Four-Letter Words: Obama Uses the Juicy Ones

ShareDecember 30, 2007 5:54 PM
ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports: The three-way showdown in Iowa for the Democratic nomination hasn’t stopped Barack Obama from commenting about his potential Republican contenders.
A question by a Republican woman, to talk about the differences he has with Mitt Romney, solicited a surprising response by Obama at a town hall in Knoxville, Iowa.
“I was listening to an interview this morning where somebody asked him has he ever cursed, and he said, ‘well, of course, but not the real harsh ones.’ I have to tell you. I’ve used some really harsh curse words, “Obama exclaimed, “the juicy ones.”
Besides using the juicy four-letter words, Obama also added that there’s a long list of differences he has with Romney. Starting with, “Mitt Romney is a very handsome guy. He is taller than me.”
Obama went on to explain the differences in their views on the Iraq war and tax cuts.

Hilary appears to be programmed in all of her responses. Obama seems more truthful and will bring us out of the past. We do not need a blast from out of the past. John Edwards and Hilary represent the failed policies of the past.

It just makes you honest not qualified. Slick Romney, on the other hand...............

I saw Obama on Sun night in Des Moines. My 2nd time seeing him. No campaign has as much fluff as his. In an event scheduled for 7:30, by 8:25 we left hearing nothing about his plans. Just a lot of rhetoric about how poor things are now. A lot of pandering with south side references and Bush bashing. Nothing of value.
Also, the Senator who introduced him addressed Barack's lack of experience by siting that Lincoln only served two years in the house before becoming president. The world is wholly different now. The US was not a superpower - the country was not embroiled in world-wide crisis issues. I like Obama as a VP with Dodd or Biden, but I don't think he's ready to be president yet.

How does admitting to using four letter words keep a candidate from being genuine, honest and qualified? Americans have had enough lies from the Bush administration. We want a transparent government, and we can count on Senator Obama to bring it, along with superior intelligence, judgment, and strength. He was right on Iraq, on Iran, and Pakistan, and he spoke out on all three when others disagreed. We need honesty in the White House.

Four letters words worked for Dick Cheney! (and Ron Burgundy "Go **** yourself San Diego.")

Much ado about nothing. Obama is just doing what he's done all along, appeal to the younger voters who won't bother to come out to vote.

Obama's one gift is that of words, be they 4 letter or polysylable. He is probably one of the most gifted orators of the new centry. However, that would appear to be his only gift. I havent heard anything else from him, nothing of substance. My biggest concern is that he has not been vetted by the press. They are too awe struck and star struck to do their job. My fear is that he gets the nomination and the republicans do that for the press and we get another republican president.
