RSSBarack Obama, NO HE CAN’T, …”You can’t change Washington from the inside” … What Happened to 2008, “I can bring Change?”
CHANGE YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IN …
Talk about an “EPIC FAILURE”. Barack Obama, who ran on “Hope & Change” in 2008, who ran on the idea that he would bring change to Washington, DC now admits … NO HE CAN’T. As reported at the Politico, Obama says, “You can’t change Washington from the inside”. HUH? My what a difference 4 years makes and a completely failed Presidency. Dear Mr. President, are you completely clueless or once again can you just not take responsibility for your ineptness? It does not matter whether one is on the inside or the outside, change comes about through strong, persuasive leadership and a message, agenda and policy that actually is better than what was in place. Might I remind everyone that Obama had control of the House and Senate for the first two years of his administration. What did he change? Let’s face it, Obama just can’t get the job done and need to go.
A surprising comment from President Barack Obama, at the Univision forum in Florida earlier, on things he has learned after four years: “You can’t change Washington from the inside.”
It’s a tricky thing to claim outsider status after serving in the White House for four years (and in the Senate before that), after running on a hope and change message, and it is not an especially helpful comment for a president running for reelection with a plea to voters to let him finish the work he began but hasn’t closed out.
The rest of his statement was about doing more to involve the public to bring change from the “outside,” which is more in line with what he said before. But if the small pool of persuadable voters see Obama as saying Washington is irretrievably broken, even for him, they could be open to a fresh case from his opponent.
In 2008 Obama said he would bring change, “I can bring a lot of people along on my coattails”.
That was then, this is now. Suddenly Obama can’t bring change from the inside. After all his promises, after all this pandering … “NO HE CAN’T. So Obama can’t change Washington from the inside, he says, you can aonly change Washington from the Outside. America … its your job in 2012 to put Obama on the outside. Jammie Wearing Fool compares Obama’s glaring gaffe of change to Romney’s so-called secret tape mishap. Which one do you the the liberal, corrupt mead complex will focus on?
From the Washington Free Beacon:
“The most important lesson I’ve learned is that you can’t change Washington from the inside,” he told a Univision forum Thursday. “You can only change it from the outside.”

“The most important lesson I’ve learned is that you can’t change Washington from the inside,” he told a Univision forum Thursday. “You can only change it from the outside.”
This is what Obama didn’t say …but should and may well say in the future … When I came into office I tried to do my best to work with a republican house with the new tea party members. I quickly found the party of “NO’ became the party of “HELL NO”. If the house coundn’t pass a jobs bill for our returning vets they no longer are in touch with the majority of our country in supportting our heros. So yes, only outsiders, YOU the voter, can change how we go forward, Give me a house that I can work with to move this conntry forward. Give me a a Democratic house and senate …. thats why so many are distancing themselves from Romney … even Romney

The furthering of the Maxist ideology embraced by Barack Obama can only happen through more Executive orders. Many Democracts in Congress get it. They will not bow to the far left policies Obama will be attempting to pass … policies that go far beyond liberalism … polices that define “Change from the Outside” and … policies that define “Forward”.
The following article is a must read in its entirety.

GOP: New Obama deportation policy violates oath of office
06/15/12 11:31 AM ET
… Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) piled on, arguing that changes of such significance should require the approval of Congress.
“We have representative government,” West said in a statement, “and I think right now this shows that we’re getting away from government that’s based upon the consent of the American people, and we’re starting to live under a rule by edict or executive order.”

Romney, campaigning against longtime Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2007, . . . “So he certainly has political skill, but I believe that at this time, to change Washington, it would be helpful to have somebody who comes with more private sector skill, experience outside Washington. I don’t think you change Washington from the inside. I think you change it from the outside.”
Let me repeat that:
I don’t think you change Washington from the inside. I think you change it from the outside.
Hmmm; now where have we heard that idea before?????

Obama and the minions like yourself who make excuses for this pathetic loser are as bad as Obama. For the love of God have any of you on the LEFT ever taken responsibility for your own actions or words? I didn’t think so.
Sorry SPINMIEISTER … Barack Obama ran on Change you can believe in. You gutless OBAMA apologist. That is all you are. You cannot answer one person’s disastrous comment by blaming Bush. Oh, this time its Romney. This is why you are regarded as an Obama apologist.
You have been more than figured out. The fact that you cannot comprehend that a candidate who ran on “Hope & Change” who ran on change you can believe in now says this … you are really pathetic.
You are actually not worth responding to anymore.

