Obama's antics put me more in mind of Snookie than snooker.

It's truly pathetic when the president can't even be a good sneak.

Backfired BIG TIME!

Thank you Des Moines Register! You done good here. I might read and buy your paper from now on since you have balls the size of cue balls.......

Shimp

In the papers endorsement they say both are equally qualified. No way. Obama is only qualified to be a lobbyist for a golfing company, a basketball team rep, or a marketing op for a bathhouse in Chicago.

That's gotta hurt the living gods ego.

Just another attention-seeking-stunt by the grifter-in-chief that went bad.. Looks like obama actually thought the paper would endorse him no matter how much he insulted their editorial board, after all, the NYSlimes has. Good for him! I think the last time the Des Moines Register endorsed a Republican was in 1972! Read it and weep, Axelgrease!

Uh oh- David Gregory is sure to be in an even worse mood , this morning.

Some of us read and commented upon editor Rick Green's odd "disclosure" of Obie's call. In his article Green disclosed nothing of what Obie said but used a lot of words to talk about him and the circumstances of the call. One wondered what Obie AND Green were up to.

Now it becomes clear that this was another Obit ploy to get publicity for himself. No Drama Obama drumming up drama for himself.

Just when you think he cannot become more cynical, more crass, away he goes...

For those who may have missed it, and can no longer find it at the paper's website, editor Rick Green's article and update are here:

Green's original article was posted here. Although its link will not take you to the article (see my previous post), it is interesting to read LDotter reactions to Green's meandering piece:

After reading everything, including the paper's unusual article describing how its board of editors supposedly consensually arrives at a presidential endorsement, I believe publisher Hollingsworth said "enough!" and caused the paper to endorse Romney.

"Here's how endorsement process works"

This is how Obama spends most of his time - cooking up political tricks and gimmicks. I'm glad to see at least some media outlets are saying ''Enough of this B.S.''

Machiavellian Barry --- or whoever really does the thinking for him --- has always viewed Immigration Reform as a very valuable political weapon, and why would he want to lose that weapon by solving the problem. Latinos should have long ago figured out that they were being played for suckers on this by Obama. But they remain in the main, clueless about his cynical, even cruel, game, and loyal to Obama, just as he and his strategists figured long ago.

There is only one acceptable means of immigratioon reform: If someone is neither an American citizen or here legally, he should be forced to leave.

We should protect the integrity of our borders. Someone commented that a nation which cannot protect its borders is doomed to fail. That is the first responsibility of the federal government.

Maybe the Register should have asked Obama to explain himself up front. It's almost as if the Register was on the cusp of endorsing Romney, and this pushed them to do it.

It appears that papers all over the country are endorsing the Romney/Ryan ticket as the only sensible route to America's future. Here in the battleground state of Ohio, the Cincinnati Enquirer has today endorsed the Romney/Ryan ticket.
Only looney tune papers like the NY Times and the LA Times cling to the failed policies of Obman/Biden. I suppose they want to keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome!
The Enquirer posts a poll that shows a dead heat in the presidential race. Here in SW Ohio, we are all in for Rommey/Ryan. Cleveland Democrats have fled the city/county there like rats from a sinking ship. I forecast Ohio will go for Romeny/Ryan and give them the boost they need to win the White House.
Romney/Ryan in Nov. for a better America.

Snookie doesn't hide who she is. She's a 'Jersey Girl' and doesn't pretend otherwise.

O is a lying dog who tried to hide his real self and it's finally caught up with him.

Snookie is more honest, IMHO

I too smelled a rat with this release of "off the record" Obama quotes.

But at first I thought the Des Moines Record was complicit in the stunt.

For the newspaper to endorse Romney a couple of days later -- can that be seen as anything other than a slap at Obama?
