“On the campaign trail, President Obama is constantly talking about the importance of technology, but he met his match in an iPhone Sunday,” Dave Boyer reports for The Washington Times. “The president had stopped at a campaign office in Port St. Lucie, Fla., to thank volunteers. Then, for the cameras, Mr. Obama was supposed to call two campaign workers who were out working on his behalf.”
“But when White House trip director Marvin Nicholson handed the president his personal iPhone, Mr. Obama couldn’t get it to work. A reporter who witnessed the scene said the president looked ‘befuddled,'” Boyer reports. “‘It’s not clear he knows how to dial on an iPhone,’ the reporter wrote in a pool report.”
Boyer reports, “Finally, Mr. Obama said, ‘Oh, I got to dial it in. Hold on, hold on. I can do this. See, I still have a BlackBerry.’ The president then “had a little more trouble dialing,” the pool report said. The president then has more trouble dialing.”

if he’s entering a room full of MacDailyNews’ retinue of rightist retards, absolutely yes.
Too bad your mother didn’t exercised her right to abort..would’ve been a a double victory for the libbies
Wow, I see a lot of people argue on here and say a lot of stupid stuff. But never anything is despicable as this. gelnWuzz, you embarrass everyone who reads this site when you say crap like that. It wasn’t funny, it wasn’t clever, and it was completely unnecessary. It’s really a shame people like you think that it’s ok to say things like that to other people. Esp people you don’t even know.
It was harsh but not much worse than the comment he responded to.
Original post made fun of Obama a politician. All politicians are fair game, comes from being a politician. Then His Shadow took a shot at all conservatives. You do that you open yourself to any and all return fire.
Sorry, you’re wrong about the response being the most despicable. It was crude and rude and I wouldn’t have said it but His Shadow isn’t some innocent victim.
Reread His Shadow’s post again. He isn’t making fun of conservatives. He’s saying Obama is still the least qualified man in any room he enters, even a room full of what he calls “rightist retards”. So, in his opinion, even “rightist retards” are more qualified that Obama. As for glenWuzz’s comment, it was truly despicable.
On September 12, 2008 , the Obama’s campaign released an ad attacking John McCain for not knowing how to send an e-mail. The reason that McCain couldn’t send emails was because Viet Cong had done quite a job on McCain, an American war hero who actually accomplished things in life before running for president.
OMFG, Really? Really?? That’s why McCain couldn’t send an email..?
Do you really believe the things you write?
Yeah, and too bad, were abortion illegal, your mother didn’t have to have one in a dirty back alley.
That’s a nice blast from the past, and I am amazed that sex (well one aspect of it at least) is being brought up. Personally I think it ranks right up there with “You are the load of cum that your mother should have swallowed” but others have made a point that this type of comment is not appropriate for a sexually repressed violently enhanced society.
Now something along the lines “Your mother should have taken you to tour of the world trade center a few years ago” might be more appropriate, since that’s all about violence, and just violence.
It’s not about sex, it’s about murder.
is that like a nattering nabob of negativity?
If you handed Albert Einstein an iPhone he would also be a complete dunce. Not knowing how to use an iPhone means nothing. This is a stupid conversation!
Albert Einstein has never seen an iPhone before.
Obama can’t say the same.
Really? Enlighten me. How many times has Obama used an iPhone before?
Just ask my 87 year old grandmother, she will look that up on her iPhone 4S…..
no but he has seen an iPad
And you dial out the same way on the iPad as you do on the… wait a minute…
I have used an iPhone numerous times, mostly the apps. I have had to think for a moment when using my wife’s iPhone 4 to find the dial pad, as I have a blackberry from work.
I have iMacs, iPod touches, iPods etc. A couple of time, I had to search for a moment wondering where the dial pad is in the phone app if it isn’t up.
Agreed. Standing in front of a pack of waiting press photographers is not the place to figure out unfamiliar tech gadgets. (And I am one of His Shadow’s “rightest retards”). This is a poor excuse for a “story”.
Well, let’s see….. My 4 year old son has no trouble using our iPhone; He loves getting email & calls from his 87 year old grandmother…..but he really enjoys Facetime!
Maybe there is still some “Hope” for Obama, he may just have a little trouble moving “Forward”…..
Of course, if this was President George W. Bush, then this would be a smart conversation and the news would not be on MDN but airing every five minutes on MSNBC’s retinue of leftist lunatic losers, absolutely!
You are not that far off.
I’m fairly liberal, and I personally can’t watch MSNBC. It is ridiculous. I’m certainly no fan of Fox News, but MSNBC is far worse…
You’re right though, if it were W, it would be EVERYWHERE. And it would still be just as much of a non-story to those of us who actually think.
Agreed.
Most likely, this non-story will be ignored by the major media.
However, when Bush senior was campaigning remember a similar befuddled tech moment involving a grocery scanner.
A non-story the major media relished and launched an avalanche of negative media news. Bush was portrayed as out of touch and on and on …
What goes around, comes around. Exception: Unless of course, you work for the media.
it is widely reported that Einstein couldn’t balance his checkbook.
The Washington Times is a paper that caters to the political right. Of course they’re going to show The Democrat as being “challenged”.
Apparently neither Einstein nor Obummer can balance a checkbook, especially when it comes to spending other people’s money.
Interesting.
It has been found that in most households its the lady of the house that looks after the check book. Just ask you mom or better half.
And that true even in the homes of the Sec of the Treasury, Federal Reserve chairman, bankers, and other so-called financial ‘wizards’.
…and it seems some of those other governmental experts of which you spoke can’t even file their taxes properly. Let’s face it: they can’t pave friggen roads either but they can sure shovel enough manure to fertilize the Sinai Desert.
If this happened to Romney, I’ll bet the farm all newspapers that cater to the political left, the majority, would have gleefully reported the story.
And the Washington Times, as well.
Payback is a bear.
Four years ago the Obama campaign ridiculed McCain for not personally using email. It did not matter that the reason he could not was the results of injuries sustained during his time as a POW.
And your qualifications are…?
Hey. “Made in the USA.” How many words here? -nuff said
Not surprising..dude’s a complete dunce..
hahaha! Oh my goodness. haha, wow good one!
Glad you enjoy..while we have front row seats watching Baby Huey dismantle our country.
Other “dude” is a bigger dunce.
i guess you mean Joe Biden..I agree
Great to see such support by a US President for Canada. Don’t worry Mr. President, you will have time to catch up on technology soon.
US President for Canada!
We have had more than our share of bumbling idiots. We don’t need another one.
Virtually half of our Prime Ministers have been Francaphones from Quebec.
I rest my case.
..Francaphone? ..Can’t get those to dial either.
The major problems with the new Francophones is they don’t do English.
Are you saying blackberry will be chapter 11 and he will have to get a new phone? Or something else maybe?
Same thing he’s done with the U.S. economy–DERP! Lord, please kick this clown out of the White House in November!?
I am on that along with most of America
And this bloke is running the United States!
Obviously, 200 miilion people don’t have this problem. Does he actually have a degree in anything?
You should see the other guy. =(
Romney is a very successful business man. You don’t get to the top levels of business if you are a dunce.
You may not like him or disagree with his politics but he will be immensely better at getting the US economy rolling then Obama, who has lead the worst economic recovery since the great depression.
Really? If business has all the answers and is the magical savior, WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN ALL THIS TIME? Let me guess, gop default answer # 2 it’s the “regulation”. BS.. Couldn’t be all the obstructionist’s doing all they can to make him a one term president could it. We are suppose to just forget those statements, forget that dereliction. Business is gonna save us. RIGHT.
Clearly you have not spent much time in corporate America. Dunce typically = “Middle manager”. In other dunce news: Have you seen Steve Ballmer? Michael Dell?
MItt was “successfully” born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he wasn’t successful at growing ANYTHING except his own wallet. He was “successful” at buying companies, selling their assets and FIRING the employees. A job he so famously told the world he enjoys.
You sir are living in fantasy land.
Obama created 6 trillion dollars in debt. All the money he spent to “get the economy rolling again” was borrowed from China. And unless you want to lose another 6 trillion dollars, I suggest you vote Romney, because voting Obama is like backing up the Titanic and hitting another iceberg.
Nobody knows. Obama won’t release his college records.
Here’s a possible reason why:
Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? I’m betting not.
If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d find that:
A) He rarely ever attended class.
B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get into Harvard Law School.
C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student.
D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law School because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia.

“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” – Clint Eastwood, September 7, 2012
http://www.pineconearchive.com/120907-1.html
I have to agree with Dirty Harry on this.
#eastwooding will not go away anytime soon 😉
The one thing that got under obamas skin… Clint Eastwood talkin to a chair lol.
