Drudge is talking up a release of a new smear against President Obama.

But, supposedly, even Fox is reluctant to air it.

Curious tape dropping tonight. NOT from MOTHERJONES. Will cause controversy, ignite accusations of racism -- in both directions!

Meh. Nothing to see here.

And what doesn't ignite accusations of racism these days?

We'll see how this develops...
 
it appears to be this old video which has been on Youtuve for five years.



Nothing to see here, just Drudge trying to play the race card on the eve of the debate.
 
What Obama said:

We know that we have to invest in transitional jobs too. When there are people who are homeless, veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder from this war in Iraq, and thousands of children aging out of foster care, we can’t expect them to have all the skills they need for work. They may need help with basic skills—how to show up to work on time, wear the right clothes, and act appropriately in an office. We have to help them get there. That’s why I have called for $50 million to begin innovative new job training and workforce development programs.

OBAMA DECLARES HOW POOR PEOPLE: 'Need help with basic skills, how to shop, how to show up for work on time, how to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office'... Developing...

ooooh. :rolleyes:

Big deal.

Is this all they are left with?
 
Meh.

I think this is Drudge's lame attempt to somehow, ANYhow, stay relevant.

He fails.
 
Sigh. Called my parents tonight. My mom watches Fox News and reads this Drudge thing. She thinks they verify each other, therefore she's well-informed and totally aware of everything that happens. She also cried some tears of anger because Obama wouldn't answer the phone when the diplomats in Libya called him for air support and that's why they died. My mom is a nice lady, but she is old and crazy when it comes to politics. She will believe every crazy thing Drudge says, and will vote accordingly. And there are millions like her.
 
I'm trying to figure out what this video is supposed to be exposing? Can anyone translate what the right thinks it's found here?
 
Obama gave the speech in the middle of a hotly-contested presidential primary season, but his remarks escaped scrutiny.

Translation: "No one, not even his primary opponent Hillary Clinton, cared at the time about this speech, but our candidate is getting beaten like a red-headed stepchild in the polls right now, and this is really all we've got."

In fact, Obama, who was not using a teleprompter

Actually, wasn't 2007 before the primary season? I'm not sure what month this speech was made in? This is Tucker Carlson trying to dig up something more for Fox News to go off the rails about. Hannity's been showing it for the past forty-five minutes, continuing his effort to re-wage the campaign of 2008 ('cuz that worked out so well).

I've seen most of the speech and this is another that will blow back on the conservatives. Most of the content is sensible.


ETA: Is this the same as the tape Drudge was hinting about? Should the two threads be merged?
