go south until the democrats took the majority of the house and Nancy got the car key's it was then that gas prices hit the fan and everything started to go to hell .
Wow. This is one thin skinned politician. One can only imagine how off the tracks he will become when he doesn't have an adoring Congress at his back. I can't wait for Nov 2 when we can once again but some adults back in charge.
He is right they do Republicans wont help him try to fix this country in which they messed up but they will try to use every tactic their is to try to degrade this President. They love to use scare tactics ask Jane Brewer Mitch McConnell John Bohner Eric Cantor and the rest. I kind of want them to get back in power so people can get what they are asking for, which is nothing because ask yourselves people what do Republicans have to offer better then Democrats. you cant just choose the other party because things are not going the way you want now, you choose the other party when they have something better to offer you and you know they will keep their word.
Actually, My dog is smarter than you. He is also insulted by your comments.
Mr. President you are a Dog !!!!
Using the dog reference is a very Muslim thing to say...
Some of the comments make me sick. The President is right and many of the people posting here are confirming that there are plenty of crazy right-wing nuts out there. You'll get your Republican led government... and you will regret it!
You've thrown all kinds of invectives to the American people Mr. President, now you're like a child looking for someone to cajole you? Why are you getting wee wee'd up this time Mr. President? Your halo has fallen, your styrofoam Greek Columns is now full of dusts in some warehouse in Hollyweird. Many of your adulating followers had finally waken up from their long dose of koolaid ( I was one of them), now you're like a boy who cried for wolf.
Mr. President, YOU conned me, YOU lied to me; don't expect an ounce of sympathy from your former follower.
Go take a hike Mr. President, I CANNOT afford YOU anymore!
This man is working as hard as any President during my lifetime and he does not get the respect he deserves. No, he couldn't walk on water or fix everything in his first 100 days, but he has been steady, reassuring and doing a great job. He needs our support, not all this stupid stuff. Sometimes I think voters are pretty shallow and short of memory.
President Obama you have my full 110% support. My memory of the last Presidency has not faded.
Is this his new way of saying everyone is racist who disagrees with him? Can't wait for the word bamboozle to get thrown around too. Yawn. Are Americans getting insulted by this yet? Hopefully.
Wow, the victim card. Don't leave home without it.
Wow. Really? Amazing. Mr. President, you RUINED yourself with many Americans with your support of the mosque being built in NYC. How dare you! You had your chance to bring this country together, but you've failed miserably. It's more divisive than ever, thanks to your partisan ways and lack of empathy for our country in support of the "rights" of the muslims.
Another example that he is incapable of listening and learning. Ever. To reiterate ad nauseum horrible deceitful economic lies is enough to make one vomit. The GOP has been able to stop nothing. They are not to blame. Really really bad economic theory and horrible over the top spending is to blame. The only people helped by this guy are union thugs of SEIU. A disgrace. Over paid and under worked . The sooner we get rid of this DOG the sooner we can get this country and this economy back on track
Reading the comments here, it's amazing how many Americans actually are as ugly, angry and outright stupid as the Republicans play them to be. You fools already voted in the scoundrels that ruined this country and now you're poised to do it again. Republicans and the people who vote for them are beyond stupid.
Hey Steve – are you familiar with the term Opposition? Do you know why he gets no support from the aptly named Right? Because he does everything opposite what they believe in. Same reason the Left opposed President Bush 9they of course were worse about it because they voted for things then turned around and blamed him for them). The Right has been in control not ONE second of his term – he could have passed all this lunatic crap hands down if it was really the correct thing to do. It isn't. You dopes dream up all these ulterior motives for the Right's opposition out of your own racist paranoia whee really it's because umm m oh ya he is politically opposite of what they believe in. See there's these things called scruples that the Left doesn't possess...
the dog needs to be harnessed
Mr. President, Bush did drive the car into the ditch, but when you got the keys you drove it off the cliff!! If the Republicans are treating you like a dog, then they are being too kind and easy on you.
From some of the comments on this page I would say the President is correct. Tell it like it is Mr. President and call them out on all of their viscious lies and exaggerations. Hold your head high and continue to lead your country with intelligence, thoughtfulness and integrity, something your opponents don't seem to understand.
