Obama compares Clinton to Annie Oakley

[Psycho4Bud]

"She is running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how she values the Second Amendment. She's talking like she's Annie Oakley," Obama told an audience at a union hall here, invoking the famed female sharpshooter immortalized in the musical "Anne Get Your Gun."

Obama continued, saying "Hillary Clinton is out there like she's on the duck blind every Sunday. She's packing a six-shooter. Come on, she knows better. That's some politics being played by Hillary Clinton. â?¦ She knows better. Shame on her. Shame on her."

The Clinton campaign issued a quick retort to Obama's comments.

"For months, Barack Obama and his campaign have relentlessly attacked Hillary Clinton's character and integrity by using Republican talking points from the 1990s," said spokesman Phil Singer. "The shame is his. Senator Clinton does know better - she knows better than to condescend and talk down to voters like Senator Obama did."

Keep up the good fight.....LMAO! So duck hunters sit in their blind with a six shooter. He just doesn't have a clue. I'm sure this statement is impressive for all the bitter gun huggers.:rolleyes:

Have a good one!:s4:

If you actually heard the speech it was obvious he was making a joke/being sarcastic.

Or maybe I misunderstood what you were implying. I am pretty stoned. :stoned:

I love how Obama, one of the most liberal gun grabbing P.O.S, acts like he's the one who is more for the second admendment, when all sane people realize that they are both rated a "0" in the NRA's list of pro-second admendment politicians.

I'm not sure which election amuses me more. This one or the last one where we had Douche bag #1 vs Douche bag #2... AKA Bush vs Kerry.

Why does it seem like we never get any politicians who actually seem like they would be good in the white house gain the Rep/Dem. ticket? Blah I say.. blah.

Your very right. I wanted Ron Paul honestly. It always ends up being about "who do you hate more". We need an extra option on the ballot that says, "None. We wanna roll again damnit".

It's like the classic South Park episode, Giant Douche VS. Turd Sandwich.

Yeah he was "trying" to be funny but to make that sort of statement once again demonstrates how much he really knows about the mind set of hunters and middle class america. This guy has a record of being anti-gun. He'll protect the 2nd ammendment untill elected.

Have him make a joke about NASCAR and how Clinton would be racing with her hopped up 4 cyl.. I'm sure racing fans would find that VERY amusing.

I love racing European cars but I'm not going to get bent out of shape if someone makes a joke about me driving a Yugo.

Perhaps a poor example but the point is that alot of these groups are a bit hyper sensitive to a joke that was made in his speech that had absolutely nothing to do with gun rights. This speech was in regards to how people say he's out of touch.

The problem here is not with the politicians. Your post is actually a perfect example of how we feed politicians to cater to us in the way we do.

You're obviously for the 2nd amendment. As well as I; however the 2nd amendment is not going to be a deal breaker for me. It's signifigance is small in comparison to the number of things we do need in this country.

Enviormentalists; I agree we need to do something to be pro-active in taking care of our planet. However if the new president only throws the occasional look towards how we will reach enviormental goals then it's not going to be a deal breaker for me. It's signifigance is small in comparison to the number of things we do need in this country.

If a candidate says he/she is going to legalize marijuana. That will make no difference to me whether I vote for them or not. It's signifigance is small in comparison to the number of things we do need in this country.

Do you see where I'm going with this.

People get riled up and in arms when someone doesn't have their same view. Here's a surprise, with over 6 billion people on the planet there's a good chance people will not share your views (please note I am not specifically talking about you, I am using you/your in a general population context).

Why do people cling so hard to issues that pale in importance compared to other pressing matters at hand. Iraq war, local economy, US Export, foreign policies... etc etc. These are things I'm far more interested in than gun control and other smaller causes I support/dont support.

If a candidate has a string of issues I just don't side with then of course I am not going to vote that way, but no single issue alone is going to sway me on any candidate.

I don't know why people blame politicians for tripping over their words or telling us what we want to hear. People tend to be so gung ho for a cause (PETA, a number of enviormentalists, Hardcore Members of the NRA, Some members of the NAACP; etc etc...) that they forget to look at the picture as a whole. Once they hear what they want they will either like or dislike a candidate when in all actuality there should be more to it than that. When they decide they dislike someone they will pick any phrase and try to put it out of context or make it seem more out of touch or obtuse or insensitive as possible.

It's fine to not like a person or candidate or politician; however people need to be realistic when trying to analyze what a politician is saying.

Despite what his stance is on gun control it would not sway me one way or another on how I would vote for him. Besides it would have to pass through congress... and I doubt any legislation nullifying the 2nd amendment would pass.

bleh I just woke up.. I hope that made sense.. It wasn't an attack. It was meant as a general statement how people are way too serious on some things and not serious enough about what we should care about and how we shouldn't be so quick to attack pull select phrases from candidate speeches in attempts to twist them around OUR own special interests. We should be looking at the interests of the country as a whole not specifically on an individual/individual basis.

I wanted Ron Paul also. Though I was wary of his economic policy.. I mean what he wanted to do with the federal reserve. I don't know, but to me he seemed like our best chance.

Now I'm stuck with these 3 turd muffins to pick from.. bleh.

To me these issues are of major importance also. I DO NOT agree at all with the Dems stance on Iraq. Like I've stated before we have ONLY two options:

1) Keep up with what we're doing until Iraq can handle the security across their country on their own.
2) A COMPLETE withdrawl of all troops and if civilian workers, Iraqi nationals that were loyal to us, and diplomats want to go in the parade they're welcome....the rest stay at their own risk.

The Dems (Obama AND Clinton) plan is completely ridiculous to say the least! So how many troops will be needed to protect over 100,000 civilian workers, our embasy, diplomates and these Iraqi nationals? We may be losing some lives now but we're not seeing our men and women being hung from bridges anymore. Leave a skeleton force and see what happens on your 6:00 news.

There is also illegal immigration that I don't agree with ANY of the current candidates on. Illegal is illegal.......seems that a citizen of the U.S. has more of a grasp of that concept more than foreigners crossing our borders.

Just wanted to reitterate that I didn't mean you specifically. I've read several of your posts in this thread and have read many reasons you don't like them. I agree with this method of choosing or bashing a candidate.

I merely used your post as an example because I know so many people that use one stance or belief to dislike a nominee when it should be something you decide collectively on.

I didn't mean to insinuate you were merely jumping on the bash <insert candidate of the week here> bandwagon. My apologies.

:thumbsup:

It's just adds into the big picture on a candidate....past, friends, voting records, etc....

No reason for that my friend. I'm just hoping I don't come across as racist on this. I have NO time for Obama but if Colin Powell was running he'd have my vote! An extremely smart individual that seems to have a natural dislike for Washington politics. :thumbsup:
