Daily Gut: Obama’s Coffin/T-Shirt ‘Moment’
by Greg GutfeldOkay.
The video I’m about to show you is like a parking garage of creepiness: wrong on every damn level.
It’s President Obama at a Washington fundraiser last week. He’s soaring high on health care rhetoric, when he brings up a dead campaign worker. Well, actually he brings up himself. Pay attention, not just to him, but how the audience responds. If you’re a cow, it’ll turn all four of your stomachs.
It takes a lot to give me the willies. But you know what? That gave me the willies. And also scurvy, rickets and the bird flu.
Sometimes you come across something a politician says that is so beyond comprehension, you start wondering if he might be losing it. Now, I’ve never said that about Obama. Unlike the jeering libs who regularly devoured George Bush over his stuttering syntax, I always chose to focus on what Obama says, instead of how he says it.
Which is why, maybe, the big O is so much scarier than Bush. Consider what he did at that fundraiser.
-He remembers the Obama shirt, but not the name of the woman wearing it. Gross? Creepy? Try a combination of both: Greepy.
-Once again, he used the deceased to make a political point. I hate this crap, because the goal is to use an example of loss or suffering to prevent those who disagree from raising an objection. It makes me think we were too hard on John Edwards. After all, he just chased ambulances. This guy is chasing hearses.
-He made it all about him. While the rest of the world wrongly focused on Rahm Emmanuel’s “retarded” comment – this is where the real outrage lies. Obama brings up the final moments of a woman’s life, and feels compelled to insert himself there. This reflects a gaping narcissism whose ghoulishness is only matched by the adulating guffaws of a cackling audience.
It’s so gross, maybe it is funny.
And if you disagree with me, you’re probably a racist homophobe who hates dead people.

I read he did not even know her name.
I won't listen to obama anymore. Tired of his condescending voice.
That's creepy, all right. Obama really is a genuine corpse-man, come 2012.
Wow. Just…wow…
That's political corpse-man, lest I be accused of threatening the president.
I don't want to! You can't make me click on that and watch it. You can't and I won't!
I think, instead, I will go watch the next episode of Roswell on hulu.com… the one where Tess starts poaching on Max.
That's gonna hurt, too… but it's all relative. I just have to keep in mind the alternatives.
I wonder if it is one of those shirts that say "So, how's that hopey-changey thing working out for you?"
Seriously, weird, yes, creepy, yes, narcissistic, very. No one could ever accuse Obama of having a sense of modesty, thats for sure.
Ick.
You know who's also getting buried in Obama t-shirts?
People who sell Obama t-shirts.

I think he is telling a big one. Anything to talk about himself and to increase his importance.
I commented on this speech by Obama in the online presence for the St Louis Post-Dispatch (disclaimer – I live in STL) last week, and my original, civil comments suggesting the article was about Obama and he cannot even let the dead rest was deleted by the online monitor……..without even citing an entry was made and "deleted by the moderator". My second comment is there at 1:20pm CST after I noticed my earlier comment was gone, and after I called the newspaper……still waiting for a call back. Here's the article:
http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf...
What jumped out at me was THIS question:
Why didn't HE, Obama, and HIS CAMPAIGN, as her employer, provide her with health insurance coverage? He would rather use her tragedy for his political benefit! That stinks! It says much about this character, doesn't it?
Even COBRA benefits would have still been in effect following the campaign, so there's no excuse why Obama couldn't have provided her with insurance coverage. No excuses, Obama! But that doesn't fit with his victimhood mentality, does it?
Is it the one that says "I'm With Stupid?"
This has me laughing out loud.
And if you disagree with me, you’re probably a racist homophobe who hates dead people.
BRILLIANT.
………….still laughing……………hahahahahahahahahahaha………….
Didn't Nikita Khrushchev say something about burying people? Fun fact: the link below talks about a Marxist saying that describes how "the proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_will_bury_you
iowahawk….Thank You SOOOO MUCH……Damn, that still has me laughing….quick mind, fantastic comment…thanks
So let me get this straight –
She worked for you but you didn't give her insurance
You campaigned for everyone to have insurance
Then you pushed legislation for mandatory insurance on everyone..
Then the person that worked for you without insurance died because she didn't have insurance(your words) and you use her as an example?
Playing the race card has ran its course so it looks like they're going to start throwing down the dead card & like sbenard asked: Where was Obamas health care plan for his employees?