Yeah and we gonna rub your nose in it and beat you in November.
Consider yourself lucky, Mr. POTUS. Most of us consider you much lower than a dog.
Heck, if Obama'g job was whining, he would already be the best president ever.
Bush left Obama in a hole but he didn't force him to keep digging. Spending more on foreign wars and "stimulus" (i.e. debt) – yeah, that's the ticket.
I do not understand how people can believe anything republicans say. This man has worked so hard to right this country. Did no one learn manners or respect as a child?
Now, Bush is a war criminal and that is the truth
Now add either "delusional" or "demagogic" to Obama's growing list of narcissistic personality disorders.
Obama and all of the other out of control politicians in Washington need to go. A true leader speaks positively about this country! A true leader doesn't attack: auto companies, oil companies, insurance companies, banks, edge funds, venture capital funds, manufacturing, technology, etc....
A true leader doesn't scare the heck out of every sector and wonder why there aren't any jobs.
Obama, please resign already. We might have wanted change before you showed up, but now we need it.
OMG....my 6 year old grandson whines less than this guy.
What a thin skinned embarrassment he is to our country.
I thought he said he was going to be a uniter. He has become really pathetic!
David Fitzgerald – hey here's an idea – read up on how the government in this country works before you open your ignorant piehole
WoW!!- Haven't heard the "talk about me like I'm a dog–" comment since the Marine Corps in the early 70"s.It was a standard complaint of the brig rats back then. All poor performance could be excused by complainer they weren't being respected-irrespective of their failure to meet even basic standards.. Man- very ghetto- very victim-hood, poor put upon black folk kind of remark. Just what we want want from a President- Retro racism victimhood. What next? Re-runs of "Roots"?
Pretty thin-skinned for someone who dogs Bush 24/7.
"Dog" would have been one of the nicest thing the Libs called Bush.
The President's degeneration will be immediatetly revealed by a directly proportional degradation of language.
Sad commentary for the President of the United States.
Obama IS NOT a leader
If it looks like a "dog", it barks like a" dog"..then guess what ...It is a "dog."..So let us make it a lame" dog "in November.
Because you are
Yes, Mr. President. It's past time to call them out for their whining and for their lies. They twice put into office the creep that nearly destroyed our country.
I wouldn't degrade my dog by equating you with one. You only wish you were liked as much as a dog is.
If everything this President does is viewed through the prism of race, as Democrats do, than any opposition to Obama has to be racial, with no exception. They would vote for him solely because of his race, yet cannot fathom any criticism, as it would have to be because of his race. Similarly, any narrow vote for a Republican had to have been accomplished because of cheating (e.g. GWB), because close votes for Democrats are invariably linked to cheating.
Hes Nancy's dog and does tricks for her a very loyal pet Obama .
Oh...boohoo........what a crybaby.......the way Dems talked about Bush, MR. Obama.....you have nothing to bitch about, get used to it, because we may talk about you like your a dog, but we will put you out to pasture like and old used up horse...
No that is wrong, dogs are faithful and loyal..
The President says Republicans talk about him as though he is a dog. I havent got a clue what that means. The President I'm sure understand that politics is not for sissies. People on both sides of the aisle do not seem to be kind. How would Mr. Obama like the criticism that Sarah Palin has endured. Besides the last time I saw the Obama's traveling , their dog BO arrived on a separate plane just for him, I have never traveled so well, being a dog in the White House might not be a bad job.
Maybe his fetching every liberal stick thrown by Reid and Pelosi has something to do with it. Just say'n...
Actually, I like dogs a lot more than I like obama. I would never insult a dog by referring to the obamanation as one.
I guess when you act like dog excrament, people associate you with the animal that made it!
Silly Drudgeans. You're calling the president all sorts of names. What you don't realize is this country would be better served with a Muslim, a socialist, or a dog in charge than a Republican!
