Oopsi-Daisy Moment by ObamaView MessagesObama actually just said this ... “and he quickly realized he showed his hand. He also disputed the notion that adding a government-run insurance plan into a menu of options from which people could pick would drive private insurers out of business, in effect making the system single-payer by default. As long as they have a good product and the government plan has to sustain itself through premiums and other non-tax revenue, private insurers should be able to compete with the government plan, Obama said. "They do it all the time," he said. "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. ... It's the Post Office that's always having problems."” 12:00:05 PM 8/11/09 “Where's that teleprompter when you need it?” 12:02:03 PM 8/11/09 “DOH!” 12:03:01 PM 8/11/09 “get out the ky! broke back mountain time for stovypoo and hpd last edited: 8/11/09 11:54:50 AM” 12:04:04 PM 8/11/09 “The post office doesn't charge enough for junk mail, it's like churches, mortgages, student loans, employee health care, TV ads and food, it's overly subsidized thus in over abundance( did MJ do the abundance?).

Right now they are in a panic over the dropping mail rate.” 1:43:47 PM 8/11/09 “Anyone who has a problem with an organization that delivers a letter across town or across the country for 44 cents is a special kind of stupid.” VioLiN 9:22:45 PM 8/05/09” 5:55:51 AM 8/12/09 “I think the problem is not what they can do, but the fact that they have very little if any accountability.” 6:06:44 AM 8/12/09 “eh, I think the problem is what they can do” 6:07:55 AM 8/12/09 6:36:23 AM 8/12/09 “Why is junk mail everywhere, it's to cheap, why don't you believe in supply and demand anymore liars? Make the others carry the consumeristic junk mail for the price the USPS does.” 6:45:48 AM 8/12/09 “ Afterbirthers Demand To See Obama's PlacentaWASHINGTON–In the continuing controversy surrounding the president's U.S. citizenship, a new fringe group informally known as "Afterbirthers" demanded Monday the authentication of Barack Obama's placenta from his time inside his mother's womb. "All we are asking is that the president produce a sample of his fetal membranes and vessels—preferably along with a photo of the crowning and delivery—and this will all be over," said former presidential candidate and Afterbirthers spokesman Alan Keyes, later adding that his organization would be willing to settle for a half-liter of maternal cord plasma. "To this day, the American people have not seen a cervical mucus plug, let alone one that has been signed and notarized by a state-certified Hawaiian health official. If the president was indeed born in the manner in which he claims, then where is his gestation sac?" Keyes said that if Obama did not soon produce at least a bloody bedsheet from his conception, Afterbirthers would push forward with efforts to exhume the president's deceased mother and inspect the corpse's pelvic bone and birth canal” 7:31:29 PM 8/28/09 “Mmmmm, afterbirth!” 7:32:57 PM 8/28/09 “That's more of a t*lt thing isn't it, vile?” 7:37:44 PM 8/28/09 “You drag that kicking horse everywhere you go, don't you, SternO?” 8:42:53 PM 8/28/09 “His biggest oopsie Daisy Article Two, Section One, Clause Eight: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Eventually the topic got around to Obama. The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle''. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a 'post turtle' was. The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'. The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with'.” 6:32:18 AM 2/10/10 ““Obama is due for an oopsi-daisy moment when Iran announces to the world that they have nuclear capability.

Full Image ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkey's foreign minister is warning of a breakdown in ties with the U.S. after a congressional committee approved a resolution branding the World War I-era killing of Armenians genocide. Ahmet Davutoglu said Friday the Obama administration had not sufficiently put its weight behind efforts to block the vote. He called on the administration to prevent the measure from coming to the full House. Turkey angrily withdrew its ambassador to the U.S. minutes after Thursday's vote. Davutoglu said the issue was a matter of "honor" and said the country would assess what other measures to take. Historians estimate up to 1.5 million Armenians were victims of genocide. Turkey denies the deaths constituted genocide.” 10:58:28 AM 3/05/10 “This is REALLY bad. Why exactly is this "REALLY" bad? Oh, and be specific.” 11:23:36 AM 3/05/10 “Why is Congress wasting time on this? WWI was about 95 years ago.” 11:37:04 AM 3/05/10 “I believe that Turkey is a much more important ally than is generally believed. Certainly more than is let on in the press. I believe there role in fighting terrorism is greatly understated, and their influence on world markets as it relates to US interests. There role is critical in our efforts in the middle east, but Obama doesn't care. He's not interested in our financial nor our military successes. The Turkish government is beginning to look elsewhere and is going to become less of an asset, and more of a liability (both economically and military intelligence-wise) as our alliance quickly fades away. Obama is quick to say how he wants to be friends with everybody, but in reality, he's quick to make enemies with those that are our friends.” 11:37:21 AM 3/05/10 “The Turkish government is beginning to look elsewhere and is going to become less of an asset, Well they've been looking elsewhere since the collapse of the Soviet Union. They've been careful not to be reliant on the US ever since. They're a growing regional power, and they've rebuked the US in a number of ways in the ME and Afghanistan since 9/11. That's why I don't consider this to be a huge deal (yet). Turkey is overly involved with domestic identity issues as they play out with the geopolitical web entangling them with armenia, azerbaijan, and russia. So some of the strong reaction is definitely intended for domestic consumption. Otherwise, I don't disagree with you.” 12:51:12 PM 3/05/10 “That's why I don't consider this to be a huge deal (yet). As I alluded to above, I believe this is a sign of things to come based on what we know about Obama. I don't think that Turkey has been "looking elsewhere" as much as you might think since the collapse. I believe our MI is much more in collaboration with them that people know. But, that's not something I can produce a document of to prove it. I think much of what you're referring to has been posturing rather than a sincere stance; as you said "So some of the strong reaction is definitely intended for domestic consumption."” 12:59:16 PM 3/05/10 “I don't think that Turkey has been "looking elsewhere" as much as you might think since the collapse. They refused the US the use of their bases during the buildup for the iraq war. That's what I call giving us the bird! LOL Plus, more recently, they refused the US request to send more troops, particularly for comabat duty, to afghanistan.” 1:05:37 PM 3/05/10 “I agree totally that on the surface they are, but again I think behind the scenes they have been much more forgiving in the past than what it seems to the casual observer. Domestic politics aside ... But yeah, sucks for us.” 2:12:15 PM 3/05/10 ““Why is Congress wasting time on this? WWI was about 95 years ago.” The right wing always wants to talk about the Framers in 1776 and that war in 1860's. Wake up , that group's favorite book is almost 2k years old.” 2:23:16 PM 3/05/10 “Historians estimate up to 1.5 million Armenians were victims of genocide. Turkey denies the deaths constituted genocide So, what are you saying? Do you deny it was genocide, or would you just prefer that America denied it?” 3:17:46 PM 3/05/10 “we may get lucky and the greeks will take us back. it's been a few years and they could use the money.” 4:28:14 PM 3/05/10 “I think behind the scenes they have been much more forgiving in the past than what it seems to the casual observer. example?” 4:59:07 PM 3/05/10 “Why are you making this about Obama HPD? Congress did this, not Barry.” 5:02:43 PM 3/05/10 “Do you deny it was genocide, or would you just prefer that America denied it? Do you think you can't shelve righteous condemnation without it amounting to an explicit denial? This is geopolitics, not philosophy. Grow up.” 5:04:04 PM 3/05/10 “Obviously the argument is that Barry didn't reign in the democrats.” 5:04:40 PM 3/05/10 “Well Barry can hardly be held accountable for what others in his party do. He's the leader of the country, not the whole party.” 5:06:21 PM 3/05/10