I think you are on to something. This will eventually all come out, no way this can stay secret forever.
Mitt Romney was raised by martians.
read the truth at the Blaze web site. What a good idea. Presidents education records are publicly available. How about yours?
What a pile of birther shite.
Mitt Romney’s tax records will tell America something he really doesn’t want them to know, he is a tax dodger and a cheat. Makes perfect sense to me that Mr. “My Business sense is what we need” should release the filing’s and show us just how successful he is at gaming the American tax system. Perhaps we could all learn a new trick or two to help us out..
The truth will come out, you flaming commies! He should be locked up when it does.
Cue the fucking hysterical retards that think Obama’s qualifications can be judged by his lack of familiarity with a device he doesn’t own.
It looks like you were the first one. Language like yours shows your lowbrow mouth breather abilities.
His Shadow – There’s no need to swear, it just degrades you and your comment.
Just another example of Obama’s ineptitude, inability, and abject failure to function.
What we need is a phone-locked teleprompter app so he can sound competent about the iPhone while looking at it, and before he actually does anything.
‘Obama has trouble with Apple iPhone’.
Not as much as the country has with him.
Oh! Sorry. I meant Him.
Looks like he has no trouble using outdated tech. Just like his outdated socialist policies for running the economy. Even Russia has ditched communism, but not Obama.
Bln – should be Brn.
Look at you throwing around big words that of which you don’t know the meaning.
I forget… is Obama a socialist leftist Nazi or a communist fascist Muslim. I lose track.
No it was the Democrats invoking the Nazi slander against Romney and Ryan, try to keep up with the rest of the class.
Nazis to left of me Nazis to the right, here I am stuck in the middle again.
A few weeks back I went to lunch and in front of the local post office there was a conservative group with a bunch of signs and posters with pictures of Obama having a Hitler mustache all over them. Last week I saw a liberal group with a bunch of posters and signs with Romney having a Hitler mustache all over them. I’m not sure which holds the copyright on having likened a political leader to the worst murderer in recent history, but someone needs to sue someone.
He has an iPad, that’s an iOS device, once you launch the phone app you just press the numbers, it’s hardly rocket science.
A socialist’s mind doesn’t work that way. It takes 9 people, 8 of them on state supported welfare payments, to change a lightbulb.
So explain how the socialist commie engineers at Apple can make such great products. You do realize that about 80% of Apple employees here are Libtard Democrats, don’t you? BTW about the same ratio across town at Google too. It takes education to work at either, something the gaptoothed bible thumping teabaggers generally lack. I think you are confusing things with the Dell folks down south.
Shh… don’t tell him that. All great tech is created by super conservative, republican religious zealots. They are the free thinkers who think outside the box and create things that change the world.
If you work for PennDOT in PA, you can easily double the number of employees.
I could believe that Apple retail employees who are at the lower end of the education and pay scale and are mostly young are Democrats or liberals, they make up a disproportionate amount of Apples employee counts. I don’t except that 80% of the educated hard working well paid engineers are democrats without some proof.
Do you have any?
Accept – Cal. college?
I do. I don’t know about the random statistic that was thrown out, but the majority of them are Dems (and even those that are not Dems because of the Dems’ hostile tax structure, are certainly overwhelmingly still very liberal otherwise). But I have no proof that you would accept.
the D tax plan is hardly hostile to the majority. Now that pile of trash Ryan has cooked up, that is hostile to a whole lot more people..
Ryan’s plan is certainly worse, but the current tax structure is still very hostile in my opinion. Perhaps not as much to the majority, but that doesn’t make it any more fair. And it isn’t only the infamous “1%” that is punished. It is all the of middle/upper middle class working people and small business owners that suffer under it.
We are in need of sweeping tax reform. Unfortunately, no one on either side wants to begin to approach it correctly.
You wouldn’t know a socialist let alone their mind if it bit you in the leg.
I saw this last night, knew it would show up here.
The man HAS an iPad… We’ve seen it. The iPhone shouldn’t have been a problem.
Stunts like this are planned (he didn’t just on the spot decide to make calls…) this should have been rehearsed ahead if time. Someone on staff gave him the iPhone.. It should have been ready to go all he had to do was press send etc.
So at least some/half the blame does need to fall on his staff..
But how much you want to bet the blackberry/android crowd are having a blast with the story?
