I can't be the only one that thinks Obama...

[Buddyblazon]

dangles bait in front of his opponents. And when they bite...he capitalizes.

Am I going crazy? I seriously feel like things like this whole concentration camp flap...are actually "set-ups" by Obama.

I started noticing it about a month ago.


And no...there are no voices coming through my wall LOL

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. I bet Clinton brings up this Holocaust shit.

She's classy enough.

[AllentownJake]

4. No

I have a feeling she'll be watching every word that comes out of her mouth very carefully after this weekend. People are looking for her to say something divisive that are covering her. Not because they want to divide the party Its the only way the press covering her can get their stories picked up.

[AllentownJake]

2. Possibly

This would be a good one to pull. He's having problems with Jewish voters. Mis-Speak and than the next 3 days the RW looks stupid arguing over Buchenwald or Auschwitz were worse.

[Buddyblazon]

7. That's EXACTLY what I was thinking.

I mean...had he said the correct camp...we never would've heard about it.

Because he named the wrong camp...this is all over the internet and media.


He won on this one. Now every Jew in America knows he had a family member liberate a concentration camp. How is that bad?

[AllentownJake]

8. and the RW looks stupid

for attacking a WWII vet's story he told his great nephew.

[undeterred]

9. I really don't think normal people give a shit about this.

Only crazed political junkies like those of us who post on DU!

[Buddyblazon]

Yeah...

well I think it works on both types of people.

It impresses us junkies because it's good chess. I was an Edwards guy. But his game just impresses the shit out of me. I still wish I could vote for Edwards in the GE...but I have zero problem voting for such a cunning candidate.

13. Community Organizing

Mixxed with 3 years of Harvard and teaching law part-time.

He thinks very strategically. Was responsible for the largest voter registration drive in the history of IL. Which he is now taking to the country for the 5% of Hillary supporters who don't end up coming on board by November.

Voting on campus this year is going to be the cool thing to do.

3. Obama has run an awesome campaign, staying above the frey...

His people are obviously the best in the business.

[BlooInBloo]

5. I know I've done the "rhetorical chess sacrifice" thing a number of times....

It sure seems MIIIIIGHTY coincidental that the truth turns out to be as good or better than the error time and again.

heh.

[movonne]

6. This is a possiblility...not so crazy..pretty soon no one will believe

any thing coming out bad about him..kinda a smart idea..

[Buddyblazon]

10. I can't recall the other events where he came out better because of

a supposed gaffe. I just know they've occurred.

Does anybody have any other examples?

[Jane Austin]

16. I thought when Obama talked about Ronald Reagan

and mentioned that Reagan was transformational but Bill Clinton was not . . .I thought he said that to get under Clinton's skin, and Bill obliged by making a series of hot-headed, finger-wagging, red-faced and wild accusations that have served only to make Clinton, himself look bad.

At first everybody concentrated on the Reagan aspect of Obama's remarks, but before long Clinton was reacting to the perceived slight, and he's been looking worse and worse ever since.

[Raine]

11. I wouldn't put it passed him & his campaign

they are BRILLIANT! :thumbsup:

[matcom]

12. "Am I going crazy?"

Nope. You have won.

[BeatleBoot]

14. Anything stupid he says has a secret, ulterior motive

in ObamaWorld.

It's almost like listening to Beatles records backwards, man.

[PM7nj]

15. I always thought it was his camp that pointed the media to Wright.

They knew someone would eventually find something and make a big deal about it. Better that it came out in March instead of October.

[Raine]

18. That's what I think

and it was pure genius.

[Eric J in MN]

17. Not a setup.

Obama couldn't have predicted that mentioning something like that in response to a question would be a big news story.

[ShortnFiery]

19. Yes, Obama should have a marquee electronic LED sign on his right lapel, "Ask me about my flag pin?"

:evilgrin:
