ROFL! I missed this little gem. Oliver complaining about Obama’s words being taken out of context. While clearly correct, Oliver, you have exactly zero credibility when it comes to this. Here’s an idea – exercise some intellectual honesty when it comes to your political opponents. Not that I think you will. Too funny.

Well, Indy, you’d be a cry-baby too if you grew up, as he must have, getting called “Boner” all the time.

John Boehner is a crybaby asshole. Lord, I can’t stand that man.

Note to self: File this under useless and false “gotcha!” moments.

So, that would be about 47 minutes, by my estimation! All righty then!

All of a sudden, quoting a candidates own words is a lie!

JG: Do you think that Israel is a drag on America’s reputation overseas?
BO: No, no, no. But what I think is that this constant wound, that this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy.

Now if we continue with the rest of his statements, we see that he is not referring to Israel as the “sore,” but, hey…as long as his own words are quoted after the question, we don’t have to show everything. It should be OK according to Oliver logic.

MacDaddy, the fact that he and his staff is easily distracted isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of your guy.

Lie machine is right. One of the problems with the continued so-called contest between Sens. Obama and Clinton is that it distracts Obama and his staff from dealing with major issues and letting voters know where he stands on the issues. At the same time, it opens the door to all kinds of speculation not based in fact. Blessings.

At least Obama doesn’t consider his mother to be a constant sore to the nation.

Shall we begin counting down until Jay expresses outrage at the terrible and disingenuous quote mining of Obama to mean something other than what Obama meant?