The woman CHOSE to spend $30,000 to invest in a new business and CHOSE not to purchase health insurance even though she already had felt a lump in her breast. But it is Bush's fault she died.
I wonder if he gave her the tshirt?
What the %@#&*^$???!!!!!!!
I thought he uses a teleprompter so he doesn't have to remember names, etc., he can just read it off the screen. So, either he didn't have a teleprompter for this event, or he didn't chose to include her name.
how is it that she couldn't afford health insurance but still be able to battle cancer for four years?
Dude, I live 3 hours south of St. Louis and have occasionally been subjected to the so-called thoughts that make up the Post-Dispatch editorial section. Please tell me you weren't overly surprised by that.
Well, at least he knows of one vote that he can still count on in 2012.
You are a National Treasure
Notice all the Ums and Uhs. He does that a lot when he hasn't got a teleprompter.
I knew it. I'm in big trouble now. LOL
some really funny comments here. you people are sharp!!
good question, ghost of ghandi. i wondered same thing.
So, let's see if I have this right… the story was on his teleprompter, and he didn't even know the woman's name.
You would tell a story like this to connect with the people to show a softer side, to connect with the people… to show that you made a genuine connection. This is something that he shouldn't have needed TOTUS for, let alone not having all the facts on the teleprompter when it's being told.
Maybe he would've remembered her name if he jotted down on his hand?
Not surprised at all, the P-D is a rag, whether as paper or in electrons. It poorly represents a fine city, though with its local distribution (MO / SO IL), carries little weight. Best used for animal excrement management. The paper tries in vain to be "Pulitzer" caliber. I thought Lee Enterprises, owner of a few years, had more cajones.
Wasn't there a dustup about the efficacy of the tests that she didn't get because she didn't have healthcare?
I think everyone here at BH already turned each other in about a year ago.
or is it the joker face saying socialist?
come on, don't you think next year nancy pelosi will still wear hers? oh, while on the unemployment line!
Not surprising coming from the same guy who left his dead grandmother unburied in Hawaii for so long till he could bother to take care of her.
The man is a ghoul.
How about this one: "I gave money, energy and time to the Obama campaign and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"
Note: I did NOT give money, energy or time to the Obama campaign.
Just when you think he can't stoop much lower he stoops 6 feet.
Truth is, if she had cancer under Obamacare, she would have been considered a lost cause and given a "pill" with the T-shirt and told to hurry up and die to save money.
To the left it is not only Bush's fault, he actively targeted her with a secret breast cancer raygun.. laughing while she withered and died.
I may be forgetting the parts where they try to connect it to Bush's plans to take over the world and kill all minorities via earthquake and hurricane generators.. honestly, you need a pie chart to follow the left's special brand of crazy.
So, wait. She worked for his campaign. Wouldn't he be insulting himself for not giving her proper insurance? And for that matter, didn't his health care bill receive a whole lot of criticism for not recommending that women get Mammograms before the age of 40? Ironic, no?
No actually there is one word that comes to mind.
Corpsman
He should have wrote it on his hand.
Ooh, guess I should have read the rest of the comments
Well his careeer as a comedian just died, wearing his political career t-shirt. This clip needs some legs.
Yes, yes you are. Pelosi's already heard about it and started tearing up on TV talking about racism from the '70s…at least I assume she was tearing up. Couldn't really tell.
Hey Greg I just got done reading George Washingtons Inaugural Address and he mentions himself alot as well. Only everytime he mentions himself he does so in talking about how we entrusted him with the job of presidency. He mentions himself by saying I should make mention of God and how that is the true power from which he must respect and hopefully guide him while he leads. He mention how he does not want to be paid for his service other than in the best interests of the country and asks for no pention upon leaving office.
He also mentions how limited his powers should be and are as bound by the constitution.
My how things change.
Okay, well that's going a little extreme. I'm sure it could also be used for insulation purposes, or maybe even for human excrement management. Of course, these uses would require actual paper, not electrons.
So that's why I keep hearing those strange clicks on my telephone.
"But enough about me… how about me?"
– Barack "Big Zero" Obama
I'm barricading the doors and blacking out the windows right now.
It was that darned Magic Shirt!
But I'll try:
Dead Man Talking
OMG using a dead woman he doesn't even know to score points!