No, imagine if it had been pre-dialed for him: “His Highness doesn’t need to lift a precious ring-encrusted finger even to just dial a simple, phone number. He has people to do that for him”. etc.
or “How many people does it take to dial a phone number for King Obama? A village”. etc etc
You can’t win either way in this wannabe third world country.
So no, dialing it for him would not have helped. Then again, most Americans have no idea how to use their iPhone, trust me.
i didn’t say dial for him… I said have it READY for him to just dial.
Reading comprehension.
What part of “It should have been ready to go all he had to do was press send etc.” did I not understand?
the press WOULD NOT HAVE REPORTED anything if it was ready to go.
Putting in a number ahead of time is not dialing, I said They should have given the phone to him and all he had to do was hit send. Not open the phone app, enter the number then dial.. That’s what confused him.
And FYI… This is common with campaigns. Hand the guy the phone ready to go so there are NO issues.. You don’t hand your opposition anything that can be used like this.
I am no Obama fan.. But like I said, some/half the blame is on his staff.
Don’t worry, the way Romney keeps falling in the polls and keeps backtracking and contradicting his running mate, Obama will be around for quite some time as an occasion for more conservative angst.
A falsehood based on Democrat skewed polls that is intended to demoralize Republican voters and suppress turnout.
It won’t work.
President Romney and Vice President Ryan.
Get used to it.
More lies! Your basing this on Republican skewed polls about Democratic skewed polls intended to demoralize Democratic voters into showing up on the day after the election because ….. oh hell I ran out of stupid rhetoric. I need a random catch phrase rhetoric machine.
you mean Michelle Obama telling you to show up on the wrong date… not republicans.
(look it up if you dare)
That will return AMERICA TO THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH. I can hardly wait.
Have you ever even been outside the US, not including some all-inclusive resort or cruise ship?
@F2T2:
Yes indeed, the polls are skewed. Tweaking the methodology in numerous ways you can achieve different results.
If I remember correctly, Dukakis had a 17-point lead immediately after the DEM convention reported by NYT and lost. Carter also held a large lead after his convention and lost.
Bottom line: Media polls are next to meaningless. Internal campaign polling is more focused, geographical and precise.
I see the real polls everyday and I’ve already explained in other comments how the game works:
It’s already over, you just haven’t been told to think it yet. The mainstream media won’t tell you what to think until after they reap the political ad spending windfall.
Or you could finally learn to think for yourself.
Your choice.
Again, President Romney and Vice President Ryan. Get used to it.
You have no idea which is totally understandable.
I have decades of work experience and know how internal polling and the media works without revealing details.
Been thinking for myself all my life, thank you very much.
As an often ignored and maligned independent by both parties and the media, unless something major changes my mind, I’m leaning your way.
not only that, but carter had like an 8 point lead over Reagan in the weeks leading up to the election.
Or so they claimed, Cause Carter’s 2nd term…. Wait, he lost.
As all the real political junkies know, the only polls to even remotely believe are those in the final week… And internal polls.
Get this, the “polls” today say Obama up 3-5 points… Yet the state polls in 5 battleground states… Show Romney gained ground over Obama.
You do not hear those polls being mentioned in the media though…. Wonder why?
Do you really believe the nonsense that comes out of your pie hole? Does it go right into your lemming brain via clear channel and then you recite thegarbage on cue or what?
I would love to watch you try to solve puzzles, I am sure it would be fascinating in a Jane Goodall way..
President Romney and Vice President Ryan.
Well, it must be fairly. Ew for him to “dail” out from the phone. Since he has people to do everything for him, he basically answers the phone, checks emails, and looks up what is need. An iPad and iPhone differ little except of the “phone” part.
You wanna bet the iPhone would have worked flawlessly if he had his assistant make the call. Probably better to have used Siri. No issue… Move On.
A report said something so that means the president is stupid.
One report? More like one more report of thousands. I didn’t need to know that Obama was inept at using an iPhone to confirm my assessment of his failure as a president. However, the news that Obama couldn’t grasp the rudimentary functions of an iPhone is laughable.
…and you don’t even need an iPhone to confirm mine.
Come November 06 we will know.
I doubt you’ll learn.
I know enough and millions of citizens know enough, too.
Sent from my iPhone.
Obviously he never learned to count either, let alone anything else.

C1, Jimmy Carter was and is a smart man but a horrible president. Obama is smart also and a great speaker and a wonderful father and husband.. and he’s Jimmy Carter’s 2nd term.
He’s a terrible president.