Here’s what Obama actually said; in context:
“I’ve learned some lessons,” Obama said, reflecting on his first term as president. “Most important is you can’t change Washington from inside, only from the outside. That’s how some of our biggest accomplishments like health care got done–mobilizing the American people.”
Selective editing by the Romney campaign hides the truth again! Does he think Americans are too stupid to understand exactly what was said. Why would he hide things from Americans? Is he looking out for you?

SM: Sorry RK, Obama bombed badly in this Univsion interview. I give the Univison folks credit, they held Obama’s feet to the fire unlike most of the liberal MSM. However, Obama ran on change in 2008. That was the only reason why he was elected and now this?
Obama is a joke. Everyone makes fum of Biden for his gaffes … this interview was one disaster after another.

This LOSER can’t do anything right! VOTE ROMNEY!
T’was the night before elections,
And all thru’ the town,
Tempers were flaring
Emotions ran up and down.
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap,
Had shut off the TV,
tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden,
There arose such a noise,
I peered out my window,
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet,
They wanted my pay
To hand out to others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money,
And quick as a wink,
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink.
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart.
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
‘On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, on Pelosi’
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause,
And as they flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at a nation
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!
One final note…
IF YOU DON’T WANT SOCIALISM GET OUT AND VOTE !!!!
Author unknown
As usual, he is wrong again. It takes both approaches.
We need a President that understands that the people are in charge and that the elected government officials will have to listen to the people and quit pandering to the few.
Oh, I’ve learned we can change Washington from the outside. With our votes!
[...] of change surrender. Obama has gone from the candidate of change and “YES I CAN” to “NO I CAN’T”. Barack Obama promised change and now he is the one who cannot get change even though he had a [...]
#2-SM: I never talked about Obama, yet that is all you choose to respond to. If there is an Obama apology or excuse in my words that don’t include his name, then the world has gone crazy.
In case it wasn’t obvious, I was merely pointing out the facts that Romney used the exact same words that Obama used. Every aspect of what I wrote was true. Novel concept, but I like it.
I left it to others to ponder what, if anything, it means for both candidates to speak the same ideas, and the reactions that result. I was hoping to see how people might think about this possibly new information.

SM: And i am merely pointing out the fact that Barack Obama ran an entire 2008 campaign on Hope and Change, Change you can believe in and how he was going to change Washington if elected. Conveniently you can’t seem to find one youtube video that shows Obama is a fraud and a liar.
Suddenly, the change isn’t him, its the people. This guy is a fraud anyone that would vote for him is either ignorant, part of the leach class, or a socialist.
Basically Obama is saying in 2012, forget everything I said in 2008.
Obama is a pathetic excuse of a human being.
#7 – Now the Romney is in the picture, we can write the entire story.
News flash: “Willard Mitt Romney slams Obama for saying the same thing he (Romney) said during the last campaign cycle”
Romney adds: “That’s just crazy talk!”
_________________________
SM: You know why you are considered a troll and an Obama apologist … you cannot refer to Romney by his real name. Quite telling, not you say? When have you used a derogatory name in your postings for Obama? Hmm?
The difference bTW is Romney said it as an outsider … not President of the United States you clueless wonder. Romney said it one time … he did not base an entire friggin campaign on it. Sorry, you lost this one and it shows just how desperate you folks on the LEFT really are.
I would debate Obama any day on his comments of change on the outside and own him.
Mitt Romney in 2008: Change Comes From The Outside

SM: Sorry LIBS, your boy ran on Hope and Change. And if change comes from the outside. So what that means is that Obama was truley full of bull shit in 2008 and he should have never been elected. Obama is a joke. Guess what, Romney is the outside candidate.
Here’s what Obama actually said; in context:
“I’ve learned some lessons,” Obama said, reflecting on his first term as president. “Most important is you can’t change Washington from inside, only from the outside. That’s how some of our biggest accomplishments like health care got done–mobilizing the American people.”

The implications of Barack Obama’s words are far reaching if he is reelected. His mandate for a second term appears to imply that Executive Orders are the only way to go in passing legislation to further his Marxist/Islamic appeasing agenda. In other words … the will of the people through elected representatives needs to be bypassed.