Obama has become a disgrace. He's all talk and no show. All he wants is bigger government, a big bank account, and the hell with Americans. He has shown his true colors in suing Arizona and going after Arpaio. If you don't do as he says, he does everything to take you down. I pity his family.
all you teabaggers don't forget we just got through the worst eight years of our lives , brought to you by the biggest piece of shit to ever live in the white house . thanks G W Bush for nothing .....
"There are really some very stupid nasty people in this world which show that a computer in the wrong hands can be dangerous."
---
Yea, and the Presidency in the hands of an unqualified, community organizer, left-wing ideologue can be REALLY dangerous.
I laugh at all of you using the silly, oft-repeated analogy about "the car in the ditch". Grow up, put down your talking points, and stop repeating what you hear some eejit say on TV.
Surely the liberals must be embarrassed for having voted for this socialist. Interesting how they now call themselves progressives.
How about lifting the Oil Drilling Ban in the Gulf ! How about
making the Bush Tax Cuts permanent ! How about lowering
Capital gain Taxes to 0 % fo 3 years ?
Forget your Cap and trade Taxes, Take another look at the
Health Care Bill and repeal parts of it.
Then sit back and watch the economy explode ! Then you can
watch your poll numbers go up again.
Your too Stupid to do any of this so in November we are going
to start throwing your gang out of office. Then in 2012 we are
coming for you. Your a one term president because of your
stupity !
IT wasn't long ago that he was referring to himself as a "MUTT"....because of his race. LOL......get it right will you? Either your a dog or you aren't.........
Woof !!!
Love my dog a million times more than this POS.
It' pretty obvious this is a cnn website by the number of defenders of this wanna be leader. No matter how you paint the picture, you still have a president that has no clue as to how to jump start this economy. I have a suggestion for you. Instead of giving away another 50 billion why don't you push for a personal income tax holiday for the remainder of the year? I'll tell you why. It's because the majority of your support comes from people that don't pay any income tax so your koolaide drinkers wouldn't receive any benefits.
So, he can still dish it out, but can't take it? Well, at least we know who the first Cry Baby President is.
That's an insult to dogs.
Margaret, Boise idaho
Yes working harder than any president since, Who? How many vacations has he taken this year? You are in la la land.
The problem with Obama is he doesn't realise that Socialism and Communism, his favorite ideologies are not economic systems but, political systems and failed political systems to boot or for him to chew on.
I bet your a teacher or government worker or a union member.
Stupid America's elected a inexperienced, Jr. Senator from the Chicago mob, to the most important job in the world. What else did you think was going to happen?
I will donate some serious money to support this magnificent President. This country can't survive another right-wing moron. The gloves are off, and it's about time...
Picture this. A 1930's style convertible with four men is trying to get out of a ditch, unsucessfully. Marx and Keynes are in the rumble seat theorizing. FDR is giving tiips to the driver, Obama.
Up come three pick up trucks offering to pull them out of the dfitch. W drives one, Scott Brown is in the second, and Mitt Romney comes third. They affix ropes to the antique car and pull it from the ditch.
Obama petulantly offers them the keys. Nah said Bush, we have no need for that old jalopy. Give it to the Smithsonian.
When you bark like a dog and treat our country folks like a dog
"you must be a Dog. "so what is your problem Mr. President?
You need to realize that when you work for us,you are not a ruler,
you are a servant of all of us Americans of the USA. Do you get
it,we rule and you are the servant to us all-y-b- w,color has no free
pass,we are all the same. Get rid of the deck of cards and act like
a man for all of us. Or grab your tail and skidaddle dude.
Old dad and vet in war and piece
Most if not all that talk about the Prez like a dog are nothing more than what comes out the back end of the dog. And they offer about as much constructively as well. Keep your head up President Obama.
The least experienced man in the room absolutely wreaks of desperation. Hilarious.
Yeah, you're a dog. Bush was a monkey. Pull up your big boy panties and deal with it. You're the president of the freaking United States. You expect it to be tulips and candy canes?
