A Speech I Want To Hear, And The Voice On The Other End Of The Phone Line
By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on September 29, 2009 at 9:00 AM in ABC News, ACORN, Abuse, Afghanistan, Bamboozling, Bill of Rights, Censorship, Chicago, Chicago politics, Current Affairs, Flip Flopping, Foreign Affairs, Fox News, George Stephanopoulos, Hoodwinking, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Soldiers/Veterans, Women and Children
That would be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaking out about violence against girls and women at the U.N. After the ad nauseum speeches of President Obama, this is an incredibly refreshing change, even though the subject is intense, to say the least. Still, this one has substance, and isn’t “just words.” I can’t help but think the audience knew the difference, too:
Remember that “3:00AM” ad? Who would we want answering the phone? This woman, that’s who.
Instead we have President Obama, who has gotten his early morning call, particularly regarding Afghanistan. He’s letting it go to voice-mail. Hey, he has more important things to do, like go to Copenhagen to push for Chicago to get the Olympic Games in 2016. Yep - it’s true. He’s making a “personal” appeal - presumably on OUR dime. Oh, he can’t be bothered with what’s going on with ACORN, mind you, but he can press for Chicago to get the Olympics. So, General McChrystal, and our troops, can just wait, dammit, until Obama can get to them. (By the way, General McChrystal is holding firm on wanting those troops, despite the pressure he is under to shut up.)
Oh, and a little side note on that, the whole Chicago Olympics bid. Turns out that Fox TV in Chicago has been warned - as only they can do in Chicago - to NOT air a program they did on people in Chicago OPPOSED to having the Olympics there again. Oh, I just love this Free Speech, don’t you?
Every time I hear Secretary Clinton speak, and then President Obama, every time, I am reminded of who would have been the better choice to have at the other end of the phone line in difficult times. And it sure isn’t Obama, no matter how much he loves to hear himself talk (though largely about himself, as THIS article highlights. Almost 1,200 times in just 41 speeches, NOT including all of the speechifying he did last week. Holy SMOKES - narcissistic much?). He’s not the one I would trust to deal with the big issues. Seems like some other folks are figuring that out now, too. Too late, though, for dealing with some major issues, like Afghanistan.
If only it wasn’t our soldiers who were going to bear the brunt of that call going to voice-mail…









































Seems ironic that Roman Polanski is appealing to the US State Department for help in getting the US to drop extradition efforts. Hopefully we won’t hear the SOS speaking out on behalf of a child rapist.
I plan to write ab that in a few minutes, and I cannot imagine SOS Clinton doing so…
I can’t imagine that Hillary Clinton would go along with helping a child rapist escape justice - even long delayed justice.
Hopefully one of BO’s crony plants at State won’t help Polanski under the radar and without Hillary’s approval. The Hollywood crowd that supports the “casting couch” mentality of the Polanski types is probably not above trying to exert their influence with BO to help this child rapist get a pass.
There is precedent. Weren’t Marc Rich and a bunch of domestic terrorists pardoned by Clinton (and Holder) on his way out? Liberals adore celebrities like Polanski, and often turn a blind eye to their debauchery, unless of course, you’re Kanye West. I still think though that calling Kanye a jackass was merely Obama’s clumsy way of calling him a Democrat.
onofre: what Democrats are you talking about? Love celebrities?
It’s very clear that I wrote “LIBERALS adore celebrities….”, and I did so intentionally. Don’t misquote me, or distort my meaning and then expect me to defend YOUR distortion.
Just this morning I heard Woopie G. trying to excuse Polanski, and the uber liberal Hoolywood croud is generally supportive of the child rapist. Have you ever heard liberals clammering for justice in the Polanski issue? In the last 30 years, I’ve not heard a peep out of them, and silence for such a disgusting criminal act is as good as approval. However, it appears that RRR Amy is going to post her take on the issue, so I’ll reserve further thoughts for her thread. But if you can’t recognize it, it might just be that you’re so invested with the lopsided duplicity of treatment given to liberals vs. conservatives, that you’re unable to perceive the forrest through the trees.
BuzzFlash just had some headline up ridiculing his arrest too. morally bankrupt.
Stop the bashing!
