"At diner, Obama brushes off question on Hamas. Says, 'Why can’t I just eat my waffle?'"

Something you may only half remember, reported April 21, 2008, in the Chicago Sun-Times.

Nope, I remember that. 100%.

He was and remains a smooth-talking, empty suit. But, hey, the first black...

Looking back on 2008 and 2012, what about Obama do we actually know is true?

I was going to make a snarky comment about whether the waffles were pecan with whipped butter and real maple syrup, but then I clicked through to the article.

He randomly complimented some older lady on her beauty. Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten what a POS he was about pretty women. And he made the waitress chase him about the diner to try and deliver the plate of waffles. Silver Spoon Guy who never worked a regular job in his life.

Leftists love their death cults. Their white left hearts bleed for death cults.
Obama is white left.

Obama gave his terrorist co-conspirators $1.6 billion dollars of US taxpayers money during his time as President, not to mention the $1.5 billion he paid to Iran so they could free up other money for their terrorist activities around the world, including buying the bullets and rockets that Hamas uses to kill babies.

Obama is ample proof that al Qaeda won on 9-11.

Otherwise, he'd be in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in the waterboarding cell right next to Hillary Clinton.

Obama helped make Hamas what it is today.

And Obama/Soros are the shadow government... Biden is a senile crooked puppet.

I detest Obama, but I have always liked his response to that question.

The question wasn't simply "about Hamas," it was about Jimmy Carter's 2008 meeting with the leader of Hamas, yet another Logan Act violation.

Could someone name something, that Obama did; that THEY think was Good?
Anyone? Everyone? I'd love to hear about it.. Details, please!

Barack voluntarily entered politics. He got rich from it. Part of the job is answering questions from the press and public.

My favorite thing about Obama’s Reign of Error - it turns out - was NOT all the racial healing! It was the brown-nosing and funding of Islamic Terrorism.

I remember it very well. I remember thinking at the time the fact that it sank without a trace only made how obvious the media was in the tank for Obama. Any other politician would have been hounded as a "waffler" but the fix was in for the first electable black candidate.

We are reaping the consequences of his election now and will continue to do so for some time. Sadly, the man who opposed him would have been little better and perhaps even worse, but I must say that the fact that the best candidate for president since Reagan was a man named Trump is a lamentable condition.

In a just world I think that Bush the younger, Obama, and Biden, and both Clintons would be in prison for treason, but the only man currently in legal jeopardy is the Trump. Never a fan of the man, but the policies he espoused were the best for the country since the days of Reagan.

Any one who locks their doors at night or their car at any time and continues to vote democratic is either a fool or a hypocrite or perhaps suffering from cognitive dissonance to a terminal degree. Not to mention inflation, rampant crime being encouraged, and the lunacy of renewable energy replacing fossil fuels.

The United States has become Obama's Waffle House. Would that it were staffed by people as feisty as some of the original Waffle House employees who have been featured in videos of late.

This is from 2 years ago - btw.

White left idiot extraordinaire - Jimmy Carter - screwed the world over a long time ago.

Obama was an excellent campaigner, especially as supported by the press. The answer to Obama's question is, "Because you won't do press conferences, and when you do crazy things in your foreign policy, this is the only opportunity to get your explanations of those crazy things." But far be it from any press person to ever state that aloud.

KILL THEM ALL.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

I remember the waffling, but had no recollection it was prompted by a question about Hamas. Democrat leaders are usually careful to remain terror-adjacent without actually giving full throated support to their murderous actions. Tacit support yes. Not obvious, politically entangling support.

Keywords: Democrat, leaders, usually

Will Donald Trump be invited to Jimmy Carter's funeral?

Now Obama is crying crocodile tears about the massacre of Israeli civilians.

This is the American Left’s Finest Hour.

And not an IgnaRant® to read. Death… where is thy sting!?!?

The Crack Emcee said...

I wonder what anyone here would say if Israel killed some of our guys for their participation in the attack? I mean, since they're so sure that war is the answer,...

The leader of a nation - all the way back - never had expectation of privacy from his governed except when in actual private, such as the bedroom and toilet.

And not even then.

The exceptions invariably turn out to be tyrants.

He correctly characterized Joe Biden: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f@ck things up."

Hey now, you're not allowed to criticize the LightBringer.

I immediately thought of LBJ.