Holy cow, I can't believe some here are actually so lame that they want is to believe that former President Bush was always treated with honor and deference. Are you people high on something? Did you sleep through the eight years of President Bush's terms? There was nothing but contempt for this man from the moment Al Gore admitted (the second time around) that the electoral process was the law of the land. I never saw more churlish and sadistic behavior towards a man. What you democrats have sown, so shall you reap. Especially since Obama is the single most incompetent man ever to be elected to office. As far as the economic policies, your fingers are all over them. From 2006 on, you own the train wreck since you had both the House and the Senate. If you had any sense of the constitution at all you would understand how the economy was wrecked long before your guy was swept in by unions and thugs. Last thought: Your weak kneed and obviously sensitive guy keeps whining about a fictional set of keys that drove us off the cliff. Compared to that fender bender, we are now headed nose first into the Grand Canyon.
In November, we are coming to take back the keys to the House (and the Senate). We'll see who drives whom where.
Remember, as a Muslim, Obama sees dogs as unclean animals. That's why the family pet took a separate plane to their vacation, and that's why this is so insulting for him.
Ohhhh, you poor poor baby! Is the job to tough for you? Poor little liberal.
Our Imam seems to be getting, or at least sounding, desperate. He goes out to be among the normal, everyday Americans that are struggling in his economy and we find him with nothing but union members. What are his plans for the economy that is sinking deeper and deeper into bankruptcy every day. We still don't know. All he wants to do is give away more money to more unions. More money than we have and more money than what we will ever have. His own are running form him as fast as they can and yet he can only point fingers and lay blame. Some leader. He talks about a spending bill stalled before Congress that will help the economy and produce jobs and lays the blame on Republicans yet he will not disclose the contents of the bill. It's a bill that will increase no jobs but will provide money for unions and their pension plans that they have wasted on other spending.
This is not a President. This is not a leader. This is some know it all whimp that knows nothing but to point the finger of blame when it is apparent that he is the main stumbling block to this country.
If the collar fits!!
B.O. Stinks!!
He has done nothing but run us into the ground. He is an angry man and is trying to give justice to all minority interests. Can't wait until he and his trashy, money spending, half dressed wife disappear in 2012!!
was he talking about Republicans or about the real directors of the party that put him in power. "They talk about me like a dog", aside from it's weird grammar, hints that he feels useless and unappreciated (which makes sense, because he really is useless) ...
I guess when your liberal agenda starts to fail it is time to play the Sympathy card.
Obama said he was going there to CHANGE the way Washington used to be but every part of his agenda is the same old thing that has been tried by liberals before and has never worked.
So I guess he is thinking the blame Bush thing is not working so well time to blame these powerful groups that I wont name, but hope you voters will fill in with any company you might hate.
Is this the best the guy has to offer? More blame and taking no responsibility for his own dismal leadership?
At this rate, it is going to be a long two years before we can remove this clown from office. The only good part is taking over both houses in order to put an end to his job killing agenda he is so hell bent on giving all of us.
See the wise people tell you this is what you get when you have an actual fool for a president.
He's obviously not Presidential material. This man is as thin-skinned as any President I've ever seen. Bush was demonized as "Hitler" as an "idiot"...and he never complained. Obama has been whining about his treatment ever since his election, going so far as trying to orchestrate the marginalization of FOX news.
Here's some advice Mr President. BE A MAN.
A lot of the comments were very vicious and proves once again just how horridly racist these knuckle draggers really are. The cowardly bigots will never accept a black man in the WH. Of course, some of them are just incredibly dumbed down and, thus, are totally brainless!
Obama is such a whiner, he tries to be everything to everyone and then wonders why most people don't like him. Look at his speeches to the Unions and then look at his speeches to small business, he talks out of both sides of his mouth every other day! he needs to go but first things first, get rid of Harry Reid, win the house and stop the spending, that'll be a good start.
This guy is the biggest baby I've ever seen.
@ Joan: Do you actually live in the USA? How can you be so blind not to see The Obama radical agenda? Then again, you probably get most of your news from CNN, so perhaps I can understand your fawning comments. Go read some history, not the crap history you were taught in school, but the original writings of the Founding Fathers. Then perhaps you will understand the kind of country America is supposed to be.