Whoopi has already declared he didn’t commit “rape-rape”. And all this time, I thought “drugging and butt f*cking” a 7th grader was a crime. My baddddd!
Maybe they can let that creep out in California because after all the 6th grader got into the car with him.
Nothin’ to see here - move along ……….
CAROL HAKA
Maybe Obama can pardon him for his good buddies in the “industry”.
Then, maybe he can invite him over for a slumber party at the White House with the girls!
No Problem as I see it!
CAROL HAKA
Isn’t little Malia or Sharia or whatever her name is almost 13? Wonder if Whoopi would feel the same way if it was Obama’s 13 year old. Wonder if Whoopi is a disciple of Frank Marshall Davis too! Didn’t he like to rape-rape teenagers?
Hey, BO can sell them off for a couple of packs of smokes under Sharia law if he wants ………………..
Just think, a White House Wedding with muliple girl brides and a dirty old pedophile freshly pardoned ……………….
Do ya think MO will call in Vera Wang or ………….. for their wedding gowns ………… does Vera do adolescent wedding gowns …………..?
CAROL HAKA
You’ve got to be kidding. This post is considered acceptable discourse in this community?
You’re right! I want all of the people on this thread to stop defending that child and stick up for Polanski!
Priorities people. Priorities.
Um, there’s nothing to defend about Polanski. He raped a child. End of story.
My comment had to do with a commenter here cracking jokes about the President selling off his teenage daughters into a child rape situation. I’m asking whether that is acceptable discourse at NoQuarter.
Speak to me directly.
Somehow you people think that open season on everyone but the Obama’s is an acceptable form of humor and pleasure. He’s he one who hangs out with and supports the Muslim community and the elite Hollywood crowd that has no problem with pedophilia.
THAT DISGUSTS ME. Maybe you can think back about how funny jokes were about Chelsea and Palin’s daughter were - I bet that puts a smile on your face. If not, maybe you can pull up BO’s visit over at Letterman’s for a full accounting of what 2 sick perverts look like!
CAROL HAKA
After all, he supports Sharia Law doesn’t he?
Because last I checked he hasn’t done anything about it!
CAROL HAKA
Show me evidence that Obama supports Sharia Law. Show me evidence that he “hangs out with” the Muslim Community. Explain to me why it is not okay for the American president to “support” the Muslim community, which, if memory serves, comprises something like 2% of the U.S. population.
If anyone else made sexual jokes about the daughters of a politician you support (as Letterman did, but as Obama himself has never done, ever), you would excoriate them, and rightly so. But when it comes to making the sickest of jokes about Obama’s own young daughters, you have no problem with it, and nobody else here is willing to stand up and say that’s wrong too.
I am the father of a very young girl. I find your commentary about the Obama girls utterly repulsive, and I think your hypocrisy is quite clear to anyone who has read this thread.
This whole Liberal Doctrine is a SICK JOKE pal, and too bad so sad if it bothers you. YOu sickening bunch of hypocritical elitists better get used to having those of us who are sick and tired of the double standard, we are fighting back. By NOT condeming Zeleya, Obama shows support for regimes like Chanvez and Ahmadenijad who most certainly DO denigrate women. Obama is a sneaky bastard and so are most of his corrupt cronies.
Right…Obama supports Chavez and Ahmadenijad. And Hillary despises them all, all those bad guys, and is constantly, bravely fighting the good solitary fight to combat evil regimes from within the confines of yet another evil regime headed by Obama.
It’s like you all live in some kind of comic book reality. lol.
well, there is the fact that obama campaigned for his buddy/cousin Raila Odinga in kenya, who supports sharia law. and there is the simple fact that islam allows multiple, very young, non-consenting wives, and obama has never had a thing to say about it; that’s why the joke about obama’s daughters is not out of line, and i normally oppose almost all mention of MO and the girls. if the POTUS is going to turn a blind eye to these practices because of his muslim background, or whatever, then one can only assume that he would be okay with his own children being subject to the same thing.
Sheer madness. Show me an instance in which Hillary Clinton has spoken out directly against Islam’s practice of allowing multiple wives. Please, enlighten me. Because I’ve been following the Clintons a lot longer, and probably a lot more carefully, than virtually anyone on this site, guaranteed, and I’d be very surprised if such a statement from HRC exists in the public record. Therefore, by your logic, we must assume that Hillary Clinton is in favor of the forced sexual enslavement of underage American girls as well. Right?