Obama Calls for ‘Democracy with a Small D’ in 1995 Video
September 19, 2012
NEW YORK – A 1995 video depicts Barack Obama calling for “democracy with a small ‘d,’” while pushing a society based on collectivism and “common good.”
In the video unearthed by KleinOnline, Obama hails unions and collective bargaining as encapsulating the societal “common good” of which he speaks.
Obama urges society to collectively move “forward” – a word that would later serve as his 2012 campaign slogan.

New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism
April 30, 2012, 06:56PM
The Obama campaign apparently didn’t look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, “Forward” — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/apr/30/new-obama-slogan-has-long-ties-marxism-socialism/
Barack Obama is not politically naive. He was aware of the implications regarding the campaign slogan …. the campaign slogan that defines his ideology.

#9-SM: Really, not his real name? So what is his real name then?
BTW, I’m glad calling someone by the wrong name is such a negative thing. Unless they’re the President of The United States; then it is OK to use whatever will malign that person just because you disagree with their political policies.
____________________
SM: I could care less what your real name is, i do care that you try and post under two identities. That is an issue.
#11: Just wondering, are you trying to say that “Democracy with a Small D” is a bad topic?
Wasn’t sure what your point was.
#8-SM:
RE: “Conveniently you can’t seem to find one youtube video that shows Obama is a fraud and a liar.”
I guess I didn’t get the memo that this was my new assignment.
______________________
SM: You probably could not handle the assignment, like Obama you would get an F. How could I expect an Obama apologist to actually find youtube’s on his lies to America.
#14-SM: I doubt this is even worth mentioning, so feel free to ignore if it has no value.
In case it matters to you, the “my real name” part of the reply didn’t signify anything to me, being unrelated to anything I said.
__________________
SM: Like most of what you say.
#16-SM: Actually, you shouldn’t expect someone to find such videos if they are not looking for them.
____________________
SM: Exactly, why would an Obama apologist do such a thing? But then again, I thought you were just fair and balanced looking for the truth. Guess not, eh? The exact definition of an Obama apologist. There is a future for you at MSNBC.
Not looking for information on a particular topic is not indicative of taking a side.
_________________
SM: Yes it is when you only look for info on one side. Please don’t lie, are you ashamed that you support Obama? It’s OK, admitting you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery,

#14-SM: Apparently, this is what passes for a meaningful exchange:
SM 1st: “you cannot refer to Romney by his real name”
RK reply: “So what is his real name then?”
SM 2nd: “I could care less what your real name is” ???????
I guess this means something, but who knows what?
________________________
SM: Ok, point taken, We will refer to the President from now on as Barack Hussein Obama. Funny how that was considered bigoted and taboo in 2008 if you referred to him in that manner.
#21-SM: Thank you.
I would try to explain the difference in use of the two full names, but I expect it would be fruitless, unfortunately.
__________________
SM: I can easily explain the two … One in Romney’s he does not go by. He calls himself Mitt. The other, Obama used when he was sworn in as President. I would suspect Mitt will have top be sworn in with his full name as well when he is elected President. What’s the matter, Obama ashamed of his middle name?
#22-SM: I have no info to dispute your statements as to how each has used their name, so will accept these statements at face value.
The issue of BHO is who uses it and why. Those who were aligned against Obama have used his full name in order to malign him and insinuate that “Hussein” had a sinister aspect to it. It helped promote an “other” narrative, perhaps even an un-American opinion. AFAIK, it is not typical for a President to use a middle name in most circumstances, so I find it natural for Obama not using Hussein for everyday use. If your rule of thumb is that “he does not go by” it, then Obama not using Hussein meets your criteria. For consistency, one would also not use Hussein in order to respect personal preferences.
Regarding WMR; again we can look at who uses his name and why. I agree with you that he calls himself Mitt, and he does not go by Willard; that is a clear preference. He seems to be ashamed of his given name Willard. I freely admit to using Willard to embarrass him for not using his given first name, but there is no alternate meaning that I am taking aim at.
I suppose there is also the matter of why people use Barry Soetoro, but that is another topic entirely.
If I was legally named Willard , I’d want a macho nickname like “Biff” or “Skip” or “Ace” not some wimpy “Mitt”. Guys in my neighborhood got nicknames like “Dusty” and “Killer”. Of course they weren’t wimpy
[...] bad was President Barack Obama’s acknowledgement that the Obamamessiah could not change Washington, DC from the inside? Even Saturday Night Live’s Seth Meyers ripped Obama on the clueless and ill-timed comment. [...]