The remarks on this page are outrageous - and just prove how right the President is. If any of you had the guts to stand up and call out the politicians in your are for what they are doing wrong - and get them out of Washington, I might have some respect for the Tea Party and the Republicans. But you all go along with it when it's to your benefit. I've spent 30 years working in a profession where I hear it every election time -- "Oh, we've got to keep the Republicans in office or we'll lost all our money." Well, you kept them in office and the country is in trouble economically and now you are all trying to figure out how to save YOUR behinds - not the folks who really need the help - YOURSELVES!
You're all part of the same 2% Oligarchy we see in every 3rd world country in the world. I hope you are proud of yourselves!
Well, what do you expect, Obama? We're aren't really sure what you are. No school records, no BC, no church, no allegiance
In the retail world if something doesn't sell, it's referred to as a dog. So in my viewed they are right for calling him a dog then.
Let's do the math:
Democrat control of House AND Senate AND Presidency
= Gov't Motors, Gov't HealthCare, Trillion dollar Deficit, a difficult War in Afghanistan with amnesty for illegals on the horizon and a ground zero mosque.
They're gettting everything they want, but is it what America wants???
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Has it really come to this? Obama, no longer complaining, now simply whining.
America needs a leader; Obama doesn't know how.
America yearns for upliftment; Obama can only tear us down.
The country has moved beyond his campaign rhetoric; Obama remains stuck in it.
Obama doesn't look for followers, he demands worshipers; the country, however, has refused him. How pitiful he has become.
Obama's problem is simple. He has neither the ability nor willingness to lead. Obama is a rock star. He expects to go out on stage and perform (give speeches), and have the fans cheer him as a god. The job of President demands more than Obama is able or willing to give. Now that the reality has set in - for him and the country - we are all stuck; that it comes at a time when the country needs so much more is a tragedy.
Wow, Barry is really in panic mode now. And he just insulted all the wonderful dogs of the world.
That's so wrong. The Dems. were always so nice to George W. Bush. They never talked bad about him did they.
Wow – the thing that continues to amaze me is how many people are still fooled by this incompetent president. It's kind of scary.
Fine. Go ahead. Vote against your own best interests ... jobs, healthcare, loans, education, infrastructure, international diplomacy, scientific research and exploration ... put the Republicanische Bund (sic) back into power, so they can FINISH the job they STARTED of RUINING our great country.
The fascist oligarchs of the Republican Party had BETTER read a little history ... if you crush the middle class, two things will happen:
1. There will be no one to pay taxes or buy your goods.
2. It will only take a certain number of children, elderly, hungry, homeless, etc. DYING in the STREETS before there WILL be a revolution, but it WON'T be the kind the Republican thugs are agitating for.
The neanderthals of the Reich (sic) have NEVER forgiven FDR for the New Deal and Social Security.
Of COURSE it's MY fault I'm poor and disabled; OF COURSE I should have a million dollars in retirement savings after working for fifty years at a salary that TOPPED OUT at $37K per annum (and I have a Master's degree!).
Apparently the so-called kristianists never read the Commandment that says:
"THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESSS."
Um, come to think of it, they gave the one about committing adultery a pass too.
A kristianist theocracy is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENT than what we see in Saudi Arabia today.
Obama will be begging this November... we'll if anyone throws him a bone.
Mr. President, stay the course and do not allow the small minded and forgetful people to bother you. It took eight years under a republican leadership to bring our country to where it is today. The small minded and forgetful people expect you to fix the problems created by the prior administration in less than two years... unreal! We were misled on why we went to war and several years later you brought our troops home. Thank you!
I have only five responses to the personal attacks of democrats:
"Failed Stimulus Package", "Obamacare", "Wall Street bail outs", "Pass the bill so we will know what is in it", and finally "Summer of recovery".
GOP: Stay focused on the Democrats record. In the words of President Obama to the Republicans: "Elections have consequences!"
Dogs are smarter.
Has any president before whined so much about how others treated him? Clinton might be close but still can't hold a candle to the mighty Obama. How quickly the left forgets the shabby treatment they gave President Bush, yet Bush hardly sat there complaining every chance he got. Politics is a tough game with the garbage hurled from all sides and one has to wonder if Obama really had a clue what he was getting himself into and whether he regrets it.