It's not Obama's job to provide healthcare to those volunteering or working for him. It's the job of the American tax payer (aka "the rich"). Yeesh, you have got to get more into Obama's Little Red Book or you'll keep making these faux paus.
"I voted for Obama and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. AND I'M DEAD!"
Bush: so crazy, he's brilliant!
Then he could mock himself!
Actually, the teleprompter would have to show a picture of his hand with the words on it. Left teleprompter = left hand. Right teleprompter = right hand.
And she didn't have a t-shirt!
Nice one!
Glad the compassionate DemocRATS are in power.
This guy is making a joke out of a destitute woman who died from breast cancer.
Where are the gangs of people who scream about such things? (only crickets chirping…. far away an owl hoots…)
In Central America one of the tennents of a succesful compaign is to give away t-shirts. I know of people who vitied based on the number of shirts they had from a particular candidate.
and Betterred, that was way to ironic for the average Obamite to understand
Either that or you have an African Bushman on the line………..
what an asshole obama is
I wonder where B0 has done with his Nobel Peace Prize money. Can't he donate it to his folks? Also doesn't his campaign staff have a health plan? John Edwards staff had one.
She should have opted for the casket filled with Doritos.
Oh no, now the Obama re-election campaign will want a dead person story at every stump speech. An offering to the new Sun God…and he gives a lot of speeches.
Actually I can see him bringing her up, as part of the health care thing. I don't like it, but I can see it. However the reaction being laughter from the crowd pissed me off more.
All I got was BAD TITLE.
I'd have swarn he said "she was buried in a Obama suit there at the end. (??)
You're just tired of it NOW?
It's the Party line!
It's that baby blue tie that does it. It must be his favorite.
…and your supporting evidence/documentation is… Just kidding.
I dunno, to me it seemed oddly fitting.
On account of the fact that the whole thing seemed like a really morbid joke.
And other news :
Red Eye Celebrates Third Year By Topping CNN Prime Time Last Week !
The show had better ratings in the A25-54 demographic than Campbell Brown at 8pmET and Larry King at 9pmET, and tied Anderson Cooper at 10pmET (Monday-Thursday).
CONGRATULATIONS GREG
…and South America too. In Brazil, they get these privileged students from the university with clipboards and take down all the items the household needs, then they leave never to be seen again. Oh yeah, they would throw these huge parties with a big mobile stage and live music too.
Don't forget the silver bullets and the holy water. You guess who needs which.
Anybody else getting that weird "Boxer/Animal Farm" vibe from that video?
The real Obama is showing through again. Who cares what happens to what's her name as long as she was able to help the Messiah become POTUS? Appalling.

No, it’s true. There’s even a Facebook page using her death as a cheap emotional ploy to support Obamacare:

The Audacity of .. um .. sumpin'.
Seriously .. 0BowMao is taking the normally gentile, civil world of politics to .. umm .. oh what the hell am I talking about?!
0BowMao is the perfect politician. He embodies ALL that we hate of politicians and adds more hubris and narcissim than has ever been possessed by any human in our lifetimes!
Narcissist with a capital 'N'.
Was she from Chicago?
the question that jumped into my head was:
Was this woman older, or was she a "forty-something", who had been told she didn't need a mammogram until her 50's?
(Yes, I know that info came out later, I can't help spontaneous thoughts.)
Ooh. Janet Napolitano .. how scary!
Comes with all the practice bowing.
Absolutely. That way they could have saved money and not even bothered giving her a t-shirt. They would have made sure her absentee ballot was filled out first, of course.
Sounds like a bad date or two I had back in the day. Sheesh, I thought I was through with those losers.
The dirty nasty secret is that poor dead lady could have gotten a FREE breast exam. Well, everyone has their purpose they say. Hers, according to Obama, was to be a poster child for ignorance. His and hers.
Napolitano's gang couldn't catch an illegal immigrant (or a cold, for that matter) so they ain't gonna catch me.
Epitaph: "My God went to the White House and all I got was this crappy t-shirt"
Someone should write a song about it. Oh, wait. They already did–"I always feel like somebody's watching me."
well yes, she died of cancer….but at least she was wearing the right t shirt.
gaping narcissism…um, yeah.
Greepy works.
So does " A meteorite is going to smite Hope-A-Dope because he is abhorrent".
Zombies need to have the brain destroyed. Anything will do.
The "O" symbol should be kind of puckery, like a sphincter.
