Makes sense if you actually play out the clip.
He was making a distinction between pandering and being pragmatic.

I know you're telling yourself that you're just "applying consistency" with this snide crap, but you're ultimately making yourself look sillier than Obama looks here.

How is that a WTF moment?

Because Coito wants it to be one.

Just look at it for 30 seconds, and then: Looks like someone in the White House press office needs to brush up on his or her U.S. geography.

Hey, rectangles are rectangles, right?

He must be busy improving our image and standing in the world...

Controversial Michigan filmmaker Michael Moore says President Barack Obama is not the person he campaigned for in 2008.

This game is called "lynch the scary black man in the White House."

[Coito ergo sum]

Since when is he scary?

You probably need to go start another teabagger thread. There aren't enough of them, yet...

[Coito ergo sum]

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ripped President Obama for the failure of the debt supercommittee, calling the president "a bystander in the Oval Office" in comments Monday.

“I was angry this weekend, listening to the spin coming out of the administration, about the failure of the supercommittee, and that the president knew it was doomed for failure, so he didn’t get involved. Well, then what the hell are we paying you for?” Christie said in Camden, N.J. " 'It’s doomed for failure, so I’m not getting involved'? Well, what have you been doing, exactly?”

No, it's "drive the Marxist Progressive incompetent pathological liar out of office." Which happens to be our right.

Perhaps you mean "urge the voters to reject him at the next election by presenting valid arguments"

Unless you mean a right-wing coup, of course...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Top national security lawyers in the Obama administration say U.S. citizens are legitimate military targets when they take up arms with al-Qaida.

The lawyers were asked at a national security conference Thursday about the CIA killing of Anwar al-Alwaki, a U.S. citizen and leading al-Qaida figure. He died in a Sept. 30 U.S. drone strike in the mountains of Yemen.

The government lawyers - CIA counsel Stephen Preston and Pentagon counsel Jeh Johnson - did not directly address the al-Alwaki case. But they said U.S. citizens don't have immunity when they're at war with the United States.

Johnson said only the executive branch, not the courts, are equipped to make decisions about who qualifies as an enemy

I'd prefer a vote (and I don't give a fuck about "valid arguments" to persuade the voters because it's politics and the Progressives have been lying and presenting invalid arguments for a century now) followed by somebody with a horsewhip driving him and Michelle out of the White House ten seconds after the vote is certified thanks. But, if wishes were horses, we'd all ride.

I would agree with that reasoning, outside the boundaries of the United States and its territories.

I'd go one step further and say that any American citizen who takes up arms against the United States by joining with another army or terrorists has forfeited his US citizenship entirely, and I'd support a constitutional amendment or law saying exactly that.