This type of rhetoric pumps up the base but just turns everyone else off.
Yeah, really? Do some of you forget so quickly how badly George Bush was treated? Talk about like a dog. Do some of you Democrats out there forget so quickly YOUR PARTY has held Congress since 2006? Not the Republicans? You do realize the President cannot SPEND ONE DIME of taxpayer money or raise taxes without consent of the House of Representatives? NO budget can become law until the House of Representatives approve the measure. I guess if you are a Democrat, you are a loser....you cannot fend for yourself, refuse to take responsibility for yourself, and or need the Government to be your mommy and daddy. It is embarrassing. Obama has lied every step of the way. Period.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, "Anyone who votes for the GOP is a fool." They will destroy the middle class the next time they gain power...I will never vote for the GOP again...
Politics in america is a tug of war and a hoax...we have the RIGHT and we've got the LEFT.....these people are not in control of our government..only thing in control of our government is.......the rich and their corporations.
A LITTLE TOO LATE MR. PRESIDENT
(1.) – You should have backed Democratic Leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid when they sought to dump Sen. Joe Lieberman and take his chairmanship for personally attacking your character during the 2008 Presidential campaign.
(2.) – You should have backed former President Carter instead of throwing him under the bus when Carter correctly called out the Tea Party racist for using the N-word to reference you.
(3.) – You should have attacked Sarah Palin when she effectively called you a terrorist by falsely claiming you "pal around with terrorist".
Good for you, Mr. President.
Bitter loser REPUKES would rather see the country totally ruined than help out. All REPUKES care about is protecting the rich, the military-industrial complex, and BIG OIL...
Enough with bitter REPUKES. Let's move forward and leave them behind to splinter into the new LUNATIC FRINGE.
Hopefully he can keep this up. The GOP needs to be called out for the hate-mongering, backward-thinking bunch of clowns it is.
Many comments on this page are deeply disturbing. This president has been object of unprecedented scorn and vitriol since the day he was elected. Members of Congress have made it their mission to destroy his presidency and bring him to his "Waterloo". Nothing that Obama tries to do will win the support of these people, who are motivated by the darkest factors in our society today. One of the brightest and hardest working presidents we've had in the last 70 years, people here are saying that Obama is a dog and an "idiot". These are people who get all of their information from FOX News and Rush Limbaugh. Their minds have clamped shut like clinched fists holding onto their hatred. No amount of facts will change their mind. All I can say is that I hope Obama succeeds and that these zombie losers don't win the day in November. It will be catastrophic for the country if that happens.
I just realized he cannot be a dog...He has no papers.
Here is a quick rundown of the "Re-hashed Campaign Drivel" for all the public school graduates (taught by union teachers, cause we all union employees are the brightest and the most energetic)
Don't blame me!
They started it!
They overspent too!
I'm just a man with a dream! (and your checkbook)
Ok, Ok, I'll spend less next term.
(I'll refinance just this once, then I promise I'll get better spending habits)
Stick with me "boys" and I'll make you Stewards of Stimulus Dollars! Its the road to the promise land, paved in debt for generations to come.
Big Banks, Big Corporate CEO's, Big Insurance, Big Oil, Big Unions, etc.... Big Damn Deal
Same speech just a different suit
Did Bush ever feel compelled to make such a statement? Clinton? Nixon? I don't think so. That obama has to use such words (in unprepared remarks) shows what an incompetent he is.
Further proof that this guy is nothing but an affirmative action beneficiary at Occidental, Columbia and Harvard. What did he write as editor of the Harvard law journal? He's a fraud. And all the big money corrupters – soros, buffet, gates etc are on his side.
Obama is in over his head. What would you expect of someone whose experience is a community organizer on the south side of Chicago?
I am sorry for comment about putting lipstick on a dog
I regret having made a mean spirited remark even if to make a point
I will try to stay respectfull please accept my apollogy
to all you liberals and dumbocrats, can I have a sniff and go to the land of make believe that your in? the man is an incompetant idiot, and especially the fools in congress and you act like there is good coming from these policies of fools, sniff sniff away.
