Obama Word Slip -- Says 'We Sure as Hell' in Wisconsin Town Hall

Share

August 24, 2008 1:58 PM

ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports: Has Sen. Joe Biden already rubbed off on Sen. Obama?

Just one day after announcing his VP pick, the presumptive Democratic nominee showed a little bit of the loose lips reminiscent of the Delaware senator now on his ticket.

"If we can spend $10 to $12 billion a month in Iraq, we sure as HELL can pay $10 to $12 million -- billion dollars right here in the United States."

Obama was speaking about the need to invest money domestically -- on things like long-term energy solutions -- and looked a little flustered after the word "hell" came out of his mouth.

The Illinois senator quickly corrected his word slip in front of the town hall of 300 in Eau Claire, Wis.

"I apologize, by the way, I usually say 'heck,' especially after church. That sort of slipped out," Obama said shortly after his morning visit to First Lutheran Church in Eau Claire.

What problem does Obama have with our flag.....he spends $500,000 on his personal campaign jet to paint over the US flag on the tail and then they paint his little "O" logo with a undiscernable blue and red stripe....WHAT IS THAT? He did this before his world tour and now they are making hand bags out of this? Saw it on cable this AM.
What problem does Nobama have with our flag?
COUNTRY FIRST JOHN SYDNEY McCAIN.

John's conscience,
I didn't lie! I saw, with my own eyes, in an e-mail how obama stood with his arms at his side while the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner were being played. Maybe we don't recieve the same e-mails because I dislike obama and everything about him.
I do, however, recieve lots of mail showing him for what he truly is. A racist, anti-American bufoon!

Sen. Biden is so well respected in the Senate by the majority of both Democrats and Republicans. No matter what criticisms you have, this is a win-win situation for the Democrats. Nothing you say will change the fact that they will be the winning team for our country. This is a fact that you will have to accept come November. Get used to it. If you don't like it, move to another country.

NO ONE VOTES FOR THE BOTTOM OF THE TICKET.....EVER! Biden's experience doesn't take away Bozo's inexperience and judgement problems.
Love Hillary, Like Biden, Can't Stand Obama as CIC!
John Sydney McCain '08

I sure as hell agree with Obama that the Iraq war monies can be far better spent domestically.

McCain's campaign says: "John McCain doesn't speak for John McCain" Don't believe it, Google it.

I see the Obamamaniacs are out in full force. Guess McCain's people are still in church. I'm sure Obama knows a lot about hell since he is ready to send all of us there A.S.A.P. This Independent hopes for a bad snowstorm in November so I have an excuse to stay home altogether. If Obama wins, I can spend 4 years blaming the student drunks that now populate my neighborhood for being stupid enough to think an empty suit + foul mouthed VP could change their useless little worlds. Maybe more free beer??

Blue collar workers are gearing up ready to go! Come Nov. McCain's campaign is gonna be reduced to a yellow puddle.

Biden's experience happens to be the kind of experience that Obama denounced. It was Biden who advocated the Iraq invasion - quite contrary to Obama's call for "judgment". He essentially created the plan to divide post-war Iraq along ethnic lines -- quite contrary to Obama's unifying theme and judgment. Obama and Biden negate each other. If you want Obama's no experience and good judgment then you surely don't want Biden's much experience but no judgment.

Bottom line, together, they have nothing. NO Judgment and No experience.

All BO needs to do is scream a little louder, strangle a kitten, and we have another Howard Dean clone. Yikes!

Clearly, Debra, you can't keep up. Obama's refurbished plane DOES have the American flag on it and if you would just do a pinch of research, you will find that information at http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/airplane.asp. Read what it says, especially the part about the flag logo originally on the plane's tail, being a trademark of North American Airlines. And check out ALL the photos, especially the one of Obama's refurbished plane with the flag on the side of the plane. Do you guys just not bother checking facts first before spreading lies?

Does that mean that Barry now chooses to wear his flag lapel pin and properly respect the National Anthem, O/B? Nope!

If you are relying on Obama's website to solve his birth certificate controversy, you are looking at the wrong place -- How could you get true information there?

Now, court is involved in solving this mystery:

Philip J. Berg, a former member of Pennsylvania's Democratic State Committee and former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania, filed the lawsuit this week in U.S District Court, asking the court to declare Obama ineligible for the presidency because he is not a natural born American citizen, and called on the court to prevent him from running for the position.

The lawsuit claims that Obama's eligibility is doubtful on several grounds, including allegations by family members that he was born in Kenya, the inability of his parents unable to automatically grant him American citizenship, the questionable provenance and authenticity of his Hawaii birth certificate, and evidence that he was a citizen of Indonesia as a child and retained foreign citizenship into adulthood without recording an oath of allegiance to the United States, a requirement under such circumstance to retain one's American citizenship.

I wonder when the MSM will pick up this story.
