Obama Denies He’s Campaigning As He Crosses The Country Giving Campaign Speeches: “Some People Might Interpret It As Campaigning, I Consider That To Be Important To My Leadership”…
Some people?
Nice try, Barack, your laughably pathetic Jedi mind tricks won’t work on us.
LAS VEGAS – President Obama refused to pick favorites in the Republican field or wade deeper into the heated primary-season rhetoric, declaring, “Until the Republicans have a nominee, we don’t have a campaign.”
In an interview with Spanish language network Univision, recorded in Arizona one day after his Tuesday State of the Union address, the president was challenged to defend his own campaign-style speeches as he travels the country. He denied that he is campaigning.
“My general instinct is to focus on doing my job because my attitude is, if I’m doing my job well, people will recognize it, and the politics will follow,” he said. “Some people may interpret that as campaigning. I consider that to be important to my leadership in governing this country.”
The president is on a three-day swing through five states that might well be battlegrounds for the fall general election. “What I’m trying to do is persuade as many members of Congress as possible, as well as the American people, that we’re making progress” on economic recovery.
When the Univision host asked why he has failed to pass immigration reform, the president blamed his adversaries. “We couldn’t get any Republican votes. Zero. None.”

He has to deny it , if he admitted it , the money would come out of his campaign coffers , this way WE pay for it .
All he ever does is campaign, he has no clue how clueless he is. He doesn’t know how to protect the constitution or our borders… he is a street hustler turned community organizer who managed to bullshit his way to the very top.
“Some people may interpret that as campaigning. I consider that to be important to my leadership in governing this country.”

Exactly what is being accomplished by Obama’s presence? What does Obama’s presence make possible that wasn’t possible without him?
Itemize it please.
“All he ever does is campaign….”

Since 1996.
“BO” has never shown any leadership, why is he claiming that now?
I think he just likes to fly around on AF1.

“Some people?” “Leadership?” “We are not campaigning?”
Nice try, barry. We are on to you; including Democrats!
And im not gay….

Words Have Meanings, in Books and at Airports
Remember when your mother told you, “Words have meanings! Be careful of what you say because what you say can hurt people. What you say and how you say it tells others the type of person you are and what they will think of you.”
No? Well, I can’t remember my mom saying anything like that either. She was always too busy warning me not to play in the street and telling me to go wash my face.
But both spoken and written words can have powerful meanings and can be reflective of both the character of the speaker and the speaker’s estimation of the character of the addressee.
President Barack Hussein is very adept at using words, words and cliches fed to him by his handlers and dictated by his teleprompters, meaningless vocabulary like “hope,” and “change,” and “yes, we can.” He’s not so adept at dealing with those who disagree with him.
The notoriously thin-skinned Obama who early on in his run for the presidency expressed sensitivity over the obsession with his Dumbo ears and ruled out any political exploitatation of his daughters and then consistently exploited Malia and Sasha, met face-to-face Wednesday with Arizona governor Jan Brewer who seemed to mince no words with the president.
Brewer didn’t mention Dumbo but they did engage in a heated exchange on the Phoenix-Gateway Airport tarmac. Obama’s MSM and the leftist blogosphere have latched onto the photo of Brewer wagging her finger at the president of the United States as clear evidence conservatives have no respect for the presidency and as emblematic of conservatives’ disrespect for the country.
Based on a picture, the ever-objective, HufPo’s Michael Shaw described Brewer as “a reactionary governor, overflowing with the same lack of respect for the President as the radical far-right she’s aligned with” and called it an “ambush” despite raw video showing Brewer greeted him warmly with a big smile and handshake.
Although she had to publicly say Obama “loves his country,” the polite and dignified Gov. Brewer may have no respect for him at all but she is concerned over the integrity of America’s borders and has the deepest regard for our country, a concern and patriotic feeling the president has yet to demonstrate.
Full details of that brief airport contretemps and the contents of the letter the governor handed to Obama haven’t been released, and may never be.
However, it is known that the governor and the president weren’t happy with one another. He didn’t like her criticism of him in her book, Scorpions for Breakfast, she wasn’t pleased with his rudeness and walking away before she was done speaking.
(As an aside, sales of Scorpions for Breakfast skyrocketed after the finger-wagging picture hit the blogosphere.)
According to Politico.com, a disingenuous committed Obamian supporter, Brewer said, “He brought up my book. And he was a little tense. I asked him if he read [it] . . . and he said he read the excerpt and he didn’t think that I was very cordial. He was somewhat thin-skinned and a little tense to say the least. I was trying to be very calm.”
It seems our president is developing a petulant pattern over pesky, un-cordial words. . .

