It wasn't just one hug.... Obama and Rahm were practically slobbering on each other. At one point, I thought Rahm was going to give Barry a reach-around for old time sake.
I like Reagan, but then again he did a lot of wrongful things like trading arms with Terrorists. I personally liked Pres. Eisenhower, he did the greatest thing for the US in growth and transportation building an Interstate Highway system. It put millions to work and jump started the auto industry.
Why do people insist on analyzing every little thing Obama does? He wears fancy pants on a beach, he puts mustard on his burger, he's not emotional enough, too professorial, uses a teleprompter (something EVERY President does), and now he's gay because he gave a man a hug? Good God, what is wrong with this country?
does ANYONE have the video of that guy saying "rough talk him and run him off'"? Is there such a video? What are horseshoes? are there any horse socks? is anyone listening to me?"
LOL - I think the moment of silence from Cenk at 1:13 to 1:25 says it all. What will they not try and fault Obama for? It's just too ridiculous for words...
@williafx It's from 'Gladiator' with Russel Crow. You know, he was a general, and then became a gladiator and eventually killed the emperor. Great movie :).
It's the beginnning scene, like 10 minutes into the movie, basically the first German you see when the German throws the Roman 'diplomat's head away. Great sound if you ask me.
LOL - I think the moment of silence from Cenk at 1:13 to 1:25 says it all. What will they not try and fault Obama for? It's just too ridiculous for words.
Some people are so old fashioned that things like this really get to them. I've met so many old guys who measure respect in the grip of a handshake, and I'm always a little surprised when they grip mine a little too hard.
10 dollars says this guy can occasionally be found at highway rest areas in the dead of night, "shaking hands" with anonymous, forceful, and powerful truckers...
@Phyrexious Yet they're always mocking liberals for their love of the "Messiah." What a bunch of maroons. Besides, dont they know they're worshipping a man who had only half a brain for his whole life and then lost even that much in his later years.
Hmm, I think Obama's breathing too deeply. I mean seriously, what's his problem? Why cant he take shallower breaths like a real man. Reagan used one half of one lung to get oxygen, and along comes this Kenyan Muslim Terrorist Darky who thinks he can run the country on full VO2? He's no patriot. John Wayne panted like a dog in heat. Now theres a REAL American for ya! Dick Cheney hasnt breathed in 12 years! Has anyone X-rayed Obammy to see if he has a flagpin on his lungs!? No?! How Un-American...
why didnt the young turks cover the ONE NATION RALLY. We should be supporting and covering rallys like this. If it were the republicans every one covers it. When its the progressive not even left media covers it. What the Buck.
Larry Kudlow probably thinks having sex with your wife once a year on your anniversary is normal too. The guy has never produced anything within his own life apparently that he would find it appropriate to get emotional over.
It actually kindove makes sense. Not Cenk, but but the other guy. America's image is at stake, and that is actually important to conservatives and liberals. If you go to work and have a teary moment, do you hug other employees where millions of people can see? I doubt that. It does make Obama look weak, if Obama's action don't reflect that already, then he most certainly showed it here. People don't want a weak leader, they want someone strong, who will do the right thing no matter what.
@groam6666 actually emotion being the strongest thing human have acesss to. Shows that a person is strong it shows that he actually care about something. Do you think Americas Image climbed as George Bush flew in onto a air craft carrier with a mission accomplished banner in the background? That made us look foolish. Strong leaders are those with hearts in their chest, not dress up cowboys who follow the script like the ones you propose.
@Bigbird5553 I don't see the correlation between power and weeping. Mission acomplished banner is pretty emotion evoking, but not so much as sobbing. You are absolutely correct, strong leaders are those who have hearts. But, it's just now how the world works. We both know that. It's a reality we cannot change.
I would love a leader who actually gives a damn, but international relations are brutal and cold. It's an image that must be upheld for the good of the state.
@groam6666 The point is... it's not a role you can just read the part of in a script. The banner was emotion evoking for you? lol. In an age where more and more of a persons life is video taped, there are bound to be moments you have to act human for once. That goes for all leaders including Vladimir Putin, or Obama, or Bush. Criticism for acting that way is negative, "gossip" politics. That should be saved for people who read the "National Enquirer" or celebrity rags.
@Bigbird5553 The banner was no emotion invoking to me, but to many Americans, it signified a victory or triumph over the occurrence of 9/11. It is actually very important to many Americans, it's not something to laugh at.
I see what you mean, politicians are human, just like us. But, we don't want them to be human, we want them to be better than such emotions. I get your argument, and I agree with you. You are right though, so I will admit defeat...see, Conservatives can admit being wrong :)
@groam6666 You have no idea what you're talking about. The "Mission Accomplished" banner had no relation to 9/11 whatsoever. First, the Iraq War had nothing to do with 9/11. Second, the whole purpose of the celebration, that Bush himself stated clearly, was to signify and celebrate the "end of major combat operations" in IRAQ. Of course, it was not the end of combat in Iraq, but merely the beginning. To most Americans, the mission accomplished banner was a huge failure and embarrassment.
@Bigbird5553 I'm a European Conservative, in that I believe worker society should be taken care of, and business as well. Business should be first and society second, but most of the time in Europe, those two phrases are the same.
Anyway, I like your post and I was wrong on this issue. It's just frustrating to hear an argument from a liberal that is both encouraging anti republicanism and anti business at the same time, if you know what I mean.
@groam6666 Thank you. I think the labels of republicanism and liberalism are purposeful constructed wedges used through long times periods.

There are different kind's of hugs.
This has nothing to do with HOMOSEXUALITY.
Why do you liberals always turn everything into either something RACIST or HOMOPHOBIC?

A BRIEF hug was all that was required or even a two handed hand shake with extra vigor.
