Barack Obama response regarding Cojones!
From Nightline:

Barack Obama was asked about Carville's cojones comment, this is what he said:

"Well, you know, James Carville is well-known for spouting off his mouth without always knowing what he's talking about. And I intend to stay focused on fighting for the American people because what they don't need is 20 more years of performance art on television. And that's what James Carville and a lot of those folks are expert at ... a lot of talk and not getting things done for the American people."



LOL: PERFORMANCE ART - GoBama!

2. I personally thought he lost his cojones when he married Mary. She shut him up a lot.

9. Gobama! Performance art on TeeVee
I love it.

And that's not just a throw-away line. Does anybody else have the feeling there could be an insightful 20 minute speech about what has happened to the media somewhere in the near future?

Obama has a very good way of speaking frankly and bluntly without being mean-spirited. If anybody could deliver this message to the media and live to tell the tale, he's the one.

There are probably loads of "grunts" in the media who would love to hear this come out, and maybe even a few of the visible ones would grow a pair with Obama's help.

I can't remember ever looking forward to an election campaign as much as this one, and I've seem a whole bunch of them.

The fun starts now.

3. Performance art? Wow. Keep trying with that average joe voter thingy.

Performance art. Unbelievable. He can't even keep a term that denotes dilletante snobbery out of alleged trash talking.

"One finds Mr. Carville's responses dull and uninspiring as say the latter works of Motherwell that I personally have found empty, and indicative of late modern art, but also his response lacks a certain (insert French).

Way to get em' Obama!

7. no, that works fine.
joe caucasian mouthbreather, the salt of the earth, the most important theoretical democratic voter in the nation, believes that performance art is worthless (which it is not). it adequately panders to blue collar ignorance & misdirected anti-elitism.

should BHO have made an American Idol reference?

14. Sure-let's talk down to the base and behave as if they're illiterate, ignorant
dolts who couldn't POSSIBLY understand any cultural reference beyond Hee Haw.

WHO's being "elitist?". The guy who doesn't try to "dumb down" his language depending upon whom he's talking to or the people who insist that those folks are too ignorant to understand what he's saying?

10. There It Is Right There. Obama's Undercurrent Sneer & Hidden Nastiness Revealed as The Mask Slips...
And it's just the tip of the iceberg. There will be more if God forbid we are stuck with him.

Oh, and his wife has said in an interview that she would like to claw Bill Clinton's eyes out.

What a "lovely" couple they are, he an Michelle.

People this country needs to look up to and look to for leadership -- NOT!

11. This reply is a classic example of how Obama can do no right
If Obama doesn't fight back you will label him as "weak with no cojones."

When he does respond and fight back you say..."Obama's Undercurrent Sneer & Hidden Nastiness Revealed as The Mask Slips."

:rofl:

12. Obama is smart enough not to get baited into a pissing contest
with some piss-ant surrogate.