“Some people may interpret that as campaigning. I consider that to be important to my leadership in governing this country.”
Reading someone else’s words aloud in front of handpicked audiences is all he’s mildly competent at, ergo the gangly dimbulb failure has decided to term this parlor trick “leadership”. What the f*ck, is this jackass 9 years old?
Oh wait- he is rather accomplished at smoking kools on the sneak, filling out ncaa brackets, golfing like a complete spastic, and blowing mountains of our cash on his fin de siecle style parties that he throws every wednesday in the white house.
Guess we’re going to hear about how that worthless behavior is “leadership” too.
Steering the ship of state into the rocks of slovenly incompetence- that’s winning the future, soetero style!
He’s spending millions of out tax dollars to fly around and campaign, play golf anf go to fundraisers. That’s it.
And yet the democratic base still loves him. I just don’t get it. Whoever said liberalism is a brain disorder is right. It has to be as there is no other explanation.
Leadership???
Look, all he is doing is trying to figure out is which states get the solyndra cash, that is all.
@berlet98
I guess I grew up on the stupid side of town
My mother and every other kids mother had a mantra they kept repeating over and over and over
‘sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never Hurt! Me!’
I thought VPs were supposed to be the ribbon cutters?
If he thinks it’s part of leadership to get out among the people, what does that say about his refusal to meet with and negotiate with Congress?
the GOP! not the candidates needs to become relevant again and begin funding ads (since they are too cowardly to actually hold obongo to the LAW) showing relevant campaign finance sections with a background of obongo jetting off all over the country and the security detail caravan with lights flashing
and just a ‘few’ clips from his ‘Leadership’ speeches
WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE AD CAMPAIGNS????
I would fire the incompetent lot of them
obongo is QUITE happy thank you with the pace of destruction,
his talk about ‘leadership’ is a red herring, a straw man
he didn’t and still has NO CLUE what leadership or WHAT the job he was entrusted with actually entails
he certainly has no intention of DOING it, most days his schedule starts at 10:30am, and then he jets off to campaign

according to the american psychiatric associaton, 1 in 5 Americans suffer from some form of mental illness
Coincidence?
Why are the Republicans in Congress so afraid to directly confront this lying, thieving, oath breaker head on. Why aren’t they investigating his use of government funds and property to campaign endlessly. Why? Good question, think I’ll email my Representative.
@Junius
Boehner’s district isn’t far from where I live, so I’ve been falling him closely. He hates confrontation and hasn’t done well the few times he’s tried it.
During the payroll tax cut debate the Senator from neighborinig KY didn’t do him any favors.
Readers Digest version: Republican establishment is spinelss.

There are at least 5 people posting on this topic. Which one of us ………………..
the gobbledygookers will come up with big explanations to justify their ‘soft’ science but the bottom line is this:
when a person spends their entire waking existence denying the evidence that their senses take in from the environment it creates a disruption in the thought / logic process and renders them incapable of determining reality from fantasy
does this apply to you?
I’m tellin’ ya – we need a special election right now. This country is leaderless!
God bless America, our troops, Israel, and decent fellow humans everywhere.
LEADERSHIP????? When did G. W. Bush get back in office?
He couldn’t lead hungry troops to a chow line.
On second thought, he has sent millions to the soup lines.
Both the USURPER and the USURPET are VACATIONING all over the country, partying their asses off at taxpayer expense; YEP! still “serving” his counrty, though which is it? Pockistan, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Iran?