Apr 23, 2009 … Hillary Clinton testifies before the House Foreign Affairs Committee …. Sharia Law Threat To Women’s Rights
But don’t take my word for it. Google it just like I did.
And FYI, Obot — don’t come here and brag that you know more about the Clintons than people here. You have no idea to whom you boast.
Maybe Shuster and Letterman and ……….. can set you straight on that whole “pimping and trotting them out there” thingy ……
Oh, Carol - you can’t think that just because Polanski pled GUILTY to rape of a child that it was actually “rape rape,” could you?
I promise - I am working on a post on this very subject…
Sonic - I noticed that very thing - she spoke for over 15 minutes, and only hen she was talking abt specific programs did she consult her notes. Other than that, it was all her…WOW.
Dick Morris said last night: “Isn’t it interesting that the person that knows most about Health Care in the country - Hillary - is not pushing or commenting on BO’s plan? And, she is not commenting on Afghan or Iraq. At the right time when his numbers are fully plummeted, she is going to cut him loose with none of her fingerprints on his BS.”
There is a GOD! I have said it all along. I think she will dump him when the time is right. Oh yeah, we will have to hear about how Kennedy blew up the Democratic Party, blah blah blah blah ………….
Well if any thing ever needed to be ………….. it would be the Democratic Party …………….
As King Arthur said, “Runnnnnnnn girl Runnnnnnnnnnnn” (of course he actually said “boy”.)
CAROL HAKA
Saying ‘boy’ would’ve been racist.
Yah, too bad Dick Morris was one of the chief architects in bringing the Clintons down and one of Hillary’s biggest critics when Bush was in office. Talk about a hypocrite.
Maybe he has finally seen the light or needs to make money off of her again and he sees it slip slip sliding away ……….
CAROL HAKA
Or, maybe he really is getting scared of the crazies ………
He is a political prostitute.
And just who sent him to Kenya to help Odinga run for office…?
From what I see of morris he is trying to set Hillary up by instigating this, so the MSNBC and CNN repeat his nonsense about SOS Clinton and President Clinton. They were still bashing Hillary and Bill on countdown and a couple other of their trash shows after Pres .Clinton and Hillary show leadership and skill and doing their best to stay out of Obamas mess and still showing the leadership qualities and knowledge they have. they even mentioned Monica again. They just can’t get over their candidate was the wrong one to lead us in these very troubling times . Of course maybe they should be flitting across the country or out of the country like our dear leader. Notice when things have gotten tough they have no problem bringing the Clintons on board to help speak clearlyon issues that they can’t!
For the record, Rev Amy, I think you (and everyone else here) is absolutely right about the case of Polanski. Just because it was a long time ago and Polanski is a gifted artist doesn’t mean squat: what he did was a major crime, period.
Assw*pe has stood by while women and children and good men have been beaten, stoned and f*cked to death (the 12 year old that died last week giving birth)in the sick ass 3rd world countries he “bows and sucks up to”. He had to be told to stop the Sharia practice of withholding food and freedom to wives that didn’t submit in Pakistan - that was a whole whooping couple of months ago.
And, if you are under the impression we all all Republicans on this site you are stupidly mistaken. I have followed the Clintons for 18 years. I campaigned for Hillary. I worked the Texas 2 step for her.
She would have never allowed this bullsh*t to go on. She will dump his oh so “inadequate ignorant *ss” when the time is right.
Just because they haven’t gotten his nasty comments on tape and released yet, doesn’t mean the ugliness of his mind and the company he keeps isn’t there.
Just heard his Education …… Czar offered advise to an underage boy to use a condom while having sex with his older boyfriend.
I’m sick of preditors and their cheerleading squad.
CAROL HAKA
Yeah, yeah — any single human injustice that happens while Obama is president is by definition his responsibility. As if the Clintons accomplished anything along those lines while they were in the White House?
“She would have never allowed this bullsh*t to go on.” Yeah, sure — HRC, if she were in the White House, wouldn’t be focused on the economy, health care, Afghanistan, and everything else — she would be focused on solving all international injustices. And yeah, she wouldn’t be diplomatic and respectful when visiting Saudi Arabia, upon whose oil business the entire global economy still relies; she would have created a massive international crisis by insisting that they immediately transform the treatment of women within their borders.
