President Obama 'Lazy' Say Republican Leaders

[TroyD]

Both former Governor John Sununu and former Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich tried to argue that President Obama is 'lazy'. Are they using racial code words? The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

1. Those two? REPUBLICAN LEADERS?

They could'nt book Beavis and Butt-Head? Throwing mud at the wall, see what sticks....

[TroyD]

3. That's not my phrase - I just copied it from the video

But I think it just basically refers to the fact that they are surrogates for Romney.

Gingirch has definitely been a leader of the GOP, although Sununu is a lesser player.

2. Nothing else worked, so now they are bringing

out the "lazy" black man stereo type? Nice, yawn going back to bed. Someone tell these fools the world changed while they were apparently in an underground Bunker coming up with this bull shit.

4. The are pieces of shit

It is particularly funny he tries to pit Obama versus Clinton.

5. Of course it's racially motivated. The old stereotype about lazy black men

of course the true lazy people are the republicans in congress who blocked everything Obama wanted to do for the last two years on the economy.

BTW, that nasty POS Sununu won't even be able to deliver his own state to Romney.

6. It ain't his to deliver! n./t

7. Preaching (aka dog whistling) to the choir

No one is going to be "flipped" by these absurd gum-flapping comments. It's just more red meat being thrown out to the same crowd of haters.

8. I just wish there was a hell so

those two bigoted, ignorant assholes could burn in it.

9. Disgustingly racist is what it is.

If you were going to criticize President Obama, "lazy" would be the last thing you'd think of unless you wanted to reinforce a stereotype held by the most ignorant, low information bigots this nation has to offer. "Driven" would probably be more accurate. Now if you called Bush lazy, maybe you'd be onto something, at least as to presidential duties. Reagan took a lot of naps, of course, but you have to take his relatively advanced age into consideration there. The most hardworking presidents in my lifetime - which is getting to be rather a long time now - have probably been Clinton and our present POTUS.

10. More "code"!

Such assholes AND bullies these creeps are...

Hey Newter...let's see you do some one-on-one Bball with Prez O...he would kick YOUR lazy ass all over the court!!!!

[lunatica]

11. Whereas Bush spent more time on vacation than on the job

but that's OK. The little time he did spend on the job was glorious. Just look at what he left for President Obama to deal with.

12. He forgot the word "shiftless" after the word lazy

for those with nostalgic longings for those quaint Jim Crow days.

[otohara]

13. He Aslo Thinks Obama's Walk is Phony

go fuck yourself former gov.

[Cosmocat]

14. Is there any Democrat who is as disgraced as Nwet Gingrich

that gets as much publicity?

Seriously, what democrat has cheated on and divorced twice, got run out of congress and lost in a primary and has the media so anxious to have him come on air and breathless in reporting what he says?

That being said, I think this is yet another frame from these morons that will backfire.

It is red meat that their bubble people will swallow hole, but like 99% of the other nonsense they throw out about President Obama, it is so divorced from reality that it will only serve to create dissonance between the overall view these morons have of the president and what people with a brain see.

[lonestarnot]

15. Good gawd! So that's why they've taken every other week off obstructing? Lazy, talk about lazy.

They can't even be bothered to think.

[GoCubsGo]

16. More of their usual projection.

They like to blame the President for the very things of which they are guilty. Same shit. Different day. Nothing new here.

17. We all know what they are trying to say... nt
