Ah, the winkie is out. Surrender accepted.
See what happens when the teleprompteur, Obama's Brain, isn't at hand?
Very Short List
Bitter Clingers.

The Cambridge police acted stupidly.
And now... in time for the Mid-term elections... The One We Have Been Waiting For... The Uniter... wants to "punish" his "enemies".
CHRIST! I thought he just had 2-years doing precisely that.
Well, the sober amongst us learned quickly he was wired this way... you don't inhale the toxic waste Wright puked from the pulpit for 20-years without it having some effect.
LOL... Obama is making Nixon look like the model bi-partisan president. Nixon may have had a private enemies list... Obama's is public, and it consumes more than half the nation!

No, not really. It is the point of his speech. If they they stop those who will help them, then those who won't can be called an enemy (little e). As in being opposed to their desires.
What part of "to punish our enemies....and reward our friends" do you not understand?
Name one time - one time in the history of America - where a sitting president has referred to the opposing party as "enemies".
Meanwhile, he won't even use the phrase "terrorists", but he'll call Republicans "enemies".
Do I need to define enemy for you? And the entire terrorist sillines, please.
This is so unlike Obama. You can't help but wonder if this was a Freudian slip.
This would be an excellent time for you just to stop. Geez.
Nah. You need to actually answer what I said. His reference to enemy has to do with those working for you and those working against you. To try and equate that to somehitng more than it was is just silly. I've tried saying this reasonably, but that doesn't seem to be getting thruogh. So I ask if you need a dictionary definition? And laugh at the silliness regardling use of the word terorist. That line of though is lacking . . . well . . . thought.
poor choice of words at best, telling look into how he really feels at worst. Either way, it was a stupid thing for a POTUS to say.
Meh, the other person is always the enemy in someone's view in one way or another. I hate everyone and that works pretty well for me.
I might agree with poor choice of words, but comparatively, quite mild. And I don't see anything telling about it. You have to do too much reading into it to create something.
the problem is that many of those in his "target audience" will take the term "enemy" at face value, regardless of how he intended it.
But I can decern his meaning from the entire speech.
I'm sure if asked, he would be more than willing to explain it as well.
unfortunately...you were not his target audience.
and I'm sure that IF he used the term "enemies" in the classical sense he would actually be honest about it, if called to the carpet. :shrug:
Again, all we had to read the entire thing. He provides the context, which is what I tried to show. We don't have to guess.

Please. "Punish your enemies" was an entirely calculated way of playing the race card among Hispanics. You know that. You're not stupid in the least, so I know you know that. Calling the other AMERICAN party your "enemy" is unprecedented and unpresidential.
We don't have to guess the words and tone he chose to use, either, because it's right there, which no "context" excuses, especially considering his earlier words.
Are you really still on this "context" malarkey? Is it so important to you that Obama not be seen in any possible negative light that you'll dutifully continue to embarrass yourself? Sure seems that way.
Tone? Do you have the audio? Or is this more of your spinning to make fit the view you want it to fit?
Were you looking in a mirror when you wrote that?

Nope. But I would concede that I wouldn't take either of us reading into comments too seriously. Instead, we have to take it face value, and that requires giving a nod to context, which is why I quoted the other part from you. Our "feelings" need not be entered into. No telling anyone what he really meant. Simply take in all in and make the contextual connections.