I have to laugh at the posters who say that the Republicans are spreading viscious lies?? What a freaking joke, what did YOU do the last 8 years, you, the MSM, the Dem's????
Pay backs a *itch, starts with a b!!!
Hey! Don't insult my dog!
What president talks this way?? He is beyond petulant. His hissy fit behavior reminds me of a spoiled 12 year old girl.
Bow wow. It speaks for itself.
I love dogs, Mr. President. Please do not insult them by comparing yourself to them.
The dog needs to be harnessed someone said, Hell, the dog needs to be neutered!!!.
This dog needs to curb his spending.
Well Barry, if you lay with the dogs you'll get fleas. Yes, you are a dog.
You've dogged the economy. You've dogged everyone who doesn't
agree with your socialist policies. You've dogged our allies. You've bedded with our enemies. You are worse than a dog.
It's amazing that people still think that blind support of a political party is the way to go, what a bunch of sheep. Republicans and Democrats are putting on a show just like professional wrestling. They keep the voters distracted and fighting while behind the scenes they rob us blind, by the time it comes out the responsible person is rich with our money and long gone.
The Germans did the party first thing in the 30's & 40's, remember how that worked out??
Politics, the only job where experience is a bad thing!
How can you tell if a politician is lying? They're breathing!
How can you tell if they're telling the truth? No pulse!
No political party affiliation!
Obama, we hate your guts. You're a non-stop vacationing, golfing, muslim-favoring, illegal-loving, job-killing, big spending, socialist moron.
I'd rather have a dog as President than you as a dog would do a much better job.
You are the worst President ever and make me long for the good ol' days of Jimmy Carter.
See you in November, LOSER!
My my, aren't we the overly sensitive president. It was OK, even encouraged to denigrate Bush43 like he was a dog but say anything negative about Obama and its hand wringing time. This president has lost it, assuming he ever had it, the demos are in the dumper and the flush handle is being pulled. As bad as the repubs are it has been proven yet again that the demos are trash, pure trash who couldn't lead their way out of a paper bag. Need a clean sweep in November and in November 2010, time to kick out the Whiner in Chief and turn the countyry around. The demos are destroying the USA and they don't even care! DEMOSBEGONE2010. NOBAMA2012.
Mr President your not Listening to the American Voters ! Your Deaf
to what they want you to do. You don't care neither so your going to be
treated like a DOG !!!!!!
There are some real mutts out there in dog land, but I would not compare the President to any of them. I think that is very disrespectful to the President. However, I am very impatient to see Obama be a former President. I hope the land of the free and the home of the brave can survive that long. Is is pretty pathetic to have a President who makes Jimmy Carter look good.
Just leave the poor little president alone!
A LITTLE LATE MR. PRESIDENT
(1.) – You should have backed Democratic Leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid when they sought to dump Sen. Joe Lieberman and take his chairmanship for personally attacking your character during the 2008 Presidential campaign.
(2.) – You should have backed former President Carter instead of throwing him under the bus when Carter correctly called out the Tea Party racist for using the N-word to reference you.
(3.) – You should have attacked Sarah Palin when she effectively called you a terrorist by falsely claiming you "pal around with terrorist".

Really? You don't know where he gets that? Are you blind, deaf, stupid or all of the above? Saying it ain't so does not make it fantasy. Don't be a fool all of your life.
Both reberto of maine and IAN certainly appear to be on the wrong side of this curve ball according to the rest of these commentors. Having worked in the mid east one quickly learns the hatred between most Iranis and 'Jube" dogs is unbelieable. The fast amount to sick beaten kenine relics there live hidden in the gutters called Jubes. In one fenced in compond of expates we rescured one from the jubes and we could come and go, known or unkown expates right by our favorite jube dog with a pat on the head, but let one Irani approach it went APE. The local authorities later demanded we get rid of our friendly all knowing guard dog ! Wish we could swap it for our present Disaster of a President !
Obama is such a cry baby. If he got HALF of what Bush got he'd probably have a nervous breakdown. It is probably coming any day now...
President Barak Hussein Obama only lies when he is speaking. God bless the USA with no more than one term from this buffoon.