Bill Clinton started out liberal like Obama and got slaughtered in the mid term elections putting the first Republican congress in power in 40 years. Clinton had his come to Jesus moment and went moderate. He passed welfare reform and helped balance the budget. Then we had a huge economic boom that lasted until the Sep 11 attacks.
Obama got slaughtered in the mid terms worse than Clinton but he remained a hard liberal and defiant and the results are plain to see.
He won’t be elected again and it won’t be close.
If you think Obama is a hard liberal, you’ll learn even less than MacFreak. If you still think these elections are about Left vs. Right and conservative vs. liberal, you don’t know a thing.
Hey Chrissy, good to see you around here again.
With these guys EVERYTHING is Left vs. Right now. There’s no need for thinking or analysis of issues. Politics is now a team sport – you either root for one team or the other. Makes it easy for the mentally challenged.
I’m considering setting up a website to sell Conservative and Liberal jerseys. It is really sad what this has gotten to.
So, ChrissyOne thinks that the election has nothing to do with politics. What a maroon. Just take a gander of the EU’s social and economic failures generated by socialism.
Your reading skill continue to amaze me.
Oh, and iCal’ed.
T-Moon:
Your points are well taken. Thanks for telling it like it us.
Obama and Carter are good people on many levels. But not good at looking out for everyone and both have a track record of terrible legislators.
While others talk about unimportant team terminology, t-shirts, media/Hollywood love and grandiose speeches what is needed is plain and simple.
Experienced leadership.
Like it is, sorry.
He’s not that smart or he wouldn’t have prescribed liberal economic theories or been a liberal pushover in foreign policy.
Let’s be serious folks – he’s not allowed to use most devices for security reasons. And we have known for a long time that he has and iPad and a Blackberry. It’s not an ordinary Blackberry – it’s one that is provided to him by some agency and is secure etc. Grow up, stop looking for things to criticize and try to see the big picture.
A person who cannot be trusted with an iPhone surely cannot be relied upon to be president.
There are security protocols that are limited to certain devices. Those devices don’t include Apple devices. It’s that simple.
When is MDN going to have a poll of who Mac user’s will vote for in Nov?
They probably won’t. It would likely not turn out the way they’d like. 🙂
Well, based on what I see here, I’m not sure which way the poll would go.
“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” – Clint Eastwood, September 7, 2012
The truth will eventually come out, once it’s guy and his pal, Billy Zipper have done enough damage for decades.
At President Clinton’s direction, no fewer than 10 federal agencies issued a chilling ultimatum to banks and mortgage lenders to ease credit for lower-income minorities or face investigations for lending discrimination and suffer the related adverse publicity. They also were threatened with denial of access to the all-important secondary mortgage market and stiff fines, along with other penalties.
The threat was codified in a 20-page “Policy Statement on Discrimination in Lending” and entered into the Federal Register on April 15, 1994, by the Interagency Task Force on Fair Lending. Clinton set up the little-known body to coordinate an unprecedented crackdown on alleged bank redlining.
The edict �� completely overlooked by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission and the mainstream media — was signed by then-HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, Attorney General Janet Reno, Comptroller of the Currency Eugene Ludwig and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, along with the heads of six other financial regulatory agencies.
“The agencies will not tolerate lending discrimination in any form,” the document warned financial institutions.
So this is where it all started. In 1994. When the government pressured lenders to qualify the unqualified. To put people into houses they couldn’t afford. Or else.
Nope, it started under Ronnie Raygun and his love of deregulation. (A pattern Clinton would emulate) and foolish belief in “trickle down” economics.
Liar.
When Obama asked Steve Jobs why Apple manufacturing jobs are not coming back to the US and Steve said those jobs are never coming back. Did Steve show Obama an iPhone, saw that it was too hard for Obama to intuitively figure out how to operate and was it then, when Steve said to Obama, “You’re going to be a one term president!”?
Obama, in one fell swoop, negated Steve’s life regarding that whole “intersection of technology and humanities” thing! Nice going Barry!
Prejudice is not only about calling people names and expressing biased conclusions about their actions, it’s also about a willingness to believe the worst of someone, no matter how far fetched the story. I firmly believe that about half the vitriol expressed about Obama stems from racial prejudice, both conscious and unconscious. I have my disagreements with Obama’s policies, but my disagreements don’t stem from the idea that “He doesn’t look like a president”, as I have often heard.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on which camp you inhabit politically, Romney’s campaign is rapidly self-destructing. And the wild and ignorant claims and accusations of his supporters about Obama, coupled with their constant, mindless mimicking of right wing radio are contributing to a public perception that Romney and his supporters are a bunch of crackpots without any real understanding of the issues.