You’re a fool, Carol. A deranged fool, at that. And anyone who actually believes this sort of hagiographic nonsense is similarly a fool. I won’t even attempt to characterize what one must be, and how one must think, to ascribe such utterly evil intentions to our current president on the basis of such flimsy evidence.
You’re right. The Clinton’s would leave for their 10th vacation while Iranians are being murdered in the street.
But, hey keep believing that BS.
“Flimsy” evidence is still evidence.
CAROL HAKA
And Whoopi isn`t really stupid…stupid.
But where is her teleprompter? (haha) Seriously, she looks to be at the top of her game. We WILL have a female president soon, and much as I like Palin, THIS woman is the far and away awesomest candidate.
Keep it going, Hillary!!
While I’m stating realities (and before I get banned), let’s be clear about this: Hillary Clinton would be a great president, and may yet become that. Sarah Palin is a joke. She can’t speak, can’t write, can’t think, and has little apparent appetite for actual work. She is out to get rich now off her fame and that’s all we’ll ever hear from her. Even talk show hosts have to work too hard for her; she’ll never even get that gig.
Please live in reality, NQers. Otherwise all your passion will have no point.
You’re an idiot!
Enough said. Go away!
CAROL HAKA
“Sarah Palin is a joke. She can’t speak, can’t write, can’t think, and has little apparent appetite for actual work. She is out to get rich now off her fame and that’s all we’ll ever hear from her.”
How fitting, let’s substitute Baracka for Sarah Palin: Barack Hussein Obama is a joke. He can’t speak (totus please), can’t write (Ayers the ghost writer) can’t think (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah), and has little apparent appetite for work (voted present 130? times, has had how many v a c a t i o n s…). He is out to get rich (when did he buy that mansion, and what was his income last year vs the previous years) now off his fame (his mug appears on teevee way toooo much to be taken seriously and not be viewed like hollywoody resident wannabe) and that’s all we’ll ever hear from him (yes, wasn’t his desk at the Oval office pretty much empty in that weird photo with his daughter too-big-to-be-crawling around the floor except for…like a stack of………. two papiers).
I’m thinking POlanski is S.O.L. with the S.O.S.!
Supposedly the Polish Prime Minister asked HRC to see that Polanski gets bail. He says that the arrest was “sinister”. Wadayasay?
Listening to Hillary speak is inspiring. She is so authentic. You can tell she cares passionately about the lives and well being of women and children everywhere on this great planet.
Watching Hillary turn defeat into triumph should inspire all of us to persist at pursuing our own goals even if we have to take a different tack to achieve them.
Somehow I think that a President Clinton would consider Gen. McChrystal’s input to be VITAL! But then, I’m only a lowly female!
Michael Sheuer, a former Bin Laden specialists, called Obama an “eternal adolescent”. I have seen the man speak several times, but cannot vouch for his credibility.
He is not alone, though, in his assessment of the non-involvement of the leader of the free world!
Exactly, Sassy - and I bet you think Hillary would probably have talked to him more than once every 70 days or so…
She is inspiring, no doubt abt it. And I, too, think it is interesting that she has been mum on health care and Afghanistan. Her silence speaks volumes (though I have NO doubt that if she DID say something that wasn’t in complete lock step with Obama, people would claim she was trying to undermine him). She is taking the high road, and is letting her previous words on these issues speak for her.
Rev. Amy:
HRC is now the Sec. of State. Health care is domestic policy. It would be neither appropriate nor, given her less-than-stellar history with this subject, advantageous for her to involve herself in this Congressional debate in any way.
As for Afghanistan: for anyone to suggest that Obama is not taking the subject seriously is just is silly. Even the barest modicum of reading on the subject makes clear that he is deliberating very extensively, consulting with all kinds of military leaders, and so on. To imply that the president cares more about the Olympics than about the lives of U.S. soldiers is just…Republican.
Hey, Obot — if he’s so concerned as you say, then why only one communication with McChrystal in 70 days? Was he just too busy going on Letterman and doing tv spots for George Lopez?
And there are worse things than being Republican.
mmm-mmm-mmm
>And there are worse things than being Republican.
