Obama Heard Calling Secretary Clinton a "Broad"
Alfred Friedman

Nothing Escapes Us Under the Sun

In what observers are calling "callous chauvinism," President Barack Obama was heard on tape denigrating Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a discussion with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, calling her a "broad."

Obama was reportedly frustrated that Secretary Clinton, his former primary rival, did not secure a key trade deal with China last week. According to Emanuel's staff, the President expected the deal to be one of the landmarks of his early foreign policy.

The recording, was dismissed by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs as "a misinterpretation." Gibbs would not go into further detail. The Washington Post's editorial board also declined to comment on the story.

When listened to, the recording of the President states that, "...I really needed her to do this. (inaudible) ... another failure. She told me that she didn't want (inaudible)." The President is then interrupted by a question from Emanuel, to which Obama replied, "She told me that she didn't want to do it. But she has to realize that I'm in charge, Rahm. She just can't go spouting her own views on important trips like some broad from downstate New York."

The tape was released to the press, despite the objections Chief of Staff Emanuel. After the Governor Rod Blagojevich scandal, Emanuel's conversations have been taped by staff, which makes it possible for all of his conversations with the President to be monitored.

This controversy comes at a time when Obama's approval rating is slipping with the American public, and Secretary Clinton is rumored to be contemplating resignation.

Secretary Clinton was unable to be reached for comments because of her trip to the Middle East.

did you read the entire thread? I guess you missed the several places where I explained that this article was a SATIRE. That means it was MADE UP by the guy who wrote it. And that it is NOT true. Obama did NOT say that quote.

We need to start a running tally of how many times the wingnuts fall for their own satire.

I chalk this one up as at least number 4.

But what do you expect.

So many times during the Bush administration, the real actions of Republicans actually "lapped" liberal satire.

Less than a year ago, Obama questioned whether Hillary is "honest and trustworthy" and referred to her as a "practitioner of old-style, special-interest politics."

Was that also "SATIRE?"



He also called her, "a compromised Washington insider."

If Obama was actually being honest then and Hillary is not "honest and trustworthy," why would he want her representing his Administration?

And if she's really "a compromised Washington insider" and a "practitioner of old-style, special-interest politics," how does this represent "CHANGE?"

So...if you don't like "SATIRE," let's discuss the things that he DID say about her.

So that completely excuses Obama. Once again, a liberal excusing bad behavior because somebody else did it. When do things ever get better in the liberal world of excuses and no accountability?

As long as there are people like r2 and oldtimer around there never will be accountability.

Perhaps McCain also felt that Bushes policies were worth backing

OH VEY oldtimer

And no Repubs called each other names during the campaign :???:

You're smoking things again if you believe that... What Obama said I believe is true.....But Hillary is also not President either because of that possibly- and working in a position where being an insider- and having contacts may pay off for the country in the long run....

But thats right- you want Obama to fail- and would rather see the country fall apart... :( :( :(

The "Dumb as a stump" comment was offered by the author as "Admissable Hearsay" when offering the comment as the truth.

Al Meyerhoff was a sleazebag lawyer with an agenda, also a liar just as you are.

The comment cannot be substantiated because the slime is dead.

Supposedly he was alone with McCain at the time of the allegation but even that cannot be substantiated...................

But I think he would have offered it as a quote were it the truth. :roll:

The title of this thread still has my hopes up.

What does that have to do with Discussion? McCain is out, heck is he even alive anymore?

When I think about it, you are the only one on this website I ever remember saying they supported McCain. You remember you were for him before you were against him at one time!

Everyone else was forced to support him because he was 10 times better than Obama. And so far we can say "We Told YOU So!!!!!!

You just ended that conversation with Reader, Texan. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Texan brings facts and class to his discussions. He doesn't treat his political opponents like raccoons to be treed and chortle gleefully like you do Husky...

But then he's more self confident and his ego doesn't need adulation like yours does apparently :wink:

If you don't like my "chortling", don't give me so much to chortle about. :lol: :lol:

I noticed that Texan's class wasn't enough to entice you to answer his questions, either.
