President Obama Quotes Jimi Hendrix

Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 5:49:04 pm PDT

Right wingers are getting all huffy about President Obama’s off the cuff line, but this is Obama at his best. Our quote of the day, by far:

They talk about me like a dog.

Obama at rally >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYw_17HPSRc&feature=player_embedded#!

They even talk about the clothes you wear, Mr. President.

UPDATE at 9/6/10 5:51:06 pm:

In case you didn’t recognize the quote (and I don’t know if Obama really intended it), it’s a verbatim line from Jimi Hendrix’s ode to being a total freak, “Stone Free.”

Stone Free

Everyday in the week i'm in a different city
If i stay too long people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog
Talkin' about the clothes i wear
But they don't realise they're the ones who's square
Hey!
And that's why
You can't hold me down
I don't want to be down i gotta move
Hey
Stone free do what i please
Stone free to ride the breeze
Stone free i can't stay
I got to got to got to get away
Alright
Listen to this baby
A woman here a woman there try to keep me in a plastic cage
But they don't realise it's so easy to break
But sometimes i get a ha
Feel my heart kind of runnin' hot
That's when i've got to move before i get caught
And the is why, listen to me baby, you can't hold me down
I don't want to be tied down
I gotta be free
Owh!
I said
Stone free do what i please
Stone free to ride the breeze
Stone free i can't stay
Got to got to got to get away
Yeah ow!
Tear me loose baby
Yeah!
Stone free to ride on the breeze
Stone free do what i please
Stone free i can't stay
Stone free i got to i got to get away
Stone free go on down the highway
Stone free don't try to hold me back baby
Stone free oh yeah baby
Stone free got to got to get away
Stone free goodbye baby

1. And every time he calls on the VP

3. When did Little Green Footballs become a liberal blog?

I remember it being hysterically RW and Islamophobic.

4. Looks like it was November 2009 when they broke from the right. I don't think they are liberal,

probably more middle and too sane for the insanity of the RW, Republicans and Teabaggers.

Why I Parted Ways With The Right
Opinion | Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 6:49:45 pm PST

1. Support for fascists, both in America (see: Pat Buchanan, Robert Stacy McCain, etc.) and in Europe (see: Vlaams Belang, BNP, SIOE, Pat Buchanan, etc.)

2. Support for bigotry, hatred, and white supremacism (see: Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Robert Stacy McCain, Lew Rockwell, etc.)

3. Support for throwing women back into the Dark Ages, and general religious fanaticism (see: Operation Rescue, anti-abortion groups, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Tony Perkins, the entire religious right, etc.)

4. Support for anti-science bad craziness (see: creationism, climate change denialism, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, James Inhofe, etc.)

5. Support for homophobic bigotry (see: Sarah Palin, Dobson, the entire religious right, etc.)

6. Support for anti-government lunacy (see: tea parties, militias, Fox News, Glenn Beck, etc.)

7. Support for conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.)

8. A right-wing blogosphere that is almost universally dominated by raging hate speech (see: Hot Air, Free Republic, Ace of Spades, etc.)

9. Anti-Islamic bigotry that goes far beyond simply criticizing radical Islam, into support for fascism, violence, and genocide (see: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, etc.)

10. Hatred for President Obama that goes far beyond simply criticizing his policies, into racism, hate speech, and bizarre conspiracy theories (see: witch doctor pictures, tea parties, Birthers, Michelle Malkin, Fox News, World Net Daily, Newsmax, and every other right wing source)

And much, much more. The American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff.

I won’t be going over the cliff with them.

I like when they go after the insanity of the right. I clicked on a link to over there during the Park51 hysteria and bookmarked it to check out every so often. I went over tonight to see the reaction to President Obama's speech and found this. I thought it was interesting and decided to share. :)

6. That quote has been going around in my head Pirate

thanks for remembering that!

I thought it was so familiar .. and it sounded colloquial
otherwise it would have been "They talk about me as if I were a dog"!