Maybe so, but just barely. Republicans play no relevant or productive role in American political discourse these days. They had nothing relevant to say about the fiscal meltdown — nothing, nada, zilch, they would have just let the entire global economy collapse — and similarly, they have nothing relevant or productive to say about health care reform. Republicans and a few “conservative” Democrats are basically now putting all their energy into promoting an insane bill that literally was written by health insurance industry lobbyists.
And this site, of course, will support those “ideas” while condemning the genuinely progressive ideas like a public option which Hillary has spent many years fighting for. You’ll condemn them, because Obama supports them. Nice going.
I like the way you selectively debate; however, points will have to be deducted for deviating from the main talking points. You didn’t explain why your glorious leader who, until he stole the election, headed a subcommittee on Afghanistan and who also hammered away at why Afghanistan was of supreme importance. That said, why does he feel the fierce urgency of now regarding Olympic games 7 years from now, but cannot manage to meet with the general in command of our fighting forces in Afghanistan? (You know, the ones over there fighting and dying for our country?)
You seem like a reasonably intelligent Obot. Why do you not see the hypocrisy in this shallow, self-serving sham of a man?
Thanks for the compliment, Portia. I cannot account for the president’s schedule, or how those decisions get made, or for all the confidential meetings that the president has that the public never knows about. But I do believe that it is ridiculous to propose that Barack Obama thinks getting the Olympics for Chicago is more important than a successful conclusion to the war in Afghanistan. Only anti-Obama cultists would even pretend to believe such nonsense. Seriously. Who actually thinks this way? That a crazy man is in the White House who doesn’t care about U.S. soldiers being killed? Don’t you see that Obama must succeed in Afghanistan if he has any hope of being reelected? So even if you think the worst of him, it’s still logical to assume…ugh, why even bother?
Oh yes, let’s forget about McCain, Hillary and Bush and all the others that have warned for years that Bill’s bill and the thieving Dodd, Franks, and the rest of them paid millions to ACORN and others to f*ck us all raw!
I wish you would just shut up you stupid little pr*ck!
CAROL HAKA
Several equivocations in one statement. You misuse the term progressive. Unless you can demonstrate using the actual definition of progressive that your belief structure represents that, then you are mistaken. So give us the definition as you use it, troll, and then WE’LL decide if your argument holds anything more that empty blather.
What is condemned here is the manner in which these proposals are presented and the lack of transparency, which was promised by you bots and your master a long time ago. It is US who will decide what is transparent and what isn’t and not you shills who have a vested interest in secrecy. You whining bots railed for 8 years about Shrub and his chicanery but when you do what amounts to the same thing, you cry foul. Too bad, little snip.
Lastly, you insufferable, boorish moron–have a little tact and go somewhere else to expose yourself. We don’t much care for your verbal nudity. The transparency and sophomoric nature of your belief structure rather tends to blind us all with its patent stupidity.
In other words==shut the f u c k up.
My apologies for the fouled up block quotes. There were so many logical errors that I lost track of the blocking function.
As for you, Prima Bota, may your empty skull be busy with another day full of the words of That One echoing around the vacancy you call your mind so you won’t come here to pollute a 100-watt board with your 5-watt buzzer.
And that is what Obama is acting like. a republican! …say war,fisa, watering down healthcare and then calling it progress, while the insurance and big pharma benefit. Favoring wall street over mainstreet , no mortgage help for middle class while condoning the ones that raked the taxpayers money in, REPUBLICAN is what he is acting like,Okay? Oh yeah and his flying all over ,many for his own personal motives is not exactly what he told the auto corporations ,remember they drove their cars the next time. Wheres his transparency?
The reason we say he isn’t taken seriously he is traveling and talking about the Olympics,while not talking to Gen.McChyrstal about the sitution. Which do you think is a priority? maybe its something he promised Dally huh?
by the way I was a liberal democrat ,now I am just a liberal and I don’t see this in this administration ,just look at Dashcle helping from the sidelines and the actions in every main topic,say gay issues for another . Okay you piss me off .
I think, every time I hear Hillary speak, THIS is a REAL LEADER! and think where we would have been right now, instead of every issue turning into a photo op for Obama and having our country falling apart while the MSM cheers him on.