Well said.
What are we going to do with you?!
So are you saying Blacks are racially prejudice when they called George Bush names and expressing biased conclusions about his actions, that it’s also their willingness to believe the worst of someone, no matter how far fetched the story? After all, Kanye West said Bush doesn’t like Black people. You remember the stories of Bush blowing up the levies in New Orleans to drown the Black people. I’m sure the CBC had lovely things to say about Bush. Remember when Bush was running for office, they had a commercial saying he killed some black guy all over again after a couple of good ole boys chained and dragged a black man to his death!
Zeke, my friend, I’ve heard the same tripe from people on your side for the past 30 plus years, right wing radio this, blah, blah, blah that. It was right hate talk that shot Gabby Giffords. It was some TEA Party type that placed a bomb in NY’s Time Square, and as always, both proven to be ignorance spewed from YOUR side Zeke!
Romney’s campaign self-destructing?! News to me. Ask Jimmy Carter if he thinks Reagan was self destruction when Reagan was down in the polls at this same time. Ask Dukakis who had a 17 point lead of GHW Bush if Bush was self destructing. I don’t have a crystal ball to know what’s going to happen in November, but I can say with 100% accuracy, neither do you!
Finally, I will leave you with this. Which party has the White House at a time when not one, but two uprisings of ‘We the People’ in only three years of first term occurred? And your side called George Bush a divider!
^ agree.
Really? And which side would be mine, in your view? Whichever you choose you’ll be wrong. But you’re exactly right about one thing. The same stupidity is exhibited by the mindless on both sides of the political debate. It’s just that there seems to be more vocal mindlessness on the Republican side at this point, and the paranoid fantasies don’t seem to be limited to the “true believers” who inhabit the political fringes. The Republicans seem to expect us to take these things seriously. My advice would be step out of the echo chamber for a few minutes and actually think about what you are hearing.
Romneys campaign imploding?
Are you tired after traveling here from your parallel universe?
Oh don’t forget to say hi to evil Captain Kirk when you return!
Do you really think that Ryan is not another Palin? Wait and see.
You can’t compare someone to another that you do not know.
You have no idea who the real Sarah Palin is. You were told what to think and you did so like a automation. Your premise is ridiculous because it’s based on a SNL/mainstream media-generated stereotype and that makes your comparison to Ryan all the more ludicrous.
Ryan is not another “Palin” as you’ve been programmed to think of her, but – as far as taking on the establishment and being young and healthy – he is another Palin. And that’s a very good thing. It’s exactly what this country needs.
How is it that you know anything about what I do or do not know about Sarah Palin? How do you know what my view of Palin is based on? You have no idea and no basis for stating that you do. Ryan may be young and healthy, but the ideas he has expressed publicly will not be popular with mainstream voters, just as the views expressed by Palin were rejected.
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about:
The Kenyan government will be pleased to host their native son Barrack Hussein Obama for a post election ” I had them fooled for 4 years” losing party.
things that seem intuitive after you have used them are not necessarily intuitive before you have used them. ask scottie about that.
Maybe it’s time for MDN to limit comments to registered users to reduce the recent increase in trolls.
I repeat: The least qualified person in any room he enters. Forget not being able to make a call on such a ubiquitous device. He can’t read or count.
“At a campaign event in Kissimmee, Fla., Obama said if voters re-elect him over GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, he’ll push to see “three proud words” on products around the world: “Made in the USA.””
Products say “Made in USA” and it is common among many folks to misspeak that. Your comment has reduced the mean average of intelligence here.
Even including the word “the” he is correct. USA is NOT a word, it is an abbreviation.
Face it Dems/Libs/Progs, you elected another joke. The biggest one, yet. And, I thought you’d never be able to top Carter.
ObamaCare diagnosed in one sentence by Dr. Barbara Bellar:
We’re going to be gifted with a healthcare plan that we’re forced to purchase and fined if we don’t, which purportedly covers at least 10 million more people without adding a single doctor but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President who smokes — [laughter] — same sentence! — with funding administered by a Treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government that has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese — [laughter] — and finally, financed by a country that’s broke.
So what the blank could possibly go wrong?
This conversation serves no point but to feed hate between the two parties.
