Pat Caddell calls out White House Claim that Obama has governed during the toughest times

In summary, says Caddell … it’s a lie and the former Democratic pollster says it’s a big one that apparently the White House hopes if they tell it often enough, people will actually believe it. Hey, forget WWII, the Civil War, 9-11 … these are the worst of times. Well to a certain extent, I have to agree.

The spring board is Rahm Emanuel’s farewell rally at the White House yesterday where the now former chief of staff praised the President and stroked his ever growing ego by telling BHO what a great honor it was to serve a great President who has guided the ship of state through the toughest times ever. Cavuto uses that quote to lite Caddell’s fuse. Fireworks!

    Øbamboozling?  Well, at least we know "the one" is "unprecedented" about something….

    Also, despite what the Democrats like to hear, it is "Democrat party" and "ex Democrat pollster".  It is not a party of "Democratics", it is a party of Democrats.  The adjective does not apply.

    Pat Caddell is a rarity: an honest Democrat.

    Tim..I agree. He has been commenting from his heart ever since Obama was elected and it hasn't been positive for this immature non-leader. I welcome Pat's comments for sometimes they are better than conservatives. 🙂

    Don't forget Zell Miller!  One of the last of the real Democrats (before the progressive socialists took over).  He saw what the Democrat party was turning into and got out.

     

    The Dems should have listened.

    Obama is runnin' the okey doke on us, now.  He has become what he campaigned against, I guess.  In any event, one can be disingenuous without lying.  Obama is both disingenuous and a flat-out liar.

    Even as a liberal, he had a chance to not be a total screw-up…but with a democrat-controlled house & senate, the writing was on the wall from day one.  This is the type of politics that makes me want to puke.

    Someone stating something as if it's fact does not make it so.  And it's even less so if it's Rahm saying it about Obama.

    Obama's disingenuous ???What about George Bush weapons of mass destruction …they're right there somewhere…keep looking …you'll find em . What about Sarah Palin ……..screams about circumventing the constitution then quits her governorship….thwarting the will of the people.Total hypocrisy.Newt Gingrich the family values guy who requested that his then current wife put up with his affair……..Disingenuous……..yeah….There's a whole list of Hypocritical Repubs……you guys have to get real on this issue.

    We came close to the surgeon general having to remove Emmanual's head from…. well, you know.

    Hey Rickyrock – both parties are corrupt – you betcha.  But give the WMD thing a break. If a guy with a bomb in his shorts is condsidered to have a WMD, then YES Iraq had WMD's.  Unless you change your definitions to suit your mood – which I doubt.  Need more proof – The US sold poison gas bombs to Iraq, just ask the Kurds and Iraq didn't use them all.  Not proof enough – then maybe a service member maimed by IED's can explain it to you.

    I guess it isn't "hypocritical" if these actions are the norm in the Democrat party.

     

    Was there anyone, Republican or Democrat, domestic or foreign, that didn't believe the multiple sources of intelligence that indicated that Saddam had WMDs?  Even Saddam believed that.  And what was all the yellow cake for?

     

    Just askin'
