DanG 1 #26 June 18, 2014 While "Oprah" and "Obama" may look like the same word at a distance, she is not, nor never has been, a member of Obama's administration. She was not speaking on the administration's behalf, she was expressing her own opinion. Try again. (BTW, your google search just delivered right wing websites making the same claim as regulator without actually backing it up, just like you.) - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanG 1 #27 June 18, 2014 And now that I actually looked up what Oprah said, your example is even less convincing. She said: "There is a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs, in some cases—and maybe even many cases—because he’s African-American" See if you can tell the logical difference between these two statements: 1. Some people oppose the President because he's black. 2. All people who oppose the President are racist. Let me know if you need me to draw a Venn diagram for you. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #35 June 19, 2014 turtlespeedCan you answer the question. These questions? QuoteSo who speaks for him? His speech writers? Well, up until a few days ago a guy by the name of Jim Carney could literally speak for the President. This is also currently true of Ambassador Kerry. The President also speaks for himself AND for the American government. Because he is a busy man, he has a staff of speech writers (again, just like every modern President) who help him craft the words. He's is at least as involved in the writing of those speeches as most other modern Presidents have been and probably far more so than a couple others. In any case, the President does have final say in the words he delivers. Now . . . does that answer your question or do you wish to continue trolling? I'm only calling you out on it because it's getting WAY old and tired. It seems like it's the only thing you do here.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you can be fairly certain that they parrot some or even most of what people like Oprah do say. Out of the hundreds of people that "speak for the President, you can honestly claim that not ONE of them ever uttered anything regarding "If you disagree with Obama you are a racist"?

regulator 0 #39 June 19, 2014 Negative. he doesn't speak for himself. He reads off a teleprompter with speeches his people make up for him. And when the liberal media asks him a tough question that isn't on the script of questions to ask he runs away with his tail between his legs. That is most definately NOT a leader. http://www.thefederalistpapers.org/us/see-obama-lecture-female-reporter-storm-off-after-she-asks-a-question-about-syria Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlike GWB, who personally led his troops into battle in Iraq, and GHWB, who personally parachuted into Panama to detain Noreiga, and who personally led the allied troops into Kuwait in Desert Storm. And Reagan, who personally parachuted into Grenada at the head of the 75th Rangers. Why do you like making yourself look foolish?...