Most of thesse comments are ridiculous and not thought out by people of either political bent. I'm republican and sadly their comments are the most inflamatory and closed minded. If all you have to post is a played out rhetoric, please don't post. This section should stimulate thought, not try and 'change' people from theotherside that never will be. Hey admin, put this as the disclaimer on your page!
Please,mr.President don't compare my dog to you. I love my dog.
BHO now is walking in Bush's shoes and he felt the pain.
People don't be surprised by the harsh rhetoric being spewed on this network. Since CNN hired Eric Erickson a new batch of nuts have come along with him. It's unfortunate that CNN hired a man who I believe is nothing but a racist and fear monger. The surprise will be when the pundits will be wrong on November 2, and the Democrats will retain the house majority.
GO OBama!
A dog that bit the children of the family it is part of.
He's absolutely right. Nobody knows more about ugly, hateful, negative politics than the compassionate conservative christians.
Put on a tie Mr. President.
I think 'Bam is wrong. People LOVE dogs and treat the mbetter than their own children.
That's an insult to dogs everywhere.
That's not true – the country likes dogs, why would we call you one.
He has rabbit ears, just like a bad referee. He is starting to hear the crowd pickin' on him. Bout time.
I am in awe of the kool aid drinkers posting here (even though Obama/soros OWN CNN) still defending the indefensible. Your Bow wow in Chief has increased debt single handily MORE than the combined debt of ALL presidents before him. You must be proud. Your president Bow Wow used chicago thugery, bribes, and downright vote buying schemes to pass an unconstitutional Health Care bill, AGAINST the will of the people. You must be proud. Your Messiah Muts health care plan will cut medicare payments to the elderly and infirm 500 billion, thus guaranteeing human suffering and even death. You must be proud. I knew there was a sizeable amount of americans with mental disorders, but the trolls on this board are amazing! You must be proud!
I started to read these comments and was surprised at the number of fools that were defending Obama, after all, he is bringing this country to it's knees, anyone with a grain of sense can see that, then I scrolled up to see where the link had taken me.. CNN.. of course!! I should have known.. the major left leaning "news" media in the USA. The place where fairness is replaced by censorship.
What is it about Washington that distracts whomever goes there? I've been disappointed lately with my fellow democrats because we sound and act just like everyone else. Promise, spend, argue and blame! How about doing what we were sent to do...create a new culture in which we actually get something done. Historians will rightly take us to task since we didn't do what we promised even though we owned the town at the time.
No one I have heard in 2 in a half years has ever described or talk about you as a dog .
That is what you learned in the minister wrights school of liberation theology . Make up and lie about anything and many will believe .
Very presidential young intellectual man , so smart and sorrounded by the best the left has to offer .
Obama landslide WIN in November , I can see it now , " republicans win big thanks to Obama landslide ", CNN confirms and on fox " america begins to save USA from the liberation theologists"
Lol! Republicans fix and run the USA?????? Yea they did such a great job the past ten years. Wake up America, your going to find your kids wearing red scarfs to school and singing the Chinese anthem if we do not pay back the trillions king George borrowed from the communist. Stay strong Mr president, if Americans want to relive the glorious and wonderful Bush years let them, the repulicans will have the entire nation employed. Yea we will be be planting rice wearing flip flops and pointy straw hats.
So says the cotton candy President, all sweetness and light and no substance.
Sorry, Mr. President, but at least my dog learned long ago not to s*** in the house. You're dropping loads of it all over this country.
I thought he was going to have a different kind of administration? Wasn;t this supposed to be the Hope and Change era? What happened?
Talking to Obozo like a dog is an actual compliment for him. Desperation is a stinky cologne.
Like a dog? Really, well maybe its time he stopped being the lap dog for special interest groups(bankers and big corporations) and the lunatic fringe left then. Personally I believe that using that term disparages dogs......
Not a 'dog', a bootlicker to Ahmadinnerjacket.
Dogs don't normally send their wives on $350,000 trips to Spain.
Remember, Obongo was raised by his grandparents who spoiled him. He never had to work for anything. It was all given to him. What we have here is a BRAT.