SOS Clinton and President Clinton inspire me because they are up to speed about all the issues and can speak without a teleprompter.Instead of speaking vaguely they give solutions and specifics.
Every time I see Hillary doing her thing for our country, I feel so proud of being an American. There’s a lady that represents the best of the best. Smart, beautiful, classy, generous, forgiving, amazingly honest, gracefully tough, and determine. A real leader.
Go Hillary!
Amy: Thanks for this. My guess is the Obama Dems won’t let hillary speak out on healthcare because they have spread the propaganda that health care is Edward Kennedy’s legacy. Not sure when that happened.
Stupidddddddddddddddd. It was when eddy passed the torch to BO!
Oh yeah, exactly how did eddy get the torch to pass????????????????
CAROL HAKA
Hillary’s speech at the UN
How often did she say “I”…; say “we”…??
Nuff said.
Obama wants an immediate rammed through without reading upheaval of our entire Health Care System , he wanted it done in a week or two. Meanwhile Obama wants to take his time and carefully decide on Afghanistan–a situation that has been ongoing for years, a situation that is costing the lives of brave soldiers–well he wants to agonise over THAT decision for days and weeks and months. Personally I think Obama could care less that soldiers are being killed because of his deliberate refusal to address the situation. After all aren’t most soldiers from Conservative States?
Also is anyone else concerned that Obama/Gibbs are smirkingly confident about Health Care passing-enough so that he can galavant off to Denmark to claim victory for Chicago. Man I hate these D.C. politicians. THe media frenzy that will accompany Obama’s victory with the IOC will be more than I can stand.
We can always hope he will come to earth with a bang. The bigger they are the harder they fall.
Prime Obot,
BO gave your precious little daughter the finger; what manner of father are you, to publicly proclaim your support for HIM? He called your girl a bitch (well, actually, he said her being a bitch wasn’t one of his 99 problems); he likened her to dirt, symbolically brushing her off his shoulders and dusting her off his shoes. And when his exalted speech writer publicly fondled the breasts of a cardboard likeness of your female offspring while simulating pouring alcohol down her throat, flaunting his depravity by publishing this over the internet; he chose to keep paying him, over making restitution to her.
Please, don’t feign disgust on this blog when people posit admittedly discomforting parallels in conduct so as to emphasize moral absolutes.
Exactly. The Obama administration is comprised of some of the most mysognistic and sophmoric “men” ever assembled.
Oh no, not the Obama team of “Sarah Palin is a C*nt” wearing t-shirt pigs.
Oh no, not the Obama team calling Sarah Palin a “pig”.
Oh no, not the Obama team lying and calling everything Hillary and Sarah disgusting lies.
I live to see his *ss impeached. He is dropping like a rock. I want him and his disgusting militant wife to have a long life hearing what overall garbage they are. Long live the creeps!
CAROL HAKA
Oh, and let’s not forget the cardboard standup of Hillary being groped in his Campaign Office, probably in the DNC headquarters!
You make me sick.
CAROL HAKA
Ah, so now one cannot support Obama and be a good father? LOL. That is the apotheosis of all the silly things I’ve ever read on this site.
The only thing that isn’t amusing about NQ is that every once in awhile people like you, who so easily and effortlessly dehumanize other people, or groups of people, gain power. And that, to say the least, is never pretty.
mmmmm-mmmm-mmm
Are you ready to be a bot?
Are you ready to be a bot?
Are you ready to be a bot?
Then let’s go and be bots!
Now speak to dehumanizing, little snip. You cultish fawning over That One is not something to be proud of but then your comments do demonstrate a decided lack of discernment and other attributes which are the domain of adults. Go away, child and leave discussion involving the higher functions to those of us who aren’t addled by drugs, psychosis, or a low IQ, one of which you demonstrably possess or suffer greatly from.
Suck it Obot, you backed a completely morally bankrupt corrupt lying thieving cheating stealing bastard named Obama and now you are going to have to be accountable to those of us did not.
Rev Amy,
Great find! Can we post this video at The New Agenda?
Amy, absolutely!! I hope my response isn’t too late; I’ve been out all afternoon. It is an honor - I would be delighted if you wanted to cross-post it! Any time, Amy!!
Done Amy.
It’s on our homepage!
Thanks again for this great find.
Excellent, Amy - thank YOU!
